Parsing the image filename

Also waiting another few hours for download to complete. In the mean time, just parsing all the attributes of the file name:

LMY47E: Newer than LMY47D, which is explicitly called 5.1.0 on the Nexus Factory Image page (not the usual numbering convention, which would be 5.1; possibly foreshadowing that they know 5.1.1 is hot on its heels)

release-keys: signed by Google

subsidy-default: Includes parameters that resets the SIM Lock on the radio to "default" status, which we assume is factory-unlocked.

CFC: any idea what means?

I would assume this also gives us an image for the /oem partition
[Nexus 6  General] dmeadows013:
Judging by the name this was made on the same day as the image on Google's website, so it is very unlikely that there are major changes.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]:

1. Does the contents of the included slcf_rev_b_default_v1.0.nvm look like plain QMI commands to you?

2. Do you still have a user-friendly one-click tool that can send DFS commands to a device in diag mode?

How to Flash

Maybe a dumb question... but can this be TWRP flashed (I thinking no) or is there some other method? I was thinking this was a standard recovery image that could be flashed in stock recovery?? Other than that, I am not sure... if anyone has success flashing let me know! :confused:

edit...

duh.... ok sorry... my bad for not looking into the zip.... I see the flash all .bat
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
I believe you will need the Motorola Fastboot tool (mfastboot) to flash this in the motoboot mode. You can get it from the MotoDev site, or search on the forums. Note that this is NOT the same as the standard fastboot that ships with the Android SDK (which will also work with the Nexus 6, but not with this particular zip file).
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
Did It!!!

As described, used mfastboot... flashed each individual image file based on the steps in the flashfile.xml!!! Booted up everything real nice.... download myverizon and voicemail as soon as I went through initial setup.... rooting now!!! :good:

bootloader remained unlocked the whole time!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] elreydenj:
Does the firmware seem configured for VZW? VZW ringtones and boot animation and the like? Or does it appear like something that Google will drop on us in the near future? I wonder if it will ever hit the factory images page?
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
only thing Verizon really are the 2 app downloads.... everything else is the same... not boot animations nothing. Root and TWRP setup worked fine as well.... Not going to relock bootloader though... I know the horror stories of Hard Bricks.... Not going to take off force encrypt either.... was having trouble with the phone wanting to go bootloopy with the regular image from google when I made it force before... I will let everyone know bugs and post some pictures as well once I set it up fully!! :highfive:
[Nexus 6  General] Xirix12:
Question: I think I may have been under the same circumstances as you. I am rooted, with TWRP, and bootloader unlocked. I am however, running a custom rom (5.0.1 encrypted). I won't be relocking the bootloader. What steps (if you are able to provide them) should I take to achieve 5.1 with bootloader still locked and then root and install TWRP. (Please keep in mind I a have not had a Nexus device since the very first one).

Edit: I am on VZW network but Google Play Store Nexus 6.

TIA
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
Will do... I am still setting up the phone. Once I complete it and make sure it works fine for a little bit then I'll post. Don't want to cause any issues that might lead to someone bricking their phone
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
Initial observations

System partition looks complete, but I won't have time to do a diff between the two until next week. But by then, we might have an official changelog.

I don't have an AT&T device to test, but applying this file certainly attempts to set the SIM lock to it's default factory-unlocked state. But it's also possible the radio firmware could reject the unlock commands if it has been previously locked by a carrier. Only way to know is to test.

There is an oem partition file within the zip, but it's literally just the string "Hi, Fly Guy". Just open oem.img with a text editor to see it. I cannot imagine that is a valid ext img file, so I'm shocked that it was able to be flashed. If so, that would suggest that the Verizon devices will ship with no unique customizations (e.g., bootanimation, ringtones, that cannot be removed without root), and has a sense of humor.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

[MENTION=2897743]mahst68[/MENTION], did you flash only the image files, or also the subsidy_lock_config file (slcf....nvm)? What mfastboot command did you use to send the slcf? What was the response did you get back from that command? And when you flashed the oem.img what response did you get back?
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
There was talk that people noticed that verizon backup was showing up under the accounts in settings. does it show there?
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:

[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
I think it will until offical devices from verizon get into peoples hands
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
It's in the Google factory image, there's no reason to think it wouldn't be in this.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
I think the device reconizes the sim and has the correct provider backup would show. or does it show all the us provider back ups on it?
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
Didn't flash those.... neither of the .xml called it out to flash... oem.img flashed ok but if you look at the log on the phone it say mismatch length or something error... I saw the other files but pretty much did only the ones listed in the xml's.... I almost forgot to flash cache.img.... but did it last so order doesn't seem to mean too much, maybe. At the end, did mfastboot.exe erase userdata then into standard recovery, formatted user data then booted system. The basic command is: mfastboot.exe flash "partition as listed by the flashfile.xml" "image_file.img" (ignore quotes)

my phone was originally from tmobile... but i use verizon service... :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
It's in system partition which is loaded before the sim is even recognized.
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
Here's a screen capture showing "E" not "D" ending version
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
It's on line 6 of flashfile.xml. I agree with you that "flash" isn't the correct verb to describe how those commands are sent to the device, and "mfastboot flash <partition>" wouldn't be the command to do it, so that's why I was curious if you found another command to do it.

I'm not sure what you mean, as that sounds contradictory. If it threw an error on the phone, then it didn't flash ok. Based on your description, it sounds to me like you attempted to flash oem.img, but it failed (no changes committed to phone).
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
OEM.IMG gave "okays" in the terminal window on my computer but like I mentioned the bootloader log said somekind of error.

As for the file with slcf , I did nothing with it so idk if it using something else for the subsidy lock or what was previously stored or if that file is also meaningless like the OEM.IMG ?! Looking at it on notepad its a couple sets of numbers starting with 2 then a bunch of F's in between each number set.

[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Someone should mirror this. 3.5 hours is insane for a file this size.
[Nexus 6  General] teddyearp:
The fact that it wears the Nexus moniker guarantees that, regardless of carrier. But the nice thing is the 'open handset' FCC rules. Now we do not have to worry about which carrier this phone was 'made' for.

I will give it a shot, but as slow as my up speed here it may be just as slow, lol.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

So my download of this file got aborted last night, so I am trying again.

But seriously, there really is no need to get excited about this file. I feel confident that all it has to add to your device is VZW bloat. In my honest opinion, the .xml.zip at the end of the file name reminds me of the files used for the XT907 to either down flash it, or flash it back to stock using RSD Lite. This file is most likely not rooted, most likely a stock VZW ROM that is intended to be flashed with stock recovery. To return the device to an unrooted, no custom recovery, absolute stock state.

however, as I have read, there might be some radio files to be gleaned from this file, I will wait until I get the whole thing to see. See I can, but create radio only flash files I will, nor cannot at this time.

good luck

[Nexus 6  General] szale9001:
Just FYI for you and anyone else who wants to know, you can flash these unzipped files in the bootloader with mfastboot. I was curious, so I erased the system partition and used mfastboot to flash the radio and the system bits. Didn't have to wipe data or anything. I cleared the cache as a safety measure, but that was all.

At least for myself, I saw no VZW bloat except for what was already included with the other 5.1 image (VZ APN and Backup). The radio is slightly updated from 95 to 98 but other than that no noticeable differences. Pretty sure they used the exact same stock kernel, so no need to worry about incompatible custom kernels (running franco right now). I just figured on the off chance they included some weird VZW fix, I would use the latest build since they are my provider. Hopefully it will get uploaded to source one day and we can see what they really changed. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Intub8:
I wonder if this one has a different bootloader. Maybe this one will allow unlocking with out the box selected in developer options.
[Nexus 6  General] phishfi:
What makes you think a Verizon image would make unlocking the boot loader easier?
[Nexus 6  General] Intub8:
Its really a google image not a Verizon image , it is just shipping with the Verizon nexus 6. Several people have bricked their device and could not unlock the bootloader on lmy47d because they can't boot into the system to select allow OEM unlock. I would love to see what the changes between the two are.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomGuy982:
You must flash all of these partitions (below) using mfastboot. If you do not flash the system.img sparsechunk files, then you did not flash the system.img. I used mfastboot flash <partition> <filename> for each of the steps. I would like to note that I received an error on the OEM flash. The message was something along the lines of partition size mismatch. Make sure you check oem unlock in dev options after the phone boots up. I'm on the "Android is starting" screen currently. I'll report back my findings after checking it out. For the record, i did not wipe data or cache yet. I want to see what happens first.

EDIT: Fixed a tired goof up. The system files should be flashed to system partition, not recovery. My apologies for not catching that typo earlier.

To simplify that a bit, this is what I did:

mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img

mfastboot flash radio radio.img

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

mfastboot flash cache cache.img

mfastboot flash oem oem.img

OEM will throw up a mismatched partition size error on the device log, but I do not guess that was an issue as My Verizon and Visual Voicemail were loaded. I can confirm Voicemail works! It is running so fast right now.

[Nexus 6  General] darkjedi7:

[Nexus 6  General] phishfi:
I hate to be rude, but anyone who updates their firmware via fastboot and then immediately locks the boot loader (without first running the system to make sure it works) is being pretty naive.

Unless the factory image (Verizon's version) locks the BL during flash, which I'm 100% sure it doesn't, then this us purely the fault of the user.

It is the userdata image file that determines the size. The thing is: you don't need to flash that file anyone (actually you should always skip that file), and by skipping it, your storage size will remain properly reported.

Anybody having Issues with TWRP Backups?

With this and the stock images from Google, every time so far that I got to a place that I was going to do a TWRP backup, after I do the backup and restart into android... I get the "optimizing apps xxx of xxx" for every app on the phone. When that completes, it then doesn't even get to the "Starting Apps" dialogue box.... it just restarts with the swirling dots then wants to do the optimizing apps thing again...

Now it might be because of something I am changing that isn't compatible (I change the DPI settings, color temp, etc.) but I have yet to fully put my finger on the issue... any thoughts about what normally causes a bootloop with "optimizing apps"? Didn't happen with 5.0.1.... I have tried to clear Dalvik and the cache too and it does not help.... the only way I can get to fix is by re-flashing stock again. :confused:

So I assume the process of doing this since I'm getting my replacement is of course turn on do initial setup. check fastboot oem unlock in developer options. reboot into bootloader do fastboot oem unlocked then let it boot back in then after that is all done do I go back to bootloader and do those steps and after that should I be all set to go?
[Nexus 6  General] teddyearp:
Actually found out I made a n00b mistake and forgot to remove the space.
[Nexus 6  General] mahst68:
yep....

Bootloader unlock is kinda of assumed since it won't let you flash unless it has been oem unlocked.... Unless you really need the security, I would recommend keep bootloader unlocked as people have been dealing with bricked phones by locking the bootloader backup to try to use the new security features.... this build for verizon is pretty stable, but like any new release, the bugs seemed to eventually come out of the woodwork as more people upgrade or get OTA.
