That's according to one screen shot that we have seen. I'm not buying that it was real. The guy would not capture the OTA and upload it because he wanted to stay stock. Which is fine all he has to do was root, upload the ota and then unroot, everyone on here knows there is no harm to the device in doing so. But I don't see an older radio being used in a newer build. 98 is just a revised 95, so if there is an issue with 98 and the bad code was reverted it would not be named 95, it would go forward, 99+.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Or just send yourself a bug report and the URL would be in the text file. No root required.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
In any case I just flashed E now to wait for factory image or ota
[Nexus 6  General] YankInDaSouth:
You continue to attack my credibility simply because I did not capture the OTA??! Not like I have to explain myself to you - but I was at work when I got prompted for the OTA. It was 9:30AM and I wasn't about to wait several hours so I could "simply root" and grab the OTA! I assumed that it was being pushed out and that by the time I got home the OTA.zip would have already been uploaded.

Don't continue to call me a lair because T-Mo opted to use an older radio ... I suppose I photo shopped the notification pic I posted yesterday too [emoji19]

The E radio sucks for me. The D radio was much better. I'm trying to wait for M factory images as I don't really want to go back to D.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
very interesting comment. what sucks about it? i find E to be amazeballs myself. best speed/signal strength i've ever had, across any phone. i'm in metro nyc btw...
[Nexus 6  General] Pecata:
I also have a better signal with the E radio, however ever since upgrading to 5.1 with VoLTE enabled on Tmobile if I have a weak LTE signal sometimes when I dial a number the dialer hangs and it just says dialing, if I attempt to hang up it gets stuck on Hanging up and it does nothing. I can't dial or hang up and it says there is a call in progress but there isn't one and the only option is to reboot my phone. This is extremely annoying. I have turned off the VoLTE since then. When I have a good LTE signal it works great but this is a major issues for me...
[Nexus 6  General] Buff McBigstuff:
I'm getting half the speed I had and it randomly drops the data connection. I only notice the data dropping out when I'm streaming audio or using an app that constantly loads data like a social networking app as I scroll down my feed. Sometimes it works flawlessly for an hour. Sometimes it drops every 30 seconds.
[Nexus 6  General] Oniska:
And I'm just sitting here waiting for the OTA :(
[Nexus 6  General] ptesmoke:
is there a flashable zip anywhere of the E radio? 98R I think?
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
That radio was included with the D release located here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-modem-collection-t2969380
[Nexus 6  General] Xplicit84:
The radio in "E" is updated to what is in the "D" image.
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
The page I linked shows the D release having the .98R radio, just like E, which I have installed.

If you really want the image from the source, download https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-lmy47e-factory-cf313164.tgz and unzip.

When I was on "D", before upgrading to "E" earlier today, this was the radio I had...

Not my picture, but it shows the version of radio at least.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Did that to me on D when I first flashed it....hasn't since
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
Yeah, but the link I sent earlier shows the .98 in the D release. I am agreeing with you, just the other page must have incorrect info.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Yes, the xda thread for radios has a typo in the build number for .98 radio. It should read LMY47E (and not LMY47D)

I'd lean towards Android Police being slightly wrong. Google has it on their page as the latest factory image for the Nexus 6, not the Verizon Nexus 6 but the Nexus 6 (as there is no Verizon Nexus 6...or AT&T Nexus 6 or T-Mobile Nexus 6, etc...).
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Didn't even change to 5.1.1. Seems weird there are changes to the system and radio yet the version stayed the same.

Does "Allow OEM unlock" remain checked now when you reboot?
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
It did change. The build number is E.... Which is different. There can also be different revisions for the same builds. Not sure what constitutes a point change. But I'll take newer
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Agreed. Also, android central listed a few changes here or as they say "(We're seeing changes in binary files relating to the text-to-speech engine, NFC and sensors.) among the new radio"

[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
Thinking about flashing this since I'm using my phone on Verizon, but I've already hit the stupid play music deactivation limit.

To anyone that has flashed this, do you have the 64GB version of the N6? If this is the "Verizon" variant I'm curious if it only recognizes 32GB since that's all they sell.
[Nexus 6  General] Jweimn:
I'll just wait for the ota file to be posted unless it's already out there?
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
I put this on my att Nexus 6. No problems, no noticeable difference
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
Check a few of the question threads, this has been seen a few times.... you can factory reset but I think there is another way.... not 100% sure... you should see something closer to 64 though....
[Nexus 6  General] Tersanyus:
I flashed this system image to my AT&T N6 successfully as I was tired of waiting for the 5.1 OTA to come. Could not use the "flash-all" batch command, instead did it one line at a time using the steps outlined in this forum. I relocked my bootloader and no plans at this time to root.

All seems fine for now. The N6 is reloading apps currently.
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
Just curious how or why are you at the music deactivation limit? You don't need to deactivate to update.

What are you talking about? I went from 5.0.1 to 5.1 D to 5.1 E and Music only shows my 1 phone.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Yes

Edit: I take it back. It only remains checked after reboot until you have to enter pass code at lock screen after shutting screen off.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
When you went from 5.1D to 5.1E, you wiped your phone and installed fresh, right?
[Nexus 6  General] knitler:
I've wiped this thing many times and I only have 1 phone showing up in the Music app.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
If you look at the comments on the thread (here), he says that "E" still brought duplicate texts so it doesn't seem to solve any issue.

My sister just now got the 5.1 OTA for N5 and the build is LMY47D. We have T-Mobile. If LMY47E was being pushed, LMY47D would be halted because there'd be no point in sending users "D" if "E" was already out and ready (which it is already been sent as OTA to many). This seems more and more suspicious that E is just extra radio and system changes for Verizon.

If you bought the phone with Verizon branding, there's no way you'll get "D" OTA. Verizon is tugging google again and forcing them to make carrier specific changes I bet.

Any phone purchased from the GPS can have D or E, same for any phone purchased from Verizon (given that you know how to flash an image). The majority of those who buy from Verizon probably just got E and have no idea that there was even a D version that's compatible.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
I noticed that on 47E awesome player is deprecated but still with the option of using it. I don't remember what it said on D. Interesting
[Nexus 6  General] tbird302:
It showed one more last night
[Nexus 6  General] aergern:
It's not a "Verizon variant" It's 5.1 with fixes. It happens. I know that I now get 22mb/14mb in my home office and in my bathroom which were almost deadzones for LTE .. N6 would drop to HSPA+ or just have a single bar of LTE and I could get maybe 5mb/2mb in these two rooms in my house prior to this radio so at least the radio update is warranted. The other changes are listed in several places. The only Verizon thing about 5.1 is the bit of bloat they got added to the stock image. It's no different then the SprintDM app that has been on the N6 since I got it in November. It's an update .. anyone who has had a Nexus knows Google does this type of thing.

Really, flash it or don't. My increase in speed in previous deadish zones which I did test before and after do satisfy me that the 10 minutes it took me to flash the radio, boot and system imgs was time well spent.

Cheers. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
So I just need to flash each of the IMG manually except the userdata.IMG to update without wiping right?
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
see post 17 here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/factory-5-1-image-posted-t3057384/page2#post59508612 that is what I followed and yes made a huge difference on both lte and wifi..... was getting crap numbers on 47D but 47E is a keeper...... bootloader needs to be unlocked first which if you havent done it... well ya may wanna backup your pics, music message and anything else before you do it cause it wipes everything.. but definately the way to go got almost 30 up and down on lte and almost 44 down on wifi.....

Once you unlock the bootloader..... you have to reboot so it can erase all the stuff and then set usb debugging again so you can connect to do the flashing stuff....

edit edit..... leave bootloader unlocked when done...... some ppl got into brick mode relocking or at least reboot the system and let it run for a bit before you try it.....
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
You might `fastboot erase cache` and then `flash cache cache.img` at the end.

Flash bootloader, radio, system and boot img` s.

huh I just did this....

Rebooted to bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash cache cache.img (maybe not necessary for such a minor update)

fastboot reboot

didnt flash the bootloader should I have?

thank you! kernels are the same meaning i can keep my un-encryption with the original 5.1 "disable forced encryption"
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
You may try that, there maybe some deep under the hood changes though. Maybe its best to wait for the hacked 47E boot. Will be posted today i guess if there are indeed changes to the kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Xplicit84:
Definitely looks promising. Looks like I'll be updating my phone at work tomorrow then. The joys of flashing images :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
According to [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] the kernels of 47D/E are most likely identical so you can use the decrypted 47D boot.img :)

you could just flash this http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-force-encryption-rom-kernel-t3000788 in recovery after flashing new boot img i checked md5 sums from D boot images compared to E they did not match.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
That's all I need to do to be updated?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Yup, flash bootloader and radio and fastboot reboot-bootloader and then flash flash system and boot (or a de-crypted kernel/boot) and erase and flash cache.

No need - the bootloader didn't change between 'D' and 'E'
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
So then can you please explain why LMY47D is being sent OTA still and why LMY47E has not hit ANY T-Mobile devices OTA? Why is it that only Verizon customers have gotten the LMY47E update? If it's a radio fix, it would apply to Nexus 5 as well which in that case should be receiving LMY47E but as I stated, my sisters phone today just got LMY47_D_.

I want to believe you because it would be the right thing to do for Google by improving the all the issues LMY47D introduced. However, the suspicious things I mentioned above don't make sense....yet.

EDIT: It's very rare that radio updates improve speed, especially to the numbers your providing. It's possible that you're on a new band by your carrier or many other reasons for that. Just citing speed improvements as your argument for LMY47E being an actual update to LMY47D is not enough given the many other questions being circulated about 5.1.
[Nexus 6  General] tcrews:
If you go to the Google Developers page ( https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images ) you'll see that there is no "E" for the Nexus 5 so it shouldn't be getting that. On the Nexus 6 however, there is an "E". The OTA for "D" just started so it will be a while before "E" starts as it will have to update LMY47D to LMY47E and update LRX22C to LMY47E.

There is no Verizon variant OS for the Nexus 6. Scroll down the developers page until you get to the Galaxy Nexus. You'll see GSM versions, a Verizon version and a Sprint version, all separated from each other. Scroll back up to the Nexus 6 version....you'll see one version for all US Nexus 6's...LMY47E. The latest, most current OS for the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Yup, I had the same thing happen. My solution was to rename hangouts.
[Nexus 6  General] mgerbasio:
Yea, very disappointing that Verizon, the worst (of the four US carriers) friend of open platforms and the Nexus line, is seeing all the attention from Google. I see our loyalty to the hardware brand over the carrier paid off. There was a thread to a web site saying T-Mobile would be seeing an upgrade this week with VoLTE and Band 12 but it seems like that was an upgrade to 5.1; I thought this was already in 5.1. And still, no wifi calling. Generally, I don't care waiting but I have bluetooth problems with this phone that I'm hoping this upgrade fixes so I'm impatient now.
[Nexus 6  General] roriii:
Agree , i am on Videotron and they use same frequency as T-mobile , when i did flash the LMY47D my 3G was terrible i could not download anything the radio on Videotron was terrible . even i could not find my location , factory reset was done with the same issue , when i flashed LMY47E all worked fine for me and now i can find my location and my speed on 3g went from 2 To 25 and upload to 4 . my plan will not give me access to LTE so i cannot do any test on LTE .

thanks
[Nexus 6  General] casonswag:
Thats what i did
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Now if only there were an OTA to capture so I could sideload it... This is the first time in my history of using Android phones (since the HTC Hero) that I haven't been compelled to root/unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
For starters, see my secondary post above (post #63)....

If you knew Google well enough, you'd know that going to the developers page is not a good enough indication to figure out what the new update means or not. I've seen insanely weird **** go down in the years I've been using Nexus (see my signature). I've seen every version and OTA of Android since the G1 era. The developers page is not enough proof to say LMY47E is an update to "D". Galaxy Nexus I believe was more separated in the past because there was ACTUALLY a Verizon variant. Nexus 6 doesn't have a Verizon variant. People bought the Nexus 6 day #1 and sticked in a Verizon SIM and everything worked as is just fine. Now that Verizon started selling them, they branded the phone and stuck some bloatware apps.

If LMY47E was an update to D, it would have "D" changes merged into it which means people can go straight to "E" without needing to get "D". This happened in the past with Nexus 4. An update came out with major problems, Google STOPPED the OTA immediately and pushed a completely newer one instead.

If LMY47D was problematic, there wouldn't be an OTA at all anymore. Google can easily pull OTA's from the cloud and stop devices from receiving it.
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
It's the Verizon image. Won't do you any good if you aren't on Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] aergern:
You can do what you like but LTE connectivity, Bluetooth and other functions of the radio being better is the reason .. the proper upload speeds and stabilty of the connection is absolutely a reason for updating .. .other wise the thing is a paper weight. :)

It's all good. I'm just saying that a few fixes were worth the 10 minutes it took to boot and flash the .img files.

:good:

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

I could CARE less that VZW waited until Google had 5.1 fairly ready in order to release their N6. It's not something to lose sleep or braincells over.

As far as special attention .. 5.1 and the E release was a bug fix .. i doubt there was a grand conspiracy at all.
[Nexus 6  General] situman:
Odd tried the fastboot method and the radio and bootloader and boot got updated. The system says it was missing stuff. So long story short, I'm still on D but with updated radio. Odd.
[Nexus 6  General] aergern:
Wrong, wrong and oh .. WRONG. It had updated radios which control the connection to any carrier. It had updated files in the system that had nothing to do with Verizon. Not to be too cheeky but there are at least 10 sites that list the changes... GTMF and stop just giving your opinion because others read this and don't know what you are saying is false.
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
Then let me know if any other non Verizon device received this OTA. If it were a bug fix for 5.1, then it would be 5.11 or some silly number. Funny, I sideloaded the first 5.1 update, and it didn't install Verizon software. The second update file installs two Verizon apps. People just want anything that is shiny and new, I never said the E version won't work, it just won't be any better than D.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
I don`t agree with you, my network and wifi reception are much better now and overall the phone is faster and snappier for me and other users. 47E is more responsive and faster then 47D. I live in Europe, Netherlands so its clear that i`am no Verizon customer ;)
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
Too many variables to assume it is better.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
The only constant is that you`re wrong :) Google doesn`t post specific provider roms on their dev site, they are for all Nexus 6 devices.
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
LMY47E shipped with all Verizon Nexus 6 out of box. This was shipped before the LMY47D OTA even hit. Both images were made on the same day, February 16th. I'm just glad to have the Verizon apps this image installed and I am also glad everyone is happy with the latest and greatest!
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
EXACTLY. Why hasn't LMY47E been sent to non-verizon phones then?? jeesus man, kids in here just think that they see a new version, it's automatically ok to flash it and say it's better. There's absolutely no proof behind you getting better connetivity that makes the "E" version O.K to flash.

If E was the current version for ALL nexus devices then ALL nexus devices regardless of the carrier would receive LMY47E over the air !

Uhh you are ABSOLUTELY wrong, you're telling me you don't see provider specific roms? Lol you are just talking for no reason without even looking at the site. I took a screenshot for you to help with your stupid logic.
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
smart man right there :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
I am in Canada running 47E and definitely agree with gee, overall much better as for these mystery Verizon apps, I disabled the vzwapn and com.verizon.permissions.appdirectsms 47D had SprintDM which you can't disable without root..... shrug... it's better don't knock it till you've tried it.... or continue to argue the sky is orange.....

There is my proof right there. And we'll all be the better once the very next version is out to fix these bugs
