No. I was already on the new bootloader. Worked just fine. Remember, this OTA updates the bootloader to work in conjunction with the new device security features in 5.1

You just can't downgrade the new bootloader. But if its already updated , it simply installs the new bootloader again. Which is allowed.
[Nexus 6  General] i1togofast:
Using this method, you will not have to reboot your phone while 5.0.1 is installed.. So you shouldn't have any issues.. I came from LMY47E.. Just booted LMY47M now
[Nexus 6  General] Qdhcjv:
Also make sure "allow OEM unlock" is enabled in settings once you flash this in case you plan on relocking the bootloader. It will cause a hard brick if it isn't checked off and you relock!

Something like like just keep pushing vol up and power in different combinations and you'll get in.

Been like that since the first Android phone.

First try to unplug your cable then plug it back in, usually that fixes it. If it doesn't check Device Manager and reload ADB drivers.
[Nexus 6  General] electronixgimp:
Finally have 47m after lots of manual flashing but anyways do we stay unrooted and lock boot loader or what
[Nexus 6  General] nxt:
Don't lock your bootloader until after you boot up and make sure things are working or you might lock yourself out according to the threads here. I'm not sure. I leave mine unlocked, so I can't guarantee your safety if you relock.

As for rooting, just root like normal, works fine. Personally I load TWRP, boot into TWRP, then just reboot and let it install SuperUser by itself.

I also use Franco Kernel app FKUpdater with his Kernel with no issues.
[Nexus 6  General] electronixgimp:
OK so how you doing a backup with nrt back up then unlock and root cause it won't let you back up if you choose any build and if you go to e or d not sure if it will work

U really shouldn't say this because those devs that make those toolkits put a lot of effort into those and many people use those when they first start playing with their phones. They are very useful to someone who is new. And no I'm not being rude.

But when time is not available i will use this tool kit to save me alot of time. i do have a life outside of android..family,work kids.. so you shouldnt down on this tool it helps alot of folks that cant sit in front of a computer 20 hours out of a day.

[Nexus 6  General] eggydrums:
Someone help. I followed the steps, my phone booted, since I flashed the normal boot.img in the factory image, my device went through the process of being encrypted, after it finished, it rebooted, and it stayed there. I tried re-flashing the full image using Wugfresh's toolkit, but the device is still stuck in the boot animation.

Edit: I flashed the D build, I guess I'll just stay on that one though now I have to figure out how to unencrypt xD
[Nexus 6  General] badpanda:
Hi Scott, I got a question for you... I would appreciate it a lot if you can answer it. Is it not possible to downgrade bootloaders from bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.08 back to bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.05?

Thank you!!

You know I tried to downgrade from E to C and boot up also, and it didn't work for me, I didn't factory reset because I didn't want to lose anything either.

I flashed back D/E and it works. Or go and flash M for the latest
[Nexus 6  General] sparks305:
Wow this happened to me, kinda of upset that it formatted everything but not the end of the world. After I side loaded the OTA phone rebooted and got everything working great! After since I knew everything was working fine decided to re lock bootloader to increase security in the event phone was stolen so now one could just wipe/flash and use. Unfortunately, after re locking boot loader phone rebooted and sat at the green android with blue gear spinning inside screen for a long time, I freaked out and though I bricked it somehow. After multiple attempts to get back into recovery (which failed) I knew I was screwed and decided to get on chat with Motorola support to start the service repair ticket. After chatting online with them for a while my phone decided to precede to boot normally (colored dots moving all over) and arrived at the setup screen. I was thrilled once I see that! Needless to say I have no idea what exactly happened but I assume after re locking the bootloader the phone have to update settings (green android with blue gear spinning screen) which took at least 5 minutes before the phone decided to boot normally. For those who this might have happened to, just leave the phone alone for like 10 minutes to let it do its business. Hope this helps others.

Is it normal not to have gotten a Auto update message yet from T-Mobile .. I really don't want to side load the new update ... ????
[Nexus 6  General] mgerbasio:
With Android, there is no normal. This roll-out is taking much longer than prior updates and doesn't fit the generic roll-out schedule outlined by Google. Within a week they should have delivered the update to 50% of the devices. The delays are causing frustration resulting in many users installing it manually; I'm holding out for the OTA distribution too. For what its worth, on various web sites and forums, it seems very few people posting have received the update from t-mobile and AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] GPS3:
I ended up going to a clean/wipe 5.0.1 (LRX22C) install :eek:. After having issues with ADB drivers last night, I gave up and went to bed. This morning Android prompted me with an OTA system update! 5.1 (LMY47M) now installed. I didn't think it would take with an unlocked bootloader, but it did. :victory:
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
so can anyone positively tell me that LMY47M is better than LMY47D or is there any difference at all? also if im already on LMY47D do i need to downgrade bootloader or just the system.img, boot.img and recovery.img? will i still get ota prompt if i dont downgrade the bootloader? thanks

whats your take on LMY47M? are there any differences from LMY47D?
[Nexus 6  General] smclaughlin3:
ill make a small contribution to your question by saying after successfully sideloading the lmy47m update i can now make 611 calls with lte on, i could not do this with e or d build if this adds perspective

[Nexus 6  General] smclaughlin3:

[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
im on LMY47D how did you revert back to LRX22C succesfully? did you downgrade the bootloader? or just the system.img and boot and recovery? what about radio? can i revert to LRX22C without downgrading the bootloader?

dunno man, try doing a factory reset or maybe reboot your phone. power off then power on. i say factory reset cause youre rooted and maybe root is preventing you from updating im not sure. but try powering off then power on and see if you get the update again

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

think ill pass on the toolkit thing. i never liked them. plus i read on there that you cant downgrade bootloader as well so its kinda the same thing here. id rather fastboot flash images but im concerned about the bootloader. my question is do i need to downgade bootloader to revert back to LRX22C or can i keep the 08 bootloader? can i flash LRX22C and boot system and wait for ota to 5.1?

I need advice if someone can answer? Sorry if this has been asked but this thread has gotten fairly confusing as to what's right and wrong? I've full wipe fastboot flashed bother E and I builds direct Fromm google site. Both have given me a terrible clicking sound on calls with other n6 owners. Before I try to figure out if I need my phone replaced I want to try M build since my phone is from T-Mobile. I read everywhere that boot loader can not be downgraded? How am I supposed to downgrade to C 5.0.1 and then sideload ota M build without bricking my phone? I don't care if I have to full wipe or not and no intention on relocking my boot loader. Is the trick to not ever boot the C build and do all this from fastboot/stock recovery? Anyone who can clarify this method would help me greatly. :confused:

[Nexus 6  General] nxt:
The bootloader version for D, E, M, and I are all the same.

Bootloader for 5.0.1 C release is older.

You do NOT need to downgrade to 5.0.1 bootloader (since you can't anyways).

Follow my directions in the FIRST post to downgrade D/E/I down to 5.0.1 C then sideload M.

Since you do NOT care about wiping or not, just run the .bat file from the 5.0.1 C image file, it does it all for you.
[Nexus 6  General] rockinroyle:
Thanks this cleared up my confusion. I don't believe I can run the .bat file being on Linux but I will fastboot all .IMG files manually minus the bootloader to achieve the same result. Thanks again!

unplug your phone and plug it again, try to sideload again. If it doesn't work go to device manager and find Android ADB then click on it, and hit update driver software. Then, click browse my computer and at the bottom click on let me pick from a list...

then try another driver and hit next. Then try to sideload again. Keep trying. I guide myself with a video on youtube "Manually Install Official Android 5.1 Lollipop On Nexus Devices" from Qbking77. He explains it well.

[About XDA developers] Kazama Levi:
Previously, you could login easily by entering your name and password right away in the bar at the very top. That was very convenient.

However, obviously this was considered too easy and convenient by some, so this was changed to make it more complicated and longwinded. A few days ago, an extra "Login" button was added to the top bar. To login, you're now forced to click on this stupid login button, and only then you can enter your login details.

What's more, now this login button is broken. Clicking it doesn't do anything anymore, it only redirects you to the main page. To login and write this post, I had to click on the "New Thread" button in this "About" forum and then use the login link in the upcoming message. That finally worked.

Please restore the previous convenient login modality, where you can login by entering name and password right in the top bar. The new way, being forced to click the stupid Login button first, is a real hassle and is starting to grate on my nerves :mad:

I took a look at the other themes - all of them (2013, 2010 and Classic) still have the name and password fields at the very top, as it should be. It has only been stupidly removed in the 2015 themes to make logging in a pain in the a$$.

There may be things that need refined but there was a reason that the extra step was put in place. Unfortunately a significant number of users were confusing the Log In and G+ Sign In buttons. Several users were entering their username and password then clicking the G+ Sign In button instead of the Log In Arrow that's part of the password box. This then caused them to get auto generated questions about associating their account with Google and confusion followed. We were having to deal with several users per day getting confused or unable to sign in under the previous system.

So if the pop up log in bar is no longer appearing for you, you need to give as much info as possible for us to replicate the problem. What browser are you using, have you tried turning off add-ins, does it do it on other browsers etc.
