Because back then we didn't have hardware that was capable of serving CDMA/GSM inside the SAME phone.!!!!

Jeesus people. Does anyone else not realize that the Nexus 6 is a universal phone and can be used on ANY carrier whether you bought it from the AT&T , Google PLay Store, or Verizon store??? Galaxy Nexus had MULTIPLE HARDWARE versions. You either bought the GSM version, or you bought the CDMA (Verizon) version!

Google promised they were going to stop giving into carriers like Verizon and install bloatware or be forced to have software changes (i.e Google Wallet massacre with Verizon back in the day).

Google caved in to Verizons demands this time again. There's bloatware and custom radio changes to enable VoLTE for Verizon.

EDIT: To better clearly answer your question, the Nexus 6 doesn't need a CDMA category like the Galaxy Nexus has. Any image you flash in the Nexus 6 category will work on a Verizon phone. The point is that 5.1 introduced VoLTE and CDMA versus GSM have different radio configurations for VoLTE so the question rises, is LMY47E strictly for Verizon or is it compatible with T-Mobile as well? Maybe LMY47E has LMY47D changes inside as well and it's universal to work on both and not hurt any phone. We don't know ANY of this because Google hasn't spoke, neither have the carriers!

Looks like t-mobile is getting it's own build

[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
It would be nice if it enabled wifi-calling but it will likely just be a 5.1 biuld to auto-install T-mobile bloat.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Does not include WiFi calling, [MENTION=4504155]askd[/MENTION]es reconfirmed it won't include it.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

So looks like LMY47D and LMY47E are not official T-Mobile builds!

https://twitter.com/askdes/status/578297712044429314
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Is it that much better? I am on Rogers running 47D and very happy with it. In your honest assessment, would you recommend 47E over 47D?

Does 47E do away with SprintDM or is it still there?
[Nexus 6  General] tbird302:
Not surprised just wish google would have separated it like the galaxy nexus line. So what google posted was play store,carrier agnostic version

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

47d

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Did sprint get ota yet

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Better question is what carrier pushed 47d
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Yup, pretty much 47D and E are agnostic carrier versions it seems. Doesn't look like 47M will be posted as a FULL build. It will just be an OTA from TMo. The thing is 47M could definitely have tweaks to the radio, system or anything else in which case you DONT want to miss this if you have TMo cus the adjustments could be carrier specific to their network!
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
So basically doesn't this mean:

D = Sprint build

E = Verizon build

M = T-Mobile build

I'm really confused now on which build I should put on my N6.
[Nexus 6  General] tbird302:
Does anyone know if nexus 6 supports Carrier aggregation for bands 2/4 that would be cause for tweaked radio

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Like sprints radio probably supports spark. Verizon's supports xlte....etc...

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Most likely

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

So if att build is "o" Google just released a D.E.M.O........:)
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
That really sucks. This morning I flashed the D build to my girlfriends Nexus 6 as she wanted the update that I had. Both of us are using the phones on Verizon, and she won't like having to reset her phone to update.

Because now this opens an entirely new can of worms. If these builds are split, how is Google going to determine which OTA you get when they are released? Being that my phone is now on the D build, am I confined to Sprint OTAs only?
[Nexus 6  General] tbird302:
No probably based on SKU.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

But you should probably go back to 5.0.1 because ota will go from 5.0.1->5.1
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
What do you mean? Why should I go back? Our Nexus 6's were purchased from Motorola.
[Nexus 6  General] tbird302:
You don't have to you could just flash tmo version

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Oh
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
No. It does NOT mean that.

If certain builds were/are meant for a certain carrier or region, then Google would state that. Just look at the Nexus 5. There was a build that was released on their Developer site which was specific to certain carriers/regions (Build KTU84Q). At that time, all other Nexus 5 were running KTU84P. This "Q" release did have an updated radio over the "P" build. However, Google did state that on their site that it was meant for a certain carrier and/or region (see attachment).

That being said, the latest Nexus 6 build (at this point in time) is the 47E, regardless of carrier or country/region.

Just because Verizon's Nexus 6 came with 47E does not mean that the 47E build is a Verizon custom build.

On a side note, Google just pushed out 5.1 to the Canadian Nexus 6 devices. Not sure if it is 47D or 47E but I will confirm once I get word of it.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
But then doesn't it make zero sense for yet ANOTHER 5.1 build to be coming to TMO as 47M?

What I'm wondering is if Google is pushing OTA updates based on the SIM. So Sprint phones were getting 47D. Verizon won't have an OTA, because it shipped with 47E. Tmobile is getting 47M based on SIM.
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
In my case, my wifi doubled it's speed and lte was almost at 30 mb/s which is almost double what I got on 47D. So for me it was worth the unlock boot loader and updating my data.... I'm on Telus btw, if you are getting these kind of numbers or better then it might not be worth while for you.... it seems to run a bit smoother too or that could be placebo... haven't done any benchmark tests... may be tonight
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Link to one of these sites?

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

So tmobile gets an M build? Hopefully they release the factory image soon
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
He's talking outta his ass. The changes have not been fully compared. The only confirmation has been binary file changes, radio, and bloatware. No one knows for sure if D, E, or M are carrier specific besides today's findings that M is for T-Mobile. D and E could be the same as M but who knows until google comments or the M image is released.
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Really tempted in wiping my device and installing 47E from scratch. Is the SprintDM still there in 47E?
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Ill flash the M image for sure
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Same here but TMo rep says M is being pushed OTA today so hoping that the images go up soon
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
The only thing that's making me think LMY47D is the "General" build is that that is the same build name for the Nexus 5, 7 and 10.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Perhaps tomorrow morning or friday morning. Factory images anyway
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Where was it posted that the T-Mo "M" release would be pushed OTA today? I only see it mentioned that it would be "M" but no talk on when it will be released.
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
The VZW apps were not part of the package. They were pulled when your device was provisioned with a VZW SIM during your initial setup. The E build has several differing files and a newer radio.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
https://twitter.com/askdes/status/578294515745693696
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
I don't doubt your results...however there are so many factors involved that you can't say the speed increase is due to the upgrade.

Location, signal, network load, etc. all are likely far more significant factors than which of the two very similar firmware versions you tried it on.

So many people upgrade to official builds, ROM updates, etc. and within hours make claims about performance, battery life, etc. that really have no value without extensive testing.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
It's still there, don't bother D is fine.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
Let's ask this. Does anyone have a motorola/play store nexus NOT on sprint that received an OTA to 47D? If not that could prove google is pushing updates based on the Sim installed.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Apparently someone was able to pull the OTA I found it in another OTA Reference thread in nexus 6 general category.

Here is the OTA: http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-shamu-ota-LMY47D-from-LRX22C-fullradio.zip
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Apparently, Motorola Canada confirmed today that 5.1 is being pushed to all Nexus 6 devices in Canada. Build 47D to be exact.
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
I installed D and it didn't download the apps. I've had my phone for 2 months and never once did I ever see a Verizon app hit my phone. E has something to do with Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] Adam80:
I'm not sure this is helpful at all, but I have an N6 purchased from Motorola on Verizon. I updated the radios and system from D to E. No Verizon bloatware was installed, but in multiple tests before and after, LTE speeds are more than double in tests at the same locations and times of day on E vs D. Signal strength also improved in most locations and VoLTE calls are much less choppy.
[Nexus 6  General] Xplicit84:
So you did a partial install of the factory images?
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
for the people on the fence, just flash E, I'm on at&t and I'm noticing LTE and GPS locking faster than on D, the image is on google official site for ALL Nexus 6 devices(in the whole wide world) phone is not gonna catch fire, fire up fastboot and just do it, this is why we nexus ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
I am on Sprint with 47E installed and running fine. If a 47M or anything else gets released I will install that too. Not because of any negligable performance gain (which is most likely placebo), but because I own a Nexus and I can/want to.

All of the carrier specific stuff is not bloatware. It is merely just apps and libs to make the device compatible with every carrier, this is the price we pay for having a truly multi carrier device. To me bloatware is stuff like Sprint Zone, Sprint VVM, Sprint TV, etc...
[Nexus 6  General] Adam80:
Yes, just partial.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Waiting for M
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
The insanity will be when everyone starts flashing M, thinking it is the end-all/know-all to 5.1 smh

The different versions of 5.1 are all carrier specific.
[Nexus 6  General] Xplicit84:
Did you update to "E" using the using the decrypted boot image from "D"?
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
I will freak out if they try and bork Google Wallet for soft card
[Nexus 6  General] GMoGoody:
I am on Verizon so I installed E without flashing user data. I have had my N6 since December. Since I was already activated and provisioned I did not receive any Verizon apps. The signal on E though is a lot better for me.
[Nexus 6  General] mwalt2:
Google bought softcard.
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
I was not aware of this. That is good to know
[Nexus 6  General] Kendaihou:
Can confirm, I got the 47 D yesterday. I have way better signal now than when I was on 5.0.1. Ambient display is acting kinda weird but it might just be me. I can't say much about the batter yet, often times I think it's draining to fast and other times I think it's draining to slow. Only had it for a day so I can't really tell. Seems like they fixed the RAM management and leaks.

Only thing I noticed there's an app or might be a process called Backup which I'm not aware off. No idea what that does.

Other than everything is working fine I think.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
It's a Verizon cloud backup app.
[Nexus 6  General] Levenly:
On T-Mobile.

Flashed the factory D and did a full wipe on my N6. Performance was definitely quicker, but cell reception became an issue. Sometimes my LTE signal would cut to no signal with an "!". I live in Arlington, VA, right outside Washington D.C. Also, SMS connectivity with the Enhanced LTE option on would cease. Bluetooth was also spotty as calls over Bluetooth would immediately switch to the earpiece versus over the Bluetooth speaker. Outside of that, the phone worked pretty speedy.

Yesterday, I flashed everything in 5.1 E except the cache and user img, noticed better cell reception (like -74db vs -90+ in the same areas) . Bluetooth issues seemed resolved and the LTE enhanced mode seemed to not affect SMS, and HD calling looks like it works well.

All in all, I don't know what the update really does, but that is my impression thus far.
[Nexus 6  General] Kendaihou:
Oh......

Should I be worried at all LOL?....

We dont have Verizon here in Canada.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Worried? Doubt it.

Unfortunately, it's included in lmy47d and e for everyone.
[Nexus 6  General] Kurosagi70:
Anyone using GSM having problem after flashing this img?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
No problem here, on AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] Kurosagi70:
Great! Will flash it tonight then :)
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
I'm currently on lmy47d, and can't decide if its worth wiping my device to unlock and move to 47e as I'm on Verizon. 47e doesn't lock you to a Verizon tree or something right? Can always flash back or flash to a new update
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
No its not. Also there's not much difference so dont go wiping just for a letter upgrade. And it doesnt lock you to verizon, Im on the E build and im on Sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I agree with your assessment. I flashed from D to E. No difference in anything, on AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
im on sprint and flashed E over D. I don't know if its a tower in my area or version E messed up my signal. Half the times of me being at home I didn't have any reception at all, and the time I did, my data was on 3g instead of LTE.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Most likely the newer radio
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
True, but I'm on Verizon and I'm wondering if the new radio stuff really does take advantage of Verizon only towers.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
It would appear that you have nothing to loose by flashing it.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
Couple of questions before I flash 47E.

Does unlocking the bootloader void my warrenty/moto care?

To relock the bootloader (doing it for security reasons), I need to make sure the phone boots, go into developers opens and check the OEM unlock button, and then do the fastboot oem lock command right?

Does relocking wipe the device on the Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Installed the full 47E firmware from scratch (full wipe) and I am getting better reception here in Canada. Running on the Rogers network. Signal seems to be more stable for me here.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Unlocking bootloader does not void your warranty.

Relocking bootloader will wipe your device on N6.

You should not relock your bootloader if on 5.1. +99% probability that you will brick your device.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
You can relock if you want. Just make sure you're on a working rom before doing so. Or for safety flash a custom recovery before you lock so you can flash a rom even with a locked bootloader if something goes wrong.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Also DO NOT try to flash older bootloader when on the 5.1 bootloader. It will brick.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Someone on /r/nexus6 subreddit just got the T-Mobile 5.1 update, it confirms LMY47M but the radio seems to be the same as LMY47D!!

LMY47D Radio Version Number: MDM9625_104446.01.02.95R (Source)
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
Well I just flashed 47E from 47D, Motorola store bought 64GB Nexus, using on Verizon.

If for some reason when the next OTA hits (5.1.1 or 5.2, whatever), and this "Verizon" build doesn't get that update, I can always flash back to 47D right? There aren't any issues flashing "backwards" with nexus devices?
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Or you can just flash the next versions factory images without wiping
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
I relocked without any issues. I was smart about it and make sure the OS actually booted before running the command.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
If you would post your setup (ie version, root, recovery), before, and the exact steps you took, I think you could save the bacon of a lot of users....
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
WHY ON EARTH are you guys flashing D or E when clearly LMY47M is for TMo customers? Go back to 5.0.1 and wait for the OTA link. It will be posted today because TMo people are already getting LMY47M OTA.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
Because I'm using my Nexus 6 on Verizon?

I flashed the 47E files like normal, did method 2 for the long way (flash all script failed). Then I let the phone boot, skipped the setup, enabled developer options and checked the "allow OEM unlock".

The I booted back into bootloader mode and ran fastboot oem lock. Setting phone back up now.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
We're not all on TMO....
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Calm down guy. No one know the true reasoning for these ota's. Also i flashed the first ota with no issue and the factory image for "E". If google adds it to their factory image page, its good to flash on ALL N6.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Haha yeah oops...
[Nexus 6  General] wheels00000:
Anybody else getting a system image not found I tried downloading twice already once straight from google the other in toot toolkit any ideas?

After install 5.1 I have problem with widget. After install app I can't see the widgets. Only if i restart the phone I can see widget. This is problem 5.1 ;;
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
i would disagree. there is something definitely wrong with the radio on D on att. signal strength is great, but if you run speedtests the results are waaaaay too slow. in my house on my couch i typically get ~36mbps. with D i was getting ~10mbps and was like wtf. after flashing E i'm back up to ~35-40mbps. Exact same results at my office at work. D dropped my measured speeds down to 1/3 to 1/4 of what they normally should be. Flashing E rescued me from this nonsense. so you're not going to notice signal strength improvements on E over D, but your normal speeds will be restored. That's the only thing i've noticed, but for me (and likely many others) it's significant. flash E my friends...
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
For whatever reason, we're seeing different results. I am getting about 10 Mbps on D and E. And on 5.0.1 before that.

But I would say there's no reason for anyone to avoid E. Just realize YMMV.
[Nexus 6  General] Nesmall2:
Not really sure if this is fully true, but I contacted Google Play Support. I purchased my Nexus from GPS, placed an activated Verizon sim in there. According to him, he said that all phones purchased from the GPS will receive the 5.1 update OTA. It will be in the next few weeks, and it will be SIM specific. I was considering flashing the D version, but was going to wait for the OTA E version so I don't have to wipe my phone. Oh well, I guess I will just wait
[Nexus 6  General] tylercarter:
There are no "carrier" specific builds. If there were then it wouldn't be a nexus. We can flash whatever we want. [emoji1]
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
Because Google can release versions all the way through Z and some people will flash every day until their phones burn up. There is no satisfying or reasoning with those folks.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
I don't think M is "for" T-Mobile. I think its just the build that T-Mobile decided to use for its OTA. I think its a mistake to think of the builds as purely additive (i.e. M is a replacement for E which was a replacement for D). I think it just started/completed later. (In other words, its not just laziness that drives Google to leave all of the factory images posted. They are a progression of snapshots in time, not literal replacements. Reversions in code happen all the time. So the later build may contain code for a function that is actually older than a previously released build.)
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Oh really? That's why TMo can't comment on D build right? And that's why D build only went OTA to Sprint N6 devices?

https://twitter.com/askdes/status/578671508475625473
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
D build went to more than sprint devices. It went to devices worldwide ?.
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
Whatever, it went to specific carriers clearly because not EVERYONE got it. Same way that nobody got E over the air besides Verizon SIMS.
[Nexus 6  General] tylercarter:
Please google this sh|t and learn about it. People all over the world got the "d" build. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] mortal300:
"All over the world" lol no **** because CDMA devices are not just in America. TMo Sims will not get an OTA for M if you are on D so how the hell will tmo customers on D get M genius? Oh wait that's right, you can only get D by flashing cus absolutely no one with a nexus 6 on tmobile got D because it was never sent to them! [MENTION=4504155]askd[/MENTION]es even says D is not their build its someone else's. Google gives builds to them to verify and test before allowing a push so do your research bud. I have enough sources that I dont even need to mention
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
I dont even know what your talking about now. ???
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Why did he say those on E would get the ota? Calm down.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
