[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
I know, I know - this is a noob question, guides have already been posted, etc - but information is scattered all over the place, and the internet is littered with "what worked for me" type guides, and I'm just looking for a quick response.

Here's the 2 guides I have found so far:

EDIT: It looks like i can't post outside links, but have found 2 guides. Both are on reddit, and one ends in:

/nexus6/comments/2ywu1m/guide_to_flashing_51_factory_image_without_wiping/

The other:

/nexus6/comments/3028i9/guide_how_to_update_to_51_and_keep_root/

Both of these are very different methods, it seems. My phone is unlocked, rooted, encrypted, and has 5.0.1. It would seem like the easiest thing to do would be to unroot, apply the OTA update, the re-root using CF-Auto-Root - but a forum post said that didn't work, it needs to be re-flashed.

I'm just looking for which of these methods would be best for me at this point. I want to keep root, and not lose my phone's configuration in the simplest way, preferably just using the OTA update, without re-flashing.

Thank you, and I apologize for asking a question that has already been answered. The problem is there are too many different answers, and I'm not sure which one to go with.

EDIT: I've also noticed, that if I have to re-flash, there are 3 different images for nexus 6 5.1: LMY47D, LMY47E, and LMY47I - this is the first time I've seen this when looking to flash a phone. How do I know which is the most up-to-date, and which one to go with?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just download the factory image of your choice and use fastboot to flash everything individually except userdata. You won't be wiped and all you'll have to do is re-root. Or just pick a ROM from development forums.

Follow the steps in Method 2 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2954008

As I said, flash everything except userdata. Also skip the factory reset at the end.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

LMY47I is the newest AFAIK.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Also, questions go in the Q&A forum, not in general. I've asked the mods to move it there. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Verizon phones ship with E. AT&T is currently pushing D (and Sprint). T-Mobile is pushing M.

With that said, (unless you're on TMO), I've tried D, E, and I, and I could not really see any difference. E has the 98R radio, which some users have had better results with. All of the others have the 95R radio. You will have to try both and decide which works best for you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
Well I have T-Mobile, so I'd like to stick with what they are pushing, if for no other reason than to conform to thier OTA push and their unique radio frequencies.

However, the options are "E" "D" and "I" on the Google website. However, you mentioned M. Did you mean one of the others, or is there some unique image not available on the developers.google.com website? Which one off that site would be the default for T-Mobile?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
M was issued as an OTA for T-Mobile users. That being said, [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] will confirm that LMY47I works just fine on T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
whatever carrier you are on, everything will work regardless of which letter update you chose.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Available only via OTA, which means you have to go back to 100% stock first. Here >http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/t-mobile-rolling-lmy47m-5-1-t3059371
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im on I, and am on tmobile, with the 95r radio, and everything works, including volte :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
[MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION]: "everything works" is great, but this isn't what I'm looking for, I want to be picky. I'm going to quote [MENTION=5817043]PunishedSnake[/MENTION] from [MENTION=3209971]cam30era[/MENTION]'s link:

PunishedSnake: "M was built 4 days after I so yes it would have all that I has and then tmobile specific stuff"

PunishedSnake: "It's in build.prop

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

M is greater than I..... "

Honestly, I'd rather wait for google to put M up on their developer's site rather than touch anything at this point. Does anyone think this might happen?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Letters don't appear to represent sequential release. I is most recent, and represents r3.

If M was going to be released with a factory image, it would normally have been within 48 hours of the OTA. It's been 3 weeks. You can keep waiting, and waiting.....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can do whatever youd like, everyone has their own priorities. me, i did it the easiest way, i dirty flashed 5.1 over 5.0.2, kept all my data, all my setup, and everything else. took about 90 seconds :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
Ok, wow. Never so much confusion is updating a Nexus device...

Some people say M is newer than I, some say otherwise? Either way, doubtful M will be released on google's site, and doublful it has anything I doesn't, so I'll just proceed with the original "Method 2" described in my original reply.

So all I have to do is follow the steps, except make sure not to type: fastboot flash userdata C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/userdata.img?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To add fuel to the fire, 5.1.1 is expected soon as well. This will, perhaps, unify all builds into one. This is based on the SDK being updated to 5.1.1 a few days ago.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Yes, correct.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
Thank you everyone! Followed [MENTION=5302753]Evolution_Freak[/MENTION]'s "Method 2" link, re-rooted, and everything seems good. I'm not good at using forums and this was my first time making a thread or being this confused at the particulars of flashing a nexus, but your explanations and information have been very helpful. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Glad you got it sorted and glad to have helped in any way. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunishedSnake:
Please give an example of a build where for example

A R build was older than an I build.

M is 4 days newer than I although I don't know why google hasn't posted the M build. Hopefully the next update brings all N6 to the same build
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
Hate to break this to you, but the I image has a serious problem for certain people on T-Mobile. It completely breaks group messaging using the default messenger, forcing them to use a different messaging program.

I told a friend to use the I Image as I had been told repeatedly everything would work fine. He uses group messaging heavily for work, while I never use it. I caused him some serious problems.

Not trying to rag on you specifically [MENTION=1490705]simms[/MENTION], but I am just warning people in general that not everything works perfectly on T-Mobile without the M build. I tested this myself.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i use the Google messenger app, and arent having any issues with sms, and group sms. no issues here to report.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Nexus-User:
Are you verifying that other people receive the SMS message? It does not give an error of any kind.

When I tested it, was in a room with 4 different people, and the message appeared to go through. However, only 1 person on the list I started the group message with would actually receive it.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jefe00:
I got a notification today that the 5.1 update is available for GPe phones via the System Update tool in settings. I have converted the AT&T phone to GPe, but just wondering if there are any gotchas anyone can think of? Scared to take the plunge.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tarund:
As long as you haven't made any changes to system files, you should be fine. Also, you can't be rooted. You must be 100% stock to apply the OTA update. There is an RUU available (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589) if something goes wrong.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jefe00:
Uh oh - I'm rooted. Should going into SuperSU and performing the full unroot operation be all that is necessary in your experience? Other than that, the phone would be completely stock (only used root for File Explorer purposes).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tarund:
You can definitely try that, or you can flash the ROM and Firmware individually (which I would highly recommend). Those packages are available here: http://www.graffixnyc.com/m8.php

Scroll down and you should see these:

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jefe00:
After I downloaded the update, it prompted me to reboot to install, and then all of the sudden in the middle of the countdown, it reverted to telling me my device is up to date, and there is no evidence of the 240mb downloaded file anywhere. Strange. Maybe I will steer clear for now.

No one has a bluetooth mouse they can hook up?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyApuzzo:
I just bonded my Logitech Anywhere MX2 via Bluetooth to my Nexus 6. ElementalX kernel and OmniROM lollipop. The left and right buttons work. Unfortunately, the middle mouse button and scroll wheel didn't work, at least not in Chrome nor in Nova Launcher.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainbum:
Thank you so much for taking the time to test your mouth can you tell me what function does the right click make
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiptonian:
Did you mean "mouth"?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyApuzzo:
When the mouse is connected, there is a mouse cursor displayed. The right-click (and left-click) seem to both be interpreted as a touch, not really a mouse-click. The scroll wheel and middle/back/forward buttons appear to do nothing.

I have not tried to figure out if there is a way to get more 'desktop-style' mouse behavior, but I'm open to suggestions.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainbum:
Me neither. A compromise I have found is in the 5.1.1 ROM that I am using. In the Settings/CyanideMods/Buttons/NavigationBar it gives me a bar with three buttons

Triangle, circle, square and I am using them like mouse buttons.

Back, home and open apps. So I'm good with that.

You see Touch wiz Roms give me proper mouse button behavior but Pure android and CM ROMs dont

You can try to Kies Emergency Recovery / Reflash or a odin flash and do factory defaults on top of it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] BehrendsTech:
If its running a custom or none stock ROM the about section will show wrong. I would remove the battery see what it says and Odin that firmware from sammobile. Sounds like you have a i337 running international variant of the rom. If it does say i337 don't do anything above MDL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:

I'd say just find and flash the NB1 ODIN tar file from the general section then. Either find the thread for it or check the [INDEX] thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] BehrendsTech:
The boot loop is a soft brick most of the time you'll need to Odin it to get it to boot. I'd try MDL if it boot loops still that means your on a newer version you'll need to flash the newer tar file.

Dont worry

First you need to specify the model you have... L02 or L12? A quick look at the back of the phone will clarify it.

after that download your stock rom from this thread http://xdaforums.com/honor-6/general/huawei-honor-6-index-t2963209

Use Huwawei update extractor to extract the rom ( you need some of them )

Next you will need to put your phone on bootloader mode ( Vol- and Power)

in CMD use the FASTBOOT commands one by one and be patient as system.img will take a considerable time

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img

fastboot flash boot BOOT.img

fastboot flash cache CACHE.img

fastboot flash cust CUST.img
