Actually, that is not the way Google has been pushing out the OTAs for Project Fi. Their online documentation does not match what is actually happening. (I do agree that Google should fix its documentation.)

I am not aware of any Project Fi users getting the LMY48I update pushed out as an OTA. Some have flashed the full factory image for this build, but they are off the reservation on their own.

Phones purchased directly through the Project Fi channel are being updated to LVY48E from LVY48C to fix the Stagefright issue.

All other Project Fi user phones -- including my stock Nexus 6 that was updated OTA yesterday -- apparently are being updated to LYZ28J from LYZ28E, also to fix the Stagefright issue. (This fork is sometimes called the "T-Mobile" one., but it is not limited to T-Mobile. My phone, for example, was purchased from the Play Store -- not the Project Fi sales channel -- and was on Sprint before I activated it on a Project Fi.)

Presumably, the online documentation is wrong and the Google engineers have been pushing out the right OTAs to everyone. I certainly hope the reverse is not the case.
[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
I have an unlocked N6 purchased from Amazon. The only service I ever used on the phone is Fi. After activating Fi, my phone updated to 48C. I received a 48I OTA update.zip push the day it was released. I had to fastboot because I'm rooted. I read on the Fi community that others (and boomerbudda above) are getting the 48E push, but 48E is not listed on Google's Nexus image site.

Edit: I reread bommerbudda's post and realized that he got the LY- branch.

Edit again: Regarding 48I, IIRC, it was reported that 48I created problems for T-Mo subscribers where they were unable to sustain connections to cell towers. LYZ28J was released to address that issue.

Edit 3: Even more info: 48C included the Project Fi app in the system image whereas 48I did not. It is believed that 48I was a more generic build. 48E was being pushed to N6 that were sourced from Fi invite.
[Nexus 6  General] gdriggs:
Where do they document the OTA process? And how can they track where you purchased it? Via serial number? That seems problematic since you can switch carriers multiple times no matter where you purchased from.

Root and flashing outside of the OTA update process is already a non-standard process but this entire community exists for that very reason, does it not? :)

LVY48C is the only one on the dev image page that says it's for Fi -- and there's not yet a full image download for LVY48E. The only sideload OTA file I could find is called signed-shamu-ota-LVY48E-from-LVY48C-superblock-fix.zip but I was unable to get sideload to work with either TWRP or the stock boot loader. It looks like I may have to try the Nexus Root Tool because I had an error about a bad system image that is hinted at a Fi Reddit thread re LVY48E.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Well, there have been announcements on the Project Fi Google+ group (registered users only), as well as the labels on the public developer's page listing all the builds. The descriptions in both places are problematical because they don't match what has been happening in the field. For example the Nexus Files for Developers page says of builds LYZ28E and LYZ28J: "For T-Mobile ONLY." But actually Google has pushed OTAs for both of these builds to Project Fi user's phones, including mine.

And yes, of course they can tell where the phone was first sold by its IMEI number.

But the Google Project Fi team is not part of the XDA community. In fact, they do not officially support modding user devices. They certainly don't prohibit it, but they do not encourage it either. Like any other provider, they have an official updating process, and anyone circumventing it does so at their own risk.

So far there are two forks within Project Fi -- the phones originally sold via the Project Fi channel, and all others. The first fork is LVY48C-LVY48E. The other fork is the so-called "T-Mobile" fork, which seems to be what has been loaded on all other devices that activate on Fi. Someday, perhaps, these will unify to one.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
This puzzles me. If that is correct, you got an OTA that is unknown in the reference thread here tracking the Nexus 6 OTAs. On that page, there is no such critter as "LMY48I from LVY48C."

Anyone else keep getting bug report coming on in notification. Drop down or when you go to power down, keeps asking for a report.?
[Nexus 6  General] AudioMan612:
Background Process

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I haven't found an answer to this. I updated my rooted Nexus 6 to LMY48I yesterday, and since then, apps such as task managers can no longer see background process. This doesn't bother me too much, as I don't really use task managers anymore, but I still find it odd. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Yup, it appears to be a "feature" of 48I.

[Nexus 6  General] Plifispen:
I have the same, but it depends on the application. For example, SD Maid sees nothing but Greenify sees all the applications in the background.
[Nexus 6  General] touche112:
God there's so many people to quote, so I'm not going to even try. Yeah so my device was a T-Mo one bought Unlocked on Amazon, but I flashed it to the Project Fi fork and went from there.

I have an OTA notification. I captured it - it's a delta update. I haven't applied it yet.

I absolutely hate the path Google is taking with Nexus 6 firmware. The builds should (and easily could) be unified.

[Nexus 6  General] Tech_Savvy:
can i flash (LMY48I) factory image if i have the sprint nexus 6? im new to the nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
You can flash any factory image on any Nexus 6. Your question should be, "is LMY48I intended for Nexus 6 running on Sprint"? And the answer is yes.
[Nexus 6  General] Tech_Savvy:
thanks for the response...also is there any compatibility issues with radios and such? thank you...
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
There should be no issues at all. LMY48I is the latest factory image for Sprint (and all US carriers except TMO and Fi).

Edit: You can look through this thread and see if any Sprint users report any issues > http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-6-sprint-users-thread-t2949996
[Nexus 6  General] tonystewart:
Thank you so much for all the advice, it worked exactly as you said it would.
[Nexus 6  General] Dark3n:
Somewhere along 5.1+ Google changed the APIs for getting running processes.

Specifically getRunningAppProcesses which most apps use for that.

Currently getRunningServices still works but is inaccurate as it only accounts for services.

The best solution for now would be to parse /proc and use one of the above as fallback method.

SD Maid v3.1.3.8 should now display running apps correctly again.

[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
If you are looking for a TWRP recovery flashable .zip for stock LMY49I, it does not exist. Only fastboot flashable factory image, or OTA.

[Nexus 6  General] AudioMan612:
Glad I'm not the only one. I'm guessing that it has something to do with not allowing Stagefright to access other apps?
[Nexus 6  General] bjacks12:
I received my OTA update on Friday. I spent the weekend in a very rural area that has OK-ish coverage on AT&T and NONE on the other carriers. Was having difficulty connecting even prior to the update this weekend, must be a tower issue. Nobody else in my family could connect either(we're all on AT&T, but using different MVNO's). Installed the OTA via Wi-Fi at a relative's house. Saturday I had no data at all. Same today. I just chalked it up to the local tower being down. I got back to Vegas tonight and have not had a data connection at all where I should be getting LTE.

Started going through the list of what could be wrong. AT&T seemed to be OK on their end. Straight Talk's CS was absolutely useless, as always, but at least they were somebody who I can yell at and never feel guilty. Ended up putting the SIM in my Nexus 4 and i got HSPA+.

I realized that my problem was one of two things. Either I just pissed $500 down the toilet on a worthless N6, or the update ruined it. Did a factory reset and it's restoring now...but it did show LTE on the welcome screen. We'll see how it goes. I may roll back to LMY47Z if this I image is so ****ty.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Did you factory reset or wipe caches after updating or just do a dirty install? I am also on AT&T and experienced none of these issues, but I flashed the update with fastboot instead of an OTA and wiped caches afterwards.
[Nexus 6  General] bjacks12:
I didn't do a factory reset. I just allowed it to accept the OTA update.

I know we're all technical here and we can flash images etc like it's nothing. But I also know general users with Nexus devices and IMO you should not have to factory reset your phone to get it to function AS A PHONE whenever it receives an update. Google needs to get their updates in order.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
FWIW: Your reception shouldn't have changed. LMY48I has exactly the same radio as LMY47Z. (101R).
[Nexus 6  General] bjacks12:
It shouldn't have...but it worked before and didn't work after. Not a radio change, but just a ****ty installation.
[Nexus 6  General] wave000:
I installed LMY48I on my at&t nexus 6 and the signal has been better.I tried the same radio before( .101R) but seems like something changed with LMY48I.....
[Nexus 6  General] MXPS:
Doesn't completely fix it though.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
No, that's my point. Google has not completely plugged the stagefright hack. There's still more work to be done on their end.
[Nexus 6  General] Didgeridoohan:

[Nexus 6  General] Nintendot:
Hi All:

Newbie here, I was looking around for info to upgrade to LMY48I from LMY47Z and saw this post. Want to really confirm I'm doing the right thing so I don't end up bricking it by chance... Here's the situation: (Apologize for text overload :( )

Phone: Rooted Stock ROM Nexus 6 bought from Google Play

Rooted via: Nexus Tool Kit (Yes I know I shouldn't have... didn't gain any knowledge via the tools, even though I read the beginner guide... lesson learned)

Custom recovery: TWRP (installed by the Nexus ToolKit I think)

So I learned about the sideload ability thinking it's applicable even after root and having a custom recovery, this thinking is related to the following question:

- Why would anyone use sideload instead of applying OTA directly when they are not rooted?

After grabbing the LMY48I from LMY47Z OTA file from this link, I rebooted phone into recovery, then selected the "ADB Sideload" option in TWRP, while there, via ADB I did "adb sideload <path_to_zip>", and it gave the error: "E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sideload/package.zip' while the cmd prompt shows "Total xfer: 0.06x"

Then I read a bit of this thread where one of the comments mentions the following method:

-------------------

1. Download factory image

2. Unzip factory image

3. Use fastboot to flash radio.img and system.img

4. Boot into TWRP, wipe caches, and reboot

5. TWRP will prompt you install SuperSU. Do it.

6. After your phone finishes booting SuperSU will want to update binaries. Open the app and choose update normally and NOT through TWRP/CWM.

7. Reboot once it finishes

--------------------

Questions:

- Is the above the only way to apply the latest version?

- Does this mean I will lose all app data/sd data (I'm guessing yes based on what I read, but want to make sure)

TL;DR: Can anyone shed some light on the 3 questions in bold?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
[MENTION=6880543]Nintendot[/MENTION],

You can also fastboot flash the Google factory image.

Instructions here ( use Method 2, Long Method) > http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008

You won't loose anything if you just flash the system.img and boot.img.

Download factory image here > https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 6  General] Nintendot:
Hi cam:

Thanks for the response.

Is that similar to what Faceplant was saying?

He mentioned to flash radio.img and system.img, after reading some following comments people stated that the radio.img has not changed, system.img needs to be flashed for obvious reasons, but what of boot.img, how come it needs to be flashed? And is it true that in my situation, I don't really need to flash the others mentioned in the guide you posted? (such as userdata, recovery and cache) So that I can preserve app data and such.

I also read in this thread the following comment:

-----------------

Just flash the system.img, boot into TWRP, wipe caches, and reboot. You won't get encrypted or lose your custom kernel/recovery or anything. If you want root install SuperSU through TWRP when it asks you. You will have to reinstall Xposed, Busybox, etc if you had them.

-----------------

Questions:

- Do I always need to wipe cache when I flash system.img (or anything)?

- Does cache wiping mean just the cache? Or both dalvik cache and cache?

Thank you for your time!
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Radio is unchanged. You only need system.img and boot.img as I wrote previously.
[Nexus 6  General] Nintendot:
Update:

Just flashed the boot.img and system.img according to the teaching of [MENTION=3209971]cam30era[/MENTION], it was a success.

Here are some "findings"

- When the phone is in bootloader, "adb devices" actually doesn't list it and "adb usb" or "adb shell" returns device not found. However, this does not seem to stop the fastboot commands from executing.

- In bootloader, I actually messed up twice, first is order, I flashed the boot.img first, then the system.img, then I accidentally pressed "Start" when trying to go to the bootloader logs while fastboot cmd was processing... so had to cancel the cmd and unplug the USB before anything could happen to brick it...

- After the above scare, rebooted in bootloader and ran fastboot flash in the suggested order, everything seemed ok, the time it took to flash the system.img is a bit long, and it actually happened in 4 different "parts" as the following SS shows:

PS: XDA doesn't allow newbies to post outside links before having 10 posts :( so can't attach imgur here, typing them out instead:

I guess it's due to the size limit of 536M.

Here's the log of the bootloader, the boot.img log at the bottom might be because I flashed boot.img previously?

cmd: getvar:max-download-size

cmd: flash:system

cmd: getvar: partition-type:boot

cmd: getvar:maxdownload-sze

cmd: download:0078cd27

cmd: flashboot

Mismatched partition size (boot)

- After this is done, went into the recovery mode (TWRP) and wiped the cache (but not dalvik cache, read upon this and it seems to be the vm cache for different platforms, so thinking it does not matter), chose not to install SuperSU (want to root it manually this time), and rebooted

- System at first still prompts the OTA about installing LMY48I even though the Build number already shows so, but it went away after a while. And the update seems complete.

PS: Yes I know... way too detailed for most of you, but figured some of this info might be useful towards newbies like me :D

I spent all day and I cant figure it out :(

I am on LMY47D. Root, no encypted and TWRP.

I want to update to LMY48I and I don't want to loose my data (apps/settings/photos etc.) and no encrypted.

I downloaded 5.1.1 (LMY48I) from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images but it is *.tgz with no *.img inside.

I found 9c46cf0e8e98f1301340b63a9c742d68ce52e254.shamu-LMY48I-base.zip but there is no radio and no system.img - just system.new.dat, system.patch.dat

I've got two updates, too:

signed-shamu-LMY47Z-from-LMY47D-fullradio-fix-superblock.zip

and

signed-shamu-ota-LMY48I-from-LMY47Z-superblock-fix.zip

but there are:

system.new.dat,

system.patch.dat

no system.img :(

radio:

radio.mdm1m9kefs1.img (1KB)

radio.mdm1m9kefs1.img (1KB)

radio.mdm1m9kefs1.img (750KB)

radio.modem.img (50MB)

should I fastboot flash all files?

where to find system.img?

OMG
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
I am gonna give you some advice, and it is worth what you paid for it. :)

Just use Wug's Toolkit to install the proper stock ROM. Plug in your phone, copy off your music, pics and files to your PC, and let the tool install the correct latest ROM, with the unencrypt kernel, etc... It takes a few minutes and it does it right.

The time to backup and set up your 40 or whatever apps, is a fraction of the time you have spent trying to figure this out, no offense.

10 minutes to back up your stuff over USB, 10 minutes for the toolkit to install the proper ROM and unencrypt kernel, 5 minutes to boot up and log in so that all your apps can start downloading, and while it is doing that, you can be copying all your files back over USB.

I can back up my phone, install a ROM and kernel this way, and restore it and set it up fully, in about 45 minutes start to finish...
[Nexus 6  General] belek1979:
No way - too many apps I cant reinstall.

I only need system.img and radio.img... Or an advice if radio.modem.img is enough and what to do with system.dat...

then fastboot flash system/radio, clear cache and dalvik and thats all... the point is files. I used to HTC ONE where flashable zips, images and others arent any problem :(
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Why can't you reinstall apps?
[Nexus 6  General] belek1979:
Nfc payment and tickets and banks apps...

And there was 47d, 47z, now 48I and for few hours 48M. I cant imagine to set up everything everytime.

I couldn't stand waiting for img so I flash system, boot, radio and noencrypt thr TWRP. 3 minutes is better then clean flash :P
[Nexus 6  General] patmw123:
Can anyone confirm if the radio or bootloader have changed at all from the LMY48I build?
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
Did you use 7-Zip to extract the files? If not then do that. Afterwards unzip the zipped file that would be named something like: image-shamu-lmy48i.zip and inside the folder you'll find the system.img, etc.

Follow the steps laid in post 25. That worked for me.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I will check it later, but you can easy check it.

Download the factory image extract it on the PC and you will see the name of the radio image.

That name includes the version id.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

That is a good method. I hope you don't mind that I add the following.

After flashing a new system.img your data is kept, but not all settings.

Example:

My N6 is in tablet mode by changing the LCD density from 560 to 384. After flashing system.img the file build.prop is set to default.

Also the launcher is replaced.

Result: icon and display settings gone.
[Nexus 6  General] Nintendot:
I think the "system.new.dat, system.patch.dat" are files under the OTA zip.

The actual LMY48I factory image (sized ~900M) contains the needed system.img

For me, I 7-zip shamu-lmy48i-factory-230e50fe.tgz into shamu-lmy48i-factory-230e50fe.tar, then 7-zipped that into a shamu-lmy48i dir, this dir contains image-shamu-lmy48i.zip which then contains the necessary img files (system, boot, recovery etc)

Hope that helps

from which you can flash a .kdz file which i think is a firmware file .You can find how to use the LG Flash Tool from here Mod Edit .You need to download the firmware file and i downloaded it from here Mod Edit (im guessing it works on other models as well such as the D722 or the D724).

Once downloaded you need to open the LG Flash Tool and select the firmware file you downloaded and select either of the two flash options (normal being for the one with your data being recovered and Csu the one with your device being wiped ) i did the csu as i had already messed my device up .I hope you find help from this thread and manage to recover your beat and best of luck to you all.

I've had the nexus 6 for almost a year now. I don't talk on it much, maybe once a day max. However, whenever I do, everyone always has a hard time hearing me without me having to reposition my phone. Is there a secret place to hold it up to my ear or what? I notice if i bring it up higher, its closer to my mouth, but then I can't hear them as well. It's driving me mad! Any tips?

This is across every Rom. Currently running PureRom. I thought it may have been my case, but it has cut outs for the front and back MIC.
