[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoRavus:
Here it is, Christmas day, and no update for AT&T build LMY48Z.

I got my mom a N6 for Christmas. Updated it through wifi before connecting to a carrier. She got Marshmallow immediately (right after the 5.1.1 update, it updated to Marshmallow.

Here I am with a phone that's been activated for a couple months and no update. Thanks AT&T. I'm leaving your network and going to Project Fi Monday. Only wish I could flash; having PC problems and it won't work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
You will have to flash even if you go to Project Fi.

Google orphaned the ATT builds on their own MVNO, I was in the same situation.

You will not even get the ATT security updates if you go to Project Fi.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolarBlue:
So if I go to Project Fi with the ATT build I'll never get another update for anything ever again?

Wow looks like I'll have to flash if that's the case. Still going with Fi Monday. Since I rarely ever use data it won't cost much more than $20 a month.

Honestly, after looking at my mom's phone with Marshmallow compared to my 5.1.1, I don't see any difference at all. Everything seems to move at the same speed and I see no change in appearance. Didn't mess with it long enough to compare battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
That's correct.

Seems that battery life is improved when the phone is in standby. Not much difference otherwise.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolarBlue:
Why would they make a device that allows a phone company to put such a lock on it that it won't update ever if you switch to another carrier?

Looks like I have an AT&T phone now instead of a factory unlocked one.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That has been common practice for years. The is why the old dogs can flash an image from ADB in their sleep. For the longest time if you wanted to update you had no choice but to.

With a nexus it is always best to buy from Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolarBlue:
I spent 2 days trying to flash and one thing went wrong after another. Tried sideloading too. Followed three different youtube videos, a few tutorials, absolutely nothing would work on my end.

I bought mine from Amazon on black Friday factory unlocked. If only I'd known about this AT&T deal I would have updated before activating the service. Although Marshmallow isn't a must-have now, I would like to get future updates.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
It don't matter if you buy from Google or not. If you had ATT service prior to going to Project Fi (or any other carrier) you will have to manually flash to get off of the ATT build and get any future OTA's.

My phone was a Google purchased phone, and they still orphaned my phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jag72:
So quick question about Marshmallow on AT&T. Once you have flashed the stock 6.0 firmware have you been able to get the monthly updates with using a AT&T SIM? I had noticed today that I was still on the original 6.0 release and had no updates to install. Stuck in a Metro PCS SIM and rebooted the device. Once the device rebooted it immediately found the 6.0.1 update. Looks like AT&T is blocking all updates even when you move to 6.0. Has anybody else noticed this or could it potentially be an issue with my device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
That is normal. Since ATT has not made available 6.0, they will not have any updates for 6.0.

If you want timely OTA's, the only way is to change carriers.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jag72:
Rebooting with a different SIM will work perfectly fine for the time being. The different SIM does't even have to be activated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
This is true, but you wont receive notifications on your device when new OTAs become available.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoshneer:
So if I get a Project Fi sim will it update to 6.0?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
No, not if you are currently on an ATT build..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoshneer:
So there is no way to update unless I do it manually?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolarBlue:
It's either wait for AT&T or do it manually. I was finally able to flash 6.0.1 and switched to Project Fi.

It was such a headache. I tried so many different tutorials before it finally worked for me. Not sure which combination finally did the trick but I learned a valuable lesson. AT&T sucks and I'll never use their service again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
Same here.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomcty:
I regret leaving T-M for AT&T every time I look at my N6 running 5.1.1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer77:
Unlock bootloader, root, rom. Forget waiting on AT&T.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larzzzz82:
I'm not on att, but vzw. They are not the fastest in pushing updates out. Not at all. The hardest thing I've had to deal with using fastboot is syntax... Did I use a space? Do I space between the hyphen? E.g. fastboot reboot-bootloader. With a lil practice, and take your time! I can't stress that enough. You'll be flashing a new image and up and running in under 30 minutes.

I've also learned the hard way, let someone else mess up their device first and fix it. They'll post and save you headaches.

Read read read.... All the answers are here if you look for them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janjanrex:
Full instructions to install a factory image are here straight from google - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

If you want otas later - relock your bootloader. Otherwise stay unlocked. Please note of course unlocking your bootloader will wipe your data like always.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:
And please,please please if you must relock the bootloader make sure it boots after flashing the system images and operates correctly before running the OEM lock command
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffery fisherman:
Is it true that you need to re-lock your bootloader to receive future OTA's? Or is it that you cannot be rooted?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:
Bootloader can be unlocked
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leavingAt&t:

I have qtek 9100, and while it was on WM5 italian version the keyboard mapping was ok. But, I have installed WM6 (A BIG THX TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE WRITTEN ALL INSTRUCIONS FOR UPGRADING :) :) :) !), and some keys have been changed on the keyboard. For example, I have fulstop ( . ) on the left arrow key, and fulstop is (after upgrade) mapped elswhere...

Is it possible to remapp those keys?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefov01:
Greetings!

I wanted to share my strange problem and ask if anyboby has and idea on how to solve it.

Recently I have been having trouble with my Wi-Fi. When I leave the phone with Wi-Fi turned on and it falls asleep, or when I push the power button to make the phone fall asleep, Wi-Fi crashes... I can still use the phone, I can still charge it... The Wi-Fi indicator in the status bar is active too... Another thing is, If I leave the phone charging, Wi-Fi never crashes, I can leave it for throughout the night, I usually do that when I watch a Twitch stream and fall asleep, Wi-Fi works perfectly there... Decided to dig around a bit, I read a lot of threads, tried deleting /data/misc/wifi; tried freezing the logic board in the fridge; tried BAKING the logic board (it survived perfectly); tried switching stock roms, custom roms, radios even and a bunch of other things I can't recall now... Then, I decided to look at the logs and there were a lot of errors (log attached below), I looked at dmesg, there was NO problem powering on the Wi-Fi chip at all (as it is with other people having problems)... BUT, I thought of something funny! Why not install Firefox OS, I've never tried it and guess what... Wi-Fi was perfect there, the phone was able to fall asleep, Wi-Fi turns off when the phone falls asleep, then it turns back on perfectly! I don't want to be stuck with Firefox OS though, hence creating my first ever thread in XDA!

What do you guys think, is the logic board screwing around and having fun with me (hw failure) or is it something software-related? :D I am at a total loss...

Best regards to everybody!

[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
**NOTE** There is no reason to take this OTA any more. There are two custom-stock ROMs based on 35B. See "Edit III" below for links!

Well, it is confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt that this build can't be rooted. The currently known root method for 5.1.1 LG devices, along with every prior root method all fail. **Note attempting root will take your Software Status to "Modified", even though the actual root fails. We do not know whether this will prevent taking future OTAs at this juncture.

More importantly, this build cannot be downgraded using the KDZ method. You can, in fact, downgrade using the TOT method. See EDIT II at the bottom of this post.

It's interesting to note that the Verizon G3 update page has this to say about 35B:

That could be innocuous, or it could be precisely why we can't root or downgrade any more. I'm guessing the latter.

So please, consider yourself warned, for now if you upgrade to build 35B (which is the LG/Verizon official 5.1.1 Lollipop update), there is no going back and there is no root. I'll certainly update the OP with any developments that come along.

If anybody hears about a new root method for LG phones, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll be happy to investigate it. Would that I were smart enough to figure out how to root phones myself, but that's beyond my abilities. Godspeed everyone already on 35B.

Big thanks to:

[MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION] for coming along with me and being a fellow guinea pig, helping test and verify all of these problems.

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for attempting to help try and get this thing rooted.

Trying to look at the bright side, if you see my comments about performance and battery life, this build is actually quite good, especially for stock LG/VZW, so good on them for actually putting out usable, well-written software (unlike their 5.0.2 build).

EDIT - The KDZ file is now available for build 35B. Get it on AFH Here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347834649 or straight from LG here: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW5EEB7232L2ATO02223HOO/VS98535B_00_ARB00.kdz

Remember, you cannot root this build right now.

You've been warned. This is posted essentially for people that are already on 35B and experimenting with rooting. Now we can get back to 'official' status if we want.

EDIT II - We can now downgrade! Thanks to [MENTION=884560]agh1701[/MENTION] for figuring that out. You need to download a DLL file (see post #84) and use the TOT method (instructions here).

EDIT III - Stock-based ROM builds using 35B as the base:

SkyDragon 6.0.1 (comes complete with a custom kernel!) by [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION]

Jasmine 9.0 by [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
Thanks for the very good information. I did not know that they prevented downgrade. Hopefully we can at least get a 35B KDZ file soon.
[Verizon LG G3] random571:
[MENTION=4936949]hokiealumnus[/MENTION] Man...that kind of sucks. Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out soon. No more Candy for you :( ...and Halloween is right around the corner too :p

Thanks for having the courage to try the new build & providing feedback. I'm sure your info saved, and will save, a bunch of people from taking the update and losing root. A thousand thanks to you my friend :good:

I'm crossing my fingers for you to get root back ASAP :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon LG G3] tmord1:
I don't know if this is true or not and do not mean to perpetuate rumors, but I saw this posted as a comment in the droid life article announcing the update:

"........ JoeInMO • a day ago

If you're rooted and use Wi-Fi tether hotspot (unlimited data users) you're out of luck with this update. Also the new modem seems to automatically throttle data speeds and limits. If you're stock it may be OK, but if you're rooted DO NOT install this update (and you won't keep root). The FASTEST modem for the LG G3 is the 12B modem. The 23A and 23B are slower (I've checked in many places in the USA). It seems they're trying to limit the use of unpaid wi-fi Hotspot usage via the modem. There is NOTHING beneficial to a rooted user and make sure and BLOCK this update. If you're stock then go for it. Just another LG screw up." http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/06/verizons-lg-g3-gets-update-to-android-5-1-1-vs98535b/

But, in the spirit of trying to prevent people from losing wifi tethering on unlimited, here it is, take it with a gos...
[Verizon LG G3] HolyAngel:
so confirmed can't downgrade? tot method I would think would work... altho technically kdz should too.. If we can't even get root on this or downgrade there isn't gonna be any roms based on it... and even less chance of getting stock M on our phones with root. Super sucks having a locked bootloader :crying:
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Well, roirraW "edor" ehT is hopeful that they will release a KDZ that can be extracted to build stock-based ROMs off of. However, those of us that upgraded hoping to get images quickly are stuck for now.

I've never tried TOT, so I'll have to research that some more, but I'm scared to do it, because what if (rather than blinking a couple times and doing nothing), it works but triggers a counter that hard bricks the phone? That's, regrettably, not something I can chance, because this is the only phone I've got with no budget for a new one.

Before this week, I'd have said you were crazy if you said I wouldn't be able to downgrade, because that's how it's been through four different builds now. At this point, they've scared the initiative right out of me. :(

What I'm truly hoping for is root, with the ability to install TWRP and get this mess resolved that way. There seem to be smart people willing to work on it.
[Verizon LG G3] TheLoonyRebel:
This doesn't surprise me given how Verizon treats the rooting community as a whole. Heck they were pretty reluctant to even carry any Nexus devices at all and even then it's like pulling teeth to get them to sell them at all.
[Verizon LG G3] HolyAngel:
Right right... I can try myself but if it ends up being zero chance of downgrading then no more development on this device from me unless we eventually get root or unlocked bootloaders.. I don't have an issue risking it since I don't need my g3, but just a heads up.. I might try it tonight since I have the tot files to restore back if its possible.

An extracted system and boot would be all we need for a rom to be a made tho..
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Hmm...perhaps you should hold off, since you're the only stock-rom-dev-with-the-device we have. If you get your device locked to 35B you'll doom SkyDragon followers! If you keep your device away from 35B, you can still make a SD build from the extracted KDZ, assuming they do release one, which I presume they will eventually.

[MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION] , do you plan on attempting TOT? If you do it, maybe that will act as proof-of-concept & keep [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] 's from being potentially locked. Totally understand if you don't want to do that too...can't expect others to take the risk when I'm not willing!
[Verizon LG G3] HolyAngel:
Hmm yeah, guess I'll wait then and see. Hopefully someone figures it out ^^
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I plan on it, but since I never had any success using the TOT method, and one of the things I was going to try to get it working for me is do it from another PC. I need to set one of my spare junk PCs up to do it, just don't know how soon I'll get around to it, real life, you know.

I might try it again on the PC I tried it on several times before, that'll be less effort. Windows has been reinstalled many many times since I last tried.

Wow. Has any other G3 gotten this 5.1.1 update?
[Verizon LG G3] tmord1:
Why would they do this?? It feels like this build is built on spite! :confused:
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
Not that I use wireless charging since I like the cable better but this is just to pretty much say "we don't care for users and they can only do what we tell them". I'm so glad to be going to the Nexus 6P when it arrives.
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
I'm so done with Verizon on every level.
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
Im happy with their cell service but everything else is "eh". My bill is pretty cheap. 40GB unlimited everything else with 3 smart phones and one dumb phone for $280/month. I travel a lot and VZW could not be matched by ATT nor Sprint since I was always the person with service meanwhile others did not.

I hate how they lock things down. This is where apple shines because they say "we sell phones and people want our phones, you will listen to us because a lot of people want iphones and its a big chunk of your users".
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
That's what bothers me too. Verizon makes everything lockdown. They are a dictator.
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
Exactly. For a while they wanted everyone to use that payment thing they had but after a little while, Google wallet was allowed but this was probably months ago. I'm just glad I'm going towards the Nexus so no more of that crap. Them going to full price phones sucks but T-Mobile did it and probably ATT isnt not far behind and sprint.

Hello.

so you were rooted 24b, took the OTA to 35b.

did you down grade from 35b to 10/12, before kingroot to rooted 35b?

or did you go from 35b (system status modified) to kingroot to 35b rooted?

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] zul8er:
Rooted 24b with TWRP recovery. Hooked it up to the computer and let the Verizon tool update it. Lost root, system still said modified. Then when King Root was available, it did that to get root on 35b. I also did the SuperSU script to get rid of King Root. Took maybe 5 minutes start to finish. No downgrading.
[Verizon LG G3] Dobrah:
It was a hell of a nightmare but I managed to get CM12.1 on my new G3. I would not wish that headache on anyone.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've been there before!!
[Verizon LG G3] duwardb@gmail.com:
Can verify rooted using Kingroot Version 4.6 for PC on VS985 running 35b. Had upgraded through the software update tool, and had software status of modified before rooting this time. Was also able to use the SuperSU script to get rid of Kingroot and replace with SuperSU. Thanks for the tips everyone.
[Verizon LG G3] R1Mike:
Ok, I can also say that Kingroot works. I just downloaded Kingroot V4.6.0 apk and installed it on my phone to just give this new version a try. My software version is VS98535B. After reading and hoping, Kingroot rooted my phone. I can attest that Kingroot V4.6.0 apk works at rooting Lollipop 5.1.1. I am very happy with Kingroot and was glad to see it reach 100% and say that my phone was now rooted. I checked with ES File Explorer and was able to turn on Root Explorer under tools. Now to find the thread about removing Kingroot and install SuperSU.
[Verizon LG G3] someguyatx:
Yeah kingroot worked for me too. My used G3 came in today and it was already updated to OTA so I did kingroot followed by SuperSuMe Pro. I got my adblock and hotspot working so I'm good to go.
[Verizon LG G3] AJCazz901:
King Root worked for me as well, but I haven't had any luck installing a new recovery. Has anyone had any success getting TWRP installed?

I see a few people who just upgraded from 24b with twrp already installed. Did it keep the recovery?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you already have TWRP installed, you can flash a 35B based ROM like [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0, [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]' s JasmineROM v9.0+9.1 update, or [MENTION=351021]Holy[/MENTION] Angel 's SkyDragon v6.x from TWRP. Those do not overwrite your recovery and are pre-rooted.

if you upgrade some other way like flashing the 35B KDZ, or flashing an older KDZ and taking OTAs, that always makes your phone 100% unrooted stock including stock recovery.

You can't take OTAs worth a rooted phone on Lollipop, or worth a custom recovery.
[Verizon LG G3] blueis300:
ok a little bit confused. Only reason I rooted is just tether. So i dont need foxfi now?
[Verizon LG G3] someguyatx:
From stock rooted you still have to install the hotspot mod from Android development section. Very easy, replace file and update permissions.
[Verizon LG G3] troutbeck27:
Ok, quick question. I used this method to root and everything seems to be working.

My questions is TWRP working on this yet? All into I could find indicates no. Has anyone tried Flashify or TWRP Manager?

Thanks.
