I am on LMY48M as well. I bought mine unlocked from Google but am running it on Cricket Wireless. Does carrier matter on how long it will take to get pushed out?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjoebob:
I'm on Cricket, got a new Nexus 6, it is still on Build number: LRX22C , 5.0.1

How on earth do I make it OTA update to something newer?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidzoo:
Not sure why they said that...the Nexus 6 isn't listed as one of their HD Voice capable phones. Until they get their act together with that, no one on AT&T will have HD Voice on the Nexus.

I got the MRA5BK update on my Nexus 5 on 10/8 on AT&T but am still waiting for it on my T-Mobile N6 and my N9.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboyinfl@gmail.com:
Mine automatically updated to 5.1.1 when I first set it up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjoebob:
I just made mine update by removing the Cricket (AIO) SIM.

Stopping the google framework, clearing the data.

Performing the CHECKIN.

Then is started to 5.1 and then to 5.1.1

Seems strange why it didn't start by itself.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboyinfl@gmail.com:
And then to marshmallow? If so, could you elaborate on the ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjoebob:
No, sorry, it stopped at a few variations of 5.1.1

I to have a Nexus 6 on Cricket running 5.1.1 build number LMY48T. I got mine to update by pulling sim card and leaving WiFi on through the night. Update to 5.1.1 was ready that morning
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidzoo:
They're talking about the update to 6.0, not to 5.1.1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjoebob:
It is kinda connected though, as it looks like it depends which SIM you have inserted to whether an update happens.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skratch1702:
The guy I was referring to said his was stuck on 5.0.1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboyinfl@gmail.com:
Got excited. Got notice that the update was ready to install. Still only have 5.1.1. Been updated to lmy48t. My understanding is that this update needs to happen before marshmallow.

Got it today..... Marshmallow!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan.bornholdt@gmail.com:
No update on AT&T yet

Because goggle decided to sell the n6 through carriers they locked themselves into some kind of agreement and screwed the entire Nexus experience. I bought mine on Motorola site, but because I am running with AT&T sim I will only get the update once AT&T approves it. It took more then a month last year (don't remember what the jump it was, but it wasn't a major release).

Now N6 is not the latest and greatest anymore, so I am afraid it will take even longer. This is not what Nexus experience is (was) supposed to be....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiiee:
I'm with Cricket and on Marshmallow. I just used NRT to revert to stock which NRT says was Marshmallow. Updated and all was fine, except I couldn't root it that way, but then no one can. Got modified boot.img and now I'm rooted, on AT&T, on Marshmallow. With a lot of help from my friends.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboyinfl@gmail.com:
Yes. 6.0
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
Any word on when those on LMY48W will get the update?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georged98:
Still nothing. I tried to take out my AT&T SIM card, put the phone in Airplane mode, clear data cache and Force Stop the Google Services Framework, to try and force OTA install of MM 6 but no good. Just have to wait for official OTA update if and when it comes. I don't want to install the factory image and clear out all my settings and reinstall apps. Too much pain in the butt.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It might be awhile. They are busy getting their servers ready to push the Samsung 6.0 updates so not really sure when they will push this one. To be honest there is no point in waiting for a carrier to push an update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
I am on Project Fi now, and still don't get an OTA.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georged98:
Why is the update carrier dependent? The Nexus 6 is an unlocked phone with a SIM card. It was not purchased through AT&T under any contract terms. I can use any carrier in the world that supports SIM cards. Why are other people getting the OTA update and not AT&T users. If I had a different carrier, got the OTA update, took out my SIM card and installed an AT&T SIM card on a updated MM6 phone, the phone would still work with AT&T. Just don't understand why AT&T is the issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Any phone bought from att has to be sure to work on their network. So any updates pushed to that phone have to be sure to work. So they have to test it. While when using Google images there is no promise it will work. Sure it should but if it has an issue with a carrier then that is not Google's problem. Never really happens but that is the jist of it. It's all about quality control when a carrier sells a device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjoebob:
Huh?

The updates come from Google, not AT&T.

You can install the OTA update manually if you want to, that won't clear any phone data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerbubba:
No. As of this writing, there is no link available to an OTA to update the LMY48W build -- the latest 5.1.1 build for AT&T -- to Marshmallow. See the OTA reference thread that tracks such things.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If the update was coming from Google you would not be waiting on att to push it. The data if cleared is pointless. The point is that att has to make sure any update "they" issue has to work on their network. Google is not limited in this way. So pretty much att has to redo alot of the tests and then some that only they do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
I do not see that any of the following OTA urls are hosted by anyone other than Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticKing32:
Screw ATT. Worst when it comes to Android updates. Absolutely awful. They delayed my galaxy s5's update for 7 freaking months. (The one to Lollipop) then other carriers released it and they still waited another 3 months before releasing it.

Learn a lesson like I did. Never buy anything with ATT on it unless it's a freaking iPhone. They do this on purpose so you get that crap.

I'm absolutely done with ATT. After the galaxy s5 I just gave up. Now I have the nexus 6 project Fi version and I sideloaded the ota.

O yeah and again. Screw ATT
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georged98:
I don't think the OTA update to MM 6 is the responsibility of AT&T since the phone is an unlocked Google Nexus phone and should not be dependent any carrier. That is the reason why we purchase phones from Google and not from any carrier. This is so that we get Google updates before anyone else. If I put a SIM card in from AT&T and am now bound to AT&T updates, that defeats the whole purpose of getting pure Android in the first place. I travel between the U.S. and Europe. If I put an O2 SIM card into my Nexus 6, am I now bound by O2 for updates? Google phones should not and are not subject to which carrier I use.

I just don't understand why Google has not updated the Nexus 6 for customers use AT&T.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent999:
When I booted my recently purchased from Amazon Nexus6 a couple of days ago, with my Cricket/AIO prepaid SIM in place, I was immediately offered the Marshmallow OTA update. I refused it, because I am hearing it removes T-Mobile band12 LTE support, but it was ready to install.

Cricket is AT&T.

When I have either my Verizon unlimited SIM in place instead, or my T-Mobile prepaid SIM, my phone shows no update available. Just on AT&T network is it available.

Maybe Cricket is "special". I have a GoPhone AT&T prepaid SIM around here somewhere, too, but I am not sure where and I have never cut it down to nano size...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
I ported my (Google purchased) phone from AT&T to Project Fi. Since my phone was previously on AT&T (on LMY48W), I am now stuck waiting for the AT&T update..... No OTA update was offered after the transfer 3 days ago.

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

And screw Verizon. When I had my S3, they were the ONLY carrier in the world to encrypt the bootloader. It was cracked once, then the very next update Verizon re-encrypted it. If you tried to revert to a previous version of Android, the phone would be bricked.

So Screw Verizon, Screw AT&T.... SCREW all US carriers! I hope Fi is here to stay.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotaryboy:
I got tired of waiting for the OTA from at&t so I threw in a old Sprint sim on my unlocked device (on at&t service) and it immediately picked up the update. Probably any non at&t sim would work?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
Only if you have not yet updated to LMY48W prior to swapping SIM cards.

I made the mistake of accepting the monthly security update LMY48W that was rumored to be required prior to updating to MRA58K, and now I am stuck in limbo land even though I am no longer an ATT customer.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic717:
I'm still trying to figure out how I got the LVY48H version... I'm also on AT&T so no idea how that happened... Seriously thinking of flashing a custom rom though as I really miss the led and double tap to wake... Native ambient display is a joke for this sized screen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerbubba:
Was this phone ever on Project Fi? LVY48H is a Fi-specific build.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic717:
Nope, I took it out of the box as an eBay purchase and just connected it to wifi to verify it was working and it did some updates. Was waiting to download MM when I took it to AT&T to get my sim activated. At this point it's moot. I'm getting ready to unlock, root and flash a custom rom. I need dttw
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerbubba:
Was it a sealed box? Since you bought the phone on eBay, the history of the phone seems murky.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic717:
It was the 300 new special they were just running, it did have a project fi logo on it until I had my att sim installed and rebooted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticKing32:
I did the same thing bro. I'm in ATT but my version is the Project Fi version. Just glad I didn't get screwed over into getting the ATT version.

I also bought it from eBay. And yes the phone is new.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerbubba:
Normally only phones sold directly through the Project Fi sales channel come preloaded with that firmware. Sounds like Fi was dumping their inventory through eBay as the new Nexus phones were about to debut.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georged98:
I'm in the same situation. I have LMY48W and now have to wait for AT&T to push MM 6 to my phone. If I travel to Europe and put my O2 SIM card into the phone, I still can't get MM 6 because of being "branded" AT&T. I will either have to wait for AT&T or do a clean install of MM6 factory image from Google which will wipe out all my stuff and basically have to start from scratch. Wow, they really screwed things up with this. Apple doesn't have this issue, I guess. Apple updates the IOS and that's it. No carrier B.S. stuff. That is how Google used to be. I still have my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM, Google issued, and all updates came from Google; not Samsung and not AT&T.

I wonder what the difference, if any, is with installing the Google factory image of MM6 and still have AT&T as my carrier. What's the difference between pure Google and AT&T. What does AT&T modify and what will I loose by doing the factory install?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent999:
With Mm6, there is only one update, so you won't lose anything except maybe the AT&T boot animation.

Pre-Mm6, you would have lost VoLTE, if AT&T had supported it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguy378:
Here's a "duh" moment for everyone. Flash Marshmallow using the factory image from Google's website. Then during initial setup you should have the option to restore from your most recent auto backup. Same result you'd get after an OTA update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1ny:
Only a few things that's quick and easy to set up are restored.

Hopefully it will be better now with Marshmallows.

My Nexus 5 are on Marshmallows so though about using that to set up my Nexus 6. But since very few apps support the new backup functionality in Marshmallows yet, I dropped that idea.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1ny:
Your apps are downloaded but your app settings are not restored. In Marshmallow the settings can be restored if the developers have implemented support for it in their apps.

In the settings in your Google Drive app you can see the apps that are backed up.

No problems with the phone relative to signal. I am on wifi a lot though. Regarding updates I was under that impression too. But, I think unfortunately at&t reviews it before it's released to us OTA.

Same here. Nexus was bought unlocked from Amazon, added to AT&T and still no MM update. The phone's not mine, it's my mother's, which is why I haven't flashed it, but it's really weird that the phone has not yet updated. If Nexus updates are limited by the carrier simply by putting a sim in then this is very worrying. Wonder if they have a legitimate reason to stop the ota.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chr0nos77:
No, they aren't pushing out the update yet. I'm thinking that if we want them to actually respond to us, maybe we need to get the power of XDA behind us, and start complaining on all their channels, Facebook, Twitter, etc, and get their attention. They are literally the last carrier to push out the Marshmallow update. This is from another XDA thread, showing how all the other carriers have their act together:

International 6.0 / MRA58N Project Fi 6.0 / MRA58X Oceania 6.0 / MRA58N Verizon 6.0 / MRA58R AT&T 5.1.1 / LMY48Y Sprint 6.0 / MRA58N T-Mobile 6.0 / MRA58X U.S. Cellular 6.0 / MRA58N
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalton4life:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkSoftly:
I can't believe Google is letting the carriers muck up the update process for Nexus devices. This is truely the Achilles heel of android and needs to be addressed immediately. It's mind boggling that a mature OS has this major flaw and nothing is done to address it. I love android, I've been using it since the eclair days, however, this issue existed then and still persists today. FRAGMENTATION fix it!!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is a problem as old as mobile device updates. Carriers in the US have all the control. As long as we depend on subsidiary devices and contracts this will not change. That is why I got a nexus. So I don't have to wait. Just grab the IMG from Google and away you go. Carriers always seem to mess up ota anyway. Last one I ever did was the one for the Galaxy s1 that bricked a bunch of devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkSoftly:
I'll have to respectfully disagree, although not perfect, Apple has a far superior process for updating their devices that is not carrier dependent. This probably because of apple's closed OS, but with googles unlimited resources, I'm sure the android team could iron this out if they wanted to. As much as I would like to blame AT&T, I can't. Google could fix this, they choose not to.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
I brought this exact point to Google Fi support. I was a previous customer on ATT that was stuck on LMY48W, and migrated to Fi in October. Ever since then I have not received any updates, not even the monthly security updates. I had to make repeated attempts to make them understand that it wasn't only the Marshmallow updates that I was not getting, to which they kept saying to hold on it is still rolling out blah blah blah, but I was not getting the October or November 5.1.1 security updates (LMY48X and LMY48Y) either since I was on the Fi network now. They completely orphaned my Nexus6, and I was told the only way for me to get any future updates was for me to go back to ATT, or manually flash marshmallow.... I seem to remember when I bought my Nexus 6 a year ago, that the advertising on Google's own website stated that the updates would come straight from Google themselves, and not the carriers... well we all know now that was BS.

The whole reason for me joining Project Fi was to get out of the garbage ATT and the other carriers were causing in the first place, so that wasn't an option.

They did end up giving me $30 though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
The eventual ota they released was later posted to the developers image page as a universal build.... They aren't letting them do anything... ATT controls what is sent to your phone but you have been free and able to download the images and upgrade your phone at any point. Their is no fragmentation on google side, all 6.0+ builds have been universal, and posted for download...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
Then why doesn't Google post up an OTA on their own Project Fi network to update phones that are on ATT builds on the Fi network to the marshmallow builds?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Apple is a different story. They have few devices and we're able to pressure carriers to play by their rules.

Android is completely different. Take the oem, they as we all know don't always push updates even though they got them from Google. So first you have to make sure the oem pushes it to the carrier and then make the carrier push it.

This is just not gonna happen. The carriers could easily say, no we will not carrier your device. Then they are stuck. Without carrier support every oem that deals in the states would lose all of it.
