Had the same "problem", to fix it and for windows to show the contents of the phone, you just need to pull down the top drawer and select mtp file transfer from the USB options. It is set for " charge only" as default. Try it out!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasharkhan:
Pull down the status bar and set charge only to transfer files
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariuxReloaded:
Exactly: it is not a problem, but just a new way to manage USB connections. You just have to pull down the status bar and choose one of the USB options for your Nexus 6 ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
lol you guys aren't understanding, I did that and it did not fix the issue. The phone was still not recognized as a storage device. I also tried a Nexus 6 that was on 5.1.1 which does not have the charging only option in the drawer and it also was not recognized but once I deleted the adb driver from my computer, my computer saw both as storage devices when I put them into MTP mode
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onknight:
Go into developer settings

Make sure checked Debugging on

Then Scroll down

Look for MTP CHange it to something else in the settings

then back MTP Your computer will then see it it bug in 6.0

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterkickass:
Hey all,

I was wondering if anybody else has encountered this rather annoying issue, and if any known solution exists. I'm inclined to think it's an app issue rather than a system issue, but I'm not sure. When I'm trying to install Need for Speed: No Limits from the Play Store, I get the error message specified in the title. It seems that others have encountered the same problem, see here, here and here (this last one describes the same problem with the X Style).

Based on its hardware capabilities, the X 2014 should be able to run the game; I have no problem installing it on my E 2015 either. Troubleshooting methods I tried so far:

-updating Google Play Services and Play Store to the newest available versions

-clearing cache

-factory resetting the phone

None of these worked. Even Play Store's web version lists the game incompatible with the X 2014 when I'm trying to push the install to the phone. I'm running out of ideas. System is stock Lollipop, 23.16.6.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US tmo, LPE23.32-21.6. No modifications whatsoever.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
You can't fix this problem yourself. They for some reason blacklisted the moto x 2014 as being incompatible. Only EA can fix that by unblacklisting our phone. Send a support email to them asking why our phone is listed as not compatible.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterkickass:
Thanks for confirming my suspicions!

Unfortunately they do not seem to care too much for inquiries about incompatible devices; they just send back a generic answer about wanting to provide the best experience and being unable to support every model or answer in detail as to why some phones are not supported.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe1blue:
Dumb question, but I'll ask anyway if I root will I not be able to receive OTA updates? Because I know whenever I did that with my Note 4 that if I tried it would give a message saying operating system is modified or something in that nature.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrenchKato:
You will not be able to take the ota. You have two options when marshmallow comes out.

1) Use the return to stock tool and take the ota them reroot

2) Wait for a flash able zip to become available.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mDaniel:
Which will most likely be faster available than waiting for the OTA.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanker Bob:
I'm not sure that will be the case for the MXPE. Fastboot shows the OS as "original," leading me to believe that OTA updates may work. Remember that on the Note 4, et al, unlocking the bootloader wasn't supported by the OEM or carrier. Since Moto is supplying the unlock codes, I suspect that OTA updates will not be disabled on the MXPE as long as no other OS changes are made. I could be wrong, but we'll find out when the time comes.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobmannh:
Chances are, if you unlocked your bootloader, you flashed a custom recovery. You can't take an OTA through a custom recovery -- not because it's "blocked," but because the OTA tool is not written to work with that recovery.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanker Bob:
Could be. Easy enough to fix if so. Just tell TWRP to allow the OS to overwrite it, the reflash TWRP after the update.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanbailie:
Can't you just flash the stock recovery to take the OTA? Sure, you'll lose root, but you could still take the OTA, then flash your custom recovery again. Is there anything, other than a stock recovery, that prevents OTA updates?

I wish we had a release date. Getting excited for the new features. Should have kept my Nexus 5!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
A modified system will prevent the install. You would need to flash the system image as well.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chindynasty:
I know some owners rooted their device for different reasons other than roms, but imo better to wait for 6.0 for OTA first. This phone comes with pure Android rom. Not like you need to remove bloat apps. Just need custom roms and kernels which is slow developing. Maybe the devs don't want to waste time with lp and their also waiting for marshmallow. I'm surprised how slow this device is moving under development. Oneplus one didn't have mass sale but their development was quick. Being so similar with nexus 6, hopefully we can get some love with MXP.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
I have been holding out on unlocking for this reason. I'm lazy and don't want to set everything up again so I will use Marsh to back everything up first then I will go to town
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kent1146:
OTA will not work for rooted MXPE's.

1) Rooting the MXPE requires you to load an alternative recovery (TWRP), which doesn't work with the OTA installation scripts.

2) Rooting the MXPE modified /system files. And OTA updates check /system integrity before it runs the update. Rooted phones will fail that integrity check, and will fail to OTA for that reason.

You could restore your MXPE to stock conditions (un-root, and load stock recovery) to have it accept an OTA. I'm sure that most people will do that, and then re-install TWRP and re-root after that is done. However, I'd recommend you wait a bit for other people to try this first, just in case there are any issues and to verify that root is still available in Android Marshmallow 6.0
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanker Bob:
Makes sense. Somebody has to be first. :) I will do a nandroid backup before attempting to update by any means.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 32blownhemi:
I want to learn to root. I bought an unlocked Nexus One to try it on. But thought I'd ask if there's an easier phone to start with? Or is that one good? It's never been used. It's Android version 2.3.6. GSM... I have two phone numbers, Verizon unlimited grandfathered plan with a Samsung s5 & an AT&T Go Phone with a broken HTC One.

All what steps? Is your phone rooted already? Did you have twrp before?
[E 2015 General] Essenar:
I followed every step to a T. Every single step.

I put the GSM sim into the phone, powered on the phone, turned on airplane mode, enabled developer, enabled USB debugging, had no issues seeing the device.

I ran all the commands, disabled airplane mode, shut down my phone and started it again. Disabled all Verizon apps.

I had T-Mobile LTE for probably 1 or 2 seconds and then it INSTANTLY shut off the mobile modem and gave me the signal bars gray with an x. Adding my APN didn't help.

And I'm on 5.1.

Let's be clear about this: My phone had 5.1 from the time I bought it and I followed all the steps to a T. This phone will just not connect to T-Mobile. My SIM card is fine by the way, works great in my spare iPhone.
[E 2015 General] j4r3d:
you need to reflash the phone with baseband. the LTE band gets locked once it's set. is your phone used or maybe it was pre setup.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] longjames99:
You can root the Verizon Motorola Droid Maxx on 4.4.4 but it won't survive reboot as soon as its rebooted it unroots and uninstalls superuser. If anyone could develop a way to allow reboot that would be awesome.

To root I used Kingoapp one click apk root. I know gross right because it installs superuser instead of SuperSU ,anyways if someone could develop a way to reboot and keep root that would be amazing. BTW disable or uninstall any antivirus and uninstall clean master security as it interfered with the root process. You might have to try more than once and reboot your phone if it kinda goes crazy.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] breakfix:
There is a permanent root method:

Root Junky also has a great video that runs you through it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyDnN3_hAmA&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop

I used this on my Droid Maxx and it works. Follow the steps carefully.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] classic757:
Not to slight CrashXXL, I do give him credit for trying. However, imo this root method is useless. I rooted two Maxx phones with it (subsequently unrooted them) and to be honest what can you really do with it? Without write protection being disabled you cannot change anything in the system and have it stick. Install Xposed? Okay, so just trick the phone out, that's all? Use adblock plus or adaway? You can use AdGuard(which imo is much better) without root.

This to me is root in name only. Real root is write protection disabled.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] breakfix:
I agree that root without unlock is pretty useless; that's why my droid maxx is sitting in a drawer and I'm now carrying a Moto X Pure. I'm done with carrier branded phones - they're not really yours, ever.

Just wanted to pass along the info and my experience to the original question as it was posed. The Crash root method works well, if that's all you're looking for.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] classic757:
How do you like the Moto X Pure? I am interested in getting that phone. No more locked down phones with the carrier footprint on it.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] breakfix:
So far so good. I've had my Moto X Pure for a few weeks now after having the Droid Maxx for almost two years. I liked the Maxx, but got very frustrated with the slow to no updates from Verizon. I also did not like that it was so difficult to root and impossible to unlock the bootloader so I could update it myself. Hopefully Moto will push updates faster since this is nearly stock-android?

Anyway, I like the Moto X Pure very much, and also like that you can add micro sd storage as well as the Moto Assist features that I came to rely on from the Maxx. However I just read that the Marshmallow update is not going to include Assist?

And although the battery is a lot smaller than the Maxx, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I get a good day-and-a-half out of it with normal use. The turbo charging will also help out a lot because it really is super fast. I went from 10% to 100% in about an hour, so I can usually charge from ~20% to full in about 45 mins.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] classic757:
Sounds good.

I went ahead and got the Droid Turbo. Original not the new Turbo 2.

It has Lollipop 5.1.1 on it and is set to receive Marshmallow soon (maybe by the end of 2015).

Yeah, I know it is carrier branded by Verizon but I have been giving it some thought and I am just not as convinced as before that I need to root/and or unlock the bootloader on my phone(which by the way voids the warranty). I mean, back in the day root was more useful what with less storage and ram on phones and older, slower software but with these super-fast modern high tech phones with mega storage and ram I don't see root/unlock as being essential anymore imo.

I do not need a custom rom (which often lacks some useful stock apps) which most if not all custom roms no matter how good have one bug or another.

So I will just disable the apps I do not need or use and install AdGuard to block ads(it works better imo than ad block plus and ad away, which both require root. AdGuard does not need root.

Anyway, glad you are happy with the Moto X Pure. From what I have read it is a good phone. Had I not gotten the Turbo I would have considered that phone.

All devices should work on all networks, they are lying to you if they say it's not going to work.if

If they decline to give you a SIM and you already have a sprint phone with a SIM card, just put the SIM in your nexus. If your SIM is too big for the nexus, but a SIM cutter for $5 from amazon or eBay to cut your SIM to fit the nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
I'll keep updating this thread for reference if anyone else has a similar problem.

I went to the Sprint store today and the people there, at least my local one, are so much more helpful than customer care reps. Anyway, they were not able to activate it in the store either. Their system wasn't 100% explicit in giving the reason, but the guy I worked with believe the ESN to be in their system, but the phone was active on a 3rd party carrier (one of the smaller carriers). Since it was an Amazon Warehouse deal and appeared to be an open box, this is entirely plausible that someone activated and returned the phone. Him and another employee at the store said Amazon phones should activate no problem, so I am returning mine for a new one.

I did run an ESN check though Swappa, and they show it as clear and ready to activate, so it is hard to say what is really going on. I contacted Amazon and I have a BNIB replacement coming for mine, so hopefully all should be well.

I don't know if this applies to my situation since the Sprint store thought the ESN was in their system already (and several articles I've seen state that Sprint has whitelisted devices not from Sprint or Google Play), but here is some information from the SprintAMA account on reddit they may come in handy for someone about activating a non-sprint nexus. https://np.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/2mpr7s/update_regarding_the_nexus_6_from_motorola_on/”

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
Yep. I've dealt with poorly trained customer reps with Verizon before as well. The first guy I spoke with (which was on Sprint Chat) was pretty explicit that the phone had to be from Sprint. The next person I spoke to on Chat didn't really offer much information, other than suggesting I go to a store. The guys at the store were super helpful and said it shouldn't be a problem. It seems that in this case the phone may be already active on another network, but hard to say for sure. We'll see how it goes when my replacement gets here Saturday.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
I've seen others had problems getting a SIM from Sprint. When I first came to Sprint I bought an LG G2 from Swappa (Sprint variant LS980) and they gave me a SIM with no hassle. I had cut down my SIM from that phone for the N6 but they went ahead and gave me a new one anyway* and said they'll give me one any time.

I appreciate the help, but this has been resolved. For the record, the Nexus 6 from Sprint or others absolutely works on Sprint so long as it is the XT1103 North American model, including LTE and CDMA. The XT1103 is the same phone sold by Sprint.

its NOT a different model, its the same exact model. every nexus 6 that is sold in the united states is the exact same model, with the same radio, with the same available bands. and yes, it will work on project fi just fine. what you just said has nothing based in fact behind it. the only other version fir the n6, is the european/workd version, that isnt really sold in the united states, unless its in ebay or similar.
