[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman16000:
I've had my Nexus 6p for 1 week and I have not received any OTA update notifications. I'm still running MDA89D (latest is MDB08M??)

I'm on Verizon (with a sim from my Note 4) and have not done any modifications to the phone yet (bootloader, root, etc)

Am I being too impatient? According to the factory images page, (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en) I'm already 3 releases behind??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quie2TP:
Same for me, however I had to go get a new nano Sim from the Verizon store. I'm also not rooted/unlocked and have not received one update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohlin5:
2 phones here (one for me, one for my wife). Mine received an update but hers did not. Interestingly enough, however, mine was up and running without the sim card in it for a while prior to putting it in...I just don't understand how Verizon could be blocking anything...I mean the update comes through Google, not Verizon.

Maybe if there's continued reports of it I'll try stealing my wife's phone and removing the sim card to see if it immediately then gets an update. Sure is odd...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman16000:
Interesting. My nephew got his update the day he got the phone. He was running only on wireless because he did not have his Verizon sim card yet. I'm going to try pulling my sim and leaving it on wireless a while. I'll report back if I find anything interesting. Thanks!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quie2TP:
I completely set up my 6p on wifi for a day before getting my nano Sim installed, so no update for me in that respect either.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohlin5:
Definitely some interesting results here. However, the nexus' updates are different in that OEM's and carriers are kind of "cut out" of the loop....the updates come from Google unless I'm completely missing something. So, my guess would be that maybe, like most updates in general, Google releases them in waves based off SN or IMEI numbers or whatever. I would say chances are good that in the next week or 2 it's hit a lot more devices. Time will tell!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmeeks:
I've been on wifi only since I've gotten my 6p two days ago and no update here. [MENTION=4513259]ohlin5[/MENTION] might be right.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born<ICs:
I haven't inserted vz sim yet at all. I received K update at first boot and then M update next day.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
I am a bit confused because the help page from Google about system updates mentions that updates should come within 2 weeks of release, but could take longer depending on your carrier.

Not sure if my screenshot image is uploading or not. The quote from the help page is,

"Android updates: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, and Nexus 10 devices get the latest version of Android directly from Google. These devices will receive Android version updates for at least two years from when the device first became available on the Google Store.

Once an update is available, it can take up to two weeks for it to reach your device. Based on your carrier, it may take longer than two weeks after release to get an update."

So is Verizon involved or not? It's very confusing. And a bit disappointing to be so far behind on releases for a new Nexus. I've had my 6P for 5 days now on Verizon, but no update for me either. Still on MDA89D.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohlin5:
That's interesting....I wonder if it maybe has something to do with an update needing to be approved by a carrier, first? I honestly don't know that much about the process...I'm not sure if it just comes straight from Google, goes from Google to carriers for carrier certification and THEN Google ships it to those phones on that carrier, or if it just gets passed to the carrier and on to the phones on that carrier from the carrier themselves. Long story short it once again confirms that no wireless company sucks worse than Verizon. I suppose I should be happy that I even have a nexus with them but I can't bring myself to be grateful for them. Has anyone who hasn't gotten an update tried pulling your sim card and booting the phone up after that to see if it triggers any updates to come through? I feel like that information might help in troubleshooting.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
I tried pulling the sim and rebooting but still no update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1barlog17:
So ive had mine on Verizon for a week now from the moment i turned it on. I didn't know there was any updated available and i have been waiting for Wug NRT to update his toolkit for the N6P. i just noticed he did about an hour ago unlocked my bootloader and when it powered back up it had an update so i accepted it and when it rebooted im now running MDB08L ?! I haven't seen this version and on the Wug toolkit there is no option for it. Is this maybe an official build for Verizon? Has anyone else see this version or are running it on there device?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
I had my 64 gb for a few days only on wifi and never had an update either
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyjumpman:
Never had an update either after two weeks with both the 5x and the 6p on Verizon. Ended up flashing the factory images myself since it is a nexus after all ☺
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
I've had mine for a few days now with no update...on Fi! I'm sure it's just Google staggering the deployment. For some reason, I always seem to be at the tail end of the staggering.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainstalk:
You could always flash if you are impatient.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born<ICs:
.

No Verizon doesn't build it's all Google. I believe the current complete build is K.

OTA Updates L & M I believe are the new Monthly Security Updates. (Update site doesen't include info on update content)

As L & M were released on same day expect to got from D to K to M.

That's what I think I know anyway. lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
It's an algorithm based on IMEI. You'll get it eventually. The carrier doesn't have anything to do with it.

I will agree it seems to be taking longer this time than usual and I usually got them late on my N5. I'm still on old build as well.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john7760:
Mine updated this afternoon!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Actually the carrier does have something to do with it. They have to approve updates for phones on their networks, even if there is nothing for them to do with it. Better off just flashing them through twrp.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinert1:
Maybe try a factory reset and stick with Wi-Fi only and try for the update. That may take the carrier restrictions out of the equation...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olddog828:
Had a new sim sent from Verizon, and got an update 2 days after activation. It was not the M update but only got the L update. The update just appeared and said it was ready for installation. All my "check for software update" lead to a new time being displayed as to when I last checked. This definitely seems to be a hit or miss thing. Wonder if this is all because the phone is 2 weeks old and just getting started. I think a better test will be December and see how everyone does then with the update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I was stock but rooted and was getting constant nags that a system update was available. Was using my pre-activated VZW nano sim from my S6.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonnasmyladie:
The factory images of the updates are linked all over XDA just manually download them.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en&now=101001
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
To everyone who keeps saying, "just flash it yourself," not everyone wants to unlock their bootloader. I don't feel like erasing all my data at this point, which unlocking the bootloader does. An ota update would be much easier.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipnmike:
Does anyone know why some are getting the L build and some are getting the M build?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Then you will have to wait until it rolls out.

You can't force it to happen earlier. If you want OTA, then you just need to be patient.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
I'm not on verizon and I still didn't received the november security patch updates yet either. so what i did was to manually set the time and date. I've set it to end of november and voila! security patch downloading. some may have to go further with the calendar but hey, it expedites the update process. once done, just recheck the automatically set time and day.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
Definitely going to try this when I get home. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebsammy:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
sorry to hear that. worked for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonnasmyladie:
I am currently updating. I just got my first OTA update and I've had the phone since October 23rd or so. So you may still get OTA updates just take awhile.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quie2TP:
I just got notified today for my update also, looks like "L" build.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
Yes, I understand that, but this thread is about Verizon, and if updates are delayed longer on that specific carrier or not. Nothing wrong with discussing that here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Carrier is not relevant.

The OTA isn't pushed by Verizon, it's pushed/notified via Google.

In the past it was based on MEID and not location or carrier.

I'm just poking around to see what's going on.

Mine is unlocked and flashed and I understand some people don't want to go through that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
That's cool. I'm mainly confused by Google's own help article which says that carrier CAN delay the update. See attachment for screenshot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
But most of those were sold by the carriers also.

If they don't come from the carrier, I'm not sure how a carrier can delay an OTA?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby janow:
So unlocked, not rooted got the OTA to K but not M yet. I d/l the factory M image and have it extracted. I don't like using scripts so which files do I need to fastboot in order to get up to M yet not lose any data? TIA Just tired of waiting already.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebsammy:
Now i can't manually check for updates since it thinks the last time i checked was 1/1/2016
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
I got the update yesterday without changing the date. It may have just been a coincidence.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheloniousMunch:
I got mine on the 29th, went to the Verizon store to get a new sim which was activated in the phone that evening.

I've had two updates since then, I'm on MDB08L which came after a couple of days (if I remember right) and security patch of November 1, which came on Sunday afternoon.

The only Verizon "side effect" I think I'm seeing is Visual Voicemail text messages.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinTech:
I took my Verizon sim card out of the phone, checked for updates on WIFI, and got the update right away. Odd.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman16000:
UPDATE:

I finally received on OTA update. But it's only version MDB08L. The hell!! According to the factory images page, I'm still 1 release behind. I think Android has some serious update issues. A non-carrier branded phone should represent the best Google has to offer and have the best chance in getting quick updates. Imagine if your Chrome Browser handled updates like this? Done in batches and over a period of weeks. As an engineer, I'd really like to understand this process better and what are the challenges because from my standpoint, this just seems sadly broken. </end_rant>

Anyway still loving the phone and I can only hope the update process will improve with time. At least with a great phone like this, I have the option of flashing it myself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby janow:
I agree. Or at least make it available if you check for updates. The amount of time I wasted was just not worth it and I manually installed the M version just a bit ago. Took all of 10 minutes with wiping cache too. I flashed everything even though I probably didn't need to wipe cache, install bootloader, radio etc. Figured it was good practice anyway. Left userdata alone and now I'm not checking again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
Just got the OTA update and installed. Build MDB08L. Didn't do anything special, other than waiting. My SIM is from my previous Verizon Droid Maxx. So all is right in my world now ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappadappa:
And my husband just received his 6P from FedEx today, activated it with his previous phone's Verizon nano SIM installed, and got the update right away. Go figure.
