Flashed the whole image minus user. All is well, no issues. Had to reinstall drivers to flash recovery. Seems to be a new adb recovery driver.
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
Same. Mine just popped. So much for the conspiracy theorists...
[Nexus 6  General] stevemw:
Yes. The build is NBD90Z whereas the build for the 6P is NRD90T and NRD90R for the Nexus 9. Strange...
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
The 6P got NBD90X today. I'm trying to download it from a hotel so I can install it. LOL. Of course I didn't bring my NX6 with me to update it from DP5. That'll have to wait til I get home later in the week.

Side note, has anyone checked the baseband version vs that of DP5? I suspect it's new.
[Nexus 6  General] Yasharkhan:
got the ota last night, i was rooted with no recovery, update got installed but had to factory reset because google said my data wasnt encrypted and couldnt use my phone without resetting it, still worth it, now hopefully we will get 7.1 today and i can root my phone then
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
Congrats everyone, finally. Whine no more.. Closing thread. Further discussion will be on this thread

Offical Nougat image for Nexus 6 now available!
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
Not true without a link. If it had even been leaked about a release it would have been all over the net.

It will be here when Google says so and no sooner.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
Yes probably right. I'm just anxious
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
All I want is an official statement on what the hold up is. I don't even want an ETA, just an acknowledgement to their customers that they are working on the issue causing the delay.
[Nexus 6  General] mikaole:
You know that Google didn't even mentioned the N release for nexus 6 yet. All that was announced was 6P AND 5X.

Only official announcement was 3rd quarter. So they have time till the end of September.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I am not going to look anymore if the OTA or factory image is online. Its been over 2 weeks since the 5x and pixel c got android 7. The only thing Google said that the 6p and 6 will receive it but in which century that will be they dont say.
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
It is just so odd that they didn't do all at once. I was actually expecting after the Pixel announcement but hoping sooner but giving to the 5x and other devices threw that out the window.
[Nexus 6  General] snowrelyt:
What do you mean? The Nexus twitter has mentioned Nougat for N6 loads of times.
[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
They only mention we will get it. Not when. They are good with their words.

As of right now QC has not finished the drivers and we probably wont see Nougat for the N6 till October when the Pixel devices are announced which will be build number 7.0.1
[Nexus 6  General] oOflyeyesOo:
I am okay with it, if they get all of the features that were states, new launcher would be nice too.

Edit: 69, hehehe...back to work.
[Nexus 6  General] Herohtar:
From http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2016/08/taking-final-wrapper-off-of-nougat.html: (Posted Aug 22, emphasis added)
[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
Key word is "several" weeks. They still havent gave us a day just a range of dates. That's why we wont see it till October around the new pixel announcement date.

Again, they are very careful of their words when replying on twitter. Like the Nexus 6

WILL

get N along with 6P.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
I think I agree. I might have to use the build called "Useless Nougat"...he claims he incorporated the NRD90S patches into it. I still am unsure if it is stable or not since the newest build could have Gapp issues (I am scared to just flash it over DP5 since I am not sure I can get back to DP5 if it messes up. I have yet to figure out how to make a backup from twrp that goes to my laptop since the sdcard is full and I do not wanna just wipe it. Anyone suggest anything for how to do that? THX
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
USB drive from twrp?
[Nexus 6  General] mchlbenner:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58653833

I would try this one.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
That is only a kernel bro....not a whole rom....if you mean uberstock....I have no info about what OS version it is and zero info about if it has been tested at all. I am kinda scared to just install it onto my device.
[Nexus 6  General] mchlbenner:
Yes it is a whole ROM and I'm running it.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
Uberstock

Oh ok. So what does the info say in about phone? What build?
[Nexus 6  General] HueyT:
AOSP 7.0 with MM blobs to allow VZW call audio to work (vs DP5 blobs of this ROM with VZW call audio bug where audio can only be heard via speakerphone, headphones, or BT)
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
MM Blobs

I do not see a logical reason to use this if it uses old blobs. I gain nothing. I might try it if I can restore back to DP5. I shall decide later.
[Nexus 6  General] jk8260:
Your best option is to get a nice OTG cable from Amazon (under $5), plug a SD card in one end (many come with a USB adapter) and then in TWRP from the backup screen select the button 'Select Storage' and you will see the external SD card listed there select it and you are good to go, it will backup straight to the external SD. Restoring is the same way. Note that if you need something off the internal SD you will need to 'Select Storage' back. It works great I do it all the time since once I accidentally wiped my internal storage and lost everything.
[Nexus 6  General] nakamoniel:
I think another better (Less risky route) is to install UselessNougat on Multirom, I have both Chroma and Nougat roms running supersmooth (Chroma in primary, Nougat in secondary). I would be honest, i am not going to make nougat my daily driver till some STABLE ROM comes across, but i wasnt going to deny myself Nougat love either, one of the main reasons i am on nexus phone, and MultiRom/XDA Devs takes care of it beautifully.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Nougat signs

Its a joke, but i had to post this.

[Nexus 6  General] Colmb:
Just got a notification on my N6 that there was a system update available.....BRILLIANT, I thought, just the Sept security update for Marshmallow.....the big G really knows how to tease!!

(phone is stock, not rooted, sim free, not enrolled in dev preview, located in Ireland)
[Nexus 6  General] jmartin72:
The Google page that has all the system images changed the "last updated" date to today's date, but no knew images. I'm not sure why it did this.

UPDATE: the 6p image is up. Hopefully the 6 won't be far behind.
[Nexus 6  General] Voight Kampff:
How long has the 7.0 factory image (NRD90U) been out for the 6p?
[Nexus 6  General] quaman:
Yesterday I think
[Nexus 6  General] daddygene:
6P OTA Just posted today...
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Incorrect. Google just posted them at 7:37pm (EST)

Now just release the factory images for the nexus 6 Google. So these threads can die.
[Nexus 6  General] waleedshiekh:
Factory image for Nexus 6p released. Now only our very own Shamu left.
[Nexus 6  General] jmartin72:
The Nexus 9 LTE is left too.
[Nexus 6  General] schmoo:

[Nexus 6  General] oOflyeyesOo:
Yeah, it isnt on the OTA section. Just wait, will be soon enough.
[Nexus 6  General] Poojan Patel:
Just few more days and we will have taste of nougat.?
[Nexus 6  General] idbl_fanatic:
Hopefully Systemless Xposed gets working with 7
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Nothing for the Nexus 6 yet.
[Nexus 6  General] aroy97:
Lol would be hilarious if they release it for the N9 LTE before the 6
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I wouldn't be suprised if they did and let us wait till last
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
According to VZW, the Nougat update is coming on Monday (9/12) for us NX6 owners. Info posted on another site.
[Nexus 6  General] quaman:
How can you say that without providing a link my God
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
Until I see it on the official page it isn't true. I certainly won't be holding my breath at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] demonlordoftheround:

[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
I just got this email from google...
[Nexus 6  General] lgmayka:
I have two Nexus 6 phones, both originally AT&T-locked but now unlocked.

One of them was activated on AT&T immediately. It is stuck at the "May 1, 2016" patch level, build MOB30I. "Your system is up to date". :(

The other Nexus 6 was originally activated via WiFi only. It updated itself repeatedly, all the way to "August 5, 2016". I then moved my AT&T nanoSIM to this phone, just to make sure the phone worked correctly on AT&T. It did, but the AT&T usage apparently "contaminated" it such that it did not receive a September patch. Just today, I enrolled this phone in the Android Beta program, which installed NPD90G and a patch level of "July 5, 2016".

Am I correct that:

- The second phone (already in the Beta program) will get the final Nougat as soon as anyone does?

- The first phone may wait months until AT&T finally approves Nougat--unless I move that phone to the Beta program also?
[Nexus 6  General] mikehunt666:
According to what rule, exactly?
[Nexus 6  General] Borderpatrol1987:
You can always post links. Just not to spam sites.
[Nexus 6  General] sashank:
Well, all they've posted is that date. They haven't mentioned what update it is. It could be Nougat or it could be the September security update (MOB31E/MMB30W). Let's wait and see.

http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/software-updates/
[Nexus 6  General] siggey:
If you follow the link on verizon site you can find that the update is..... MOB30W.....
[Nexus 6  General] alex482:
epic fail
[Nexus 6  General] welxiii:
it's still satisfying to know that we will get it earlier than most of the phones out there, so chill.
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
Haha haha.....Maybe!
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Ok guys. Come one really. It is not the end of the world. Go out and enjoy the real world. Before you know it the update will be pushed.

Also as for people complaining about not posting links.

1. Links are allowed.

2. Do your own home work. If you hear something then do some research. I mean really how lazy have we become?
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
The no links thing made me LOL. If they had read trough any posts at all it would be obvious links are everywhere. I care less about the OTA/Factory Image and more about the blobs and kernel source so we can get the ball rolling on the 3rd party ROMs.
[Nexus 6  General] sashank:
Sigh... that's because they haven't updated the page yet. -___-

It still shows the current version MOB30W, which they will update to Nougat or MOB31E presumably on Monday when either one starts rolling out. The speculation is about the posted date of the update, which is a future date of September 12th, 2016 (Monday). Not about the current build number listed there. I thought that was pretty self-explanatory.
[Nexus 6  General] jmartin72:
The Update is going to be the September security update. No Way Verizon posts it before Google does, and they won't post it the same day.
[Nexus 6  General] blanco2701:
Telus announced Nougat for August 22 and they were spot on, so maybe when google releases a factory image is when it's already been tested by the phone companies.

Right now it says that the 6p will get it tomorrow too, so maybe that's an indicator that our nexus 6 will get it too.

http://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566
[Nexus 6  General] jmartin72:
Telus is not Verizon. Big Red has never posted an update the same day as Google. As much as I want it to be Nougat, I'm certain it will be the September security update. That's not to say Google doesn't post it tomorrow on their developer site, I hope they do, but Verizon won't be.
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
A person I met at a party yesterday works for Google, develops parts of the play services framework. He saw me on my N6 and asked "still waiting on the N update?" and then said that from what he knew, the delay was mostly (but not entirely) because of the recent updates Google made for eliminating the stagefright vulnerabilities - https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-09-01.html

I met him for the first time yesterday, so I don't know how much he knows, but he seemed to think that N6 would finally get updated this week (he said "early in the week"). I'd take it with a grain of salt - he isn't part of the deployment team, so he may be mistaken.

I'm still holding on to "it will be released when it is released, and no sooner than that" :)

(and when I asked him about the play services battery drain issue that seems to be an issue very often, he laughed and said "no comment")
[Nexus 6  General] aroy97:
Lol, I bet you 10 bucks the play services battery drain issue is what they're trying to fix before release

[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I don't think we will get it today.
[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
The rumor based on VZW site was for the maintenance release of marshmallow.
[Nexus 6  General] oOflyeyesOo:
Yeah I did see that, there was also someone who said they heard from a google dev, that it could be early this week.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Three weeks is beyond a joke... ludicrous. This begins to look like the Apple cone of silence.

Get it done or explain why it can't happen, Google. Enough already.
[Nexus 6  General] calebv2:
Dude they said it would come in the coming weeks. It's only been 3 weeks. Coming weeks can mean anything. They never gave a specific date so just chill out.
[Nexus 6  General] brando21:
Nexus to Pixle. Google dragging feet on updates for actual Nexus phones. Nexus 6 no guaranteed software upgrades past October. Sound like we have been through this before with a thing called healthcare. We aren't getting it.

Let's leave the political BS out of XDA discussions. Yes it is frustrating but there isn't anything anyone but Google can do about it and when they say it is ready we will have it.
[Nexus 6  General] quadcrap1:
Assuredly someone at Verizon got fired for jumping the gun after that...
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I don't believe that we will get the update anymore. Its been 3 weeks since they launched android 7. That there isn't a word from Google why the N6 hasn't received the update does not surprise me.

Who on here has software background? Software coding takes time you can get to launch and one minor bug can tear it all apart, they will get it to us calm down I want it too but if rather have our last update be a good one than a flawed one
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I don't believe its a software problem. Its been 3 weeks since they launched android N. You can't tell me that a company like Google doesn't have the expertise and manpower to fix a software problem in almost 3,5 weeks. Or did they assign 1 person to it who is working only on Tuesday and Thursday morning for 2 hours?

I will get a pushbulllet notification when it is out, until then i keep running android M on my N6
[Nexus 6  General] vasolini:
I've been running the last preview (5) on mine for the last 3 weeks. I don't mind waiting if there are issues they want to correct. Although, that doesn't I'm not checking the images link several times a day!
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
If it's an external issue, such as getting updated drivers, then there's not much Google can really do about it. Our device is getting close to end of life, however, so it's likely the biggest priority for Google given they're about to launch a new line of devices in a couple weeks.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I hate to break it to you but as you said that it's so close to EOL it will be at the bottom of priority list. Google's new devices are at the top. This one is most likely along the lines of if it gets it then it gets it, if not we'll Oh well.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
Why on earth would they release previews if they never had the intention to release an official release?
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I'm sure the users of the Sony device that got all the previews but was dropped from the official release are asking the same thing.
[Nexus 6  General] blanco2701:
If I recall correctly, last year the Nexus 5 got 6.0 way faster than the Nexus 6 being a year older, so I guess the Nexus 6 never got the love it deserves.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

I wouldn't compare Google to Sony. Google already said that it's coming to the Nexus 6, perhaps it would be the first time they announce something and then take it back?
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Look at the makers of the devices. Once moto was sold to Lenovo I kinda knew it was gonna be an issue.

No would t be the first time Google said something and then took it back.
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
Google has announced repeatedly that the 6 is getting it. Including their own twitter account over the last few days. There is a delay, nothing more than that.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
I don't see why that would be the case. Google has full spec on the device, motorola/lenovo hasn't anything to do with the phone at this point -- its in google's hands.
[Nexus 6  General] bcs296:
Does anyone have the DP5 image and wouldn't mind throwing it on Drive? I am running one of the earlier previews and would like to at least run DP5 while I wait for the official release, but I can't find the image anywhere now that Google has taken the preview page down.

[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
Oh I'm fully aware. I'm not one for staying on an eol device for very long anyway. Might check out the new pixel devices. But I'd like to see this update fly since this thing runs so well on preview 5.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Because any new updated drivers would have to go through Lenovo for approval. Normal business practices when rights to the device are sold.

Like with most things. It's a hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Like with the ccmt root options. We all knew it was coming so in prep I learned to work without root until another viable option comes up.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
And that is why new devices are released every 6 months. Nothing wrong with the device and you will be able to stay up to date for a long time to come. Just need to put in some work.

I'm following alot of devs and not getting the pixel devices and might go with Sony when I do update in a couple of years.
[Nexus 6  General] lordneopt:
This is how you update your devices Crapoogle.

I hate Apple, but they said the update should be pushed 18:00H and hey, its here in time to the second.

Fail Google.
[Nexus 6  General] smokinjoe2122:
Remember when iOS 8 first came out and all the problems\bugs that came with it? I do, because I had an iPhone at that time. Just because something was pushed out to all users at the same time, doesn't mean it was necessarily a good idea.

Wait for Google to fix whatever problems are holding up the update. I don't want to deal with bugs anymore, even if it means getting the build a week or so sooner.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
As much as you are right on. Not dealing with bugs will be a problem. Android will always have bugs just like every other os out there. Humans are not perfect and as such the code they write won't be perfect either. Then you add in the hacks they will have to do for things that this device won't get that was built into 7.0 like seamless updates and the new Vulcan stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] lordneopt:
I'm not saying it will be perfect, however they pushed it in time, they are top doing this. Bugs or not they are not liers. And yes, it's a second generation iPad, so not a newer device just like the N6. Still deserves Apple respect on updates.

Google stopped the OTA for my Nexus 6P to fix "bugs" like you say. So now, weeks later they published the factory image and resumed the OTA, and guess what, it still has lots of problems with wakelocks and no bugs were fixed.

With my Nexus 6 we still got nothing. They could push the ota or release the factory image. They are not fixing anything, they are just plain incompetent.

They should at least release the final blobs and update the build tree.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Older phones as N6 do not have priority.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Qualcomm is about to release the Vulkan driver in a few, so, I will rather wait for CyanogenMod 14.

Any CyanogenMod derivatives usually have better performance compared to AOSP, not to mention you have the template to add your own bells and whistles.
[Nexus 6  General] mikehunt666:
Why I agree with you that is reality at Google, that's is just an excuse and shows how incompetent they are surrounding these updates.

If Apple can release an update for every iPhone at the same time, Google certainly can.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
Was discussing this with a friend and he thinks that it will be released for N6 with the next monthly security update, so that will be Oct 3

Hope he is wrong on that, because that would mean another 3 weeks waiting.

[Nexus 6  General] thetransit123:
i think the same, google will release the update with the presentation of pixel phones, the famous question: will be 7.0 or 7.1?
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
I prefer quality over marketing bullwhack. And ETAs are made by the sales and marketing department, and never by engineering. Each new release is full of compromises, because if people are not buying the software the company goes broke. I know I've been working as a software developer for more than fifteen years.

So if your OTA was pulled, it wasn't because the Illuminati and the Freemasons are after you, but because it stank. And if it still has bugs, then you can imagine what it was like before that.
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
I didn't think the Vulcan driver was coming to the NX6? If they're releasing it, maybe that's what Google is waiting for. That would be quite the surprise. Unless I'm completely misreading what you're saying here...
