This is a better tutorial if you are completely stock (not rooted, bootloader locked). You don't need to do the whole install thing like the video shows. Just download and extract the platform tools in this thread to your computer and put the OTA zip file in the same directory once you download it.

anyone want to flash any custom kernel

should wait for updated custom kernel to arrive

as it seems google did some changes that made sound disappear if flashed older kernel on stock 7.1.1

and if you are on custom 7.1.1 don't flash newer kernel because sound will disappear
[Nexus 6  General] BlockOfDynamite:
oops. I figured that one out the hard way. (yeah thanks elementalX for saying you're compatible with 7.1.1). Once it's actually updated for 7.1.1, will a dirty flash of the custom kernel fix the sound issue?

Edit: Apparently an old version of the kernel got flashed. Flashed the latest one and sound started working again.
[Nexus 6  General] astaccz:
My cell signal and speakerphone is messed up on the 7.1.1 update. I even tried flashing the 7.0 radio on top of 7.1.1. Cell signal is messed up for me. I referred back to full 7.0 and everything back to normal. Something is screwy with the 7.1.1. At least for me.
[Nexus 6  General] galapagos:
The latest Elemental X works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
are you on stock 7.1.1 or custom

i am on stock with latest radio and kernel ex 4.16

every thing works for me

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

if you're using custom rom

flash 4.15 it will work

when your rom update ther files go to 4.16
[Nexus 6  General] bdcrim:
On Sprint in Texas with no issues. I am guessing you tried Network Settings Reset and Update Carrier Settings?
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
yeah i meant older versions like 4.15 break the sound
[Nexus 6  General] astaccz:
On Full stock. Nothing custom at all. Not sure what the problem is. The speakerphone problems is only when using speakerphone on a call. Otherwise music etc is fine. I tried flashing back to 7.0 radio on top of 7.1.1. But same issue. Flashing back to 7.0 fixes everything.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
oh i just tried the speaker phone i have the problem too

i though that you meant the speakers on music

i didn't notice until now

[Nexus 6  General] buge boyo:
Don't worry I've sorted it out.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
I updated with the OTA through ADB. The radio and signal strength seems the same. I'm on Fi. I like the new 7.1.1 features and the quick options on the app icons. I will miss the night mode. I wish there was a way to have nightmode on 7.1.1. It worked so well in the betas and on 7.0. I hate that they took it away.

I'm hoping (and dreaming) the phone behaves better below 40% battery. I feel like with the switch to 7.0 I noticed the cpu throttling a lot more. below 20% the phone is so laggy. I wish there was a setting to turn it off. I know there is a zip that can be flashed, but I'm on a locked bootloader so I can use android pay.
[Nexus 6  General] astaccz:
How is the speakerphone working for you in calls?
[Nexus 6  General] lordneopt:
Echoes everything.
[Nexus 6  General] Techbyte:
Just flashed 7.1.1 to my Nexus 6!

This is my second Nexus 6. I originally had a 32GB Midnight Blue model. I sold it and purchased a 64GB Cloud White when Amazon had them for $250! I only regret not purchasing more.... I am going to purchase a new back plate and battery for it. With 7.1.1 and a new battery it should breathe new life into it.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
I don't use it often, but did a test call and it seemed fine.
[Nexus 6  General] lordneopt:
The person on the other side didn't complaint of an echo?

Google did something with the audio routing that is messing up the speakerphone at my side. That or they ****ed up the noise cancelation like on my older 6P.
[Nexus 6  General] bdcrim:
Same issue here.
[Nexus 6  General] tlegutko:
same issue here with other side hearing themselves using speakerphone :(.

on the other hand, the camera launches noticeably faster! and in general it seems to be a little more responsive
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
Got sound problems on both speaker and no-speaker during calls. I can hear them fine but other side has echo problems and a noise during calls.

Not sure if i am happy with the update or should i say a downgrade in sound quality
[Nexus 6  General] prdog1:

[Nexus 6  General] walletless:
Flashed OTA.. but if I flash TWRP to recovery (fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img), I end up in boot loop. Any one else unable to put TWRP after flashing 7.1.1?
[Nexus 6  General] dcoulombe:
Same thing on my side. Excellent audio quality on the phone, but completely unusable on the speakerphone. Camera launch faster than ever before.
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
Just so I'm clear. The audio issue is with the speakerphone only. Regular headset audio is fine as is bluetooth audio through headphones, an earpiece or built-in car system. Is that right based on the experiences people have had so far? I never use speakerphone but headset and bluetooth in my car are critical.
[Nexus 6  General] dcoulombe:
I didn't try using bluetooth yet, but regular headset was crystal clear for me. Will do more testing with bluetooth and post back.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

I've done more tests.

In summary, all the calls I made were clear if not made using the speakerphone.

From best to worst :

- Regular hanset (usable, call quality is perfect)

- Car bluetooth, 2009 mazda 6 GT with premium Bose sound system (usable, call quality is great)

- Samsung HS3000 Stereo Headset with Samsung hands free wired headphones (usable, call quality is good)

- Samsung hands free wired headphones that came with a Samsung Galaxy S4 (usable, call quality is OK)

- Speakerphone (unusable, echo/feedback shouting in the ear of the other party)

Hope that helps.

And I tried to use the speakerphone in safe mode, no change at all. Still unusable. So it's not a 3rd party app problem...
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
Thanks! That absolutely helps. Appreciate you following up. I'm going to flash the OTA a little later today.
[Nexus 6  General] dcoulombe:
Don't forget to backup, just in case...

[Nexus 6  General] hormosapiens:
I was on Pure Nexus 7.1.1

adb stock 7.1.1 from a Chromebook running Xubuntu with adb fastboot tools and after reboot I was stuck on boot screen where it shows Google logo and the unlock bootloader on the bottom symbol. I never got to the colorful dots when it loads the OS.

So I went beck to 7.0 same method and it worked.

No idea what went wrong. will probably flash TWRP and check other roms later.
[Nexus 6  General] walletless:
Thanks! That worked :)
[Nexus 6  General] t0p8uzz:
I usually use NRT to flash images and use the no-force encryption option which downloads the unencrypted boot image and it does it all for me. I suspect Wug isnt going to update the masterlist for NRT seen as he aint been on in a while so I wonder if there is an "easy" way to do this?

Can I just extra factory image, the zip inside, and then replace the boot.img with the Gerard non-encrypted boot.img file?
[Nexus 6  General] Sugarkryptonite:
Can anyone confirm that normal phone has no problems with callers on the other end? I know speakerphone has that problem but if regular phone and Bluetooth work fine I'll still upgrade because I never use speakerphone.

[Nexus 6  General] sam008:
Guys - is it okay to just sign onto the google beta program and do an OTA update for 7.1.1 vs downloading image and flashing it

Also, will it by default remove my root? I actually want to and be able to use android payments

Thx
[Nexus 6  General] sanumaj:
Beta program does not necessarily push an update in 24 hours as claimed. It did for me in 7.0 but not for 7.1.1 which I had to flash the OTA.

The root should mostly stay intact.... Only rooted after 7

.1.1 to flash the Pixel update. Not 100% sure but root should be OK if you only do the OTA
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
Thanks for testing - I use speakerphone most of the time, so will put off the update unless and until a resolution is found.

Any news on no force encryption patch for 7.1.1?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Having issues with Nexus 6

I want to flash the last 7.1.1, wen from marshmallow to nougat through the Beta program, but with the beta program I started to have update issues for OTA, no more OTA for me, so I hade to leave the program and it got the official versión Nougat 7, the November patches, NBD91P

My issues are with the ADB, I have tried in Windows 7, in 2 different Windows 10 machines, a laptop and desktop, with the new ADB that are now stand alone... got them from the lifehacker article , So I tested in a Linux laptop with no success at all.

I follow the proceduce, OEM unlock, USB debug, triggered every USB option there MTP; PTP, in the windows machines I deleted the drivers because it detects a lemobile driver, installed the google drivers, and everything there works ok, the adb devices command works, it shows me the device, after I hit the adb reboot bootloader, the phone goes into bootloader mode, and well thats where ADB does not find the phone anymore and Im stuck, got the linux laptop and I get stuck in the same spot.

Please help
[Nexus 6  General] Sugarkryptonite:
What do you mean when you say ADB doesn't find the phone anymore? As in when you do "adb devices" when it's in the bootloader it doesn't show the device ID? I think that's normal and happens to me, too. You can still flash, though.
[Nexus 6  General] Didgeridoohan:
You can't use ADB in bootloader mode, only fastboot.
[Nexus 6  General] Sugarkryptonite:
Oh yes you're right. "fastboot flash radio" etc.
[Nexus 6  General] :
When I use fastboot, because I tested it, it says waiting for devices
[Nexus 6  General] Onebryteday:
I always check that adb shows my n6 by entering: adb devices

If you get your serial number back then boot into bootloader mode.

Then do a: fastboot devices

It should show the same serial number. :)

Here you go!

HI,

I have a solution which I use now, i'm rooted on 7.1.1 and flashed the Viper4Android cleaner first and then the mod itself from TWRP. Everything is working as it is supposed to.

If you want to try it do the following:-

1. Obtain root using NRT software with custom TWRP recovery and Busybox selected. Boot into system and update the SU binaries and update/install the latest Busybox by opening the app.

2. Go here for download and flash it first in TWRP : https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-cleaner-v1-2-android-7-x-t3482211

3. Then go here for download and flash right after step 2 without rebooting : https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-audio-mod-android-7-0-t3474901

4. Don't clear cache/dalvik just boot into system and profit!!!

Don't forget to thank those nice guys who made this possible!!!

Love,

Syed
[Nexus 6  General] Dopamin3:
Use any custom kernel and it will not force encrypt you. This kernel is similar to stock but not force encrypted. So just flash that in recovery (or extract boot.img and fastboot flash it) before booting into the OS and you will not get encrypted.
[Nexus 6  General] sam008:
guys - I upgraded to 7.1.1 and wish to use Android pay and my phone is not rooted but it has an unlocked bootloader. If I lock the bootloader, would it pose any other issues?

On doing fastboot oem lock, I get this prompt

"device state transition will erase userdata"

Thx
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
If you re-lock your bootloader you will loose all your data. But why would you want to do that? On my Nexus 6 I keep my bootloader unlocked all the time, in case I'm going to need to flash something later on.

And if I can remember correctly, you don't need a locked bootloader to have Android Pay up and running (or to receive OTA updates straight from Google). But where I live, we don't have android pay options so I cannot be 100% sure for that.

Hope this helped. Cheers
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
Did anyone get the OTA yet?
[Nexus 6  General] rishabh1500:
Not yet. Still waiting:angel:
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
Why not just download the OTA from Google developer images page and then sideload it?
[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
Is there a kernel with zero modifications except the no force encryption like we always got after every release? Tried looking but couldn't find.
[Nexus 6  General] ZombieUsr:
Yeah a custom kernel wouldn't work for me since I'm no longer rooted with a locked bootloader. Just wanted to k ow if a patch was created yet for 7.1.1
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:

Does anybody know of a way to bring back night mode in 7.1.1? Night mode enabler no longer works. Perhaps now it's time to get off stock and get onto a ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] josephh71:
I used this Method

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NUeeGMMQdw or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxjRjx6SP0

I used an app called Night Mode by Curiosity in the Play Store
[Nexus 6  General] jefflikesbagels:
That app adds an icon, but I do not believe it is the built in function that Android has. It only appears to change the RGB values, much like the dozens of blue light filter apps already on the play store, and does not affect the nav bar.

The night mode enabler by Mike Evans previously worked on 7.0, but no longer does on 7.1. This changes the screen color system wide, with the added benefit of auto reducing screen brightness.
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
U can use this zip from this thread https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3532951 , it give you night light, Google asst, and all the other pixel features if you like

Finally getting time to sideload the OTA. I'm currently signed up in the beta program and still on NBD90Z with October's updates. I'm going to unenroll from the beta program. Should I do that before or after sideloading the OTA? Don't want to wipe my phone so worried about what will happen when I opt out in either case.
[Nexus 6  General] rishabh1500:
Coz Never tried doing that :p . And don't want to format my phone ? .

HAS ANYONE RECIEVED THE OTA ????
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Yes, many of us have because we have taken the trouble to learn how to sideload it. It's not difficult. There are lots of guides and help on this forum for people with questions. And you don't have to format your phone - the OTA doesn't touch your existing data or apps.
[Nexus 6  General] quicksilver53:
I side loaded the OTA while still in the beta program with no problems.
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
Is the rollout really happening? The forum is quite silent on this, and no update received in my device yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
Just install it yourself like so many others did then. :)

Google even tells you how to on their OTA download page: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
Yeah I know. I am not sideloading yet, thanks to the speakerphone bug. I was wondering if Google halted the rollout and fix it.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
Good point. Doesn't sound completely unlikely.
[Nexus 6  General] alexcolka:
Let's hope for a new 7.1.1 build with February security patch. I'm skipping January's.
[Nexus 6  General] Didgeridoohan:
Fixing the speakerphone bug is quite trivial actually if you're rooted. It's just a matter of adding two lines to mixer_paths.xml. I used this Magisk module: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/mod-speakerphone-echo-fix-nexus-6-t3537776, but it's also quite easy to just push an edited file and set the permissions yourself.
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Does that fix disable the bottom speaker during speakerphone calls or does it still have both speakers active?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
"Does that fix disable the bottom speaker during speakerphone calls or does it still have both speakers active? "

I'm confused. What difference does it make as long as it resolves the problem?
[Nexus 6  General] Didgeridoohan:
As above, not that it really matters but the bottom speaker is disabled during speakerphone calls (with the fix). I can honestly say I've never noticed if it's been on or off before...

[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
So some people are having issues with speakerphone...... Is there any real reason to jump on this build and flash it? Anything new besides the radio change?

So, what's the deal?

Any issues with speakerphone?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
I haven't noticed anything so far, running great. Is the speaker phone issue on their end? I haven't tested it, but tried calling an automated number on speak phone, and had no issue. It seems to work well!
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
The speakerphone problem was fixed in the March update, and affected only the listener, not the person using the N6. It would be inconceivable for Google to reintroduce the same bug.

Edit: Ah, I see. [MENTION=5507007]clauss2004[/MENTION] used a January thread, full of speakerphone bug descriptions, to announce the May update. Possibly a new thread would have avoided this confusion.
[Nexus 6  General] classic757:
Thanks for this info.

Also, which firmware build number do I need to download? I am using the xt1103 U.S. version of the Nexus 6 that is currently running Nougat 7.0, build number NBD92G.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I'm in the UK, so I wouldn't be confident of giving you that info, but I'm sure the question has already been answered somewhere. I see that Google have issued only one May update - N6F27C- so maybe that answers the question anyway... :)

Personally (if I weren't on Pure Nexus) I would take a TWRP 3.1 backup (always back up), save it to my PC for safety, and sideload the OTA. I did this many times when Google first issued full OTAs, and they're excellent - no loss of data or apps, you simply boot back into the same screen as you had before. On most occasions the only difference I saw was the change of version number and date in Settings, but maybe that's because I'm inattentive... :)

[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
What about trying the OTA? It won't wipe your phone, so unless you have a particular need to do that then it's worth a go.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
After flashing the April Factory Image i used the OTA. worked without a problem.

I did do the complete fresh install to completely refresh the phone and start with a clean sheet. Guess in the future i let the sheet stay a bit dirty :p
