[Nexus 6  General] krowley3:
Safetynet still fails. I setup AP before installing OTA and I no longer get the rooted, unlocked gibberish from AP. I have not been able to test at terminal.
[Nexus 6  General] seph13x:
Yeah, I've been here. It will fail at the terminal. You can test this out by trying to add a new card in Android Pay, you'll get the usual rejection message. I think Google can update the safety check on the server side to pass whatever is causing 7.1.1 March to fail, hopefully. For now I've flashed back to 6.0.1, I need Android Pay and speakerphone/reliable performance, this seemed like the only option.
[Nexus 6  General] kevoroid:
Im currently on 7.1.1 (N6F26Q), so do I need to flash/sideload 7.1.1 (N6F26R) first and then 7.1.1 (N6F26U) or I can go ahead right away with 7.1.1 (N6F26U) and skipping 7.1.1 (N6F26R)?
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Go ahead with 7.1.1 (N6F26U), no need to flash/sideload 7.1.1 (N6F26R) first.
[Nexus 6  General] Axel85:
Anyone on the march update can confirm the Bluetooth bug/do not disturb started by wear/Bluetooth random switch off is solved?
[Nexus 6  General] SFVDan:
I am! As of this morning, after flashing yesterday, Android Pay thinks I'm on a rooted/unlocked bootloader/custom ROM and won't run. Samsung Pay, OTOH, works fine. COMPLETELY stock with locked bootloader, too. N6F26U

Oh, and I had killer bluetooth issues until I was forced to do a factory reset last night. I was not pleased.
[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
For those who have flashed, do you now have Google Assistant? I was expecting and waiting for an app update to bring it, but after flashing the March OTA I now have Assistant.
[Nexus 6  General] BaumerS4:
I've downloaded the OTA, but can't figure out how to sideload it in TWRP. I reboot into recovery using ADB commands, but when I select sideload in TWRP the device can't be seen any longer, so the command line just says devices not found when I try to send the OTA.

Has anyone else had issues with this? Is there any other way to update without having to download the full package and wipe the phone?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Different cable/USB port? Obvious things first... :) since sometimes I have to connect the USB directly into my laptop instead of via a USB hub.

Is the device seen in "adb devices" before you start sideload in TWRP? It seems unlikely that TWRP sideload is losing the connection if it exists beforehand.
[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
I can't stress this enough, FlashFire's app is amazing for flashing OTAs. No need to boot into recovery, just open the app, locate the downloaded OTA, and let the app do it's thing.
[Nexus 6  General] debido666:
And it will re-root if you're rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] Dixon Butz:
Plus, it will re-install TWRP if you have it installed. It did for me.

It will flash the stock recovery to flash the OTA. I think. Could be wrong.

I used FlashFire. It was so easy and super fast. The first boot after flashing was slow. But there was no "Android is updating app xx of 102 apps" after booting. That saved a lot of time.
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
I flashed it last night. Now, no ringer or alarms.
[Nexus 6  General] Dixon Butz:
All fine here.

Do you have ringers in your list?
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
Yes I do. They're turned on in settings. I'm not in do not disturb. Noticed it this morning when the alarm went off. It vibrated but didn't make a sound.
[Nexus 6  General] Dixon Butz:
Press volume up while the alarm is vibrating.

Or press volume and press the down arrow on the on-screen slider and set the alarm volume
[Nexus 6  General] gk1984:
Happened to me too. Turns out you need a kernel updated with the March security update or speaker audio won't work
[Nexus 6  General] Dixon Butz:
Speaker works fine here. Alarms, apps, and ringers.
[Nexus 6  General] BigDig:
Yes you do. That's a common sense...
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
Did they remove the link for the factory image? It's not showing up under the factory images. N6f26u. I see the 7.0.0 updates for March for att only and then the generic one. And I also see the March marshmallow update.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Yeah looks like they removed it. Also removed the OTA file and Binaries too.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
Wonder if it was because of the SafetyNet/Android Pay issues..
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
Anybody have the March update file? seems like google remove the file
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
I'm on a train with patchy internet so i cant check, but the original ota file name is

shamu-ota-n6f26u-62ac8549.zip

You should be able to work out the path if they haven't completely removed it. They might have just removed the link.
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
Yea it's gone
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
I do have a copy of it. Will take ages to upload though on my crappy internet.
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
So why has it been pulled? I was going to flash it this weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] athulele:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-n6f26u-factory-6e52aa95.zip

The link still works though, I haven't had any problems with the build so far.

EDIT: Can't say anything about Android Pay as it is not available in my country.
[Nexus 6  General] Didgeridoohan:
Probably got pulled because they forgot to CTS certify the build. :D

No, I've no idea, but the SafetyNet issue seems like a good bet to why they pulled it.
[Nexus 6  General] ProBird79:
It looks like the OTA has been pulled from their website. I went there to download and check if the radio and bootloader is new but the build isn't there. At least I found my answer in this thread...
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
I just adb sideloaded the ota for N6F26U and can confirm the Android Pay issue.
[Nexus 6  General] gk1984:
I've been having random reboots on the March update in addition to not passing safetynet. They probably really messed something up.
[Nexus 6  General] matthewdavis:
I got it before they pulled it and bootloader and modem haven't changed.
[Nexus 6  General] Note10.1Dude:
OK, I'm glad I held off on sideloading this. Triggering a security flag would break all of my corporate use of my phone.
[Nexus 6  General] amberwp:

[Nexus 6  General] BigDig:
User error. My phone is working fine
[Nexus 6  General] Arju:
Did you flash any custom kernel that has not been updated in March?
[Nexus 6  General] ms2003:
I just flashed cool Pixel mod, I will try a factory reset then.

Anyone notice if Bluetooth wakelocks continue?
[Nexus 6  General] demonlordoftheround:
Turn off Instant tethering in the Google app settings. No more Bluetooth drain. :)
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
no 7.1.1 for march?
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
I don't have an option for instant tethering
[Nexus 6  General] demonlordoftheround:
Damn, where is it? Bluetooth settings?

OK it is in the main settings menu, Google, instant tethering.
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
Me looking at the updates: yay! I can finally use my speaker phone again! YES THANK YOU GOOGLE.

Android pay is broken. "F***"
[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
Nothing new to all of you, but the March security update for the N6 has been pulled.

Google pulls March security update for Nexus 6, after it breaks SafetyNet and Android Pay
[Nexus 6  General] requiiiem:
Is ready the update.
[Nexus 6  General] dberthia:
Looks like the updates are available again. Same files. Also looks like Safety Net has been temporarily disabled on the back end. I was able to add a couple of cards to Android Pay on my rooted N6. I'm guessing I won't be able to use them when they turn SN back on?
[Nexus 6  General] jbaumert:
SHA-256 is a match for the full image I downloaded a couple of days ago.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
So what are we to infer from this? That Google are OK to break Android Pay? I couldn't care less, personally, since I'm too old-school to allow access to my bank with these new-fangled apps, but for the sake of clarity it would be nice to have a positive statement from Google about what's going on with this push/pull/push process. If Pay is broken, why represent the same broken image?
[Nexus 6  General] requiiiem:
Today with magisk, solved
[Nexus 6  General] kameleon25:
So you got this update with magisk and it passed safetynet right? Just making sure I read that right.
[Nexus 6  General] requiiiem:
After it was removed from the Google page, a few hours ago it became available again, I did a clean installation wait 30 minutes and Cts worked perfectly
[Nexus 6  General] kameleon25:
Just making sure before I update. Since it is a match from before I am safe to assume the speakerphone and bluetooth fixes are in place.
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
I already flashed the last image that was removed. If I'm understanding this right, the new one has the exact same hash and is the very same file, they just disabled safety net? Just making sure I got this right.
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Correct
[Nexus 6  General] Dhalsim43:
the march build is back but with the same build number ! so what should I do ? i had already sideloaded it the first day it was available so can I sideload it a second time despite it has the same build number ?

thanks for your advice
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
If you still have the original March OTA installed then it can do no harm to sideload the "new" one.

I must admit that I have no idea still what Google are up to. A bit of transparency would be nice. I can't see how they've managed to fix anything without changing the hash, and why would they just repost the same broken image...? It makes no sense to me.

Edit: from the Google log: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=231764

"#277 yellowst.. [MENTION=5499064]gmail.com[/MENTION]

I sideloaded the new and improved N6F26U a second time. Speakerphone echo issue is fixed AND Android Pay is working once more."
[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
Wait, hold on. Is SafetyNet disabled a function of this update, or is it separate? In other words, once I flash this update (again) and SafetyNet is disabled, can Google re-enable it outside of my flashing another future OTA?

Because if not, doesn't this become the greatest OTA ever?
[Nexus 6  General] Lawstorant:
I don't think so. That's why they needed to release "new" build.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Just to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone have any idea how this version can simultaneously have different code and the same hash? It doesn't seem very likely...
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
It's the same update, Google disabled safetynet on their side so everything would work. I'm on Gravedigger's version of the original March update, that has root & BusyBox in system and now Android Pay works for me too.
[Nexus 6  General] Imadroider:
Who is Gravedigger? A Dev? I can't find him or the rom.
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
He does the SkyDragon ROM for shamu

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/dec22-skydragon-shamu-marshmallow-v6-0-t3276665
[Nexus 6  General] Imadroider:
Yep. Just found it. Needed Gravedigger176 to find it. Nice. He doesn't even own the N6 anymore and did it up blind. With a new kernel from HolyAngel. Anyone interested check the last page for latest download links.
[Nexus 6  General] tyreman1:
I sideloaded the reposted image again. Must have been a reason they took it down and put it back up. Only they would know for sure I guess.
[Nexus 6  General] burninghouse:
can somebody pls confirm that the speakerphone issue on Volte calls like messenger and whatsapp are also fixed by google in this new update?
[Nexus 6  General] tyreman1:
Mine is okay but i dont use know what Volte calls is
[Nexus 6  General] vulcan001:
So I'm on PureNexus, could this be flashed on top of the current rom? I am facing some issues with my current ROM that during a phone call I cannot be heard nor can I hear the other person. Have flashed newer baseband & bootloader files.
[Nexus 6  General] wase4711:
nope cant flash it on top of PN
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Just out of curiosity, why not? Why would a flash of the stock OTA not work? Wipe, clean install, what would be the problem?
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
I don't believe any of the stock packages can be flashed from a custom recovery and no custom ROM can be flashed from the stock recovery. Don't know about fastboot flashing though.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
[MENTION=4275407]vulcan001[/MENTION]

I believe that the stock OTA could be ADB sideloaded without any problem. For completeness you should wipe system/cache/Dalvik first.

I flashed the system IMG and it broke my speakers all together. Nothing worked so I had to restore a nand.

[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
I am currently in nbd92d and tried sideloading n6f26u but got a error message saying can't sideload over a newer build, any idea what I am doing wrong?
[Nexus 6  General] Mrs_B:
I've been driven bonkers by this Bluetooth thing. I went back to 7.0 to fix speakerphone and Bluetooth, and bluetooth was worse! I've got AutomateIt Pro running to send a notification every time it goes off, and to turn it back on. It switched off 7 times in about 5 hours. This weekend I installed the new 7.1.1 and speakerphone echo is gone, and Bluetooth is MUCH better. It is coming on upon reboot and I've only had it turn off twice in 2 days. For now, I'll let AutomateIt run and catch the issues, and just check my watch for connectivity often.
[Nexus 6  General] FloatingFatMan:
I'm getting exactly the same thing, from the same build number. :(

Any ideas anyone?
[Nexus 6  General] tyreman1:
Thats for 7.0.0

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Maybe upload the last 7.0.0 update into your current 7.0.0 then try . There one there on nexus sideloads methinks
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
Any no force encryption yet for n6f26u ?
[Nexus 6  General] FloatingFatMan:
Tried updating to NBD92E, which worked OK but still won't let me update to N6F26U. Just says I have a newer build already...
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
It's because the NBD92D\E build dates are slightly newer than that of N6F26U. The OTA won't allow older builds.

N6F26U

[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
This system image plus Franco Kernel r65 and my speakerphone is fixed.
[Nexus 6  General] Biohaz7331:
So is there any way to flash the n6f26u if already on the nbd92d? Or are we forced to wait to receive the OTA through the typical manner? (Other than flashing full image or would that be the only way?)
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Unfortunately flashing the factory image is the only way until a newer build than N6F26U is released (on 3rd April 2017).
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
Unless you just extract the system.img and flash it thru adb
[Nexus 6  General] Biohaz7331:
Alright that's kind of what I was thinking. Will that update be for the nexus 6? I had heard that it would only be for newer nexus/pixel devices. If that update wouldn't be rolled out for the N6 would a newer build of 7.1.1 be released with new security updates?
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
There will be a new security update for 7.1.1 on 3rd April for Nexus 6. The other update is 7.1.2 which is not for Nexus 6 apparently.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

You need the boot.img too in order to update the kernel otherwise it wont boot, or be very broken.
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
Thanks. Looks like another long wait for us.
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
Mhmm weird I would always do that when updating security patch and it would be fine for me, never flashed the boot.img
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Then you would be missing many of the security patches as many are to the kernel itself. Kinda pointless flashing only system.img if you want the security patches...

If you try only flashing system.img to non-security updates (ie, upgrades), it will often fail with broken radio, bluetooth, or other functionality. YMMV.

I was running custom kernel that's y

[Nexus 6  General] FloatingFatMan:
Well that's irritating! What tit decided to rebuild an older version AFTER the newer one, and totally bugger up the OTA system? No wonder I've been waiting for months for 7.1.1 to appear OTA...

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Swan Princess:
Good evening folks.

My Note 4 perished by cat and I've settled on a Mate 9 as my replacement phone. I have a couple of questions to those who own it before purchase though.

1.) How easy does the camera glass scratch? That was quite the issue for my Note 4. Will I require a full case to avoid image quality degradation by scratches?

2.) Are the new phone cases (not refurbished) sealed in any fashion from the factory. There are no official outlets here and I'm worried about buying a refurbished dud.

3.) Does the white version really feel like it's made out of Ceramic?

4.) I'd love to see some .dng low light / night and landscape sample images I could do some Photoshop magic on. I'm a photographer at heart and can't quite find anything but .jpegs out there.

Your help would be much appreciated! ^v^

Here a low light raw pic https://www.mediafire.com/download/soa45631qw42i13
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Swan Princess:
Thank you very much for your reply! It seems that the raw files can't be opened in my favorite DXO Optics :( Played around with some Photosop. It seems quite formidable to preserve details, but I see some noise in the recovered shadows / flat dark areas. The white balance errs a bit on the cool side of things. And you have a very comfy looking sofa, that made me feel sleepy :>I guess I'll just have to get used to it. My main interests are weather photography, as well as landscapes. I am sure I can make it work for my purposes.

Does a lens correction profile exist for this camera at all?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
What do you mean by lens correction profile?

Do you need a preset correcting vignette and distortion?or you mean raw editor in Photoshop is limited?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Swan Princess:
I do mean correction of lens geometry and I guess vignetting as well yes. Does such a thing even exist for this model? In all other aspects it seems to be mostly like a professional camera. I also mean that Photoshop does not have the correction information for the shot, like say Nexus 6P has (at least judging by the list of supported cameras in PS).
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
In Photoshop there is lens correction in filters menu.

Yes exif data is not available,maybe need an updated camera raw software.

In my opinion the camera is very good and using the manual mode you can easily take great photos.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Swan Princess:
I also noticed that the JPEG processing algorithm does wonders to reduce the noise! Alas I'm very obsessed over shooting everything in .dng / RAW!

There is lens correction, but I can't find support for this phone / lens combination. Without such a profile the correction is useless. EXIF data is all there, as far as I can see with IrfanView and it all looks legit. Phone model, exposure time, F-Stop, etc. Why would you say EXIF isn't available? Can't you see it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
I couldn't see it in Photoshop but with acdsee pro it's there.

I was comparing the raw files from my p9 and it seems they are better than mate 9.

Not sure why but i will do more test tomorrow.

Could you set up a tripod then inside and take two same low light images on Mate 9 and P9 with the same settings and share with us please? Would be really nice!
