Pretty sure the 2GB and 4GB models use the same firmware, as long as you use RETUS firmware your good. All the firmware we have is posted here or on https://firmware.center
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
As far as I know, the latest US retail firmware build is NPN25.137-83, which is present in the link provided by acejavelin. Double check the name to confirm if it's the Amazon prime (should have AMZ in the name, which should be the same as your software channel and be the device with adverts on the lock screen) build or the retail builds. As with flashing anything, double check it's the build you require.

I would like to get Sprint's on demand back onto my DCD rom'ed phone. I really liked everything about it, I didn't see any other aftermarket options that looked as good as the Sprint one did. Can anyone point me to, or send me the cab file that will let me put it back onto my phone?

Hello, im thinking of purchasing my first Android in awhile. im able to get a Nexus 6 64gb sealed for $200. any other options that do not surpass $350 or im i getting a good deal. Any help will be nice.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
Don't get those sealed new boxes on eBay. Every single one of them are fake. I bought two and returned both. They are ALL used, refurbished items packaged very meticulously using the clone packaging red paper wrap.

Here is what I did. Looked up on Amazon for deals from Amazon warehouse. That's the only partially more dependable place you can look into for peace of mind. If anyone says, BRAND NEW, simply ignore. Use common sense.

I bought a Like New Cloud White from aforementioned place for 202. Came exactly as advertised. It was stuck on 5.1 from May of 2015. Absolutely unused. I contacted Motorola to see the warranty status. It expired in Feb of last year.

I updated it to the 7.1.1 yesterday and have been happy with my experience of purchasing. Best part? I have 30 days to return this. I'm still in talks with Motorola to give me some sort of warranty on possible future issues ( since I bought it like new from Amazon). Long shot but still...

Stay away from the eBay deals.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
In many ways, the Nexus 6 is still a good phone. At a good price, I recommend getting a used one. Of course, you need to like the screen size, and do without a fingerprint scanner.

You will probably need to replace the battery soon. Not expensive, and not too difficult to do yourself if you are careful.

Also, the N6 is 32 bit. Not a problem today, but a few years from now, it may mean that not all new apps can run on the phone.

I just bought a Nexus 6 in 2018.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/391877228362

Coming from Hong Kong but the seller assured me it will be sealed.

Reasons why I bought it

High specs

Awesome display

Cheap from this person, ($90 cheaper than Amazon)

As much as I love my Nexus 6 it is getting a little long in the tooth. I'm not planning on upgrading until the 2018 pixels come out (if they put Qi back in)

I'd buy a refurb replacement to get me through to October but I have a spare right now so, barring two calamities in the next 9 months, I should be OK.

I bought a new Shamu from someone on the letgo app. I paid $175. In front of the guy I opened the unopened new box, cutting the tape. Put my sim card and it works. Phone, charger everything was wrapped and new. I brought it home unlocked bootloader, twrp, and now running 8.1 I believe I got a sweet deal. I've known never to use eBay. Amazon is sweet for it's return policy on used stuff. but buying from other people is cheaper and you can meet at a public spot and test phone before you buy. With the same app I sold my oneplus 5t for $450 prior to buying this Shamu today. I've had this phone and I just had to come back to it for the right price. Well I live in Chicago so there's someone hustling stuff. Just shoot an offer, low ball and you might get a decent price. Yeah, buying this phone in 2018 is still good.

A new phone needs to be charged before it can be used.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=528201]NLBeev[/MENTION]: A new device will come with a partially charged battery, roughly 40 to 50%. He'll want to top off the battery of course, which I think is what you meant to say, but there would be sufficient energy in the battery - even after two years - to power up the device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinez5241:
Your right, We had to plug it up and wait a few minutes before the screen would power up. I didn't want to go into detail of everything I did...

When I bought my taimen phone last year new in box from Google it arrived and it had a 41% when I powered it on (my fav #). And the OnePlus 5t came with charge also from oneplus. Some newer phones have charge on battery.

With the Shamu I wasn't expecting it to be charged nor have juice to power up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcore:
Seems like a bad idea. for that much money, you could get a new phone.

The shamu is great, but with my SOT being 3 hours or less, I am beginning to hate it. Cant replace battery, which leaves me to hate sealed battery phones even more.

Probably going to get a phone with a replaceable battery, even if it is a dumb phone. I am tired of planned obsolecence. My biggest issue is screen decay. My phone has horrible burn in.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
Any of these NEW items is not new. Think about it. 2014 device brand new and sealed, no one opened or touched it, flew through scores of virtual and physical space untouched and landed in your lap 4 years later??? yea, pigs fly. I asked Motorola to share the IMEI associated warranty of mine. It said the warranty expired 2017 Feb. I haggled with them about buying it new from Amazon. With some back and forth, I was able to get one year warranty provided I kept the receipt.

So, in short

STAY away from new items of Nexus 6 on Ebay. They are not new. If the price--199--is too good to be true, it is. HongKong ones are even worse...right from the den of counterfeit items.

I went back to N6 because of front facing stereo, HUGE screen (not the fancy 16:9), quad HD, awesome battery, and above all, Pure Android. I am not a narcissist, so I can live with a 2MP selfie camera on this one. Good luck finding all these in one device (unless you are super duper rich and can afford to shell out $920 out of pocket for an unlocked Pixel 2 XL)

Well, today either my usb cable broke, which I doubt, or the charging port of my nexus is dead.

While I could fix both the battery and charging port, in the mean time, I just ordered a Lenovo Moto G5 and a bunch of charging cables. The G5 isnt meant for me, but might aswell get one for myself. Why such a budget phone you ask? It has a removable battery.

The problem isnt the technical skills(Bunch of youtube videos say very precisely how to fix stuff), I lack parts.

Appart from aliexpress and ebay, I know not of any other place to get parts. Im in central europe btw.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_SU01:
Understood! However I did buy a nexus 6 from eBay for 204. I had a good talk with the seller about what kind of warranty I would be getting,and I took screen shots of the messages we had so I could have them for future,if any issues arises. I did get a 1yr warranty. This is what the seller told me. The first 3 months was free repair or a full refund, and he would pay for the shipping. The remaining 9 months covers any kind of damage cracked screen damaged digitizer,dings and dents all covered but no refund offered for the remaining 9 months,and he would still pay to have the device shipped. I love the nexus 6 I have owned several. I also like how easy they are to work on. I had a few midnight blue devices, well I got tired of looking at the blue so I changed the back battery cover and mid-frame assembly to cloud white, I have used the back battery cover from the moto x pure ed 2015 also just to change up the overall look of my N6. I also like the front facing speakers the speaker grills are also replaceable I usually take them out from time to time and clean around the area were the grill snaps in. The device is also very good on battery life, if 7a know how to root and unlock the bootloader. I believe I'll be happy with the device as long as I get what I was promised. My dream device is either the international s8+ or the note 8,but I'm just like you I can't afford spend noore than about 200 ta 250 bucks. I want the international variants because unlock the bootloaders and rooting is a priority for me. Thanks for the reply, have a good one!

[MENTION=4805244]sdg1980[/MENTION] When I get my nexus 6 from eBay I am gonna do like you done and call Motorola and tell them that I want a warranty. Sounds like a good idea as long as I have a solid warranty I'm good. What all did you tell Motorola to make them give you a warranty?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
Good luck getting them to honor the warranty. Telling you they will and doing it when the time comes are two different things.

My Nexus 6 was bought sealed, brand new from eBay in 2015. It was one of those US stores that purchased phones in bulk. Dealer said it would come with full 1 year warranty but nope Motorola said the warranty starts when the dealer purchased. I ended with something like 9+ months warranty. Thankfully I never had to use it, deal with that headache.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
Micro USB is designed with the fragile part in the plug on the cable, while the socket on the phone is supposed to be more durable. So your first assumption should always be a cable fault.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_SU01:
If it is the USB port then it'll have to be replaced. I don't know why manufacturers don't use flex cables for the USB ports. Instead they use soldering. In order to remove the USB port of the nexus 6 you'll have to use a heat gun to loosen the solder. I would also highly recommend using caption tape to protect from the heat around the port. There are some good YouTube videos on how to do this. I hope it's just your cable.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
I just told them that Amazon is an authorized retailer that sells other Moto phones, so it is only natural that they "honor" purchase from a legitimate vendor like Amazon. I am skeptical if they will honor an Ebay purchase. My other parent companies in the past--HTC, Samsung, etc--did not honor warranty for Ebay phone purchases for anything. So, if I were you, I'd hope and approach Motorola but be mindful that the request most likely will not be honored.

Just got a Moto G5.

I have to say, for a budget phone, it looks great. Is snappy, and has a removable battery and fingerprint sensor.

To have a removable in 2018 is a luxury feature.

Yes, the new cable I bought from amazon works great now. The phone works, but I bought a Moto G5 along aswell.

Quite impressed by a 2017 budget phone, fingerprint sensor + removable battery plus near stock rom.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 93zx7:
I was going to purchase a nexus 6 64GB parts phone or just the logic board and swap it into my existing 32GB model. Battery was going to be replaced with a new one too while I had the phone apart. I haven't noticed any battery degradation. Just piece of mind doing so. I'm not too fond of the Pixel line. But OP phones have always been an alternative for me. I plan on purchasing a 5T. OP5 is a secondary choice as well.

If I were to purchase a N6 64GB in 2018, it would either be from Amazon, eBay, or Swappa. Amazon and Swappa are no brainers. I've had much success with Swappa. I have bought several used phones and a N7 (2013) tab from Swappa sellers. All were received as listed. Amazon does have reasonable deals on their N6. But it would be my last resort if I couldn't find anything on Swappa or eBay.

eBay. I used to sell parts phones for FMV through a job I used to work at. I have bought many devices and sold many of those same devices. I'm more comfortable with eBay that most. Here are my guidelines when I shop on eBay:

The listing details are equally important to the photos that uploaded with the listing.

If the listing doesn't explicitly state something is functional or not functional, I ask the seller that question.

If it doesn't list what other items come with the phone/device upon purchase, I ask the that question.

If there is an angle of the device that is not part of the photo lineup or the photos that are present are really bad quality, I ask the seller for that photo to be uploaded and/or better quality photos to be uploaded. It is always a possibility that there is a cosmetic defect that they are trying to hide.

Listings with "stock" photos are equal to listings without photos of the actual item you are buying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_SU01:
I know some of you told me so, and rub it in. I really had confidence in the seller I purchased my N6 from the communication was really good and assured me I had 3onths to get a full refund. Well I think I probably got burned. The seller on eBay lied to me about it being a new device. First thing when it arrived the box the nexus came in was not the original box, there was no sleeve. The color saturation is very high, I also can not change the DPI using terminal emu (I'm rooted and BL-unlocked), it says bad size when typing wm size 1080×1440, then when I reboot it bootloops and I have to turn off the device. I have tried textdroid DPI and it doesn't work either. I have flashed 2 different ROMs so far and both of them freeze up sometimes and reboots my device. Its just acting funny doing weird things like not letting me change the DPI or screen size. Could it be the battery? I hate to send it back because iv already spent about 40 bucks on cases & skins..I just awhile ago sent the seller a message telling him the problems I was having, I'm waiting on a response just to see what he replies....I haven't left a review or feedback yet on his listing but I'm probably going to. Oh I about forgot, the Motorola charging brick that came with the device didn't even work it was broken!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would wipe the whole phone, sideload the most recent 7.1.1 ota download From google. Once that is done, then see how its acting. Flash some ROMs and see how it is from there. People root their phones and don't know what they're doing and **** them up. Could be something as little as something's missing they deleted using a root explorer aimlessly. Going back to a stock firmware would replace anything missing. And they prob used some jank kingroot or some garbage like that hence issues. OR the phone is screwed up and nothing will help. But if it were me I'd start with that and go from there, that way u can cross off those types of issues.

Thank you, I will work on this over the weekend and I will also report back with the results. To the issues I was having a many. I hope this works because I really don't wanna have to ship it back. It just pisses me off because the seller told me it was a brand new device and I believed him, I was warned that eBay does not sell new Nexus 6 devices and I should have listened.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
That's not what I would do. I would use the last factory image and set the device up as "new". Read the flashing instructions on that page, they are accurate and well written. The N6 is an "old" device as related to the unlock instructions. Though it sounds like your device is already bootloader unlocked. This process will replace twrp with stock recovery.

Then make sure everything works as it should.

If you're happy that the device works, then you can go to the last several posts of The Nexus 6 All-In-One Beginner's Guide where you'll find instructions to reinstall twrp and root if you want to.

I'm in the process of flashing the image....

Edit,

I ended up flashing RR ROM along with gapps, I backed out of flashing the image. But after I installed using ADB when I hit reboot in twrp it still said no OS installed, I hit reboot anyway and it booted up into RR. I wonder why it said no OS installed. Before after flashing the ROM I wanted I had the blue tooth icon visible in the status bar, NFC would not work either, and NFC still doesn't work. There was a lot of little things that wasn't right about this device, the color saturations was really rich also. And when charging the device would get really hot to the touch. Can't figure out why NFC isn't working, I don't use it anyway but I would like it to work. After about 5 mins of playing around with the device it is very warm to the touch, it should not be warm at all because it's not charging. Battery maybe...

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_SU01:
I figured out why NFC is not working on my N6. I just checked with NFC check app and it says. Mifare classic and Mifare ultralight cards not supported (this usually means that the NFC chip used in this device is not from NXP). I don't understand why it wouldn't be from NXP, that's crazy lol. What kinda device do I have, I'm tempted to take the logic board out and throw it in the friggin trash and buy another on. This is really pissing me off. The seller on eBay hasn't gotten a review from me yet, I'm holding out because if I return this piece of s#$! I don't want any issues getting my 200 bucks back. Thing is he says it's not his fault, because he says that he orders them from a distributor in China. I do know I will never make a mistake like this again.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
These are the reasons for going full stock. It makes sure things like the bootloader are fully current. NFC works on stock, but *many* ROMs are having trouble with it.

Hi, sorry for the delay in reply.

yes, I did some searching on my own because I was looking for a back up for my Shamu with another one. Can you tell how much I love this phone? :p:p

Anyways, the seller you are talking about is New York zip code based Chinese seller. He has had 820 positive reviews against 8 negative in the last year. Currently he is selling the N6 for $209 with "360 day warrenty." I am thinking of biting the bullet with this seller because no other seller is giving the N6 more than 60 days warranty. For one, I don't think there is any brand new handset sealed from Google waiting for one of us to open out there. May be Amazon directly (not their warehouse) might have, but still there, I highly doubt it.

How long did it take you to swap out the battery? Was it doable? the fifteen mt video on Youtube looked easy but intimidating in what might happen...

I am so enamored of N6 because of three things--pure Google AND front facing speakers AND respectable Snapdragon processor AND unparalleled screen size so far of any of the phones in the market till date. This actually is the biggest screen of any phone (overall--length and width and display combined) if you discount Xiaomi's 6.4 inch 1080p Mi Max or the Mate 9 (again, 1080p). 16:9 ratio screens these days, to me, seem fanciful and more gimmicky and I have handled quite a few at different stores and but they feel like those elementary school wooden rulers used for geometry class--thin and long. Next thing you know, for the sake of reachability with your hands, manufacturers will actually start making even narrower handsets in 2019. I digress.....

Bottom line is let me know the condition of your phone that you bought from this seller and if it looked like new or is in mint condition. I will jump the ship with this guy as well because of what he has promised to you.

I also contacted Motorola and now they are denying to honor the warranty I was promised by another rep. Now they are saying that my Amazon receipt needs to have the IMEI on it to update the warranty status. So, no go for me.
