I have a t-mobile HTC One. My job has google apps/gmail for our email service and to connect to it they have a policy in place via google policy device manager to force android device encryption if you connect to it. And I must have my work email on my phone.
I hate the stock 4.2.1 that came with my HTC One (for all the reasons everyone hates it) so I rooted it and tried a few roms. I really liked Maximus and Android Revolution roms based on 4.3 but my problem is that everytime there is an update to the rom I am unable to install it without wiping the device first due to the device encryption. Its a big pain because there is an update almost weekly.
Is there anyway that anyone knows of that I can run any rom with the android device encryption so I wont have this issue? I have looked at TWRP and it seems they have the feature to access encrypted devices built into the nexus version but not the M7 HTC One so I am at a road block with that and I am thinking I have to give up on roms..
If I cant use a rom I am considering going to either the converting to a 4.3 Google Play Edition or trying to load the factory unrooted 4.3 sense based ruu.
Does anyone out there have any experience with device encryption?

It's installed and I thank you for showing me but I still need access to my calendar, gdrive, and gtalk/hangout.

Hello guys. Just bought 2 days a go a new Nexus 6. Blue with 32Gb, unlocked.
Tottaly sealed, broke the seal myself, straight from Google.
But the phone says it is updated, and finds no new update. Im on LMY47D with Android 5.1 and I dont even receive 5.1.1
Tried factory reset without SIM Card, cleaning Framework and reboot without card, everything. To no avail.
Any idea what is going on? Shouldnt I get at least Android 5.1.1?
PS: I know I can sideload it, but still, something is clearly wrong, and I would like very much to sort it out.
Thank you very much.
Same issue here. Only I'm on 5.0 and can't find any update and I would prefer to not sideload already.
if you want your phone to check for an update, you have to be on WiFi. if in youre on network instead, itll always say up to date.
I'm on wifi. It still shows no update.
Same situation, on Wifi offcourse.

Try a factory reset, then remove your carrier SIM and power up on WiFi. My bet is that your N6 will start churning through OTAs in sequence. Not sure that you will get all the way to Marshmallow 6.0, because that last OTA is still being rolled out.
Already did it... waste of time, no updates
If your not willing to simply download and flash the images from googles website, that is your choice... but there is nothing to do but wait.
Hi Guys I am in the same boat, brand new n6 on 5.0.1 and saying up todate . In uk and carrier is Virgin if that helps.

Something strange is definately happening with Google update servers...
same dilemma and same version as op..
Personally I was like you all. I got my nice shiny new n6 from verizon (free upgrade...) Got it home kept pressing check for updates. Tried all the clearing app data from frameworks and all that.
But in the end I sideloaded it. I documented it over on the OTA url post. It is not that hard, just need some time. If you don't want to wait it might be your only option.
Total time invested was probably 1.5 hours. Downloaded all the files to my laptop and started using WUGFresh.
Stop waiting and update manually? It's not difficult, you can even save your userdata by not flashing it. There are different (and possibly easier) ways to install an update other than sideloading. especially when you can skip all the OTAs and flash directly to 6.0.
No need for a tool kit and it won't take much longer than the time it takes for you to download the factory image and extract the files.
The point is that there might be something wrong with Google's OTA servers.
Or maybe something is wrong about these phones ?

Thats my point exactly. What if theres something wrong with the phone?
Google should clarify why old updates are not being delivered... not even questioning 6.0, but 5.1.1
same issue on new nexus 6 of my girlfriend. I manually sideloaded up to 5.1.1 (it's the international version) and now she's waiting for 6.0

Why not sideload 6.0

Why is Google not delivering OTA updates to these N6 owners ?
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
Because there were a couple of security updates between 5.1.1 and 6.0 (as far AS I remember on my N6) and because I want to be sure OTA works!
This issue is becoming more and more coomon. Lot's of people complaining on several forums about this issue.
At least its easy to see something is clearly wrong with the OTA's, since no one is getting any. There is people stuck on 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.1, etc whichever came preinstalled stays without updates.
Hello all, I have a Nexus 6 and I'm using it on Verizon's network. I have yet to receive the Android 7.0 OTA update. Should I have gotten this already or is there something possibly wrong with my situation? I've searched online and it seems like I should have gotten the update already. I appreciate any help.
You should have had it by now (unless you have modified your phone in any way that might interfere with the OTA process)
Your best bet would be to sideload the OTA from https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Yeah, it's a bone stock Nexus 6. I got it from Amazon around this time last year, and I received the 6.0.1 OTA update and I receive the android security patch updates. Just no update to 7.0.
When my Australian carrier delays updates I used to change my SIM to a foreign one (cambodia, vietnam, thailand, or whatever) and the update used to immediately appear. The SIM doesn't even need to be active.
Now that Google publish the OTA files, it's easier just to sideload it.
Anyway, try a different SIM (t-mobile or whatever you can find locally) and see if it appears (you need to reboot). Otherwise, Verizon only just approved the update a few days ago so might take a while to roll out to you.
I think that there are a lot of N6 (mine is on T-mobile) out there that have not seen an OTA. I got the 6.01 November secuity patch last week. Was expecting 7.0.
I went ahead and did a sideload of the OTA 7.0. This won't break any future OTA updates, will it?

Ah.. I'm kind out of the loop these days, but I thought the Nexus devices got their updates straight from the Google. So I figured the carrier had nothing to do with how or when you got your updates.

The updates come from Google, but some carriers in some countries require an approval process (it's the same for Apple iphone, but is done more seamlessly and under NDA). Here in Australia, any devices sold by a carrier must go thru an approval process to make sure the software doesn't violate any compliance regulations (such as ability for emergency calling when no sim is present). Once Google get the go-ahead, they push the update to the phone with the relevant sim card in (or in some cases the IMEI). This can sometimes (dependant on current software version) be bypassed by changing the sim to one that doesnt require approval or has already been approved. Bear in mind however, you may get a software build not intended for your carrier.

Hey, thanks! I guess I just needed to wait a little while longer haha. I just finished the sideload and everything seems to be working well. Do you know if the sideload process somehow breaks future OTA updates?

Nope, the sideload doesn't break future OTA updates (however it theoretically could if you flashed a build not intended for your carrier, however usually Google just send a 'Full OTA' which a large download to your device to get it back on the correct build).
Enjoy.

I always lose root when flashing an image or installing an OTA update. It is normal for that to happen. You just need to root your phone again by installing SuperSU . The latest version is SuperSU v2.78 SR5 and can be found here.
I joined (then left) the Beta program so i can get a stable release of 7.0 Nougat a little over a month ago. Good so far but what I'm concerned about is security patches. Ever since I got on Nougat, my N6 no longer gets OTA security patches. I'm still on the October security patch. Anyone know what's going on?
Regardless, even with a mod'd phone, I got the 7.0 nag 2 weeks ago - which spurred me to wipe everything and flash it with NRT.

Hello All,
Just as the title says, I am trying to return to complete stock on my Nexus 6. I am going to be selling it.
The problem is, that I used NRT to put it to stock with the latest factory security patches for Jan.
But since then, it isn't downloading any of the new security updates? I would like to make is completely stock again.
I'm having trouble with NRT, and the guides that are currently out there are for an older version of Android SDK.
Can you please help me out?
Thanks!
-Jason

Never bother with a tool kit. Because of things just like this.
Download the full OS from google and then flash it in download mode.
Make sure to remove the device (in the settings) from your google account other wise google FRP will kick in. This will cause huge issues when selling the device.
Hello Everyone!
I've recently stripped away all of the Google Apps and some 'essential' packages that were installed on my Pixel device since I'm currently unable to unlock the device's bootloader (carrier device). Anyway, everything is working superbly, and I have a DNS filter activated to prevent some of my apps from transferring data online.
I wanted to update my Pixel device to Android 11, especially because of wireless ADB but I'm not able to find any option to update throughout the device settings. I'm pretty sure that this is due to one of the packages that I disabled/user uninstalled but I'm not too sure which one? I hope that someone can help me out and save me from hours of going through the stuff that I disabled and finding the package that prevents me from updating. I've thought about Play Services but I'm not too sure about whether that would have an impact.
Also, it's not NetGuard because I disabled it and I still don't get any options or notifications to update my phone.

Sideload the full OTA from Recovery. You can do this with a locked bootloader. Search "rescue ota".
