Great job. I'm pretty sure you can downgrade it by flashing.
I heard that Google only rolled out 5.0.1 factory images for N9, N7 and N10. Where did you get 5.0.1 for N6 anyway?
Xda
Where else do you get roms
Google+ ?

Hello,
I have been searching and looking. Is there a way to get the lollipop on a n900a? If so, what needs to be done? I don't think it's as simple as flashing the Cyanogenmod12 on a rooted 4.4.4. Any links or ideas how to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
no. not until att releases an update.
How about using a safestrap?
nope. we need a leak or official release that has a kernel for lollipop.
Did you have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 and then upgrade to 4.4.4 with the stock kernel just curious. I seen that you were running a rooted 4.4.4?

There's a leak already here on xda, not yet for us, I wish somebody would make it work for us . http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
RoloRacer on KillerKat Note 3
So disappointed that AT&T are dragging there feet on releasing Lollipop 5.0
Wish we could find a version out there for SM900A
Still looking for a complete guide to getting on a working version of 5.0+ rooted, xposed sm-900A... even if it requires Odin's great wrath.
Behold... It Works...

The only issue I'm having is the mic... other than that, I've got it rooted although SS won't work on this version... supposedly.
Enjoy.
I have a factory shipped nexus 6 that i've been using since day one. I've never updated the firmware nor been promted to, mainly because I'm rooted and running custom roms. I'm currently running Pure 5.1.1
My question is... there is no straight upgrade from LYZ28J to MRA58K. Furthermore, I'm looking at sprints site and they dont list LYZ28J as their firmware, and in-fact its a t-mobile firmware. Is it displaying LYZ28J because of my rom? Do i have to upgrade from LYZ28J -> LYZ28K -> LYZ28M -> MRA58K ??

Over in the other forum, you didn't mention that you were rooted and running a custom ROM. You will never get an OTA installed while in that state. OTAs require a stock target device.
Also, this seems to solve the mystery of how you came to be running a T-Mobile build on Sprint. That obviously was a property of the custom ROM you installed. Sprint did not ship it that way.

No. You can't use any of the stock OTA updates on a modded phone.
Once you cross over into the world of custom ROMs, you will never get another automatic update from Google. The ROM developer you went with is responsible for incorporating updates from Google into an updated ROM. ( I see that the Pure Nexus ROM has been updated.)
And you are responsible for flashing that updated ROM manually.

Everything suddenly makes perfect sense.
If you want back to stock, you just download and flash it yourself... and if your doing that no reason not to just go straight to the latest.
I've been rooted since KitKat (4.4), currently on Lollipop (5.0) and I believe my bootloader is still unlocked. How do I confirm this?
I'd like to upgrade it to Marshmallow 6.0/6.0.1, if that's possible. Any recommended path to the soft goodness of MM?
Of course.
Step 1: Don't

Well now because there are not official builds just yet, the ones uploaded were just test builds that apparently work smoothly but some apps don't work (android pay), if you manage to update and the official build comes out you will have to back up your data and wipe over and over again.
And you will also lose that sweet root permanently.
Hello,
I bought unlocked galaxy note 4 from best buy. model number is N910T2. this phone came with kitkat 4.4.4, i would like to update it to lollipop.
when i tried to do software update through the phone itself was telling me its up to date. kies3 also didn't give any updates.
does any one know how get this phone updated?
Thank you,
Damn shun
I believe that's a rent a center phone that was never updated and is stuck on 4.4.4. For those with the 910t, we can flash that from 6.0.1 and it works just fine but t3 units can't. I don't know about going to up'er firmwares but you could try Odin and flash 5.1.1 DOK for the tmobile 910t, let me know how that goes. If that doesn't work flash twrp recovery on 4.4.4 build from here
http://twrp.me/
Then go here and flash this rom and be good to go.

Good luck.

Cuz I have flashed 910t2 firmware on my 910t so I'm sure the reverse applies so do it in odin!
yeah i own a 910t2 from rent a center you can flash all the same firmware i have odin flashed every firmware since kit kat and tons of custom stuff just treat it as a normal tmo note 4. the only one thats different is the t3
Treat this phone as if it were an N910T. I bought it a few weeks ago from Best Buy, and so far I have successfully flashed DOK2 and EPE3 firmware (modems/bootloaders, as well as full firmware) with no issues using Odin 3.11.1. EPG2 flash failed the only time I tried it (not sure if incompatible or just a one-off).
ROMs I've ran so far are: FireKat (Nadia kernel required), CMRemix, Beanstalk, TEKXodus HYBRID N4 URv7.4R2, N5 Express 3.4D, and Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2.
Kernels I've ran are: Nadia Nightly r7 [OG1], BeastMode 1.9.2 Rage [DOK2], BeastMode r56.8 Rage [PE3], Emotion nightly r23 RC1 [DOK2], Emotion Stable r26 RC1 [PE3], and BeastMode Stock SimplyRoot [DOK2]. All kernels I've tried have worked just fine except for the Emotion kernels - my phone would not deep sleep with either one, and I tried the 5.1.1 kernel on multiple ROMs with same result (which made me sad because I really want the DT2W feature..).
Currently on the TEKXodus ROM with the BeastMode Stock SimplyRoot kernel and it's running like a champ.
Hello there everyone!!
We have two Nexus 6 in the house, both at the moment running the superb six rom, but my wife does not like nougat, and loves lollipop and marshmallow, I think you can just download a marshmallow ROM and flash.....is this true? And the same for lollipop? Or do you need to flash completely a new firmware image? Bootloader is unlocked
You can flash a MM ROM and MM Gapps.

That's what I do when I get tired of nougant, I just flash MM, vice versa.

What about Lollipop? The Nexus 6 originally came with Lollipop. Can I flash a Lollipop rom on my Shamu despite the fact that I have upgraded all the way up to 7.1.1 Nougat? Bootloader is unlocked.
Personally, I miss the days of KitKat OS on Android.

I'm pretty sure that you can flash any ROM as long as its for the nexus 6. My favorite ROM was KitKat and always will be my favorite! But yeah, if you are rooted flash away my friend, any ROM ya want. If you are on nougant you may wanna update you're radio and baseband to the newest version? If you are on nougant and wanna go back to lollipop you may wanna consult a pro, and ask if there is anything you need to flash besides a LL ROM just to be safe. I know I was on nougant and I updated my radio/base to the newest version, then I flashed a MM ROM and everything worked great. You may be good though, I would just ask a dev just to be sure. I have a little knowledge but I still consider myself a newbie because I don't know squat,lol. J/K I know a little.. Don't flash anything until you get a second opinion. I don't want you mad at me if ya break ya phone.

Don't attempt to downgrade the Nexus 6 bootloader though, that's a good way to brick the device.
