New 5.1.1 ota and Verizon users - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

We can just flash the new ota zip right ? We don't need to flash the T-Mobile radio too? Will this be the same ota we get in like six months cuz Verizon sucks ???

you can flash, but more providers will get otas within the next week or two, not months.

But will there be a difference from most of them ?. It'll all be 5.1.1

I'm on the new LYZ28E build and am on Verizon but I will certainly be changing over to the build released for Verizon phones in the coming weeks whenever it comes out.

Do you use vvm on the T-Mobile ota ???

Just my observation don't use the new radio firmware from this ota if you're on Verizon. Couldn't get a signal for over 5 min literally under a Verizon tower. Went back to the .98(or whatever the stock radio is for a vzw branded Nexus 6).

Anyone on Verizon that's using new T-Mobile ota please let me know if you use stock vzw vvm. And if it works.

Everything works fine on this new T-Mobile ROM for verizon users. All apps including vvm FYI. So when Verizon makes the new 5.1.1 ota idk what will be the benefit or reflashing to that.

They will. AT&T just released it for thiers a couple days ago being the 1st US carrier to do so. Verizon is usually the last to get us updates and we probably won't get it till the G3 is available, which is around July 17.

Was it just a patch for Knock Code or a general KK patch? Curious if Google Music is fixed too.

Dual-Booting

I'm looking for a way to dual boot, on the nexus 6. I've done some searching and it doesn't seem like any current ways are supported for this device. If anyone has any info that would be great.

Multirom is not available yet
Do we have an eta? Does anyone know? I'm running resurrection Rom and I love it, but I would like the ability to also update my prl on the go. I go in and out of service area a lot and updating the prl is a nice reset on my radio.

OTA 6.0

My phone is completely stock and still has not updated to marshmallow. Is there a reason? It received an update a couple days ago, but nothing really changed that I could see, still on 5.1.1. I know I could sideload OTA but I'm just wondering why it has come?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Because it has not yet been pushed to your phone?
That's my absolute best guess.
Thanks. Doesn't matter I guess anyways, I preordered the 6p anyways. I'll be selling this soon

No 6.0 on T-Mobile?

So I ordered my new Nexus 6 from Ebay brand new $300 shipped Then I find out that 6.0 is not even out yet for the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile, what the heck is that about? 6.0 came out like a month ago and all other Nexus devices are on it. What is going on with the T-Mobile version?

6.0 has been available for all carriers for a month or better. It's one unified build MRA58K 6.0.

sure, its out. you can get it right here and install it manually https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
tmobile might not have approved the update yet, just like verizon, att, and sprint. but it is out officially, and you can install it yourself easily.

No, nuh-uh, nope. All of the Android 5 updates had a T-Mo fork. It's becoming apparent that T-Mo is forking 6.0 for VoLTE and their own apps. I flashed the factory image of M from Google. It worked fine for about a month but I notice a few random reboots. It was annoying but not terrible. Then yesterday, my N6 started rebooting about every 5 minutes. I ran it in Safe Mode to see if an app was causing it but I was still getting the reboots. I thought that I might have a corrupt factory image. So I flashed an new download to the phone. Still no such luck. I finally downgraded to 5.1.1 and took all the OTA security patches. I'm already on the November patch but at least my phone is stable again. I think there may be some validity to the T-Mo N6 being a bit of a red-headed step child (aka VZW Galaxy Nexus).
Read through the various forums and T-Mo's own support site and you'll see that these reports are becoming more frequent where T-Mo N6 users flashing Marshmallow are ending up with a very less than stellar OS.

I've been running 6.0 on T-Mobile since it came out with no issues - B12, VoLTE, WiFi calling working perfectly fine... No reboots, no hiccups...

Wait is the OP talking about a T-mo branded N6?
I'm on T-Mobile, the reason I would like the update is to have the APN setting. I have to play with mine after every flash to get MMS working. I think I've figured it out, but it is a pain. Pure nexus 6.0 is working awesome now

What build name?
EDIT:
Never mind a search turned up this.
http://www.tmonews.com/2015/11/t-mo...ate-approved-expected-to-start-arriving-soon/
Build MRA58X
So I guess this will be the official T-Mobile build for M.
Finally! Downloading 6.0 now.
Wait! Set up mitm and capture the ota download link!

No, they are random. I think they are supposed to go out over the course of a week or two.
I would imagine someone will grab the OTA URL soon if they haven't already so you can sideload it if you are impatient. Also possible that they will get the factory image up if you have an unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile's factory image was a little slow to be available in the past.
MRA58X from LVY48I
I got MRA58X on my Nexus 6 by first flashing back to LVY48I.
Here's the OTA link for those who don't want to wait:

It looks like there's some crap at the end of the link. I think the forum is adding that because I edited my post and there's nothing else there at the end. Just copy and paste the link and remove the junk at the end

Help me assist my coworker

My coworker has a stock AT&T S5 on 5.0 (USA). When she hits the OTA update, it says it's up to date. ...on 5.0. I plugged it into my PC running Smart Switch. It also said it was up to date.
Hasn't this variant been on 5.1.1 since late October? If so, does anyone know how to get it to 5.1.1 without rooting? I'm assuming Odin the stock firmware. But I wanted to check with you guys first.

Is she using AT&T service? The phone will not update unless there is an AT&T sim card in the phone.
