Hello all, I am an AT&T nexus 6 user. I am unlocked and rooted. I of course tried the OTA, didn't expect it to work since I'm rooted and it of course didn't work. I checked the factory images and there are only sprint and T-mobile versions of the 5.1.1. My question is can I flash the T-mobile version and have a functioning device? I'm sick of this system notification showing up every day telling me that I need to update. Thanks for the heads up

You can flash anyone you like. They'll all work with various results. AT&T users, however, are getting LMY47Z as an OTA. Ignore Google's labels.

Google finally changed the image label to "5.1.1 (All carriers except T-Mobile US) (LMY47Z)".

The *network* has nothing to do with it.
Google trickles the updates out over a period of several WEEKS.
You either wait for it to hit your SERIAL NUMBER, or you download it from the google factory images page.

I have a question for you. Would you be able to pull the OEM partition and send me it? I had AT&T n6 and didn't think to back it up. I'm all root and custom roms

I also have a AT&T Nexus running 5.1 factory image. I flashed the D version. Its preloaded with 4 AT&T apps that you can delete. Seems smooth and the towel root method works with no issues. I flashed VIA fastboot method.
Anyone running 47E with the 98R radio on AT&T? If so, thoughts? Working well?

I started with D. Then flashed E image. I could not see any difference in radio performance (nor anything else for that mater). Back to D.
I'm on the e build the radio is faster on the e build on at&t in my area,plus they just posted a newer factory image its an I build
I am currently on 5.1 but work for at&t. I just put my work email on my phone that also requires a monitoring service called mobile iron that monitors my phone. My company now thinks my phone i rooted because I have "prerelease" software on my phone and am in danger of getting in some pretty serious trouble. I talked it over with my manager and they're giving me time to fix it, but I need to get off 5.1 as fast as possible.
I can't root and I can't unlock bootloader but I need to get off 5.1.... can i just flash a 5.0.1 ota zip? Really not sure what to do but don't want my company phone taken from me. all my clients know this number.
Thanks in advance

I think the only way to downgrade the version is to flash through the bootloader or flash a custom rom but you can't do either, but 5.1 is officially out so its no longer pre release software.
You have to unlock the bootloader to flash anything. No you cannot flash an older ota (ota patch existing files to new versions, not replace entire files) and as mentioned l, 5.1 is not pre-release.
How did you get 5.1 in the first place?

At&t hasn't approved the software I guess, so by their standards it's considered prerelease. I honestly don't see why it's even an issue, we use the exact same images that gpe versions get so it shouldn't matter. Not sure what to do at this point.

FYI, AT&T have no control over the update process. The update comes directly from Google, for all carriers. As long as you didn't install M or I, you're fine. There is nothing that AT&T could do to prevent anyone getting the update. Except maybe sending a memo out to a staff saying "you'll receive an update from Google. Please, please, please don't accept it"

Can't you root and go back to 5.0 and relock bootloader and reinstall the mobile iron app?

Doesn't need root. He could unlock the bootloader, willing the device and then flash the system.img and ROM.img for a 5.0 ROM. Then relock
But its pointless. 5.1 has been released to both versions on the nexus 6. The north American one and the international one. AT&T do not.control updates going to their "branded" nexus 6 device. They're coming from Google directly.
Edit..
Hmm maybe I'm wrong...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Turn...akes-a-little-extra-effort--heres-how_id67599
Maybe like tmo, Google will be releasing a different 5.1 for at&t. This is disappointing news for nexus devices.
So yeah, unlock BL and flash system.img and boot.img from 5.0

Its not a different 5.1, but they delay the updates. As soon as the update is apppved it won't be considered "prerelease" and everything will be fine. It's a complete formality. But, it is what it is. I guess I'm going to just pull my email off my device and hope the "trackability" breaks. Not willing to risk boot loader unlock as I'll have to give the device back at some point. Again, as long as I don't put any "at-risk" firmware on the device and relock it shouldn't make any difference, but it does.
*sigh*

You can unlock the bootloader and relock it (so long as you check it boots first). There isn't a flag or trip or anything that they will see.,

I had a day one device 5.0 that when OTA'd upgraded to the LMY47M build which people say is the TMo specific build for some reason or another.
However I recently had to warranty my device through TMo and the replacement is running LMY47D, and checking for updates returns nothing.
Why?

Most likely is that you have a refurbished device but LMY47D is the universal 5.1 build that was issued to everyone else other than T-Mobile or Verizon. There won't be an OTA for that to switch to LMY47M. As long as all your features are working, it is of no matter. There's an expected new OTA possibly on the way soon anyway. 5.1.1 is expected but not yet confirmed.

Trollolol always!
Mine just came in today (64 GB Cloud White). Very impressed so far. I'm going to unlock, root, ROM. I'm not a noon in this area - been doing it since the OG Droid days. Not going to do it with a toolkit.
Anyway, it came with 5.0 (build number LNX97M) but I have a notification for a system update. Shows it's the update for 5.0.1, but I imagine the 5.1 update will follow shortly. Can these updates be unlocked/rooted? I assume so, but I like to be certain first. Thanks in advance for your help.

all nexus updates can easily be bootloader unlocked and rooted. google makes any nexus device easy to be bootloader unlicked and rooted, that who put in the option of fastboot oem unlock

Thanks. I figured as much, but wanted to be certain. Haven't had a Nexus since the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm used to being extra cautious about these things. I'll go ahead with the OTAs then unlock and root.

you'll get an update for 5.1 after updating to 5.0.1, then later on, you'll get an update for 5.1.1. or, you can also flash and use M
I'm right in assuming there will be a Verizon specific factory image at some point, correct? I got the OTA notification yesterday, but don't want to go back to stock just to update. And the LMY47Z image that's on Google's page obviously says "For Sprint, USC only."
Thanks

Disregard what Google has titled the image. That is the build Verizon users are getting via OTA.

47Z is being pushed to numerous other devices (and used successfully) in spite of Google's label. AT&T, and numerous international users. Several VZW users also report satisfactory performance with 47Z.
Ah, thank you to you both.
