Anyone received OTA for Marshmallow on T-mobile? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone received OTA for Marshmallow on T-mobile?
If you received, when did you received it?

Negative on my end still waiting prob gonna root soon

Stll waiting but got it on my N5 on 10/8 (AT&T) and on my N9 on 10/14.

Been waiting for this myself. Checked T-Mobile's software update site and is still shows Android 6 as "In Testing" for the N6.

its not in testing, marshmallow has been released for the nexus 6. just go grab the factory image, and apply it yourself, manually.

Yes, their specific build, IS in testing.
Currently available build is stock Google build. "Should" work well enough as a daily driver. But I'm sure T-Mobile will make some tweaks for WiFi calling and band 12

the time around, there is a unified build, instead of many builds for different networks. the build is already out, its not in testing..

Guess we'll have to askdes , to confirm that.

Google has tested it. But T-Mobile is still doing acceptance testing. Click the Nexus 6 link on this interactive page at T-mobile.s site. At this moment, it shows the status to be "T-Mobile Testing," which is described as this: "During this stage, the device will go through T-Mobile certification process testing to make sure you get the best quality software possible."

Flashed manually. WiFi calling works just fine.

Yes. No one will stop you. But "can" does not necessarily equal "should." There are reports in this forum that there might be issues specific to T-Mobile when this build is flashed. Maybe that's why they call it "testing."

i use tmobile. i am running marshmallow. i dont have any issues. and i don't read ANY issues here regarding any tmobile specific issues. if theres any specific issues that you are talking about, maybe you would care to enlighten me?
edit..
i just read what you linked, and im in that thread as well. thats an issue that you will see reported every single release. and its usually a very few that report it.

I used factory images. No problems on T-Mobile so far

There have been questions about Mm6 on the Nexus6 and T-Mobile band12 support.
The Nexus6 was one of the two or three phones to support band12 on release. Since then, T-Mobile has built out and converted a lot of their towers to band12, and there have been rumors recently that they no longer want the N6 to be able to use band12.
I don't understand those rumors and press reports.
There are also disturbing reports from T-Mobile users who are on Mm6 that their Nexus6 no longer supports band12 without reverting to the last Lollipop radio.
So, I am holding off installing Mm6 OTA on my new Amazon-bought N6, even though it was offered when my Cricket/AIO prepaid SIM was in place as soon as I first booted.
Band12 is important, and will become more important, on T-Mobile.

Moto X Verizon Update?

Since we'll never be getting the update on Verizon (unless any of you have any info) I would like to ask my Sprint/T-Mobile variant users how the new camera/etc. update is? Does it fix the stupid robotic crap that happens all the time in the middle of a call that makes the call sound absolutely horrendous? Must be nice for you guys to get updates so timely.
I twated with Verizon support and they said it was forthcoming. Pretty helpful, eh? They said watch the news channel on their website.

I asked a rep at moto care and all they could tell me is an update will be available as soon as it's ready. I grabbed the sbf files and plan on trying to use the files from the other builds to make a hackneyed update.
I'm betting we get the update before 10/14. That's just a guess based on the phone's release date and the build date that's sitting on the current Verizon software (kernel was built on 8/7 and phone was released on 8/29).
I'd say we'll get an email this week saying the soak test is starting "soon" and we might start to see it roll out this weekend over the next 2 weeks as it's a fairly minor update.

Android Revolution HD with Wi-Fi Calling on T-Mobile

I downloaded the version back in late Spring or early summer (might be 52.0) and remember that I couldn't find Wi-fi calling in it despite it being mentioned somewhere in the change logs. Is the latest version (81.0) supporting it now?

Read Post #3 FAQ #5. If it doesn't specifically state so in the OP then it probably is not supported. However, you might check out this Add-On from the T-Mobile HTC One Forum.

In short, NO, the last version to support T-Mobile WiFi calling (and coincidentally also Sprint phones) is ARHD 31.6
Interesting. Is there a reason why the feature was removed?

i honestly don't know, technically it was never "removed", it was just not added in later releases... at first due to lack of OTA updates, but later on, maybe the person doing the t-mo stuff was no longer supporting it
since mike is nowhere close to T-Mo US, he pretty much has very little chance to test it, and if he was getting support for T-Mo then maybe that person moved on.
is the 4.4.3 T-Mo OTA update out? if it's not, i'm pretty sure it won't be implemented in 8x.x series until the official 4.4.3 T-Mo OTA is out.
Thanks for the information. Didn't know about all of this.

Can We Get a Carrier Specific Rom List Please

Here is the reasoning behind my request.
I am on Tmob and have a N6. I was fine stock rooted on 5.0 then 5.0.1. Then I decided to try a few roms. One that said it was for ALL carriers, didn't allow me to get calls unless I was only in 3g.
T-mobile is the ONLY one using a 47m ROM. All others are at 47i, why is there a difference? The radios most likely. I am 95r and 98r doesn't work on TMobile very well.
Can we get a Thread for EACH Carrier? They aren't all the same, at least from my experience. Sprint, VZW are different and have problems. I hear VZW users need to use 98r for "best results"
Go ahead, blast away. Just waiting for the "senior ops" to go to town on this one!
I'm on vzw and every ROM I've tried is fine. Have you updated to the latest image from google. Or are you still on 5.0.1

With many phones, Samsung in particular - there are massive hardware differences that require several separate forums to manage.
With the nexus 6, the hardware is identical on all of them.
There are 2 specific builds that are slightly different and as you mentioned, they are M and I.
What we think is (but unproven) that M is for T-Mobile USA and I is for Australia. We have no concrete proof of that. Nor am I sure what the differences are. If you're using stock-based ROMs, try to stick to M builds.
As for AOSP, I'm not sure anyone knows what the difference is for T-mo. Maybe one day we'll find out.

Thank You for the Reply.. I would agree with the thinking about M. Like I stated a non-M build killed the incoming calls unless my phone was on 3g with Enhanced 4g unchecked.
I was just asking for a Carrier Specific Rom thread thats all.

Im on a 5.1 with 95r and 47M is my Build (nocturnal rom) its a Tmobile N6.. All other roms killed incoming calls unless I was stock rooted. CleanRom 2.0 and 2.1 with either 98r or 95r had same results. I like @scrosler roms, but can't live without getting business calls.

Yeah. I think its a good idea to have a thread that lists all t-mo compatible ROMs, but first we need to learn what the actual difference is. Perhaps its just a RIL or something. In which case, there may just be a flashable zip required.
I just think we need to know more at this stage.
@efrant, do you know the differences? @simms22?
the aosp roms were missing code that made the tmobile devices not receive calls on lte, that has been fixed and should be in all roms that have been recently updated. i use terminus, which includes the code, so tmobile users get calls on lte, and volte is working. besides that issue that has been fixed, all carriers will work on any aosp rom. theres no such thing as a carrier specific nexus rom.

AOSP contains only Android OS nothing proprietary (proprietaries are included as a standalone) but when Google provided the binaries--proprietary libraries, applications were missing which caused VoLTE not to work properly. Myself and Sykopompos worked on the blobs and having VoLTE working, they were pulled from the factory image / deodexed OTA.

Upgrading a TMO Nexus 6 to MRA58K (correct version)?

Maybe a stupid question but couldn't find this addressed anywhere. In the last couple versions TMO Nexus' have had their own version, I'm assuming because of WiFi calling, is that not the case anymore? Seems their all going to run MRA58K from what I see. I have the the OTA upgrade zip from my version but was thinking a clean install was better. Just didn't want to botch anything. Anybody know about this?
WiFi calling is built in now so yeah, just use the same version as everyone else.

There is only version of Android 6.0 (MRA58K). It is a unified build for all carriers. But you will loose support for LTE band 12 on T-mobile. There's another thread about that issue in this Q&A section.

Not sure, I'm in Richmond, VA I considered that though, seems I'm on Band 4 right now. It's a decently populated area with a couple million in the Metro but If you don't have it there, we probably won't for a while. Either way seems like by the time it's here it will be enabled anyways.
Thanks for the help guys.
Yeah I don't think we have it in the Virginia Beach/ Norfolk area either. I excited to get to the end of the year when the roll out should be over

Well, so just fyi, with the benefit of hindsight one month later --- MRA58K wasn't actually a unified build. I flashed it, based on posts like this (yours certainly wasn't the only one). Now, of course, I learn that the official TMo build of Marshmallow for Nexus 6 is MRA58X. There is some mention of an OTA from K to X, but I think I have heard that before..... Am about to downgrade to last official TMo Lollipop, and take OTA to MRA58X, and be a happy, patient little TMo camper from now on.

And, FWIW, it's closer to two months... Unfortunately, neither Google, nor the carriers publish much information about their plans for carrier specific builds. So one has to take everything with a "grain of salt" here. Sorry if this caused you any issues....

Did MRA58K cause any T-Mo specific issues for you? I used MRA58K on T-Mo since the day it was released (till yesterday when I flashed MMB29K) - it worked just fine. I had Band 12 coverage, and WiFi Calling, and free in-flight Gogo Texting etc. I did read that T-Mo had announced their build was MRA58X, and I would have flashed that, if the factory images had been available before yesterday - but MRA58K worked just fine. (MMB29K is working fine as well)

It seemed to work fine. This week, I missed a couple of text messages, and so I have been trying to troubleshoot. I really don't know if it was the culprit, but along the way I discovered that MRA58X is the official, TMo build. I don't really have any specific reason to believe the wrong build was the culprit, but I just decided to rip off the bandaid and flash it. I am one of those on the fringes of being comfortable with flashing images, etc. I have just decided I am sticking with OTA direct from the carrier from now on. I don't like injecting variables into the stability of my experience (I realize I should just get off XDA then!! But then a month goes by and I get a little bored....)

Update 9.5.10 for TMobile OP7 Pro is available

I searched and didn't see it mentioned but the latest Update for TMobile OP7 Pro is available. Sorry if wrong place to post or a dupe.
Update 9.5.10 just landed on my phone. Screen shown in my most recent post
Awesome! Thanks man I've been waiting for this update.

What improvements do you see? Someone mentioned that the 48mp Pro mode photo quality was reduced in another forum. I'm still in 9.5.5 so I would need to update to 9.5.6 then this one. Just want to make sure that it's worth the update.
So this was how long after the official release? I think the updates are definitely coming quicker on my pro than they did on my 6T with T-Mobile.
I had actually returned my first OP 7 pro, but am going to give another try now that the new update is out a lot faster than TMO originally told me. The phone is very comfortable and smooth, but camera was the only thing that was a downer. So here's to a second try [emoji16]

I was surprised how fast the update came out considering most carriers can take their sweet time vs unlocked OnePlus international version. I was considering making mine the international version but thought I would see how quick TMo would release it. Good luck to you and hope it meets expectations. Keep in mind the teams working on the gcam are working their magic. If the stock camera isn't up to your standards you may try testing their gcam apk and xml. Users are reporting better pics.

How so? I am curious. for the most part the international version has been working for me with very few if any complaints, though do wonder if the T-Mobile firmware's radio firmware is slightly better for cellular connectivity.

How do I update to 9.5.7 while rooted?
Agree on the speed at which TMobile turned this update around.. I really appreciate the effort.
As for camera performance. I am far from a professional. It does seem to take a better photo in auto mode to jpeg. I downloaded the update on the plane as I was leaving for vacation. Glad to have the improvements with me.
No ghost taps yet and double tap has not missed a tap yet, only two days in though might be too early to tell...
Nightscape
The Nightscape on the INT and TMO are NOT the same. INT is MUCH MUCH better. TMO version is like the 9.5.5 version i dont know why this isnt the same but it isnt. I tested them back to back last night and the difference is HUGE. Yes I did the cache wipe and had thought it fixed it but nope. I haven't really tested the other camera functions. Everything else seems fine. The INT version does get weird with wifi calling and switching over so yah the Radio firmware issue does seem to be a thing.
9.5.8 just rolled out for th global version can't wait until TMobile gets it
And here you go...
Only update listed was the security patch.
Yeah, I was almost going to switch ROMs back to the T-Mo version since they rolled out 9.5.8 pretty fast, but looking at the release notes from T-Mo which only shows security updates, I think I'll stick with the International version as the 9.5.8 release included a camera and phone audio update.
