3- do you think its a good move for me from sony z2 to nexus 6 .
thank you all.
1 & 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
1. Latest firmware is 5.1.1 Lollipop
2. Easiest way to root latest firmware - Google search Nexus Tool Rootkit from WugFresh
3. IMO it's a good move, Nexus 6 is pure Android out of the box, I don't recommend this if your a noob/average user. Should at least have some knowledge about rooting, installing custom recovery & ROMs, if not start doing your homework on XDA

Just curious to know that will flashing the official Rom reset my device to the original state i bought it and the procedure to do it !
Flash a marshmallow rom

Nougat to marshmallow custom ROM??

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.
