2 ways.. flash a factory image from lollipop, or flash a lollipop rom with twrp.

no idea at the moment. when you pick which android version, just google gapps android 5.x, and google will find them for you.

Ok thanks for the help

I will assume you flash CM 4.4.3, did you do a clean install? how did you do the flash?

Dirty update from 4.4.2 only
Should I do a clean flash ?? Since many things need to set again.
Thanks

Make a backup and try the clean flash it can't hurt.

How do people get 5.0.2 on their Nexus 6?

I noticed many people and custom roms are already on 5.0.2 yet the only stock rom released so far for 5.0.2 is Nexus 7. My question is can you flash Nexus 7 OTA to your Nexus 6?

lol, no, you cant flash the n7 ota onto the n6. but you can build your own rom from aosp, which is on android 5.0.2. or you can flash any of the aosp roms that are on xda for the n6

lol!
joking aside. be careful joking about it, as someone will believe you and try flashing the n7 ota onto their n6.

Should I update to Android 5.1 from 5.0.2 with CM12?

I'm currently on Android 5.0.2 with CM 12 and I don't know if there is any way to simply upgrade the bootloader without restoring to stock, is there any way to do so?
Also, what's the difference if I update to 5.1 and then reflash CM12?

Um if u update to 5.1 and then flash cm12 that will cause ur device to brick. I would hold off if using cm12 is important

I think they actually patched it with the latest commits?

well then just flash cm12 if u think this. I personally would hold off, but its ur device. To upgrade your bootloader/radio look for the threads in the nexus 6 area. you will need to use fastboot

It didnt brick mine. I did it without even researching. Just assumed it was good. Flashed 5.1 as my first custom rom, and now I'm on the 3/22/15 CM12 nightly. No bricks.

Nexus 6 7.1 Image Download?

Hey guys,
I've been looking around for the Nexus 6 7.1 preview image but can't find it on the developer preview website. It just shows the 6P, 5X, and Pixel C.
I know I can flash a stock image and then take the developer preview OTA but I'd rather just fastboot flash it. Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks for the help!
It doesn't exist yet. We will probably get something in November/December. 7.1.1 preview?

Thanks for the reply.
So the only way currently is via the Dev Preview OTA?

Nevermind, I misunderstood. I thought some people were already running 7.1 but it seems it's not out at all.
Sorry for the confusion!

No official 7.1 from Google yet or dev preview ,but in the Android development forum there are some guys who have 7.1 aosp roms
I haven´t tried but there is one here; https://plus.google.com/communities/117685307734094084120
I'm running despair 7.1 and so far it's flawless

Are there any stock barebones 7.1 AOSP ROMs with essentially no extra features?
TIA

Are there any custom roms tested for the US cellular note 5 with working 4g?

Do you have the link to the ROM you used? or the link to the forum that you had gone to. I have tried Moar ROM before but got crashed and random restarts.
Did you have to make any modifications at all? Kernel / API's anything?
Thanks!!

I used this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...m-moar-pc3-mm-rom-v3-0-making-smoars-t3364338
I followed the instructions in the OP, I didnt had to modify anything, and my phone is running smothly. The only thing I've notice is some battery drain after I installed some apps. Now I'm going to try to flash n920p Nougat on it, wish me luck lol

I had no luck flashing n920p Nougat in my N920r4, I guess I'll have to wait until the official update. Did you flashed MOAR?

did you clean flashed it or dirty flashed it? I dirty flash it and never had an issue, even 4g/lte works on it.

From my previous posts, pasted here for help, take it easy and do next:
Now, i can confirm that ROM from thread NAMED: ☆☆》》TELETEAM ROMS N5 & S6E+《《☆☆ by Slidder10 w , PARTICULARLY THIS S8+ 5.2 rom WORKS on N920 R4 US Cellular variant!!
All U have to do is: Install through Odin Stock 7.0, paste rom (S8+ 5.2) on Internal memory, install Nougat TWRP, do ALL wipes except Internal memory, Install Rom and enjoy with Note 5!! Great rom!!! This is Only and first rom(so far tested by me) that works without any modification on N920R4! And it is looks great, fast and without lags. Battery is so far same as on Stock(or closely to it). Any Quest, let me know! :fingers-crossed:
