T-Mobile marshmallow radio - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone let me know what radio the ota update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 from tmo uses? I'm on the r build and it uses 27r baseband and WiFi calling and band 12 work. Thanks.

The OTA for T-Mobile (and Project Fi I believe as well) have a new build number and radio. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63927250&postcount=906 <-- someone posted a screenshot there.

For att users or tmobile: using an att sims 'Tmobile Update'

So I currently have an att sims card in my device. And I'm noticing a ' T-Mobile update service Update postoned' message. Is it safe to take the update even though I'm using att with this device?
anyone's input how this may affect an at&t user appreciated.

I don't think it should be any problem to update the phone with the att SIM on... at least in theory. I unlocked my T-Mobile Note 4 and it's working flawlessly on att at full LTE speeds, minus Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE of course, but I don't really care for those features on AT&T.

I'm going to root/custom recovery later anyways so I'd probably over write it with a custom rom. Probably doesnt pay to update.

It will update your baseband (modem) and a few other things that are inaccessible to the user, so yes, update it. In fact, the update does update the modem to version NJ7 (you're probably on NIH).

I am on N910TUVU1ANIH, So updating the baseband is needed to be compatible with custom roms? I'm just worried about bonking my signal since its not a tmobile sims.

I unlocked, upgraded to ANJ7 from that version, did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
then this:

with no problems using the t mobile one with an att sim, have been connected to 4G LTE all day.

I'm on the latest update with latest modem and I have absolutely great reception on at&t with my T-Mobile Note 4. Better than my Nexus 5 for sure.

Switched to ATT from Verizon

Hey guys I made the switch last night from Verizon to ATT, and need some help.
I am currently on the 89r radio because that was the radio that came preinstalled for the verizon varients, but I want to make sure I get the best possible working radio for my motorola bought nexus 6 for ATT. Anyone on ATT please can you recommend a radio that would work best?
@the_rooter
If you update to 5.1 the 95R radio works very well.
It is included in LMY47D and LMY47I.

Not exactly. I said 95r works well for me. Different locations and different people get different results. You need to try it and decide for yourself.

[Q] tmobile Wi-fi calling

Now that the n6 on tmobile has wifi calling is there anyway to port this feature to our Moto x 2014?
Does anyone have the apk?

its not an apk I think its part framework and part modded modem file might be part custom kernel as well

Shouldn't it be part of the 5.1 update if the N6 has it on 5.1?

No its ONLY part of 5.1 updates for tmobile branded phones. All tmobile phones have wifi calling as part of the tmobile rom but until now there has never been a phone that was running an unbranded rom that could use tmobile wifi calling. I am not sure anyone knows exactly how its done per say but now that we have a release for n6 which is not specifically tmobile branded I was hoping someone might figure out what changes were made in order to allow it to use the wifi calling and port those changes to moto x 2014

Does Android M for N6 support T-Mobile band 12 ?

So it looks like new Nexus phones are not supported yet, and its also reported that you look band 12 with M and Project Fi. So does it work on Tmo?
Yes. I'm on T-Mo with a stock N6 running Android 6.0 and LTE discovery (app) is showing lte band 12 right now.
Android M doesn't support any bands. It's hardware.

Dan, are you saying we don't need to wait for the update that T-Mobile says it will have ready for us later this week?

The problem with an OTA is that it can only update a specific build. The normal OTA everyone else will get will not be able to update a t-mobile rom, so t-mobile will have to release their own.
Bands themselves for LTE are hardware in the SoC.
As for WiFi calling, that's built into Marshmallow..my understanding is you just need the "my tmo" app from play or something.
But yes, if you want to receive an OTA then you'll have to wait, but you should also be able to flash the system.img and boot.img

Thank you sir! I'm rooted, so I plan to update manually with fastboot anyway. I'm seeing conflicting reports from others that have manually updated about WiFi calling working or not, and band 12 being available or not. Guess I'll wait another day or two and see how it shakes out.
I am a stock non rooted T-mobile user and i upgraded to Marshmallow using the standard image that google posted. everything works, LTE and wifi calling included. I have had no issues so far.
I'm running stock factory 6.0 rooted with twrp and T-Mobile WiFi calling works perfect. Thanks marshmallow

Thanks. Are u on latest build? Fi users reporting that M killed band 12 for them on N6
Band12 data support is removed for Fi users in the M radio because Fi will not support T-Mobile's proprietary VoLTE. So, no band12 data with the Fi SIM installed.
If you run M on your N6 with a T-mobile SIM in, you do get band12 ?

Radio question.

Can you flash a radio file from a stock image that isn't for your firmware? In my case, is it okay to flash the radio from a lollipop build on marshmallow without any issues? Thanks! It would have to be a T-Mobile lollipop build if I wanted WiFi calling right?

I don't think you should have any issues. Before I was really lazy and never updated my baseband despite changing firmware and never had any issues. You may run into problems with mixing the bootloaders though.

Yea they added wifi calling in marshmallow, to have it if I use a lollipop radio, I would need the T-Mobile version of the radio since those were carrier specific right? I rely on wifi calling where I live, service isn't great at my house, everywhere else in town, just not my house haha
