Hi, I was hoping to update to 6.0 but there are three versions of 6.0 to choose from. Can someone describe their differences? I bought the phone unlocked and i am using it on Verizon. I would like to keep it unlocked for all carriers and for use globally though, if that makes a difference in version number.

what's the difference between MRA58R, which you recommended, and the others?
It's the newest update. Enough said! ?

Hello!
I currently saw two variants of official 5.1.1 (1 for T-Mobile and 1 for Sprint/USC).
I'm wondering if I can install this to my Nexus 6. I'm using the international variant.
Thanks
And why the rush? What do you think you are going to gain from 5.1.1?
also waiting for 5.1.1 they fixed a battery a bit there so device will work a bit longer)

Use the Sprint build.
I'm resetting up my unit from scratch every update so I was thinking that after I setup my Nexus 6 on 5.1.0 for hours the 5.1.1 will come out. So it'll be a waste of time.

Is that the official build for the international variant or just a workaround? Thanks

That is the build that international users have reported getting as an OTA.

Only difference for you then is one is newer than the other. So use the newest (48i).
Further info: ALL Nexus 6 can use the same ROMs. The only difference is that some US carriers have specific ROMs to add functions or just so they can approve the builds themselves. So you just need to avoid the Builds that are specifically for T-Mobile or Verizon IF you want OTA to work in the future. Otherwise, you could use any.

thanks for the information.
Alright guys, so I have a quick question I'm unsure about. So I bought a Nexus 6 off of the Google Play Store, and I am using it on T-Mobile. So for the wifi calling feature, I understand that I would have to have bought the device from T-Mobile themselves for the feature to be built into the OS correct? And if that's the case, is it safe to fastboot flash the T-Mobile firmware to a device bought off of Google Play? Or is that a bad idea because of a different chipset of some kind? Thanks!

Yes, you can flash the t-mobile img and get the features they offer.
Just to clarify:
All N6 are the same. What build you get in an OTA is decided based on your sim-card (if you have a T-mobile sim, you'll get the T-mobile build).
In other words, if you're using a T-mobile sim there should be no reason for you to flash an image. Unless you've been tinkering with your phone (root, custom recovery, custom kernel), then you have to use the images to update since it'll be impossible to install updates through OTA.
So it doesn't hurt to flash any of the builds that's on the Google developers site for my nexus 6? None will brick the device somehow? And also, I have a T-Mobile sim in my nexus here, but my phone still updated to LMY48M not the T-Mobile build. I have tinkered with the device, yes. It is rooted right now and I have flashed images to it before. I have flashed LMY48I earlier on and just last week flashed LMY48M. But I did an OTA update from stock LMY48I and it took me to LMY48M. Sorry if this is confusing.

So the build on the Google developers site that says (for T-Mobile ONLY) is safe to flash on my device?

Yes, when you're in the US.
Here in Europe (Netherlands) we use a different image, although we have also T-Mobile.
It is good you ask about this, because there are many others that are/were confused.

Yes, it is safe to flash on any Nexus 6. North American or International. Every Rom works on Every Nexus 6. Regardless. The only difference is if you are on T-mobile or Verizon, if you want WiFi Calling or VoLTE (respectively) You'll need their specific builds.
Oh yea, it's definitely confusing haha When it comes to flashing anything Android powered, there's almost always a possibility to brick so I had to ask. Alright! Thanks guys! I'm gonna flash the T-Mobile image today because I am on T-Mobile and this phone is still on the US International image.

So just to clarify, there is no risk in flashing ANY of the images for the nexus 6 because all nexus 6 devices around the world are the same chipset correct?

Just making 100% sure, it was said yes, but not directly. They said "go ahead and flash the T-Mobile build" but as for "any" build, notice the word "any". I just wanna make sure, sorry I don't wanna hard brick a $700 device.

If on T-Mobile flash latest for T-Mobile. If not on T-Mobile flash latest Generic which is every carrier but T-Mobile. It not rocket science.

What's wrong with Sprint, why didn't they release the new update? The unlocked device was updated almost a month ago, which means the software was sent to Sprint! How can we figure out when will Stupid Sprint release that?
The carrier devices are always 2-3 months (if I remember correctly) after the unlocked devices.
That much?
As per the tweet by Mo Versi (VP of HTC) we should be receiving on Jan 4th. Most of the time, things got delivered on the date he announced. Hoping for Jan 4.
That's a negative

It is likely going to be within. 7 days from now.
There's no where to find this out, which is annoying. Thanks for the updates.
It's solely on the carrier right now though, so who knows absolutely for certain.
I had it
I had a system update appear in my menu bar this mornjng. Without reading the message completely I installed it. It did so pretty quickly. And then nothing installed. I know it said "marshmallow" and 6.0. I don't know what happened.

Thanks. I remember those with past updates.
Do you have the update number?
Well I don't like sprint rom with horrible black dial pad and bloatware. Who would want sprint mm? Why not custom rom dev edition based?
yeah, that was an update to prepare for MM upgrade. But I can't see what's the numbers of the update, where can I find it anywhere? The real ROM didn't come yet.

Just saw it, and was about to post,
Unfortunately the RUU downloaded from HTC website won't work with my factory locked original phone, what the f.
After reading the webpage carefully, using the RUU from there to program will erase all the data on the phone, so I don't know if that's what I want. I'm just becoming too lazy to deal with all of these
Hi community.

why do you want to install an older version(that's not international)? the latest version is MMB29S, and all nexus run it, its not just international. again, all nexus are running the same build. the difference between american and international versions are only the radio bands being used by the phone itself.
