Does anyone have any clue what Motorola intends to do with this phone, the GSM Global XT1603 running 21.11.23 firmware?
I thought they pushed out an OTA for all of us but apparently it isn't true.
So nobody receives OTA update for the device except me?
That's weird.
I do not get it. still 21.11.23
I finally got it on the other G.
It's weird that they pushed OTA on one phone then stopped 'til two weeks later.
Anyway, both of my Gs running the latest 5.0.2 now
The nexus image site has two builds listed for 5.1.1:
5.1.1 (For Sprint, USC ONLY) (LMY47Z)
5.1.1 (For T-Mobile ONLY) (LYZ28E)
I'm assuming Verizon users fit under whatever USC is?
Also, I'm coming from build LMY47D - can I flash LMY47Z or do I have to first flash LMY47E, then LMY47I before LMY47Z?
Thanks!
I think it's for TMobile only. It's weird that I just got the update notification on my TMobile N6 though I have an AT&T SIM.
Yeah, I got the OTA alert for 5.1.1 but I'm on Verizon... Only to find there is no Verizon build?
It appears OTA's are going out depending on what build you're currently on. If you're LMY47I or LMY47D you'll get the OTA to LMY47Z. If you're on LMY47M then you'll get LYZ28E.

What build were you running before you got the OTA to 5.1.1?

I was on 5.1 LMY47D. Been rocking 5.1.1 LMY47Z since last week, no issues.
I flashed Z international 5.1.1 on my vzw phone when it came out with the radio bootloader and rom, it works fine. I don't wait for updates that's stupid. We have nexuses. go out there and get it. any rom bootloader or radio works with any nexus device, branding doesn't matter.

The question of LMY47Z being for Verizon depends on how you want to look at it.
Officially, Verizon's current build is 5.1/LMY47E. That is the build that ships on new phones sold by Verizon. Further, the Android 5.1 OTA that was sent to non-VZW Nexus 6s with Verizon SIM cards was 5.0.1/LRX22C -> 5.1/LMY47E. So, unless you've played with manual flashing, or you switched to Verizon after receiving an Android 5.1 OTA on another carrier, your phone should be running LMY47E.
Currently there is no OTA to bring you from LMY47E to any 5.1.1 build and there won't be until Verizon approves it. Once Google gets technical approval from Verizon, the OTA update will be from LMY47E to some other build. That "some other build" might be LMY47Z, or it may be something else entirely. We have no way of knowing right now.
With that said, the fact that you created this thread in the first place means you're most likely willing to tinker with your phone by unlocking your bootloader and flashing factory images. LMY47Z works just fine on Verizon, but there's no way to know for sure if it's going to be the "official" Verizon build or not. Only time will tell. If you're that impatient and a 0.0.1 version number bump means that much to you, then just flash LMY47Z manually and be done with it.
Personally, my Nexus 6 is sitting on LMY47E and I'll just wait it out. I maintain OTA archives so I'm leaving my phone on LMY47E so that I can get the URL to the OTA file whenever it becomes available. There's nothing in 5.1.1 that I can't live without for another month.

Ah I probably should have prefaced my post with the following points:
bought the n6 from the play store before verizon was selling it
unlocked the bootloader and rooted it the second after I opened the n6 box
I flash the individual files from the official nexus images, since I can't use OTA updates once unlocked
I received the 5.1.1 OTA notificaiton, which prompted me to look into flashing the new image, only to discover several for different carriers
I hadn't flashed an update since much earlier in the year, and was a bit surprised to see how the images were now broken out by carrier. It seems like it really doesn't matter all that much, but it was somewhat confusing. I wasn't expecting major updates from 5.1.1, but I have noticed improved battery life, even if there are no major functional improvements. I appreciate your detailed analysis though, as you've managed to explain why verizon isn't mentioned with the available images.

When you got the 5.1.1 OTA, I'm guessing you weren't on LMY47E, right? You must have been on D, I, or M.

Yeah, per my original post I got the 5.1.1 OTA from D. I may have been a build or two behind because I haven't received any OTA notification since much earlier in the year.

The LMY47D and Z are coupled (EU). To find out
I did not flash a new factory image but waited for the OTA message 5.1.1.
After the update my N6 shows LMY47Z.
I did not expect that because Z is labeled 'For Sprint USC Only'. I am in the Netherlands, provider T-Mobile.
LMY47Z will be just fine for Verizon.
The only concern you might have is the Radios or VoLTE.
1) For radios, just flash a radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-modem-collection-t2969380 for verizon 47E (the ... .98R version) you can compare with the one that 47Z had (i belive its ... .95R) and see which gives you the best signal all while on the LMY47Z build.
2) For VoLTE, some say LMY47Z works fine, you'll have to see (just make sure you enabled it on your account too), but 47E was the one built for VoLTE.
Its up to you which you want more, a newer build or certain verizon features. You may get to have both!
I flashed lmy47z on my verizon nexus 6, did a full flash with wipe. Has worked great. Took a few seconds to find the carrier in settings after first boot (showed ! as signal until it did). Once it identified as Verizon i was able to enable volte on the phone. No problems at all since.

Can someone else confirm this?
Yes, it works. One interesting note, though. LMY47Z does not download Verizon apps from the Play Store during initial setup like LMY47E does. That alone probably means that LMY47Z won't be the official Verizon build whenever the OTA happens

Cool Thanks! I finally got a nexus 6 today and ota'ed to LMY47z. I'm bringing it to verizon later for a nanosim. Testing my luck..haha
You won't have a problem. Verizon has all the N6 IMEIs in its database now. It'll show up on your account as "Nexus 6 Non VZW"

Finally verizon did something right for once. Glad to hear.
Just to add my experience to this... when I RMA'd my Nexus 6 from Motorola the new one came with LRX22C. I let it take the OTAs over WiFi before putting my SIM in and it went to LMY47D and then LMY47Z. I then put in my SIM and everything has worked fine.
Also, as noted in another post, on my old Nexus 6 I had flashed LMY47E and the Play Store automatically installed Verizon apps, but LMY47Z didn't do that.
My PD6 is pretty buggy so I'd liked to get to the official one I guess. Has anyone on PD6 received the update OTA?

As far as I'm aware, there is no OTA from PD6, simply because PD6 is the same build as the OTA. As far as the update server is concerned, you're running the most recent version, so it won't offer you an OTA update. I would say try a factory reset, or if that doesn't work, you may have to wait until we have an Odin file for PD6
I have not seen confirmation, but I assume you could ODIN back to OJ7 and then get the OTA.
Hi guys,
I want to know how to update to latest oreo update with all the security patches.
I am following this how-to thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...w-to-install-android-oreo-snapdragon-t3716281 but in the OP the links are broken.
Can anyone update me on this?
The phone is from verizon but I didn't use it on verizon. I got this phone last November. Currently using on Cricket, so probably I don't get automatic updates from Verizon.
my note 8 info:
7.1.1
experience v. 8.5
security patch level Nov 1, 2017
Baseband v. N950USQS2BQK2
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure if you should be on a much newer filmware or not. Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA not coming through, this will delete the phone memory though, so back up your data.
You can also get official filmware from sammobile and updato. Just if you want to flash Oreo with Odin, make sure you use the latest version of Odin (3.13.1)

I am on Cricket and using Verizon note 8 that I got from last December. Last update was in November when I still have Verizon. After inserting Cricket sim card, there has never been an update anymore. I turned on Wifi and went into settings> software update to refresh, and there is no awaiting update. I didn't change to unlock firmware (as I do not know how). How do you go about installing the updates to latest Oreo using Odin? I am on 7.1.1 with build 2BQK2

I recommend that you try a factory reset to see if that pushes the OTA update.
If this fails, I will help you step by step with Odin.
