Thanks!

My GPS model shipped with 5.0 and updated to 5.01 after a couple hrs on wifi. I rooted and flashed a 5.1 rom shortly after so I don't know if or when it would have updated to 5.1.

all nexus 6 are getting 5.1, regardless what carrier youre on. all nexus 6 in the US are identicle. when buying via verizon, itll just have a verizon logo on it, thats all.
I just received my replacement phone (which I purchased from Motorola but had the shutting down while battery still displayed 50-90% issue), put my VZW SIM into it and can tell you that on my phone, the OTA progression went from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 "LMY47D".
Just an FYI: After it flashed to "LMY47D" and used it for a couple days (VZW "VoLTE" worked fine with this), I went to the Google factory image page and flashed "LMY47E" as that is the version that comes on the Verizon variant, factory reset, and when I set the phone back up, the phone automatically downloaded My Verizon as well as Verizon Visual Voice Mail automatically once it signed into the Play Store. I do not know if "LMY47D" would have downloaded those Verizon apps or not after a factory reset with a Verizon SIM in it, so someone else will have to chime in on that.

the provider apps get installed because of your sim card. can always first boot without the sim card installed, that way it wont install provider apps.
Received my Google 64 GB white Nexus, popped in my Verizon SIM no problem. I set up my phone over wifi first "it came stock 5.0" , powered off inserted SIM, then powered on, while phone was on wifi it updated to 5.1 Lollipop, 4G works fine.

I'm using straight talk on an at&t s6 edge. Trying to get the google voice voicemail to work. I've tried the mmi code **004*gmnumber# to activate conditional call forwarding, but I always get "couldn't get server response".. Trying to change the voicemail service provider also gives errors. "Can not read data. Network or sim error"
I have tried the individual mmi codes for different kinds of conditional call forwarding, but get same error:"couldn't get server response".
I have read that at&t controls the conditional call forwarding service, being the original carrier for straight talk, but because I don't have an active account, they can not change features for my number.
The ST rep tells me that there might be a hardware specific mmi code that Samsung may provide?
Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks guys,

Gozirra, I was having a similar problem with my iPhone 6 (on AT&T) and my S6 (on Cricket). I think it may wind up being these phones (both are AT&T branded). I wound up swapping the sim card into a spare (Cricket branded) Moto G LTE and the MMI code worked without issue.
This exactly what I just did and it works. For months I have been trying to forward my Cricket voicemail to Google Voice, from Samsung S5. I couldn't. I called Cricket, they said there's nothing they can do. I then I saw gm2racer's post, used my sim card in my son's Samsung Prime. Voila.
Same issue here with S6 active + straight talk and with youmail as well.. invalid mmi.. straight talk says they dont support conditional forwarding, however 3 windows phones prior all worked on ST (both att and vzw phones)..
Frustrating enough i'm considering switching to tmobile (not willing to switch phones per say, i just got the s6)
I know this isnt the most hit thread on this topic, but today I resolved my issue... I have an AT&T (unlocked cause its older and paid for) Galaxy S6 (SM-G920A), that I simply plugged in the cricket SIM from my older Cricket phone and started using on their network. I got the immediate system text messages that reconfigured most of the call settings and the phone worked fine but in the past couple months, i keep getting complaints that i dont have voice mail set up from callers.
I did, I do, and I have used my google voice number for years now, and use it for my outbound calling (install the gv app and have it set outbound for all to GV). I also use GV as my mailbox... and I know how to use the **004 string to change forwarding (conditional, as in when you dont answer, cant answer, etc).
But with my AT&T S6 and the MM 6.0.1 (DQC1 official AT&T rom) - that 004 string wouldnt work. Neither would changing forwarding settings from the phone settings. They all state they cant talk to the server... and theres no option in my call settings for voicemail to set voice as the handler (versus your carrier).
So I was kind of stuck.. and here is what I did.
I flashed it using odin to the sm-g920aZ QB2 firmware (as in , the Cricket firmware for the S6, 6.0.1 MM version in March 2017).
I know.. it is taking a risk as some people state it doesent work.. some do.. well.. mine did. And since I have never tried to get root or do a custom OS, i am still official (thats all I have ever flashed, was official ROMs), and galaxy pay works, and the phone works, more or less perfectly from what I can tell. In fact, its got a TON less bloatware running a cricket ROM vs AT&T ROM.
And lo and behold, call forwarding works great now. And I actually got a firmware update notice from cricket 5 minutes after it was flashed.. and, well... all I can say is COOL.
I would probably stay with a MM (6.0.1) version of the ROM or match whatever you have now. I understand once you go to nougat, you cant go back to MM, and that may be true for moving between carrier ROMs also.. (cant go from Cricket 7 to at&t 6).
Anyhow.. Ive done a ton of research on this and thought since XDA helped out immensely (thanks everyone for posting roms and such), I would give ya'll a heads up that this worked for me.
I might go ahead and take those cricket firmware updates OTA. I know its a risk, as my phone is really a 920A (it shows as 920AZ now in settings also), but I really think its the exact same hardware... if I brick it I'll let ya'll know.
Confirmed, updates are good.

I let it go ahead and apply all of the recent Cricket updates to the S6 (920AZ) and confirmed its been running fine for 2 days now with no issues and no loss of functionality.
Makes me wonder what setting was changed by the cricket firmware - that allowed call forwarding to work properly and be set/reset/accessed by the device? The network and device didn't change, just the firmware.. but I dont see anything in the APN settings that relates to voice mail (maybe its something else that needs to change to allow CF settings?)
ANyhow.. your mileage may vary.. and Cricket firmware is WAY less bloated than AT&T for sure!
I have an AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge that I have been using on Cricket. I have never received the update that AT&T released earlier this month. There seems to be some confusion as to if you get those software updates on Cricket or not as I have gone through forum posts where some people have stated they have received updates for some devices and others say they have never received updates while using Cricket for AT&T devices. I did have them unlock my device so I could also use it on T-Mobile. Has anyone else had issues getting the update? Could it be related to my device being on Cricket or being unlocked? I have also tried putting an AT&T Go Phone sim (with active service in) and my device contacts the server and still doesn't see the update. I am not sure what else to try.
---
Never mind. With the Go Phone sim in, advancing the date a day, it allowed me to check again and then it found the update. Still think it is ridiculous that they won't let their own phones receive updates on Cricket.
I'm using an ATT sim, and have not received an update. I've advanced all the way through June to check for updates without success... as well as reinstalling via ODIN multiple times.

Update file will be live in like 30 minuetes . Just Wait
I had a phone that would not take an OTA not matter what I did, one of many defects i found with the phones i tested. You might have one of those in that back. The rest of the phones I have tested took OTA on first try.

same thing happened to me i just used the odin file. done
PSA for Sprint Moto z3 Play. After the last software update to Build OCW28.70-47, a factory reset caused my phone to no longer read my sim card and appears to somehow have relocked the phone to Sprint. Prior to this software update and reset, the phone read my T-Mobile sim card fine and connected to the network. Calling Sprint verified that my device was already sim unlocked. Calling T-Mobile and they can't do anything on their end. Lastly calling directly to Motorola, and they confirmed that they have already received other calls and that they are working on a software update to fix this glitch. For now, this leaves me with a phone I can't use until this software update fixes it. So just sharing here so others in this situation won't be in the same boat.

Quick question, did you unlock it through Sprint? How's the service and reception on it?
I'm on T-mobile and thinking of buying a Sprint variant to unlock and use with T-mo.
Thank you
I got this phone from a reseller already unlocked thru Sprint. For the short time it worked on T-Mo before it got relocked, service and reception was fine. But my advice is Don't Do It! Buy yourself the fully unlocked version, don't bother with a Sprint model to unlock as it is not worth the hassle; plus the fully unlocked version has 64gb versus 32gb on the Sprint version. Unless you are on Sprint, don't get the Sprint model!!! My story is similar to hundreds of other people with other phones having much difficulty in getting a Sprint model unlocked to work on other carriers (e.g. Essential phone has lots of similar problems).
UPDATE: Was able to go to a Sprint store, get a sample Sprint sim, insert and request the UICC unlock code and it got pushed through again so now my X3 is again unlocked for any carrier and now works with my T-Mo sim. So you need a Sprint sim to get that unlock code pushed thru, won't work just on wi-fi without that Sprint sim!
have an update for us to hear? this xt1929-3 still unlocked...
we bought this model (sprint) as a cheap gamble off ebay and it was the best thing. put in my redpocket gsm-t sim this morning and it says in the system update setting under uicc unlock "the device is unlocked for any sim card". that was even after unlocking the bootloader last night. thought we were going to need to do some modding to get away from sprint but didnt have to! so thrilled we will have this nice phone for the wife to enjoy.
So many people are reporting with the 3/1 sweep by AT&T, that they are blocking almost all Unlocked phones: See: Downdector Link We personally have a S10 (G973U1). AT&T is saying on this list: AT&T approved phone list that it is supposed to work. But like many other people "calls" end immediately, but we can text and data work. It is some sorta ploy by AT&T to force us to upgrade our phones. They want us all to upgrade to S22s. Anyway I was ranting. Anyway, if you look at that link, they are saying that the phone has to be on the latest software. The last update from AT&T or the manufacturer was in January. I checked the firmware site, and Android 11 is the latest in January. I'm wondering if there is some hack to get us on to '12' or something. An update might solve this issue. We know that a new SIM does not work. Calls seem to be rejected on the network, just based on the phone model or Android version.
We are aware that a version 12 is out there for the phone, just that firmware is not for our US-unlocked model yet. But maybe it can be hacked?
Edit: It appears this thread may be linked with this older one... But it is ever more pressing issue now:
S10 Unlocked phone with AT&T Firmware here they explain how, and the problems with flashing. This was back in 2019, so I'm not sure if this will still work. Even then it didn't work for everyone. Some in that forum claimed that it did. AT&T seems to now be blocking from their calling network any phones not enabled with VOLTE and the extended AT&T services that are not present in Unlocked phones.

I was helped by a user to achieve ascendance onto the AT&T network. I'm not sure if I'm to reveal his name. We 1) go into Developers mode on the phone. 2) Hack the Kernel. 3) Flash the rom to the G973U (model)... with the AT&T firmware. So that the Wifi-Calling and 5G features would work, and AT&T would allow it on their network.

I've literally been searching for an answer to this for days now. My wife and I have S10's. I work far from home so I really need her phone working in case of emergency. Can you please point me in the general direction? Thanks!
Agreed, I didn't know such a thing was possible, but I'd love to hear more about this!

At first I had to use the Samsung Band Selector app from the Play store and go into More Network Settings > AT&T > Preferred Network Type and choose 3G. Unfortunately this killed LTE so all data and calls were going through H+. As I was mostly on wifi I could live with it since I could actually use the phone again.
Then Friday morning I checked for updates and there was the update to take me to Android 12. I took the update then when it finished it said it needed to reboot to connect new SIM to carrier services....it wasn't a new SIM. I let it reboot and everything was working with VoLTE again.
Hope this helps.

I appreciate you getting back to me. Unfortunately I am still on android 11 with a custom ROM and also this is a global phone so that app didnt work for me. I dont receive OTA updatez. I'll update to a new ROM and see what happens. Thanks
