[Q] Received OTA but cancelled and no OTA now (Update: received it)

[Q] Received OTA but cancelled and no OTA now
Hi, I have the Moto G XT1063. Some minutes ago I received the OTA for Lollipop 22.21.25.en.us version . I started to download it, but I wanted to grab the link using my PC as hotspot and using Wireshark but when I cancelled it I was told to go to System/Check updates to update it again later, and when I tried to update it again I got the message saying "Yout device is up to date". I tried different Wi-FI networks, USB update via Motorola Device Update but no update found.
Did this happened to any of you? Could you resolve it? How?
Thank you!

I got the OTA notification on my XT1064 earlier today at lunch. I am rooted (TWRP, Xposed, debloted) so I know it would fail anyhow, so I cancelled it...I am counting on the fact that we will have CM or slim for the phone soon.

I had the same thing happen to me for the last update when I was on vacation a few weeks ago. I had spotty hotel WiFi so I decided to cancel and try again later. Still haven't had a second chance.

Wow, WEEKS? I've already waited 6 weeks. I thought I would get the update in a day again but it doesn't look like I will.
I guess we will have to wait until the official version comes. I like how Motorola keeps their phones updated but their way of updating them is horrible and they have really dissapointed me. I hate the rollout being in phases and on top of that when I finally received the OTA after more than a month waiting and tried to update it later I cannot get it anymore! They must be joking! Besides, I don't know why they take so long! What's the mystery Motorola?

They keeping everything in secret god knows why or 2 russian engineers.
Even who is invited to soak test shouldnt talk about the update. I think they hate Europeans, because the difference between the two device (the EU version and the US one) is minimal.

Motorola does the same stage rollout update methods as Google, although personally I find Google to be much worse.
They do this to steady the flow of updates (to save their servers some stress), and to catch early bugs that are noticed by the first or second 'pool' of users.
Apple does this right in my opinion. Once an update is pushed, every single supported iOS device can update immediately.
Patience. We just need patience

It's only software...

Found a solution!
The same thing happened with me when we get the first sw update (stock launcher - Google Now launcher) I tried a lot but I was not able to update it. After 2 months I did a factory reset & then tried to do a system update & it worked I again got an option to do software update!

Sorry but I don't find what you've said as a solution. I definately don't believe that waiting 2 months after you received the update is a solution. I think that you got the OTA for a second time.
I will not do any factory reset: doing a factory reset DOES NOT do anything. In fact it changes an unique Google ID that Motorola uses to update their mobiles phones and could actually reduce your chances to receive the OTA. This was explained by a Google engineer- So for anyone reading this DO NOT FACTORY RESET your phone. Let's just wait; we are already in the batch-

You all can force OTA.
Go to settings => Apps => All => Find google service framework.
Clear cache and data of it, stop the service & then reboot the phone. Then again try to check for update.
Do it couple of times if did not work on 1st try.

NO! That's actually the same as doing a factory reset or even worse. It's a myth proved wrong. Just google "google engineer OTA" and you'll see how the rollout is done. I can't post links because I'm new here.

Thanks for letting me know, that was an interesting read.

Finally I got it today. It didn't show up as a notification but I checked for updates and Lollipop 5.0.2 was there! Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 (412.3 MB). It's very nice. I believe Motorola is rolling it out officially since it showed up in the System updates check.

Wait... So you're saying since I rooted my phone with TWRP I have to then not accept the update and THEN wait even MORE? How can I use it now? i.e. is there anyway of reverting it to where I can use the update.

[Q] New Google Nexus 6 - upgrade to 5.1.1

Since I first started down this Android path I've always brought my phones direct from big red which, for all the problems it created it did make life simple when it came to identify which ROM to download etc.
This week I broke tradition and dropped some money on Google's lap and picked up a Nexus 6 direct from them - no more locked down to VZW for me if I so choose.
Previously I had a Incredible, then a GS III then finally a M8 - all three rooted and unlocked\S-OFF'd so this isn't my first rodeo.
That said I'm also wanting to tread VERY VERY lightly here because time and time again I read the the biggest reason folk get bricks is because they assumed and didn't ask questions before they flashed.
So, all this aside, here I am with my now Unlocked 5.0 Non branded Nexus 6 with LNX07M with TWRP 2.8 latest as a custom recovery and, as of right now, no root (to help ease any upgrade).
I've found various Stock ROMS out there there would indicate I'd need to be however on 5.0.1 before I could sideload a 5.1.1. Is this true? If so, do I need to blow away TWRP before I do this because when I tried previously to take the update it dropped me into TWRP.
Is there any way I can avoid all this, wipe and flash a Stock 5.1.1 direct? Wiping the phone isn't an issue as there's nowt on it right now. And should I root now, while still on 5.0 or wait until 5.1.1 (because it'll require a factory reset). Would root even survive a 5.1.1 upgrade?
I'm nervous here because I keep seeing lines such as 'T-MOBILE only' and different code letters after the build name seemingly signifying the different vendors. Given that I got mine direct from Google though I'm unsure how I should proceed because I really don't want to be left with an unhappy 6 so soon after delivery.
Thanks in advance!

The main reason that some users bricked their phone is that they wiped the OS and had a locked bootloader which leaves no possibility ro recover the phone
What carrier do you use?
T-Mobile would be the LYZ28E rom and ATT/USC/International devices would be LMY47Z and Verizon is LMY47E.
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008.

Unless something is special about the N6 that I'm not aware of, the OS you update FROM only matters if you're sideloading an OTA file. Flashing factory images, you could be coming from a custom ROM(I just took my old N4 from CM12.1 to stock 4.4 on Sunday).
The current build for VZW is 5.1 LMY47E. I think they are updating to 5.1.1 now(LMY47Z, which seems to be universal now except for maybe T-Mo). I flashed mine from E to Z on Saturday because I bought mine unlocked but it had the VZW build, and I'm on an AT&T MVNO.

Still with VZW for now, but, as I said, I didn't purchase the phone from them, I brought it from Google direct so it's carrier agnostic (well, in the US at least!) hence my confusion. The last thing I want to do is flash a ROM that's carrier specific but I don't know which one to take with this being the case.
As for the order, my M8 needed to go in two stages to jump from my old Venom build due to changes with the radio (I think) - hence my question there.

If you root, you'll.never get an OTA anyway, sonit doesn't matter which rom you flash aa you can flash any other rom.over it
None of the carrier specific roms will restrict anything, or add branding, so go for whichever.

Really? Is there a reason why they exist then? Usually my understanding was that they contained carrier specific items including radios and bloatware.

There's no bloatware on these roms.
Verizon rom includes binaries that make VoLTE work properly on their network where as T-mobile adds a kernel fix to allow their wifi calling to work. And that's it...

So what would be the benefit of flashing a Verizon ROM is, for example I should suddenly decide to go to T-Mobile next week given that I didn't purchase the phone from them?
Sorry if these are noob questions but this whole carrier agnostic\yet not agnostic thing has me really wanting to make sure my phone stays as agnostic as it was when it left the factory, bar a VZW Sim nestled inside and a VZW APN entry.

Interesting. So this would leave me to believe then that, should I decide one day to jump carriers, I'd be better off flashing a ROM for that carrier at the appropriate time?
This being the case, why would the phone come with no carrier specific software on board from Google? Wouldn't this mean I might get a degraded service?

If you want to use T-Mobile in the future you just flash the LYZ28E rom.

Well all Nexus 6 used to get the same updates but tmob and red, wanted approval on theirs - and now we know why.
Since google are still sending these updates and they update onto generic builds, they can only use your sim card as the identifier.
If you leave root out of it, the only way you can avoid the vzw update is to manually update to something else (something vzw updates won't work on). Each OTA looks for a specific build to flash on and won't flash on anything else.
If you do accept the vzw update, you'll never get away from them unless you manually flash a full factory rom.
Bringing root back into it, OTA will never flash anyway, so you'll have to either manually flash factory or flash rom.zips in TWRP

This is already explaining a lot! So, given that, as I said, I'm not bog standard non-carrier specific 5.0 (and I've yet to even migrate my SIM over) the suggested action would be to download LMY47E 5.1 (as 5.1.1 is not yet out for VZW as they ALWAYS seem to be last to the party) and flash it via TWRP? And I can do that over my LNX07M build?

There were no carrier specific ROMs when Nexus 6 came out. Using any rom on any Nexus and they will all act the same, except you wont get improved volte or wifi calling on those carriers. Their changes will not prove detrimental on other carriers

Now the murky seas are de-murkyfing!
So go for the VZW build for now with the knowledge and understanding that if I ever decide to bid them a less than fond adieu, I'd be best at that point flash a factory image OR flash another carrier specific ROM once I've chosen the new carrier?
And should I root now, or post the 5.1 flash? I'm guessing post because I'd assuming flashing 5.1 would blow my root away.
I assume I can flash post VZW 5.1 because the boatloader is still all mine and the flash doesn't effect that. Right?

Depends how you do it.
Google factory images are flashed from a computer using fastboot.
You may be able to find a rom.zip of that version on xda that can be flashed via TWRP.
As long as you aren't flashing an incremental OTA, you can flash over anything. OTA actually patch files not replace them, so they can only be flashed on the rom they are intended for.

Why not go with a custom rom like chroma? Get 5.1.1 now and personally it works really well.

I'm sorry if that sudden flash of the light coming on in my head just blinded you, but that's what happens when things start to make sense!
OK, so, this all being the case, and that the OTA's are incremental, then in order to go 5.1 with the build from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493 then I WOULD need 5.0.1? Would that work though if I'm on a generic build since, if it's expecting to patch existing VZW files, wouldn't it fail because they're not there? Failing that I'd need to find a flashable 5.1 for VZW (if one even exists)?

But it wouldn't have the VoLTE improvements, etc, right? Besides, right now I'd like to stay as stock as possible as it's not just my phone I'm working on, both myself and my wife got one at the same time and I know she will most definitely NOT want anything other than stock.

T-Mobile says update rolled out. Is there a way to force?

According to this page
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18109#update_download
T-Mobile began rolling out 6.0 on October 5th. It states in the instructions to perform the update manually is essentially performing the android check for updates however I get no prompt to download the OTA.
Has anyone found a way to force the update? Possibly resetting the device?
Thanks!

Wait for the OTA, sideload when someone gets the link or flash the entire image (lose everything)...
Keep pressing that update button, but it does nothing ..

I'm literally going to beat a dead horse but why, are even Google's devices subjected to this ridiculous update process? If someone wants the OTA then they should be able to get it..

I am rooted on TMO and did a manual update to LYZ28K a while back. I clicked on Check for System Update just for kicks and it downloaded a 23.2 MB file. Any idea what that is?

There are methods you can use when manually flashing to not lose data. (Don't flash userdata.img) be it through fastboot cmd directly, or through the use of a toolkit like Wugs.
OP, save yourself the headache and just download the update and fastboot it. It's a unified image so there is no need to wait for a "specific" version.

You can still get OTA's as long as you're not rooted. Unlocked bootloader doesn't matter. Anyways, even if you did root, you can just manually flash the next update the same way. Takes less than 20 minutes to do.

We do, it's called the factory images that google provides, we get the updates immediately (had 6.0 on release day), if you want to "wait" then it's only on you, the means are out there to get the updates right away, otherwise, gotta wait for the carriers. Android isn't and doesn't seem like it'll be like the iphone, independent from carriers as far as updates. Unless Google grows some nads and lays their foot down, this is how it will always be sadly.....once again, unless you just get the update and do it yourself like maybe 80% of the community here.

While II respect the fact that the majority of the XDA community is willing and capable to erase all data and side load 6.0 this isn't something that should be accepted in 2015. I'm not asking for Google to be like Apple, but for a Nexus device, a device designed to offer the latest and most up to date version of android, to be forced to wait for weeks for a proper OTA update is just ridiculous. I simply laugh at the android 6.0 articles that the tech blogs are releasing when 99% of the user base doesn't have access to the software.
Like I said I know that this has been discussed time and again, it's just hard to believe that a company as mature and advanced as Google, can't get an OTA rolling out to all 5 million Nexus 6 owners when Apple does in fact provide the latest software, on day one to multiple hundreds of million users. It's honestly quite gross.

Nope, you don't have to erase your data to sideload an update (keep in mind that sideloading an OTA isn't possible if you have root, custom recovery or custom kernel). You don't even have to erase any data (provided that you don't need to unlock your bootloader prior to flashing) if you flash a factory image (even though it's nice to clean out the old system once in a while).
This was just a tangent, my real reason for replying follows:

Of course they can roll out the OTA to everybody at once, but they don't want to (and I agree). Check out this article (2 years old, yes, but the base principle still stands):

You don't have to wait weeks. You have to potentially wait days, sometimes it is hours. Soon someone will snag the OTA url, if they haven't already, and then you can use ADB to sideload it without needing to wipe anything.
I haven't been following too closely, but I actually haven't seen anyone that has stated they have actually received 6.0 OTA yet. Some people posting they were, but they were getting one of the security fixes. Maybe they actually haven't pushed the OTA to the Nexus 6 yet for some reason?

It also has nothing with Google's ability to roll updates out to all of the Nexus owners. It is how they decide to stagger their updates out to people. They do this to make sure everything goes smoothly. If they put an update out that causes some sort of major problem, it would suck if it was in the hands of every single user, rather than just 1%.

The only update I received today was LYZ28M sadly. Not sure why they don't just have an app where people can download Nexus updates any time instead of OTA.

I got all the important stuff backed on Drive and most of the time I get all back even without backing it up

I'm not asking for Google to be like Apple, but for a Nexus device, a device designed to offer the latest and most up to date version of android, to be forced to wait for weeks for a proper OTA update is just ridiculous. I simply laugh at the android 6.0 articles that the tech blogs are releasing when 99% of the user base doesn't have access to the software.
Like I said I know that this has been discussed time and again, it's just hard to believe that a company as mature and advanced as Google, can't get an OTA rolling out to all 5 million Nexus 6 owners when Apple does in fact provide the latest software, on day one to multiple hundreds of million users. It's honestly quite gross.

has anyone with at&t get marshmallow yet

i have LMY48M build number , anyone get it yet or am i better off flashing a stock image

I have a Nexus 6 on AT&T with the same build number as you. I haven't received the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update yet either. I'm new to Nexus, so I'm not sure how long it takes for AT&T accept the update. I would probably wait for about one more week and if it hasn't come to you by then, then yes, I would flash it.

I was notified that the OTA was downloaded and ready to be installed this afternoon about 4:30 PM EDT. I haven't installed it yet, I'm still waiting to see how gaining root access plays out.

same as always. if you havd root, you can not apply an ota, it wint work. if you don't have root, you can take it, then root your n6 just like any other nexus ever. 1 unlock your bootloader, 2. fastboot flash twrp recovery, 3. flash supersu in your new recovery. that never changes on any nexus, since google makes it easy for us to root.

After further reading it looks like the update I have is to LMY48W, not MRA58K.

My dad has AT&T and is still waiting for the 6.0 update on his Nexus 5. He's still on LMY48M and it says his phone is up to date. He won't let me flash the factory image for him either....

I got my Nexus 6 from Amazon but I have AT&T. Do you guys have HD Voice/VOLTE enabled? I did a live chat with them yesterday and said because I don't get my updates from them, I can't use it even though it's in my area. I have the apn nextgenphone showing up, just not getting hd voice.

I am on LMY48M as well. I bought mine unlocked from Google but am running it on Cricket Wireless. Does carrier matter on how long it will take to get pushed out?

I'm on Cricket, got a new Nexus 6, it is still on Build number: LRX22C , 5.0.1
How on earth do I make it OTA update to something newer?

Not sure why they said that...the Nexus 6 isn't listed as one of their HD Voice capable phones. Until they get their act together with that, no one on AT&T will have HD Voice on the Nexus.

I got the MRA5BK update on my Nexus 5 on 10/8 on AT&T but am still waiting for it on my T-Mobile N6 and my N9.

Mine automatically updated to 5.1.1 when I first set it up.

I just made mine update by removing the Cricket (AIO) SIM.
Stopping the google framework, clearing the data.
Performing the CHECKIN.
Then is started to 5.1 and then to 5.1.1
Seems strange why it didn't start by itself.

And then to marshmallow? If so, could you elaborate on the ?

No, sorry, it stopped at a few variations of 5.1.1

Shucks

I to have a Nexus 6 on Cricket running 5.1.1 build number LMY48T. I got mine to update by pulling sim card and leaving WiFi on through the night. Update to 5.1.1 was ready that morning

They're talking about the update to 6.0, not to 5.1.1.

It is kinda connected though, as it looks like it depends which SIM you have inserted to whether an update happens.

The guy I was referring to said his was stuck on 5.0.1.

New Nexus 6 with no available updates (stuck on old 5.1)

Hello guys. Just bought 2 days a go a new Nexus 6. Blue with 32Gb, unlocked.
Tottaly sealed, broke the seal myself, straight from Google.
But the phone says it is updated, and finds no new update. Im on LMY47D with Android 5.1 and I dont even receive 5.1.1
Tried factory reset without SIM Card, cleaning Framework and reboot without card, everything. To no avail.
Any idea what is going on? Shouldnt I get at least Android 5.1.1?
PS: I know I can sideload it, but still, something is clearly wrong, and I would like very much to sort it out.
Thank you very much.

Same issue here. Only I'm on 5.0 and can't find any update and I would prefer to not sideload already.

if you want your phone to check for an update, you have to be on WiFi. if in youre on network instead, itll always say up to date.

I'm on wifi. It still shows no update.

Same situation, on Wifi offcourse.

Try a factory reset, then remove your carrier SIM and power up on WiFi. My bet is that your N6 will start churning through OTAs in sequence. Not sure that you will get all the way to Marshmallow 6.0, because that last OTA is still being rolled out.

Already did it... waste of time, no updates

If your not willing to simply download and flash the images from googles website, that is your choice... but there is nothing to do but wait.

Hi Guys I am in the same boat, brand new n6 on 5.0.1 and saying up todate . In uk and carrier is Virgin if that helps.

Something strange is definately happening with Google update servers...

same dilemma and same version as op..

Personally I was like you all. I got my nice shiny new n6 from verizon (free upgrade...) Got it home kept pressing check for updates. Tried all the clearing app data from frameworks and all that.
But in the end I sideloaded it. I documented it over on the OTA url post. It is not that hard, just need some time. If you don't want to wait it might be your only option.
Total time invested was probably 1.5 hours. Downloaded all the files to my laptop and started using WUGFresh.

Stop waiting and update manually? It's not difficult, you can even save your userdata by not flashing it. There are different (and possibly easier) ways to install an update other than sideloading. especially when you can skip all the OTAs and flash directly to 6.0.
No need for a tool kit and it won't take much longer than the time it takes for you to download the factory image and extract the files.

The point is that there might be something wrong with Google's OTA servers.
Or maybe something is wrong about these phones ?

Thats my point exactly. What if theres something wrong with the phone?
Google should clarify why old updates are not being delivered... not even questioning 6.0, but 5.1.1

same issue on new nexus 6 of my girlfriend. I manually sideloaded up to 5.1.1 (it's the international version) and now she's waiting for 6.0

Why is Google not delivering OTA updates to these N6 owners ?
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Because there were a couple of security updates between 5.1.1 and 6.0 (as far AS I remember on my N6) and because I want to be sure OTA works!

This issue is becoming more and more coomon. Lot's of people complaining on several forums about this issue.
At least its easy to see something is clearly wrong with the OTA's, since no one is getting any. There is people stuck on 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.1, etc whichever came preinstalled stays without updates.
