To get the builds go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493
Your build is at the very bottom, if you are wanting to do the OTA updates.
You will need to follow the path up on the builds so
LRX21O from LNX07M
LRX22C from LRX21O
LMY47D from LRX22C
and so on...
But the key to this is how to apply the updates...
Goto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfDSZsr6230 and watch that video. You will need the Nexus Root toolkit from wugfresh.com
It shows you how to sideload the files one by one. I was also stuck with no OTAs from verizon.
So I may have already goofed. I bought a Project Fi Nexus 6 and want to use it on Verizon now. I don't remember what build I was originally on but last night when tooling around, I have gone to LRX22C from whatever I had before. I thought I would be able to get OTAs on my unrooted/relocked phone but everytime I check for one - nothing happens, it says my phone is up to date but clearly it isn't as LRX22C isn't even 5.1.
Do I have to follow the path using WUGfresh or can I just jump clear up to the universal Marshmallow build and be okay?

If you are on verizon, I could not get any OTA's to work and I was on LMY47E.
If you want to go to MRA58K then I would follow the chain. Else you will probably have to wipe all data on you phone.
LRX22C is One step below LMY47E for Verizon.
I did a whole post on how I got it up to MRA58K over here
jdice
Skip the OTAs. Download MRA58K, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata. Voila! You're on Marshmallow with all of your data saved.
Learn how to do things manually and magic like this can happen.
Well, no one told me that I had to do all those shananigans to cover for Googles crap...
Ill probably just return the damn phone and get an iphone... at least the updates there are really like they should, not this crap, this false advertising Nexus devices are updated fast and automatically...
Also, let me talk to my clients, the ones that also bought nexus 6 from the store where I work, some of them with 50, 60+ years, and tell them they have to Download MRA58K, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata... I guess they aill all be thrilled at how easy the process is when compared to other phones...
Really guys, get a grip for god sake, not everyone wants to be bothered by such things.
Also, this posts are here to bring attention to a situation happening to alot of people, which is updates not available as OTA on phones, even old updates. If any of us wanted to sideload it or flash it we would have done it already since there 10000's of posts explaning it right... I wouldnt actually need for "nhizzat" to explain it to me!

That's not something you have to do, it's an option. It's also one of the reasons we buy a Nexus, to be able to update manually instead of waiting.
If it's not something you're interested in doing, keep waiting. Or return the phone and enjoy your iPhone. I, for one, don't care if you do nor if you convince your 50+ clients to do the same.
I thought you've bought a more than a year old phone because it was cheap, but still had good specs. Amiright?
So if it sat on a shelf for more than a year, why should it have the latest software? Also why should anybody care that it's not the month old Marshmallow on it? Go and complain on iPhone-not-developers that you can't install iOS9 on a 3G.
This is XDA developers and not the Google support hotline. Here people give you solutions for free, too bad that it's above your skills to try it yourself, but then at least don't be rude to those who try to help.

You could at least read the damn thread no? The OP said its not getting the old 5.1. update... he mentioned 6.0 but he said he is still on 5.0
I know for a fact that update 5.1.1 is more than available but he is stuck on 5.0.... get it?

I did read it. And I didn't understand your anger then, I don't get it now either.
To a 50, 60+ user as you said it, it really doesn't matter if it's 5.0 or 5.1 or 6.0. It matters to you. And if you can't flash it yourself, then take it to a GSM shop, they'll do it for you. Perhaps they'll look at you funny if you say you read about it here.
As for the OTAs, instead of ranting here, you should ask Google support if it's something wrong with their servers.
Edit: I've bought mine cca two montha ago, and itcame with 5.1, and I've got an OTA immediately. Maybe there's something wrong with the updates from 5.0. A lot of people have bought N6s now because of the great price, maybe they'll notice the bug and fix it.

Yes, you seem like an iPhone type person. Psychologically speaking.
Let me guess, one of the 30% of new iPhone users they have been advertising as Android deserters? Not yet, maybe next year, but maybe this actually shows something, and why people go to them... reliability

Great, you found your new love. Bye.

So I've used Googled a bit (pun intended), and found out that there was some hickups with the n6 and n9 OTAs to 5.1.1, so probably if your device doesn't show updates it's intentional.
OTAs only want to install if your device only has genuine factory contents. So the the update checks everything from recovery to system, and if all checksums match they apply the update. However, sometimes the update died mid update, and from then on either the phone didn't start, or it did, but remained mostly unchanged, but since some files were replaced refused to update.
So I say patience, it's possible the OTAs will be available when they fix this. But for those who came here to XDA to learn, it's easy to do it manually.
Still Android 6.0.1
Anyone got a clue as to why? I thought they abandoned OTAs on this device?

I got it as well, it doesn't seem to be a security update since it still shows Nov 2016 as the last patch level.
Also looks like CPK2 was pushed to other countries in December, so it might just be bug fixes.
162.73MB Getting it now....wonder what it's about?
Funny thing, I was just thinking yesterday about flashing a ROM to it because I just had a feeling there would be no more updates....wrong feeling, glad I didn't...
Info says:
Version: T800XXU1CPK2/T800XAR1CPK1
Screen shots attached
The one with the red circle is AFTER...there's a new item listed...
So I guess that's the 2016 November-December patch that I have been asking about in this post. If you have been keeping your eye on sammobile, pretty much every other country got it before the USA. In fact, it took so long to appear that I already lost any hope.
Ok 2 questions around the AT&T Pixel 4 December update
1. Has anyone received the OTA yet?
2. Since the factory image for December is up on Google and labeled specific to AT&T, does this mean Google baked it entirely and AT&T will not touch it? Did AT&T send any carrier specific mods for Google to bake in the monthly patch? I know some carriers like to add their own pieces to updates but I was wondering why Google has an image labeled AT&T?

1. I haven't received it. Side loading it now.
2. It's a mistake on the downloads page. The one labeled AT&T only is meant for every other carrier except T-Mobile & Fi (version *.11), and Japan & Taiwan (version *.016.A1).

I'm assuming your phone is completely stock and its bootloader is locked?
If that's the case just sideload the OTA image for your phone using the stock recovery. Follow the instructions here:
https://developers.google.com/android/ota?hl=en
This process will not reset your device. It's just a manual way of updating your phone instead of waiting for Google to send it to you.
Curious as to who releases the update? Carriers or Google direct?

Images are developed and provided by Google monthly. Did you look at the URL? See the very straight forward instructions there. Those monthly images are also referred to as "rescue OTA's". Applying OTA images is really an essential skill for those with locked bootloaders. First step is to "install" the latest adb/fastboot binaries. This is essentially extracting a zip file into a folder, and reading the instructions right there on the same web page. I challenge you! You can do it. This is a walk in the park for you who presumably was partially dis-assembling HTC phones and jumping solder points to get S-On and root. If you need some pointers just PM me. I'm working a lot of hours but can help you at night.

Lol indeed and almost 15 years ago! Oh I am sure I can bro but not sure I want to after reading some of the issues with flashing the ota and uncertainty of which img to use. This post I was actually wondering who pushes the actual ota, Google or the carriers? If i had an unlocked bootloader I may actually root but asides kernal and minor mods, I'm not sure root is beneficial for me now. Used to oc the processor and push the devices but there's plenty under the hood nowadays lol.
I feel like I'm back on my Samsung! Updates that don't deliver. Asides from vanilla Android, another was prompt patches/updates coming from the horse itself is why I switched to the pixel. Total disappointment
Mine is updating right now, just got the update tonight. I'll follow up after it installs

Its always going to be slower coming from a carrier than it is from google.... So I really wouldn't expect updates any sooner than mid month of the release. Honestly, this is the fastest AT&T has EVER updated a device. I just got mine tonight (had to manually check for a system update)

I am on T-Mobile and bought an unlocked Pixel 4XL. They are dropping the ball with these updates. This is 2 months in a row for me. I don't mind them holding off if they fear it is going to break the devices but I shouldn't have to sideload an OTA every month when there are other devices, a few being Samsung devices, with the December security patch.
I usually receive my updates around the 5th of the month. November 2022 was my last update. The phone was bought direct from Google unlocked. I use it on Consumer Cellular (AT&T). I've called google support and posted the issue on their community forum. Support said to factory reset but admitted they have no idea of what's going on. My post was locked in the community forum.
I saw on the XDA Pixel 5 forum that there was some issue with the releases but its not confirmed by Google.
I'm more concerned over security patches than bug fixes. My phone is working fine.
hi.
i bought my 5a, like you, from Google and unlocked.
i use it in Argentina.
i never received any communication about updates but i allways get my monthly update looking for it in:
config-system-system updates
try that way
right now i have all the updates, the last is January 5
I also am stuck on Nov 5 with a phone bought direct from Google. I am on Mint (T-Mobile MVNO).
Manually re-checking in system - system updates - check for updates reports that it is up to date.

Yep, same here. Just checked and says I'm up to date with the November update.
i don´t know how your cell companies work with google, but i knew that in other brands of phones there were different kind of updates, direct for the unlocked phones, with the cell companies attempt to intercept those updates to modify it, perhaps something has changed after November update giving them the control.
my cell company does not interfere.
did you ask the operators?

I'm still on December 5th security update and November 1st Google Play system update on my Pixel 7
Like others, I bought my Pixel 5 unlocked, direct from Google.
The last update I received was November 2022. Typically, on the 5th of the month or so, I could pop into settings and check for update and it would be there.
I saw reports on several sites of an issue with the Dec update on 5 and 5a phones - some getting bricked - and so I didn't so much mind never getting that update. BUT, this was a pricey phone, and I buy from Google specifically to get 3 years of monthly security (and feature) updates.
Google NEEDS to provide some manner of explanation. If they would just state that there's an issue and they are working to address it, just that acknowledgement would be appreciated.

Yes, I have the same problem, no update on my 5a since Nov 5th.
Googles lame "support" function can be reliably counted on to punt with a factory reset recommendation whenever they don't know the answer. The next suggestion will be to exchange the phone under warranty. Of course, if it is no longer under warranty then you are SOL
Has Google head Sundar Pichai laid off the help to save some $$?
Both of my Pixel 5As on Google Fi never updated beyond November. I finally gave up and sideloaded the January OTA on mine. My wife is still stuck on November on hers.

Can you give more info here? Is there a way to safely download and apply the update or does it involve a reset and firmware install?
I went through the google support chat and ended with them pointing me to https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection to "manually install the system update". I haven't pursued it yet, because it talks about doing a backup and restore and I'm not looking forward to that...
I'm not sure my app state will be preserved and it will be a hassle to go through other recovery processes for some of them.
I am a Linux user and relatively clueful about computers, but naive about Android. I think I'd be able to follow some ADB command steps, but I get put off by web discussions around Android that expect folks to download from sketchy looking file-share sites and blindly trust whatever is in them
FWIW, I tried to follow the support advice at the pixelrepair carrier selection link above. After wiping and reinstalling my phone using the appropriate "USA Others" carrier choice, it left me with the exact same TP1A.221105.002 build number I had before and the same problem of showing up to date with Nov 5.
So a big waste of time and the incomplete backup/restore I expected means I get to piece back together a number of extra app accounts etc...
Edit: the next support reply just says something similar to what others said above...
Thanks for trying the steps. Our most recent Pixel update will be deployed at a later date for a small subset of Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a (5G) users. We are currently re-evaluating the build before distribution to this group.

I haven't noticed any new issues. The Bluetooth connections to my Garmin watch and Dexcom CGM are still a little flakey sometimes, but they have been since the upgrade to Android 13, so nothing new there.
I figured Google would have pulled the OTA images off the official website if there was a big enough problem.
There have been reports of the OTA causing the black screen death, but I thinks it's just coincidental and the phone was going to die anyway. I decided I might as well get the repair/replacement over now before they end the extended warranty for it.
FWIW, mine got an update today and so went straight from Nov to Feb 5 patch level.

You can ADB sideload updates, even on a locked bootloader, without wiping your device. If this ever happens again and you're months behind on the update, just sideload it rather than being at the mercy for Google to actually push out the update to your phone.

Yes, that's always an option, however, there was enough internet chatter about it being deliberately withheld, or causing issues with phones that I was reluctant to take that path.
Google's silence on these topics doesn't help.
It seems to be happening again in March - the phone does not find an update either manually or automatically. There are March images, Factory and Full OTA, available on Google's site though. I'm wondering if there is a reason to not install the update with Fastboot. This is all very odd.
I have the SM-781U AT&T locked model. The last OTA update it's received was June 2022. Up until that point it got them like clockwork.
Anyone know of common things that could be preventing OTA updates? I may have disabled something that is needed, though as far as I remember, I hadn't really been disabling stuff since the first month or so I had the phone, in 2021.
I tried doing a logcat when requesting an update check, but nothing jumped out at me. If anyone has anything to look for there, I will try it again!

hello colleague
we are almost the same, I have G781U Unlocked. (TMB)
but all the updates I have to do by pc odin.
I'm about to install the February patch but with the DSH system.
I already tried with USC - TMB
but the updates via ota never arrive.
I had looked into the Odin method, didn't find AT&T G781U firmware (only G78U1) and I don't want to lose anything like hotspot, wifi calling, or visual voicemail, so I haven't taken that plunge yet.

Luck
if someone can say why not, we get the update via ota.
If you can not fisn the firmware on Frija or samfirm, it does not exist for your csc and/or model. You can flash another csc using Odin without disabling Knox.

Has anyone figured this out yet? My AT&T S20 FE SM-781U hasn't received an update for 13, not to mention, my last security patch was October last year.
Is there some sort of base Android 13 that can be downloaded and manually installed? If there is and I can find out how to install it, I will do it haha.

Not that I could find (Also, sorry about the slow to reply thing haha) It's driving me insane because

Seems like everyone is getting this update around the globe. I can't afford to buy a newer phone, so

certain on that) and it would destroy me to brick my phone, or lose very important information.
With that said though... Are there custom Android 13 Roms floating around now? I am not very good at
navigating these forums and finding correct info. I'm older and have Early Onset Alzheimer's, which at the
moment, isn't to big of an issue. But, it does make tasks like these much harder than they use to be.
But I am desperate and I know I have got to get this updated for my security and welfare. As I said, there's
no way I can't afford another phone, not even used or refurbished. So, at the moment, I sorta have
my hands tied. I am sure there's a thread somewhere with the answers, but after weeks, I cannot find
a thread, speaking on this situation.
If someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for the reply above.

Not that I could find (Also, sorry about the slow to reply thing haha) It's driving me insane because
my last update of anything, was in Oct 2022 when I got Oct security update.
Seems like everyone is getting this update around the globe. I can't afford to buy a newer phone, so
I really want this one to last as long as possible. But I am pushing it to have so much important and
sensitive information, on a phone that hasn't updated the security in 6 months haha.

If this device has more updates, but not in your region, just flash a different csc. Do you see any update with a different csc. I have some devices on android 9, so it’s rlly no biggie if there is no more.
