Hello,
I still haven't got the 7.1.1 OTA update. Every month I keep getting the security updates for the 7.0 version. I checked my build version and compared it with the one mentioned on google's site and my version is NBD92D ( Mar 2017 ) which according to google is the build for ATT only. I am not using ATT , Infact I don't even have ATT in my country!
Does anybody else have this problem? Do I have to sideload the Image?
Yes, just sideload the image.

I do have the same problem, last night I received update and applied it, after that I've checked the version is also NBD92D(AT & T). My Nexus 6 is bought in HK but not HK official goods and sourced from Australia. However, I am not able to verify my Nexus 6 is not AT & T version and the only way is to trust the Google update program version check, luckily until now no problems notice on the phone.
In the meantime, I do also consider to update to 7.1.1 (N6F26U) but my phone does not popup any update on the system update check, and right now the N6F26U update is removed. Now I plan to wait and see any further action/update from Google on Nexus 6.
@mega23mac: The AT&T Nexus 6 has the Death Star logo on the back and has its service locked to that carrier. If you had one where you are, it wouldn't work at all if locked and if unlocked likely wouldn't get LTE. To verify the model, enter the bootloader. In your case you want to see model number XT1100 in the display.
With that out of the way, if you want the latest 7.1.1 on your device, go to Google's developer pages, download the latest OTA image, and flash it. Waiting for an OTA is pointless with a Nexus device.

That's the suspicious part, my Nexus 6 doesn't have the "Death Start" logo on the back, and I can get LTE, and I do see the model no. of XT1100 in the bootloader. But from the Settings > About phone > Build number, what i saw is NBD92D (the update is from OTA).
However, I am consider to flash the N6F26U as the Android Pay failure is not important to me as I use it not much.
Thanks, Strephon.

How will you flash that update? Google pulled the image immediately after they got to know about the android pay failure

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.

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.
I bought Moto E4 Plus, XT1774, Verizon prepaid version from Target a week ago. Bought an unlock code from eBay to unlock it successfully and it is used on Tmobile, all good.
I also removed several Verizon apps via adb commands. But I read somewhere that if I do a factory reset, these Verizon apps will come back. I have not tried it.
A few days ago I saw a system update notice, says new version: NDRS26.58-33-2 is ready to install. My question is:
1, Should I install it just for the security update benefits? I do not know what's in this update, assuming security update.
2, Is there a way to delete this update that is already downloaded to my phone? There appears to be no option to delete this download and make it go away permanently. I will be nagged by this alert every week I suppose if I cannot disable it.
Thanks in advance for any tips ,
Not sure if it will cause issues with what you did. More than likely it will just install the new version, and re-add the apps. Unless you're rooted I don't think you can delete the update. It will keep asking you to install until you do.
Didn't think the E4 Plus would get any updates. I got the Sprint version, and haven't seen any updates yet.

It will continue to get system/security updates, but not OS upgrades. The system/security updates are based on carriers (unless you have an unlocked version then you'll get them from Moto when ready).

With having the sprint version, so far I haven't got any security updates. I have the June 1st security patch. I did flash the unlocked version ROM, so I wonder if I will get an update directly from Moto and not worry about Sprint delaying them.
Another thing I wonder is will Moto release an update soon to take care of krack vulnerability?
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.
I have the Olympic Edition N950N and I see that there is a software update for the phone but it is not showing up in the OTA or with smart switch. If I were to use Odin to update my phone, would the Olympic boot screen and theme be deleted on my phone? Or should I just wait and see if I get the OTA at some point?
I would recommend that you wait for it to become available via OTA rather than install manually. As you might accidentally install the OS for a different variant onto your device and brick it.

Ok, but I saw this for the KTC model, hopefully I will get the OTA soon. If you have a N950N, did you get your update yet? I know the other carriers have also got thier July updates as well. And they look like big updates as well, samfirm said it was 3.5 GB, and I haven't had an update since may with the April security patch. But thanks for your help!

Yes, I did not receive the OTA update to pie from Motorola yet (xt1900-7).
Glad to hear it, I was starting to think something was wrong with my handset.
Me too. We were left behind.
OTA server issue?
Are you in the UK? My moto x4 is stuck on the exact same update. XT1900-5, reteu software channel.
Motorola UK's website shows that the Pie update has been released when in actual fact, it has not been released at all. I have a feeling that there has been some error or issue with the OTA server causing no one here to recieve it.
A few people got it in December when it was released for all other variants, but that OTA clearly stopped soon after and now there have been no updates since October. It's a pretty poor performance from Motorola to be honest. I see no reason why they can't at least release security updates for Oreo.
Yep in the UK XT1900-5, unlocked.

With an unlocked bootloader, you usually will not get any OTA updates. If you can download them, then you cannot install them.

I meant unlocked, as in SIM free.
I've emailed Motorola, who told me they contacted their technical team. They are adamant that Pie will be released officially in the "near future" and they are aware there haven't been any updates since October. So, take that as you wish.
The Android 9.0 update has just appeared on my phone today.
Someone over on reddit mentioned that he wasn't getting it ota, but temporarily switched to a SIM from another carrier and it immediately showed up when he booted to the new SIM.
It seems that it now says on Motorola's UK software upgrade page, that the Moto X4 sim free began rolling 9.0 on 24th June 2019.

That would've been me. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence though because the update was released on the same day!
I had a similar experience. XT1900-5 version, running android 8.0.0 when I bought it. Didn't find any updates when I searched to try to update it to android 9 (pie) , I unlocked the bootloader, and later on decided to put a sim in it. After a few minutes of having the sim in, it found the update. The update downloads but when it's downloaded and in the "verifying" stage, it fails, probably because I unlocked the bootloader.
Advice to anyone with a locked bootloader - don't be like me, try putting a sim in the phone and get the update before doing anything else if you want Android 9.
