Can you switch from LMY48W to LMY48T in order to upgrade to 6.0?

Hi, I have an unlocked Nexus 6 bought direct from Google. Somehow it became the AT&T version of 5.1.1 (LMY48W). This means that there is currently no OTA upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow for LMY48W.
However, as there is an upgrade to 6.0 from LMY48T, it is possible to either:
Edit the build.prop to trick the update –*and would this cause any problems?
Change my Nexus 6 to LMY48T some other official way?

1 - I wouldn't.
2 - Yes, by flashing a factory image, but in that case you might as well just move straight to Marshmallow. If you don't want to wipe your phone, just skip flashing the userdata image.
(There's a bunch of guides for this, search or check the stickies.)

1. Even if it did download an update, it wouldn't do anything but cause problems for you as the file verification would fail.
2. Why don't you just download the official factory image for Marshmallow and flash it via fastboot?

It doesn't take much to do it manually. Learn to do things without a toolkit and you'll be much better off.

binaries failed to update
Just installed the lastest security update (6.01) from google on my nexus 6. Flashed v2.66 and binaries will not update. Any suggestions?

Thanks My Brother ?

Reflash the kernel.
Unroot.
Reroot.
Should work.
Hope that helps.

I am on CM13 1/6/2016 nightly on angler, and this is causing a bootloop now. Before this newest nightly, I was able to install with no problem. Systemless also still works.

Nightly comes with problems.Look Angler's XDA thread and ask others which nightly is the most stable build.

The reason I think is that this is the first update with the newest vendor.img. That's the only thing that seems out of the ordinary.

Well, just reflash last update before this one.
Or, just wait another update with the fix.

Solution 1(Tricky, and may not work) :
Try to mount data and system using mount option and remove mounting script on the updater-binary.
Then, use TWRP file manager to remove /supersu manually.
At last, install the zip again.
Solution 2 (not really a solution) :
If you really cant mount data or system, ask the rom dev or someone on your phone's forum for solution.
Solution 3 (1% chance of working) :
Dont bother about the bootloader.
Check your boot image instead.
Solution 4 :
Check if you have chcon on system/bin.
If not download this file and move it into system/bin.

Can this be flashed over systemless root to convert to system root or will I have to flash my system.img backup then this. I'm running systemless root on Htc M9 Marshmallow dev edition

I installed 2.64 beta via TWRP. It installed successfully however upon reboot it shows i still have 2.52. Is that normal?

Don't know. Maybe install the app on the zip manually. Update the binary and if updating fails, full unroot and re-root with the new zip.

No, full unroot first.
Then, remove /su
Replace the kernel with new custom one.
And then, flash the system mode zip.

Maybe not avaiable for your phone.
But most Marshmallow phone devs already made custom kernels for their phones.

Thanks for this, @aufarxda. Can you tell us what you did and made it always install in System mode?

No, you must upgrade to the marshmallow bootloader and unlock that one by following the directions in hsbadr's other thread. Then you flash the Stock Restore in Odin.

So i have a developer edition, can i just odin this and go? or do i have to install and unlock a bootloader as well? root/unlocking took so long i didnt keep up.

Is the safe upgrade PD1 rom is Pre-rooted.

It probably isn't, since it's not a custom ROM but just a set of Stock firmware files.

The only time you guys can flash directly any MM ROM is when you already on MM Unlocked bootloader and rooted. If you are on 5.1.1 Unlocked and rooted, you have to follow the OP instructions, doesn't matter if you have retails or Dev Edition.

And here we go.
Anyone have any recommendations on how to backup my Android install before I flash this?

Are you rooted? You should be able to backup in recovery if you are.

This won't replace Recovery, right?
---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------
The first link goes to the BPA1 download. I didn't notice, and ended up waiting about 30 minutes for it to download before I saw it .

This method is exclusively for Developer Editions, right? Retail users have to follow the steps listed in this thread? Otherwise both methods get users to CPD1?
Never mind, I see it says Retail/Dev in the thread title...

Missing Applications Manager?
So I went through this process twice, the first time because wifi wasn't working and the application manager (Settings -> Application) was missing.
On the second shot, wifi was working again, but I'm still missing the app manager.
Where I expect Applications, I see Application Settings (the part where you can set the default program, etc.)
Did this happened to anyone else?
Anyone have a fix for this?

I have a developer edition Note 4 and am currently on 4.4.4 ANJ5. If I upgrade to CPD1, can I safely downgrade to any prior release (4.4, 5.0, 5.1, etc.)?
Would I follow the same process as going from 4.4 to 5.1 and vice versa?
I've found that I like 4.4 better than any of the 5.0 ROM's, but I want to try 6.0 now that it is out.
Thank in advance for your help!

I'm curious as anyone been able to root this.

If you unlock it and install twrp, you can try flashing SuperSu then. But if you root the stock rom it might not boot, that was the case with LL. Had to flash custom kernel.

If you use the Jasmine ROM v6.0.1 by hsbadr - which is almost like stock MM - you can get root. Jasmine ROM has the custom Multisystem kernel for MM to root.

I did, but not with the Applications manager. After going ODIN back to 5.1.1, unlocking and upgrading the bootloader and then applying the MM Safe upgrade, twice, I got wifi, but not Applications manager.
I ended up using the full firmware found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937 and just flashing straight to 6.0.1.
I don't have root, a locked boot loader, complaints about dm-verity and DRK in recovery mode, but I have a working MM with Wifi and Applications manager and Android Pay.
I'm happy at the moment, thanks for the help.

and wich version did you use also did you got your bootloader unlocked and twrp installed?

Hi!
I've tried to root my P8 lite (ALE-L21 B564, MM ) and I stuck at bootloop. I reflashed my boot img, system img, recovery img, and now the phone is working fine. I tried also every oneclick root solution, no one works so far.

if that doesn't work try doing a local update or go into the thread and follow the unbricking chapter or the converting chapter

Nexus 6 Nougat Root with SuperSU

I can't seem to find the answer to this.
I've just flashed the Nougat Factory image for Nexus 6 and want root. Can anyone confirm is the latest SuperSU is compatible? I've flashed TWRP and downloaded the latest SuperSU but just a little hesitant to flash it in case of issues.
Thanks a lot.

Yep I rooted just fine. works ok.

Perfect. Flashed and working great. Thank you! :good:

If you enjoy having an unknown organization having absolute godlike control over your phone, then sure, use stupidsu.
But if you like to have auditable and sane control over your own device, I would very VERY much suggest that you instead use https://github.com/seSuperuser/AOSP-SU-PATCH

new to Nexus 6, just got Nougat OTA, whats the best way to root and have double tap to wake (will it drain battery big time?) and notification led? pls help, tia
btw I use Mac

Isn't the nexus 6 supposed to be 100% stock Android and with that being able to be rooted by any root method? I know I've read many times that if you want to get into root and hacking to pick up a nexus device as they were easily recoverable and weren't root blocked by any means

Not sure what exactly you're asking but the Nexus 6 is easily rooted when using the proper methods. Unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash TWRP recovery and then flash SuperSU or Magisk in TWRP.
