Does anyone have any clue what Motorola intends to do with this phone, the GSM Global XT1603 running 21.11.23 firmware?
I thought they pushed out an OTA for all of us but apparently it isn't true.
So nobody receives OTA update for the device except me?
That's weird.
I do not get it. still 21.11.23
I finally got it on the other G.
It's weird that they pushed OTA on one phone then stopped 'til two weeks later.
Anyway, both of my Gs running the latest 5.0.2 now
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.

What build were you running before you got the OTA to 5.1.1?

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 need some help. I have a Verizon S8. I flashed the unlocked firmware and am running the phone on T-Mobile. The problem is, I cannot seem to flash the phone back to the Verizon Firmware. It's also not acting like an unlocked phone, but rather a T-Mobile phone (complete with T-Mobile splash screens, even though I never flashed the T-Mobile firmware). No matter how many times I flash the Verizon Firmware using Odin, the phone still boots up as a T-Mobile phone. Any ideas?
I flashed my Verizon s8 with the files from this page, everything works flawlessly, no bloat.

Hi all,
I bought the Galaxy S6 from AT&T when it came out, but switched over to T-Mobile from AT&T last year. Because of this, I have been unable to get any updates and have been stuck on Android 6.0 when the current release is android 7.0, so I've been thinking of flashing my phone. I was curious as to whether I'm able to flash my G920A with Tmobile's G920T rom? Would it work? And if so, after I flash it, would I be able to receive updates normally from T-mobile's servers, as I'm currently using a T-mobile sim, or would I have to flash every subsequent update?
Thanks
Doubtful, since AT&T has a locked bootloader. If the bootloader was unlocked you might be able to try.

You cannot flash a G920T firmware on a G920A. First off, Odin won't let you because the G920T firmware is only signed to be flashed on the G920T.
And even if you somehow rooted and used FlashFire to force the firmware onto your device, the firmware would brick the device, and without a USB jig or SD card port, the brick would be permanent.

I too am seeking answers on this as I have an SM-920A I brought over to t-mobile. Unlocked the phone, installed the t-mobile SIM and the phone works fine, except, it still has all the old ATT apps I no longer need or desire to be there AND without the T-Mobile apps installed, I cannot use their LTE Signal Booster. Is there any way I can install these t-mobile apps that would have come with the SM-920T load?

Just do this and remove the AT&T apps you don't want completely.

So, what can be done -- if anything--to solve this issue?
-wrong
Has anyone received this, as an unlocked device or one running carrier firmware? I've seen a lot of mentions that even as much as a week ago ATT released it as an OTA but I still haven't gotten anything as an unlocked phone running U firmware.
I also checked Frija and was able to pull the phone up under TMB and SPR (but not VZW or ATT obviously) and it's saying the latest firmware is still Android 10. And I can't even use SamFirm because I get that authentication error lol so is this update live or not for US/ATT?
Thanks!
I have an unlocked G781U1 converted to ATT G781U and still no update.
unlocked, running on ATT, no Android 11 update yet, not even the Jan. Security update either.
Unlocked, running on Verizon, no OneUI 3.0 update or Jan security patch.
Unlocked and no OneUI 3 joy here yet
I've been watching here...
Downloading OneUI 3.0 update now for unlocked on Verizon!!!
OneUI 3.0 showed up this morning. Unlocked phone purchased from Samsung currently on T-Mobile. I'm in AZ if that matters.
Unlocked T-Mobile sim, got One UI 3.0 this morning.
Unlocked on Mint. Received 3.0 update this morning. Installed and feels like a new phone. And no touch screen errors now. Still December security patch though.
just checked now, unlocked on AT&T....
Just started downloading here. Unlocked on Verizon.
