• “Do note, if you have a Nexus 6 not on Sprint or US Cellular, do not attempt to flash this image.”

  Why? Is there some inherent reason why this is bad for those on other carriers? Both this build and the LYZ28E build work great on Verizon. Just curious.

  • Yeah. Not to be weird about it or anything, but Android Police has it listed as “Sprint, US Cellular, and International”. It’s an upgrade from LMY47D, which is (I believe) the general release that everyone but T-Mo had. I did it and it is working fine on my N6 that I bought from Google and use on Cricket.

• Fragmentation within the Nexus line. The irony.

  • Except its not. The irony.

• The differences in these builds are not just radio differences, either. The kernel is different between the t-mobile and sprint builds. Fortunately the bootloader is the same so that’s something, but, this is just odd. Hey, AT&T, wake up. LOL

• See this is what I was afraid of, on Verizon you will have to wait for the Verizon build…ugh!!!!!

  • No, you don’t. Both this build as well as the “T-Mobile specific” LYZ28E build work fine on Verizon.

    • Can i do the OTA on my n6 verizon from LMY47D?

      • Yes you can sideload it for sure.

        • Thanks… funny how everyone is complaining about it being T-mobile only…

• Just think, in a few months we can get the Verizon version 🙂

  • Or just install/flash one of the current 5.1.1 builds now that both work fine on Verizon.

• I love that picture. Say whatever you want about her size, but I think my girl is sexy.

• I thought this firmware ending in Z was also the international version and would work if you were currently on firmware ending with D. Purchased from Google on Verizon.

  • The OTA for the LMY47Z build is applied from LMY47D.

• Hmm… Which factory image should I use if I have an unlocked Nexus 6?

  • Whatever build is for your carrier

  • they are all unlocked….

    what carrier is it being used on?

    • I got my phone from Google directly but it has a Verizon Sim in it. Guess I’m waiting for a proper Verizon build.

      • you should have started out with 5.0.1 but needed to manually flash the LMY47E build. verizon and google have recently released an OTA to bring any nexus 6 with a sim card to LMY47E. so you should see that OTA or just flash the factory image.

  • The one that is associated with your sim card

  • None, Apparently. If you’re on T-Mobile or Sprint you can flash the factory image for your carrier. If you’re not on one those, you’re waiting.

    Welcome to the Nexus 6.

    I’m starting to think we’ve made a huge mistake and I’ll be wanting to sell this and get the Huawei 5.7″ nexus this year. hopefully it’s more like real nexus phones used to be. Although the Nexus 5 had two versions for 5.1 (it looks like they re-merged that back into one image for 5.1.1).

    Edit: Apparently if simple and timely updates were your thing, you should’ve stuck with the Nexus 4… Or me I mean, I should have. It’s the only one that’s remained one version simple the whole time (phone wise, not tablets).

• These different builds confuse me. Mine was purchased from T-Mobile online at launch and has LMY47D. No roots/roms/sideload etc…. and yet the “TMobile” one is a different build to update from. Will just wait for my ota update like normal

  • Yeah, ive heard of that happening. Its weird because you will ( as far as ive seen) never get the OTA if you are on the “D” build. You’re only solution is probably going to be flashing the new factory image. which means you will have to unlock your bootloader if you havent already

    • thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on it and then flash if I need to down the road.
