Only difference for you then is one is newer than the other. So use the newest (48i).
Further info: ALL Nexus 6 can use the same ROMs. The only difference is that some US carriers have specific ROMs to add functions or just so they can approve the builds themselves. So you just need to avoid the Builds that are specifically for T-Mobile or Verizon IF you want OTA to work in the future. Otherwise, you could use any.

Hello!
I currently saw two variants of official 5.1.1 (1 for T-Mobile and 1 for Sprint/USC).
I'm wondering if I can install this to my Nexus 6. I'm using the international variant.
Thanks
And why the rush? What do you think you are going to gain from 5.1.1?
also waiting for 5.1.1 they fixed a battery a bit there so device will work a bit longer)

Use the Sprint build.
I'm resetting up my unit from scratch every update so I was thinking that after I setup my Nexus 6 on 5.1.0 for hours the 5.1.1 will come out. So it'll be a waste of time.

Is that the official build for the international variant or just a workaround? Thanks

Excuses are not very practical. Could you explain better. But I can flash with Odin, the bootloader is not locked?

Did you get anywhere with this? I have an unlock SM-N920A and want to update to Marshmallow
So N920A or N920T unlocked version work without problem in EU? But, how about custom roms, because I see what developer works for F/I/C/L/K/S/G models, A and T less interest.
I looking to buy note 5 from USA (because C models in EU 1.5-2 times expensive).

so you had problem with OTA, but after everything OK? because, I will root phone. What about GSM frequencies, 3G 4G works good? Did you tried custom roms? Did you have any problems?
Thanks for answer.
AT&T phones will have severe problems with ota updates. You must connect to the AT&T network to receive OTA. Odin firmware cannot download. Updates are useless unless you are on AT&T

Alright guys, so I have a quick question I'm unsure about. So I bought a Nexus 6 off of the Google Play Store, and I am using it on T-Mobile. So for the wifi calling feature, I understand that I would have to have bought the device from T-Mobile themselves for the feature to be built into the OS correct? And if that's the case, is it safe to fastboot flash the T-Mobile firmware to a device bought off of Google Play? Or is that a bad idea because of a different chipset of some kind? Thanks!

Yes, you can flash the t-mobile img and get the features they offer.
Just to clarify:
All N6 are the same. What build you get in an OTA is decided based on your sim-card (if you have a T-mobile sim, you'll get the T-mobile build).
In other words, if you're using a T-mobile sim there should be no reason for you to flash an image. Unless you've been tinkering with your phone (root, custom recovery, custom kernel), then you have to use the images to update since it'll be impossible to install updates through OTA.
So it doesn't hurt to flash any of the builds that's on the Google developers site for my nexus 6? None will brick the device somehow? And also, I have a T-Mobile sim in my nexus here, but my phone still updated to LMY48M not the T-Mobile build. I have tinkered with the device, yes. It is rooted right now and I have flashed images to it before. I have flashed LMY48I earlier on and just last week flashed LMY48M. But I did an OTA update from stock LMY48I and it took me to LMY48M. Sorry if this is confusing.

Yes, when you're in the US.
Here in Europe (Netherlands) we use a different image, although we have also T-Mobile.
It is good you ask about this, because there are many others that are/were confused.

Yes, it is safe to flash on any Nexus 6. North American or International. Every Rom works on Every Nexus 6. Regardless. The only difference is if you are on T-mobile or Verizon, if you want WiFi Calling or VoLTE (respectively) You'll need their specific builds.
Oh yea, it's definitely confusing haha When it comes to flashing anything Android powered, there's almost always a possibility to brick so I had to ask. Alright! Thanks guys! I'm gonna flash the T-Mobile image today because I am on T-Mobile and this phone is still on the US International image.

So just to clarify, there is no risk in flashing ANY of the images for the nexus 6 because all nexus 6 devices around the world are the same chipset correct?

Just making 100% sure, it was said yes, but not directly. They said "go ahead and flash the T-Mobile build" but as for "any" build, notice the word "any". I just wanna make sure, sorry I don't wanna hard brick a $700 device.

If on T-Mobile flash latest for T-Mobile. If not on T-Mobile flash latest Generic which is every carrier but T-Mobile. It not rocket science.

Have the unlocked version from Amazon, want to convert to T-Mo firmware so US Cellular roaming works properly, along with faster updates.
Don't see the US T-Mo firmware on Sammobile. Is it available anywhere or not yet?

why would you do that ?

The unlocked software version of the device doesn't support some feature like the ok nest he listed that he wants to make sure works. So flashing it to T-Mobile software ensures all T-Mobile features will work correctly and fully.
Well, It appears we wont be able to flash the international ROM. I assume this means there are some kind of optimizations on the T-Mobile version that we wont get on the international.
This really is a shame, i'd like to have dual sim + faster updates. But i need better support for my carrier (T-mobile) as i have enough issues Signal issues and MMS not working over wifi on my 3t, while my other unlocked phones Motorala x4, Samsung s8+ work without issue.

Flashing the international ROM is not possible for the T-Mobile device. Other custom ROMs are possible, the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T has a specific modem signature that cannot be modified. - Kameron S.

I'm planning to buy the TMo version and trade my original OPO for the $300 credit. Pay it in full, wait 40 days and request SIM and boot unlock. Then go to the official or beta branches of the OxygenOS and receive all OTA directly. I hope this can be done.
icantbreak said: ↑
No Beta versions because the bootloader is initially locked, or no Beta versions at all ever on the t-mo version?

Is this "specific modem signature" the optimizations for the T-Mobile network that have been mentioned? And what exactly are the optimizations?

Thanks!
I reached out to a few staff members and got the answer that the TMO hardware will not be able to receive direct updates, this puts it out for Beta at this time.
The truly detailed optimizations I cannot speak to, I do know they went with a specific variant that works best with their network.

We'll see about that.
If the best we end up after unlocking the bootloader are frankenstein firmwares, so be it. Or wait for the rumors of a 845-wide PBL exploit.
Give it some time. Any customizations, such as the T-mo modem, will be pulled and released. It shouldn't be too long before we can flash an international rom and the T-mo modem. I wish we could find out more about the other customizations, though. For all we know there are significant changes to system RPC or kernel
We won't know any of these specifics till we can root the tmo variant and start pulling things more system level things.. shouldn't be too long now tho just gotta wait on OnePlus to send out the unlock.bin files.
