Nexus 6 giving error during update installation - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got rid of moto turbo for no updates and bought nexus 6 and when I check for updates there is an update of 23.3 mb which gives error during installation.
Android 5.1.1
Build LMY48M.
It says device is unlocked in boot options but its not rooted as I checked it using rootchecker app. There is an app supersu. I am wondering whether it is pre-installed or not. Any idea how to get rid of this error as I am very disappointed right now..

The phone may not be rooted, but your system files are/were somehow altered at one point which is why your update is failing. Was this phone "unlocked" My brother bought an LG Flex 2 online that was "unlocked". Turns out the seller had a new phone, rooted it, then bypassed the SIM check on a software level.
The same issue happened and the update failed. Fortunately the phone was the same carrier that we had, so I wiped the phone and reflashed the stock image and everything works.
In your situation, you will need to wipe the phone via fastboot then flash manually whatever version you want. OTAs are not worth the headache if you have the knowledge to manually flash the newest images.

Oh yeah and no. SuperSU is definitely not pre-installed as part of Google's stock image on a Nexus phone LOL.

just sideload the update. its way better than going through each ota's one by one.

So I can flash marshmallow 6.0.1 skipping two minor updates of 23 and 30 mb plus 6.0 marshmallow one ?
Please also guide me through the process as my device is unlocked so what steps do I need to flash straight to latest update ?
I have never installed update manually so please guide me through simplest method you can as I am unaware of the terms fastboot sideload.
Thanks for the input guys.

In the future, use the search engine rather than asking someone for a link. After all, the search engine links on each page aren't just there for looks, but to be used. Your best starting point will be the Nexus 6 Index Thread.

Assume you meant "fastboot flash the factory image" (instead of "just sideload the update")?

yes.. easy.lol. i was on lollipop as well when i got my nexus 6 last year. i got tired of waiting for the ota. i flash it instead

Your bootloader is unlocked therefore just fastboot the newest image. I loaded marshmallow from the stock lollipop I got my phone and jumped like 6 versions ahead. I'm not sure why people sideboard or OTA. Quite frankly it's a pain and you can flash a new bootloader baseband and system without wiping data.
Just download the newest factory image and flash each one one by one. Don't use the flash all script as that wipes..... Although it doesn't work half the time anyways

[Q] Nexus 6 rooted won't take 5.1.1 update

I got the notification for the 5.1.1 upgrade, downloaded, reboots the phone, gets about half way, and the green android robot lays down and throws up a red exclamation point error.
Looked on the developers .google .com /android/nexus/images site, can't find a 5.1.1 image for my phone (AT&T / LMY47D)
Any way to fix this? Don't care about loosing any apps/data, I can install it all again.
Thanks for your suggestions.
In Lollipop any modifications to the system partition, such as rooting, will result in OTAs failing. I guess to prevent possible bricking.
AFAIK, You should be okay flashing the "5.1.1 (For Sprint, USC ONLY) (LMY47Z)", LMY47Z is the same build AT&T is rolling out OTA. If you're not experienced flashing images there are a couple tutorials on here.

Follow the advice above but i would first do `fastboot erase system` to erase root files before you start flashing to avoid problems.
All done
Got it working - thanks for your help!
Is it wrong or correctly?
I was buyed my nexus 6 before 2 weeks stock, (shamu, international LMY47Z, not rooted)and im not sure is it correctly this on software (firmware) update display?
Wunder is it, when i try check update on down windows, nothing happened like connected on update site or network connecting, etc, only - nothing happened.

Just flash the latest factory image for the international unlocked devices wich is LMY47Z in fastboot, download link https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-lmy47z-factory-33951732.tgz. Flash radio, bootloader (optional), system, boot and format and flash cache.img.

Nexus 6 stuck in 7.0 but getting montly patches

My N6 is still waiting 7.1.1 OTA, surprisingly, security patches come on schedule, but almost three months after release, OTA is not coming. Yes, I know I can sideload it, but one of the reasons I decided not to root it was not losing the ability of OTA updates.... any hint?
Thanks.

You can flash the stock rom and you will receive OTA . Unlocking bootloader dosen't mean root.
You WILL receive OTA updates just do as follows
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash latest fastboot images
3. Lock bootloader - optional.
Make sure you don't keep TWRP recovery. It isn't that good for installing OTA packages via system update.
Please follow the guides if you don't know how to do them. Download the latest one named 7.1.1
Press thanks if i helped

@Pocket_rocket Just a warning though... Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device.
Use the full OTA image instead. I believe there's no need for an unlocked bootloader then.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Edit: a word of caution... If you decide to sideload the OTA, it's not a bad idea to keep your bootloader unlocked. If anything goes wrong along the way, you can then fix it.
And about the update issue. Are you on AT&T? They haven't approved 7.1.1 yet...
Edit 2 (I just woke up, gimme a break ): If you use Android Pay or anything else dependent on SafetyNet, you can't keep your bootloader unlocked (without further tinkering) since that triggers SN.

Hi Didgeridoohan, Mine is now NBD92D (AT&T version and update thru OTA) but I don't see any AT&T logo on the back and my city(HK) does not have any AT&T service. Do you have any idea on this(Actually my Nexus 6 is from Australia).
In addition, if I keep sideload the OTA image N6F26U will cause any problem(except the Android Pay)? As you mention that Google does not approve any 7.1.1 AT&T version(Just tried to sideload N6F26U, it said can't install over a newer version).
Thanks so much in advance.

Yes, but I am too lazy to reconfigure my phone after wipe. Tons of apps, accounts, tweaks etc.

No. I'm on Vodafone (Spain) but I purchased this phone right on Amazon, so no pesky carrier should be acting as a man in the middle, I guess...
I mean, the phone runs decently well, but, given the fact that 7.1.1 will be the last update for this model, I want it. I wonder if is just a matter of patience or there is some other issue that is preventing my phone to get the OTA.
Thanks.
I have the same issue, m on NBD92D, which seems to ATT only, but there's no AT&T in India. I tried sideloading N6F26U, but it didn't work. Any idea how I can get 7.1, apart from waiting?

tried to downgrade to oreo from pie now i'm screwed

I don't see any topic relate to downgrade of razer phone 2 so i decided to try since my pixel 2 or galaxy s9 will not any problem as long as my bootloader is unlocked
but it woudn't work on razer phone 2. i downloaded the oreo factory image from the official website but tried the flash-all now my phone is currupted. since there is no pie factory image available, i think my phone can't recover. I'm thinking if flashing gsi would work?
I lowered the version from 9.0 to 8.1, there were no problems...
You probably did not completely unlock the bootloader. It is also necessary to unlock "Critical Partitions", and after that flash the firmware image 8.1
fastboot flashing unlock_critical

LOL, why would you go from a phone you can root & customize, to one you can't do ANYTHING to (that (cr)Apple doesn't allow you to do!)?! That's the ENTIRE reason I've never bought an iPhone, and have always bought Android, so I can root and customize (I realize there's Android phones you can't root, but I'll only buy ones that CAN be rooted).

Use the volume and power buttons to navigate the little menu and reboot your phone into the bootloader while the phone is plugged into your PC. For some reason the flash-all script doesn't like to run as administrator, so try running it just by double clicking. Also, cmd doesn't like pulling files buried in folders, so put the folder with the script and images in the base of your C drive just to be safe. Windows has this issue with the number of characters in a file's path and refuses to find files if the number of chars in it's path and name are too high.
Any benefits using oreo over pie for the razer phone 2 though? Like is it faster or something? I really don't feel the rp2 needs rooting or a custom rom it's plenty fast enough in my opinion

Verizon 5G S10 will not update firmware/security patches, is it because of current FW

The Firmware I am on is G977UVRU0ASDG
I tried to update OTA and update assistant for PC and both failed saying this firmware cannot be updated. So I am really confused. Can someone confirm any further info about this firmware version? I enjoy the phone and I decided one day to check why I haven't gotten Android 10, and thus this is where I am now.
Also is it as simple as flashing the latest firmware via odin? If so, which site offers a dependable VZW firmware I can try flashing? Can I keep my files or would I have to make a backup first, flash via odin, then restore (which I hate to do because setting up a new phone takes so much time).
But most importantly I am curious to know more about this firmware version and what it is! Seems like VZW doesn't think its theirs. Thank you in advance.
Smartswitch says SDG, what is SDG? Is there a simple refresh/fix so that I can get OTA updates? Please help!

yeah, there were actually some crazy gestures that i noticed they got rid of in the FW i got it to upgrade to. LOL.
I'm having similar issues with the same firmware. Did you ever find a way to update your phone? I bought mine on ebay, supposedly NIB, but it came in generic packaging and said "demo" on a sticker on the back of the phone.

Post some screenshots! How's it feel?
I got it last night as well. It feels different, runs smooth. I need more time to tell if battery is better. I'm mixed on the new UI...but it will grow on me. I haven't taken any pics with it yet...but the app looks different so I am sure there are changes. I love having system wide dark mode now. Overall it is an improvement from a short test drive.
I flashed from att to Unlocked, Is there a way to flash back?

T-Mobile is rolling out Android 10 now ....
T-Mobile
Got it on my T-Mobile V40 device as well. Just rebooted and it is installing right now.
Edit: Size is about 1.3Gb
What is Verizon doing? Why sleeps
Probably seeing what bloatware they can shove into it, first! I'm on a pre-release V40, and often get stuff right away.

Still waiting for the us unlocked version sigh
Has anyone with AT&T who did the unlock via the 9008 mode try this update? Right now my update fails, logcat shows a CRC error because boot_a was modified. I assume if I wanted to apply this update I'd need to restore boot_a and laf_a to the original copy. Then update, then unlock again via 9008 mode. Any issues with the unlock method and Android 10?
Got the T-Mobile update yesterday. The Settings page is completely reorganized and more logically arranged.

Any Android 10 update for the US Unlocked V405QA7? Someone on reddit mentioned it being out already.
I should know better than to ask questions from customer service! Link got me somewhere general, nothing specific. What a surprise.
