Nexus 6 no Android 7.1.1 update - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there, I had 6 months break from android but finally bought new Nexus 6 today. It was android 6.0.1 and then I updated it to 7.0 nbdx91x but as can I notice there is android 7.1.1 from 5 of january but my phone can't find any update ? It says that android 7.0 is up to date. Is this update only flashable ? Thanks for any help !

You can find both the full images and the OTA's posted by google (with instructions on how to flash them) here: https://developers.google.com/android/images

There is actually a February image. I recommend that you use the OTA method because it's very simple and won't destroy your data.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota#shamu - 7.1.1 (N6F26R)
Before you do this, be aware that both the 7.1.1 images have a bug, currently being worked on by Google and may(!) be corrected in the March security update. The bug leaves the bottom speaker active during loudspeaker phone calls, resulting in an echo on the other person's phone and making loudspeaker calls impossible. If you don't make loudspeaker calls, you should have no problem. Or you could wait for the March update and avoid the problem entirely.

Nexus 6 factory images

I was looking at the Nexus 6 factory images. It looks like it jumps from 6.0 to 7.1.1, then back to 6.0, then 7.1.1......is this an error or were the 7.1.1 beta builds ?
Also is Google still making factory images for the Nexus 6 ? I thought that development was over for it, but I am pleased to see not so.
Take a look at the "shamu" section: https://developers.google.com/android/images
It's all there.
EDIT: I think you are affirming that =P Yes, we're going to receive security updates from now on. 7.1.1 is the final Android version.
Google is releasing three builds per month. One build for android 6.0, one for android 7.0 and one for android 7.1.1
Development was over at android 7.1.1 And all build has security patches only.
Correct, I was just confirming that the security updates were being rolled out. Then after Nov that's it huh ? Only custom development ? This is my first Nexus where development will stop /

Well, every Nexus get software updates from Google during 2 years.
Seeing all the ROMs in development/original development, the Nexus 6 is far from being dead... :good:

Official OTA Support

How long does Moto typically support their low end phones like this one?
Motorola today is Lenovo and i think they only support the flagship phone not our moto e4 / plus that on mid-low level
Normally they only give an update or two over about a year and that's it.
I just had an update this past weekend around 400MB with a build date of Dec 5, 2017. Build #NPR23.58-45, and security level patch of November 1, 2017. My phone is 1775. Still 7.1.1, but at least it's getting security updates.
Just had another update today.

Same here. I have yet to download it though. I will probably go do a complete back to stock and update staying unrooted till they stop.
Can someone please get me the latest retail ota zip? I made a ROM from the updated system, but I need the ota zip to make a partition updater.

Last one I got was April 1, 2019 on my XT1900-1
The latest update for the is the May 1 security update.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/
Using it on my Android 1 Edition and it's running very well. The March 1 update had a weird bug where the ZRAM would constantly crash slowing the phone to a crawl, no such issues on the latest update rooted with Magisk.

Hi! Is it possible to convert the reteu model (xt1900-7) to an Android 1 edition?
Thanks
I'm have the Android one edition and I just received the July security patch, if that's the updates your see referring too.
On Android One - Fi's channel (but, current sim is on T-Mobile USA) - got a system update 3 days ago and again another (2nd. one) update last night. Here are the screenshots - check & compare yours
PPW* included some system upgrade, where as the other one was a smaller Android security patch.

This could work. For a while I had run my XT1900-7 (RETEU) with XT1900-1 (RETAIL) ROMs. Everything worked except for Google Pay.
Hi, I just got July's update this morning (Moto X4 XT1900-7 RETEU)

Yes, it is possible, but OTA's will not work. Only fastboot flash full ROM every month will work (if full ROM will be available for download...)
I am getting mental with the Moto X4 xt1900-7 Reteu. What about the updates? I got this phone from Amazon Spain, but I am currentlyin Germany, the phone came with the basic 7.1.1 firmware, and got authomatically updated to 8.0.0, OPW27.2, Security Patch Level: 1 December 2017. I bought this because of the small size, and his compatibility with Lineageos, but I need the Android 9.0 Pie before installing Lineageos (this is stated in Lineagerom webpage). The update never come ...... System Update says "Your Device is Up To Date".... Frustating!!! Do you know if there is a version of Lineageos that I can install fromOreo 8.0? or can I download Android Pie for my Moto somewhere? Sorry, getting totally mental Can anybody help me please?

Solved!!! Maybe someone would be interessed about this, just posting my experience
Lineageos installation instructions say the following: Warning: Before following these instructions please ensure that the device is currently using Android 9 firmware.
My Moto X4 XT1900-7 Reteu didn´t get the Android 9 update (still no idea why), it took me 3 days looking for a way to install the update manually with no success. Then I decided to try install lineage-19.1-20221123-nightly-payton-signed.zip anyway and it worked
The process was totally smooth and extremely fast, everything seems to be working perfectly, but I would like you to know that I didn´t install any Gapps, so I can´t confirm if this could create any problem.
Thank you to XDA and all the contributors, this is a fantastic source of info
