Is there a way to check which revision I have without the hassle of unlocking bootloader? and how do I know that which date it was built? tried searching the forum but found no results.

The date build is on the box (212 or 301), revision version you can check with apps like DROIDinfo from Play.

That`s not correct.

I thought you were referring to rom build date and not the device build date

You can also open up a shell (either via ADB or through Android Terminal Emulator) and type:
Code:
getprop ro.revision
You don't need root/unlocked bootloader to do this. Just either have the Android SDK installed, or the Android Terminal Emulator app.

no need to unlock or anything, just switch off your phone, hold vol down and power buttons simultaneously until you see drunk droid laying with its internals exposed, below him you see data of hardware and software version

Only difference on 9023 is the SLCD.
Well I haven't received the 2.3.6 update yet, but my Market just updated... I only had Google Maps and YouTube apps listed as installed and that was it. Had to go to manage applications and clear the data for it all to work normally again. Google must be busy tonight...

The AT&T version has SLCD? I don't think so...
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_google_nexus_s_i9023-3910.php
I thing that this one is only for US 9020T version - not for the EU 9023. Is this correct?

Which note variant?

Edit- So I finally got a custom rom to boot. Using the x note rom with one of the custom kernel options. Any devs out there that can take a logcat or something that can possible fix the incompatibilty with the rom and hardware? My camera and data are not working. Was thinking I would restore just the modem from one of my backups and see if that would get data. Anybody out there that can read a logcat to fix this?
Hey hoping this forum can help me out. I got my note 3 today and cant wait to root and rom it!
Its an lte variant from au network in okinawa japan which is cdma.
Which version of the forum do i need to follow and download roms from?

New factory image posted: 5.1.1 LMY48I

As the title says, Google has just posted new factory images for our nexus 9.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
The changelog is huge. Most fixes are in ART and frameworks but there are still some nexus 9 specific changes.
Have fun flashing
And don't forget to tell us if you notice any changes

Huh the N9 never got the r5 changes??
Most if not all are under the hood bug fixes by all accounts. All works fine, dare I say it, but battery life seems a little better as well. The changelog is posted in a reply post if you really need to read everything Google have done.
Is there a new kernel in this build or is it the same as LMY48B? If there is a new kernel has anyone released a stock version without encryption enabled? I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find anything. TIA.

There is a new kernel, but the previous one (LMY47X) still works. Not sure of the differences, but here's an unencrypted one that I made. Using it on my N9 now.

Let me know if you have any problem with it. If so, I want to remove it.
The LMY47X version was 5.1.1_r2, and the LMY48I version is 5.1.1_r9.
I only have found this Changelogs, into android Police:
android-5.1.1_r2 to android-5.1.1_r3
android-5.1.1_r4 to android-5.1.1_r5
android-5.1.1_r6 to android-5.1.1_r9

My first on time android upgrade. This is the reason I bought a pixel. It's awesome.
I just tried hitting the check for updates button like 20 times since it was announced.. nothing came through. I had a brainstorm and noticed that everyone that posted up screenshots had their phones plugged. I gave it shot, hit the check for updates button and bam.. downloading the OTA now. Perhaps this may help if anyone is not getting and not understanding why, plug your phone in and check again!
Just got the ota ...1173 mb
I got the ota. I'm stock rooted on elemetalX. What will happen if I accept OTA? I usually do system image but I'm at work and don't have my home computer. Will I just lose root?
I received the ota but sized at 48mb..? Is that wrong??
