Did anyone ever figure out what the changes between D and E are?

at the very least the radios are different....95 in the D image and 98 in the E image.

So I have a Motorola Nexus 6 that I just flashed the OTA for (LMY47D). Did I screw up not waiting for this version since I use this on Verizon?

Huh I sideloaded the OTA so I guess to get the new radio I need to unlock the bootloader and flash just the radio?

I'm flashing the new radio now. (t-mobile)

no, not really....the 47D radio works fine on VZW.....some have reported that the 47E works better, others have said its the same.....YMMV
I havent flashed the 98 radio yet but more than likely will
---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------
The E version from Google is 16MB smaller than the VZW version as well....

I didn't notice any change from the radio that was in 5.01, just sideloaded on Sunday but the few data tests show LTE to be worse than before.... wifi on the other hand did improve. I guess I'll just wait and see what others have to say about radio 98 as opposed to 95...

boot.img, recovery.img and system.img are also different, according to 'diff'.

So if those are all different, there must be an OTA out there or on the way also?

No, you didn't screw up. That "was" (LMY47D) the latest factory image posted for the Nexus 6, this is "now" (LMY47E) the latest factory image for the Nexus 6. Just flash the newer one now....if you want.

phoenixus if you did a side load like me, to use the factory image, you need to unlock the bootloader... just be aware this will wipe the device so save anything you want to keep to your PC first..... picture, songs, etc......

OK, so I've flashed LMY47E on my stock 5.1 (rooted and TWRP) and it's working fine (3 UK network):
Rebooted to bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img (maybe not necessary for such a minor update)
fastboot reboot
Warning: this sets recovery back to stock (even if you don't flash recovery.img) so you have to then:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-shamu
IMMEDIATELY reboot into recovery by scrolling to the recovery option in the bootloader and pressing the power button
flash SuperSU
Reboot and you're done.

Anyone figure out what the changes are?

From Android Police :
People, this is the firmware variant that shipping on devices purchased from Verizon. Pre-orders have shipped and people are beginning to receive them today. If you own a Nexus 6 that wasn't purchased from Verizon, you won't be getting LMY47E over the air or anything else. The two branches will be merged with the next OTA, presumably.
There is, for all intents and purposes, no reason to use this over LMY47D, unless you're using your phone on Verizon and/or want the newer radio. And even if you are using Verizon, LMY47D works fine.

So I am slightly confused.... in this thread, everyone talks about flashing the factory images with fastboot.... in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/stock-verizon-nexus-6-firmware-image-t3053052/page9 they are all talking about mfastboot. I am going to guess booting into recovery and issuing adb commands that have been repeated here a few times (after unlocking the bootloader of course) will get the job done correct?

It's boot img agnostic.. meaning you boot this boot.img, it actually takes the current boot.img on the device and injects root into it. So it uses whatever boot.img is currently on the device. So if you are on the .5 kernel it should work, if you're on the .6 kernel it works

It was made for the 1095. You can give it a try and let us know. If it fails it doesn't screw up anything (I don't think, since in testing it failed for me many times before he got the bugs worked out) Theoretically it should work as I said it's boot.img

Is there a step-by-step for this? I never rooted any of my Note series phones, so it's been a while.
1. unlock bootloader from moto site (follow instructions there) ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED - BACKUP EVERYTHING FROM INTERNAL STORAGE
2. ensure that you have fastboot / mfastboot / android SDK installed and setup (including PATH)
3. enable usb debugging on your phone
4. ensure that you have the appropriate drivers for your device installed
5. reboot to bootloader
6. check to make sure you have the correct drivers installed
7. type fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095.img
8. phone will reboot.
All of this is in the OP. good luck

you alone are responsible for the health of your device, if you are at any point worried about causing damage, do not proceed. I will not buy you a new phone if you break yours.

T-Mobile OTA URL 5.0.1 LRX22C to 5.1 LMY47M

5.0.1 Build LRX22C OTA to 5.1 Build LMY47M "T-Mobile"
http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-shamu-ota-LMY47M-from-LRX22C-fullradio.zip
I have LMY47D/E 5.1 on my phone.
Here are instructions on how to flash it without wiping.
Your bootloader MUST be unlocked already, if not, these instructions do not apply to you so don't do them, it won't work.
These are the steps I did that worked for me. No guarantees that it will work for you, or if it wipes or bricks your phone.
Basically, you're downgrading your phone to 5.0.1 then running the OTA. NO WIPE!!!
1. Turn off all security code/pattern lock/pin, set it to None. Set OEM Unlock in Developer Options on just in case.
2. Reboot phone to bootloader (adb reboot-bootloader), or Power+Vol Down while the phone is off.
3. Download the LRX22C system Image, and extract all the zips.
4. Run the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Restart bootloader (Not sure if it's necessary but I did it anyways)
6. Go to Recovery Mode from the bootloader.
7. Sideload this OTA from the stock Recovery.
8. Look at your phone and command window on pc, make sure everything is 100% or Success/Finish. If no Errors, then reboot phone and you should be golden!
Green Android with Red Exclamation mark is stock recovery. Press Power + Vol Up to activate the menus. I sometimes have to press them a lot to get it to show.
If your PC does not recognize ADB Sideload mode, unplug your phone and plug it back in, it should work. If not check Device Manager and reload ADB drivers.

It's suppose to be an android with his belly open with a red ! mark on it. Then you have to do a Power + Up to get to the menus
That blue spinning one is something else. That's a flashing icon when it does a real OTA.

Hi guys,
I reverted back to LRX22C with WUG's-no root or custom recovery and tried to ADB sideload the update and I get the error shown in the attached photo.
I did rename the file to "update.zip". Any help on this error message?
Thank you.
UPDATE ** Figured out why I was getting the error. I had the "No Encryption" option checked when I reverted so the update wouldn't take without the stock factory image. Flashed the stock image and it went through no problems at all. Now the question of the day is if I can get root and a custom recovery back on this damn thing!
I just finish side loading it......

I had the same problem then I remembered I was using Franco Kernel.
Just boot back to recovery and run fastboot flash boot boot.img where boot.img is from the 5.01 factory image file.
Then continue to recovery/OTA sideload procedure.
@nxt Maybe add an optional step to flash boot.img if anyone is using a custom kernel in the instructions?

What if u already stuch with 5.1 47E bootloader, flash the one from op but when about tonto recovery, got the same woth the other guy, android with the spinning thing and not exclamation.
Anyone know what the difference is between the M and E builds? Is it just the radio that's different or something? Also, I just flashed the E build for the second time(redownloaded it) and notice that it came with the 98R radio instead of 95R(which I'm pretty sure came with it before.)

How to Upgrade to Android 5.1: 23.16.3 (FOR MOTO X Pure Edition ONLY)

For Moto X Pure Edition(XT1095) ONLY
There has been a bit of confusion on how to do this, or the instructions are deep inside the other threads. So this is just to make it easier to find
Despite what people are saying on Reddit DO NOT DOWNGRADE TO Android 4.4.4, IT IS A HUGE RISK AND COULD POSSIBLY HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE
IF YOU ARE ON 23-11-14 SKIP TO PART B ON THE #3 POST BELOW
PART A
Motorola released the new Android 5.1 OTA (23.16.3) and of course as of right now the original soak test users(23.1.28) have been left out. Now unfortunately in order to install the new OTA you must downgrade back to Android 5.0 ,which requires you to unlock your bootloader( Now, because you have the XT1095 Pure Edition this will NOT void your warranty). However you can relock the bootloader AFTER downgrading.
Proof that it doesn't void warranty found here >>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/unlocking-bootloader-moto-x-pure-t3004779
-The Guide to do this can be found on Motorola's site here >>>>> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
The guide is at the bottom below downloads.... Make Sure you follow those instructions carefully as I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for you bricking your device!
DO NOT FLASH bootloader (motoboot) and partition table (gpt) Thanks JulesJam
-Android 5.0, link found here >>>>>> http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNGRADE TO Android 5.0: 22.21.11(Full Image) NOT 22.11.5 or 22.11.6 AS THOSE ARE OLD SOAK TEST VERSIONS
-After you downgrade to Android 5.0 you can then upgrade to the new OTA found here >>>>> http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php
CONGRATS you are now on the latest version of Android 5.1(23.16.3)
I will be updating this guide as I receive feedback so please be patient and keep the thread clear so users can get help as needed
THANKS
PART B
IF YOU ARE ON SOAK TEST(23.1.28) PLEASE GO TO PART A ABOVE AS THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU
So as it turns out you can actually upgrade from the 5.1 soak test(23-11-14) directly to the new OTA(23.16.3). All you need to do is download the ZIP below and boot into recovery and select install/update from SD and locate the file on your phone.

Yes, unlocking the boot loader requires your phone to be wiped, after that you will be able to install each subsequent update with needing to wipe

People on the 60.16 bootloader have bricked doing that. I would NOT do that if you are on the 60.16 bootloader. Instead, do not downgrade to 4.4.4 - simply downgrade to the 5.0 images (system, kernel, modems, baseband, recover) by flashing them.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO DOWNGRADE ALL THE WAY TO 4.4.4 AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DO THIS AND THEN TAKE THE 5.0 OTA AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ON 5.1!!!
The safer thing to do is to simply flash the full 5.0 images (except for the bootloader (motoboot) and partition table (gpt)). Why on earth would you flash back to 4.4.4 when the 5.0 stock images are available for your device? It makes no sense at all and people with XT1095's have bricked when they were on 5.1 then flashed back to 4.4.4 and took the 5.0 OTA.
It just makes no sense to do it this way.

So, if I'm on stock v5.0 rooted with TWRP and unlocked bootloader, I could simply unroot and flash back to stock recovery and then sideload the OTA, correct? Haven't seen a clear answer on this.

Here is a tutorial for the MX13, works same for MX14 but obviously, you use the MX14 files. And I would flash stock system before I did it.
How to SIDE LOAD an OTA.ZIP via this process

Do you have to install the radios as well?

What have you done to your device? Just rooted 5.0 and installed a custom recovery? Or did you take the 5.1 soak OTA? Did you flash any different radios?
What you need to do depends on what you have done.
Noob question here... The 5.0 factory image file has the system.img file separated in several sparsechunk files. How can I flash those, or put them back together into 1 file?
And... another question, do I need to use motorola's fastboot commands or is it ok with normal android ones?
Thanks a lot!!

Regular fastboot.
fastboot flash system system_sparsechunk1.img
do each one until they are done.

sparsechunks can be flashed with regular fastboot. A single file system.img needs to be flashed with mfastboot.

I was on the the 5.1 soak.
I downgraded to 5.0 based on the guide and the below commands
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
Then I just sideloaded the 5.1 OTA in the guide.
Baseband version

Did you use mfastboot b/c regular fastboot won't boot a single file system.img.

Yes. I installed each sparsechunk.
Is the radio version the current 5.1 OTA radio?

If you did this using the stock 5.0 images, then you are back on the 5.0 radios.

March Security update

Is up on Google developer website. MMB29V
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-mmb29v-factory-0b4a53f0.tgz
Edit: No change in bootloader or radio.
Thank you for upload. my work blocks google dl but not drive for some reason XD
Has anyone been able to get the checksum to verify? the MD5 for me doesn't match from the link provided or the Google image page.
just tried as well off the Google image page..MD5 does not match :|
I just downloaded from the stock images page also and the MD5 matches for me.
They just changed the MD5 code to match the factory image I downloaded. The new one matches my image.
How does one go about flashing this?
Flash all files through fastboot, except userdata.img?

Just flash the system.img and boot.img. No other files changed. (FWIW, not even sure that there's a change in boot.img, but just in case....)

Will do and report back.
Stupid question, but does Google post changelogs?
Other than the security patch, could anything else have changed?

Thanks so much!
It worked. I flashed it and wiped cache in stock recovery. It's Optimizing apps now, and should be done soon!

That's what I was getting too just wanted to make sure he was at least on 6.0
@holeindalip @cam30era
The build date on the Kernel version changed. ( Kernel is boot.img right? )
When I was on MMB29Q, it showed Dec 10 2015
After MMB29V flash, it shows Jan 20 2016

Kernel is included in boot.IMG with other files.
I compared md5 between mmb29q and mmb29v and boot, system and recovery seem different.
Noob question here:Is recovery different because I have twrp installed or shall I flash it too?

I think that boot.img should be flashed. I don't think that it will override your TWRP recovery.

I asked about recovery.img, I know that boot.img has to be flashed. Nevermind, I flashed both of them, just in case, and twrp after all flashes[emoji6]

What I find funny is that some of the patches are not even included in the update but in the updated binaries.
Also there were changes to the kernel. A few of the issues were kernel issues.

December build are up

Go to the Google site guys...build is up...looks like one to rule them all
Here is a link to the OTA https://developers.google.com/android/ota#sailfish
Or if you want the factory image
https://developers.google.com/android/images#sailfish
Interesting there aren't separate builds...
Do they post a changelog anywhere? Curious what changes are in store.

More interesting... it looks like the 6P will have a separate build for Verizon this month...
Waiting for non verizon build like the one from November
This build NMF26O seems to have a newer baseband than the Canadian update (NPF26J). Hopefully LTE issues sorted for those who have it.
I haven't finished extracting it...is the bootloader the same or has it changed?

do i need to flash every OTA or just the last one? currently on 7.1.0 (Europe, NDE63U, Nov 2016)
google is not really informative at this point
I'm getting the December OTA as I type this. I have a 32GB Pixel with locked bootloader, from the Google Store.
EDIT: Now I'm getting it on my N5x as well. I haven't seen an OTA roll out this swiftly before.
OTA just popped up... Verizon pixel 128gb
Do those of us on Verizon have to worry about thisessing up unlocked bootloader if it's already unlocked??
Also curious if this patched the bootloader exploit used
has anyone flashed the factory image or side loaded the OTA for a non-VZ device yet?

very nice, which commands did you use to flash?
I'm currently rooted with TWRP alpha2 and SuperSU SR5. I'd like to update without losing data.
My system is on Sot B so I'm thinking:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system_b system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
and then to get TWRP back:
fastboot boot twrp.img
- TWRP install twrp.zip
Reboot into recovery
- TWRP install supersu.zip
Does the above sound accurate?

I just sideloaded the OTA onto my VZW Pixel with unlocked bootloader. My bootloader remains unlocked and I flashed twrp and SuperSU SR5. So far everything is working fine.
According to the dePixel8 website (http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html) "dePixel8 is patched in Android 7.1.1 and newer, do not ask for future support or any kind of support."
So if you take this OTA from the phone (on an unlocked bootloader) you may well be locked out for good (unless someone finds another exploit).

Thanks for the reply. I did some more reading and realized it's safe to install the OTA since I'm already unlocked. The update can't relock it. I already installed it via OTA and everything is ok
sorry, big time newb here. How do I flash the update if I have Verizon pixel with bootloader unlocked and with twrp installed? OTA doesn't work and I don't want to lose data....please help
