Verizon rolling out 5.1.1 to N6

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/07/01/verizon-says-android-5-1-1-lmy47z-is-ready-for-its-nexus-6/
It's happening! LMY47Z.
Not yet hitting my phone, but perhaps by tomorrow ...
I had Verizon's 5.1 build on my phone, but I didn't wait. I just flashed 47Z because I'm on an AT&T MVNO, so I don't know if I would have received the OTA.
It's not on the official Nexus factory image page.

Someone on androidcentral forums confirmed it is. they received LMY47Z as an OTA to their verizon nexus 6 last night coming from E.
I got the ota yesterday, unrooted, flashed stock recovery, and went to accept the ota, started flashing then it said error and stopped, now it says up to date
I just want know if they changed radio but I doubt
Does it have any "Verizon authorized software" added?
I hope it doesn't but according to the letters Verizon sent out responding to the FCC complaints that is why they would not activate a nonVerizon Nexus 6 on their network until Google said that the software could be sent out to those phones via the OTA.

More like they wanted an ota to convert it to the VZW version and they got it. The bloat wasn't really the issue.

Same baseband as the existing LMY47Z
To anyone who's receiving the OTA from LMY47E to LMY47Z - if you're able to, please take a few minutes to grab the OTA URL and share it in this thread. Instructions for getting the OTA URL can be found here, and this will allow people who haven't received the OTA to sideload it.
Thanks!
Question, I have a VZW Nexus 6 I got from a Verizon store a few weeks ago. My firmware version is LMY47l
Is that the correct one? I see you guys talking about an "E" version... When I went back from Android M preview, did I flash the wrong stock ROM in Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit?

Nope and if a phone from Verizon came with that, you were likely sold a returned device instead of a new one.

No, this is my fault. I tried out the Android M preview, and got tired of the FC's and bugs, so I used the Nexus Tool Kit to flash back to stock, and I guess I grabbed the wrong firmware download. I have the Z version for Verizon and will flash that to get me back on track.

Doh!
Ok, so is the 5.1.1 version on this page the one I want to flash to get me up to the latest CORRECT version for this phone?

Npf26j ota zip

Edit 2: speculation be damned. This seems to be a true release build and not a leaked developer preview like has been hypothesized. Flagged REL for a release build. https://imgur.com/uU0bR2S
THIS IS FOR PIXEL XL ONLY OF COURSE. November 22nd OTA Build NPF26J
Includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. New Modem and Kernel. Kernel updated to include Double Tap To wake and Lift to Wake. May be other features. Don't know.
https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../09c7f402fd047c0d631fdd6c4168c934d3b9451b.zip
Pulled from Reddit thread.
Edit: Apparently you have to be on V build before flashing.

Thank you, I thought I read it somewhere but can't find out where.
I'm not going to update anyway, perfectly happy with the way the phone is running with ElementalX kernel and don't want to mess it up
Will there be an update for the NDE63X build eventually or will we have to roll back to the V build?
I bought my pixel from Google but use on Verizon. My phone is running NDE63X. Should I be on V? Anybody else purchase from Google and run on Verizon that can confirm their build for me?

any phone with a verizon sim will get verizon builds which should be x. You can flash to v if you want to without harm.

Not necessarily. We'll have to wait until Google adds additional information.

Totally up to you. My bootloader is unlocked so I can switch versions without wiping data easily. If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to do this too.

FWIW: both "U" and "V" have the same radio. But we still don't know what markets each update is intended for.
"U" is apparently for Verizon.

FWIW, I just finished flashing the "V" version via fastboot flash-all command with removing the -W flag on my unlocked VZw version and everything booted up just fine with the updated version.
I'm curious as to whether or not anything other than the security update is included

Im on fi I just downloaded the ota and then sideloaded it.
Go to settings - display - advanced and it will be towards the bottom.
Nevermind, misread. It is only for notifications. You can make it turn on when you pick it up though. By turning on "lift to check phone"

I use the modded one for O here. You need to fastboot and load TWRP every time you use it because it is not flashable yet.
