5 Things to Know About the Nexus 6 Marshmallow Update
How to Install Android 6.0 Right Now | ||||||
 | ||||||
If you're like me and don't want to wait for Google's slow rollout or OTA update process, you can install it manually, right now, without too much knowledge. While it's best to know what you're doing with the ADB system, and developer tools, the link below is a dead simple how to guide that makes the entire process take less than 10 minutes. Read: How to Install Android 6.0 Marshmallow Right Now Google releases "factory images" which is essentially the stock Android 6.0 software for all devices, as it would be out of the box or factory. This step will erase all user data, apps, contacts, pictures and more (unless you do each part manually and skip the userdata wipe) but it's still pretty easy. Users can just flash the factory image, and have a brand new stock "clean" device. Give the how to guide above a try, but if the process looks to involved, just wait for the OTA update which should be here soon enough. | ||||||

Why does this site not use the Ctrl – mouse wheel scroll to increase/decrease viewing size like nearly every website i have been on? I can barely read this

Why does EVERY tech article start with 5+ paragraphs of back-story? Do these writers assume their readers are ill-informed or just plain stupid? Or—the more likely reason—these writers just want to pad their word count by regurgitating old information that they or their colleagues have already written a hundred different ways (so what’s one more?). This stuff is despicable and makes keeping up with news almost more trouble than it’s worth. This industry has lost its way.

No, the writers are both ill-informed and stupid.

This article is crap. The word “UPDATE” indicates the OTA upgrade. There is no OTA for Marshmallow on the Nexus 6 yet. No one has received Marshmallow on a Nexus 6. The only people who have Marshmallow on Nexus 6 are the ones who have flashed the Factory image.

I got a notice of an upgrade available two nights ago, but after a twenty minute installation, my Build (LMY48T) hadn’t changed and I didn’t notice any other changes.

Same thing on my Nexus 7 a couple days later…received notification that an update was available…went through all the update gymnastics, and the end result was the same build number I had prior to the install. Unless they are releasing some kind of preupdate tweak that precedes the actual Marshmallow release, I have no idea what’s going on…

else: my nexus 6 became very slow to open pages, videos and everything. I wrote to Google complaining, blaming them about this problem (?!) but there was no answer. and not even know if it was because of fake update. I can only wait ..

For the Nexus 6, T-Mobile claims that they’re validating the software and aren’t planning to release Marshmallow to their customers for some time……

Finally received my OTA update to Marshmallow from Verizon last night and ran it this morning. Took about 30 minutes start to finish. No issues. New build is MRA58R.
