[Resolved] Not getting OTA Marshmallow update

[Scotty McDonald]

Hello, Just got an Unlocked Nexus 6 and added it to my Verizon plan. When I first turned it on it updated to 5.1.1 on Tuesday. Will it eventually get the OTA for Marshmallow? Running Stock/Non Rooted on Verizon. Is there a way for me to force it without rooting?

Thanks!

Normally, I'd have said "yes, eventually, you will get the OTA". But if you got 5.1.1 on Tuesday, and have not gotten Marshmallow yet, there may be something wrong. Try the "check for updates" on your phone - it rarely does anything, but worth a try.

What is the build# on your phone? (Settings/about)

Thankfully Google has published full OTA files - you still need ADB to sideload them, but you don't need to unlock the bootloader for that.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota - there is a link to the ADB tool on that page. And you can grab the latest image for the nexus 6 - MOB31E I believe.

Thanks for the reply @jj14x I actually ended up factory resetting the phone and got Marshamallow right away. Plus all the security patches! Thanks for responding!
