Nexus 6 Marshmallow update ETA?
Hi, I understand the update is being rolled out in stages, but can anyone give an approximate ETA for the AT&T specific build of Android 6;0 Marshmallow? (I have already installed the prerequisite October security update, build LMY48W).
Thanks

Carriers do not provide ETAs for updates. All you will get is rumor.

sure it can be sideloaded.... There is no special rom just for att customers.... Here is the zip files... I have been running marshmallow since it was released on googles site.

This is now a moot point since google is not selling nexus devices on carriers ever again...

We all know that with Android OS updates we must either wait for the extremely slow OTA update to roll out, or we can flash or side load the update with a little work and effort. However, does anybody else find it ironic that in order to manually update we must own or use a "competitors" product such as a PC or Mac?
Google needs to create some "modern" options that would allow us to easily use a Chromebook, tablet, or even to somehow download the update to Google Drive and remotely execute; at least for Nexus devices.
The Android OS update issue grows more problematic year after year. If you don't own a Nexus device you may never receive an update, and even if you do own Nexus devices you often must wait weeks and even months.
It's almost enough to make you want an Apple. Almost, but not quite.

If you unlock your bootloader to flash, it wipes all user data. There is not currently an OTA upgrade build available for ATT devices. OTA builds allow you to upgrade without wiping all user data. Many users do not want to have to wipe all user data in order to upgrade to marshmallow. ATT is the ONLY carrier for which a build that can be sideloaded has not been released. Literally every other carrier, including V******, has allowed an OTA build to be released. ATT is clearly holding up this process. WHY???

None of those builds at the droid-life link posted by GLIMMERMAN76 can be sideloaded by ATT customers. All ATT customers are currently on LMY48W, so if you try to sideload any of the builds at that link, it will NOT WORK.
