Nexus 6 cannot update to Nougat - Project Fi
I have an unlocked N6/64GB that I purchased new from Amazon last yr, specifically to get on Project Fi.
It is stock, no hacks. Some apps, all from the play store. It came with Lollipop, 5.1.1 and is still on that.
I started getting the Nougat OTA messages but they are not working, tried several times. With and w/o connecting to external power, cleared the cache, etc., the usual basic trial and error stuff...
After a fair bit of reading on the net and tried getting the OTA pkg directly from developer.android.com and that is also not working. Some help will be very much appreciated. TIA!
I have installed Android Studio. Installed the SDK ADB driver on the PC, Win 8.1 and another one Win 7.
Updated the USB drivers as well from Intel.
Enabled developer option on the phone and turned on USB debugging.
When the phone is connected to the PCs, there is no warning and device is browse-able and seen in Device Manager as ADB device.
From the Command Prompt, adb see the phone correctly and can put it into "reboot recovery".
The OTA file has been copied into the AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools dir, same place as the adb
Now it should be a breeze to "adb sideload" the downloaded OTA file (called it shamu.zip) right?
No, once in recovery mode, device it not visible. So some more reading and found that I need to check the properties "adb shell getprop"
That shows "ro.debuggable = 0"
Hence device not visible in adb recovery mode. What to do now?
