Nexus 6 / Moto X Pro (XT1115, China) Stock Firmware Download

The Nexus 6 (filename codename tag: shamu) is Google and Motorola's 2014 flagship, built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 platform with a 5.96-inch Quad HD AMOLED display and a 3220mAh battery. In China, this exact shamu hardware was sold under a different retail name — Moto X Pro — rather than as "Nexus 6," and model number XT1115 is that China-market variant, tagged RETCN and CID11 in every file below. It launched and remains on Android 5.0.2 in this archive; the globally-known Nexus 6 (different model numbers) received later Android updates through Android 7.1.1, but those updates are not represented in this China-specific file list.

Stock firmware for this device is typically needed to resolve a bootloop, reverse a failed OTA update, remove a custom ROM or root, or restore original carrier software on a subsidized unit.

Flashing Overview for Motorola Nexus 6 / Moto X Pro 2014 (XT1115 shamu, China)

  1. Confirm your XT1115 model number and CID11/RETCN tag
  2. Back up your data — mfastboot flashing wipes userdata
  3. Download the build above — rows 1 and 2 are likely the same build, pick either one
  4. Flash with Motorola's mfastboot binary, not stock Android SDK fastboot
  5. Verify Android version and network/SIM behavior after flashing
Expand preparation checklist for Motorola Nexus 6 / Moto X Pro 2014 (XT1115 shamu, China)
  • Confirm the XT1115 model number and CID11/RETCN tag from the device label, Settings > About phone, or the fastboot screen.
  • Back up any accessible user data; mfastboot flashing wipes userdata.
  • Install the Motorola USB drivers and the Motorola mfastboot binary (not stock Android SDK fastboot) before attempting a manual flash.
  • Use a reliable USB cable and a charged battery — this device has a non-removable battery, so a mid-flash power loss carries more risk than on removable-battery devices.

Compatibility & Bootloader Notes

Reflashing stock firmware restores the system, boot, and radio images only; it does not change the bootloader lock state. The globally-sold Nexus 6 (XT1100/XT1103 and other carrier variants) is well documented as unlockable with a plain fastboot oem unlock command and no token. Treat that same no-token unlock path as unconfirmed on this specific China-market XT1115/CID11 build — it may instead follow Motorola's token-based motorola.com/unlock process the way carrier-locked Motorola phones do. None of this affects the standard stock CFC.xml/mfastboot reflash covered on this page, which does not require an unlocked bootloader. Standard unmodified fastboot cannot correctly write these images on its own — Motorola's mfastboot binary is required.
