Google Nexus 6 (motorola-shamu)
| This device has been archived. This means that it no longer appears in pmbootstrap and is likely broken. It can still be selected in pmbootstrap init by typing in the vendor and codename, but you will have to build the kernel package manually. |

How to enter flash mode
With the device powered off, hold while booting.
Additional info
A serial console is accessible via the headphone port, see Serial debugging:Cable schematics#Nexus debug cable.
The screen brightness can be adjusted by writing a value from 0 to 255 to /sys/devices/fd900000.qcom,mdss_mdp/qcom,mdss_fb_primary.164/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness.
LEDs
The green charging LED can be set by writing a value from 0 to 40 to /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-10/leds/charging/brightness.
General purpose LEDs can be set by writing a value from 0 to 20 to the devices below, although there is no observable difference in brightness from 1 to 20.
- Red:
/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-11/leds/red/brightness - Green:
/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-12/leds/green/brightness - Blue:
/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-13/leds/blue/brightness
Hardware / sensors detail
For reference, sensor information from sensorsandbox (f-droid) on xt1103; note that in addition to hardware-based sensors, it presumably includes software-based / derived sensors:
