Unpacked the new Y6. Everything looked good.
Armed the copter and only 3 of the 6 motors fired up. I ran through the steps to re-calibrate the ESC's and the same 3 motors were the only ones that fired up again.
Not sure if i'm leaving something out...?

I have the same issue. did you resolve it? Thanks
G.
Yes, I loaded the incorrect flight code. With the correct flight code (Chris Anderson's reply) the problem was fixed.
g'luck!

Glad to know it's resolved! Thanks for the update.
Are you sure you loaded the Y6 flight code and not the quad or tri?
Recommend you remove all props and perform a RPM ramp up to double check that only 3 motors are in fact the only ones running. I built my Y6 from a kit and noticed that it took a couple ESC calibration tries to get all motors to spin up when I applied power on my radio's throttle. I believe the ESC w/Simon K is the suspect and may need a couple calibrations before everything is tuned well.
Mike and mP1. Thank you for your suggestions. I'm going to give it a go!
Thanks again!
You could also try disconnecting the servo connectors for all motors and adding them back one by one. But before you do this add a little masking tape with the position written on with a marker to each connector before you yank it out. When you power up, the lone motor should beep. If it doesnt then theres prolly a solder prob or lose wire etc.
check the board that all of the ESC 3 pin connectors connect to. Alot of people have had issues with bad soldering jobs and I had 4 of my 6 cables come undone and didn't notice it until my motors didn't spin up and i saw the cable leading from that PC board to the APM had come unsoldered. i can see if i have a pic at home when I get off of work.
