Any of the roms with wx_na_wf in the name are for the US WiFi version. I installed ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-incremental_ota-from-20258_426.6902-to-20258_434.7217.zip and it works just fine. I haven't noticed anything different though.

Aohh, ok thanks for the information.

Does this include all the original software that comes pre-installed on the shield tablet.

How do you flash these updates?
Edit: Nvm, Realised you gotta boot into recovery via USB debugging, using the Shield portable drivers. and then "Adb sideload --.zip file"
Side note, If anymore OTA links come up please sure! thanks!

Do you need a custom recovery image to flash the updates with flashify or will it work without one? Also if you do need a recovery image which o e works?

is ther an international wifi only variant?
Doesn't matter. Just noticed that the North america wifi is the same one launched worldwide.
So is the modem and wif the variant with voice call capability? Then this would be the phablet of the year!

I flashed it, and haven't noticed all that much, WIFI signal seems fine for me, it seems little smoother. but that could just be placebo, no crashing and no overheating. been using this for about 3 hours hooked up to my TV playing PSP emulator. And only lost about 15% battery, currently using the Optimize profile for the shield.

has anyone tried the full ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-20808_428.9450.zip
looks like a lot higher build number.
EDIT:
comes up as a much earlier build date, so won't install.

That's odd, a lot higher build number but older? Ill download it and take a deeper look. thanks for sharing!

yeah recovery errored out with can't install an older build over a newer one.
I think the dates were 28 July versus 10th August..
Very odd numbering system - I wonder if @agrabren could throw any light onto the build numbering?

I'm not sure where that list came from.
I didn't know about it till today (but I only got the shield tablet today).

Yeah would be nice to get an address to the site these are coming from to see if anything newer is out. Going to root of the update site just gives permission denied error.

Damn, they must have changed something. I'll download the OTA and attempt to flash it once I get a build number. If it works, I'll add it to the post in my sig.
I'm getting the same error and I am not rooted.
Then I have no clue. And there does not seem to be a 3.1 tablet update in the developer site right now either.

Unfortunately the standard OTA link layout doesn't seem to work for this, or any other OTA for that matter. Damn it NVidia. I'll check this again later on.

Npf26j ota zip

Edit 2: speculation be damned. This seems to be a true release build and not a leaked developer preview like has been hypothesized. Flagged REL for a release build. https://imgur.com/uU0bR2S
THIS IS FOR PIXEL XL ONLY OF COURSE. November 22nd OTA Build NPF26J
Includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. New Modem and Kernel. Kernel updated to include Double Tap To wake and Lift to Wake. May be other features. Don't know.
https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../09c7f402fd047c0d631fdd6c4168c934d3b9451b.zip
Pulled from Reddit thread.
Edit: Apparently you have to be on V build before flashing.

Thank you, I thought I read it somewhere but can't find out where.
I'm not going to update anyway, perfectly happy with the way the phone is running with ElementalX kernel and don't want to mess it up
Will there be an update for the NDE63X build eventually or will we have to roll back to the V build?
I bought my pixel from Google but use on Verizon. My phone is running NDE63X. Should I be on V? Anybody else purchase from Google and run on Verizon that can confirm their build for me?

Yeah, same goes for the AT&T version (v520), no root, no twrp, not even barely any discussions.. Smh, if AT&T didn't give it to me for free i'd probably have just gotten a Nexus lol.. At least you can have fun with those..
I was able to get adoptable storage with the update now with a few adb commands
What version is this Nougat? (letter letter letter number number letter, can also be known as build number, not 7.0 - version of Nougat is obvious enough)
I plan on building AOSP for this, but I would REALLY prefer to match the exact version.
And I can't just run the update on my tablet, it's rooted and unlocked and I don't think I know the procedure to relock it.
Never mind, it said 7.0.0-r1.

Hmm, weird cuz mine keeps saying "your device is up to date" and it was last updated on January 10th.. But I'm still on 6.0.1..
EDIT: Also wanna add, I downloaded LG Bridge via a recommendation from another site that stated that was the only way the new update would be accepted, and that didn't work either.. When i click "Software Update" it says, "Cannot check the software version, Try again.", so I guess I'm s.o.l. for now..
I deactivated from AT&T when I switched to Verizon last month, but I still use it on WiFi and it works fine so I'm not sure why it's not working..

That is really strange. My guess would be is it hasn't been pushed out to every device yet. I happen to have checked for updates on the day AT&T pushed it out. Their website wasn't even updated yet when i got it. I wouldn't think deactivating it would cause it to lose the ability to update but i am kind of new to android so i am not 100% sure. I would just keep checking for updates or maybe contact AT&T and see if they could give you an answer. They do have a section in the Device Support to display information about software updates. I tried attaching a link to it but i can't as i have less than 10 posts. You can search on google AT&T software updates and it should be the top link. You'll then enter your device and scroll down to software updates. They do have a Troubleshoot and Resolve software updates page you could check out
Sweet. My fido v522 just completed its Nougat update. No more sluggish keyboard......for now. Lol

If you're not in the Beta program itself, I'd say there's 98% chance no as the update is tied to your Samsung account. The OP states that he'll upload any future Beta updates, though. Of course, you'll always be able to flash the official Oreo build once it's released (probably without wiping data.)

Probably, since the account and Beta are tied to your IMEI. If not, you can flash back to unlocked and upgrade again. You won't lose your Beta status unless you leave the program.

Assuming this is applied through recovery with ADB sideload right? Or?
I tried flashing it in recovery using "update via SD card" and pointed to the zip file and I got an error with wrong footer.

I'm wndering what would be a proper way of flashing the modem for us that are rooted without losing root? I'm still on the August build.
Thanks.

This is simply a system dump and doesn't contain the bootloader and modem. We'd need the full OTA for those and we can't get them without root. As you've probably noticed, even the gurus at Sammobile haven't posted it yet because it'd be EXTREMELY difficult to catch the OTA even over your own network. I was able to post my Band 46 screenshot because I'm actually in the Beta program.

Wait, is Band 46 enabled on this 7.x.x update, or only on Beta 8.0?

Only beta 8. Running latest 7.x update with Oct security patch and 46 is not enabled.
Apart from wifi-calling and the usual Tmo stuff, is what's the difference between this and the U1 Oreo firmware?

Beat me to it. Folks, this is just a system dump. Unfortunately, without root, I cannot access the Cache partition, which is where the OTA zip file is stored.
I'm posting system dumps to encourage anyone and everyone to dig through. Hopefully we can find an exploit or some tidbit. I never bothered with the sampawn. While I am very grateful for the time, effort, and energy that went into that root, it's not a true root. When Oreo drops we're back to ground zero.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
- Polish: That's partly Google. Partly Samsung. Battery battery life. Things open faster. Etc. And I dirty flashed too.
- Battery Life: Took my phone off charger 16 hours ago and I have 40% left. Screen time 3hr. I heavily rely on my phone every day. Team communication apps, research, navigation, etc. No games. Could be different.
- PiP: Awesome. I had Navigation open earlier today and switched to Music to change songs, a little floating window with my navigation opened. PiP works with Google Maps!
- Band 46: Hasn't been fully initialized in my area, but signals are definitely much more stable.
- WiFi: More stable. I can reach 5G band at further distances. Likely just cleaned up code that's making these work better.
- Small UI changes, such as people edge is more glassy.
Oreo is well worth the patience. I'm only encountering small bugs here and there. It's very stable. So I'd say, maybe Xmas we'll have Oreo. Could be wishful thinking, but I'm hella impressed. This **** is smooth. Only thing I hate is the stupid emojis are the same as before.

You should post it just in case someone knows how to do it.

I would upload it Like I normally do, but know one was able to figurere it out last year for the Galaxsy s7 edge.
 @tengtengvn and I tried to figure it out. You can see the forum here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/direct-link-nougat-update-t3510467
I have been looking into the the S8+ Ota and noticed
Code:
patch/system/bin/tinycap.p.,.ÓõSBDIFF10×.
SBDIFF. If we can figured out how they SBDIFF the OTA against the 7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD firmware. we may be able to flash it.
I also noticed the OTA .bin file has to zip files concatenated together. the first zip only has one file in it called metadata and it is just text.
Code:
ota-type=FILE
post-build=samsung/dream2qltesq/dream2qltesq:8.0.0/OPR1.170623.026/G955USQU1ZQJJ:user/release-keys
post-timestamp=1509361774
pre-build=samsung/dream2qltesq/dream2qltesq:7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD:user/release-keys
pre-device=dream2qltesq
If some people show interest I may upload it.

Download latest firmware zip for your device with correct model number from asus website, and paste that in the internal storage of your phone; as soon as you remove the usb cable after transfer you will get a pop-up for update

Go to 'Service centre' app -> Service Tab -> online chat -> zenfone max pro -> Drivers and firmware
You'll find the link for your model there.
And please use the search button, there already exists a thread on the same topic, why create a new one.
Cheers !

I am not sure why but I think even my device (6GB 601KL) came with v314 when I purchased it (Flipkart for you too, I presume). And I updated to 318-323 without problems. Although I flashed modified stock ROM

so i updated it to 316 manually hoping that it would show popup for latst version it didn't. i tried again with 318. it's still not showing any update for 323. now I don't know whether flashing 323 would resolve it or not. thinking to replace it

Hey i have a weird earphone jack bug on this phone using a KZ ATE earphone. Doesn't happen on another earphone though.
Can you check from your side and report same to me ?
Steps:-
1) Plug in any earphone you have.
2)Open camera and click a picture.
3) view clicked image from camera.
Did you notice the screen is touched , i.e. the effect on screen when a screen is touched,the whole screen area turns a little bit grey to show it's touched.
basically after plug in earphones , the UI seems to behave little different that some option is already pressed inside even though we didn;t touched anything.

323 update has been withdrawn from Asus servers and full ROM has been removed from website, due to some problems with update by Asus. Those who updated are still suffering, while those who didn't, can wait for the Sep update, where these issues will be (hopefully) resolved.

Why Asus pulled the 323 update? And what sufferings are you referring to?
