MDB08L & MDB08M 6P images

Has anyone flashed either, and if so, what did it break/fix?
I JUST saw these posted today.

Where is the one with the K at the end? I think maybe the decryption process is different per image as each image has their own stock kernel (boot.img) with decryption.

it's just above those with l and m

But why two updates in one day? I'd assume M is the one we should flash?

According to this article-yes: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...-makes-factory-images-available-for-download/

I'm receiving my 6P Thursday, but all the guides I see for unlocking and decrypting are for 08K. After I get my 6P to 08K unlocked and decrypted, can I still take these updates?

MDB08L Root Tutorial?
How can I root my nexus 6p with the build number, MDB08L? I just got the November update. I have been trying to root ever since I got this phone but I can't find a solid tutorial, because of my build number changing. Does any one have a good link?

I manually flashed M update last night before rooting it and I had to decrypt the rom so that root could work. All fine now.

I used this to unlock, root and install TWRP. I had the same build as you.
SKIPSOFT TOOLKIT

I guess I bit off more then I can chew... I'm really new to rooting and I really want to get in to it. But all I only ever rooted my old nexus 5 and that was extremely simple lol. This new nexus 6p to me feels like you need experience and I don't want to brick my phone. The different build numbers hesitate me. Videos make it a lot simpler for me so I can follow step by step and see what is supposed to happen.

Make sure you flash Chainfires boot.bin and install SuperSU zip in TWRP. Dont say yes if you exit TWRP and it asks you to install root.

Question: What is the big difference between L and M? BTW, my N6P automatically updated to L. So I'm not sure if what Android Police says is right or not.

Not sure what the difference is (most likely the monthly security updates but thats pure assumption) but i was able to unlock and root on build M with the same instructions as the K build

They're both November updates. That's the thing. So I'm curious to wondering what is the big difference between the two.

Wish I could tell you. I don't see any changes personally

I think I saw a changelog somewhere where it looked like maybe a new wlan driver and a security update

That was the question/concern I have as well. I just got my 6P two days ago and the November security update was pushed to my device. However it shows I'm on the L build and not the M build. How long does it take for an OTA to be pushed to your device? I would assume if M is newer than my phone should get it? It's just weird that I have the most up to date security patch but not the most up to date factory image and IDK why that is. Thanks.

Not every update is for every phone region. If we haven't gotten an 08M OTA there's a reason.

Saying then if on L build won't get the M? If that's the case if on L shouldn't consider flashing M images?

How long to get OTA (T-Mobile)?

My 6p shipped with build MDA89D. I know that build L is out and expected the OTA but software update says I have the latest update. Flashing the factory image wipes all data and I just got this set up, so I'd rather not do that. How long does it usually take to get the OTA or is there a link I can sideload directly from?

I'm on TMO and the build that I got updated to was MDB08K. What is this L build you speak of?

The latest build is ' MDB08L '. I received the OTA 2 days ago and I'm on TMO.
@OP: OTA roll out in batches. It takes time.

You can't expect perfection from a Google roll-out ) The point is, these are release builds, but the site still hasn't been fully updated.

Successfully flashed the update and kept my apps and data by removing the -w from flashall.bat

Just got OTA for beta
EDIT: Leaving the below link, but it's confirmed as garbage. Looks like Google sent out a bad OTA and they're retracting it now. :|
From OPP4:

Note: While my device got the OTA update notification, it's refusing to actually update to that build, complaining about a manifest mismatch - so YMMV on this link.

did you flash the system image and do that, and over what version did you flash?
I'm looking to do this from 7.1.2, but wasnt sure if it would work, or how to do it properly. Any help in how you do it would be appreciated!

And here and here

I just got my Pixel 2 XL from Verizon this weekend.
How long does Verizon delay the updates to their models?

Wow, would have guessed it would drop late this month since dp2 was just released a little over a week ago.
Anyone up north receive the update yet?

Usually no delay. On the original Pixel XL, they actually received it before others at times.

usually there is a small OTA that brings the beta users up to the final release.

downloaded, and sideloaded just fine..

Yes, but do it after installing the final 8.1.

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I have to ask so I don't mess up my phone. I can sideload the OTA while on beta, right?

I just tried and it aborted, said the OTA was older than what was installed already.

Was on DP2 and manually flashed the official 8.1 in fastboot. Upon bootup I was prompted with an OTA update for DP2.

Can anyone post the full image for DP1? Looks like google removed access to the download.

May Security patch?

Seems very quiet?!?

Based on release history, they are released anywhere from the 1st to the 7th of each month.

Wondering myself if they are going to wait to release for Google I/O next week.

Monday, May 7th has my bet! :good:

May 5, 2018 is not posted yet. You can download it to sideload on the 4th or 5th from this link: https://developers.google.com/android/ota

May 5th, but don't quote me!

I vote may 8th when Google I/O starts. Also hopefully the second developer preview of Android P

It's always the first Monday of the month. That has not occurred yet.

I'm running stock rooted with magisk. Can I take the OTA and then re-root it again? or I have sideload or is there a different process? thanks

You can unrooted completely, then side load the OTA, or, fastboot the factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file, then just flash twrp and magisk again when finished. I personally don't like going the OTA route, this is my method every month for updating if you want to have a look :good:

Dude, your running stock still? If I flashed the new stock image sans the -w over top of AquariOS, will it boot??

Brother Cyber! How ya been bruh?! Yep, I went back to stock. It should boot, however, you may want to restore your stock backup first :good:

The post three above mine is the correct answer. Clean, easy and zero failures. You will have issues trying to unroot in most cases. Not worth it.

That might be true but in past months there has been official mentions of the monthly update by this point.
I'm hoping for some battery life fixes or, at the very least, not getting any worse.
