Long story short, my Nexus 6P will not update to 7.0. I just got the OTA update notification today but when I downloaded it and waited forever for it to optimize my apps, my phone boots into 6.0.1. I tried getting 7.0 from the android developer program about a month ago and I was able to download it then too, but again, the phone just goes back to 6.0.1 for some reason. I decided to just wait until I get the OTA but the problem has still persisted. Any ideas on why its stuck on 6.0.1? Any way to fix this?
Also, I bought this phone about 1 and a half months ago used from eBay. It has been working perfectly fine. Just wanted to put that info out there.
It's possible you bought the phone rooted and/or with a custom ROM or recovery? If you aren't completely stock, an OTA update will fail. This isn't necessarily a single 'right' answer question, but you should probably flash the factory image for a completely fresh install. Grab the factory image at https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-nrd90u-factory-7c9b6a2b.zip and follow the guide, section 14 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928 and you should be able to update.
I just got the 7.0 OTA myself completely stock and when it rebooted it's still on 6.0.
Nobody else is having this problem?
I think you've both misread the update info. I received MTC20L update yesterday, which said that it contains September security patches and also prepares the device for Android 7.0.
The update never claimed that your device will update to Android 7.0. But don't worry, we'll get it soon, at least I hope so!
MTC20L is the Aug security update and the factory image has been posted for 1.5 months, so odd that you're getting it now. Most people would have been receiving N OTA updates. The only way for us to guess what is going on with the OP is if he edits it to include the build number.
I also just got MTC20L yesterday.6.0.1. No idea why no 7.0. Waiting sucks..........It's been a month since "rollout".
It's true I didn't read what the update was yesterday, but I'm 95% sure it had something with "7.0" on there. How do I know what I installed yesterday? I'm on 6.0.1, with the Sept 6 security patch, and MTC20L.
MTC20F was the August update, MTC20L is September one, released 6.9.
I took the developer preview (mistake as it was a hassle that I had to fix) but remember guys, Android N updates in the background, so while it reboots to update, it doesn't take forever with the whole "android is upgrading" screen. I got the NRD90T OTA yesterday (wierd because the NRD90U is on the webpage) and later in the day I gave it a reboot just the set it straight again. I forget the actual wording but there is a secondary partition for updates so they do it in the background, and then revert back after a reboot.

Hi all,
I was running my stock 5.1.1 (LPD23.118-6.1) rom rooted for a long time and wasn't able to receive OTA updates due to the obvious reason about rooting and etc. My recovery wasn't changed. So, I saw the thread about that "flashable zips" about 6.0 roms and decided to test it. Due to some crashes and forced closes, I decided to back to my previous backup of rooted 5.1.1 stock rom. But now I want to have my phone stock as hell, and the first thing that I do was flash the most updated firmware that I found in here that was available to download. I flashed the whole LPD23.118-6.3 stock rom, a little bit newer than my old stock rooted rom. Everything working, everything fine, except...
In bootloader it says "Software status: modified", and when I try to manually check about updates, it says that my software is up to date, which I know isn't true, because OTA update of Android 6.0 is already available (i have a friend who got an X Play and he already received the ota).
How can I solve this?

The force closes you got are completely normal and if you read the thread you will have found out you just need to reboot your phone until they go away.
The status modified just means your bootloader was unlocked and doesn't matter.
You have a few options, keep trying for OTA, flash another version and keep trying for OTA, sideload one of the available OTA zip files, or try a TWRP backup.

Thanks for your reply. Actually i'm downloading the recently posted 6.0 firmware for the Brazilian/Latin American rom in firmware's thread. Unfortunately the download is very slow, but I guess I can surely update without losing anything. The only strange thing is that I didn't received any OTAs....

It's not necessary that if your friend has received the OTA then even you will receive it within few days. The OTA is rolled batch wise and no one knows which phone is in which batch except Moto of course. [emoji4]

Hi I have an unrooted 6p I have never messed with the software but I am on the dp program I usually get the updates within hours of it being announced. But for some reason I have not gotten the 7.1.1 stable with December security patch which is odd but anyway I tried side loading the OTA and it gets to 40% and then says installation aborted. I have the and setup right and all that I can reboot into bootloader does anyone know why it would be doing this? When I was at work today I thought maybe if I disable the allow seamless update option in developer options maybe that will allow it. Any thoughts?
Ok I feel like an idiot. I tried again when I got home from work and it seems that the file I am trying to flash is from November 1 which I already have installed. It is the last one one the Google OTA page. So is it not out yet for the 6p? I'm confused can anyone help me out please
I believe you'll need to unenroll from the beta program first before attempting to sideload the OTA image. The latest OTA image is NMF26F, which includes the December security patch. And make sure you boot into recovery, and not the bootloader to install the update using adb.

Ok if I unenrolled from the dp program I should just get the OTA then I won't have to side load is what I'm guessing. It seems that Google had the stable build done before they released the last dp because the file says November 1 build and I got mine on November 5 that is why it won't allow it.
Nexus 6p update 7.1.1 verificaton failed??? New to droid and not a developer I bought from pawn shop this summer. Showed software up to date and sim worked calls/data on cricket network. Phone running dirty unicorns? ROM? SuperSU? No clue DU? Read about Nexus/google sending monthly security patches/updates but nothing here since may,1 patch phone showed being done week before i bought the phone? Finally like 12/6?7? received a system update "7.1.1" day after they began rolling out to 6p's from what I think I maybe understand:/? So clicked on update which " fixes crucial bugs and improves stability and performance for your nexus 6p." 1270.1mb file "OK" starts the "downloading" showing as status bar slowly showing progress moving left to right. Half hour later+/- download completes "Verification failed" ??? Nothing updated goes back to update screen loops thru the process downloading 30+/- minutes or so then same " verification failed" Need help securing phone/personal data etc making it my own praying my privates life still private (besides google) and that I'm not owned!?! Hoped update would return me to factory settings along with my peace of mind but without verification maybe unicorns have a point:/
Suggest you follow this link... http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ The safest way to fix your issue. Seams you have custom rom in the phone, and you are trying to update with a factory rom. This website will help you get the phone back to a factory stock rom and from then on you will be able to get OTA updates without issues.
There have been 4 OTA updates, not including the Nougat update, since I last received one. The last update I received was in July (baseband version G930AUCU2APG1.) It isn't rooted but it's encrypted. It says everything is up to date when I check for updates on the phone. AT&T tried to push an update last night and they told me they were unable to contact my phone. I tried wiping it and checking for updates but that didn't work either. Is there a way to manually install these updates?

Download the Odin pk1 files and flash with odin. After that you should be able to take the nougat update. I'm not sure if you have to decrypt your phone though or not to Odin
Hi Guys,
I did not receive OTA for Oreo on my Android One and had to reset my phone to get the OTA update. After that once I installed Nougat Fastboot Rom and it was on August 2017 patch and wasnt receiving OTA again so I flashed Oreo Fastboot Current Rom and later locked the bootloader through fastboot oem lock command. I thought it was only me who is not getting the latest January Patch. Following are my questions:
1. Are we going to get Oreo 8.1 or any patch for january? I am not a beta tester.
2. How do I know if my phone is still receiving OTA?
Bugs encountered, please let me know if any one has the similar bugs.
1. Sudden crash of google chrome, android web view or some other apps like ventura wealth etc.
2. Camera doesnt start sometimes.
3. Battery Drain.
4. Phone rings but there is no caller id when phone is locked.
5. Multiple Contacts for various apps can be seen in native contact apps which makes it difficult to select the required contact.
6. No Fingerprint Gesture control.
7. Mi Remote not able to put shortcuts on desktop and no option to grant permission too.
8. No Flash Notification.
Please let me know something useful.
I have got Nougat Rom of December patch. Is it wise to use that?
So I just flashed Nougat December patch official fast boot rom.
I am not being shown any ota for oreo or for any thing.
Is this normal.

Yeah, I did a fastboot flash last night. Just got the update. Just wait.
The update rolls out in batches so you just have to wait your turn

What you mean is that as soon as I put official fastboot rom, I wont immediately get the OTA. I will have to wait. For eg. I am trying with August Patched Official Tissot rom now.

Stay with the December update since you'll only get OTA if you're on December update.
Just be patient. It may take a day or two or even a week but you'll get it.
Installing a fastboot ROM helps improve your chances but doesn't guarantee anything
