Hi,
I bought my 6p a month ago. I received updates till january on the same day i booted the device and then i received the february update but because i had to go out i did not install it then. After i came home, there was no option to update and since then i am stuck on january patch level and it shows 'device up to date' in system update.
Please help! I do not want to do it manually. Is there any way?
If you are not willing to do it manually, there's not a lot more you can do.

If i do it Manually then will the next updates come to me normally? Or will i have to do these updates manually from now on?

If you stay stock after manually sideloading, and stock recovery, you can accept future OTA'S with no problems.

Could you guide me how to do that? Or maybe give me a link for it? I am new to it.

*update*
I got the security patch update automatically working two days of creating this thread. I guess they sent it to me as the April patch update was coming ( i may be wrong).
Well it's that time again VZW put out a new OTA anyone taken this yet what does it fix and is it worth it and I think all of us will be wondering is will it lock your bootloader Its unlocked
Me too, I got an OTA notification today, update size is 823.5 MB, don't know what build it is.
I have VZ Pixel, unlocked, stock rooted NMF260 with VZ service. Is it safe to install updates ? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

I think your safe I doubt Verizon would lock your bootloader. That would wipe your device again
@Shiftydogit, @azn6929 got hold of a screenshot? If yes, pls share.
As you can see OTA notification
My guess is it's probably another patch or possibly a kernel update who knows or bug fix one of the three
Here it is

Might as well just do it lmao
So one of you said you are on nmf260. That is December. So i doubt this is a "new" update, you are just behind. Google only releases on the first Monday of the month. VZ uses the same exact releases. There is no special VZ version.
Update away.

Holy cow, they are two months behind. I had no idea, that is nuts. It is the exact same as the Google December update, FWIW.

That's the crazy part. It is the exact same as what Google released in December. The Pixel's are different...they are only using Googles updates. No changes, no bloat, no nothing.

Then us VZW users may want to start checking Google for updates instead of waiting for VZW OTAs

They are at the link below, posted the first Monday of each month. Dunno how you get them on an unlocked phone, I know it is doable...just dunno how.

EDIT: LOL, I'm an idiot. The instructions are right at the top of the page I linked to.

You'd just download them then sideload the OTA via recovery or you can flash it via fastboot/ADB but if you have TWRP installed fastboot will replace it with stock recovery
OK so with update my phone lost TWRP and root other than that bootloader is still unlocked and everything seems fine
Also build number changed after update OK then
If you are getting a new Verizon OTA, it is late. My Verizon Pixel updated to NOF26V (Feb security patch), weeks ago. NOF26V is the most current image for Verizon Pixels.
I updated. New build is NOF26V. Everything seems to be fine. But root is gone. lol
I look at my system updates, and I see this! I couldn't believe it! Nougat is finally here!
Just checked and received it as well!
Has somebody captured the OTA file?
Can we root the android nougat?
I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

I had every intention to but I was so excited that I forgot before I updated. If no one else does and I can find a stock file to go back to MM, I will try.

On Verizon no. And probably never will be able to.
That sucks

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.
My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.

Is it an official ADDISON_VZW or is it a RETUS device?

What is the issue with the Verizon variant for root? I am willing to commit a good tip for a verifyable process to anyone that can do it in a reasonable timeframe. Anyone else willing to donate to the cause?
The bootloader can't be unlocked.

The device is official VZW. I also have the " device has failed verification" warning on start-up. I'm sure that's not helping things either...

Mostly QCSB and the nearly impossible to exploit bootloader.

FYI, I was able to upgrade to Nougat this morning using the VZW software upgrade assistant.

So the N firmware is used by that?
Can you extract it somehow? Mac or PC?

I like stock, too. Hope that we get future updates. Otherwise it would be very bad. And LOS 14.1 is not what I want, but would be working surly.
Really no zip file? That's crazy. The earth has so much people on it and there is no one person who can get this second soak test update and post it here. That's just amazing. Maybe on other planets are people with update zip file? What's with the mars people?
No Mars people yet but I heard over 1k volunteers are available

I hope somebody heard us and trying to capture ota

Motorola should offer the update on her server. Google do this for her pixel phones, too. So what? There is the possibility to update over adb sideload, but no official zip files to update. But, this new update is not include 07/2017 security patch. So, do we really need this? We should wait for the next full update, stable release. That should be save to sideload, right? Full is the best.

Sorry, I prefer customer roms over waiting for the Mfg. to play catch up. I found custom roms will give you more up to date security and more options than the Mfg. will offer.

That's not the latest. Branding software can not be updated to latest 7.1.1, or? Just retail can be flashed to soak test.
Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why one isnt getting certain updates?
The only available update I have is the December 2017 one, but afaik that one is riddled with bugs, and I don't rly feel like risking it. The January never popped up, yet alone february and march one. I've tried all those possible "tricks" with Google Services, from data clean up, signing up for the beta program, factory reset; nothing worked.
I've been told by the support to wait for the batches to arrive; 3 times now.. On the Mi Forums I've been told to sacrifice goats to Chthulu.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Download and flash the fastboot ROM by Mi Flash Tool.

You are probably on nougat. You need to update to the december Version (oreo preparation) and then you can update to march from there.
The OTA updates are incremental updates from a specific firmware version so you have to go through the sequence of all the updates. You can't just jump over several in one go.

Special in a sense of being mentally challenged; self degradation. Don't worry, I'm not being condescending ?
