Just a heads up that if you check manually for the system update it might find it right away. 5th month in a row this has worked for me first day first try, running 7.1.2 stock OTA now.
It worked right away
I love you
Has anyone on the beta got it yet? Its annoying that once again they leave us hanging for the official release and security update.

I know really annoying. I tried sideloading the full OTA over 7.12, but it refused, as the beta is a newer build date (but older code).
Anyone know of a way to keep my data, but get back onto stock 7.12?

I dont think there is a way to be honest. Just wait and hope its not as long as it was with the official nougat release.

Use the factory image and flash it with fastboot or if you rooted, flash with flashfire

The sideloading error might be because of the newer ADB tools. Try reverting back to platform tools rev.25.0.3.

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Great news tnx a lot for this info
I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).

I checked mine about 100 times manually then downloaded full ota and flashed it using FlashFire app yesterday.
Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!

It's certainly possible. Just my opinion. I don't know why they'd release a DP2 and only wait a week to release the final, but they could and then they'll likely release 8.1.1 next month.
Even if it comes out today I might wait and see what everyone else is saying about it and any bugs before I upgrade. I don't have time to tinker with my phones as much as I used to. We'll see if I can resist, though, but minimally I'll use Titanium Backup to back up all my user app data and sync to Google Drive, backup things I mean to keep from my internal storage and make sure all my photos/videos are synced, then the final nandroid - then I'll have to make the decision as to whether I flash 8.1 clean or use FlashFire to upgrade.
When the user experience may have changed some in a version of Android, sometimes I like to start fresh, besides minimizing any problems that might be due solely to updating while keeping system data.
I was happily surprised I was able to do everything from FlashFire successfully for the November update including re-flashing the Ex Kernel.

No, unrolling right now from beta will give you update for 8.0 stable
Dont bother sideloading from dp2 either, it will fail.
For now we will have to just wait for the smaller ota which takes us from dp2 to 8.1 stable.

You can flash the full image, after removing the -w from the flash all bat file to save data. Then unenroll. Worked fine here.

I haven't unlocked the BL ever since I got nexii/pixels. Never felt the need to ( except when n6p died and needed a workaround).
It's here for me.
Ota is live Pixel Verizon on beta DP2.

Got it today.
So far so good, but I'd really like to find a way to remove the search bar. It's pretty terribly placed.

Hey guys I recently sideloaded the latest oreo beta version on my s8 and now I am wondering if when the oficial oreo 8.0 comes out I will be able to get it OTA or will I have to use Odin to go back to BQL1 and then do the OTA update? I am obviously not part of the samsung beta program.

Theoretically, we are strongly advised to wipe out everything and start from scratch. However, I would rather do it once Oreo is out.
I couldn't help noticing an error occurred during the installation process, some SYSTEM folder or partition that couldn't be mounted due to ACCESS DENIED. Perhaps this is something related with having the device encrypted?

I have ZRA5, which comes from the leaked build shared a couple of days ago. It has January 2018 security patch and build date is 01/09/2018 22:49:09.
Are you sure you have ZRA6? Perhaps you have different build from a different source. If that is so, where did you get it?
Thanks!

Yes I am positive I have ZRA6 I got it from: https://samsung.firmware.science
I came across this website looking for ways to update to Oreo. I understand that all the firmware versions he has in the website are officially released by Samsung (including the Betas), the only downside is that he does not specify which software is which, you have to know the baseband versions you are installing.

That site only featured the build intended for the Snapdragon variant of the S8, also known as 950U. If you installed that build on your 950F I'm surprised you haven't bricked it.

Thats the thing, my phone is 950U not 950F sorry I did not specify that little detail. Thats why I was able to install throught the sd card with no trouble at all.
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.

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.

Does anyone know how to clear any rootless navbar customizations? Essentially clearing it back to stock, but without factory resetting. I thought I reset it through Custom Navbar but now my Navbar keeps defaulting back to the old 3 buttons (the new gesture navbar won't stay)
Edit: under Settings>System>Gestures you can turn on the gesture-based navigation.
