Oreo OTA Now you see it, now you don't - Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Very strange. I'm on DP4. About 10 minutes ago I checked for an OTA to the new official 8.0 build and hey presto, up came the Android Oreo update available message. When I hit download and install, I got an error message and now the update is no longer available. Just says I have the latest version. Anyone else experience this?

I joined the beta program today. My version is 8.0.0. Is that beta or final?

I'm having the exact same issue and Google's help don't know ****. She keeps telling me it's not even available even though I can clearly see the update smh

Mine is stuck like this, lol. I have a great WiFi signal and everything. Not sure what's up.

I have this and amazing Internet speeds.

Exact same issue here

Wonder if it's those that are on DP that are effected, anyone confirm they flashed OTA successfully via DP or N?

It has been removed and is supposed to be online again, that says Google. Waiting and relaxing

I'm now on the latest version according to the updates section. Meh, I'll factory install it in the morning.

According to other threads, they had problems with signature of the update packages being incorrect. They stopped otas, and are dropping them again, I believe.

Just a second ago the OTA was available again. Tried to download it and got the same error message as the first time around. Once again it has been replaced by your system is up to date. Some crazy weirdness definitely going on here. I think I'll try again tomorrow.

Ah, that would explain things.

I started a help session, and they said I needed to be unrooted for the OTA to be able to do anything. I'm going to try unrooting, but tbh I'll probably just end up flashing from the factory image.

That would be pretty obvious, you can't get system updates if you're rooted on literally any device.

I knew it wouldn't install, but it usually downloads it so that I can use Flashfire. This time around it seems that it won't even do that.

I have got 2 OTA URLs for build OPR6.170623.011/8.0.0 from my Australian Telstra carrier Pixel XL registered in Beta Program.
One is incremental from DP4, the other I'm not sure but is 951MB.
Will post them up here and update with the exact contents shortly...

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'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

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!

[Q] Anyone on the 7.1.2 BETA BUILD received the final 7.1.2 OTA yet?

As the subject? ?
Wondering the same myself. I have not.
Someone did mention on an Android site that the beta users should see the OTA pushed in the next few days.

Doubt it will wipe. But you could flash the whole image removing the -w from the bat file.

Never used an OTA always flash image simple and no problems, I remember in the past sometimes battery drain etc after installing a OTA

I've been seeing delays in the Verizon rollout with this OTA, not sure why. I have a vzw Pixel however I'm on Project Fi and got the ota almost immediately. I'm not sure if that changes it or not, however.
We also need separate threads or disclaimers for those with locked bootloaders and those unlocked. To say just flash the image instead of sideloading the ota is ludicrous if the bl is locked. That simply can't be done.

Ahh right this thread was intended for people on the beta release ?
I haven't received the OTA yet, I'm on beta 2. I downloaded the update and tried to sideload it, but the installation failed because it says that the beta 2 is a newer build and it won't downgrade. I guess I'll just wait until the OTA from my carrier.
sideloaded the OTA file over Beta 2 tuesday morning and all went fine...have at it! :good:

Nougat Euro version on US M3 BTV-W09

Installed Nougat tonight. Said install failed but it installed and seems to be working fine.
Everything you need right here:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-mediapad-m3-b302-nougat-firmware/
Also, all of my apps and setting stayed intact.
seems you jumped the gun. there's what looks to be an official nougat update within firmware finder (play store app) for nougat now. there's 2 versions, full OTA (2.49GB) and OTA (656MB). version is BTV-W09C128B350

I saw that. Used the function to check compatibility and said no so I moved on.
I tried to install with firmware finder proxy and it went through it all then said failed and left me with old version. Glad it didn't work out so at least I have Bluetooth. Hopefully this means we are getting closer to an official version for the US.

If you are enrolled in beta program but are using non-beta stock, you could try unenrolling from beta. My friend did it and he got an update instantly which otherwise he wouldn't.

There is no harm in checking.
Anyways, google improved ota system quite recently(around 1-2 weeks ago). When you manually check for ota, there is 100% chance that you will get the ota if it exists. It sounds too good to be true, but it is. Check that out.
So if you dont get ota, then something is really wrong.

Definitely unenroll. No reason to be in the beta program now. Even if you are stock with a locked bootloader you can manually sideload a full OTA. There are many tutorials on how to do this.

i'm actually asking for my second N6P which my mom uses, which is why i'm hoping there's a way to fix this without having to sideload since i'd have to do it with her via TeamViewer....
is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to do this or can i just flash the latest factory image or OTA with the bootloader locked via ADB?
Linkk to the beta program is https://www.google.com/android/beta
Getting the OTA's fine. Latest one I have is September 5th, so expecting Octobers any time soon.

I also haven't received an OTA update in quite a while. The latest update I was able to receive OTA is the August patch.
I enrolled and un-enrolled from the beta program with the hope that the Oreo OTA would push but only got 7.1.2.
It's a little unusual. I factory reset also after un-enrolling just to see clean it out, to get rid of any bugs that be preventing the OTA. Didn't work.
I would rather not have to sideload the OTA since I always make mistakes with ADB and command prompt.
I am on Project Fi fyi.

Nexus 6P not getting Oreo?

My friend has a Nexus 6P and hasn't yet gotten Oreo, any idea why? He hasn't done any modifications like root to the device. He is still on the August security patch. He checked for updates many many times. He even called Google and TMobile.

Unless he is willing to manually update, there are only a few options. One would be try enrolling and then un-enrolling in the 8.0 beta program. Others have reported soon after un-enrolling they received an OTA. The other is borrowing a SIM from a different carrier for a few minutes, trying to update the system in settings, and then switching the SIM back. This will sometimes trigger an OTA. Finally, a more drastic measure would be to do a factory reset. Other than that he will just have to wait.

You could try checking if his phone is enrolled in android beta program. If it is, you could try unenrolling from the beta program, and the phone may get further update (only a mild possibility, but it has happened atleast once to a n6p I know).
Alternatively, if you want the update badly, you could download the full ota image and do a ADB sideload via stock recovery. Pretty simple process, works with locked bootloaders.

My wife's Nexus 5X on T-Mobile just got Oreo a few days ago. I'm still waiting (but hopeful) for my Nexus 6P update. Neither of us were rooted or beta.
I was stuck on the August security patch too. I didn't realize it until September and then October rolled around.
I'm also on TMobile. I ended up just ended up manually updating. Worked without issue.
