I was reading here and wondered why they'd get it before anyone else I guess it makes sense now...
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.

Any ideas on when the factory images will be put up?

do we need to be out of beta in order get the final release?

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

downloaded, and sideloaded just fine..
thanks

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.

I unenrolled from beta and after a few minutes the OTA went away

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

We don't even have a soak to say so I really have no idea [emoji1]
With that being said, given the nature of motorola 's soak test, I would think that content would be the same,given that soak test is to confirm that everything works well before public release

Soaktest did start today so who knows. I just installed and waiting for the fun Android is upgrading to finish "optimizing" all my apps but installed just fine.
So far, so good!
I wonder when Verizon will see this. Hopefully soon

Backup your data first!
1 .Revert to stock .11 ROM
2.Apply update from within stock recovery after putting the ota zip in your sdcard or apply the update via issuing 'adb sideload xxx.zip'

Check manually for 7.1.2 OTA

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.

[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.

pretty simple
I just got the 7.1.2 image OTA on my Pixel XL and Project Fi. My wife's Pixel hasn't got it yet.
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:

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

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.

Within the last few minutes, yes. (After the Android P presentation was completed)
I am getting it now myself. Had no idea how quick they'd release it, so suggested playing it safe. Doesn't matter much now, I suppose.
Can we get Ota on rooted/unlocked bootloader? I know we can't install Ota on a rooted phone with custom recovery, but I haven't even gotten monthly security updates ever since I rooted my pixel. I enrolled in the beta as soon as it was announced but will i get an Ota since my phone is rooted?

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.
