New Verizon Update NMF26U

Looks like there is a new update coming.
https://9to5google.com/2016/12/05/android-7-1-1-update-ota-nexus-pixel-december/
Interesting that it is coming to Verizon pixels but no factory images from Google yet. Curious to see if both models will always have the same updates or if sometimes Verizon models will have specific ones.

This is just the january patch due to be released on the 2nd of Jan

For the official NMF26U update, the Verizon article can be found here https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/google-pixel-update/
Nothing listed here https://developers.google.com/android/ota to this point.
Would be curious if anyone took the update?

Dont think it was released. Usually security patches are released first monday of every month. Not sure why there is a delay

I'm guessing because of the New Year's Holiday the push was delayed. I would suspected it would have come out today. So if it's not out yet, then I'm maybe next Monday. That's if they stick with their current deployment scheme.

Two versions just posted, NMF26U and NMF26V.

Haha that was fast :laugh:

I'm on NMF26O. Nothing shows when I click check for updates on my phone. It's Verizon phone with root running on TMobile. Should I go ahead and sideload NMF26V?

and "NMF26V" is international?

thats the question, how can i identfy which one is my OTA file from Europe, version NMF26O

Not sure which version to use. Google phone on Verizon.

Probably U.
In the past on the Nexus devices the earlier letter is the general release and the latter was for some specific carrier. My bet is the V version is a continuation of the Q fork from last month for some overseas carriers.
Edit. Over in the XL forum VZ customers and Vodephone are getting U OTA.

Just a heads up, I don't know if I did something wrong but I sideloaded the V update and now lost root. Let the phone boot after updating, fastbooted TWRP, deleated fstab, flashed SR5 and nothing but bootloops. I can reflash the V OTA and get my phone back but can't get root. At least not with SR5. Going to try flashing the U factory image (if it will let me) and see if that fixes it.
Edit:
Reflashed the V OTA, booted TWRP, flashed SR4, deleted fstab, flashed SR4 again, and phone boots fine with root.

I got the OTA U on a Verizon phone activated on Project Fi. I'm thinking unless specifically you know to use V then the U update is the way to go if you want to sideload.

Google updated the image site, V is for Europe/O2 and U is for everyone else.

I tweeted at them, said we needed to know. Baring a denial from Google I am going to take credit for that change. First time I ever saw them do that!

Well since you have their ear, perhaps you can tweet them to update the OTA images with descriptions. Only the full images have that. Not that it's hard to deduce but since some people sideload the ota rather than wait it might be nice.

I used 2.79 SR2 and didn't have any problems.

EE simlocked uk versions got nmf26u, i'd think if you have nmf26o then you have the current version for your carrier, which carrier is 'o'

is there a way right now to get the bootloader unlocked on a verizon pixel xl...... 7.1.1?

Any way to root the T-Mobile model on 10i firmware?

I didn't update through OTA, was done through Uppercut. Still have the NRD90M Build number, not sure if that matters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched the forums but maybe im not looking in the right places?

Whats the security patch date.

It would still be 90M if you had taken the OTA. LG releases incremental updates within builds for security patches and bug fixes which change the software versions i.e. from 10d to 10i. Currently, there is no way to root 10i. Interestingly enough, 10i is roll-back friendly, so if a TOT or KDZ (think of them as Google Factory Images to flash) existed of 10d (and an official one, the only kind you can flash properly to rollback, doesn't!) you could flash it and be able to root.

90M wouldn't matter in this case. If its security patch Dec. 1 it would most likely still work. Sprint came out with ZV5 and its Dec.1 dirtycow still works. Meaning Recowvery would work. The dirtycow patch is Dec. 5
The question is. Has anyone actually TRIED?

The update was put out specifically to patch the dirty cow exploit. It was released on the 21st, and while I haven't personally tried recowvery on I myself, I'm sure it won't work.

Are you on 10i? If so just give it a shot. worst case scenario nothing happens and you waste 5 minutes. best case you get root. We on sprint thought the same thing. Our ZV5(Dec.1 patch) update wasn't released until like the 15th.

You're right, it still works. I'm not really sure why everyone was reporting that it patches the exploit, but in any case, recowvery still works on 10i. Here's hoping an official TOT or KDZ comes out for rollback purposes when it eventually does get patched!

Yea... It was the same case on our update. We all thought it patched it and no one was doing it. One random person said he tried and it worked.
Congrats on your reroot!

whaa? anyone else able to confirm recowvery on 10i works?

How did you guys get the update? I'm still on 10D and my system says I'm up to date.

Same here. "up to date". For the first time I actually want to try an update and I can't get it. lol

I did it via the 10i KDZ file and using LGUP and Uppercut. I had no choice i bricked my phone and lost twrp in the process. It was the only way to restore it.

I updated to 10i with LG Bridge and I grabbed the required .dll for LGUP, and I ran dirty cow again (you must use manual method), put SuperSU into the memory card.
I successfully entered TWRP and rooted 10i.

looks like a new VZW OTA is out

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

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.

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.

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.

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

UPDATES

Can anyone tell me what the most current build of Android is for the Moto g5 plus ? Currently it's showing build 7.0 January security patch NPN25 137-33
I'm used to just FastBoot and Nexus/Pixle devices so Motorola is a change for me , does Moto have an image site or somewhere I can download factory Images from ?

Sadly no. You have to wait to get the OTA directly, or for someone to capture a compatible one and post it here. I'm retgb and have exactly the same version as you currently with a January security patch.

Yeah sorry I just meant there is no official firmware listing so you're reliant on people posting links here. Also there's a bit of a minefield for us as there isn't one standard device/software channel across the whole world like there is with Nexus devices. I really miss those days, but the Pixel was just too rich for me.

That has been my big question, I'm on retus and with several different versions being posted, will I ruin my modem or make some parts incompatible if I sideload? I am not rooted yet but I'm frustrated being on the same(??) version you are.

LG V20 T Mobile Mobile Data Not Working after Update

Hi Please help me, i upgraded my OS to Oreo, and after that, i can recieve calls and messages but when im turning on my mobile data, it doesnt work. My APN is correct, any help
Thanks

And when did T-Mobile release Oreo for the H918?
From their support site:
Software version: Android 8.0 Oreo
Phase: Manufacturer Development
T-Mobile and the device manufacturer have agreed to support a new software update. The manufacturer is working on it.

If you have a rooted phone, and you installed boot and system from one of the models that currently does have Oreo, no -- your modem isn't going to work with their rild.

Maybe he means lineage?? The lineage build is Oreo right?

Could be, but that would make diagnosing the problem much easier if he would have said Lineage
If that is the case, I hope the OP made a backup of their EFS....

Hi Brian...
I got my H918, Used your FWUL and LAFsploit.... (I think you are like a V20 rockstar...? thank gosh there's guys like you and websites like XDA to find you with!)
Got superV20 V2.1 on, I installed with
the option or the MK2000 kernel, although, I'm listed as kernel version 3.18.31. My softwaRe is 10t security patcheck level, March 1st, 2018.
In the last 2 days TMOBILE has been trying to push an Android System Update, of around 119.8 Mb to my phone.
(I don't know that it matters or is even noteworthy, but my provider is Virgin Mobile Canada, In B.C..)
It's asking for restart before installing, and I just keep closing it.
Could this be Oreo?
