When I got my phone last month, I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I just got the march OTA and it will not update. It just boots into TWRP and doesnt update. How do I update to the newest patch?

I'd assume that you have to manually flash it with the zip. I'm not sure how it is with a 6p, but with my Oneplus devices that's how it worked.

You can't flash an OTA with TWRP, and you can't take an OTA if you have root/modifications. If you've never rooted or modified in any way you should be able to just flash the stock recovery back and then initiate the OTA process. If you do have root you need to flash the factory images to update. See my guide for details:

This is why it's best to stick to giving advice for devices that you own and are familiar with.

I understand that. However it was just an assumption, i never said it would actually work. I'm still trying to learn this device myself as it is my first and only Nexus.

Ok, but you need to realise that people could still try whatever you're assuming and posting here. If what you're posting is incorrect, it could cause major problems for them. What I'm saying is this: do your learning for this device first, and then advise people one you know the information you're giving is solid.

Alright man...
Some people should never unlock their bootloader or root their phone.

I used Heisenberg's method yesterday and it worked well. If you copy the commands into notepad, edit them so the file paths and build numbers are correct you can just copy/paste into the command prompt. All settings will be saved with the exception of a couple of widgets I had to redo.
I will say with the latest update the device seems faster so I feel like it is worth it.
Recieved my 6P on Tuesday, it updated to 6.0.1 and it's currently build number MMB29P but when I hit "System Update" it says it last checked 2 mins ago and my system is up to date but isn't the latest build MHC19I? Any idea what the issue is?

This seems to happen to done some people, no idea why though. You can update manually pretty easily, just flash the factory images for the latest build. I have instructions in my guide:

Thanks, I haven't used adb since 2014 with my HTC One X so I'm a little hesitant but seems easy enough.
Question if I manually update will that have any interference with future OTA's? As in would I have to manually flash from here on out?

I'd suggest unlocking the bootloader anyway. If an OTA fails on you you'll be soft bricked and there'll be absolutely nothing you can do about it with a locked bootloader, apart from sending it for repair. It's happened to a few people.

It's worth it, I know I'd rather spend the time setting my phone up again than having to send the thing away because it got bricked.
I'm also stuck on January's patch so I wanted to know if I'll get February, then March or does the ota go straight to the latest security patch? If I decide to manually flash it, would I have to flash the February patch first or go straight to they latest one?

If you decide to flash manually, you have two options.
1. Flash the factory images (via fastboot). With this option you can just download the factory images for the latest build and flash them, no need to go through each update to get there.
2. Flash the OTA zips (via stock recovery and adb sideload). This option means you need to flash the OTA zips in order. But since you're on the January build it would only be two zips: the MMP29P --> MMB29Q zip, then the MMB29Q -- > MHC19I zip.
Personally, I'd just flash the factory images with fastboot, it's easier. You do need an unlocked bootloader though, but in my opinion you should have an unlocked bootloader regardless.

Thanks a lot u convinced me. I unlocked and for the hell of it flashed the Android N. Man is so fast , its like running 60fps, I thought its just gonna be little ui changes, but i was wrong. Its like lightning fast. Thanks
Ok it didnt last long. Back to M latest. The N was fast, but toooo many glitches.

Just getting time to sit down and do this, I've gone and got all the SDK tools setup in the general thread you linked, and I know i have to unlock bootloader but for the factory image does it matter if I do post #10 or #11? With the phone being 4 days old would flashing without wiping be a big issue?

Ah, but I think I answered my own question, won't unlocking the bootloader wipe all data anyway?
I applied the wrong ota file by mistake and now the phone is stuck in bootloop.
phone is unlocked and "fastboot flashing unlock" won't work as unlocking was disabled in developer options.
Factory reset didn't work. Further, getting the Google's device corrupted message during the bootloop.
Any solutions?

You can use adb sideload to install one of the new full OTA files with the stock recovery, I have instructions in my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
These full OTA zips don't require a certain preceding build number to be installed prior to installation.

Is it possible to downgrade to an older OTA? I received DP3, got a bootloop. Tried sideloading, wiping, nothing solved.

No, as per the instructions in my guide you can only install a newer build. I wasn't aware that full OTA zips were even available for the Developer Previews.

Have already tried doing this...this also gets interrupted mid-way, with the command terminal showing - "connection reset by peer". these are the same OTA files available on the google developers website.
and for some reason, it worked this time around!!!

I don't know what you can do, sorry. I'm not sure why you wouldn't just unlock your bootloader and leave it unlocked, that alone would mean you could fix this issue in a matter of minutes. I know me saying this is of no use to you right now, but hopefully it'll impress on you (and anyone reading) the importance of having a fail-safe when things go sideways like this.

An update failing is the single most likely cause of a problem like this. The issue here isn't with the update itself, otherwise pretty much every other user taking the update would be experiencing the same thing. There could be any number of reasons for this update going badly for you.
If you had researched you would have known that you need to unlock the bootloader when you first get the device, before you commit too much data to it. Either that or just back up your personal data, unlock the bootloader and then copy your data back. Surely even that is a better option that being stuck in a situation like this where you essentially have a brick.
All you can do now is contact Google support, explain what has happened, and ship it off to them to have it fixed. You shouldn't have to pay if it genuinely wasn't your fault. And remember to unlock your bootloader when you get it back.

I've tried sideloading multiple times and they succeeded however my phone is still not booting :/
I rooted my device today and as expected, OTA updates aren't able to install naturally anymore. Following the advice of several netizens, I installed FlashFire. As instructed, I downloaded the OTA update and then opened FlashFire to install it from there.
But I am getting this error message, "A system update (OTA) has been detected, but the Update Engine binaries could not be extracted from boot/recovery. The update cannot be handled."
There is literally no information that I could dig up to solve this problem. Any ideas?

In A/B partition, the update installs on the other partition so that the one you're using still works and once the process completes you just need to reboot. Which is why you have to boot into the other partition by flashing twrp using fastboot mode and then download the updates. This will install the updates on your current partition which you've rooted and you will have to root again after updating.

You went a little farther than where I am stuck actually. I haven't gotten upto the point where I am given the option to reboot and apply update. I am sure you are aware - there is a two step installation process after the update is downloaded and before that reboot to apply button appears.
The problem is - I am stuck on the Step 1 of 2 part. Halfway through this step, Google Play Services stop working and the progress bar transforms into a fluid bar and this keeps happening over and over. It's a glitch, in short.
And so, that's why I had hoped to skip the hassle of direct OTA installation altogether by using FlashFire and let it do the work of handling the update. But then I get this stupid error.
If you know of a way I could flash the update from inside TWRP or something, by accessing the locally downloaded update files, then I'm all for it. But some people here have gone to the extent of reflashing entire ROMs (worth gigabytes) and then re-rooting the device just for a security patch. This seems like somewhat of an overkill method.
As for going into the other partition and installing from there, when I switch partitions, I see that I have to redownload the entire patch all over again. What's worse is that, my WiFi and Hotspot refuse to start in partition 'b' (weird glitch again), which is why partition 'a' and/or FlashFire is all I have got at the moment.

I was nowhere near you though. The security patch got downloaded but since I've rooted it, flashfire denied to help me out with the update. And so with a little help from this forum itself, I got to know that we'll have to start from the beginning and download both the security patches and install them while on partition 'b'.
This is just stupid as of now than convenient but unfortunately for now that's all we have in our hands. Devs are working hard for an alternate I'm sure, coz this A/B partition thing came from google(pixel) itself.

This is a little confusing though, what you said - isn't FlashFire a root app by nature? So how can it refuse to help you out after asking for the same permissions that it requires to run?
And yeah, I have come to that conclusion myself too. This may sound noobish but I couldn't exactly find the security patch for the October update of Mi A1 anywhere on the internet. Have you or anyone found it or do we have to wait?
And just to clarify - when you say download the security patches, you mean just the security patch itself as a 'zip' file or something like that, right? Not the entire ROM, I hope. As in, if I were to download the security patch file of the October update, it would be approximately a 118 MB file, right?

Umm, yes. I meant I got stuck and flashfire showed the same error you faced, find it attached below.
Also, yes that's what I meant by security patch but if you get into the other partition, which still will be on the August patch, you'll have to download the September patch(1+gb) and then the October one(118mb). If it doesn't work, you'll have to download the rom file from miui.com flash it and then update to October patch.
This A/B partitioning is nowhere near a feature but looks more like an extended road and a U turn to get back to the same place. Only the ones who wont root their phones will be happy.
Facing the same issue as you guys. I can live without the October patch for a while. What do you guys think? Will flashgire be updated to accommodate these updates in the future or will TWRP be the way to go?
when i try to update via settings it says installation error. looks like i will have to be on september patch for now. any other way to update?
Why don't you simply unroot, install the update and then root again ?
I did that way and only cost me a couple of minutes...
Minimum effort to reflash firmware to September, download October and reroot october: 45 mins
Not sure how you were able to do it that fast but I'll stay on September until something easier comes around
me also waiting solution for this problem

Just flashing boot image via flashfire, and wifi doesnt work anymore. Trying to flash with MiFlash and the last rom , getting an error.
How to return to stock rom?
Any help please...!!
ok now.A mistake in process...!!! :fingers-crossed:
Hello. I've been snooping this forum for a while, and so i rooted my Nothing Phone 1. However it was back when 1.1.0 was a thing and didn't update to newer versions (mainly because of it's reviews). However recently i've been hearing positive feedback on 1.1.3 version and so i decided to give it a shot. But how could i do such thing if i'm rooted?
I know i would soft-brick my device if i would let OTA pass and install. This way i would probably need a full OTA rom and flash it manually somehow. Also, if someone know, downgrade guide would be awesome too (in case i will have issues with the new update).

Hello. I've been snooping this forum for a while, and so i rooted my Nothing Phone 1. However it was back when 1.1.0 was a thing and didn't update to newer versions (mainly because of it's reviews).

You will have this tuto if you want to update by Sideload the OTA zip
[GUIDE][HowTo]Pushing an OTA.zip Update with ADB Sideload - Updated 26-07-2022
Can't help you unfortunately, but let me know, after you manage, if your vibration intensity went down at all after the update or if it's all just my brain playing tricks on me.
FWIW, I don't have any issues with the latest version, except maybe lower vibration intensity, though that might just be because I started wearing a case more often.
Also the updates apparently have different features in different regions (for example, EEA had optimized battery ever since I first received the phone with version 1.1.2). They don't document the differences so it's possible other regions are buggy-er
This is how I managed to update a rooted Nothing Phone 1 (EU).
1. Disable all Magisk modules.
2. Restore images in Magisk
3. Install the OTA update through Updater in settings. Do NOT reboot when finished.
4. Install to inactive slot in Magisk
5. When that is finished, reboot. Done!

Add offlineOTAUpgrade from activities tab (like nova launcher), and download the full rom, simply update, and unfortunately it reboots before magisk can install to unused slot, so Fastboot boot rooted boot img and do a full install

There only one command "for update from root" and you can't be more clear in the step lol
So it's normal to don't found "all the commands" because there only one command to enter.
If you search a guide for root the first time, it's exactly the same thing but first your bootloader must be unlocked (all your date will be erased)
What is your problem ? Where are you blocked ?

Hi @Pho3nX (and @Pheggas )
It's the same "my" problem...
I'd like to update me NP1 (rooted), waiting next custom roms that unfortunately are not ready
I'm not so smart with modding and we appreciate some detailed info/guide, step by step, with full commands to write, avoiding dangerous bricks...
I've stored in a folder my first boot.img and the magisk.img but I'm afraid to do some mistake with CMD strings...
Thanks for Your cooperation and... patience...
Ciao

But i shouldn't update with OTA packages when i'm rooted. There's risk of brick and tutorials on any device guides to update via flashing full package.
