I was thinking that this is yet another youtube guide thread
but it turned out to be even worse haha
I had to replace my pixel xl through project fi as it bricked over night.
I am apart of the beta program with the bricked phone.
got the replacement and setting it up but it is only updating to 8.0 so I can't restore my old data because of this from android:
Important: You can't restore a backup from a higher Android version onto a phone running a lower Android version.
Should I hurry and enroll this new phone again in the android O beta and try to upload beta 8.1 before this 8.1 final comes to my phone so that i can restore my data/settings/contacts from google drive or will 8.1 final not mess up my restore from beta 8.1?
You might want to post this in the proper section.
Updates are live, installing on Pixel XL, but zero information about the fixes or improvements on Google Bulletin. It says no Pixel security fixes this time included, no information about new features or other fixes too. So only general Android security fixes this time I guess.
Announcements
There are no Pixel security patches in the February 2019 Pixel Update Bulletin.
Functional patches
All Pixel devices running Android 9 will receive an Android 9 update as part of the February OTA. This quarterly release contains many functional updates and improvements to various parts of the Android platform and supported Pixel devices.
Does anyone already received the OTA ?

I manually installed on Monday afternoon. All went well. Flashed factory images (retained data). Booted TWRP to flash Magisk. Only nuance was that new version of Magisk was released at about the same time, so had to play around with that for a bit. Standard monthly upgrade. No surprises. All seems to be running well.
I'm on magisk but I haven't receive the OTA even when pushing the button. With magisk shouldn't I still get the notification (manual or not) ?? I know that installing it with magisk is a whole different thing... I always install full otas manually via twrp, but I would like to install a ota with the magisk method... too much time consuming when doing via twrp
I've got an opportunity to get a new t380 for free. Can anyone tell me if the OS can still be updated from nougat to pie? Also, considering this is a 2017 build, is it even worth the effort?
Thanks for your thoughts,

Hello, Yes, the device has Android Pie One UI, it is also possable to get twrp and get masigk running, though you will most likey want to stick to Android Nougat beacuse in Android Pie, Masigk is not installing. But this can change. Also there is no custom roms for the 2017 Tab A, but this can change. The tablet will most likey not get android 10, but aleast you will get longer support on Android Pie than on Android Nougat.
Hi, I have updated the system to Android 11 when the first version has been released, due to the existing bugs I reverted it to Android 10.
I see Android 11 has got several updates over time, the last one this year in May, do you know if the last released version is stable so that I would switch to Android 11?
Thanks
