Android pie 9 ota from google today :) - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Google just updated my software to Pie android version 9. And just when I was about to manually run the OTA. This is a cleaner install. Still playing with the settings and getting used to some of the new features. Just wanted to give a heads up to those of you who were thinking of upgrading and weren't sure about going the manual ADB flash route. :good:
Baseband version: g8998-00253-1805232234
Kernel version : 4.4.116-gcff1ae5
Build number: PPR1.180610.009

Old news. Update was Monday many threads and news articles about it

Welcome back from Mars lol...

I think his point was that Google is slowly pushing the OTA and if you want to wait or don't want to ADB it there is still hope.

Official M3 Android 7.0 Nougat and EMUI 5.0 entering beta yesterday?

Short answer shorter: a leaked EMUI 5.0 schedule from Huawei claims the M3 edition of Android 7.0 (not 7.1) and EMUI 5.0 (with rumored much lower EMUI annoyance quotient (EMUIAQ)) is going into beta, and this may have already been released as of this past Wednesday the 18th. Release version is scheduled to go final in April and public in May. No word on if this is correct, current and not delayed, or even real. If you can read Chinese you may be able to glean a bit more info from the image.
Mate 8 users update to EMUI 5.0 over here.
Bonus cookie points if you know sekrit publik Huawei FTP dumps to check. Post type set to Q&A so any ROMs can get put up top.
You may want to see these two official thread on Chinese Huawei forum:
Here you may see some dates when some stagis of distributing EMUI 5.0 will come

Forme it shows a chinese message which says "Site closed ..."
Do participants have to sign a NDA or why is there zero communication about the beta in forums?

That's actually a good question. I couldn't find any infos either...
I hope open beta comes soon, the 6.0 build is slow as hell.
I saw an update today, changing the build number from B002 to B003, but no other version info or specifics listed. I'll update tonight and see what it is.
Has anyone had success signing up for the Beta program & actually received outreach of any kind?
Also, has anyone from the US gotten signed up?
Thanks.
@iihito702 was able to update to 5.0 in thks thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/help/help-please-emui-5-0-mediapad-m3-t3554620

Wondering when Nougat EM5 comes to this device. Wish there were more hype and development on it. Love the device/hardware, hate the lack of evolution and EMUI 4.

I'm on BTV-DL09-C100-B302 (a very advanced EU test version I guess) and it is very stable.
If you can find an android 6 EMUI 4.1 full stock rom for your region (equivalent to BTV-DL09-C100-B009 for Europe), you can always, while waiting for the official release, update to a very advanced test/unofficial version if you find one for your region also.
BTV-DL09-C100-B302 has been very stable so far and it offers a nice look and feel and experience. I do love EMUI and the v5.0. It's a nice mix between IOS / android.
I don't think the official release will be any different and better than BTV-DL09-C100-B302. Security and bug fixes probably but very fine as it is.
Better battery life so far, wifi, bluetooth and LTE and... fingerprint sensor are perfectly stable. Compared to B006, better cellphone signal strength and it's stable (or my cell provider has improved the coverage in my area which is also possible also).
Like you, I would love to get a full official Nougat EMUI 5.0 rom though.
mid May and NO update?

Thank you!
Is that an upgrade for the BTV-W09, such an EMUI 5 or 5.1?
How do I get the upgrade?
I am on this B302 beta now. Anybody know why fingerprint scanning always request my PIN code every few hours? This is nerveracking...

I unlock my S6 running Nougat with fingerprint and I noticed that on MarshMallow it did not require the PIN as much as it does on Nougat. I would say that Nougat has tighter restrictions regarding fingerprint unlock. I only use the fingerprint to navigate, partly because of this behaviour.

Oreo Update: Is there a way we can flash our Essential Phone to get 8.0?

HI,
I haven't been on here for years. Anyway, is there a way we can flash our phones to the most recent OS?
I've tried researching on here but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance.
The simple answer is no. Even though Android Oreo (8.0) has been officially released by Google it was only for the Pixel and Nexus Phones. Phone like the Essential made by other OEMs won't get the update until that manufacturer makes a officially ROM for their phone using the Android O code from Google. Hopefully since Essential uses the barbones stock Android ROM it won't take long for them to push out an 8.0 update. Another way to get 8.0 early would be to install a custom ROM built from O open source code from Google. And since we don't don't have kernel /source code from Essential yet and for that matter even TWRP custom recovery, it will be a little bit until we see custom Roms. Hopefully though Essential will either push out an update soon or release source code for the stock rom. Until that happens there will be no Android O. Sounds like we'll all just be patiently waiting to find out what happens in time.

EMUI 5: is it worth it?

Hi there,
Thinking for going through the pain again of rooting and flashing a rom since EMUI4 is driving me nuts.
So apparently, no stock Android available to us unfortunately, no Cyanogen, no nothing.
Only some kiddy looking kang kang thing that seems a bit too DIY for me.
My phone is not a toy, it's a work tool. Cant live with EMUI 4.0 any longer (see my other post) and not interested in installing these alternative oesses.
I see EMUI 5 lives out there and is perhaps a light of hope from my perspective.
Meanwhile
The post about downgrade to EMUI 4.0 is gathering more hits than the upgrade thread itself.
Let me know if you have yourself installed successfully EMUI 5.0 through TWRP or else.
Any official OTA of EMUI 5.0 announced by Huawei at all?
Not sure about OTA uodate but u shud definitely try firmware finder for Huawei

Hi,
Is this still based on android 7.0 or is it finally based on some newer version?
Is there a change log about the improvements?
Is there a chance to get update on global version? Or we should forget having global ROM.
Thanks

From side of meizu, android version will not be updated, but flyme 8 will contain all the features of latest android version. Only phones released this year will get android upgrades. So our phone still lives in 7.Yes upgrades to global might be late. It is dead before, but now may be updates might come after 7.3 A stable released. Change to A version if you can.Hope u understand it.
