[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.

Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?

I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.

Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?

I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Well, I can, but can you tell me why are you asking?

I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

hi, i have an error with the ota update to 4.4.4 myself, my phone is unlocked and rooted (mostly for xframework, xprivacy and gravity box). now i would like to know if i can use the version you have posted?
do i need to reinstall anything after the update? also i would like to know where that version you posted is coming from (is it clean)?
thanks in advance!

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338
It´s the same on my local copy, on the cloud copy I posted and also look here:

Apparently the update rolls out depending on that 4 numbers, i think it started from something like 3550 and mine is 3593 so i wanted to see if it is close to my number if you get what i mean.

I am from the UK too, i still dont have any sign of update for 4.4.2, i hope i'm not waiting for a update that is going to make the phone worse...

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

In the zip is as radio update, but also something else for the system.
But the patch notes are not saying anything about other Updates.
So I don't know.

flashed and everything works (with blu_spark kernel r128)..

Full rom is up.
For rooted phone, just flashed in twrp. Then flash supersu, and other stuff (e.g. Custom Kernel, xposed, 4k hal mod etc). Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
No data lost

This is not a blog, nor OP forums, nor a sales thread, nor reddit.
They a) didn't promise anything, be glad that you WILL recieve OOS 3, b) offer you to use a custom ROM and root without losing your warranty(!!!) on a high-end low price phone.

They promised that the update will be at the beginning of the year
But, you have right, sorry for typing opinion

They promised only that you will get it in Q2/2016, that is April - June, so they have 2 more full months if they want to...

Npf26j ota zip

Edit 2: speculation be damned. This seems to be a true release build and not a leaked developer preview like has been hypothesized. Flagged REL for a release build. https://imgur.com/uU0bR2S
THIS IS FOR PIXEL XL ONLY OF COURSE. November 22nd OTA Build NPF26J
Includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. New Modem and Kernel. Kernel updated to include Double Tap To wake and Lift to Wake. May be other features. Don't know.
https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../09c7f402fd047c0d631fdd6c4168c934d3b9451b.zip
Pulled from Reddit thread.
Edit: Apparently you have to be on V build before flashing.

I believe the update has to be sideloaded with adb on rooted phones.

Thank you, I thought I read it somewhere but can't find out where.
I'm not going to update anyway, perfectly happy with the way the phone is running with ElementalX kernel and don't want to mess it up

Will there be an update for the NDE63X build eventually or will we have to roll back to the V build?

I bought my pixel from Google but use on Verizon. My phone is running NDE63X. Should I be on V? Anybody else purchase from Google and run on Verizon that can confirm their build for me?

any phone with a verizon sim will get verizon builds which should be x. You can flash to v if you want to without harm.

Not necessarily. We'll have to wait until Google adds additional information.

Per Verizon, They're pushing out U (https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/google-pixel-xl-update/)

Totally up to you. My bootloader is unlocked so I can switch versions without wiping data easily. If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to do this too.

FWIW: both "U" and "V" have the same radio. But we still don't know what markets each update is intended for.

"U" is apparently for Verizon.

FWIW, I just finished flashing the "V" version via fastboot flash-all command with removing the -W flag on my unlocked VZw version and everything booted up just fine with the updated version.

I'm curious as to whether or not anything other than the security update is included
