Can I receive google play system update - Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers

My pixel4 is bootloader unlocked (safetynet cts profile is false), can I receive google play system update?
I haven't received it since May 1.
Security updates are fine as they use factory images.

Latest play update is may 2020.
So there is nothing available yet.

Thanks for telling me the latest version.

Looks like they distributed the July update but I haven't received it yet.
Is it randomly distributed to users?

You can manually update if it doesn't do it automatically

I kept deleting and rebooting the data and before I knew it, it was installed.

Missing OTA updates

There have been 4 OTA updates, not including the Nougat update, since I last received one. The last update I received was in July (baseband version G930AUCU2APG1.) It isn't rooted but it's encrypted. It says everything is up to date when I check for updates on the phone. AT&T tried to push an update last night and they told me they were unable to contact my phone. I tried wiping it and checking for updates but that didn't work either. Is there a way to manually install these updates?

Download the Odin pk1 files and flash with odin. After that you should be able to take the nougat update. I'm not sure if you have to decrypt your phone though or not to Odin

If you have a look around the FF app you will see that they do actually make you aware that under emui4 there are no problems.
However they go on to inform you that you might experience bugs using the app under emui5....such as 'couldn't install', 'unauthorised', 'deleting the zip files...'. Basically the issues you have been experiencing. I manage to update to b360 selecting without wifi via proxy and it was essentially for a different region!?! But, hey it worked.
But like you even though there are newer updates I get the same problems now and the updated have been available for several weeks...
B361 and security patch is 1st MARCH!!
New update from 2018.04.28 :
NEM-L21C432B359
Integrates Google security patches released in May 2018 for improved system security.

Unable to update 6P

Last ota update is from Nov. 2017 Update keeps saying phone is up to date. Google is no help. They have told me that they don't know why my phone won't update. I am on Google fi. Been told by others that I just need to sideload the latest update and it might kickstart the phone into accepting ota updates. Never done this so am concerned about mucking up my stock phone.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Was the phone in the Beta program? If so, that ended for the 6P as it isn't part of Android P beta and you won't get any further updates, even by coming out of the beta program.
Sideloading the OTA should fix it and you can do it without losing any app and personal data.
Link with OTA's and instructions from Google is at https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Nope, no beta program.
Still trying to decide if it is worth the risk for me to try the sideload......

No OTA update since march 2019

Hello,
since march 2019 update, my phone Nokia 5 TA-1053, cannot "see" any further updates. It's June by now, and I was unable to update my phone by OTA with april and may 2019 updates.
What have I done, and didn't work:
1) clear cache partition from recovery mode
2) clear cache and data for Carrier Services app
3) clear cache and data for update service
4) trying all above without SIM card(s) inside the phone
Nothing is working. I'have bought this phone in November 2017 (in shop, without branding of any sort), and had no problems with system to this day. What can I do to update my phone, except wiping all system and data? @edit:
1) never rooted
2) never installed custom firmware
3) only official updates

My phone says that there is no new updates, and my system is up to date.
Fix for missing OTAs
1. Backup any photos etc you want to keep
2. Switch off phone.
3. Remove SIM.
4. Switch phone back on.
5. Factory restore/erase (without SIM).
6. When phone restarts, set location as India, connect to wifi (do not insert SIM yet), download all updates, OTAs should appear
7. Once all OTAs installed, reinsert SIM
This worked for me.
I have been seeing a similar issue of delayed OTA update availability. In my case it seems to help to reboot the device, then it sometimes finds the new update.

December 2020 Security Update now available

I would say the same. Can't expect anything better than this from these system updates.
until when mi a2 will receive updates? will this be the last?
Mi A1 was released with August 2017 security patch and received its last update on August 2020, something similar should happen for Mi A2 too.

thanks for the info! Mi A2 security patches until Aug 2021 (Mi A2 release August 2018)
Since that update my battery drains way faster.

I'm still in the September update.
Has anyone with the bootloader unlocked updated their phone? If yes, what were your steps to update it?
ota should work with an unlocked bl, IF you have not changed the system. unlocking means you could change it, it doesnt in itself deny ota updates

I´m also waiting for anyone that reported that made the update. I have Setember Update with bootloader unlocked because of camera2api, i don´t made any system changes, and i get all the updates until september without problemes. After that i get Bootloop on October and don´t update anymore. If anyone upgrade from setember with sucess please report.

you answered your own question. if you've unlocked AND made ANY changes to the system ota can bootloop ofcourse.
With unlocked bootloader factory reset is needed once and only once when updating from any version < 11.0.15.0 (October patch) to any version >=11.0.15.0 regardless of update method (OTA or fastboot reflashing). I suspect that Xiaomy made breaking changes to /vendor and/or other system partitions in 11.0.15.0.
So if you want to fastboot flash 11.0.19.0 over 11.0.14.0 or 11.0.5.0 you will need to make factory reset or just flash with "flash_all.bat/sh".
I've seen reports here that factory reset was also required on fully stock phones when receiving 11.0.15.0 October OTA, and I am really sorry for those users, as they had no chance to update with full recovery of user data.
Those having unlocked bootloader can make full recovery of user data after reset using TWRP backup of /data partition, guide is here:

I believe neither Xiaomi nor Google can answer this question.
Anyway,
1) right now factory reset for unlocked MiA2 is needed only once when updating from any previous ROM version to any currently available ROM version >= 11.0.15.0;
2) having unlocked phone one is sure that his data can be restored in any future mishap;
3) unfortunately unlocked phone prevents usage of most of banking apps unless Magisk + Riru + edXposed installed with MagishHide On and GooglePlayServices in Blocked List (SafetyNet issue).
So everyone decides himself whether to
a) keep phone untampered (with risk of loosing data with next OTA bootloop),
b) or unblock phone and then stay with updating stock (spending some time to get root, make SafetyNet passable, remove annoying settings suggestions, customize UI, etc.) ,
c) or unblock phone and then revert to Android 9 10.0.17.0 (disabling updates),
d) or unblock phone and then escape to a Custom ROM.
I personally prefer option (b) since my first Android gadgets (never bought a phone/tablet which had problems with rooting).
