Saw on AC that it was rolling out to T-Mo and Sprint users so I checked 2 hours ago and had nothing. I just checked again and it is available. From what I read it shouldn't break root. I'm updating now and will report back.

We probably won't see it for atleast another month the way Verizon is with their updates. Either way I will avoid it, I value root too much.
Update PDF to see changelog and what was updated/improved/ruined. However you want to look at it. Seems like very minor changes from which not many people will benefit.

I'll skip it for now, there is nothing for me in there. I don't use any of the apps other than contacts and that's working fine. I'll wait and see if anyone looses root with it.
I am inclined to agree XTC. I am also not going to be putting the OTA updater .apk back on my device. No way.

Yeaaaaaaaa. So the update is failing on my device haha. I'll take it as a sign. I don't really care for it much anyway.
Sounds about right. They either wait too long, or shoot it off before its ready. hahaha
Anyone know why my update may be failing though? update failure code 402. I have my phone rooted/debloated. I don't think that should make the update fail though.
To resolve, try plugging the Phone up to a PC and install the Verizon Updater software that is on the Phone's flash drive..(it is one of the disks that auto pops up when you connect the phone).

haha nah. I have linux on my vbox. I have other workstations at work with windows 7 on 'em. I can't get it to open. I wonder if it is because we are blocking outbound ports with ACL's and maybe the software needs access to something to launch. I'll try off of a public Wifi as that's wide open. That's the only similarity between the windows7 and 8.1 machines.
EDIT: yup, it requires port 443 to be open (which it is) but it is also passing through our content gateway proxy. I believe it was flagging it as some malicious. Luckily, I know it's not malicious and I am the systems admin so I was able to bypass

LOL. Samsung's/AT&T's never ending ineptitude provides quite a bit of comic relief. I mean...really, how hard is it to push an update? I remember getting OTA updates on my G1 without issue. Has nothing been learned since then?

It had this sentence at the bottom too:
* What are risks for performing the upgrade?
o This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

LOL, FIND ALL "T-Mobile" REPLACE WITH "AT&T" it's that easy.... or one would think....
I checked Kies Mini and nothing. Blah!
Ehh ...
The probability of Samsung/AT&T releasing something better than what you can find here at XDA is extremely low. The devs here at XDA are probably more familiar with the phone than Samsung or AT&T anyway, as they have actually been working with it these past few months.
I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an XDA branded phone by now.

If not, I'll bet he's laughing at all the posting going on about it.
As you probably know, we just got our first full ICS leak, even though it was for the me865. I am not going to comment on how useful it would be for the rest of us other than it will not flash correctly so don't try. All the devs here are pulling it apart to see what can be used.
It is extremely important that everyone is checking cheesecake as much as possible!!!!!
our biggest hope is that we can pull a leak from the US servers with ICS and/or an unlocked bootloader. See the stickied bootloader unlock thread for more info. I am working on an app/ other way to automate the process even more so that it can be checked more often as the updates will only stay available for a short period of time.
Been checking like crazy for the past few hours.
Seems as though most of the "QA" servers are down, as of right now. Or is it me?
Also, I did get a "Your device is up to date." message off of master-qa500.blurdev.com
Maybe that's something to keep our eye on possibly?
EDIT: seems like most of the servers are down. Still checking though.
Yeah if you get the "setup wifi" message the server is down. If you get your device is up to date the server is up but nothing is on it.

If you switch back to the "Production"..."master-blur.svcmot.com" server, that should be back to the regular server that it would otherwise normally check. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Also, Jim mentioned a way to use something like Tasker to help automate this as well. If farshad525hou makes an automated app, that would be awesome. In the meantime, does anyone know how to get Tasker to do that? Perhaps I'll send Jim a PM to see if he could put a little description of how it's done. That way people (myself included) will have less of an excuse to be checking the servers .

Of course you are! Come on.... I am sure some more simple method will be developed but until then you would want to follow the directions closely. Still in Beta as well and everything is not 100% but I can guarantee he got it rooted! It's just whether you can write to certain partitions or not.

If anyone tries this could you report back on how it goes. I'd be willing to buy a S6 today if this materializes into a true way to root the Verizon s6.

What this is going to give you (if it works on your firmware version) is JUST root. So you will be able to do certain things but you CANNOT flash custom roms cause that has to do with the bootloader, and that bad boy is LOCKED tight. I'm not saying it won't happen but probably not. Hopefully someone starts developing Safestrap again (for this device). I left Verizon long ago because of their crap with locking down phones but I still thought you guys would like to know the info i found, seeing as it's a given that every Verizon device will make it next to impossible to achieve root. The root method for the Turbo was a different kind of exploit but I am pretty sure that this method will at least allow you to do some of the basic "must have" rooting tweaks. ie. Ad blocker, totally removing bloat, Hotspot mods, etc. Best thing to do is follow him over at the link I posted. Hope u guys get this all figured out and remember, this is just in beta right now, so if you can't get root that does not mean 100% for sure that this won't work 4 you. Like I said, follow the brilliant guy that made this all possible. :good:

No frustrations I realise that its only in beta phase 1 so its possible with a simple fix it might become more stable. Plus like you said with this exploit you are only gonna be able to do a few limited things until someone comes along and makes something like safestrap. Plus im pretty sure the system will still be write protected. A lot of hurdles to overcome to fully modify this phone. Can you tell me what kernal date youre friend had that was success?

You sure about that? I thought you needed to adb depixel8 and if so, then how can you get the phone recognized in order to issue adb commands without logging in? To wit, usb debugging in developer options. Now I do suppose you can deny the update but I'm not even sure about that. Doesn't it automatically download and install before you can do anything?
I'm guessing the point is moot because the December update will not block depixel8? We'll know tomorrow.

You don't need to log in to boot the phone.

Wow what a crazy thread, thanks for keeping me busy for the last 2 hours reading it. December update is out now and Depixel8 is now patched and does not work any longer. I'm still reading that thread and getting conflicting information as to what will happen upon booting either with or without the sim in. I'll come back if I find out anything definitive. I might head over to IRC and ask directly. (doing that now, let's see if anyone answers freenode #googlepixel)
edit: I do believe you can bypass the setup without a sim or wifi. So back to the OP question, I'm not sure when the vzw version will start shipping with 7.1.1 but if you get it with the older patch and you want to unlock you better be careful and get it done right away.

edit: I do believe you can bypass the setup without a sim or wifi. So back to the OP question, I'm not sure when the vzw version will start shipping with 7.1.1 but if you get it with the older patch and you want to unlock you better be careful and get it done right away.

Yeah, that thread is quite the rabbit hole. But quite a few good nuggets of info dispersed through it.

Yeah, JCase is/was very active for a while. Has degraded into the same questions over and over at this point though. I love when a mod comes in and has to clean the thread. Tells me I missed some fireworks. At this point those that don't have the device (Verizon) are starting to freak a little with the Dec update out now. But really if they are that concerned just buy a Google variety and you can always unlock that. I do realize that some people have upgrades etc. and as for me, I paid $240 on the Black Friday deal so I'm stuck. Well not really, but I'm not unlocking so I really don't care what they do with the bootloader.
I presume someone will start a thread about the update, but I haven't received it yet. I downloaded the full ota image but I'll hold off for a few more hours.

Yeah, I got mine on BF, too. But I did go ahead and unlock the BL, after I confirmed the phone worked as expected. I have not changed the recovery or rooted at this point. Just running stock/unlocked for now. I believe that I should still get the OTA, since I'm not rooted and haven't changed recoveries, but we'll see. No sign of it yet.
Booting to twrp and starting a side load will get adb working. Had to do this just the other day to push a file.

I guess we just pray for the best. The last 2 patches went out on the 7th so just extrapolation. The real problem is if you get an updated one or not.

Yes, and it's serious if you want to unlock. I think we'll just have to wait for a new vzw Pixel user to confirm either way. I got sick of waiting and sideloaded the ota.

tough luck
I can tell you for sure you can skip everything in setup.

How? I'm going to get a replacement pixel tomorrow. I did a few factory resets but I don't remember seeing a way to skip through setup. Right after the activation screen it went to the software update screen. Im gonna factory reset in a little bit but I'm not sure it would help test because I'm already on 7.1.1
Would reallt SUCK if I got a replacement on 7.1 and the setup installed 7.1.1 before I could unlock

For those that purchased via a carrier.. Not sure how many will get hit by this..
"Sorry, your device is from a network operator that is not participating in Nokia phones beta labs."
Edit: Purchased via Vodafone AU.

Yep... It's a JavaScript error. Try a different or older browser. For me, it didn't work with Firefox and Chrome on my desktop, and also failed with Chrome on Android. I finally got it running with Firefox on Android.
Maybe they want to make sure you're a worthy beta tester...

Yep updated.
My first device was RMA for 23 days before I finaly got a new one for the DOA device.
I sitll think the OP3 is a better device in every way.

No experience with OP devices.
Customer service reports and cutting short device support put me off them.

Personaly i don`t agree, i`ve had the the 3/ 3T/ 5 and support is terrible. They can`t get the camera software/ processing up to par and and after only 6 months your device is allready obsolete. Would never buy a OP again. Nokia fills the gap between OEM devices and the Pixels by creating a new affordable Nexus line, imo a golden move for all android purists.
I've got the Beta, and the only issue I have is the 'xxx is running in the background' alerts (which are part of Oreo anyway, and annoying rather than a showstopper), and lock-screen display is not showing the number of e-mails and texts unread.

Agreed hoping the updates keep coming and they are onto a winner as far as I'm concerned.

i read that you can roll back to 7.1.1 from 8 Beta...in this case will the phone be reseted? i wanna give 8 a try bot do not wanna set the device from scratch again.

Roll back is full wipe. Not something I'll be doing anyway. Sticking with oreo
I also updated to Oreo, so far i have found everything snappier.
Just hope they get the ringtone volume back to nougat levels.
camera seems to take slightly sharper images, but no increase in speed taking shots.
All in all this phone is what the pixels should be, all phones should come with a memory card slot.
Updated my TA-1004, ATM it works just fine
