Mine updated from N to P when I put my VZ SIM in and booted it up. I set some things up over WiFi first. Who's you service with and have you checked for updates?
i have t mobile and says its up to date. i assumed it was verizon bought the guy didnt know he won it at a work party. depixel8 was able to unlock the bootloader so assuming it was a verizon one

Did you notice any VZ apps in the app drawer? I'm not sure of all the nuances of discerning a Google Pixel from a VZ Pixel, maybe someone else is familiar with the specifics. I wonder if the N build is being rolled out and just hasn't been pushed to your device yet. Yesterday there was a developer who tweeted that there was an OTA, but it was the N build that I've had since this past Sunday. Sometimes it just takes a little more time.
no vzw apps
My phone is on build number NDE63L. I am on Sprint. I have unlocked and rooted the phone. Is there a material difference between these build numbers?

I flashed the P build on Sunday and have had no problems so far. I use my Pixel on T-Mobile as well. Might note I used the factory image, not the OTA.

Kinda tricky to say what the previous owner did. As long as you know what you're doing, I'd say that you're okay to flash P. Just make a backup.
I purchased a Verizon XL from best buy, removed the VZW sim before booting up and put my TMO sim in. I'm on NDE63N as well, and have no VZW apps in my drawer.

he is correct, just look in titanium backup and see all the vzw apps and apn stuff ready for when a verizon sim is put in
What if I buy a Verizon one and put in a different carrier sim? Will it get the OTA updates since it is the Verizon branded device? I will never put it on the VZW network if I can help it.

update for GSM
hey!Im currently using this phone on a gsm carrier. .anyway i can update the phone directly by putting it in CDMA mode or something?Or do i need to wait for a RUU to flash?Thanks!
Has anyone been able to get the ota update from verizon ?
I went back to completely stock 4.4.4 rom with no system roms removed, stock 4.4.4 recovery and I flashed back to 4.4.4 firmware and the verizon ota updates keeps coming up that I have the latest software.
I know its out because verizon itself even shows it on the net going over the update in detail. They even show you can also get the update through the htc sync software by plugging your m8 in to yuour computer usb port and downloading the update. Which the htc sync software keeps showing no update either.
It would show a repair software option though which I tried that knowing I would still have s-off even if they did relock my bootloader because I could change my cid and use htc dev to unlock that if I needed to.
Anyone have any luck going back to stock and taking the LP ota from verizon ?

The Lollipop update to the AT&T version of the M8 has VoLTE, indicating it's probably a carrier thing more than an HTC thing.

Probably. HTC's update page still says that it's in the "3 - Certification stage of the Android Lollipop Release."
Although Mo Versi did say to expect it the first week of March. So must be close.
I just ordered an m8 from Verizon and I really hope it didn't come with lollipop.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
Mo Versi replied this morning: "It's approved, you should receive the OTA soon. Thanks!"
Pretty sure one site saw that the lollipop documentation was up and just assumed the ota was released and then all the other sites just copy and pasted it and now its a runaway train. And it being approved is not the same as the update being pushed out. Pretty sure we got played as far as getting it today.

No. Verizon's own custom OE1 is the reason that it's not rootable. Once you have the OE1 Kernel or higher, you cannot root unless they find another exploit. I doubt they will considering it's an older phone that's already being phased out in terms of support.

Take it back. You have a "new" phone that basically has no support for it anymore. If you have something to use currently other than the S5, I'd consider waiting till the new Google Nexus 5 or 6 2015 edition coming out this year. That should have root and an unlocked bootloader (Google wouldn't stand for Verizon locking down their phone).

You would have to find a phone you like, go to that forum, and check. I believe any phone with an unlocked bootloader can always be rooted? And I'm pretty sure the Google nexus 5/6 (the old ones) will always be rootable.
I'm jumping ship from Samsung (I wanted to move to the Note at one point, but Samsung screwed up big time with their phones trying to make it like an iPhone, and with Samsung/Verizon in bed with locking up root/bootloader).

There's a search bar at the top of XDA where you can enter a device. It also allows you to specify which carrier as well. This is from the M9 forum. Says you need a JAVA card which is expensive, but it unlocks the phone/allows root. You can also donate (usually $20-60) users to do it for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t-s-off-how-root-s-off-verizon-m9-20-t3123178
I have no idea about the M8, seems to be the same, have to have S-OFF or whatever the heck that means. Do research yourself if you want the phone.

Follow the instructions in muniz_ri's thread. He hasn't released the deodexed version though. You should never take ota when rooted, and you should actually have it disabled as soon as you root. One user reported that they ota updated without losing root, but I'd never recommend it.
There is no benefit in disabling it. You have to authorize any update, so it cannot overwrite it on its own. The only reason to disable it is the popup after an update comes out which can be stopped by deleting the update.zip then having the install fail.
Two or three updates ago, I lost the ability to rotate my screen unless an app forces it to rotate, now with this update my phone no longer reads sd cards, and in fact boot loops if there is one inserted. I've done a lot of searching, both when the initial problem manifested, and now with the new problem, but haven't seen anyone with a fix. Any suggestions?
Verizon sm-g900v, latest update g900vvru2bog5,
Best Buy sells an unlocked version of the G920T - http://goo.gl/bk4ukE
It's not T-Mobile. It's unlocked and has no carrier bloat - just the usual Samsung stuff. It shows "4G" for LTE. (Edit: Correction - after the OTA referenced below, it shows H+ and LTE)
It came with 5.1.1 out of the box, build ending in COG3.
It had a 272mb software update immediately available that took it up to the build ending in COK1 and added the Android Security Patch Level line showing 2015-11-01.
Just curious how this model fits into the other unlocked models (f, i, etc.). Did Samsung simply take the T-Mobile model and sell a variant unlocked with no T-Mobile influence?
Sorry to bump this but I'm seeing a few more of these in the wild now and trying to figure it out. It's gotta have the same internals as the T-Mobile variant since the model number is the same, I'm assuming anyway? The full model is SM-G920TZKAX, but the packaging and phone just shorten it to T. The T-Mobile model is SM-G920TZDATMB. I guess knowing what the letters after G920T mean would be helpful.
From what I've read it appears to be a unlocked version of the T-Mobile variant. Can't find much information about it.
I purchased the unlocked version from Best Buy yesterday for $450. Rooted it and could not be happier.

Firmware?
Love the phone with no carrier bloatware, would have preferred 64GB but I can make due. I would like to root it but not without having factory firmware to fall back on. Even though it's a 920T it's has no T-Mobile apps so I'm pretty sure I can't load a T-Mobile ROM on it. If anyone runs across formware for a SM-G920TZKAXAR PLEASE let us know. TIA

Hey guys, I recently purchased an LG G3 AT&T Factory unlocked so other network carriers can be used. But when I click software update it already says I'm updated (CURRENTLY RUNNING LOLLIPOP 5.0.1) so I assume you need to have an AT&T sim card to update your software.
Is there like any way to bypass that so I can update my phone to android 6.0? If so how? and would I need to have it factory unlocked again?
I'm new to this, so detailed explanation would be deeply appreciated!

The AT&T model does not come factory unlocked. It's a carrier model and has to be manually unlocked. So if you bought it new it cannot be new as the seller would of had to open it to unlock it.
But no there is no other way to do OTA updates on it without an AT&T sim, go phone sim , or H2O prepaid sim.

Word of caution. Be familiar with how to revert to KK using the tot method. I say this because if the phone has been rooted, and all that was done was uninstall the root app and factory reset, the phone may not take an OTA update as it will read the system as modified. Plenty of discussion on this here in the forums. Also keep in mind that there is no permanent root method for MM as of yet.

I bought a 2015 Moto G instead of the LG G3. Decided to go with something not quite so large and with manufacturer (as opposed to carrier) support for MM. After looking at them "in the flesh" I decided the G3 was a larger phone than I wanted. Thanks for your help.

Not sure why your posting in this thread, CM 13 is not stock or official firmware. You first need to ROOT your device.

I just received a notification in my status bar for an update. The thing is, I've already applied the January update earlier this month. Anybody else getting this? Just curious why my phone thinks it needs to update...? I'm bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, Magisk 15.3 rooted and have the latest Flash kernel installed.
Yup. I just got the same thing. Any idea what it is?

Did you buy yours from Verizon?
I've got the notification too. Verizon model. Maybe this is the bootloader unlock fix!

I bought mine from Verizon and got it today too. I flashed stock back to take the OTA but it failed a few times. I was thinking it was a patched bootloader since they didn't do that with the January update. But apparently not if yours is from Google. There were some random lockscreen touch issues reported. It could possibly be a fix for that.
Sure hope it's not to lock the bootloader. My Verizon pixel 2 comes tomorrow and I want to unlock and root. I doubt it's preloaded already. Can anyone confirm you can unlock the bootloader with the new update?
I don't think it has anything to do with Verizon. I'm on T-mobile and got the 2nd update today as well.

Verizon doesn't push the updates. It is linked to your IMEI and pushed by Google.
Just got notified myself... Google phone on Verizon
Got it installed, new build number OPM2.171019.016. Maybe a bug fix release. I'm at work or I'd check it out more. It installed just fine though on non-Verizon Pixel 2.
just got the notification and thought I was going crazy since I just sideloaded jan 5th update yestreday
My wife's phone got it, however mine has not. Both are Google play store phone, on Verizon.
i don't see anything on google's website for sideloads.
It's probably for Spectre/meltdown patches/fixes.

I thought that initially as well. Went out and seen those issues were addressed already...at least according to BigRed

Ya but these could be fixes to the last one. They rushed it out so probably some fixes.
