Android System Update w/ Root - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hey all,
I've got the Verizon Pixel 128gb with unlocked bootloader and 7.1.1. I just received the notice from my phone today asking if I want to get the recent Android System Update for the 2017-01 patches. (46.5 mb).
Will it mess anything up if I accept this? Anyone else receive this? Will it work on a rooted phone? I haven't seen anything about this particular update yet, so I figured I'd ask.

There are monthly updates, first Monday of every month. If you are unlocked you can take it no problem. However if you are rooted or modded it will fail and you will have to do it manually.

It won't hurt anything, but you won't be able to apply it automatically. The best method for handling updates is this:
Steps for Magic:
Install TWRP
Flash OTA file using ADB sideload
Reinstall TWRP
Profit!

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ
If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone

Updates on Verizon Pixel Alt Carrier?

Purchased my Pixel from local Verizon store outright cause they were sold out everywhere. I am currently using it on Cricket but have not received the 7.1.1 update. I'm wondering if I will need to insert Verizon sim card or side load every update or if Wi-Fi/Cricket will be sufficient for latest updates. My bootloader is unlocked but I am not rooted or have TWRP installed. Anybody in similar ssituations or have answers?

That is a really good question that I have not really found the answer to yet. I posted it on G+ but never really got a definitive yes or no. I have a VP with a Google Fi sim in. I didn't get the update either and just sideloaded it night before last. If you're unlocked you will have no issues sideloading or even flashing a full image for that matter. Just don't relock it.. like ever. All I can do is sideload an OTA at this point being bl locked on 7.1.1. By my choosing, btw. Here is the G+ community you might want to join.

I was forced to pay for a month of Verizon prepaid to purchase the phone from them so I slapped my Verizon sim that still has service back in the phone. Still no update, tried with Wi-Fi on and off. I'm wondering if the update has been pushed out to everyone yet. I did get the November update when I first got the phone so who knows
I'm sure you will get the update at some point during the staged rollout. It will take a few weeks to roll out to everyone. If you can't wait install it manually.

Updating Verizon Pixel on T-Mobile

Sorry, if it's been asked but I couldn't find an answer.
I have Verizon Pixel working on TMobile. bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted and has TWRP installed. It is also updated to 7.1.1 via OTA. It currently has NMF26O firmware.
How do I update to NMF26Q? I get nothing via software check on the phone probably because it's rooted or on T-Mobile network.
Thanks for the help.
You can download it from:
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
And update using adb sideload

That's what I thought. Do you know if update wipes everything and I need to reroot and TWRP.

I would wait till Tuesday when the January update comes out. Only have to do it once. And the update is for overseas. Don't need it for T Mobile.
Why do you want NMF26Q? If you are not on O2 or China Unicom there's nothing there for you.
I have the Verizon pixel on Verizon and I personally would not install it, I did and I was having freezing and rebooting issues with a clean install. Plus like everyone else is saying, the newest security update will be
Thank you all.
I would wait for the January update, too.
FWIW, I fastboot flash-all updated to 26Q the day it came out. Works fine here....
Is it possible to flash June update NGK47L for TMobile on NH 47TH verizon

OTA Update to Oreo

Hey guys... Does anyone know when I should expect my update to Oreo OTA. I don't plan on becoming a beta tester or flashing it myself.
So if anyone has an idea of when Oreo will be pushed out to the masses, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. No one knows yet. There are not even factory images available nor full OTA images on the google site here.
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Until such time as they appear don't sweat it. After they do then you can re-ask your question but you'll probably get it before you can hit send. Someone said they got an OTA on Verizon from 7.1.2 to 8.0 but I'm a little leery of that claim since no one else I've seen has received it.
I believe it was destined for the Aug 21 deadline but some major problems have arisen and I believe it was pulled for further testing. Bluetooth is one of them, random rebooting, stuff like was on some dp4 devices. I also saw some volume control issues too. Yes, I know others haven't had issues and someone will post a link to the factory images on the android site but that doesn't help any of us with locked bootloaders. Besides the fact that I like the background install and being able to use the phone while it's updating. Then a simple reboot and you're done. It'll happen soon but no one knows when yet.
I am in UK and I have already received for Oreo OTA on Google Pixel set.
It can be flashfire updated as well for root purpose.

So you were on stock 7.1.2, locked bootloader, not rooted and you received an OTA to 8.0? I'm not sure what you mean by flashfire updated. An OTA installs in the background.

I am on 7.1.2 unlock bootloader with root.
You should also have received ota update if you are on locked bootloader with no root.
Some of ota roll out dependent on carrier. But if yours is google set, you would be able to receive by now.

Well that's a bit of good news. One thing is that on G+ no one has posted the inevitable screenshot of the OTA notification (which are at best annoying but they do it anyway), so it must be rolling out very slowly. The other thing is that once an OTA is released the system images are usually available with the OTA images shortly thereafter. I don't see either of those at this point.
I mean I'm gonna wait and I'm sure it'll be here, but the question is when. I'm on VZW so they might be tweaking some things before the let Google release it. Not sure how that works.
Did yours install in the background and then a reboot to 8.0? How long was the bootup process if you watched it?
For carrier, like you said roll out will take some time. For me, time taken is similar to update and reboot as normal security patch monthly update where it should take longer as this is the whole different version. May be backbone still same but with just UI change and some tweaks.

I've just recieved this update notice on my U11+

I checked my u11+ for updates (for a laugh) last week - nothing.
Today, there iss an update waiting which is 2.19.400.2 - the same as what's installed?
The only thing I can think of is that I tried installing TWRP once but if failed so left it for another time as thinking of the project treble updates.
Anyone else had this? What should I do?
Hi, I also received this update notification today.
I'm also holding off on the update for now as its been a while since the HTC U11 plus received any updates....
just received update notice 2.19.400.2, also holding, was thinking about pulling it out, but don't know how, am still pure raw unrooted.
I just received an update notice for 2.19.401.2 (502.4 MB).
Not enough for an OS increment. I'm waffling.
I just received this notification too.
But I'm reluctant to install it because I'm rooted, and it seems too large to be just a security patch.
I hope someone did not hack HTC's update servers !?
i recieved a similar message today has any one figured out whats up with this out of no where update?
my version is 2.19.401.2 which is the same installed version ..

Ecause you are rooted you .ay be able to safe the update and see if there's actually something new in there.
I am tinkering with my newly acquired U11+ and did many attempts to install a GSI and noticed the same update. The update didn't actually change anything for me as far as I can tell. Mine is a EU version with the last update: Pie, security update July 2019.
