Which Image?? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

So I'm curious- when flashing OEM images from Google, which version is the "Verizon" version? The reason I ask is that I've had a Pixel that I purchased from Google direct and have been running it on VZW.
Recently, due to some odd malfunctioning, I tried and tried to re-flash the phone with the standard image (not Europe and not Verizon because I bought the phone directly from Google), but since it still didn't correct the problem, Google has now sent me a new, replacement phone.
So upon receiving the new Pixel, it was way out of date - running 7.1.1 and a February build, so I updated the os only to find that it has installed the May - Verizon build (aka NHG47L). That blew me away because I always assumed the "Verizon" images were for when you bought the phone from Verizon...NO?
Thanks for clearing the air here-

Questions go in the Q&A section. Report your post to a moderator by clicking the exclamation point in the triangle /!\ in the lower left corner of your post and ask them to move the thread to Q&A.
When you're​ running stock on the Pixel no matter where you got the Pixel, after you put a Verizon SIM in it, the phone will download and install the Verizon version of the stock Pixel ROM.
The site https://developers.google.com/android/images says which versions are Verizon specific.

Understand.
If you are re-flashing a Pixel to stock though, and that Pixel came from Google but has a VZW sim card installed, is it advised to flash the Verizon stock image or the non-designated image or does it matter? I had assumed it was best to flash the non-VZW image due to the added issues involved with unlocking a VZW phone, but after I had done that, I was having some phone app malfunction issues and so I'm wondering if the fact that I had not flashed the VZW image was causing my issues or not.
Thanks

If Verizon is your carrier, then you should flash the Verizon build which is at this time NHG47L. If your Pixel came from the Google Store, then you don't have to worry about the bootloader, you will be able to unlock, and lock it at will.

Again, as long as it's a pixel direct from Google, then no I've rooted mine before, but I usually stay stock

Thanks, I like their reception but nothing else. I'll never buy another phone from them. I've been using Google version with no problems. Could the difference be just bloat ware?

no. It apparently has improvements in it for their network. It doesn't include extra applications.

[Q] Can VRLG1 be downgraded back to VRLF2 if needed?

I read in a thread that someone lost their imei and it was suggested for them to use *2767*3855# to restore everything back to factory and reactivate the sim. I know this won't update oyur baseband to the newer editions, but it made me think about if someone bought a new phone that has the updated firmware, or somehow got their baseband/radios/kernel updated to the new version (whether through OTA or through getting a new phone), would it be possible to downgrade baseband/radio/firmware back to the previous edition since the VRLF2 version is also signed and authentic?
If it is possible to downgrade, does anyone have the dump files needed from an "older" version to do this? How would it be done, through odin or recovery, or terminal/adb (like backing up and restoring /efs partition)?
Thanks

Yep, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313 for details.
The forum post has links to both the old and new modem, and full flashing instructions.
yes and I would only use the VLRF2 since it does not have the dumbed down search...the update is a downgrade!! If you like you can upgrade to the VRLG1 radio/modem and stay on the VRLF2 software.

Is there a general concensus yet on the newer modem? seems the posts go both ways... a lot of people saying it's better, others saying it's not.
I guess the only way to be sure is to try it out

I used the Phone Info app to shut off 4g, and made a number of before/after test of the 3g signal.
It seems to be consistantly 2 or 3 db better with the new modem.
For example, sitting at my desk, I would show -82 dBm with the old modem, and -79 dBm with the new modem.
Can't say if there is any difference in 4g performance, it's nice and fast both before and after.
One change that I noticed, with the new modem, when switching from 3g to 4g, it changes over almost instantly. Before the modem upgrade, it would take maybe 30 seconds or so to pick up the 4g signal.
I535VRLG1 update
I also wondered this. Is there a reason except for the search function to go back to the first radio?
Also on a side note, I never accepted an OTA update! Was this pushed without the user's consent?

Updating the radio has nothing to do with the search function. If you currently have the VRLF2 build, you can update the radio (also the kernel) to the newer version without changing the build version.
If you purchased an updated phone, or take an OTA update, then you will have the downgraded google search. As pointed out by pjamv5, that's easy enough to fix if you want the old google search.
I've updated the kernel and radio, here's the end result:

I first flashed the G1 radio firmware and kept the F2 ROM. I didn't notice much of a difference. Went ahead and flashed BeanTown R2 ROM which is based on the G1 rom but customized. It all works well for me.

Did anybody else receive an OTA this morning?

Bought my GS4 yesturday, this morning around 10am i got an OTA that was about 28mb. Not sure what that OTA did because i cant find any change log anywhere or anybody else talking about it...does anybody know anything?
Build Number is JDQ39.I337MVLUAMDL
On Rogers in Canada
You should probably have put down Rogers on the thread title. I didn't receive anything but I am no AT&T. But one more thing, I was talking in this other thread with the Canadian carrier guys. Is your Contacts and phone app white or black / blue?
Even though I'm on AT&T, I am happy for Rogers customers. Can anyone elaborate on what this update does? Hopefully it addresses the lag?
On US AT&T and no OTA. I wouldn't download any OTA's though just in-case they address the hacked bootloader.
@geoldr: The OTA was launched by Samsung globally.
Good to see you again P-Pat! I got the notification, but rooted before installing in case there was patch to stop root. After I tried to install and it said my phone has been modified and updates are not available. I am now searching to figure out how to install this....

I'm a bit confused at this. Even if Samsung releases an update, we won't get it instantly because the carriers have to test it out and everything right? Hasn't this always been the case or am I missing something?

From what I have read, so far it has been launched on Sprint, Rogers and the international version. I am sure AT&T will come soon. Samsung launches the updates, but the carriers distribute them...that is why Android version updates have different timing for different carriers.

Somewhere I read they can force push security updates onto the phone without you even having to accept it. This is something I think they would do over the bootloader to prevent people from stopping the patch.

It will save you from an annoying notification, but you have to click to initiate the install. Also, if you are are rooted, the ota won't work. You are safe.

I figured with this method of root it wouldn't effect the update since we weren't messing with the firmware.

Thanks Bud!! Nice to see you too. On the screenshot you posted, it doesnt match up to mine. It was 28mb and it didnt have any mention of ''improved stability''. Im really wondering what that was, maybe the canadien version of that european release. Also the build number doesnt match up

not always, i received 2 updates on the GS3 that were released from sammy and did not go through carrier testing, unless they did it so uniformly that it didnt seem like it, but then again, telus and bell got it the same day rogers did, but those updates were stability and securtiy related, they didnt bring any features, so i guess it really depends on what the updates changes
This link confirms what David Dee was saying, it also matches my build number and size of update
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...iving-its-first-ota-update-build-l720vpuamdl/
I wouldnt worry too much about OTAs anymore since AdamOutler has an Odin flashable current firmware up in the dev forums.

My carrier is 2degrees in New Zealand. It's almost as if installing new roms disabled "unlocked to any network" thing
I payed for s-off so I could install a debloated ROM but i got no service. So i decided to install Viper but still got no service.
Now all I want is for service to work i don't even care about the bloatware since getting rid of it seems to be so fricken difficult.\
Could you please help me in installing the stock rom for my phone and getting service to work?

A factory reset from the stock recovery is usually the answer for this. Has to be the stock recovery, not TWRP. They do different things.

When I flashed RUU it took me back to stock recovery. No TWRP or SuperSU. I failed to mention I am Verizon to Straight Talk conversion. Idk if maybe it has something to do with them or not. I just have zero signal whether the phone is activated or unactive.
I have been working on my m8 for the past 7 hours. It was working but I messed it up the same way as you and now I am without service as well. No idea what to do

I've been searching man. The be at conclusion I can come up with is finding the correct RUU for you service provider and area. I flashed on for Europe and idk if maybe that has something to do with my poor service. Our phone receives very minimal support due to age.

Finally got service to work by flashing a Verizon RUU even though I'm in Pakistan. It works but I am back on square one, i.e absolutely horrendous signals. The phone is basically useless at this point because it's always on a single bar. I think it's a hardware issue so there's nothing really I can do :/

Beta program

Hi guys,
i have a pixel and i want to enrrol to the beta program, i just done the process but it seams that update is not arriving, its posible that verizon pixels can't enroll to beta program?

I dont have oem unlocked. I can sideloade it?
Yea even i didn't get it. I guess it not for the verizon phones.
Can anyone who has upgraded to 7.1.2 let us know if it appears stable enough for a daily driver and have they noticed any differences ? Thank you.....
Another locked bootloader VZW customer here who enrolled and is waiting for OTA. I think we'll get it, just have to wait for OTA's to start. Google let us enroll, and we seem to have gotten updates from Google and not VZW so far. I think it'll just take a day or 2 to start rolling.
I installed 7.1.2 briefly. No changes that I noticed besides radio and boot IMG. Seemed stable enough for daily, I went back to PN because of substratum.
I am a non VZW pixel user (Koodo - Canada) and have not received the OTA after signing up yesterday. They note that it may take 24 hours and looks like it's going to for me.

If anyone gets the OTA, please pull and post it. OTA's can be flashed in TWRP, followed by a re-flash of TWRP to keep custom recovery. I'm too lazy to download the full firmware, edit it, and flash with a computer.

Correct. And for some reason the flash-all.bat never works for me. It fails towards the end of the flash. I have to run it through one of those tool kits for it to accept it.
Flashing the OTA in TWRP is a smaller download, quicker, no PC, and it consistently works for me.

I had the same problem a long time ago. Turns out I was using an old version of fastboot. Once I updated it I had no problem with the flashall.bat
OTA hasn't rolled for the pixel yet, likely "soon", my guess is today or tomorrow at the latest since XL has gone out. I am on project FI and got the pixel through the play store fyi

I am also in the waiting for the OTA camp and use an unlocked Verizon Pixel and PIxel XL. I have had better luck using the TWRP sideload method and it installing to the other slot with each subsequent sideload appears to me a more consistent way to keep everything updated in the same way that the system OTA works.

Sideloading OTAs, in order or can skip?

So I was away from my computer when the January Security update came out so Im on the December update.
I would like to know can I just jump straight to the Feb update when its available or do I need to do Jan first then Feb?
im unlocked, rooted, ex kernel, google store phone. thanks.
You can just jump.
my phone is on the latest 8.1 april ota.
after the update the phone freezes when placing and recieving phone calls
is it possible to "downgrade" to the previous ota the one from march to test the phone app or will it break the phone

thanks

I think downgrading via OTA it's quite impossible.
You have to wipe and flash the full factory image.

You should've have to wipe. Just flash the full image but remove the -w from the flash all bat file. That saves data and settings. But backup to be sure.

Time to start clearing data on the dialer related apps, or reset the phone. I am hopeful that will help you. If it was soley update related the forum would be blowing up with complaints.
Now did something go wrong with your update... I'll buy that.
i just assumed it was the april security update it started acting up around the same time. i thought maybe a crappy download
i already did a few factory resets. tried third party dialers. everything i could think of.
what really sucks is i am 3 months out of the 1 year google warranty. so i am pretty much screwed.
thanks for your help bro
i will try to sideload the latest ota.. if it is still jacked up then it is probably hardware related
what sucks is i am still paying it off and it is virtually unusable lol.. at least i can text
