I've been waiting for the ota lollipop update for my nexus 5 for a while now and it still hasn't arrived. My brother and i both got the same phone under the same carrier and he has the update but i don't. I have installed the developer preview of the os, could that be preventing the update from showing up? Will i have to update manually?
Its a rollout. Not "okay lets give every single person the OTA right now at this exact second".
Just flash the factory images except userdata.img and don't bother waiting.
Who pushes the OTA, google or carrier? I just received my Nexus 5 from Google play. Out of the box it updated to 4.4.4 but now I'm waiting for 5.0. Unfortunately, I don't have a sim card yet, it is on order from Sprint. Would the OTA still arrive without a sim card in it? I am leaving it connected to wifi just in case.

Google pushes it. Just not to everyone at the same time.

With a Nexus device, OTAs are pushed directly from Google. Carriers are irrelevant since every Nexus device is the exact same, hardware and software. Maybe with the exception of the Nexus 6, downloaded only if you have an AT&T SIM in during installation, but its on a separate partition and they're everything is still pushed out by Google.

You have a rooted nexus dont ya?
Yes that is preventing the update from showing up on your phone...
If you manually installed a custom firmware like the developer preview... You need to manually install further updates to your phone in order to run the desired software. If your phone was stock and ran on automatic updates from Google, then your phone would automatically ask for an update (5.0.x) and you wouldn't be waiting around

Software state has nothing to do with whether the OTA will show up. It can show up even on a custom ROM. You just won't be able to flash it properly.
Youre right..but OTA indicator can be disabled by the developer..anyways the interesting thing is that the OP has lollipop Dev preview on his phone..yet he's waiting for an update..for 5.0? He's got lollipop already. He is waiting for nothing to pop up on his phone

If he's waiting for official release OTA on the developer preview, its never going to happen since its pointless to provide an OTA for those in a developer preview since it is assumed they know how to flash properly in the first place.
If he's on KK, he just has to wait.
If he's on Lollipop 5.0 and wants the OTA to 5.0.1, then again he has to wait.
If the phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, but still running stock will the OTA arrive? I have not installed anything custom. No rom, kernal, or anything else.
I'm in the same boat
I actually got my Nexus 5 just two weeks ago. I had a Nexus 5 with Lollipop before and I had a cracked screen so I got a replacement, but with this new one it's still on Kitkat. I've been waiting for Lollipop since I got it and I'm not quite sure what to do. What did the OP do? Have you found a solution?
The OTA`s are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217 and the full images are here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. These kind of threads are so depressing to read :silly:

I got my nexus 5 two weeks ago. Everything is stock, unrooted and on 4.4.4. It's still waiting for the OTA. My nexus 4 received the OTA for 5.0 and 5.0.1 early dec. immediately after unboxing, it prompted update to 4.4.3 then immediately followed by 4.4.4 which was instant but no 5.0 OTA notification yet.
Hey everyone,
Yesterday I installed the new 32.3.A.0.376 update on my 100% Stock Z5 (E6653) via the xperia companion.
After the update it was stuck in a bootloop (crashes and restarts shortly after the android animation finishes)
Here is the full timeline:
Update via xperia companion -> bootlop
Remove SD Card and SIM -> bootlop
Repair via xperia companion -> bootloop
Second repair via xperia companion -> bootloop
Flash Nougat with the flashtool -> bootloop
Flash latest non-nougat firmware -> it boots!
This time I did the update to nougat via OTA -> bootloop
Flash different nougat firmare via flashtool -> bootloop
Back to marshmallow...
Factory reset & Install update via xperia companion on a different computer -> bootloop
Install marshmallow, factory reset & Install ota update -> bootloop
So basically i tried every possible combination of installing the update without unlocking the bootloader or other things that might void warranty. It just won't boot!
What do you guys think might be the cause for this? And what can i try to get nougat working on my device before sending it in for a repair? Thanks!
how about cables? have you tried using different usb cables? how about non sony cables? or any other authentic original cable! like samsung usb2 ?
Cables? Sounds more like voodoo too me I mean I did the whole thing without any cables attached, too (OTA).

sir
when you tried all these possible combinations of flashtool, MM, N, repairs via sony pc suite etc even on different computer,
my question is did you add trying different usb cable in all this process?
and when you say you have tried different version N, can you be specific what build you tried?

I flashed 32.3.A.0.376-R4D and 32.3.A.0.376-R5D (one is with provider customization, one without).
And I just tried it with a different cable on a different usb port. But I'm afraid it's still the same result.

sir if possible
1. kindly paste Flashtool log here ( of both machines )
2. what is the operating system of those two different pc's ? win 7 and/or win10
3. have you ever successfully flashed your xperia using those ssytems before? (considering driver issues)
4. flashtool 0.9.23.2 supports N (ONLY) any other version can't install it , so can u check what version of flashtool you used ( in both machines?)
thank you

To answer your questions:
1. I currently don't have one but I do not recall any errors appearing in the logs.
2. I'm using windows 10 and yes, drivers were installed correctly (by booting the system with signature checks disabled)
3. I did successfully flash marshmallow (32.2.A.5.11) multiple times after the failed nougat update.
4. My version of flashtools matches 0.9.23.2
I tried to update the the phone multiple time using official tools (OTA, xperia companion) before resorting to flashtool.
This, and the fact that flashtool works well otherwise, means the issue is with my device and/or the update itself and not with flashtool.
Is it possible to get some log files out of the device to see what's causing the crash?

after asking so many questions and reading all your answers ! i feel like saying i wish i could get hold of your device to see what actually got wrong in OTA flashing!
the reason why ask all these question is that it happend with my friends Z1 years ago when by simply updating to news OTA , device got stuck in bootloop! and the only thing he could do is unlock the bootloader and installed cynogenmod. at that time i could not find any possible reason why this has happend!
the ultimate solution for you could be unlocking boot loader OR wait until we get some sense on the internet about this issue! ( i will research more)
btw, I always flash my device on win7 64bit. if possilbe try flashing via win7 , just in case.
also i couldn't help thinking , it might have something to do with FSC script! even on the flashtool download page! they have mention how few devices get bricked if flashtool is used! but then you tried updating via xperia companion also!

Yeah, I already feared that this would be the only solution :crying:
Next week I'm gonna try to get a refund/replacement, so let's see how that goes first before I unlock the bootloader.
Thanks for your help though!

to be honest there is nothing wrong with your device! you had rooted 5.11 easily! this means the stock android .372 or .376 having N kernel is not working properly with your hardware!
if you are replacing your device then no need to unlock your bootloader! unless u want rooted phone!
REMEMBER to research all about DRM KEYS and TA backups before you even think about unlocking in your dream.

When you were making .ftf ,did you delete fwinfo and exclude .ta files ?
If not, that can lead to bootloop.
Hey guys, I just want to give you a quick update on the issue:
Last week I brought my phone to a local retailer, they sent it in and today I received a completely new device with Android 7.0 pre-installed!
So it seems like the issue was covered by warranty.
All in all I'm surprised how smooth everything went.
And thanks to everyone who tried to help me here!
Hi guys,
I have a Sony Xperia XZ (F8331) and my current firmware is 39.2.A.0.442 with my customization being 1304-9025_R6C which corresponds to Customized IBE.
From what I can see on XperiCheck, Customized IBE is already on version 41.2.A.2.199 but I’m yet to receive an OTA upgrade.
I know I can flash with Flashtool, but I have previously received OTA updates including those with a bump on OS version (MM to Nougat 7.0) so my question is… what possible reasons are there that can be preventing me from getting this specific OTA upgrade? BTW, I'm not rooted.
Thanks in advance!
are you rooted?

Not rooted, and not rooted as well when previous OTA upgrades were received (of course)
Hello, if you are customized IBE you must recevie the OTA , connect the phone to computer and open Sony Xperia companion and you shoud recive the update....then update.
Another way is reset the phone to factory and you will recive via OTA, but you will lose all the data .

Some receive instant OTA , others slower, ( i rember something about first few days only some receive ota, and the next 15 days alll get the ota.)
Also can you post a screenshot with the customized ibe?

Sure, there you go (and 15 days have passed, I believe).
So is something weird, there's no 39.2.A.0.422-R6C for your customized IBE

That's odd... no 39.2.A.0.442 on XperiCheck but I did get that one through OTA, and other customizations have it on XperiCheck (e.g., Customized BLX)
Also, just checked Xperia Companion and it says device is up to date. Any clues?
Hmm, I have an F8332 and the latest update available for that is 41.2.A.7.8. It won't install on mine for some reason (verification step fails everytime), Sony says just to wait and it'll likely work in a couple days.
Just got it 30min ago, The android on it now is 6.0 emui 4.1 and it wants me too update too 7.0 5.0. Is it ok too update too it now before unlocking the bootloader and root?
Why i ask is i think it would be a good idea too test the phone for a few days first too make sure it has no issues.
Also from reviews and from what i herd about the phone from others. They say the back plate is metal? From what i can tell its plastic on mine is that normal? Or did they just meant its a metal like finish?

Welcome on board!
I suggest you to update the system and testing it a while before unlocking the bootloader, just to be sure it's OK.
The back of my phone it's like gray metal, I can't tell if it's real or plastic. Feels like metal though.
You could check some videos on the web to see if your phone it's just like the other.
Goodnight

Just did the update a hour ago
And yea its hard too tell sense some metals can feel like plastic lol But im pretty sure its metal now reviews says the top and bottom edges are plastic but the middle part is metal and i still have the plastic cover on the back so its a bit hard too tell lol.
So far its working great i probably will run it for couple days before i do anything too it bootloader etc.
Big performance boost from my old htc droid the droid is still a decent device but the battery is on its way out will ony hold about a 50% charge:/ and max it runs is 6.0 and the biggest issue is no mico sd slot...
welcome
So far still running great really loving the performance!
I have question tho. Under security it says patch level march 2017. Is that normal? or should i be on a newest date?
Its on 7.0 5.0 build number b360 and says there's isn't a new update.
Model is bln-l24 us.

It rolls out in batches if new OTA comes. However, for regualr or old update it comes very quickly once you insert the sim. You may wait for couple of days though before trying anything new
So looks like everything is fine on this phone hardware wise So im looking into unlocking the boot loader and doing root but want too keep the stock feeling.
When i go too this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822 and when going too twrp i see they saying fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img..
Is there a img for the usa model? Or will the berlin.img work too?

When looking for root all i see its for other versions like berlin. unless that works for the usa model too?
Hmm just noticed the thread i posted is yours lol
Does it work with the usa model? what got me hang up is the berlin step.
i just unlocked the bootloader Tried doing it with the UC browser on the device and it wouldn't load the sites in the guide... But it worked doing on this page and doing it from my pc. https://www.gadgetcreed.com/100-working-huawei-honor-6x-unlock-bootloader-guide/
Gave me my unlock code and i followed the guide and it worked OEM unlock was showing for me too which says some users wont have it on 5.0.
Now for root question. Will i still get updates if i root? I probably wont mess with custom roms for awhile cause i like the stock look lol

You will still receive OTA updates; however, I don't know if they'll install on your device properly after rooting. If you get an update, I'd recommend unrooting, reflashing the stock bootloader, and then relocking the bootloader. The Android 8.0 update is likely to come out for the Honor 6x in December or January, so I wouldn't have rooted now if I were you. I think 8.0 might be the last major update for the Honor 6x for a while, so I would recommend rooting then, honestly. Even the guys who make the Stock ROMs (Open Kirin) stopped development for Nougat in favor of Oreo ROMs, so many of the Nougat stock Android ROMs are buggy.

Oh i ony did the unlocking boot loader so best case is too just wait not rooting it right now till when 8.0 comes out? Having the boot loader unlocked wont effect updates etc tho right?
But yea i was ony going too root for the root apps and the trwp recovery but stay on the stock rom that comes with it.

You will get OTA but wont be able to install as boot.img modified. Best way in that case would be to flash the stock boot.img, stoct recovery.img and proceed with ota download and installation.
Or other way, be as it is, download full firmware and update via Dload. These manual update is way faster before OTA even rolls out.

I struggle to understand why it's so difficult to get any information about when I can expect my phone to update to Oreo. I understood that it would be updateable out of the box when I bought it back in August, but I'm still waiting. I'm not overly bothered about the new features, but I need an Oreo device to properly test an app I have to update, according to Google Play.
Anyway, I was wondering. It's November the 2nd, Oreo has been about for a while now, I have a 2018 phone running 7.1. I've tried updating through the few legitimate means available but am still being told my device is up-to-date. Trawling the Internet for clues about who has or hasn't got this update, I've failed to find any definitive information. So I don't know if my phone is not updating when it should be, and I'm reluctant to do any hacking. Too many bad experiences there.
So the question is, is anyone else here with a Galaxy A8 (2018) still waiting? I'm on giffgaff, with an unbranded, unlocked (i.e. not network locked) phone.
Thanks,
Paul.

I'm not rooted, and I wanted to avoid using Odin or any unofficial means of updating. In the past I've just had too many headaches with those approaches. I guess I was really just wondering who else out there is waiting for this long overdue update.

So the question is, is anyone else here with a Galaxy A8 (2018) still waiting? I'm on giffgaff, with an unbranded, unlocked (i.e. not network locked) phone.
Thanks,
Paul.

You can try SamFirm downloader, when there is an update available it will show up.
Odin is safe to use, you can flash official filmware through it without a problem.
It is possible to flash other country filmware with the Oreo update with the same bootloader that you've got.
For some countries there won't be any updates to Oreo, and they stay on Nougat 7.1 August patch.

My device came with oreo out of the box.
I'll try every possible solution before samfirm.
Btw I tried it on a friends device and it doesn't worked on his also.!

Whats the other solution you have left?
With SamFirm you can see directly if there's an update or not, its that simple and can do no harm.

I don't see the problem, from SamFirm you get an official update just like OTG, the difference is that its updating right from your Phone with an OTG.
Basically you receive the same update.
But, "Suit yourself"

I mean the actual hardware not firmware.
Don't forget that I cannot see any device that is connected via OTG adapter at this moment.
Problem solved.
OTG is supported only with the original adapter.
