It is my second month in using this Verizon Pixel 2. I am not using it in the US but rather had a friend bought it from Google Store and had someone brought overseas.
My Pixel 2 doesn't seem to receive the Jan 18 update yet. However, I have heard that despite being Verizon's phone, it still receives OTA directly from Google. Do Verizon's Pixel phones usually receive OTA update later than normal (unlocked) phones? Is there any Verizon's Pixel 2 out there already received Jan 18 update?
Please share. Thank you.
I have a VZW Pixel 2 XL and haven't received the January 2018 update yet. I know there were talks that the "check for updates" button really doesn't do anything right now because a previous update broke it.

Not yet, but you can always flash a kernel with it or sideload.
Not yet. Non-Verizon Pixel 2 with Verizon SIM.
I received the January 5 patch on January 4. Go figure.
I received the update notification on the 5th. Didn't install because I'm rooted.
I got my 5 January security update (presumably the fix for the processor exploit drama) OTA...I did have to get the phone to request the update manually (from Settings), but it found it right away and installed. I'm on Verizon and live in Hawaii...I heard that sometimes location matters. It took a few days for me to get the Android 8.1 update.
Thanks for all the replies.
As of writing this reply, my Pixel 2 still saying that the device is up to date.
For sideloading, I went to Google Developers website and saw 2 variants of Jan 2018 OTA patches.
- 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018)
- 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.014, Jan 2018, O2/UK only)
which one of these is for Verizon Pixel? I'm not sure because for Sep and Nov patches there are dedicated links for Verizon variant e.g. 8.0.0 (OPD3.170816.023, Nov 2017, Verizon) However, as I went to VZW's website at https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/google-pixel-2-update/ it says that its Jan 2018 patch is now live and the version number is OPM1.171019.013
If so, can I just sideload the 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018) OTA patch? Does Pixel have some kind of fool-proofing to protect itself from flashing the wrong patch?
Thanks!

I just flashed the factory image for 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018) and I'm on Verizon with the phone bought at the Verizon store and an unlocked bootloader. So I think it's safe to say that this is the Verizon version of the patch.

Thanks for the confirmation. But how did you unlock the bootloader anyway?

Page one of that thread, my link isn't working right.
Thank you all. I have successfully sideloaded the image 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018) on my VZW Pixel 2. I'm not in the US and never used my Pixel 2 to connect to Verizon's network. I bought VZW version of Pixel 2 just because I like the blue unit. I don't know if I will have to sideload the patch every month from now on.
I have a Verizon Pixel 2 (bought in the Google's pop-up shop in NYC), I'm actually living in Europe, using a different carrier, and I didn't received the Jan 18 update yet.
Usually Verizon phones receive updates later. 8.1 December update was released on December 5th, and I received it like 1 week later

Thanks for the info. I will wait until I get the update next month to see how late the patch would come in February.
Is anyone else disappointed that the security patch updates are taking so long to be released. . We're 3 months behind now.

I just got a system update notice an hour ago. Gonna install it tonight.
I've got a HK U11 plus. What region is your phone from?
Cheers
No update for CID 060 yet
Got a new update today, Taiwan version
Software number 1.24.709.7
Android security patch still Dec.1 2017
Didn't specify what is new in patch note
Has anyone tried to contact HTC? I'm very disappointed with the security updates. I thought that HTC was going to be better than LG
Hello,
I recieved my UK model of Honor V10 (BKL-L09) today which is on firmware 8.0.0.130(C432) out of the box with Jan security updates. Is this the latest? (I've checked the updates manually several times but nothing!)
I think I've read somewhere that March security patches have been dispatched but I can't remember where I read this.
I still didn't install the sim card yet as I'll need to buy a new one from the shop tomorrow but I'm not sure if this has any influence on having any OTA update showing up.
P.S. Firmware finder didn't find anything!
Also, I'd like to know an approximate date for Official Oreo 8.1 + EMUI 8.1 ROM for European models (as it is the case with the USA models which are on these latest versions out of the box)

On a 432 variant?
I have received OTA 8.0.0.140 (C675). No big upgrades but yes, on my device the ram management is a lot better now.

I'm running a A-530F, H3G CSC variant on the 3 UK network and haven't received the November 2018 patch yet. I got the October 2018 security patch on the 18th October and from previous patch cycles I expect the November patch to arrive early to mid December. As a side note the October patch seemed to have improved performance compared to the September 2018 patch.

Though I think part of the slowdown in my case is the update being built for a carrier variant, this November 2018 update has come out late this month (from Sammobile, it looks like the A8 security patch was released last week https://www.sammobile.com/2018/11/23/galaxy-a5-2017-a8-2018-november-security-update/ ) Would I like it to be quicker? Of course, though the A8 is one of the few remaining non-S or non-Note Samsung devices to get monthly security patches. https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb

Yeah, I've not seen any info regarding the W or N models. Looking at the release patch cycle for previous security patches, the A530W XAC looks to be overdue for its November update, given most updates were deployed around the middle of that associated and respective month https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530W/XAC/

I'm in the European region usually the security update is pushed out a month after. So November security update is pushed in December

I have update with patch for november. I can't update without Odin. If I install new wersion with Odin, I'll must wate 168 hours for OEM unlock. Can this somehow be avoided?

I have SM-A530F. Can I copi OEM file in /device, save it on SD Card and after install new wersion replace OEM file with OEM Unlock?
I can't replace file without root. Before install new wersion of Android I maked Backup Android with TWRP, but I can't restore Android without TWRP, and I can't install TWRP without Oem Unlock. Everything spins in the circle.
I got the October update on the 26/10, 2 days later i received the November update.
November update is now out for A530W
But not out for some carriers like freedom mobile
On the November update SM-A530F, I was waiting 191 hours for OEM Unlock and nothing. The battery was running fast, so I returned to the October update and I'm waiting for OEM Unlock. On the October update, battery is O.K.

Hmm, maybe it's one of Sammy's tricks into getting either the s9 or the new a8s ?
I have had my Z Flip 3 since October 6th. I received the September 2021 security update immediately. But since the October 2021 update has been released, my phone will not get it. I have tried several times to check for updates, but it says there is no updates. Has anyone else on Verizon in the US got this update?
I see I can download an update from SamMobile, but I wasn't sure it was for Verizon.

Thank you, but this will not work for me. I loaded Frija, but Verizon updates are not available through Frija.

I believe the base update for the 711U is the same across all US carriers. Just pick another CSC such as TMB.
