I have Google Pixel 128GB locked bootloader and when i checked system update. It shows waiting for wifi even when I connected to strong wifi connection. But when I factory reset and check update, it can download and install update. Is there anyway to update without factory reset?

Yes. Just follow this guide (it's in a february ota thread but works for every release, I can confirm).
Always did this, zero problems.

Hi everyone, there is this really strange issue with my phone, if i try to update it to the latest Nougat version it will update but will reboot and work for about 30 seconds before it restarts, the phone works well if i stay on the android version I have now (7.0 May 2017 update) but if I update it even just by one version it will continue to have this issue which forced me to restore it back via Odin. Also when I go into my settings and have a look at my storage I notice that it only says that it has 16GB storage capacity which isn't true. I was wondering if anyone out there has had this issue before or knows how to fix any of mine any information would be greatly appreciated. Before anyone asks, no my phone has never been rooted, I have tried factory resetting, I have tried other firmware's from different carriers, I have tried most things but nothing seems to work, please help. Thanks.
So it's updating via OTA and having problems or you're manually flashing to newer versions? And when you flash you're using all 4 firmware files and no just AP?
I've bricked my phone while trying to roll back from Oreo update, then used DC Unlocker to unbrick my phone and return everything to normal (including IMEI, SN...) but I don't have initial phone setup after factory reset (first boot). Do you have any suggestions?

I had been in the same situation as you are to use DC Phoenix to unbrick my phone. If you have successfully boot to nougat (emui 5) then follow these steps;
1. Unlock bootloader,
2. install TWRP
3. Rebrand your device to your original brand
4. install the rollback package by dload method
5. install the OTA updates as received.
Your phone will be back to normal. It worked well for me.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I don't think that you understand the problem that I'm having. I have returned everything back to normal with those same steps that you wrote. The only problem that I have now is the initial setup wizard app. It doesn't start when I factory reset the phone (you know that screen for logging into google account, connecting to wifi, etc...). I was on marshmallow, then I updated to Nougat via official OTA.

Yes i understand your problem, so insiting on rebranding your device to your brand again. Means if your phone originally is FRD-L02C675 (e.g.) then rebrand to that again and then follow dload method. After installing via dload method do factory reset. This will help you solve the problem and you will have normal startup with initial setup.
But I did that already. My device model is c432, and I managed to install russian firmware without rebranding. When I used dc phoenix and then flashed via dload I didnt have to rebrand because my device was slready c432.
Then i am not sure what could be troubling your phone to run the setup wizard. May some other member could help you to resolve this.
Are you able to login to google services?
Yes, Im able to login and use my phone normally

you may have installed the firmware badly, before installing it do a wipe of the data partition from the twrp, restart it in recovery and try to install the firmware again..
Hey amazing people,
I have an urgent issue regarding my moto z xt1650-02, everything working fine until I upgrade to android 8.0 and after one week of upgrade problem started my wifi frequently disconnecting starting I have tried each and every help on the internet such as:
Cach clean
Factory reset
Wifi preference reset
All app preferences reset
Try to unlock the bootloader via Motorola official site but there I got the message that "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".
So time wifi start working and next day the same condition toggling between saved or connecting but no interne, I can see all wifi networks but can't connect?
I hope anyone here resolves this issue to root or at least wifi in working condition?

Tried looking here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/help
I would reflash the firmware
Just don't downgrade, use same version or newer.

As long as you don't downgrade you should be able to flash firmware

Can you please guide me step by step how to "flash firmware"?
My mobile had an update before a month probably an security patch update for Android 10. A week before my mobile just turned off and got stuck in a bootloop and didn't turn on. Now I didn't reset it because I thought I'd try to get my data back. So yesterday I downloaded the OTA and followed a procedure (https://www.samsungsfour.com/tutorials/how-to-manually-install-stock-rom-on-galaxy-m30s.html) from online to flash it on the mobile. Now it's just always on the galaxy m30s logo screen. It doesn't even reboot to the bootloader menu.

The instructions linked are looking good IMO.
Flashing with Odin was successful?
Or was there an error?
Maybe you should check that the downloaded firmware is for your exact device and region. Keep in mind that if you are flashing another CSC (other than Home_CSC), a factory reset is needed.
Maybe you have to flash the firmware again.
A strange thing happened to me:
I received an automatic update yesterday. Everything went normally, everything worked normally.
Later in the store I saw that Google Pay does not allow payment because firmware is Root (it is not) or illegal firmware is installed. And Google Play has shown that the device is not certified.
I tried resetting to factory settings ... without success.
It wasn’t until I installed the older August firmware via Odin that the phone became “legal” again.
This is the firmware INS 20211030.
Has anyone else had such problems?
Edit: it was October Update

As you said this is strange, I did not receive any updates in November. All I got was the October 2021 security patch update.
