No OTA update for Android P beta on Pixel 2XL - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I have been on beta build since it came out but since then I have not received any OTA updates to further versions. Even when I check manually it says software is up to date.. any idea what is causing this? How can I get an OTA update to recent builds? Please help

You can sideload the OTAs. This is a link to the Preview 4 OTA. Don't know how it will play out if you didn't apply the previous ones though.

Thanks.. I'll give sideloading a try but only issue is that I'll lose the data in that case..

Not from side loading itself. Don't know how that will at out though based on what build you are on.

Update Google Play Services first to the latest version. You can get it from apkmirror.
I only recently got the same phone & beta. I updated GPS first before subscribing to the beta & I got it straight away.

Is there a way to force updates?

Just wondered if there was a way in which I could force an update? I've had to revert back to stock firmware and am currently on 2.3.1. Ive tried the CHECKIN method but nothing happened. Any suggestions guys?
you can manually push the update through recovery located here:

Nope..
Do look for the thread titled '2.3.3 link' though. It's rather easy to apply it manually.

Thanks guys
I have done that method before but I think it screwed up my mms hence I would rather receive it OTA just incase. Are they still pushing out the 2.3.2 update for us that are yet to receive 2.3.3?

Probably not. They would probably send you the version that goes from whatever you're on to 2.3.3 since the Android 2.3.3 URL thread has like three different versions.
The alternative is to flash a custom ROM such as CM7, Axura, GingerS, MoDaCo which features 2.3.3 (unsure about GingerS)
I still don't get the 2.3.3 OTA either. Since I had some problem when I was using N1 and tried to update it manually, I decide to wait for OTA in my NS. I am curious why it can take so long time to push out an OTA?
Two reasons: network strain and damage control in the event of Problems.
I'm waiting for the OTA to come through to my other halves new NS which we got yesterday to update from 2.3.1 to either 2.3.2 or better still 2.3.3 but, guess it ain't happening any time soon :-(

Force update in post #2 that I linked. This is the same file you would get from the OTA. All the OTA does is bring a dialog box saying its available for you and it goes to that link. The link was achieved using aLogCat. It's directly from *.google.com

how to force update
Picked up my NS on saturday (so it should be running 2.3.1 right?) Anyway when I go into settings-about phone-system update it says i have latest version. I am fairly confident this is not so. So how do I force update to my NS?

Search for the thread titled '2.3.3 link' and do it manually or wait until you get it pushed down to you. There it's no way to force it OTA (over-the-air)

Go to development and use the 2.3.3 restore with root. Real easy

Freeze or uninstall SDM and reboot. That's what I did, saw some other post here saying the same thing.
Really? Custom romantic and recovery and you got an ota? I'm running beans 11 and nothing was pushed to my phone

I'm running rooted stock and it's forcing me as well. I thought it was disabled on all the root roms even stock ones? Not sure how to stop it other than keep defering it.
OTA
I just accepted the OTA, restored to factory defaults, one step rooted it, got rom manager from the play store, booted into clockwork and then reapplied my rom. No biggie.

Just because it worked ok on yours doesn't mean it will on everyone's. Good way to brick your device...

Probably not, they don't like to fix actual problems. They prefer to make minor tweaks and such to their bloat instead. You didn't want your device to actually work as advertised did you?
what's the baseband version after ota?

What's up crew?
After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

The phone wipe hack was fixed months ago on the S3. I took the OTA then unlocked (casual) and unlocked boot loader (EZ Unlock). No problems no issues. Slammed Beans 12 non-kexec back on it and I really don't see any difference.... World didn't end Phone police didn't knock my door down.... Nothing....

That could be it. I got the server URL for the guy that did the S7 one by just going into /data/data/com.ws.dm (the data folder for our system update app, you'll have to find the package name of yours) and looking through all the files. From there it seems he looked at the desc.bin that it downloads to get the URL of the actual update package, but I don't know what he did after that to find the other files.
I believe this is an alternative possibility of getting the same result. Also it IS possible. Atnt got their software early by using this exact same method.

Tried it again and this is what I get. I can't view the url just a pop up "the latest updates have already been installed"

Yes I got that. Didn't mean it as you probably read my remark. I go to the oldest firmware as Odin doesn't let me flash any newer versions, I believe it's 4AP.... and when I do it from there it only updates me to APK1..... I just try and go back every so often to see ifor it'll work. Thought I'd repost my results thinking it be OK but I won't any more. Doesn't seem like anyone has been able to get this to work either. If some one has it would be nice to know if they were able to. I'll just wait for the update to go out from Samsung when they decide to release it.

Official Pie beta ota files for Factory Unlocked variant SM-G965U1

Official beta build was pulled directly from the phone that downloaded the OTA update. These are not the leaked builds like before but rather official beta ota builds pushed by Samsung.
This post will be updated a soon as new official builds will be available.
Beta 1/ZRK9:
This OTA file can be flashed directly from recovery but user needs to be on specific build. In this case user must be on Latest Oreo Firmware ARJ2
ARJ2 to ZRK9: https://mega.nz/#!5jxj2ALT!FdMxcXb6xtA63WDmsPktphHnrJFVjll8gEd-h4jGrMU​
Beta 2/ZRKJ:
This OTA file can be flashed directly from recovery but user needs to be on specific build. In this case user must be on Beta 1 (ZRK9)
ZRK9 to ZRKJ: https://mega.nz/#!Y7Q3xKJB!G8o_Wwj-cdUvPlrJNsX9JCpQgkPa3otBJ_yg9YSq27A​
Hotfix1(ZRKJ-to-ZRKP)/ZRKP:
This OTA file can be flashed directly from recovery but user needs to be on specific build. In this case user must be on Beta 2 (ZRKJ)
ZRKJ to ZRKP: https://mega.nz/#!Mu4xVYqI!wdMBsL5iwKjsMkFoMdtyy1sNwlDEJkfVTes-qYQqFdg​
Beta 3/ZRL5:
This OTA file can be flashed directly from recovery but user needs to be on specific build. In this case user must be on Hotfix 1 (ZRKP)
ZRKP to ZRL5: https://mega.nz/#!o3A3AS6Z!pOr4BS9ViujK3ToyuD0WW-k9Dkw9XC_X7kkwc0-Xi1s​
Beta 4/ZRLG:
This OTA file can be flashed directly from recovery but user needs to be on specific build. In this case user must be on Beta 3 (ZRL5)
ZRL5 to ZRLG: https://mega.nz/#!guYTRSwZ!oSUDSXx1Zl58RcMdxrYu2J9pAE8tmyMHab06xPDvNXM​
Note: All the future builds will be incremental and can only be flashed from specific pie build to another. For example Beta 2 will be flashable from Beta 1. Users wont have to plash back to Oreo and than flash next pie builds like when leaked builds were available.
This is how updates are going to be:
ARJ2--> Beta 1 (ZRK9) --> Beta 2 --> Beta 3 --> Beta 4 .........................................
Please let me know if anyone runs into any issue while flashing the firmwares. I have already tested the files with few other folks and everything works fine, there is no issue while flashing them.
You are the best, I'm on this build, downloading right now. Thanks:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Probably the former, since you need to register in Samsung+ app to get updates as they get pushed out by Samsung.
Hopefully this thread will be updated once every new firmware pushes, since my Samsung + app(beta) never allowed me to register, it just won't even if i press register button for thousand times.
