I am unlocked, rooted and on JB stock. I updated to JB after having been on .30. I began seeing this after the .30 update.
"Android is updating" message when booting up and it will not go away. It happens every time I restart. I continue on into the unlock screen just fine. What can I do about this? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
You can either
1) Go through your system apps and uninstall updates to any of them one at a time, and then reboot and take a new update from the Play store - one of them is probably the cause, or
2) Perform a factory reset.
I'm betting that one of those updates installed is actually an ICS related update and the system thinks it has to update the app every time it boots b/c of that update being on your tablet. Same kind of thing happened to me on one of the ICS leaks for the BIONIC.

Will try that!! Thanks!
Havent used my OnePlus since October of last year, but had to start using it after dropping my current device.
It was on 5.x.x and I figured "Oh, I'll just update to 6.x.x, no problem." Well, there was a problem. No google play services, so I can't log into my google account. Here's what I did:
1) Factory wipe
2) flashed latest firmware (c7)
3) flashed latest Dirty Unicorns (one of my favorites)
4) flashed DBTO Gapps
5) reboot
Soon as its done starting up, on the welcome screen I see the "google services error" message. Like I said, it's keeping me from logging into anything google. If anyone has a suggestion, please share.
Is it normal that I still haven't gotten the update. I cleared the data and force stopped the Google framework services (I know I should not have done that).
As of now, yes, it's normal that not everybody got it yet. If you're impatient, flash a full OTA from https://developers.google.com/android/ota#sailfish manually.
I got mine through OTA. Originally my phone was NDE63V, and with OTA update it went to NMF26O. I honestly thought I'd keep my build that's why I didn't flash manually, but it ended up going to 'O' build anyways! XD
Will factory resetting my phone remove all updates, and leave me with only the newest update as an option? I rooted to prevent the last update, since I use foxfi.

No it will remove all user data and apps installed after first start. Any pre-installed apps will maintain their updated version.
If you don't want nothing updating turn off auto update apps in play store and then on the phone if you don't want firmware updates, no need to root to prevent updates
I rooted because of the daily reminders to update. Then froze appropriate apps. I think there were three of them.
I did not realize there was a way to turn off the reminders directly, only postpone them.

Everything can be silenced in Android..... everything... (evil laugh)
OK. So that was not true. As soon as i reset my phone it began updating the system. There is no option anywhere to disable the update. I tried using BK Disabler like last time, but that app no longer is available, and its replacement only works with root. I have turned on airplane mode to stop the update, but it is at 97%. Is there an app that works like BK Disabler did, that will allow me to freeze the System update apps.
Please help. I'm hanging in limbo currently.
Not quite sure on your specifics but - I'm in the process of checking the differences between marshmallow and nougat on a snapdragon verizon s7. Downloading the nougat 7.0 update, then factory resetting showed a "installing software update" string on the bootloader (both FR'ing from bootloader and within android) , but when I booted all the way up it might as well have been stock 6.0.1.
Are you at a different point in the update or on a diff kernel?

There was a bug on these at launch that didn't allow Pixel 7's to update these...so when Displax updated his mod, these weren't in effect...
anyone have issues with SafetyNet passing with root after updating these?
I'm back to Pixel after a couple years off and I just want to be sure doing a Google Play system update is not the same as System update/OTA. Or is it? Can I do this update without worrying about losing root or anything? I guess what is the difference between a Google Play system update and a System update?

Passing safetynet according to YASNAC after Play System update
My P7P downloaded 2 files for the Play System update. First 1 downloaded and installed. After the reboot, the update showed another file which I downloaded and updated.
Now shows Oct 1, 2022. Safetynet passes too.

You will not lose root. It is not an OTA, but it certainly feels like it! You will get 2 updates, one is 64Kb big, the next is like 60+Mb! So it feels like it, but it's not. I am able to confirm (after having roirraW "edor" ehT confirm) that you can do these and it will not affect root or safetynet passing.

Google Play System updates are not the same as an OTA/Monthly Security updates. They are part of the "newish" Google System Updates which includes Google Play System updates, Google Play Services updates and Google Play Store updates.
You won't lose root. Here's what is new in it.
What's weird is I just went to check and my rooted p7p says it's a nexus 6p. Is that normal?
Thanks y'all! This is what I thought but wanted to be sure.

It is if you have Displax's SafetyNet Fix mod installed.

My pixel 7 pro is on loop. After install one it wants the next and it keeps repeating. Two times was enough. They need to fix this play store nonsense

I had that. It took 4 or 5 retries before it stuck.
For those who updated, please check your Google Photos app, people on reddit complains that they have their photos duplicated.

nope fine here
that would make little sense why play services would cause photos to duplicate tho

No duplication here either. I updated the Play Services to October yesterday.
Let me ask the question here as I don't want to open a new thread.
I got my phone at 27/10 and ever since I'm being notified that there's a new security update, the size is 72.99MB.
Unfortunately I'm not able to install this and it annoys the hell out of me.
Is it possible that the upgrade fails as I've rooted the phone and I have the displax mode?

If it's a monthly security update (rather than a Google Play System update), then yes, being rooted can make it fail due to the fact it will likely fail the pre-OTA block verifications.
Having said that, some users have reported successfully updating even though rooted.

Thank you for your reply.
Could you please shed some light for me, what's the best way to unroot the phone? I've tried the "Recommended steps" from here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-ota-updates-keep-root-google-pixel-phone/#recommended
Code:
Extracting the boot.img from the zip file
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
But even after this, I still got root and the update wasn't successful

Those directions are incorrect. On the Pixel 7 series, it's the stock init_boot.img that needs to be restored, not the boot.img. You can try to install the update through Magisk's "Install to Inactive Slot" method which a couple of people said worked for them (others said it didn't) even though I didn't think Magisk was restoring the stock init_boot.img so I'm not quite sure how it worked for those people or just restore the stock init_boot.img and try to update again.
Code:
fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img
Also, see this guide for all things Pixel 7, including on how to update each month.
