Cannot flash official 8.1 OTA over 8.1 DP2 - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I am on 8.1 DP2 which is OPP6.171019.012, tried to install the official 8.1 OTA which is OPM1.171019.011 : obviously the latter is older that DP2, so now I am still on DP2.
Maybe I need to wait for the OTA for those that are on beta program?

Yes, you'll either have to wait for the official OTA for beta users or use the factory images to my knowledge. You can use the factory images and just remove the wipe command ( -w ) from the flashall.bat file to keep your data

I can confirm this, I have updated this way.

anyone has the OTA for those on DP2?

Curiosity, how can the final version be older than a beta? I've seen this posted a few times now, how can/does this happen?

But after flashing the final, we're still enrolled to the beta. How to cancel the enroll without erase data ?

I'm assuming you already had an unlocked bootloader?

It isn't, but they probably put an unreasonable date stamp in on purpose to avoid any potential issues in the flashing process.

So those on DP2 with unlocked bootloader when/how will be able to update to official/final 8.1?

Usually an OTA is made to go from one specific build to another. Which would make sense on why you can't do it that way. If you have the unlocked bootloader flashing the factory image for 8.1 can be done.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can update now with the factory image. Otherwise wait until the OTA rolls or for beta users.

I just got the small ota to bump me from DP2 to final. So it's in the wild now. You can probably force the update at this point.

Like he said, I just got the official OTA bump yesterday to final. If you can't force it, it should come soon regardless.. This shows the December 5th patch.

Flashfire doesn't fully support Oreo yet so that's a no go, same with TWRP. ADB sideload might work.
I just flashed it this morning and had no problems.
I flashed a couple of hours ago official OTA package via ADB. No problems till now.
I took the plunge and flashed the 8.0 stock factory image the done a factory reset after to make sure and it been great ever since turned off animation and it's nippy just wish battery was about better but I'll give it a few days see if that goes

Does anyone know why the battery drains so fast on Oreo even after fresh clean install
Yes, Pro v0.60. I also maintained root and twrp. I had supersu 2.82-sr3 installed at the time so make sure you have that.

Enable dev options and disable always keep mobile data on.
I just noticed that for some reason that is checked in oreo and it shouldn't be unless you are never on WIFI.

It is true that the OTA is out there. I confirm it because I signed-up to beta program to get the update and two days later I opted out to see if this is the latest official OTA ROM and I didn't get the update. So if you don't want to wait you can do the same it's safe. You can check the latest OTA here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
The version is the same I have. 8.0.0 OPR6.170623.013.
I can confirm that jd1639's method works for people rooted with TWRP.
- download OTA (https://developers.google.com/android/ota)
- run Flashfire 60.0 (free version is OK)
- when asked "A system update has been detected", cancel
- Flash ZIP or OTA
- uncheck "restore boot and recovery images"
- press "EverRoot" and select "Inject SuperSU" and "Preserve recovery"
- Flash
- wait patiently
I tried flashing the modem FW using "Flash firmware package" on the OTA zip file. It rebooted and the screen went black for many minutes. I had to hard reset.
Can anyone confirm the 8.0 baseband? I have M8994F-2.6.39.3.03. I know that's the baseband for the 8.0 developer preview, but I wanted to make sure it was the final.

Probably a stupid question, but this OTA file- since it's ~1gb-, does it wipe the device like the full image?

No. There is no such problem.You can do it with any of the two ways if you didnt get the OTA until now. 1) Sign-up for the beta program install the update and then opt-out of it. 2) Flash the OTA files from Google to your phone. Or 3) But these are rumors and I can't be sure: An update will come at 11 of September with new Version of Oreo 8.0.1 with better support for Carriers (it is 8.0.0).

What's the correct way to upgrade to O?

So I am a little late to the upgrade party. I have tried reading through the posts but quickly became confused. Here is what I have...
Google Store Pixel XL rooted unlocked bootloader running 7.1.2 on Sprint.
What is the easiest way to upgrade to O? Also can I upgrade without loosing everything I have right now?
Thanks for the help.

I flashed factory image from Google page: https://developers.google.com/android/images
That page also has basic instructions on how to perform the upgrade in this fashion. Alternatively, you can sideload the OTA - which is how I did all my monthly and version upgrades on Nougat. But, I figured I would start "clean" with a factory image flash for the upgrade to Oreo. I did remove the "-w" from the flashall.bat to retain data. Once the upgrade completes, you just need to reflash SuperSu and suhide and you should be good to go. The entire process took me less than 45 minutes. Detailed guides for all you need can be easily found on XDA. One important note: make sure you have the most recent version of platform tools prior to attempting the upgrade. That caused me a bit of trouble with this most recent upgrade - but was easily resolved by upgrading to the latest and greatest platform tools. (Also found on the Google site.) Good luck.

No - only if you want to keep passing SafetyNet - which affects AP, Netflix, ADT Security App, and others....but if you don't need to hide root and mask unlocked bootloader, SuperSu alone should be fine.
edit, wrong tab
Start fresh man. Take backup, flash the factory image with wipe, then restore the backup.
I went ahead and took the OTA that hit my phone. Flashed SuperUser the Suhide. All is good in the hood.

If phone is rooted, OTA works?
I thought if phone is rooted, updates needed to be done manually (i.e., flash). Is this not correct?

The OP stated he was rooted, then said he took OTA.

I was rooted... I took the OTA and then re-rooted.

OK. Going from 7 to 8 did you do a full wipe? Since you were rooted probably would have been easier to flash factory image rather than unroot just to take OTA.
I didn't do anything but take the OTA. When that was finished everything was still on my phone. I then flashed twrp and flashed supersu and Suhide. All has been good so far.

Cannot update to Oreo

I cannot update to Oreo on my Sprint variant. I was rooted with TWRP but did the flash all back to stock. I am unrooted, stock recovery, with unlocked bootloader. I have tried through update.zip, sideload, and the normal way through the settings and they all fail. I successfully updated the normal way with the last 2 updates that were released, but no luck with this one.

It's like the system and recovery don't have access to the storage at all.
Which flash all did you use? mine updated just fine with that file doing adb sideload file/name/here when selecting the option for update via adb. How long did it take before the error. It takes awhile for the update to go through. (roughly the same time or longer than updating in android. my time was about 12mins.

It got to 47% then started to flash and then the error that's for the sideload. As for the update.zip and applying it, it fails instantly.

So, you flashall and then it doesn't take Oreo but all others? Sounds like something is really messed up on your device then. Did you flash a modified logo bin?

That isn't one of the flash all's in the thread. You need to run the bat file. Depending on the one you use you should go to the August or September security patch.

Which version of the bootloader? If the Oreo bootloader then perhaps this will result in an error.
If you installed Oreo Global or TMO after that, the bootloader will be upgraded to Oreo, perhaps this will lead to an error.
So I did the flashall, updated all the way through and it worked. It was the same flash all I did before because I already had it downloaded. Thanks for helping, sucks I had to wipe, but it is what it is.

Pixel 2 XL Verizon anyway to sideload Andoid P

is there anyway to Sideload Android P Preview on a lock Verizon Pixel 2 Xl ? I can get it to work getting errors like E:footer is wrong e:error 21 E:signatire verification failed
Thanks
https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
Go to your recovery and flash it through adb sideload
I tried to flash it the ADB Sideload update.zip and it get to 0% and fails
You may have to enroll in Beta first in order for P to work.
There is no Beta Yet For Android P

After doing some research, you have to be bootloader unlocked to flash the Android P firmware.
This is a developer preview. Next version will be Beta and then there will be an ota method.
update your adb and fastboot.
and get the OTA from here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html
Remember if you go P on Verizon you can't go back because of the locked bootloader.
Is this still accurate? To sideload the OTA preview , any downside other than the locked bootloader?

Yep, P is technically older than what you have so it won't OTA. A new P is due any day now.

Nothing via OTA update
Only images are available
Just get it on OTA via US IP (vpn), but update dont star
Im rooted, is't interfering??
These wouldn't allow a user to downgrade, correct? Like, to 7.1.0, use dePixel8, and then root?
Can the updates be installed out of sequence? I'm currently on the Oreo March update, can I install the May update without installing April first?

if you're rooted, then the ota won't apply via the google system update. your rom has to be completely stock in order for it to work. your bootloader can be unlocked. i don't know about flashing the ota via twrp. i've never done it.

correct, they will not allow a user to downgrade. there isn't a downgrade method available for locked bootloaders.

if you flash the full factory image, yes, you can flash the may update over the march update. i don't know about the otas though. i always flash the full factory image.
Does anyone know if I can flash the OTA on my nonrooted Pixel XL through TWRP ?
