First off I want to preempt by saying I have searched for answers to the best of my abilities and haven't found a solution that has worked. However I might have missed one. I will attempt to be as thorough as i can here.
I have a rooted unlocked pixel 2xl, Magisk no twrp. I have attempted to sideload the Ota but it fails before it gets off the ground. I get a verification error and the Ota fails to load.
Dumb question #1) do i need to unroot to sideload the ota with the setup I have.?I thought unrooting was only necessary with partitioned recovery like TWRP.
I have the latest tools, the latest OTA for my model phone, a hope a prayer, but little else.

Let me start with, you're in the wrong section, with the wrong phone for the section. Actually, I'm starting and ending with that. I wish you luck though.
See and that's why your senior member thanks

- fastboot flash stock boot.img (current running version, inside factory image.zip)
- boot to stock recovery and sideload the OTA.zip
after that you need boot/flash twrp and root the phone if you want to have root again.
Yeah I was hoping to avoid all that as I would need to free my tether as well. Allot of steps for an update, but it's looking like I might not have a choice.

u prolly were answered already but if ur unlocked u should be updating through fastboot..
o and this is a dev section plus not the xl forum lol
Yeah I was informed. I'm not sure how I wandered my way here but you know mistakes and all that. I'll be more careful next time. I figured a mod would have struck me down by now.
Thanks

If you're using xda labs, first running after install on my pixel 2, the app automatically took me to the pixel 2 xl forums when I clicked my device. Honest mistake. Don't let these ethugs bother ya. Did you get your xl fixed?

Your better off flashing factory images via fastboot

Hi all,
I posted this in the S3 specific forum but not getting a lot of traction there. Just picked up a refurbished AT&T Galaxy S3 (i747) and it appears to have the T-Mobile (T999) bootloader for some reason.
Here's what I've found model and version-wise...
System settings - About device:
Model number SGH-I747
Android version 4.1.2 (stock Touchwiz)
Build number I747ZSEMC1
Info app from Play store:
Boot loader version T999UVDMD5
Finger print samsung/d2vl/d2can:4.1.1/JRO03l/I747ZSEMC:user/release-keys
Product d2vl
Model SGH-I747
Download Mode shows T999 bootloader.
Putting a T-Mobile sim in registers on the network and for some reason I get H+, which I didn't think was possible with the I747 AT&T model. Don't have an AT&T sim to test with at the moment.
I've tried flashing the I747 4.1.2 bootloader but I get different error messages depending on which recovery I use to flash it.
Stock recovery:
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Clockworkmod:
E:Error in (file path and name)
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
TWRP:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip (file path and name)
Updating partition details...
Failed
I've also tried using the Cyanogenmod installer under Windows and it says that it installed successfully but Touchwiz is still there. I noticed a red triangle during the process as well so I suspected it wasn't working.
My primary concern right now is how can I fix this bootloader issue so I can get a more recent rom on it? Any suggestions?
Anyone have any ideas at all? I've tried flashing a number of bootloaders in Odin and continue to get errors like "FAIL! (Auth)" and "SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot." I can't flash anything in recovery it seems.
I can still get into stock Touchwiz and CWM recovery and Download Mode, but I can't seem to get ANYTHING to flash properly on this device.
Edit: It seems to always fail on aboot.mbn, which I'm reading can be caused by a locked bootloader. Anything I can do about that?
I was able to flash AOKP 4.4, I'm assuming because it didn't mess with the bootloader any. Baseband version is still showing as T999UVDMD5. If I try to flash something like Cyanogenmod I get a bootloader error and it fails.
Everything in build.prop shows SGH-I747 and d2att as the device model. I don't understand why it has a T-Mobile bootloader. Anyone know how to fix this?
I have the exact opposite problem. It's an SGH-T999 that ids itself as an i747 in download mode. I can flash some things with Odin, but not full ROM tars ... I did flash Philz recovery and use it to flash other roms as zips ... but having trouble doing other things with it. And since I lost the IMEI and need it to talk over RMNET to fix that ... I think it's this i747 firmware that's messing me up.
I wouldn't even worry about it now that AOKP 4.4.2 flashed okay, but the camera doesn't work and I can't seem to find a working solution. One thing after another...
Hi, i have some kind of problem with my nexus 7 2013.. I already have lollipop 5.1.1 official on my tablet and have root and unlocked bootloader (root with king root, yes it works and is rooted.. And bootloader unlocked with boot unlocker.. I know you might think that this are not the best way of rooting or unloking the bootloader but it worked for me and im happy) and since yesterday the tablet keeps telling me to update via OTA the 5.1.1 update witch i already have..i press update to install it as normal, it reboot as normal too and when it shows me the parte where it suppose to be installing the update (you know, with the android with the chest open part) the only thing that says is "error" it doesn't install anything..i did this like 3 times now and every one of them says error.. The annoying part is that it keeps showing me the notification to update it..so any solutions? Thanks!
Sorry for bad english blah blah...
You can't take ota updates if you modify system files, you did that with root. Don't know why it's showing you 5.1.1 when you already have it.
Just flash the factory image with fastboot (probably no need to wipe, just flash boot.img and system.img and format cache).
That should fix the problem. It will also remove root. I'd recommend not using that king root **** but whatever. Probably better to just flash the su zip in twrp or use CF-Auto-Root.
When the next update comes remember you won't be able to take the ota. But that doesn't matter since google posts factory images and all you need to do is flash it with fastboot, then root again.

Hi all, its been a while since i posted but i am royally stuck, using various threads and guides i got my m8 vodafone uk back to stock, everything as it should be.
however i am seeing 3 very small OTA updates pending, the trouble is i cant for the life of me get them to download, each time i try i get an error saying "Download failed" "An error occurred while downloading the software updates."
all three of the updates info say that they are to prepare my device for the upcoming marshmallow update
any help would be greatly appreciated
Bump. This is happening to me too and I can't find any information on it. I just un rooted my phone and can't apply the update
Hello,
my Pixel XL came from T-Mobile Germany.
I am in TWRP alpha2 and SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4.
My Pixel XL is on NDE63H.
I logged the OTA download process used the link in there and got now the 68MB small OTA.zip.
Can I use TWRP and this small update OTA to update to NDE63U,
or do I need to use the large 850MB OTA file from the google develope site to do so -> marlin-ota-nde63u-56d5b07a.zip?
I think I will loose root by using the large one, but will I loose TWRP as well?
My preference would be to use the small one, but will it work via TWRP and will I loose root as well or will this only update the necessary files?
Any help is highly appreciated.

I haven't tried it on the pixel, but on my previous Nexus device (N6), the small OTA would fail if the devices was rooted or had any changes to the system partition - that's because the small OTA was an incremental update, and was checking to see if the system partition was modified in any way before applying the OTA.
The full OTA would work - but you would lose the root/TWRP. Reinstalling TWRP is just a fastboot command away, so why is that a big deal?
Hello jj14,
I tried it.
First within TWRP and then by sideload and both failed with the same error.
I first needed to get a newer version of adb, but it failed as said above as well via sideload.
See error message here in the attached picture.
Any hint?
As far as that error, it means the binary update files are missing. That could be because the structure of OTA's changed. Without seeing the OTA I cannot say for sure. I would post that screenshot in the twrp thread and ask @Dees_Troy what he thinks.
Hello Scott,
thanks for your answer.
I wrote Dess a message.
Attached 2 screenshots which show what is in the zip from the OTA file and one for the comparison to a Nexus 10 zip,
you see that the update-binary is missing, so Goggle has changed things here as you postulated.
Thanks,
mancman
I assume you are trying to sideload the full OTA file. If so, what error did you get using the ADB sideload? (yes, you will need the newest version of ADB - download from the Google developers site). TWRP is still very new, so there may still be some bugs to address - Dees is pretty good about quick updates/fixes though.
I may be wrong here but shouldn't you flash back stock recovery before applying stock ota ??
Greetings.
Let's say I accidentally DL'd the OTA from the OEM update screen. Where in my file system might I find the file? I read that it may expire and vanish. It's that true? Kind of afraid to reboot right now. Thanks in advance.
Pixel 2xl, rooted, Magisk, OEM 10, Aug. rev.
Even if the OTA did expire and vanish, and I have never heard that happening, Google makes full OTA images available at https://developers.google.com/android/ota in the Taimen section. As to where they are located, likely in the /data partition, but I have absolutely no clue where exactly they are.
I would simply reboot, as the system has most likely already applied the OTA and simply needs to finish completing the update.
So I had to reboot, now I lost root. Is there an easy way to get it back or do I have to wipe?? Thanks.
Boot - NOT install - TWRP using fastboot on the bootloader screen and flash a copy of Magisk you should have stored on your unit.
If you need detailed instructions we have a rooting guide on the forum that should help. Just make sure not to install TWRP or the unit will end up bootlooping, requiring you to flash the full firmware to fix it.
