Can you block the Pie update? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
I have some apps that I am using that are not compatible with Pie yet and I do not want to update.
How can i make sure I don't update until i'm ready?
Thanks.

well, beyond simply not installing the update, go to developer options and turn off 'Automatic system updates'.

just wondering, is it possible to return to oreo v8.1 after updating to pie v9? Or is that not an option after installing the update? I don't want to get stuck on v9 if I have apps that don't work with that version yet... Thanks

You can if your fully bootloader unlocked, and do a clean fastboot installation of 8.1. And yes, your phone will need to be wiped :good:

[Q] I received the D851 10m OTA today. Some questions.

I have rooted, and I have xposed installed.
What is the upgrade procedure? Do I need to go so far as to remove root? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have T-mobile LG G3 and I also received 154 MB update this morning. My device was rooted with Xposed installed. After the updated, i lost my ROOT access, everything else remains the same. Hope this helps.

Another question, I found the ota.zip should I make flashable/rooted version? As far as I have looked, no one else has done it yet

Got this just now...but don't wanna lose root. The notification is annoying as hell. I would flash and update if it won't bork everything but I'd settle for just getting rid of the notification. Anybody know how to get rid of it??
Everything I do or have is custom.... Period.

When I long press, I see "App Info" and when I press it, it shows Google Play Services.
When it is disabled, does the update go away, or is it still on my G3 waiting to be installed?
Anyone know how this happened? I'm rooted, with custom everything, and I have OTA updates disabled!
I'm doing a TWERP backup anyway.
Anyone that has installed the update - did you get root back?

Hello everyone,
after flashed Android N, I've tested twrp 3.0.0 and supersu 2.68. If you change the vendor, putting one of MMB29V version, it will be the decrypting data, but when it flash a supersu, the installation is successful, but when you restart the phone, the system is not rootato. How I can fix this issue? Thanks a lot

I also have a problem after flashing Android n the root access and
Twrp is gone please tell how to install it again
Same issue here...I dont think it is possible, easily anyway. If you notice after it boots back into TWRP your internal storage is displayed as empty. All storage is. It says the installation is succeessful, but I think after it pushed the root files to ypur phone and rebooted to flash them, it could not as the files were no longer there......I don't know though.....Good luck!!

Regarding Root I have used phh's modified boot image from somewhere in XDA the link of which I forgot and fastboot flashed. With that I have installed phh superuser from Google play store and root works. However, some apps doesn't approve the SuperSU and busybox doesn't get installed. Meantime, there are multiple boot images for rooting N. If interested you can try the images one by one and post your results here

You won't be able to apply it while rooted. The upgrade will fail.
You can disable the app Motorola Updates with Titanium Backup to stop the annoying update screen all the time.

You are in doo doo land if you are rooted, use twrp and never backed up your virgin ROM.
There is a post, not long ago, in the Nougat Update thread showing all the fundamental steps.

Here's the firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/
I would say you're safe to flash a us firmware but only flash the 10 sparsechunks,recovery , boot img and OEM IMG if you flash and modem file or any other file you'll end up losing your IMEI.
But you're always taking a chance.

[Help] Android 8.1 OTA Sideload - Settings Keep Crashing

Hi,
I just sideloaded 8.1 (coming from 8.0). Things went smoothly and in the recovery mode, my phone is now listed as 8.1.
My problem is that whenever I try to go on settings now, it always crashes. I did attempt to redownload the OTA and sideload it again, but that still didn't help. I'm not sure what I did wrong...
Solved: Never mind I was an idiot. Forgot that I had substranum theme on, and it didn't play well with 8.1
Why you not try to flash. all bat with remove - w.

No. Miui doesn't let you downgrade to lower version via system updater. It will give error.
