nope

Were you in the beta program? Try opting out. Ironically, I had to opt out and back in to get my update. I'm on Fi though...

Of course there's the easy way too, just unlock the bootloader and flash with fastboot. You can also, if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, side load the OTA via stock recovery.

Same issue here. I'm dead stock and opted out of the Beta program and can't pull down the September OTA. I guess I'll have to sideload it :/

No Update yet..
I also have got the same issue. On Stock ROM with no Root privileges, No OTA update yet..

I am having the same issue. I even did a full reset a few weeks ago. After the P update, I could barely use my phone, it would take forever to get anything to work. Finally sideloaded yesterday with no issues.

T-mobile June security (NKG47L) update no VoLTE or Wifi-calling

Has anyone flashed the NKG47L June Security update for Tmobile/Fi Carriers to their Pixel? If so, did you lose VoLTE or Wifi Calling or both?
Wifi Calling and VoLTE were working fine on N2G47O and then I flashed the NKG47L OTA to my Pixel, which I am using with T-mobile, and I can no longer make a call without dropping to HSPA, and calls will not be made over wifi anymore.
Because you said you flashed the OTA I'm going to assume you didn't wipe your phone, so I would try doing that first after backing up all your data.
If that doesn't fix it then I would try flashing NJH47B and seeing if that solves it. NJH47B has the same radio and modem images as N2G47O.
Was going to leave a comment to you on reddit but felt like it would do more help here.

thanks for the reply.
I have a Verizon Pixel that I am using on Tmobile, so it wont let me unlock the bootloader to flash another image. I cant flash the OTA for NJH47B because it says its older than my current baseband.
just wondering if anyone else has the same problem so I can know if its my phone or the update.

I'm waiting for the OTA I'd rather not sideload. I'm in the same position as you are, Project Fi, Verizon locked phone. I'll let you know once they push the update.
edit: I just thought that this might be the reason the OTA hasn't gone out yet? Perhaps they are working this out before they push it. Be interesting to see if anyone else that sideloaded has this issue. Can you post the reddit thread for perusal?

I sideloaded the ota and everything works for me. I'm using a play store bought phone though

Works normal for me, on Fi on T-Mo.
I'm on T-Mobile and turned off WiFi calling several months ago because incoming callers didn't hear a ring on their end and would hang up before I could answer. Can anyone verify if this is working on the latest release?

Still waiting for the ota also, patiently
It appears to be fixed in the June update... for me at least. (After data wipe) Everyone used to complain about not hearing a ring when they called me while wifi calling was enabled. They now tell me that it's ringing when they call.
As far as the volte and wifi calling issue I had, a factory wipe fixed it. Sux that I had to do it, but it's working properly now on NKG47L

Okay good news I got the notice for the ota today by going into settings and manually clicking check for system updates. It's there but won't let me download it with my data, says to connect to wifi to download and install. But after June 15th it will let you download with data?
Verizon Pixel XL, but switched to T-Mobile, due to then saying their device was unlocked as well. Still on the May 2017 security patch though. Never received an OTA update for the June security patch. It's now July 4th. Anyone have the same problem? Anyone know how to fix it without having to sideload?
TBG3,
I'm having the same issue. I spoke with Google two days ago and the tech said that they hadn't pushed all of the June security updates out yet. I questioned him on that because it's now July. I asked him why hadn't all of Junes updates been pushed through? No logical answer was given. I'm hoping to receive an update for July.

I was lucky enough to be running the android o beta and unenrolled front the beta and it pushed the TMO June sec patch to my phone. WiFi calling and volte is working fine.

October Patch OTA issue

So I am having the issue posted in my pics. I am not part of beta. I am Verizon on September patch. Never touched my sim since I got device. Bootloader is unlocked but that shouldn't matter. Anyway if someone can help me figure out according to the screenshots why I can't update it would be greatly appreciated.

I got the same problem as well. I'm on Verizon and haven't found a fix.
I've got a Google Play Pixel XL on Verizon, no problem with update. Full stock locked bootloader.

I don't understand how you got the OTA so quick. Even with Google saying last month that doing a check for update manually should now get you OTAs instantly, it's not working on my stock bootloader unlocked XL.
Same here.. got the OTA October Android 8.0 Oreo Security Patch without a hiccup... I also have a locked bootloader as well on Verizon Pixel XL version. Really wish these bootloaders could be unlocked but that's another topic that has been saturated to death... lol.
Damn that sucks for you guys that aren't getting it instantly. Checking for update seems to work for me. But try clearing your Google play services app and then see if it will let you download the update you guys.

No need, hes going to brake GPServices and get bunch of force closes.
The check for updates now works on demand when you press it. This has already been confirmed by bunch of folks, and even myself when i did on my wife's phone.

Google Pixel XL unlocked bootloader and update failing to install. Showing me update size of 50.6 MB.
Will try and patch manually.
I have a Verizon Pixel XL on T-Mobile and i got the October 5th patch yesterday without issue. It took a while for only 64.5mb, but it took it. I did have 1 random reboot this morning though.... BTW, like i said, i took the update with a TMO SIM and still have gray OEM Unlocking
I had the same error. I disabled Block This! and it installed without problems.

Still waiting for my OTA Oct 5 update. I am complete stock, locked bootloader (never unlocked or rooted). Damn Check for update button not working for me.
So I tried flashing the September patch to both slots manually and taking the OTA but it failed still. So I went ahead and manually flashed the October patch.
I am wondering if it has to do with me upping to Unlimited Data plan on Verizon.
I just checked for an OTA update manually and nothing showed up. I'm still on September patch. Google edition, locked bootloader and not rooted.

We're you part of the Beta Program? If so that can be a reason why. You will have to unenroll your device

Go to Google ota and download October. You can flash the ota through twrp. Flash as you would a rom. That's it.

It was enrolled in the beta program. I just checked. I unenrolled it but since I'm already on the stable build it didn't send me an OTA so I won't have to wipe the phone. I'll go check for an update again and see what happens now that I unenrolled the phone.

I didn't think about the beta program - that would sort of make since as to the cause of not getting latest October OTA. Please let us know if you get it now when you do a manual check for update.

Jan security patch OTA

Has anyone seen this yet?
I saw the files were available for manual, but nothing on the OTA front yet.
İf you mean Oreo 8.1 January patch, it is already pushed one week ago. Maybe you can try forcing it by pushing check updates in settings?
Same here, still no update

Surprisingly that's where I've been checking, hence the post.
I havent gotten it either. Boot loader is locked and on stock image
Can manually install the ota. https://developers.google.com/android/ota
I never got it either. I'm locked and stock on VZW. Manually sideloaded with no issues.

I've read articles in the past that say they push them in waves over a couple weeks. My 6p has taken over a month before to get the update.
I had to side load mine I'm stock and nothing showed up

They said in January pressing the check for update would push it to the device.
Those who have a computer (which is all I hope) and ADB set up why bother waiting for the damn OTA! Sideloading FTW!

Nothing here as well
I was prompted to update, and then followed the Magisk instructions to remove and then install the OTA, then put Magisk back on slot 2, but the install of the OTA failed. Any suggestions?
I never received the update either. Dropped off beta program and was able to get the monthly security update. It didn't have to reset my pixel either
Update finally arrived
Restarted my phone today and after the reboot it said finishing update. Never got notified about it. Weird.

Android 9 Pie update

Soooo.....I just bought this phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk.
Today, I got a system update notification saying Android Pie is ready to download.
Anybody else getting this and if so, I have to go back to 100% stock in order to upgrade right? Then unlock BL again?
Mine isn't showing the update yet. I've got the TA-1068. Not unlocked or anything.
It is possible someone jumped the gun, releasing it too early, and they pulled it so can't download it.
Not yet available on my nokia 6.1. I think we are a couple of weeks away from the update.

What security update level of android 8.1 are you on?
Good luck getting 100% back to stock.
I have a TA-1045 and I unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk on the July patch of android 8.1. I get update prompts for the August security update, but the update won't install. I tried completely removing Magisk, but it stills fails with "Installation Failed". I don't think anyone has a stock recovery image (at least for TA-1045) to restore
At this point if you flash twrp/magisk you have no way of restoring to stock and accepting OTA updates. You will be stuck on the update you are on until someone figures out a way to take OTA updates or someone gets a hold of stock firmware images for your device (none yet for TA-1045)

I've was able to get back to stock recovery, system and vendor using the 1043 images and my phone still shows as a 1045. So even if removing magisk, it fails, cause I'm getting the installation failed as well. I'm curious if removing magisk and relocking the bootloader will help?

Nope - don't think its Chinse - it appears to be a "global" or international version. I don't really notice a difference from my original stock.
I got it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-to-flash-global-firmware-pl2-222e-0-t3831764
And was able to flash the "extracted version" with fastboot. I used some fastboot instructions that I found for a chinese rom and changed the filenames to match the worldwide filenames and it worked without the OST tool

You should have pulled the OTA link from a logcat so the rest of us can download the update files and upgrade ourselves :/
I guess this OTA is a fake. No one with a Nokia 6.1 has reported getting an Android Pie notification. It's super rare that just one single person will get it.

This. Unless OP is an insider and just dun goof'd, then I fail to see this as legit.
Slightly off-topic:
I was on the June security patch on my 6.1 until yesterday. I received an OTA notification while half asleep and got all excited thinking it was the Pie update, but no, it was the July security patch. What's interesting is that immediately after installing I received the notification for the August security patch, and promptly installed that. May just be me being lucky, but that almost imples that HMD are trying to push out the latest security updates to devices as a way of preparing for Pie maybe?

How to check if my Pixel 2 XL can receive OTA updates anymore?

Hi, my Pixel 2 XL used to get unlocked, TWRP installed, some system files modified via TWRP. But now I flashed stock rom by running flash-all on Google platform tool and then relocked bootloader. It works absolutely fine now but I wonder if my device can receive OTA update anymore. Is there anyone know or any way I can check it?

Wait until next month's OTA.
If you're completely stock, which you should be since you were able to relock bootloader without having a brick for a phone, then you'll get next month's OTA.

My phone is currently in June update. It's now nearly the end of July and I still do not get July OTA update. Does this mean something like I cannot receive OTA anymore?

You can still adb sideload the July OTA with a locked bootloader, personally I'd unlock it and just update with twrp.
