Anyone get the final official build of Android Q? Today, supposedly, is the day for the update to begin rolling out. Post here with your results!
Status: Running 10 now!
It's too early, its 7:40am in California now, I wouldn't expect it before 5pm...
If the update is released today, it is typically done between 9am and noon Pacific Time... I usually get it around 11am Central Time. That said, this is the "Monday" after a holiday in the US, so it could potentially be later in the day.
We will usually see the factory images appear first, and OTA updates available anywhere from a few minutes to as much as a few days later...
I take all this news of the update coming today with a grain of salt. Keep an eye on the Android Developer blog for more information: https://android-developers.googleblog.com

I realize that it's early in the day, I was just being preemptive ??
Full and ota images are posted on Android developers site, so ota should be there pretty soon...
Android images are available now, expect OTA's to happen soon... The full release announcement is available at https://android-developers.googleblog.com/
Have fun mashing the Check Update button.
EDIT: Oops, looks like @calinorg beat me to the punch on this one.
There are two Android 10 OTA files for the Pixel 3A XL. One ends in 19 and the other 20. How do you determine which one to download? Does it matter?

As there is only one hardware platform, you would want to use the latest one, in this case 20... Remember to use the OTA image though and not the "factory" one. The factory one will wipe your device clean, the OTA image will not.
OTA images are available here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Make sure you understand how they are installed using 'adb sideload' method.
FYI... If you chose to update via the OTA file using 'adb sideload' the first boot takes about 10 minutes. Don't panic and just let it do it's thing. Even once it's "up and working" it still takes a while, be patient. Several other things will be updated as well, like Play Store libraries. I also had several app updates available after the upgrade.
Whole process start to finish after downloading the OTA zip file was about 20 minutes.

Thanks again acejavelin for all the info. I have been flashing the OTA security updates for some time now. I'd rather sideload then have to wait for OTA. I noticed two files sometimes in the past with my Nexus phones. All the monthly security patches for the pixel 3a xl so far have just one download file. I was just wondering why Google would upload two?

I don't know... But the 20 image worked perfectly for me.
Downloading it now, 1.18 GB, was previously on Pie.

Just got the notification and downloading now!
OTA from Beta 6 is only 40.7MB. Guess there weren't many changes from the beta.
Anyone get the live caption feature working? I'm trying to figure out how to get it working
Do we have to be on the Magisk Canary channel to patch the boot.img file to retain root or is the Stable Channel good for Android 10?
Thanks
Pretty sure TWRP still isnt working on Android 10 so patched boot is the way to go. I suppose you could try sideloading magisk zip as well but I just used the patched boot option and it worked perfectly.

I thought I was the only one, I didn't get the OTA yet either, I'm still waiting even though it's supposed to be out and Verizon normally has it ready to download immediately when they say it's ready on their software update page.
I haven't heard anyone on Verizon getting an OTA yet, which is odd like you implied. I wonder what they're holding off for. It also didn't mention the Android version bump in their notes.
Well that helps, I have a play store phone but Verizon service and I haven't been able to get OTA yet even when I tell it to go look. I guess I will have to wait until Verizon gets going on this. Taking the sim card out and rebooting does not help.

Link for what? Sorry I'm confused lol.
Link for the OTA. I sideloaded the E build, but wouldn't mind putting on the K build
Any time there is an update I just grab it from https://developers.google.com/android/images. I haven't tried flashing the OTA from the page since I usually grab the full factory image (I don't mind starting over lol). I am on Verizon and my build number after I flash the factory image is N2G47E. There are no Verizon apps on the images , but during set up it will prompt to download all that Verizon crap-ware, which you can cancel or uninstall.
As of last night, Verizon has released the K build, which is not up on the developer site. Must be something in there that is better than the E build on their network. Just an FYI.

I did the same thing earlier this week. Just checked for updates and nothing. Hope I am not hosed lol.
I ended up with the Verizon version OTA last night (non rooted, google play phone on Verizon service). I did not notice any Verizon-ware installed on the phone, at least not yet. Seems pretty flawless so far.

I would be concerned with the Verizon firmware locking the bootloader on Google Play store Pixels
I don't think that's how it works.
After the frustration it took for me to get stock 7.1.2 on my PXL, I'll wait to see how people like the K build before I consider going back to 7.1.1 so I can be recognized and offered the OTA.
No one has the OTA file yet? Assume that I can't to back to 7.1.1 to get this OTA? I sideloaded the E build earlier this week.

There's always loading the 7.1.1 factory image back, but you can only do that when unlocked. I just hope this is a one-off, because over time it might become 'a thing' if people who sideloaded are on a different release track as others'. It would be nice to know if this is just 7.1.2 with VZW branding, or if it gives better performance on Verizon's network, but evidently we're too dumb to understand exactly what's different between stock 7.1.2 and their version.
It seems to bounce back and forth, sometimes there is a Verizon specific firmware sometimes there isn't, but it would be nice to know before side loading how many branches of the firmware there will be.

I am not unlocked so I have no option of doing that. I had no clue there would be a Verizon specific build or what I have not sideloaded earlier this week. Guess I have to learn patience LOL.
I have a quick question for those that are a lot smarter than I.
Still nothing for me on the 8.1.0 OTA December update. I have an unlocked Pixel 2 XL and an unlocked OG Pixel XL. I was running the Beta on my OG Pixel and I unenrolled from the Beta and factory reset. Waited 24 hours for a stable version of Android Oreo.... still nothing and it is still showing that I'm on 8.1.0 with the November security patch. Also, when I reset my phone or power back on it's still showing that my phone is on the Beta. I have no idea what's going on with it.
Would any of you guys/gals have any other suggestions? I'm not comfortable with flashing or anything like that since I've never done it before. Should I just wait patiently because it will come eventually?
Thanks.

I got my Dec 5th patch update last night, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time for you.. If you're not comfortable flashing, than I would say just wait it out. It shouldn't be long.
What the poster above me said, just wait you will eventually get it. They roll it out in stages so they don't overload the servers. We all like instant gratification, which is why a lot of people flash it when it is released, but you will get it.

When you unenroll, it will send you an OTA. Did you get that OTA? You mentioned you factory reset, but that's not what actually takes you off of the beta.

No, I did not get an OTA. I've checked on the site and it says that my device is no longer enrolled, however when I restart my phone (from a powered off standpoint) it still says I'm enrolled in the Beta. I check for an update and it says I'm up to date, yet it's running 8.1.0 with the November 5th security patch.
Sorry for so many questions, but I just thought I might be missing something. It's really not that big a deal to me because I know it will come eventually, but I just wondered why it was doing that. I reached out to Google via the chat and they said wait 24 hours for a stable version however it's been well over 24 hours and still nothing. I've unenrolled the device from previous beta's and have never had to wait. The OTA would immediately show up and I was good to go.
Is it safe to take the actual ota while rooted/TWRP/custom kernel? Will it just replace the boot partition or will it fail? I'm thinking I should do a flash all with the -w removed of the 8.1 instead of letting it go the ota. I just got the notification for it.

Well, I had mentioned in the original post that I'm not extremely comfortable doing that so I may just wait it out.
I have a question in regards to getting the OTA updates.
I'm in Australia and got my pixel 2 xl on a plan with Telstra as they are the exclusive carrier here. But I use a Vodafone sim in the phone.
Will this cause me to not get the OTA updates?
Maybe this was posted already, but my search skills seem to be failing me at the moment. :silly:
Is there a way to do an in place OTA update from pie to Android 10 Q keeping Magisk root?
Or do I have to do the old way and revert pie, take the OTA, then apply the patched boot.img?
Thanks for any help!
You could revert and take the update or revert and flash Q via fastboot. Either way you'll have to root again after.
Pixel 3 XL, Yep, Crashed It.....
..... Again.
What I usually do is grab the current months image (in this case november), move the boot.img to my device, patch it with Magisk, move it back to my computer. Grab the OTA for the current month, sideload via fastbootd, after successful reboot I just go back into fastboot and flash the patched_boot.img.
Sounds like a lot, but usually takes only a few minutes after the downloads are complete.
In case anyone was wondering, now that Magisk is updated to 20.1, I was able to do an in place OTA upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10 following the Magisk tutorial here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md
My laziness paid off and I only waited a couple of months! :laugh:

Yeah that very well could be. I'm going to check my better half's phone and see if her has taken a new OTA yet. We're both vzw with google edition phones - my model is Pixel 3 XL, and hers is Pixel (OG).
Thanks.
I updated my Google Edition Pixel 3XL to 10 two nights ago. Now today, I received a notification that an update failed to install.
I am thrown off because I turned off updates, but regardless of that, if I just updated to 10 two nights ago, what is with this update wanting to install in my device?
I am on vzw OG unlimited data plan, the build # of my currently installed Android version 10 is: QP1A.190711.020.C3. Anyone can enlighten me on this?
Thanks in advance
You're on andriod 10. But you're on the sept, 2019 update. So your phone is probably trying to update to a more current version.

Then do #4 'keep data' to install the latest Factory image. Do #9 to root.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it
I have since updated my device again. I used the "OTA" method to do the update. All-in-all it took about 15 minutes or so. Now the security patch level is: October 5, 2019. I suspect that it will tell me sooner or later that there is an even newer update. Hmmm...
I'm still waiting in the even newer updates to come down to my device. I do like the fact though that I can install an ota with magisk and don't have to connect to a computer.
I just wish I could speed up the updates using that method too. I was thinking that it would install the latest/greatest the first time out of the gate. Lol

Folks with the Google purchased unlocked version....did you get the update? I have not so far. I know I can side load it but I am curious if it is just me.
Nothing for me. I'm curious tho, I had to sideload the Nov update to get the Verizon build. So now I'm waiting to see if the OTA will come for Dec.
Nothing for me either. If I wanted to sideload the OTA, would I get the one for US carriers? I don't see a Verizon specific one this time around.

My question exactly. I'm wondering if they are now doing away with the Verizon specific builds and keeping it standard across all US carriers. Same situation here and no update yet.
I haven't received the update yet either. I've got the files downloaded and ready but I'm gonna wait a little bit to see what happens.
I believe the .a1 update is for Canada, correct me if I'm wrong

At this point I've seen no evidence that anyone in the US on Verizon has had the update properly pushed OTA to their phone.
I miss the days when the "Check for Update" button worked and would actually pull the update.

Yup. I never got any OTAs since day 1 on mine. Had no issues with this with my 2 XL or 5.
I'm using unlocked on Verizon and had to sideload the US update. So far the phone is a lot more stable and reception seems to be slightly better.

They always work towards having one US version. If you look at the history of the other phones on the factory image page you will see where they split apart but often come back together in a month or two.
So as we sideload we load the US version.
I have a pixel 6 pro unlocked purchased from Google and haven't received the update. I hate to ask but can someone point me in the right direction to side load the update. I've never side loaded an update and could use the assist. Thank you all in advance

Download the platform tools to your computer so you have ADB.
Download the CORRECT OTA image from the link above and copy the zip to the platform tools folder. Do not extract it, leave it as a zip.
Connect your phone to your computer with USB Debugging turned on in Developer Options.
Reboot into recovery then issue the adb command to load the OTA file.

Bumping this with a title change. Just learned my kids unlocked has not updated. He is on ATT.
So wondering if other carriers have the same issue.
I got impatient and sideloaded the OTA for my unlocked P6P on Verizon's network. I used the .017 OTA image and all went smoothly.
