Nexus 5X OTA Update Delay?

Since the phone was released, there has been three updates to the OS. I got the first one out of the box like most, but the following two have not graced my device.
Has anyone else gotten the OTA's for these builds?
I find it interesting on which devices get certain waves of the rollout of these OTA's.
Thanks!

You sure there are 3 updates and not regional updates?

I am looking here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#bullhead could these be regional ones?

Those are not regional updates.
The original, the first post-release, and then the November security update. Not sure where to account for the fourth.
I'm surprised they didn't pull the first one since flashing its radio enables Band 12.

I really want to know what each of them adds and why I haven't received neither of them! Hmmm.
Do you or anyone know where a changelog would maybe be?

The first one disables Band 12, along with whatever else Google wanted to change. The most recent one just released today so you'll likely be prompted for an OTA shortly, and it's a security release.
There might be a changelog somewhere but I don't have a link to it on hand,

MDA89E was ship OS
MDB08I Disabled Band 12 and whatnot when it was delivered.
MDB08L is the one in question, what was this one?
MDB08M is the newest one that is a security release, that one is the one we are waiting on right now.
So what was the MDB09L release? Is it a real thing that people got? This is not complexly aimed at you, but to ask the questions to XDA as well. x3

Probably be better to ask Google.

Do you guys know if i have the latest update?

Are the security updates patched independently of the main software update?
I am still on MDA89E

I have just been notified to download and install MDB08L, and have done. I'm currently in London, UK - on the EE network

Just checked, no update still, i am on EE too.

Nothing here at all on O2 - still on version it shipped with on launch day [emoji14]

MDB08I here. I just checked for updates and I don't have anything available yet.

Weird thing was, i went into system update, clicked the check now button/link and it said no updates available. Then went back to the launcher homepage and within 10 seconds i got the notification to download and install... maybe try that?

wow I don't have any updates besides the one it shipped with and when I check for updates it says I'm up to date. weird.

Same here, stuck on MDA89E on Verizon.. I've done a manual Check for Update every day for the past week, got nothing

I have one straight from Google. Funny thing though, I checked for updates and got a "welcome to your new nexus 5x email"

I had the same thing occur - I've had my 5X for at least a week, so to get this email seems a bit late.

Anybody get the OTA yet that wasn't a Beta member?

If nobody has, has anyone heard a timeframe?

Not yet, since Monday and today is Thursday, four days ago 8.0 came out. My Pixel XL came out last year with Nougat so this is the first big Platform Upgrade. I'm trying to remember if my former Nexus 5 took so many days to get a Platform Upgrade.

My understanding from a few articles is that Google is rolling it out and anybody not in the beta program will get it "soon." I have a play store version using a Verizon SIM and I have it check under system update periodically and haven't had it pushed to my phone yet.

They haven't even posted the actual OTA files yet. Most likely cause they(the public OTA release) are not finalized until after the release to beta users to catch any final issues....as they pulled the one they pushed it at first...then resent(signature issues). Quite a few users reporting O issues....so I would say it will be at best a week or 2 before Google works out the bugs and does public OTA.

Not from non-beta OTA, later I joined the beta, and it came.

Nope I check daily and nothing

Same here man. I'm not expecting it until I see some images posted. And that might be 8.0.1 at this point. Multiple problems out there. No rush whatsoever for me.
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers Legacy app

No OTAs here either, I flashed up from the 7.1.2 August build to the new OPR6 build.

Nothing here either. And like others said, there appear to be some issues with the current release, so I'm in no hurry to upgrade to 8.0. Let them iron out those initial bugs first before they push it to the general public.

I am on the Pixel XL and Nexus 6P with DP4 on both. I received one single ~59MB and ~36MB OTA file on each.
I thought that was really small since all the DP OTAs were ~1GB and so expected a similar size for the stable OTA. Can you share your OTA experience? What was the size and did you receive two files (small+big) as some others are reporting online?

mine was about 60 some mb, I got the OTA before it was pulled the first time and everything went smoothly for me. after reading other's experiences I'm wondering why mine worked.

I was on 7.1.2 and when I was checking system update, it only showed "system is up to date". And then I joined the Android Beta Program and I received a notification that Android O was ready to download, size about 950MB.
Then it proceeds like any other OTA. I didn't get any second package yet.

In your case - you joined the Beta program after Oreo was released - so it makes sense that the OTA to final would be 900MB. Thanks for your response!

OK so I guess the DP4 to final Android Oreo OTA is ~60MB. Thanks man! I will let other people in parallel forums know about it.

Pixel XL from Google Store/on VZ network (off contract). I was not on the DP but sources advised to sign up, get the OTA, and then unenroll. I did that yesterday and am now on OPR6.170523.012 which is stable and I understand the final. Working fine.

On the T-Mobile SIM Pixel XL, from DP4 my current build number is: OPR6.170623.011
Google needs to get its sh*t together and start to clearly communicate what's going on and where we stand.

Got the facts from the Pixel forum here.
If you're on the DP4 Android O, it is considered the final Release Candidate so only the smaller OTA is delivered to bring you in line with the stable release of Android Oreo.

I see that that is a way to basically force the OTA to 8.0, but I'm still uncomfortable doing that without any system or OTA images available on the google site. There must be a reason no images have been posted for any carrier. So I'll sit it out for now and I do believe you will get an updated OTA once the images are released. Even though Oreo is "official" I still thinks it's just a later beta with all the issues they're having.

Correct, I have encountered some issues after beta-OTA process, like "Automatic Time Zone" always wrong and hidden wifi not connecting...
I plan to do a factory image flash, if issues persistent, I'll downgrade to 7.1.2 and wait for the real OTA...

This is where I am - now. I never normally do the beta stuff, but this time after Monday's announcement, I got excited and believed all the stories about how you could join the beta, just to get the OTA to the "final" release of 8.0 (I was stock, un-rooted, 7.1.2 on T-Mo). I did it, and it worked just as expected. I was first thrown by the naming convention for the build (OPR......., instead of just "OZKL4T" or something--I realize now that might be how they are named from now on). I have also since seen that there is still carrier testing to be conducted, plus other issues. Also, if it's "final", why aren't the images and OTA files here yet - https://developers.google.com/android/images ?? Being cautious, I decided to reflash the latest 7.1.2 image, and wait patiently for the "real" OTA. Not interested in beta testing (any more than we already do by being Nexus/Pixel stock owners). Happy for everyone that is running this latest build, but I'm only interested in the rock-solid, absolutely final images. Those are not here yet, in the form in which they have always come previously (and will almost certainly come again shortly).

Uh....I'm still on November 7.1.1, was about to upgrade August release but waited for the official O release from Google.lol

Pixel 2 xl factory unlocked still on may security patch

hello im new to xda and also new to pixel 2 xl ....i got it few days ago factory unlocked and when i set it up i got an update same day on may security update...today i refresh it manually and still on may update...im in uk and usin EE network..as far as i know is google that handles the updates in this case and not the carrier..i dunno why im stucked on may security patch....i went to few shops and their pixel 2 xl are still on may security patch ....any thoughts please?if i put another sim will in away push the july update?thank you.

Me too

Download the July OTA from Google and sideload it using ADB. Directions on how to do it are on the page I just linked to.

I know I can but why OTA doesn't come?

Ask Google. But really, does it matter why when you have the ability to fix the problem?

Because is strange that a brand new device stopped updating. But I know, a solution is a solution.

Not that strange. The rollout of OTAs if I recall is staged. It's possible you're one of the last to get it, or other issues such as network quality could affect it. The only people who would know for certain is Google. I couldn't tell you myself because I download the full OTA every month: I'm rooted and incremental OTAs cause issues.

thanx

i have already contacted google twice

And what did they say? I bet they didn't mention the OTA images mentioned upthread, and I bet you've not taken advantage of it to actually get yourself updated. That of course is your call, but complaining won't get your phone updated any faster.

ok

It's a perfectly viable solution, but you're only disagreeing because it isn't the answer you wanted to hear. I don't know who on this forum can give you the answer you want, especially if Google couldn't.

True but that should only take like 2 weeks at the MOST. It should never take until after the next update is out. There have been two updates released since then. We are less than 2 weeks away from the August update.

There is no exact date for launching Pie on U1 but it will be there in coming weeks. As on locked phones they started rolling out already.

True that and i am just wondering why on earth i bought Snapdragon Variant anyway as Samsung only support their own processor first.

It's always that way, Samsung always rolls out updates to the big market carrier phones first and unlocked phones last.

True not too bad, only 2 months after their initial release (Dec 2018). :silly:
It was inferred by Samsung Care yesterday that I shouldn't be surprised with a March OTA.
Regardless, T-Mobile will need to be completed before us and they are still in the "development" phase of OneUI.

Question Does Google provide all updates to Pixel phones bought from Google?

Am looking to buy an unlocked Pixel 6 Pro directly from the Google Store. I was wondering if all system and security updates will come to the phone directly from Google instead of from the carrier I choose, eg T-Mobile.

they come from google

Good to know. Thanks.

I'm sorry but

In fairness, I "think" Google also do the updates for all the carrier variations as well so either way you're good and will get timely updates no matter which Pixel 6 Pro you get.

Not sure what was so funny about that. I currently have an unlocked Note 20 Ultra on T-Mobile and hadn't received any security updates from June through September while other carriers had apparently sent updates during that time. My understanding is that Google is more timely in sending out updates to phones they sell vs. carriers, but I just wanted to confirm that before buying since I've never owned a Google branded phone before.

All the updates come from google, and once in a while they will release slightly different versions for carriers around the world, I believe this is only the modem software, i know in the past that verizon also had some bootloader unlocking blocks as well which took longer for people to get root

Yep, Google is boss of the applesauce!

Its a Google made phone and a Google operating system so come on be serous who do you think do the updates, Santa's helpers?

Google releases the updates, even though there were - as far as I remember - two instances in the past when Google released a certain update for certain carriers slightly later than compared to the other ones, even though we are only talking about hours, couple days max.

Like I said, I've never owned a Google phone purchased directly from Google. My current phone is unlocked with Google's OS and the updates come from T-Mobile AFAIK, which has recently been slow in rolling out their updates, so yes, I wanted to be sure about that before I spend my hard earned $900. Don't know why you had to mock my question. Everyone else who responded here was helpful and kind.
