Anyone know which OTA build is for the Verizon Pixel XL OTA? There are two different builds listed. Thanks.

Are you unlocked? If so flash the whole image, but remove the -w from the flashall bat file to save your data.

Only thing I can do is unroll from the beta and wait for the 7.1.1 it's and install 7.1.2
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app

There is a bug with the latest adb (version 25.0.4) that means it can't deal with larger files (link bellow), you need to roll back to 25.0.3 version of adb. Once you do you can sideload it no problems, command:
adb sideload (name of your file)

Seems that ADB is broken. If you install the previous version it will sideload

I would hold tight for a day or two. If you are on a different version there will be an OTA just for beta.
What version are you on now? Maybe the last beta update got you to where the rest of us are today.

Ok so i just tried to install the official OTA update on my pixel xl, the one google rolled out on my phone, and after downloading the file when it gets to step 1 of 2 it says
Coudn't Install
Installation failed
Im worried because my phone is rooted but i have done a systemless root so i could still get OTA updates. Does anybody know if this is an issue or will it be ok if i wait a couple days and then install it??

If it failed today it will fail in two days too. Something you did is making it fail. No big deal.
CZEddie has a guide here on how to sideload it with ADB. Below is how i do it each month.
Third post in the thread below. Just get the 7.1.2 full image instead of the 7.1.1 I mention in that post.
Pay attention to removing the -w from the flashall bat file. That is the key to saving your data.
And second to the last post in the thread are the​ instructions for getting root back.

Is anyone having trouble flashing Supersu and getting it to work after installing the OTA? I've flashed and it won't stick. App shows but says it can't install binaries.

I installed the OOS 3.2.0 zip and now I'm getting an OTA...

I downloaded and flashed the OOS 3.2.0 zip once it was posted online but pulled by oneplus. I have been getting a notification for a system update for the past few days. As previously mentioned I'm running OOS 3.2.0, I'm rooted(systemless... Obviously) and I am using the official version of TWRP.
Is it safe for me to run the OTA? I'm also encrypted if that matters.
I've attached a few screenshots below...
TIA,
MeeGz
If you are rooted OTA will fail to install.

The best option is to download the whole 3.2.1 firmware, flash thru TWRP and immediately flash Supersu, clean Cache and Dalvik Cache and voila!

I think it will fail. You need to download and flash the full OS zip to make it work.
I kind of saw that coming. This is the number one issue I have with rooting and with custom ROMS like CM in the past. Updating is always a giant PITA...

You should flash back to stock and update. Cannot install OTA over a rooted rom I believe.
However, I came from Paranoid Android and followed the advice here, and it worked perfectly. Was able to keep root and TWRP.

currently on CM13.1 nightly I'm going to follow what you did. Hope it will work
I was rooted I use this post, and the is a link in that thread to the actual zip your will need, and also you must have the updated TWRP as well. All the information is in that thread. but that is literally it.
Download update zip
Download Flashfire
download new TWRP
Back up you crap ( will not wipe SD card unless you tell it to )
Run FlashFire, set setting correctly
run it, you will already be rooted when done
set dev mode
re-flash new TWRP
PROFIT
Did you get the option "Restore boot and recovery images" when setting Flash OTA zip? I just got Auto mount and Mount /system read/write.

If you have Xposed just get Android N-ify and it's just like having 7.0
Anyone updated from DP5 / systemless root / TWRP?
And flashed zip for adaway to work.
What are the steps to update with ota zip?
Yes and everything is ok. Follow the steps carm01 suggests some post above. Its easy and at least for me everything worked. After fisrt boot you can go to TWRP and flash everything else you need.

You can get the same experience without going through the trouble of upgrading and then having to root again etc. I personally like it but we all have opinions

I used it months ago so there could be a lot of changes to it since then?
I don't believe the new notifications are there? Quick pull down? It's also nice that it takes up a GB less for system as well.
What rom are you on?

[Q] regarding the new upcoming update! (7.1.1)

Just a quick question, as you know guys this week Google will release the new update 7.1.1 patch. as I rooted my device I won't be able to download OTA update! I already have the TWRP, EX Kernel and I don't want to lose them. Now, Is it possible to flash the new 7.1.1 update via TWRP without losing the root? if so, How?
thanks in advance for your help
As far as I know, the phone won't accept the update with your phone modified.

Have you considered just flashing the WETA ROM 1.1 which is based on the update that will be released ? I am running it with twrp, elemental kernel ON bootloader unlocked VERIZON phone . Everything works perfect. V4A is an added bonus .

sound good!, Now do if I sideload or fastboot the update will lose the root?
Yeah. You'll have to re root.
I'm pretty sure anyways. Root is part of boot partition now I believe and when you flash the factory boot it's going to erase root

You must TWRP Backup (Untouched System Image + Boot) before rooting your phone frist time
Then every time OTA realesed you
1- restore that backup
2- flash original recovery
3- update system
4- flash TWRP
5-Rooting device
Thats it
We can side load updates while being completely stock?

Titanium backup is just for your apps etc. Twrp backs up your entire device so you can restore it later.

Can't install March security update

So I bought my Google Pixel XL few days ago from eBay. The phone was used by the seller only for few days. Everything works fine except for the system update.
I'm actually able to download the 2017-03 security patch, but once the installation starts it fails in step 1 and I get the error message in the screenshot.
Did anybody experience a similar problem? Do you think I must return the phone?
Only reason I can think of that will bork an update is if one or more of the core apps are deleted or frozen. You verified you're all stock correct?

The seller may have had it rooted. And he didn't install factory firmware, before he sold it to u. Maybe he did an unroot root in SuperSU and that is not a sure thing. Just a guess. I would go to Google site and fastboot newest factory image.
Edit. Is the bootloader unlocked?
Check in your about phone section and see what version, kernel, and baseband your on. Or screenshot it and post it here

Is it a Google version if it is I would unlock it and flash the new factory image. If it's not I would prob try to get money back. I'm not sure if you can flash factory image with locked bootloader. I think you can go ahead but not backwards. You will have to make sure.
You can use adb to sideload the signed ota zip in stock recovery with a locked bl.
You shouldn't have to do any of that if it's stock unrooted. But unfortunately, you don't know what the previous owner may have done.
Adb sideload might be your only choice to truly get back to stock.

I think this is the best place to start. Here are some directions for the OP.
Get the fastboot adb tools from google. Unzip them onto your computer's desktop.

Then get the full ota zip and follow the directions on this page.

You should use the full flashable image and not the OTA to return to stock from this page:

Using the specific image 7.1.1, second from bottom of Pixel XL seection.
Ok thanks a lot guys, I'll flash it once I get home.
Just to be sure, this won't void the warranty right ? because I checked with Google and the phone is still under warranty.

I'm on Beta, will I get OTA?

I have beta N950USQU3CRBB, will I get OTA? Or will I have to revert back to Nougat to get OTA. If I have to revert back, is there a guide on how to do it and where to get the build?
No, you will not. The easiest thing to do is to apply the CRBB to CRC2 update since CRC2 is the build going out OTA:
