Yes me too. I will always stick to AOSP and CM. But what I'm thinking is, Huawei should release updates for all model numbers of a phone.

In here there was a need for this update. Because a company launched free unlimited 4g data, calling , sms for months . That's make whole country go crazy for buying their sim. That's why this update is specifically for India

I think you have to extract the update.app using extract tool. Recovery should be there.
This update mainly includes LTE update.
People have also reported that after this update they are not able to flash custom ROM.
Anyhow this is for stockies.

well i flashed this update. Don't know what will happen now after this !!

This update makes your device too much lagging. Only useful stuff is VoLTE. Battery draining issue.
I returned to slim ROM after trying this nonsense.
I struggled a lot to install custom ROM after this update. I think you have to downgrade to previous marshmallow official ROM to install custom roms.

Yes B360 causes bootloop when flashed with other ROMs because of some internal changes not playing good with AOSP/CM stuff.

@adriansticoid yeah i can sense that. But downgrade always poses issues with the phone. Maybe the boot loader is kinda updated along with modem files.... And strangely the thing is that my phone is now not readable in fastboot mode in windows. Though before this update i got it working. :silly:

Before the b360 update my phone was recognized by fastboot installed in Linux ( not able to update fastboot, some issue with pacman). Later I have to try another fastboot in windows.
Try latest adb and fastboot.

[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

V and X are the same (X more for Verizon)...you can sideload no problem

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

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

ANy way to go from 7.1.2 to 7.1.1 without wiping?

I'm not rooted and my bootloader is still locked.

I am assuming a Google phone.
You can drop out of the beta and you should get an OTA to take you back. However last I heard from others they are still waiting on their OTA. So that might require waiting a bit.
Anything else will wipe the phone. Unlocking it will trigger a wipe. If you are already unlocked you could do it....But you are not.

Everything you mentioned will wipe the device. The is no way to go back manually. The only way not to force wipe the phone is to wait for the release version of. 2 in a few months.

Is 7.1.2 as awful as 7.1.1 was?

You'll need to wait for the mysterious OTA after you unenroll. That's your only option being that your bootloader is locked.

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.

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)

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.
