I'm on the NPN25.137.35 with the latest security patch level showing from January. Phone is telling me it is up to date Not sure it maters but I'm in Salt lake City, UT.
I got this update last week. I have the OTA zip if needed.

It's very typical for carriers and manufacturers (including Google for Nexus/Pixel) to do staggered rollouts of updates. It reduces server load, but more importantly, if there is a bug the people who get it early (there are typically not that many who get it early) would report the bug. Then the second batch of people getting it is bigger, then the third even bigger. Rollouts can last 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't panic. We are their beta testers.
Location probably doesn't matter. I'm based in OC, but currently in the Palm Springs area.

Hi,
Identical to the RETEU update from the last week! Still waiting for a "real" update.
Still nowt for retgb
I tried to adb sideload the zip above but I get an error. Any ideas? I dropped the name "BLUR version" and renamed the zip "update.zip"...got the error. I redownloaded and renamed to NPNS25.137-35-5...same error
Edit: here is the error message "package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPNS25.137-35-5/5 user release-keys or 7.0/NPN25.137-35/37 user release keys; this device has 7.0/NPN25.137-33/35 user/release -keys"
Is there another firmware that I need to download and apply first?
Edit 2: does motorola require fastboot all the files (unzipped) instead of adb? In my other phones I just put the update.zip file on the root directory and applied with stock recovery. That did not work either. Same error message.

You should probably just wait until the OTA pops up on your device.

I'm in NYC and just got it. I installed it but it was weird, my security updates updated to May 2017, but my build number is still NPNS25.137-33-5. I checked again for updates but it said I'm current. Also, my kernel is 3.18.31 dated 5/11/2017. Did I update?

This update should contain the bugfixes up through the May security bulletins if I understand it correctly.
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/
Started prompting me for this update last weekend on amz branch.
Im in NYC as well and just got the update. It showed as NPN25.137-35 but it said it was a 20MB download. I have the amazon prime version of the phone and once i finished the update, it still shows NPN25.137.33 and the security patch level still shows Jan1, 2017.
Now when i check for updates, software is up to date. Wierd. Anyone else experience this?
I've checked for a US g5+ support page fairly regularly since getting the phone. It hasn't even been listed on the support page until the last week or so. But, while it's finally listed.......there's only a generic Lenovo placeholder on it. Several months after the phone's release.
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Cell-Phones/Android-Series/Moto-G-Plus-5th-Gen
I've got a Lenovo laptop......their customer service and software upgrades suck. I once sent in my rather expensive Yoga laptop for warranty trackpad repair......and they had it for two months and despite repeated checking their website and calling, I could never get an estimated repair date. Finally, they gave me a date......4 more months. I raised holy hell and they sent me a new, more recent Yoga release. The support page for the laptop seems to update with Lenovo bloatware "upgrades" fairly regularly.....but their support for more important basic drivers is pretty lacking (wifi, bluetooth and graphics drivers from 2015 and 2016, anybody? Yeah, didn't think so.). And, yeah, first thing I do when getting any new PC is a clean install with no bloatware, but Lenovo also makes it tough to keep drivers updated through forced windows updates by using hardware IDs which make it hard for you to install generic component drivers, unimportant drivers like Intel graphics drivers. So you install the latest, and a forced windows update uninstalls the Intel release and installs a mid-2016 driver for you. Thanks! So there are obscure ways to defeat that.
Oh, and then there's the touchpad Synaptics drivers (Lenovo specific) where two finger tap (right click menu) has NEVER been fixed. Takes a registry modification to fix it.
Anyway...enough venting about Lenovo/Moto poor support. I knew it when I purchased the phone, and I'd still buy it again.

Factory reset..
Wow. Two system updates in the last 10 days. Just updated BLN-L24C567 to B366 from B365. Security patch is Nov. 6.
I guess this makes Huawei/Honor phones a lot better than Lenovo Moto phones. Once I recommended my father to buy a (Lenovo) Moto X Pure. The phone received updates something twice a year (!), and its Nougat update came 13 months (!) after the official Nougat release, and maybe 10 months after when Lenovo promised this update would be available. Huawei has a better track record than Lenovo IMHO.
13 months is a lot, and yes, Huawei/Honor has been better in the recent years when it comes to updates
Indeed. They give update if want to else simply discard. btw see what Apple was doing with regular updates.. they admitted and was a let down for many (but accepting it needs some real guts for a brand like Apple)
Who knows other OEMs who gives regular updates are doing similar things
edit: scratch that
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?

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

I got it finally today!
Many users reported TWO different variants of the April Security Update. One which is labeled April 1st and another April 5th. I am confused by this as well, I want to get all the hotfixes but my build does not match Google's OTA page.
I'm using a Pixel XL 2 and I have April 1st version on TELUS network. I got it yesterday night, the download was 46.6 MB My build number is OPM4.171019.015.A1 BUT per Google official OTA website it says I should have 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.029, Apr 2018)
Can anyone shed some light on these TWO variants? Many Rogers users got April 1st but a few got April 5th. Bell seems to be all on April 5th. Telus/Koodo seems to be a mixed bag also.
The one you're referring to on the Factory Images page is the stock release for non-carrier Pixel 2s.
Sometimes carrier branded releases come out the same time, but usually they're released after. Carrier branded releases will have different version numbers, as you can see in the previous release history.

That still doesn't explain why I got April 1st variant. I don't even know if I got the new hotfixes.
Even Google were surprised to hear that. They told me that eventually. The update is pushed through anyways from Google channels. They escalated the issue.
But first time I see two variants

The April 5 release contains all of the security patches and bug fixes plus the current updates for Pixel 2, Pixel, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X and Pixel C. The April 1 release allows OEMs to apply specific patches to correct problems found with AOSP. This has always been the case and I can remember only one time I only had the 1st patch to apply to my Nexus.

You don't have to uninstall magisk to update your factory image. Have you also unlocked the _critical partition with "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"?? This WILL wipe your phone if you haven't!!

It is possible someone jumped the gun, releasing it too early, and they pulled it so can't download it.

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)

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.

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?

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.

Thanks! Did you patch the boot.img using the Magisk Stable Channel?
Just installed mine.. What's the difference? I do not see anything yet that stands out..

I seem to remember reading somewhere that it wouldn't be active with the initial release.
