No updates for my Nexus 5X

Hello to everyone. I just bought my new 5X but it has still the security patch of October 2015 and the first build of Marshmallow. OTA does not notify me any updates and, for now, I can not flash anything. How can I fix?

I have the same problem. Bought it brand new and activated it yesterday. It says the OS is up to date. I have no lag or any other issues floathing on the interwebs but still I bought a nexus for the updates and they are not comming. Im on 6.0 october 1st 2015 security patch. LGH791 variant in Sebia.
Tried google play services clearing data, rebooting, factory reset and no OTA showed up. Will wait a couple of days, but would love some insight on why is this the case.

same problem here. Still on 6.0 , no OTAs yet

I have the same problem, Android 6.0 and 1 October 2015 security patch. I tried a factory reset, but nothing... I hope the problem will solve automatically...

Wow, it's a biiiiig paradox. We have Nexus but they are not upgradable...

I also have the same problem. Have had the phone 2 days and it's still on December's security patch and no update.

If you just got and activated the device, don't panic. Updates are rolled out over time. Give it a few days. If you absolutely have to have it now you can always do it via fastboot. But you'll need an unlocked bootloader and doing that will wipe your device.

I can confirm that after two days my device got updated from october to april security patch overnight.

I got all the updates. You can close the thread, thanks to all

Still waiting for the 7.1.1 update with December security patch?

Hello all,
I'm in the android beta program with my Pixel C and I've been on 7.1.1 for a couple of months, and now that's it's officially released, I've been waiting for it to come over the air for nearly 10 days now. I'm still on 7.1.1 but with the November security patch (NPF26H). I've got myself forcing the check for updates several times a day now lol. I'm in the midwest of America. Just wanting to know if I should keep patient or if there might be something wrong with my device finding the update.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem so it's not your Pixel C. For some reason Google hasn't pushed out the update yet.

I was using the beta also, locked bootloader and everything and never got it. I just ended up flashing it manually since the files are available on Google's site.

Mine wont get it either and when i try to manual OTA it says I cant install an older version.

Also having this issue, and I do not wat to do a factory reset...
Sideloading OTA says the time stamp is Nov 4th, which it says is older than the Beta on my device. Anyone else getting this?

The final release is version NMF26H. The last preview is NPF26H. Is there any difference between the builds?

To be honest, I don't think there are, aside from the security patch for December. My tablet really works fine, I'm just wondering why I'm not getting the update.

I'm hoping this update will fix the sluggishness since the last update.

I got the update yesterday. I didn't do anything, it got pushed to my device on it's own. Hopefully, that will be the case for you guys, as well. Also, I left the beta program.

Same here. Can't see a difference to last beta. Did you recognized something?

No. Not yet.

Just got mine yesterday evening. I'm in the beta program and had the DP on and got the OTA for 7.1.1 if that matters to anyone.

8.1.0 OTA question

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.

Any idea on why my original Pixel XL is still showing that I'm in Beta though? That's really what's confusing me.

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.

At this point I would sideload and hope the Check for Update is fixed in January as expected.

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?

December ROM update for BLN-L24

My 6X just received an OTA. The security patch level went from March 1st to Oct 5th. The EMUI version was updasted to 5.0.1. So far so good, I haven't used it much.

You need to remove root, flash stock boot and stock recovery before you download the ota for installation.

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

Jan security patch OTA

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?

Same here, still no update

Surprisingly that's where I've been checking, hence the post.

I havent gotten it either. Boot loader is locked and on stock image

Can manually install the ota. https://developers.google.com/android/ota

I never got it either. I'm locked and stock on VZW. Manually sideloaded with no issues.

I've read articles in the past that say they push them in waves over a couple weeks. My 6p has taken over a month before to get the update.

I had to side load mine I'm stock and nothing showed up

They said in January pressing the check for update would push it to the device.

Those who have a computer (which is all I hope) and ADB set up why bother waiting for the damn OTA! Sideloading FTW!

They lied obviously lol. Maybe next month...

Nothing here as well

I was prompted to update, and then followed the Magisk instructions to remove and then install the OTA, then put Magisk back on slot 2, but the install of the OTA failed. Any suggestions?

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

Update finally arrived

Restarted my phone today and after the reboot it said finishing update. Never got notified about it. Weird.
