Has anyone rooted their pixel 2 xl yet I'm loving the phone but I keep going back to my Nexus 6 because of no root.
Nothing yet. I'm waiting on root as well.

Give it time. Good things come to those who wait.
I don't think this belongs in this thread. Sounds like a question, looking for answers to me

Ok I just got the Note 4 and I honestly hate Touchwiz I wanted the Nexus 6 64 but couldnt find it. Had a One Plus and it fell apart within a week but I love Cyanogenmod its way better than Touchwiz when is it coming out? Why is nobody else talking about it?

well sorry. but people have been talking about it. however if you look at the forums you would know that att and verizon version of the note 4 has a locked boot loader which prevents rooting. so unless you have the t mobile note 4 right now you are stuck on a stock phone hope you enjoy it more then the one plus
I figured this would be the perfect place to post this. I'm desperately wanting a new phone that is unlockable. I am on the Note 3 and I just miss having an unlocked phone which is why I don't want the Note 4. I'm looking at the M9 and the soon to be released G4. In the honest opinion of the people who own the phone, what would you guys recommend? What are the strong and weak points of the M9?

You should probably google search what rooting is and some of the modifications that it can bring. Once you've done that then you will be able to make an informed decision to root or not to root.
Anyone get the software update this evening ?
Haven't had a chance to check any differences

Nothing available here in my 64gb 2 xl
Copy that, came through for me yesterday (10/18). No idea what it changed.
Has anyone captured the ota? It sure would be nice if google would post OTA's and factory images for these devices already
I got the ota yesterday. I was wondering if anyone else had any info. It's still the September security update... I thought that was weird

I got it yesterday, went ahead and took it since mine's an unlocked version. No security update. It said fixes and improvements for features or something like that. It was pretty small too. The update seriously took like 60 seconds lol.

No update for me - wonder why some get it and others don't. Is it geographical ? I
Goode usually does a staged rollout for updates, I haven't gotten it on mine yet either so those of us without it should get it within a few days probably.
You're supposed to be able to pull it now with the check for updates button. I'm on a Google unlocked 2 XL on Verizon. Maybe it's Verizon specific?

This is suppose to be the case but it's not really true. I had a regular Pixel that didn't get the October security update till 4? days after it was released even though I had the latest stable play services, hitting check update did nothing.
That's a bummer
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Doesn't is seem odd that there is no October security update for the Pixel 2 and 2 XL? Wasn't it released in general on October 3? Why aren't the phones shipping with it? And if not, why does it exist for the original Pixel phones but not the Pixel 2/XL?
I am on Verizon and didn't get any update...

That's the version I'm running but as far as I know, that is the version on the phone out of the box.
-- Never mind. I did not get an update and there are no full OTA files posted for the Pixel 2.
I just upgraded my TMobile line to a 2 XL, and I want to use my old XL for my Verizon line. In the old 6P days, I would have to change the image due to them being carrier specific. Is that true for the Pixel XLs? It appears that Verizon is using OPR3.170623.013 now, and there is no specific Verizon image. Can someone just confirm that I should be able to reset the phone, pop the Verizon SIM in, and be off to the races? Thanks!
My understanding is just pop in the sim and you are good to go. It may tell you there is an update available and it may wait until the December update is ready. The Verizon specific firmware really just deals with some reception/radio type stuff from what I have read. When I got my Pixel XL I just dumped the sim in it from my old phone and it took care of itself, I have a Google Store version with a Verizon SIM.

With the 6p, I had horrid coverage problems until I put the Vz specific OS on it...
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I can't speak to that, I would just pop the sim in and see what happens, it will take a Verizon firmware, I just don't know when. When you put the sim in give it a few minutes to see if it does it on its own, if not check for updates in settings and see if that pulls it in. No harm in just giving it a shot.

Is reception an issue, or did it take the Verizon update?
