Hey, just bought brand new 5x and I'm still on 6.0 with oct 1sr 2015 security patch. When I go to system updates it says I'm up to date. Am not getting OTA update automatically. Im on Telenor in Serbia. Should I wait or do I have to root and flash the latest update manually?
Btw, looove the handset and OS is lagfree, no issues, but still wonder why I'm not getting the latest update. No root, LB, brand new OTB device.

How do I update manually? Any recommended guides? I dont feel the need to flash a custom rom, I like what google is doing with android as is for now. Just want the lates and greatest, thats why I bought a nexus.
Also would like to know the reason why I am I not getting updates automatucally. I have the international H791 model. Firmware version MDA89E. Its two OTAs outdated.
Quick thought: Shut down, remove SIM, Start the device, Connect to Wifi, Check for updates.
Just unboxed a brand new 5X 10 minutes ago and have the exact same problem...
Tried to reboot and added a Google account, charged the battery to 100% but the thing still won't find a new system version...

Tried that too. I activated the device without the SIM and used it that way yesterday, inserted it just today.
Than I guess you can't do anything else unless you unlock the bootloader. At this point you can fastboot \system \boot \radio \vendor from the latest factory image or you can sideload ota zip through stock recovey.
I am having the same issue, my new nexus 5x is on 6.0 MDB08L, securiry patch level: November 1, 2015.
When I check for updates it says that my device is up to date...
The OTA will show up eventually. Or update manually.
Same thing for me in Canada. I just ended up enrolling in the Android Beta to get N preview.
Issue solved!
I got a ton of OTAs overnight while device was charging. I think it was 5 OTAs one by one that had to be installed separately, now I am on the latest April security patch and loving my nexus even more. No noticable performance difference, smooth and snappy and now up to date. So I guess updates will come you just have to be patient so google can activate them for your device. In my case it was 2 days since activation.

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
Soooo.....I just bought this phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk.
Today, I got a system update notification saying Android Pie is ready to download.
Anybody else getting this and if so, I have to go back to 100% stock in order to upgrade right? Then unlock BL again?
Mine isn't showing the update yet. I've got the TA-1068. Not unlocked or anything.
It is possible someone jumped the gun, releasing it too early, and they pulled it so can't download it.
Not yet available on my nokia 6.1. I think we are a couple of weeks away from the update.

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)

I've was able to get back to stock recovery, system and vendor using the 1043 images and my phone still shows as a 1045. So even if removing magisk, it fails, cause I'm getting the installation failed as well. I'm curious if removing magisk and relocking the bootloader will help?

Since earlier today, I was able to flash my phone with the WW images and my phone still shows up as TA-1045, radio works and everything. The Pie update isn't showing up for me yet, but I was able to update to the august update this way

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.
I got it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-to-flash-global-firmware-pl2-222e-0-t3831764
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?

I got the July update in July and then I got the August update on August. I don't know why yours took a while to update. Mine and other that I know, get the update for the month the same month.
Hi, my Pixel 2 XL used to get unlocked, TWRP installed, some system files modified via TWRP. But now I flashed stock rom by running flash-all on Google platform tool and then relocked bootloader. It works absolutely fine now but I wonder if my device can receive OTA update anymore. Is there anyone know or any way I can check it?

Wait until next month's OTA.
If you're completely stock, which you should be since you were able to relock bootloader without having a brick for a phone, then you'll get next month's OTA.

My phone is currently in June update. It's now nearly the end of July and I still do not get July OTA update. Does this mean something like I cannot receive OTA anymore?

You can still adb sideload the July OTA with a locked bootloader, personally I'd unlock it and just update with twrp.
Maybe this was posted already, but my search skills seem to be failing me at the moment. :silly:
Is there a way to do an in place OTA update from pie to Android 10 Q keeping Magisk root?
Or do I have to do the old way and revert pie, take the OTA, then apply the patched boot.img?
Thanks for any help!
You could revert and take the update or revert and flash Q via fastboot. Either way you'll have to root again after.
Pixel 3 XL, Yep, Crashed It.....
..... Again.
What I usually do is grab the current months image (in this case november), move the boot.img to my device, patch it with Magisk, move it back to my computer. Grab the OTA for the current month, sideload via fastbootd, after successful reboot I just go back into fastboot and flash the patched_boot.img.
Sounds like a lot, but usually takes only a few minutes after the downloads are complete.
In case anyone was wondering, now that Magisk is updated to 20.1, I was able to do an in place OTA upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10 following the Magisk tutorial here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md
My laziness paid off and I only waited a couple of months! :laugh:

But I guess maybe Visible doesn't have to go through testing the bloatware that comes on VZW builds before releasing the OTA...?

Yeah that very well could be. I'm going to check my better half's phone and see if her has taken a new OTA yet. We're both vzw with google edition phones - my model is Pixel 3 XL, and hers is Pixel (OG).
Thanks.
