If I'm not mistaken it was just a security update. We will have to wait a few more months for Android 9.0 and the new One skin unfortunately.

November security update is the only thing that got updated.

Thanks gentlemen.

Yes it was just a security update, normally every month Verizon sends one out

Nexus 5X OTA Update Delay?

Since the phone was released, there has been three updates to the OS. I got the first one out of the box like most, but the following two have not graced my device.
Has anyone else gotten the OTA's for these builds?
I find it interesting on which devices get certain waves of the rollout of these OTA's.
Thanks!

You sure there are 3 updates and not regional updates?

I am looking here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#bullhead could these be regional ones?

Those are not regional updates.
The original, the first post-release, and then the November security update. Not sure where to account for the fourth.
I'm surprised they didn't pull the first one since flashing its radio enables Band 12.

I really want to know what each of them adds and why I haven't received neither of them! Hmmm.
Do you or anyone know where a changelog would maybe be?

The first one disables Band 12, along with whatever else Google wanted to change. The most recent one just released today so you'll likely be prompted for an OTA shortly, and it's a security release.
There might be a changelog somewhere but I don't have a link to it on hand,

MDA89E was ship OS
MDB08I Disabled Band 12 and whatnot when it was delivered.
MDB08L is the one in question, what was this one?
MDB08M is the newest one that is a security release, that one is the one we are waiting on right now.
So what was the MDB09L release? Is it a real thing that people got? This is not complexly aimed at you, but to ask the questions to XDA as well. x3
Probably be better to ask Google.
Do you guys know if i have the latest update?

No you don't... See romanpower's post just a few above yours

Are the security updates patched independently of the main software update?
I am still on MDA89E
I have just been notified to download and install MDB08L, and have done. I'm currently in London, UK - on the EE network
Just checked, no update still, i am on EE too.
Nothing here at all on O2 - still on version it shipped with on launch day [emoji14]
MDB08I here. I just checked for updates and I don't have anything available yet.

Weird thing was, i went into system update, clicked the check now button/link and it said no updates available. Then went back to the launcher homepage and within 10 seconds i got the notification to download and install... maybe try that?
wow I don't have any updates besides the one it shipped with and when I check for updates it says I'm up to date. weird.

Same here, stuck on MDA89E on Verizon.. I've done a manual Check for Update every day for the past week, got nothing
I have one straight from Google. Funny thing though, I checked for updates and got a "welcome to your new nexus 5x email"

I had the same thing occur - I've had my 5X for at least a week, so to get this email seems a bit late.

November Security Patch

Has anyone gotten this yet? I see that a couple of Samsung phones from T-Mobile have updated. I thought the Google phones would be the first ones to get these.
Also curious because I heard the back and forth about who was handling updates (Verizon for my VZW model, or straight from Google). So, I was curious if you guys with Google store models have seen this update yet?

November security updates haven't been posted on the Google Dev site yet (https://developers.google.com/android/ota). They'll be there before they start pushing via OTA.
Regarding Samsung, I think that their "November" security update contains the bug fixes that Google pushed to Nexus/Pixel in October.
Arriving today according to Verizon.
http://www.droid-life.com/2016/11/07/verizon-pixel-xl-update-bluetooth-wifi-calling-november/
Security patches by Google are always released on the first Monday of the month. For November, the first Monday is today and as you can see on developers.google.com/android/images, the images are now available.

Answered in another thread but, it looks like they're different security patch levels.
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/index.html
11/1, 11/5, and 11/6. Although after I flashed build X, it shows 11/5 security level so I'm not entirely sure what's up with that.
No OTA yet for my Verizon XL 128gb.
Got tired of waiting, side loaded NDE63X no issues

Yeah I used the google flash-all method which wipes userdata but whatever I don't care about that and I'm still unlocked.
Updated via adb sideload from P ---> X.
Unlocked on Verizon went smooth without a hitch. Just to confirm also.

OTA
Fyi, I got the 'X' update OTA in my Verizon model today. I don't care about bootloader unlock, so I took it.

I don't care about unlock either, and I still haven't gotten the OTA. The other two ppl I know with Verizon models got the update today as well.

If you update your Google Play services to version 10.0.84 (440) and use the update menu in the settings the OTA will appear. :highfive:

This worked. Thanks! Why is step 2 of 2 taking an hour? Says installing update but my phone is booted. I've never seen this. Especially with such a small update.
When I look at Google play services to update it, both the disable button and force stop are greyed. I see no way to update the app. Any suggestions?

You're joking, right? Blueborne, man. Probably the worst Bluetooth security vulnerability in a while, if not ever. Basically every OS has had it patched across the board except - surprise! - Android.

All good, buddy. I only recently - as in, since the start of this year - started seriously following Android (lack of) security. It's pretty scary once you start keeping up with it. Basically the entire Android ecosystem is where Windows was pre-XP SP2.

no worries! yep, all good. i used to do source builds for my nexus 5, but sold that 2 years ago for an LG G4, that i traded in on my Z2F so i've been kinda out of the loop so to speak in following android myself. hoping that will change with this phone. kernel source is out, should only be a matter of time for twrp
but back on topic, im wondering if i will get the update since ive unlocked. i took the august patch before did it, so guess we will see

i'm a part of that thread as Mike-Mike
Yeah I'm the creator of the thread. Sure day was the first day it wasn't being sent. A user on our team used my flash all and got the update last Saturday and it's odd TMobile hasn't came out with a full stock updated rom like other carriers have.

No more updates, security or otherwise?

Since installing 8.0.0 there hasn't even been a security update. Are updates done for the HTC 10? 8.0.0 broke Bluetooth media info in my vehicle so I had fingers crossed for an 8.0.1 or 8.1. Battery life dropped a lot for me too. Time to downgrade or install Lineage?
I have the same question/problem.

I don't think anything is coming. We're past the two year update period htc usually promises. There were a couple updates for the Taiwan variant since Oreo came out, but if we haven't gotten those by now I would be surprised if we ever get them.

pie 9 update on G960U1?

I'm wondering when we can expect G960U1 to get the pie 9 update?
Also, I flashed from U to U1, will that change anything for me? Will I have to download firmware with the 9 update manually or will it come automatically? Thanks!

There is no exact date for launching Pie on U1 but it will be there in coming weeks. As on locked phones they started rolling out already.
Terribly frustrated u1 owner bere, been waiting for months now. It was way easier to force OTAs when I had a Motorola

True that and i am just wondering why on earth i bought Snapdragon Variant anyway as Samsung only support their own processor first.
It's always that way, Samsung always rolls out updates to the big market carrier phones first and unlocked phones last.

According to Samsung, US unlocked phones should get it February 18.

True not too bad, only 2 months after their initial release (Dec 2018). :silly:
It was inferred by Samsung Care yesterday that I shouldn't be surprised with a March OTA.
Regardless, T-Mobile will need to be completed before us and they are still in the "development" phase of OneUI.

Damn, back to development per T-Mobile's website.
Yep, T-Mobile pulled their update because of problems. I'm wondering now if that's going to delay the unlocked update. BTW, the 2/18 date came from a chat someone in the beta forums had with support.
