Upgrade problems

I just bought this phone yesterday, mostly because it is supposed to have nougat available. When I try to update I get the message that I have the latest software, but it's August security patches. When I try to flash any updates in recovery through ADB I get errors. Can anyone help me out here?
What is your software channel? If It's RETUS, we should get it tomorrow.

you need to be at the December patch before you can install Nougat.
you can download the security patches from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917

I'm actually having the same exact issue. Which firmware do I flash if im Blur_Version.24.41.52.addison.retail.en.US and have a RETUS phone?

I'm not sure if you have to flash just the latest patch or whether you have to flash all that are available before you flash Nougat (Blur_Version.24.231.19.addison.retail.en.US)
Blur_Version.24.41.25.addison.retail.en.US is the August 2016 patch. this is what's on your phone now.
Blur_Version.24.41.47.addison.retail.en.US is the October 2016 patch
Blur_Version.24.211.9.addison.retail.en.US is the November 2016 patch
Blur_Version.24.221.12.addison.retail.en.US is the December 2016 patch

I tried to flash every single ota and always get an error. For example, this is the error i get when trying to flash the October 2016 patch:
Do I need to mount the system?
Build number and hardware version.
Other one didn't take.

I just got my phone on Thursday from Best Buy and I'm having the same issue as you. I even have the same fingerprint, which doesn't match up to any of the finger or thumb prints in the OTAs that were linked. That is the issue here. I'm trying to decompile the October OTA, change the required thumbprint (which is why it is failing), re-zip and sign the OTA. In theory it should work but I can not get the signature on the OTA to stick. If I figure it out, I will post a link to the new file. But if I can't and you figure out a way to force the OTA, let me know. Thanks!!!
I'm probably going to just give up and unlock my bootloader tomorrow and flash linage or something. Kind of ticked that this phone won't take updates. Either that or return it for a G5.
I just got the notification for the update, guess I'll give it a shot.

Did your phone take the update?
Yes, finally

2nd November update (latest stock ROM image)

Can someone that has the 2nd november update on their phone check if the version V9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF is the latest stable ROM?
I have the October update and I am experiencing battery life problems, so I need to update. If this is not the latest updated ROM, than can someone point out where to find it.
Thanks!

Yes, This Is The Latest One.
i have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF its 2nd november patch with new fingerprint gestures
Thank you! Any ideas where I could find the latest rom? It's not posted on the http://en.miui.com yet.
No problem, maybe you need install last one from miui forum and then update it trough OTA. Bcs they bit slow in releaseing it... Last post about Mi A2 Lite ROM i found is this: en.miui.com/thread-4400899-1-1.html
Is there any changelog for updates?
I can't find new gesture bro. How can i get it?

No new gestures for me, only camera with power button.
I have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF your patch from November 1
How many November 2018 updates are there? It seems there are 2. Is this correct? I see a reference to November 1 and another to November 2. So, there are 2 updates, I think. I am asking because I have the latest update, I think. From the the "System" settings I copied this build number: opm1.171019.019.v9.6.11.0.odlmiff. What is odd is that the phone says: "Your system is up to date, Android version 8.1.0, security patch level: November 1, 2018. It does not say security patch November 2, 2018.
I had my phone set for automatic updates, so I never noticed if it updated once or twice.
Can anyone make this clearer to me?

Check the build date of your kernel. Should say November 12 for the second November update.
I got my phone yesterday, and received the October update immediately, however no sign of a November update! Is there something I need to do? I keep checking for updates but nothing is coming! I've also restarted the phone, changed sim, but no November love for me!

no, it's stock.
There is no security update other than November 1, 2018 with the build number V9.6.11.0. But if you are a beta tester or anyhow updated your phone to Android Pie then in that case you can get November 5, 2018 security update.

Then you should try to update your device by checking for update

Maybe I wasn't clear! When I check for updates I get a message that my phone is up to date!
I've done everything I could find online, I've changed SIMs... even countries... I can't get updates!

Update to latest security patch without upgrading to Android 10

I am wanting to get the latest security updates for the Pixel 3 XL but do not want to upgrade to Android 10 (for the time being).
I saw the latest update for Android Pie for 3 XL was August 2019.
Is there a way to get the current security update without being forced to upgrade to Android 10?

No, the latest updates are all on 10. Is there a reason you haven't taken any 10 updates? If your holding out for a Verizon bootloader unlock, don't hold your breath. No offense to Fern and whoever else is working on it, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I really like having the ability to swap the navigation buttons. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/android-10-swap-navigation-bar-menu-t3966439).
Plus...I've read a good few posts where people aren't happy with battery life and prefer going back to Pie.

stock or custom

which is better??

For the Pixel/Pixel XL custom. Why? Google stopped providing Security Updates for these phones December 2019.
lineage 17.1 has a January 2020 Security Update

No more updates since 1st January?

I've bought this phone earlier this year (at a big store) and I haven't received an update. I haven't rooted/modified ROM/unlocked bootloader or anything. I used it as it is.
But the thing is that the phone can't connect to the OTA updates, and it should have at least find the latest security patches. What is wrong?

Actualy there is a more recent Pie build with march patches : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82210047&postcount=158
It's weird that the OTA is not working.
I recently flashed Oreo stock rom ( miflash) and upgraded to Pie over OTA, i could only get the 10.18 version, probably other update is pulled to, it was 75mb , maybe just security patch and some software to prepare upgrade to android 10
