I am on 11.2.4.4 (AA) and after reading about the success others were having I decided to take an incremental update, which shows up as 11.2.6.6 (unlocked/verizon). I followed the instructions found in many places, which consisted of restoring image in magisk, taking the incremental update, when finished I did not reboot, and then installed magisk to inactive slot. upon reboot my system still shows 11.2.4.4, and in the system update page it is still asking me to reboot, as if I needed to hit the system restart button in system update, which is very odd. also, I was running omega kernel, and after installing the update the kernel is back to stock, but for some reason the system has not updated and is still stuck on 11.2.4.4, and still has system reboot button on update setting screen. has anyone ran into this issue, and does anyone know how I should proceed? I am afraid if I hit reboot on the update setting screen that I will have some issue. I have also rebooted multiple times, yet the system has not updated. any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated!
When rooted you need the full update, not an incremental
You need to install 11.2.4.4 full update again in local update then the incremental will install

I've never heard of this method, where did you do this yourself and it worked? reinstalling a full update via local update actually forced your incremental update to take? also, how would this work when I would be installing things to different slots?

so you are basically in the same boat as me? an incremental update is not taking? yeah thanks for reporting that, I was skeptical about that method, but I'm thinking I'll try it anyway. if not, guess I'll have to wait until AA releases a full update other than 11.2.4.4

Maybe you can download the full version of the 11 .2.4.4 from here and start over. The custom kernel combined with root may have messed it up. Happy modding!
Edit: only take full updates when rooted.

I know the thing is up until this point I've always went for full os updates, never incremental, but after reading many posts about other members taking incremental updates successfully, (restore images in magisk - take update - don't reboot - then install magisk to inactive slot) I decided to try it myself, and I should have never bothered. I'll just wait until a new full update comes out for AA and never bother with incremental again. thing is I followed instructions to the T, yet it didn't work, so I don't know how others have been successful with this.

so since the incremental update I tried to apply is somehow "stuck" you are saying to local update 11.2.4.4 and then upon reboot 11.2.6.6 will be installed? and are you saying to ota 11.2.4.4 twice because of the slot I am on and would need to get back to that slot for the incremental update to apply? I am willing to try this but I've never heard of it, but hey if it works man then I am grateful
avid_droid said:
Don't get your panties in a bunch with that mad face haha. Just found it odd. I also wasn't rooted for the other gentlemen who said about root.was completely unrooted and fresh system update from BA to AA. Since there isn't a huge difference between 11.2.7.7 and 11.2.6.6 I'll just wait it out. Thanks guys

all good hdr is add to video but that's basically it. but method does work, did it on both my 9pro's
Hi, I just wanted to add that on the AA version(unlocked US version from OnePlus) the boot image have to match for the inc to install. Also I'm using props hide module and to manually select the OTA this has to be disabled (reverted). I ran into some issues at first but hopefully have it figured out.
So I decided to go to the EU version of the OS.
I did that on my 7 Pro and didn't have any issues.
So I'm on 11.2.6.6, running on Verizon with no issues.
Here is my theory on why people are failing OTA. I think maybe their A and B slots dont have matching content before they OTA. Try using the lineageOS script to duplicate the active to the inactive slots first. I'm curious if that does the trick.

I decided to take your advice bro but I'm getting update installation error. I've tried a few times now and the full 11.2.4.4 I have will not install. so I'm unable to even install the full ota, did this happen to you? thing is the 11.2.6.6 incremental ota that didn't install is no longer in system update, now 11.2.7.7 is, so I don't know what is exactly going on bc my system still reports 11.2.4.4. any help is appreciated

Working great for me as DD. Battery life is better than 6.x, but I'd expect that it'd be a little better anyway after a full wipe & fresh install.

I was on the PK1 yesterday, then I ODIN'd to PL1 (using Norbarb's instuctions and wiped my device in the process).
I then realized that since the device was already wiped, I simply ADB directly to QC5 (as it was already 1.5GB in size and should already contain the previous updates).
Battery life is now horrible, although I'm still trying to get used to the new features by turning off / disabling what I don't need. The update is worth it. as the theme makes me "feel" as though I got a new device. The touchwiz additions replace quite a number of third party apps that I'd have downloaded separately otherwise.

As you probably did, I'm using a non-rooted AT&T Galaxy Note 5 (N920A}. I'm familiar enough with ODIN to know that I'll probably mess it up the first try... And spend a lot of time figuring out my mistakes.

The only problem I encountered was the need to perform the large address aware fix to adb so it would sideload the S4CQB2-to-U4EQC5.zip file for me, otherwise it went fine. Just takes time. I went step by step after first backing all my stuff up. I was on an older MM release that had not been patched with any of the last 3 or 4 security patches, so I began with a complete wipe and ODIN of CPK1. Then sideloaded the rest, one at a time and switching USB debug on each time before the next update: CPK1-to-PL1, then PL1-to-CQA1, then CQA1-to-CQB2, then the final S4CQB2-to-U4EQC5. About 90 minutes maybe, a little less? I can't recall, but wasn't a big deal. It took Google longer to load my 180 apps back on at the end LOL. All the tips (like the large address fix) are in the other thread - just read it over before starting. I see we have a new update too to version QC6.... I may flash that or wait another week or two to see if more updates come out. Honestly it is running just great and I have no issues. Snappy. HTH
I will post in Nougat update thread new update to 4CQB2 to 4EQC6 firmware. Please let me know there if you want 4CQA1 to 4EQC6 update also.

ADB sideload always wipes after it completes
There is an app named Flashify which does not wipe after applying updates but that only works on rooted phones (and you cant root the AT&T Note 5)
Therefore no, there is (currently) no way to prevent sideload wipe
Thank you very much Dezborders!
Now it will be my first time to use Odin, pleaz can you give me the link of the more stable marshmallow for you on N920A... ?

I have this same issue. However, I am stock unrooted. Somebody in the Pixel forum was having the same issue. His problem was solved by reflashing the full Oreo image. A factory reset did not fix it. I'm planning to reflash the Oreo image to both partitions tomorrow to see if it fixes the problem.

Yes, major speculating here, but usually Nvidia is very very quick with updates. SO let's all hope and pray. This COULD also be the Nvidia Spot announcement/availability.
Tomorrow 29th or today 28th. Their message is very cryptic. Google Assistant was just released for Nvidia Shield TV! Not Oreo unless they have their own announcement since Assistant one was by Google
Apparently some people are updating to Oreo already. But it looks like US only. :crying:

Got #root#?!
If so, well there's your problem. You can NOT update in the conventional way once your rooted. In short you'll have to first download, and use fastboot, to flash the last 5.0.x Recovery For (Chiefly Recovery, System, and Vendor), and then most likely as not do a full system reset. Which if your unfortunate to be doing this on a Pro. Will mean about roughly 2.5h's+ of downtime. Before you'll then need to worry about the latest Update.
Unfortunately I keep telling myself to never root the damned thing again. 'Cause this IS a huge PitA! but, somehow I never learn.

Alas One does NOT just remove root on the Shield. And, sadly 'cause of it. The only way I know of to be rid of it is flashing a new (Clean Recovery OS), and then factory resetting it fresh for the "New OS" to actually get written. Otherwise root seem to longer like a bad smell on the Shield.
And, now an aside...
Where is all this scuttlebutt about Oreo (Cookie), coming from?
Having done the above... (Sigh again!) I just finished wrapping up that part of the Install. When it occurred to me to check the Version... Which is still Android 7 (e.g. Nougat), so unless someones getting something I'm not. Then, this is not the Chocolate Wafer Cookie your looking for....
Which begs a different question. Why are they calling this "Experience 6..x", and not 5.x.x?

I don't know about any Oreo update, but I updated to the new release without doing any data reset. Simply boot to fastboot and flash the downloaded system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img. No need to clear data. Then in the system you can install the OTA as normal and re-root using TWRP and Magisk/SuperSu.

Can you elaborate on this? Maybe post a small guide? I am bootloader unlocked, and currently rooted, but recovery is stock. Where do I get the files you are talking about? Download, boot, and recovery img files? Thanks in advance!

I found this guide here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/667705/-guide-how-to-update-a-rooted-nvidia-shield/
I actually found this helpful guide for updating if you are on a pro and unlocked. http://nvidiashieldzone.com/2017/10/shield-tv-pro-500gb-experience-6-0-upgrade-solution/
I've seen a lot of posts about bluetooth issues, but I can't find anything about this: when I start BT on my pixel XL running 8.1 (the April security patch), it immediately closes. I'm fairly sure that it was okay in January, and maybe February; I think the trouble started with the March update. I have an unlocked and rooted (Magisk) phone, so I've been flashing my own updates. I thought about trying to flash an older version, but I'd rather not lose the security patches. where is the BT code? I know about the radio and modem images; is it one of those? any caveats?

Hi!
I'm having the same issue here, but i tend to think that Magisk is guilty, on non-rooted March update everything worked ok.
I'm still looking for something Magisk-Bluetooth related, maybe there is a fix somewhere.
Goodluck!

Are you updating with an OTA or with the full system image? I am on the April update (full image with flash-all with -w removed) and rooted with Magisk. I use BT every day and have no issues at all. If you haven't done a full image, I would start there without the -w. If still an issue, I would suggest doing a complete image including the -w and doing a complete reset.

yeah, I do the full image without -w, and it's the April image that I'm having trouble with. I guess a wipe might work, although I was hoping to avoid it. would you happen to know where the bluetooth code is?

Hmmm. I think I tried it on the April update before re-rooting; I might give that a shot when the May update comes out.

I don't, but to make sure... I am using 16.0 of Magisk.

It seems that for me one of the Magisk modules was the problem, not sure which, but one of these two: Greenify or Crossbreeder lite, after i uninstalled these two my bluetooth started to work again.

that was it! I turned off Crossbreeder lite (didn't have Greenify) and now bluetooth is working again. thanks!
My device is running .036 and about a week ago the system update said there was a download. I am assuming is .037 because that is the only thing it could be...
I try to download it and it fails and it says to try again and it fails, repeat ad nauseum...
Is this ( .037 ) supposed to download ?
Ah snap, is my phone's update software broken ?
I assume this android bug will only go away with a factory reset...
Hmm...
Because fixes are cumulative, should I just wait a little bit and download December's update. I am assuming there will be a software update in December besides the security stuff.
Vote now.
Factory Reset -or- wait
You can always sideload updates using adb on a computer if the OTA is failing for you
Code:

Ug, ya I know, too many questions... lets try again...
Question: Is the .037 supposed to download ?
Yes
I would just wait. The December update was rumored to drop on the first. But even if it doesn't, it shouldn't take much longer regardless.

Because mine is failing to download, I must have a software glitch. Crap. Crap. Crap. Glitches do not magically go away...
Question 2 : Doing the sideload of the OTA after pulling it down . . . will it wipe me completely. Is there a batch switch to install-all that will NOT wipe the data area and allow me to retain my setup ?

Cool ! I like that idea. Will the newer update push in front of the glitched update ?

The OTA will not wipe, no flags needed. Only the full image will wipe, unless you use the flag.
I doubt your update system is broke, I suspect you just got a bad download. Next download will be fine I think. So sideload or wait for December.

Monthly updates usually occur on the 1st Monday of each month, which would be the 6th for December. Just curious, where did you hear this rumor that they were deviating from this process?

To be clear, are you rooted, or at least running a custom kernel? If yes to either one, you shouldn't attempt to take any automatic downloads. At worst they just won't update, such as you found out, or at worst it could break something, although still not catastrophic except maybe losing some data.
So, if you are rooted or at least using a custom kernel, you should turn off automatic updates in the Developer Options. And if you're not rooted and not using a custom kernel, then go with what everyone else said. Now if December's OTA failed to update your phone correctly and you're not rooted or using a custom kernel, then I would consider first just flashing the full factory image (whatever the most up to date at the time will be) while removing the -w (wipe) command from the flashall.bat.
Also, to complicate this reply even further, whether you're rooted or not, have you /or disabled verity and verification? If so, when you use the flashall.bat, you're going to want to put the disable verity and verification commands in place of the -w wipe command - otherwise you would *have* to wipe any time you go from either enabled to disabled, or from disabled to enabled.
Sorry for any confusion my reply may cause.
Do I need to root my phone before manually updating using the OTA file?

Thank you for your quick answer!
I'm starting to think 037 was pulled from the updator
I have several friends with h p6pros and only the ones who got their device early in the release received 037
I'm still on 036, however the updator no longer shows an update is available, edit: looks like Google only released 037 for select carriers

It was America only apparently. Everyone else will get it in December as normal
From Orange France is 036, from Google store is 037
Fingerprint improvement patch was U.S. and Japan only, if you really want it sideload it, it works perfectly fine
