For some unknown reason, my Phone did a complete reinstall of Android 12. I got the Update Notification and let it go, which took like an hour, with details on how I was being installed with Android 12 and all the cool things you can do with Android 12 now....
As in a factory reset also? If so, could someone have access to your Google account and wiped your phone?

No, it didn't factory reset, I just got the typical notification that there was an update and it had the whole Welcome to Android 12 with bullet points of features that came with Android 12. It was a 2.3GB Download.

Did you have the device officially enrolled in the Android 13 beta? Perhaps if you did and then you had unenrolled from the beta, they set it to automatically uninstall that OS and bring you back to Android 12 stable whenever the next A13 beta update released and was pushed - which was about a day before you posted this.
Just pulling at straws for speculation here, haha.

Good guess, but nope. I thought about it in the past but those beta releases are always so buggy that I chose not to

If something got messed up with applying your update to the second partition, and it somehow reset to a clean state, then you could end up the situation as described

It's possible that it comes today/tomorrow at some point!!

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:
edit...not Oreo

Wonder if changing the language to English US will force it to work like with phones. I'll have a play about tonight.
Also...from what I understand this is Nvidia Experience 6 and not Oreo. The new launcher is not yet here for the shield.

Just got the update. But it failed to install. It downloads the update and restarts the shield, but never finishes the install. Stops at about 20% on the Android System Update Screen then restarts back to the home screen asking if I want to install the Experience 6.0 update. Is it because I'm rooted? I don't have TWRP installed but I do have superuser installed....Tried 3 times.

I always remove root then do the update. No TWRP either but it would always fail on me.

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.

How did you update?
Did you get the update normally? I used a VPN to get it since it was not yet being offered directly. And now I have this bug as well. So I wanted to see if it's happening to everyone or just people who updated with a VPN.

It's not about how you updated, it's because of the used build which is the same like the first released beta build.

That's kind of the point of my question. Did me using vpn somewhy cause me to get the beta build for some strange reason or a mistake on their end? or is this build being OTA'd normally to other people as a stable update in some regions?
Anyone knows when is beta 5 is coming out. I tried beta 4 but had too much problems with it
Rumor has it that today it will launch since its usually the first Wednesday of the month but last Wed was right before the 4th. If not today, Perhaps August?
Gotta be soon with all the online chatter already about what it contains.

Just can't wait some good stuff coming along with it
According to the Android program overview, the releases of Beta 5 & 6 are scheduled in July! so it's inevitable that b 5 will be released this week...
Beta 5 is out
https://developer.android.com/preview/download
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-beta-5-rolling-out/
Downloading currently!
Yeah, I just got it and my phone is now quite screwed. Boot loops for a while, then drops me into recovery with "Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt." I get the option to try again (which eventually just dumps me back into recovery) or "Factory data reset". Ugh.
Edit: and the factory reset does appear to "work" though of course now I have a load of work to do to get things back the way they were. Oddly, the phone now thinks it has a different phone number. This is going to be fun. Also get fun things like "Settings keeps stopping". Yeah, this isn't going to be a good day.

And...the OTA was pulled:

"According to Google's official reddit account,*Q Beta 5 has been pulled*for all devices. No specific reason has been given aside from being "related to installing updates," and there's no ETA for its return either. We will keep you posted when we get more information."

Hi Nokia 8.1 users.
Did you also lost fast charging after update to A11? MY phone i charging very slow now and drain very fast
Dear all.
Just bought a used Nokia 8.1.
When I started it up, I did reset it to factory then attached it to the wifi (no sim yet) it updated to 11 (was still on 9). TBH I pushed yet without even realizing straight away.
There is no fingerprint option anywhere
At first I freaked out that the phone is a dud but I've seen multiple forums everywhere mentioning this problem but no solution works (multiple restart including safe mode, with or without screen lock setup, complete factory reset etc). The most obvious one is this one:https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/59389/fingerprint-option-missing
Should I give up and try to return the phone? (HArd - I'll probably have to go through paypal process) ?
Is it worth trying to install a custom rom? Could I downgrade to 10 or even 9?
Is there a command line query or even a dial code I could use to know whether it is a hardware issue or a firmware issue? If the former, I should definitively return it. IF the latter - then it would be unethical to actually return it
THX a lot
You guys know how to downgrade nokia 8.1 from android 11 to 9? Im having a lot of issues in android 11. thanks in advance
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

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 ?

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.

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.

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

From Orange France is 036, from Google store is 037
