Be happy that you have fully working software. Major problems have been introduced in the October Security update, and even more problems are in the Oreo beta. I'd recommend staying on 7.1.1 August.

It might be that in your region updates aren't available. If you're willing to take the risk, you can try registering for the oreo beta update. Personally I haven't had any issues with my phone, but that's me. You might not be so lucky

Problems? I understand that in Oreo beta you can get more bugs but what are the problems with 7.1.2?
Thanks

I'm talking specifically about the background tasks bug. Search the forums, it absolutely cripples the phone and requires a reboot twice daily to keep the phone running normally.

But it was going to be fixed in Oreo, right?

Unfortunately it isn't fixed in the Oreo beta, neither is the SMS receiving bug (although that can be resolved by installing a third party SMS app). The Oreo beta has also introduced a load of Bluetooth problems (connection issues, poor quality audio, remote buttons not working).
It is currently not known if HMD will actual fix the issues in the final Oreo build.

I have never experienced any of these issues.
One thing I wonder is what if you rolled back to 7.1.1 then upgraded straight to oreo beta (if that's possible)? I'm just wondering if the issue doesn't have something to do with 7.1.2

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Great news tnx a lot for this info
I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).
I'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

I checked mine about 100 times manually then downloaded full ota and flashed it using FlashFire app yesterday.
Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!

last update (October security patch) is out

Last build for shamu (N6F27M) is available :

I'm out of the office today, anyone want to let me know if there's a new radio or bootloader?

Looks like bootloader is the same but there's a new radio, at least for Verizon.

Worked fine for me. If you have modded your rom, then OTA will often fail.
I've been sideloading the OTA updates for months. Since Google made the check for updates function actually do something, thought I would go that route this time. It worked and immediately offered me an update. How can I verify that it's going to install NGI77B and not N6F27M? I'm on Verizon and currently on NGI55D.
I tried capturing a bug report and looking for the OTA link in the file but am not finding it. Maybe I should just sideload it.

I guess that if your Verizon sim is in it, the "right" ota will automatically be downloaded

I bought N6 in October last year and have been using custom ROMs on it since day one.
First PureNexus and now currently DirtyUnicorns.
I plan on moving to LOS once nightlies start rolling out.

I was getting monthly security update notifications on my Nexus 6 while using Verizon, however that stopped since moving to T-Mobile in April/2017.
I'm staying stock for now, because it seems easiest to maintain Android Pay, Snapchat compatibility, etc.
Does anyone have a recommendation on which build to use if I sideload? Would that be "N6F27M" since the other October release states "Verizon" ?
EDIT: I went ahead and sideloaded N6F27M, which seems to be working fine with T-Mobile thus far.
- ooofest
Does N6F27M include security patch against new hole in WPA ?
No, it will be in November security patch but it's not sure that Nexus 6 will receive it...
I'm on Fi but my phone doesn't give me the opportunity to update N6F27M, it does not show that there is an OTA available.
Could it be that the phone was a Verizon overstock which I flashed to NGI55D manually when I first bought it?
I suppose I will have to sideload the OTA.
Edit: Never mind, it finally came through.
November security patch is out for pixel and 2015 nexus, no new build for our good old Shamu so we will have to keep it with Krack security breach or install custom rom...

Is OP5 getting a KRACK update?

Just wondering.
Google is patching it in a few weeks for their Nov patching. I hope Oneplus takes it seriously and we see it soon after. Id say sometime in December
That's included in the monthly security patches. It all depends when Google release the patch and when OnePlus releases an OTA with said patch.
Custom ROMs should getting fairly fast though.
According to androidcentral.com, this issue is fixed in the November, 6th 2017 security patch (n the 4.5.13 OOS upadate, the security patch is September.). The best thing to do is to wait for this patch to be deployed by oneplus and use only mobile data in the meantime
As far as I understood it's a problem within wpa_supplicant. Isn't there a chance to fix this with, e. g. a MAGISK Module?
Omnirom 7.1.2 released a update today, its fixed already

It's on the latest update, kinda stupid that it's not Rolling out to everyone at the same time
Yes, it's fixed
You can get OOS 4.5.14 right now if you use xXx's no limits OOS based ROM
But if you want to stay on stock waiting is the best thing to do

If you are running stock unmodified OOS with stock recovery, just download turbo vpn on playstore and set your location to Germany. Then check for the update, you will get it right away. No need to wait!
I think people are saying the 4.5.14 update has the fix (don't quote me on this though)
Now that the latest build fixes this Krack issue, Moderators can close this thread.

How to get back the oreo update?

I have received the OTA update for Oreo. But decided not to update right away because i know there's some bug/issue about the oreo. And today i decided to update my phone, but i cant find the update anymore. I tried to check the system update but it says that im on the latest update.
I tried to clear data of the google services framework, and restart the phone. Still nothing. I also tried to spoof my location to U.S. still nothing. I also tried to use VPN (HMA VPN). But still nothing. Can anyone help me? I want to update to oreo withouth factory resetting my phone. Thanks!

Clearing google framework is not good idea. Anyway, there is no other then to wait till it pops up again, it seems that Xiaomi has suspended the update.

What will happen if you clear data the googles framework? I do that because i've read some thread here about that to force update my phone to oreo. Anyway. I will never do that again.
Did xiaomi suspend the updates? I hope not. Coz im sure im not the only one whos not upgrading to oreo. By the way. Thanks mate.

I got my phone on 7th January and got the December security patch on 1st startup, but I am not getting the oreo update.
I tried all the methods mentioned in the forum to get the update but I did not get the update after that I did a bit of digging and found out from some members of mi forum that the update has been temporarily suspended but the reason is still unknown. It is assumed that some people are facing some bugs after the oreo update and after a factory reset the fingerprint gesture is not working.
Many people who have not yet updated or have recently got the phone have to wait until the roll out is resumed by Xiaomi.

Yes, i did some research too. I think Xiaomi stop or suspending the update. I think its because of the bugs reported and they want to make it more stable in the next update. I just hope that i receive the next update without a problem. I was too excited on oreo update because of Arnova's pixel 2 camera ported.
I have also tried but don't get link from 24hr for update

The ported pixel 2 camera would not work as a1 does not have camera2api support.
You will have to root your device to get camera2api support.

[Help] Unable to receive any Ota

Hi,
before upgrading to January Oreo patch i was rooted with magisk, when i recived the notification of the update, disabled all the modules and restored the stock boot.img, then i installed magisk on the second slot for rooting the update and i rebooted.
When the device started i realized the is was with oreo december patch
Since then i can't no more receive any update through Ota.
I flashed the first nougat build in a desperate attempt of fixing my device but even with that i solved nothing, currently i'm on 7.8.23 build and it can't find any update.
I've checked my imei is it was in any blacklist but nothing, it's clean.
I've serched everywhere but i haven't found nobody with my same or similar problem.
Please don't answere with something like try to clean google framework data or do a factory reset.
Currently I'm desperate my only hope resides in this community.
thanks so much for any help!

Either wait for the update, because there are yet many people that haven't received yet, or wait for Xiaomi to release latest fastboot rom and flash it with Mi Flash.
The issue isn't the fact that i haven't received the latest January update, i can't receive any ota, as said, even from the first build it don't find anything.
I now, i can flash through fastboot or MiFlashTool but I'm trying to fixing my issue not pretending to forgot it.

The truth is, that Xiaomi temporally suspended all updates due to amount of bugs. Also try restore your phone with Mi Flash and latest firmware version ( Android O) from http://en.miui.com But as I said it is Xiaomi's fault.
Thanks so much for the help,
Yes my imei still there, i know the issue with ota that xiaomi had but i guess that at least i should be able of seeing something, i can understand not receiving the latest update but i don't get anything at all.
I hope there isn't nothing wrong with my phone or at least something i can fix.
Again, thanks for the support to everyone

Trust me that I feel your pain? Since I was playing around with flashing beta versions of Oreo and hard-bricked my phone twice. After second restoration of the OS no OTAs. So I thought it is because of false OS they put on it. So I flashed official Oreo through MiFlash but nothing yet so far. Meybe you or me can ask Xiaomi what to do or what is happening.

Sure is. It shouldn't be called Android One phone. The phone itself is great but software wise it is horrible. We are still not fully on 8.0 but there's 8.1.1 so Xiaomi should finally do something!
