This is automated; it runs on my server. It doesn't rely on manual updates, so it should be pretty quick (the script checks every 10 minutes). Let me know if you have any issues with it. I have a channel for each Nexus device if you have others; check my signature for the full list.

Great idea, very useful.. Thanks
Very useful indeed, Thanks.

Could you make one for OTA files? I still have a locked boot loader and don't have time to spend resetting the phone again for the sake of flashing an update :/
Interesting. I have a 6 I purchased with my activation of Fi. My build number isn't listed on that Android page. I've got Build LVY47H
Very nice. No longer need to spam refresh the image page

Unfortunately not. The reason the script can be automated is because the factory images page has a set format that I can compare against--essentially, the script determines if any of the individual device tables on the factory images page has changed, then it grabs the new version text from the table and pushes to the appropriate device. There's no official source for OTA builds, and even though they're hosted on Google's servers they have randomly-generated URLs so I can't programmatically check for them. The best solution would probably be to subscribe to the factory image update channel, then check XDA every so often after a new build comes out to wait for someone to post the OTA update itself. Sorry about that!

Yeah, I saw this post yesterday then looked around for that build. Looks like it's a special build that's only on devices directly purchased from Fi at the moment. If it ever gets added to the Nexus 6 list on the factory images page it'll pop up on the channel, but if Nexus 6 Fi devices have their own set of factory images I'll have to add a separate channel for them, which is no big deal. Nothing I can do at the moment though unless/until Google changes something on their end.
As a sidenote, is your device codename shamu like a normal Nexus 6? If you don't know for sure, you can check by going to Settings --> About phone, then tap "Send feedback about this device", then tap the small "system information" link. Scroll down in that window a little bit and it's under the heading "Device".
Thanks for the detailed explanation, I hope that the OTA comes soon... Then again, I'm probably due a spring clean factory reset of the phone anyways ... I just don't want to, it takes up about half a day to configure! (I'm no longer a rooter and modder)
Is it still working? Can't see the MMB29K being posted there.
thank you

This looks like a great idea, but I don't see any updates newer than last October. Is this dead or do you not consider the security update releases as factory images? I installed the MMB29S image in early January.

Sorry, Google changed the format of the page and I'll be honest, I completely forgot about this script since it was self-sufficient for a long time. I'm working to update the script, should be fixed tomorrow.

I just got the new pushes and all is well with the world again. Thanks!
Just curious if you don't mind me asking, but what script are you running on your server that queries Google's site and how did you get that connected to your Pushbullet channel? I'm thinking of doing something similar elsewhere but I don't know where to start since I'm so new to scripting.
Great job, using it for a few months and it works really well, is it possible to have a channel for Android N preview?
Great job, man! :good:
But... it didn't work with the last update of yesterday, October-03, at least for the Nexus 5 & Nexus 6 channels...
Maybe it's due to a change in the Factory Images page, with that new "Acknowledge" button next to the text "I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions"?

After your great write-up on rooting 2.2 I have no problems testing your programs however when I click on the sign here link it asks me to sign in with my gmail account and I am weary about using my credentials through a link thats asks for that first. Can I pm you my email for testing? Thanks.

hmmm, everyone should be able to see and edit the list.... no matter if they are signed in or not...
I was able to edit spreadsheet without being logged in.
As for the program, it works good for me. I haven't accounted any bugs.
except suggestion: make it so it only has to check environment once, it takes a little bit to run the check everytime.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I also thought about, what if they copy it to another computer, or they uninstall something, the flag would still be there saying the environment is clear, even when it's not. I will definitely take this into consideration.

Just tested the program and everything looks good.
It's a good alternative to re-installing htc and sprint apps when the user has deleted them and didn't back them up.
Haven't tested the push to phone option yet and will have to make a most recent nand before I do.
I saw this posted somewhere a while ago but can now no longer find it.
There was a # XXX XXXX XXX number or something that had your phone query or get added to the google servers queue so that it could possibly get an update sooner.
Tried searching around but I'm likely not typing in the correct terms.
*** I think the code I saw was for the Epic but could have been for the EVO I suppose since I had that for a while, sorry if that's the case ***

me neither..i think an update needs to be available to get it...if i dont get an ota tomorrow ill try it again
going by the way these updates are frying sd cards and internal memory on other phones...i'd be wary to be frst one to try.
Has anyone ever tried the check-in dialer code (*#*#2432546#*#* or *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) on an Epic? I'm not seeing any results whatsoever, it's like I've typed in an unrecognized / incomplete number-- which I suspect is exactly the case.
And for anyone who's ever had success with it, Epic or not, does it give any indication or confirmation when there's not an update available? In other words, are my results to be expected when an update is unavailable, but once an update is available it will acknowledge the code and indicate as such?
I thought this was a GSM only code, then an HTC only...but I think I'm wrong on both...

I understand it isn't going to magically make an update for me thanks. But as seen on that page there is usual visual feedback indicating a successful checkin.
Either way I did not see anyone successfully do it with an Epic, so maybe it's just an htc thing or something else.
well, I just did a ##RTN# (on stock, unrooted, unmolested eclair) then entered my MSL.. waiting for full reset here to check for the update..
I'll report back once it's finished.
EDIT: ok, it finished. no update for me yet.
The title says it all. Am I the only one that lost the the changelog pulldown on the update screen in the playstore? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. It was one of the best additions with true time saving functionality to the playstore IMHO. I haven't had it in some time. Deep down I was hoping that it would magically reappear.

If you mean the "recently updated" section? it is still there for me. You may want to update your Store app, the new one has "play protect" and I don't see that on your screenshot. My version (not beta) v8.1.73.S-all [0] [FP] 165518514
EDIT: just noticed in your sig you are still on 7.1.1? ha ha I also have the N7 Flo, running LOS 14.1 current weekly.
Thanks for the reply. And yes I haven't updated since i got received a new phone from huawei due to the bootloop of death.... I figured I would wait for the bugs to get worked out of oreo and start there! My playstore app is current at 8.1.73. The picture is dated but it shows the pull down dialog that I am asking about. It allows you to see the changelog without having to open up the individual app page. Please don't criticize my excellent MS paint skills.....

LOL. 8.0 is the bug fix for 7.1.2. Smooth sailing here with 8 on several devices. Did not really appreciate what you were talking about before, but then I have never pre-inspected the changelog.... just auto update everything without looking first. If one app is of interest I read the changelog as its downloading, but that's rare. If I were you I would install 8.0 and not look back.... after all why did you buy a Nexus device, if not for anything but security updates which this month in particular is very important in light of the wireless 'BlueBorne' attacks. Best of luck to you.
There's 10,000 slots available instead of the Sammobile reported 7500 slots available. Once you click a few agreements, you get in automatically but then nothing happens. You have to force the update by going into Settings\Software update. The update happens normally then. The settings menu has changed quite a bit, Oreo is MUCH snappier (especially reboots), and some icons have changed. The warning in the last screenshot comes up automatically about 20 seconds after each reboot. Good luck getting in!!! :highfive:

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.

Sure, you could flash the modem if anyone could get the OTA but I'm pretty sure it'd be quite difficult. Since we're not rooted, you'd literally have to catch the OTA transmitting over your WiFi network onto your PC and then extract it. Which reminds me....
@bogdi1988 - Perhaps it's not showing up for you because you're not connected to a WiFi network. Make sure you're logged in to your Samsung account in Galaxy Apps and that all your Samsung Apps are up to date (the only way they update is when on WiFi.) Then check the Samsung+ app to see if it shows up for you. Hope this helps.

I updated hours ago and have rebooted several times since updating. I don't think I'd have a chance of finding the file name at this point. It would've been best to start a logcat right before initializing the OTA.

My "upgrade" did not go well. Turns out that package disabler pro is not playing nice with this update. I kept getting Android system has stopped and couldn't even load the main home screen. I gave up finally and hard reset and resintalled all my apps. I also had a pretty bad problem with the battery draining faster than it was charging on a wall plug. Factory reset was a pain to reinstall everything (still ongoing as I need apps, I reinstall them) but the battery issue has disappeared. Can't tell if WiFi is any better. Opinions on this release would be most welcome.

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.
Samsung+ never showed the update to me. Oh well. :crying:

LOL, that wasn't a "complaint" that was an observation. As noted by the no complaint and an observation comment. As far as not noticing it's a beta, would that be between the 15 or so times per minute that the software pops up a warning that this is beta software and may not work as well as expected and may cause problems? That not obvious it's a beta message? Also, the bad battery drain was an issue. That shouldn't happen no matter what.

Not the live message, I have that. There is a gif option on the keyboard from other carriers. For some reason AT&T left it out.
In developers options there is the ability to change Bluetooth Audio Codec to SBC (default) to Aptx, Ldac, etc. If you change that it doesnt stick and it resets itself to SBC. Bummer.
Also the only option that does seem to seem concerning Bluetooth and Developers Options is Bluetooth AVRCP Version. AVRCP 1.4 is default but changing to AVRCP 1.6 seems to stick.
Meant to post this last night. Here's screenshots of my for full use of the OTA Oreo. I'm a teacher on spring break so I messed around with it a lot yesterday getting all my settings and apps set up.

Don't know what's worse... badges with wrong numbers or badges that don't come on at all. I get none at all. And I even factory reset before I took the update. I got no clue, even after spending tons of time digging through settings
