Thanks for the link, trying out sideload now.
Edit: Works like a charm.

Do I need to be on stock to do this? I'm currently on PureNexus and test this tonight to see if it fixes my audio issue. Not sure how to go about this.

For those on the Rogers Network does NOF26W enable VOLTE in your Pixel?

I'm noticing a lower overall volume.. noticeable when watching youtube videos and spotify for example.
NOF26V/W apparently fixes the audio clipping while @ max volume... though it is confirmed it doesn't completely fix it. See here for example: https://twitter.com/WinDroidGuy/status/829519070563143680
But just wanted to post to get reactions from others about the max volume before/after taking updates.. specifically on the Pixel, not XL.
How many others are noticing this?
*edit*
thanks to @serialtoon for pointing it out - https://twitter.com/serialtoon/status/829766889526030337
seems it was changed:

A firmware update is available...

Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?
Devs?

Are you running a custom Rom or stock? If stock, what is your current software and firmware version.

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software number: 1.27.531.1
Images attached.
They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Downloaded and installed on my stock X, and it seems fine - other than a repeated "Unfortunately, Moto has stopped" message after boot up. Anyone else on Rogers seeing this?
The Moto app opens fine, though it seems to be missing driving mode now?
Got the notification last night. Haven't taken the plunge yet.
Hoping this means the ATT version isn't too far off

In case anyone else faces this, it was resolved this by clearing the "Moto", "Moto Actions", "Moto Display" and "Moto Voice" app data.
[edit]
One annoyance is that the LTE icon constantly flashes on/off while I'm at home - it used to switch between LTE and HSPA. Anyone know of a way to revert to the previous behaviour? The constant sliding of notification icons as it appears and disappears is distracting.

I think I captured it before updating using OTA snatcher, but it weirdly says it's build 212.etc instead of 222. However the size of the file (695) matches the 5.1 OTA.
Plus the inside of the zip looks like the leaked 5.1 soaktest I had seen, so I think it's the one we're looking for.

Trying to install it as I write (OTA failed, I must have forgotten to "restock" something), will keep you updated!

Yeah with OTAs they are named by what they are updating so it is 5.1. If it fails that means you're missing something stock or have root or something not stock. So factory reset and try. As for the poet issue...we all had to through it. Just go around other forums. Post and just talk about stuff and then post the link. What is the name of your OTA?
Is it me or did the on-screen buttons gets smaller?

Blur_Version.212.144.12.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA.zip
I went back to stock using the 4.4.4 RCI I found on a filefront folder with all the Moto X stock FW that was posted on this forum (no link, sorry ) and then accepted the 1.2 mb minor OTA. The one correcting the audio on emergency calls on first boots. This one installed itself without any problem but the 5.1 didn't.
I tried disabling xposed and stuff for the verification to work but it failed. I had flashed the new framework to make the new Moto app work some time ago (I really wanted to name my phone Félix), so it was probably blocking the OTA update. So in the end I just used RDS lite to flash everything back to stock (after doing a backup ofc) and then it worked. Yayz.
And yes, I think the buttons are a bit smaller. I've had the uncanny feeling of my screen being bigger.
The lock of the active notifications is also a tad smaller and "rounder".
3/10!

Does anyone know how to modify the signal status icons (LTE, 3G, etc) next to the signal bar? I'm not a fan of how Rogers opted for the larger icons and use 3G instead of H and H+. I've tried using the Xposed module SignalIconsAOSP and all it is able to do is make the icons smaller. It's not able to switch the 3G icon to H/H+.
i used xposed framework and gravity and that took care of it under KK. I am not sure about Lolipop yet
The easiest solution would be to always be on LTE, ofc.
However, I'm with a rogers xt1058 and it still uses H and H+ instead of 3G (unless I have really bad coverage), so I'm not sure if your problem comes from Rogers' choice of icons or Rogers' coverage... (See below)
Otherwise I know the brazilian stock firmware for the Moto X has different icons than Roger and can be installed on Rogers' xt1058 (I installed it and kept it for a few days before finding stock Rogers FW). It displays 4G instead of LTE and it's quite smaller than the huge LTE. Didn't pay attention to the 3G though.
You could give it a try I guess if nothing else works. The only inconvenient is that the only system languages are English and Portuguese, so if you want to yell at your phone in French like me it may be a problem.

Yes, still Marshmallow. Oddly, this one is named differently than the last couple monthly security updates. It does follow that mid-July performance numbering system.
The 6p is still on 6.0.1 too. So don't get too discouraged!

Can anyone tell me the difference between MMB30W and MOB31E? I was going to sideload the September OTA, but not sure which one I am supposed to use. Haven't found any details anywhere. I'm currently on MMB30R, but I hadn't noticed there were multiple images released each month when I've sideloaded until now so not sure if I'm supposed to be on that image or not?

MMB has the radio that the carriers have agreed on, it's for their own version of Marshmallow. MOB has a newer radio. If you sideload it anyway, use the most recent.
If I am currently on M0B30W Project Fi, I see there are two builds below mine...which version below would I update to for the security patches safely if I'm stock?
6.0.1 (MMB30W) or 6.0.1 (MOB31E)

Either one will work. They are exactly the same except for the radio. The MMB images contain an older radio that carriers have approved and the MOB images contain a newer radio that hasn't been approved by carriers yet. You could try the MOB image and if the radio performance isn't up to par you could extract the one from the MMB image. I've always used the MOB images and haven't had any radio issues, but I'm not on Project Fi...

If you're not in the Beta program itself, I'd say there's 98% chance no as the update is tied to your Samsung account. The OP states that he'll upload any future Beta updates, though. Of course, you'll always be able to flash the official Oreo build once it's released (probably without wiping data.)

Probably, since the account and Beta are tied to your IMEI. If not, you can flash back to unlocked and upgrade again. You won't lose your Beta status unless you leave the program.

This is simply a system dump and doesn't contain the bootloader and modem. We'd need the full OTA for those and we can't get them without root. As you've probably noticed, even the gurus at Sammobile haven't posted it yet because it'd be EXTREMELY difficult to catch the OTA even over your own network. I was able to post my Band 46 screenshot because I'm actually in the Beta program.

I was able to post my Band 46 screenshot because I'm actually in the Beta program.

Wait, is Band 46 enabled on this 7.x.x update, or only on Beta 8.0?

Only beta 8. Running latest 7.x update with Oct security patch and 46 is not enabled.
Apart from wifi-calling and the usual Tmo stuff, is what's the difference between this and the U1 Oreo firmware?

Beat me to it. Folks, this is just a system dump. Unfortunately, without root, I cannot access the Cache partition, which is where the OTA zip file is stored.
I'm posting system dumps to encourage anyone and everyone to dig through. Hopefully we can find an exploit or some tidbit. I never bothered with the sampawn. While I am very grateful for the time, effort, and energy that went into that root, it's not a true root. When Oreo drops we're back to ground zero.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
- Polish: That's partly Google. Partly Samsung. Battery battery life. Things open faster. Etc. And I dirty flashed too.
- Battery Life: Took my phone off charger 16 hours ago and I have 40% left. Screen time 3hr. I heavily rely on my phone every day. Team communication apps, research, navigation, etc. No games. Could be different.
- PiP: Awesome. I had Navigation open earlier today and switched to Music to change songs, a little floating window with my navigation opened. PiP works with Google Maps!
- Band 46: Hasn't been fully initialized in my area, but signals are definitely much more stable.
- WiFi: More stable. I can reach 5G band at further distances. Likely just cleaned up code that's making these work better.
- Small UI changes, such as people edge is more glassy.
Oreo is well worth the patience. I'm only encountering small bugs here and there. It's very stable. So I'd say, maybe Xmas we'll have Oreo. Could be wishful thinking, but I'm hella impressed. This **** is smooth. Only thing I hate is the stupid emojis are the same as before.

You should post it just in case someone knows how to do it.

I would upload it Like I normally do, but know one was able to figurere it out last year for the Galaxsy s7 edge.
 @tengtengvn and I tried to figure it out. You can see the forum here.

I have been looking into the the S8+ Ota and noticed
Code:
patch/system/bin/tinycap.p.,.ÓõSBDIFF10×.
SBDIFF. If we can figured out how they SBDIFF the OTA against the 7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD firmware. we may be able to flash it.
I also noticed the OTA .bin file has to zip files concatenated together. the first zip only has one file in it called metadata and it is just text.
Code:
ota-type=FILE
post-build=samsung/dream2qltesq/dream2qltesq:8.0.0/OPR1.170623.026/G955USQU1ZQJJ:user/release-keys
post-timestamp=1509361774
pre-build=samsung/dream2qltesq/dream2qltesq:7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD:user/release-keys
pre-device=dream2qltesq
If some people show interest I may upload it.
