Missing OTA updates - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't seen an OTA update since I factory reset back in June... I have manually pushed all my otas, it's getting annoying,. Anyone know why I wouldn't receive otas normally?

If you are enrolled in beta program but are using non-beta stock, you could try unenrolling from beta. My friend did it and he got an update instantly which otherwise he wouldn't.

There is no harm in checking.
Anyways, google improved ota system quite recently(around 1-2 weeks ago). When you manually check for ota, there is 100% chance that you will get the ota if it exists. It sounds too good to be true, but it is. Check that out.
So if you dont get ota, then something is really wrong.

I suggest you try enrolling and subsequently unenrolling from android beta program at android.com/beta
Maybe that will shift you to the proper ota queue?

Tried that, got nothing. Swapped from my VZW sim to my projectfi sim. Still nothing. Says I'm up to date. Really not wanting to factory reset....

No answer for you. Just wanted to throw in that my updates seem to have quit after manually pushing Oreo.

so ... is anyone still on an older build and not seeing any updates? my other N6P hasn't received any security updates since July patch.... am i stuck? how can i fix? i was previously on the beta but i can't find the page to un-enroll...

I joined the beta 2 days ago and never received any update. I'm going to have to reset and see what happens....

Definitely unenroll. No reason to be in the beta program now. Even if you are stock with a locked bootloader you can manually sideload a full OTA. There are many tutorials on how to do this.

i'm actually asking for my second N6P which my mom uses, which is why i'm hoping there's a way to fix this without having to sideload since i'd have to do it with her via TeamViewer....
is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to do this or can i just flash the latest factory image or OTA with the bootloader locked via ADB?

Linkk to the beta program is https://www.google.com/android/beta
Getting the OTA's fine. Latest one I have is September 5th, so expecting Octobers any time soon.

Guys, I mentioned beta program because you are supposed to UNenroll from it to get normal updates. Remember that.

It was just a suggestion. It didn't work for the OP either. I wonder what could be the real problem.
What carrier are you guys on btw?

Factory reset and the update came right away,. Something in my data was stopping it... We shall see with the next one if it comes automatically in November...
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I also haven't received an OTA update in quite a while. The latest update I was able to receive OTA is the August patch.
I enrolled and un-enrolled from the beta program with the hope that the Oreo OTA would push but only got 7.1.2.
It's a little unusual. I factory reset also after un-enrolling just to see clean it out, to get rid of any bugs that be preventing the OTA. Didn't work.
I would rather not have to sideload the OTA since I always make mistakes with ADB and command prompt.
I am on Project Fi fyi.

Do we need to leave the beta program to install with wipe or will it update over the beta do you think?

That's not the factory image. You can see the link you posted is OTA, not factory image like you suggest. That's just a direct download link to the OTA that others received after enrolling in the beta program.
Factory image page here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Factory OTA page here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
The 7.0 image nor OTA has been posted by Google yet.
@chrisnewton, you can update manually, here is the download and installation guide you would need.

[Q] Anyone on the 7.1.2 BETA BUILD received the final 7.1.2 OTA yet?

As the subject? ?
Wondering the same myself. I have not.
Someone did mention on an Android site that the beta users should see the OTA pushed in the next few days.

I think they prioritise all the older builds first then push it to us beta users ?

Doubt it will wipe. But you could flash the whole image removing the -w from the bat file.

I just got the 7.1.2 image OTA on my Pixel XL and Project Fi. My wife's Pixel hasn't got it yet.
Never used an OTA always flash image simple and no problems, I remember in the past sometimes battery drain etc after installing a OTA

I've been seeing delays in the Verizon rollout with this OTA, not sure why. I have a vzw Pixel however I'm on Project Fi and got the ota almost immediately. I'm not sure if that changes it or not, however.
We also need separate threads or disclaimers for those with locked bootloaders and those unlocked. To say just flash the image instead of sideloading the ota is ludicrous if the bl is locked. That simply can't be done.

Ahh right this thread was intended for people on the beta release ?
I haven't received the OTA yet, I'm on beta 2. I downloaded the update and tried to sideload it, but the installation failed because it says that the beta 2 is a newer build and it won't downgrade. I guess I'll just wait until the OTA from my carrier.

Oreo OTA Now you see it, now you don't

Very strange. I'm on DP4. About 10 minutes ago I checked for an OTA to the new official 8.0 build and hey presto, up came the Android Oreo update available message. When I hit download and install, I got an error message and now the update is no longer available. Just says I have the latest version. Anyone else experience this?
I joined the beta program today. My version is 8.0.0. Is that beta or final?

Mine is stuck like this, lol. I have a great WiFi signal and everything. Not sure what's up.
I have this and amazing Internet speeds.
Exact same issue here
Wonder if it's those that are on DP that are effected, anyone confirm they flashed OTA successfully via DP or N?
It has been removed and is supposed to be online again, that says Google. Waiting and relaxing
I'm now on the latest version according to the updates section. Meh, I'll factory install it in the morning.
According to other threads, they had problems with signature of the update packages being incorrect. They stopped otas, and are dropping them again, I believe.
Just a second ago the OTA was available again. Tried to download it and got the same error message as the first time around. Once again it has been replaced by your system is up to date. Some crazy weirdness definitely going on here. I think I'll try again tomorrow.

Ah, that would explain things.
I started a help session, and they said I needed to be unrooted for the OTA to be able to do anything. I'm going to try unrooting, but tbh I'll probably just end up flashing from the factory image.

That would be pretty obvious, you can't get system updates if you're rooted on literally any device.

I knew it wouldn't install, but it usually downloads it so that I can use Flashfire. This time around it seems that it won't even do that.
I have got 2 OTA URLs for build OPR6.170623.011/8.0.0 from my Australian Telstra carrier Pixel XL registered in Beta Program.

Hi all
im currently running on the latest update which is july updates with android 8.0 and july security. i havent got any updates. when i go on to check software updates it says "your system is up to date" with android version: 8.0.0. and security patch level: July 5, 2017. any help will be great.

Your best bet would be too download the update manually. Do you have access to a computer?

Manually update. Even if your bootloader is locked you can sideload a new OTA. Why wait?
Just leave the beta programm. Got the September patch 30 seconds after leaving. Also it won't make any difference until Google uploads the first Android 9 dev builds, wich probably won't come for the 6P anyway
I'd try to sideload the OTA manually if I were you. Using the stock recovery.
If that goes well then you are done.

I also had to unenroll from the beta to get the Sept updates.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I already unenrolled & re-enrolled in the beta once to try to fix my battery issues and it's stuck at the July update. If I unenroll it again, will it wipe the phone?
