Looks like there is a new update coming.
https://9to5google.com/2016/12/05/android-7-1-1-update-ota-nexus-pixel-december/
Interesting that it is coming to Verizon pixels but no factory images from Google yet. Curious to see if both models will always have the same updates or if sometimes Verizon models will have specific ones.
This is just the january patch due to be released on the 2nd of Jan

For the official NMF26U update, the Verizon article can be found here https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/google-pixel-update/
Nothing listed here https://developers.google.com/android/ota to this point.
Would be curious if anyone took the update?

Dont think it was released. Usually security patches are released first monday of every month. Not sure why there is a delay

I'm guessing because of the New Year's Holiday the push was delayed. I would suspected it would have come out today. So if it's not out yet, then I'm maybe next Monday. That's if they stick with their current deployment scheme.
Two versions just posted, NMF26U and NMF26V.

Haha that was fast :laugh:
I'm on NMF26O. Nothing shows when I click check for updates on my phone. It's Verizon phone with root running on TMobile. Should I go ahead and sideload NMF26V?
and "NMF26V" is international?
thats the question, how can i identfy which one is my OTA file from Europe, version NMF26O
Not sure which version to use. Google phone on Verizon.

Probably U.
In the past on the Nexus devices the earlier letter is the general release and the latter was for some specific carrier. My bet is the V version is a continuation of the Q fork from last month for some overseas carriers.
Edit. Over in the XL forum VZ customers and Vodephone are getting U OTA.
Just a heads up, I don't know if I did something wrong but I sideloaded the V update and now lost root. Let the phone boot after updating, fastbooted TWRP, deleated fstab, flashed SR5 and nothing but bootloops. I can reflash the V OTA and get my phone back but can't get root. At least not with SR5. Going to try flashing the U factory image (if it will let me) and see if that fixes it.
Edit:
Reflashed the V OTA, booted TWRP, flashed SR4, deleted fstab, flashed SR4 again, and phone boots fine with root.

I got the OTA U on a Verizon phone activated on Project Fi. I'm thinking unless specifically you know to use V then the U update is the way to go if you want to sideload.
Google updated the image site, V is for Europe/O2 and U is for everyone else.

I tweeted at them, said we needed to know. Baring a denial from Google I am going to take credit for that change. First time I ever saw them do that!

Well since you have their ear, perhaps you can tweet them to update the OTA images with descriptions. Only the full images have that. Not that it's hard to deduce but since some people sideload the ota rather than wait it might be nice.

I used 2.79 SR2 and didn't have any problems.
EE simlocked uk versions got nmf26u, i'd think if you have nmf26o then you have the current version for your carrier, which carrier is 'o'
is there a way right now to get the bootloader unlocked on a verizon pixel xl...... 7.1.1?
Well it's that time again VZW put out a new OTA anyone taken this yet what does it fix and is it worth it and I think all of us will be wondering is will it lock your bootloader Its unlocked
Me too, I got an OTA notification today, update size is 823.5 MB, don't know what build it is.
I have VZ Pixel, unlocked, stock rooted NMF260 with VZ service. Is it safe to install updates ? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

I think your safe I doubt Verizon would lock your bootloader. That would wipe your device again
@Shiftydogit, @azn6929 got hold of a screenshot? If yes, pls share.
As you can see OTA notification
My guess is it's probably another patch or possibly a kernel update who knows or bug fix one of the three
Here it is

So one of you said you are on nmf260. That is December. So i doubt this is a "new" update, you are just behind. Google only releases on the first Monday of the month. VZ uses the same exact releases. There is no special VZ version.
Update away.

That's the crazy part. It is the exact same as what Google released in December. The Pixel's are different...they are only using Googles updates. No changes, no bloat, no nothing.

They are at the link below, posted the first Monday of each month. Dunno how you get them on an unlocked phone, I know it is doable...just dunno how.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
EDIT: LOL, I'm an idiot. The instructions are right at the top of the page I linked to.

You'd just download them then sideload the OTA via recovery or you can flash it via fastboot/ADB but if you have TWRP installed fastboot will replace it with stock recovery
OK so with update my phone lost TWRP and root other than that bootloader is still unlocked and everything seems fine
Also build number changed after update OK then
If you are getting a new Verizon OTA, it is late. My Verizon Pixel updated to NOF26V (Feb security patch), weeks ago. NOF26V is the most current image for Verizon Pixels.
I updated. New build is NOF26V. Everything seems to be fine. But root is gone. lol
Can anyone tell me what the most current build of Android is for the Moto g5 plus ? Currently it's showing build 7.0 January security patch NPN25 137-33
I'm used to just FastBoot and Nexus/Pixle devices so Motorola is a change for me , does Moto have an image site or somewhere I can download factory Images from ?
Sadly no. You have to wait to get the OTA directly, or for someone to capture a compatible one and post it here. I'm retgb and have exactly the same version as you currently with a January security patch.

Im sure you have already seen this but if not https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/npn25-137-33-stock-firmware-t3577081
I just got the device so I'm going to spend a few more days learning about it till I jump into flashing but it seems pretty straight forward like NEXUS Devices are .

Yeah sorry I just meant there is no official firmware listing so you're reliant on people posting links here. Also there's a bit of a minefield for us as there isn't one standard device/software channel across the whole world like there is with Nexus devices. I really miss those days, but the Pixel was just too rich for me.

That has been my big question, I'm on retus and with several different versions being posted, will I ruin my modem or make some parts incompatible if I sideload? I am not rooted yet but I'm frustrated being on the same(??) version you are.
It's already 5 days. I am waiting for someone to upload second soak zip of update. I have lot of questions people who sideloaded are not getting second 7.1.1 soak update. What will happen with them. I am one of them and waiting answer! Please someone capture provide capture OTA zip.

I like stock, too. Hope that we get future updates. Otherwise it would be very bad. And LOS 14.1 is not what I want, but would be working surly.
Really no zip file? That's crazy. The earth has so much people on it and there is no one person who can get this second soak test update and post it here. That's just amazing. Maybe on other planets are people with update zip file? What's with the mars people?
No Mars people yet but I heard over 1k volunteers are available

Motorola should offer the update on her server. Google do this for her pixel phones, too. So what? There is the possibility to update over adb sideload, but no official zip files to update. But, this new update is not include 07/2017 security patch. So, do we really need this? We should wait for the next full update, stable release. That should be save to sideload, right? Full is the best.

Sorry, I prefer customer roms over waiting for the Mfg. to play catch up. I found custom roms will give you more up to date security and more options than the Mfg. will offer.

That's not the latest. Branding software can not be updated to latest 7.1.1, or? Just retail can be flashed to soak test.
Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why one isnt getting certain updates?
The only available update I have is the December 2017 one, but afaik that one is riddled with bugs, and I don't rly feel like risking it. The January never popped up, yet alone february and march one. I've tried all those possible "tricks" with Google Services, from data clean up, signing up for the beta program, factory reset; nothing worked.
I've been told by the support to wait for the batches to arrive; 3 times now.. On the Mi Forums I've been told to sacrifice goats to Chthulu.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Download and flash the fastboot ROM by Mi Flash Tool.

You are probably on nougat. You need to update to the december Version (oreo preparation) and then you can update to march from there.
The OTA updates are incremental updates from a specific firmware version so you have to go through the sequence of all the updates. You can't just jump over several in one go.

Special in a sense of being mentally challenged; self degradation. Don't worry, I'm not being condescending ?
