Seems I've read 7.1.1 should support Verizon voicemail, have you tried? Maybe that's why " except Verizon"
[Nexus 6P General] 91ludesit:
Doesn't look like they fixed any of the nougat issues, at least from the threads I've seen come in. So I guess I'll have to stay on MM for a little bit longer.
[Nexus 6P General] ohlin5:
Not to be a prick, but quote from that article you linked :)

"The button is back, but its outward behavior certainly suggests the same basic limits are in place. The first time pressing it will pop up a screen with an animated bar to show it's waiting for a response. Subsequent taps will barely flicker the screen, suggesting it probably didn't actually call out to Google's servers."

Regardless, mash that F5 if one feels like it, or wait till an OTA arrives. Or just fastboot flash and be done with it ;p
[Nexus 6P General] nds850:
Flashfire doesn't want to flash the OTA over a newer version it says :/
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Woo hoo! Just side loaded the OTA! All the new features are great! I wasn't in the beta preview since I just got my 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] pipnmike:
I just read a comment somewhere that calling voicemail caused it to hang up immediately. Otherwise everything else was working fine for the user. I'm on DP2 right now and i have the same exact issue. I didn't have the issue in DP1 and 7.0 stable. Disabling the enhanced LTE option made voicemail work again. For now, i switched over to Google Voice for voicemail.
[Nexus 6P General] dmarden:
Nice, if that is the only reason for the "Except Verizon" thing, then I will go for it... I use HulloMail for voicemail.
[Nexus 6P General] Rorschach24:
Which features (from Pixel) we get with 7.1.1? Can you indicate?
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
So you just skipped this part? Lol.

The button is back, but its outward behavior certainly suggests the same basic limits are in place.

[Nexus 6P General] boxcar8028:
what pixel exclusive features made it over to the 7.1.1 for our N6p?
[Nexus 6P General] manup456:
Omg do you have the button? It won't call to the server if you already tapped it but one minute after that if you hit the button it will look again smh
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
None.
[Nexus 6P General] pipnmike:
Can't wait to go home to try it out. Sadly, since it seems like the OTA won't sideload for DP2 users, i'll have to enroll out of the beta to revert back to 7.0 and then load it at that point.

Use the factory image and flash with flashfire.

Does this work over DP2?
[Nexus 6P General] edd247:
manually flashed img's over DP2 in fastboot and working well so far
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Yes. Remember if you use flashfire to leave bootloader unchecked as it's dangerous to flash and may brick the phone.

Same 3.78 radio as DP2, same bug. Just revert to DP1 radio and it should work(tm)
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
Google more and try again. Anyways I'm done. Mashing check for updates does nothing any everyone has known that since like 2014. You can keep arguing the point if you want, though.

Here it is explained again;

https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/nexus/fOAWe8jMRsQ

And here's a newer update as of 7.1;

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...update-check-denies-cathartic-button-mashing/

Essentially, the way it works is;

Google rolls out OTA to 1% of users over the first 24-48 hours. They watch very closely for bug reports / issues. If all is well, the roll out to 25% of users. 50% after the first week. 100% after ~3 weeks. If you are not part of that 1% constantly checking for updates is useless. If you weren't a part of the initial 1%, then you will not get the update until they roll out to the 25%, despite how many times you mash it.

Weren't part of the 25% rollout? You won't get it until 50%, and so on and so forth. So mashing check for updates is entirely useless.

Edit: ^That was confirmed by a Google engineer, by the way.

Can I flash the modem using flashfire?
[Nexus 6P General] Atticustrd:
Thanks, did you use flashfire?
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
Chainfire advises against using flashfire for modems and bootloaders, IIRC.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Yes, I flashed with flashfire over dp2. I only flashed boot, vendor and system. I unchecked recovery and also made sure data was unchecked.

I am wondering if someone can give me a noob friendly explanation of how to flash successfully using FlashFire (to retain root), or if they have can recommend a noob friendly website explaining it so I dont have to reroot, if its possible.
[Nexus 6P General] Suhas_JS:
1. Download the factory image from here.

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-nmf26f-factory-ef607244.zip

2. Select the firmware option on FlashFire.

3. Select ONLY system, vendor and boot images. ***DO NOT SELECT BOOTLOADER OR RADIO***

4. Select Flash.

5. Wait for some time.

6. Might bootloop a couple of times. Do not panic.

7. ENJOY!!!

do we need to unenroll beta before we get the official 7.1.1 (currently in dp2)
[Nexus 6P General] maddog241:
I read somewhere that the problem is with Verizon's voicemail system. Are you able to call your voicemail and access it?
[Nexus 6P General] Vref:
I'm also on Verizon. Just sideloaded with zero problems. Made and receives calls just as before.

My guess about the "not for Verizon" thing is that the 6P was never approved for Verizon to begin with. Perhaps Google is just doing a "if something goes wonky it's not our problem cause we told you so but *wink wink* the phone will still work on verizon" type situation.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

Voicemail on Verizon has always been a cluster with the 6P. Since the phone isn't on their list of approved phones you had to disable VVM and go to basic VM just to get messages. That still applies. I just dialed into my VM (basic) and it worked just fine.
[Nexus 6P General] localh85:
Thanks a ton!
[Nexus 6P General] leebsammy:
Previously, I disabled visual voice mail because I was having the issue some of us had where I received those weird text messages.

However, since the first 7.1.1 developer preview if I dial my voicemail now it'll just end the call immediately. I had Verizon enable Visual Voicemail which works fine now.

tldr: I can't dial voicemail on 7.1.1. But visual voicemail works now. #Verizon
[Nexus 6P General] Vref:
Really? Interesting...I haven't tried VVM since the start. But I did dial into my basic and it worked just fine.
[Nexus 6P General] Tower1972:
Well I see there is a reboot option when holding the power button, along with Power Off.

Just wanted to add.. For the longest time my VVM never worked for me and I got those weird text messages for voicemail notifications.

Now that I'm on DP2 VVM and dialing both work for me.

Just waiting for the official update to come thru! Cancelled my preorder for the Pixel and decided to stick with the 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] Xplicit84:
For those on VZW with the update, try calling someone and see if you can leave a voicemail. Another thread here states that's an issue they are seeing with this update for us VZW customers.

I'd like some detailed guidance too please. Same as above plus some build.prop edits like renamed phone to Pixel XL.

Assume need to update sdk to new version?

Would i need to remove fingerprint security for backups?

Images to flash, not flash.

Thanks, know just enough to be dangerous so clear safe way forward info appreciated.

Download factory image to your phone

Open Flashfire.. choose>> flash firmware package >> choose the zip you downloaded..>> now you should choose boot + system+ vendor..

Then flash bootloader and modem via PC

[Nexus 6P General] neo905:
The whole point of being on Developer Preview is to guess what....Preview the finished product to address any obvious bugs before the official version goes live. You could have just stayed on 7.0 and not had any of the new features in 7.1.1. like many have to avoid some problems people have experienced being on a beta release. That said, it would have been nice if features like night mode returned but I guess I will be out of luck.
[Nexus 6P General] underwaterjr:
I side loaded the update. I'm on Verizon and funny thing I had to turn on visual voice mail to get VM to work. I was on basic voice mail before the update(only way VM work on 6p on Verizon.)
[Nexus 6P General] TechMillz93:
Where you rooted on 7.0?
[Nexus 6P General] underwaterjr:
No, I gave all that stuff up. Even relocked bootloader, wanted extra security and Android pay to work without the extra hassle.
[Nexus 6P General] TechMillz93:
So how come you had to sideload?
[Nexus 6P General] underwaterjr:
I wanted the update right now! And I guess because I could. Still like to tinker a little bit even if it's just side loading an OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] brasewel:
Download the zip file and extract all the files into some folder on your desktop. Go into the bootloader, and flash the necessary files (Bootloader, radio, boot, cache, system and vendor) from your computer using the fastboot command in a command terminal. Reboot your phone and once the phone boots into the OS, go back into the bootloader and flash TWRP again. Reboot into TWRP and flash SuperSU to keep TWRP. Reboot again into recovery and then flash the google velvet files to get the assistant back on your phone. If you did everything correctly, you should have 7.1.1 with root, google assistant and retaining your data.

If you want to make backups make sure you remove any security such as pins or fingerprints. I highly suggest making a backup in TWRP before flashing the new files.

I think Google is in bed now with Verizon because they are selling the Pixel at Verizon stores. I know it has something to do with that. Verizon is a big fat bully!
[Nexus 6P General] Ismo:
I am on DP2, rooted and set up for all the available Pixel exclusives (Assistant, home screen, search, Assistant home button, etc.). I never used FlashFire before, so couple of noob questions:

Is it wiping anything during the FlashFire OTA update? If not, is it just a straightforward update and my Nexus will be in the state like it was before? If it wipes, what is the recommended, less painful and quickest method to restore everything? Or is it worth having this OTA over the DP2? Is it more stable?
[Nexus 6P General] Edgio60:
I used Flashfire over DP2 with Pixel mods. Use it to flash firmware package, select boot, system and vendor only. It preserves root for you. Then just reflash your (updated) Pixel mod through TWRP. You can always wipe later if any problems but it's been fine for me.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
OH the wait of the anticipated boot is horrendous. Must persevere...

edit:

shame on me. I did the flashfire method specified on post 71. one reboot and a long boot image of the old boot animation. then there she was. up and running. rebooted back to twrp and flashed the google pixel mods as specified and then Flash kernel 4.0. all worked like a charm. booted back up and modified my build.prop for tether allow. worked too. that was too easy.
[Nexus 6P General] krntehknik303:
Do you need to unenroll from the beta program to receive the official update?

I found the recovery partition gets overwritten after side loading the OTA.

I reflashed TWRP and rebooted. When I tried to boot into recovery (TWRP) the flash had not held. (Did this twice, same problem)

After a third attempt I booted into recovery after flashing instead of rebooting and TWRP launched. I immediately flashed Super SU so I don't know if this is part of the process of getting TWRP to stick.

This is weird. I always get my update within hours of the news of the rollout. I am enrolled in the dp program and always get them but for some reason I still haven't gotten the latest one? Has it been pulled for the 6p for some reason?

It's still up. You just have to wait.

If you are rooted, make sure you select the option in FlashFire which says "Preserve root and recover".

OTA not working

Trying to sideload the update from stock, unrooted NBD91K with adb. It's failing with the "cannot read" error. I'm running Windows 7 with adb 1.0.36. Downloaded 3 times, verified the checksum, tried 2 different cables on 3 different USB ports. Am I missing something? I successfully updated to NRD90U with this exact same setup back in September.

EDIT: A separate minimal install of adb 1.0.36 finally did the trick
[Nexus 6P General] dape16:
Isn't it just battery degradation? I have had this happen on other phones and the only solution has been to change the battery.

My 6P also dies at around 15 % sometimes. According to AccuBattery my battery has lost 14 % of it's total capacity in one year's use. Don't know how accurate that app is, but there is no doubt that a battery degrades over time. The more heat it's exposed to, the quicker it degrades.

Thank You I think i did not select Inject Supersu apart from preserve root which were two separate two checkboxes. Thats why i believe the update happened but now there is no root. I will root now using SU version you suggested.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

THank you for suggesting best practices in this area. I did that this time.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

So steps I followed:

Step 1: downloaded 7.1.1 (NMF26F, Dec 2016. All carriers except Verizon)

Step2: Extracted angler-nmf26f in separate folder

Step 3: Further extracted image-angler-nmf26f.zip and moved content to top folder above and deleted zip

Step 4: Copied the top folder to phone Nexus 6p internal memory

Step 5: In flashfire add actions one by one in sequence system, vendor and boot

Step 6: Then selected preserve root but did not chose interject Supersu option

I hope i followed steps correctly and did not flash anything. Pls correct If i have missed something?

The root however is gone and hence will manually flash twrp as suggested by flash Superuser SU v2.78 via TWRP. Just trying to figure out steps.

Thanks...Any comments / suggestions welcome.
