[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] thegman979:
After updating to Android 7.0 Nougat on my G5 (LG LS992) all my app icons changed. See attached picture for examples. The LG apps that come installed by default got simple, unique, all white backgrounds(the phone, contacts, and messenger icons at the bottom). User installed apps get one of seven new, all white backgrounds. I place one of each background type on example picture. Some of the backgrounds seem to be in the shape of a letter. There is no discernable pattern to what apps get what backgrounds and I can't find any information about these changes anywhere, no one else seems to be talking about it. Is anyone else seeing this?

[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] Vepaot:
I had that same problem and it was driving me nuts because it actually showed those icon labels behind the custom icon pack I was using. I was able to change it by changing the group of icons I wanted to use. I think I did it in Nova Launcher's settings. So if you're using a 3rd party home screen, check to see if you can change it there to Marshmallow's icons, or the system default or something.

I have a Google play Store phone, but since I have a Verizon SIM it installed the Verizon firmware and so I have to wait until they release. I had hoped this wouldn't happen with Verizon stating they would release the same time as Google, but here I am.

Eager for this update!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AmesCell:
Are all 3 on the same version now?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jz987:
I am in the same boat... It should be available shortly (or so I hope). No reason to believe otherwise this soon after release. :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AmesCell:
I guess it looks like O is for the V version. I wish they would just label this stuff every time.

OTA is up.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] guaneet:
7.1.1
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JAYNO20:
Can this OTA be flashed over NPF26J?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] guaneet:
New features are also included
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaxenroth:
From JCASE:

dePixel8 has been patched with the 7.1.1 update. Please dont ask for further support.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
The full factory images are available so yes. Just remember to remove the -w command from the script so it won't wipe your data.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JAYNO20:
So the OTA can not be flashed over it then? I am asking about specifically the OTA not the full image.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
I didn't try, sorry. I'd assume it'd work but I couldn't be sure as I already flashed the full image.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] guaneet:
Try it out and let us know ?

I personally do fully images. Only have like 6 apps installed lol pretty quick set up
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Yes it can. I just did it without problem.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrbobrowitz:
Hey all, quick question and sorry if this should be in a different section...

I have the VZW Pixel, but used beups depixel8 for bootloader unlock. I am running stock NDE63V with a T-Mobile Sim. Can I flash the factory image with leaving out the bootloader? Or can I go ahead and just flash the whole image without the -w command.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jawmail:
Installing now, this better fix my lack of bluetooth in the car or I'm going to be sad.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
Just take out the -w. I just did and all is good. ??

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrbobrowitz:
Great! Just to clarify:

You had a VZW Pixel with the bootloader unlocked, stock Google firmware image and you just fastboot flashed the new image and its all gravy?

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
Yup, also running on T-Mobile.

If I am rooted with TWRP and custom kernel, what is the best way to install this OTA and keep these things?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JAYNO20:
No problems with boot-to-root after this OTA, I assume?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tdimarzio:
Yes. I just did it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JAYNO20:
Answered my own question. Works just fine. :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vapehooka:
I use a Google pixel phone from store on total wireless that uses Verizon's antennas and I get my updates directly from Google . The update is the same as the one Verizon puts out .

The reason is because Verizon's network is a different radio on CDMA and it's not the global radio other carriers use . I keep my data off and still get the updates via wifi ..

My HTC m8 phone I use to use has not gotten the past updates at all .. that's because total wireless doesn't send updates and neither does Verizon on total wireless.

Hopefully they fix the bugs in the poor handling of antennas on this update.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xeroday:
I have the same question. Tried to flash using `fastboot update image-....zip` but got

writing 'boota'...
(bootloader) Flashing active slot "_a"
FAILED (remote: partition [boota] doesn't exist)
finished. total time: 1.044s

Verizon, bootloader unlocked, TWRP
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] computercarl:
Update fastboot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ssgtob1:
I am having the same issues with this that I did with the other OTA, cant flash with adb sideload. I get verifying update on the phone but the command line says failed to read command: No error and then the phone restarts. Google search of no good help
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zanoli99:
I am rooted with TWRP and Franco Kernel. Steps I did to successfully update via the ota

1. fastboot stock boot.img

2. sideload the december ota

3. reboot back to bootloader and flash twrp img

4. flast twrp zip. automatically boots to twrp after image flash

5. flash supersu r4 zip
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xeroday:
Thanks that did it.

For those who wondered, here are the full steps updating from Verizon, TWRP, bootloader unlocked and not lose user data:

1. Download factory image (not OTA) and unzip

2. `adb reboot bootloader`

3. `./flash-base.sh` (linux/mac) or remove `fastboot -w update` line in flash-all.bat and run (windows)

4. Unzip image-xxx-xxx.zip file.

5. Within the image-xxx-xxx folder, delete userdata.img (if you want to keep your sdcard partition)

6. `fastboot flash file file.img` for every file (`for x in *.img; do fastboot flash `basename $x .img` $x; done` on linux/mac)

7. If you want TWRP + root again, `fastboot boot twrp.img` and then flash TWRP and SuperSU zips
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] docluv01:
Just out of curiosity, with the 2 below methods, is one better than the there? seems to me the OTA method would seem simpler, no?

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

you don't have to flash the kernel again right?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zanoli99:
I did because would not sideload via TWRP for me.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tee aiy emm:
This is how I updated without any lost data. Starting with Verizon phone, NDE63X, TWRP alpha 2, and ElementalX 1.0.0 kernel.

1. Make sure adb/fastboot are updated

2. Download and unzip NMF26O factory image

3. On Windows, in flash-all.bat, remove '-w' from the the fastboot update line. The resulting line is "fastboot update image-marlin-nmf26o.zip"

4. With USB debugging on, reboot phone to bootloader

5. Run flash-all.bat. The phone will reboot 3 times. The entire process takes about 2 minutes. The last reboot will take about 5 minutes.

6. Install TWRP per instructions on TWRP thread

7. Install ElementalX per instructions on ElementalX thread
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ssgtob1:
Any advice for my issue with failed to read command: no error? Google support cant even figure it out
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] docluv01:
I always confuse this part, do you flash root before or after the elementalX Kernel?

TIA!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JAYNO20:
Anyone have a list of exactly what this OTA contains? I see it still has the double tap to wake, lift to wake, and December's security update, but what else? This OTA is like 600mb bigger than the Canadian OTA so there's gotta be something more in there.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
This OTA is bigger because it's a full system OTA. The Canadian one was an incremental (from V).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tee aiy emm:
Someone can correct me on this, but I don't think it matters if you're using supersu.zip and install TWRP first. I would install TWRP, SuperSU, then ElementalX kernel.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerreth:
I have successfully sideloaded the new ota and got twrp and supersu but elementalx does not work it simply boots to recovery everytime you tell it to boot to system.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hochoch:
Thanks for this - I've been searching all over for a good explanation of what to do since i wanted to be certain that there wasn't any weirdness with the A+B partitions.

What program do you use to modify the flash-all.bat file? Notepad or wordpad?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tee aiy emm:
Either of those will work fine. I personally use Notepad++. Make sure you Right Click->Open With or open the file from one of the file editors instead of double clicking it. You may inadvertently run the script before you're ready to.

The flash-all.bat will flash the new image to both partitions.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
If I have a Google pixel XL with TWRP & SuperSU installed can't I simply flash the OTA in TWRP, reflash TWRP and super SU?

Edit: No is the correct answer. Errors on flash
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth781:
In the last 20 minutes It came live for me OTA. Was not there an hour ago. Google phone with Verizon simm installed. Big one 263.6 M unlocked bootloader but nothing else changed. Installed no problem

Just checked and I have Google phone with Verizon sim, update downloading now, not on Google firmware page yet, will report version name when it installs.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Sorry if this is a dumb question! New to the pixel..I've been with the s5 for a while so a lot of this stuff is new to me. Curious about 2 things.

I have a Verizon Pixel running NDE636. I have already unlocked the bootloader. I see people mentioning flashing the Google image.. would that basically make the phone the same as if I would have gotten it straight from Google? Meaning now I can flash updates right from Google and not have to wait for Verizon to release them??

My other question is about the new update getting pushed out today. I am guessing this is safe to install since I've already unlocked the bootloader? I haven't rooted yet or even used the phone much so I'm not worried if I have to wipe. How would I go about installing it? Would it make more sense to flash the full image or just the update.

Thanks!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ahent:
Interesting, it shows 7.1.1 NMF26O, are they no longer having a Verizon version? Also, I have not noticed any major improvements in signal on Verizon LTE band 4 I was averaging 110-114 dBm in my house and I still am. Using LTE Discovery.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shacocka:
Quick question... What's the difference between side loading and flashing everything without the -w?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
Has anyone with a pixel not affiliated with Verizon on anyway actually got this update over-the-air
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mdonnelly1127:
Sorry for the noob question but is this the same exact process you follow if you just have an unlocked bootloader only with no root or TWRP? Also another noon question how do you edit the -w?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shacocka:
I have. I had to go in and manually check.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tee aiy emm:
Yeah you can follow 1-5. You can edit the script in any text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
And it was the same build that verizon is getting?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mdonnelly1127:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
What is the build number
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mightym83:
can i sideload the OTA with elemental kernel installed? I thought i read somewhere i had to flash the boot.img first then sideload the OTA. Does the same go for flashing the factory image?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shacocka:
Haven't loaded it yet. Will when I get home. If you don't mind me asking, why does it matter?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tee aiy emm:
Did you download the OTA instead? You want to download the factory image from the link in the opening post.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
Just wanted to be sure there is only one build this time
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mdonnelly1127:

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

You need a PC.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shacocka:
Well I can't because I'm rooted and unlocked so I can't wait the OTA. I'm reading now though that the build posted isn't for Verizon?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cantsingh:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ahent:
Yeah it blew my mind when I got NMF26O. I have a play store phone but Verizon SIM which pushed the phone to the Verizon firmware. So are we moving to a single firmware now?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] prot-:
I cant understand how you sideloaded the ota if you had TWRP? how did you get the stock recovery back to sideload?

You have to flash the factory image without -w , no?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vapehooka:
Seems the update broke the hotspot work around completely with the refresher app .. it doesn't do its job anymore and it looks like the picture flare issue are less obvious after hdr does its magic . And my Verizon CDMA signal seems stronger than before while not connecting to a weaker antenna most of of the time
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
You have a few options:

1) Flash the factory image, removing the -w in the flash all script

2) Flash only boot.img from a factory image, and then sideload the ota.

I have been doing #2. So from android:

1) adb reboot bootloader

2) fastboot flash boot boot.img (using stock boot.img from the V factory image)

3) From fastboot, reboot to recovery

4) adb sideload ota.zip

5) From recovery reboot to bootloader

6) fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] prot-:
Ahh step 4 i thought was just a command to run from pc when in recovery, but you need to select update from adb from the device itself first! got it :)

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shacocka:
So, there really is no difference side loading vs refreshing everything via the flash all file (which never works for me... I have to flash everything manually)?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
Cant this ota update be sideloaded through twrp recovery ? Or do you have to have stock recovery ? If so can you just flash stock recovery over twrp recovery then sideload the ota ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] trace1er:
I have a Verizon Pixel XL, using T-Mobile service. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the V software. Everything is stock. Should i be seeing a notification of the OTA update? Because I keep checking and still nothing....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FSOP:
Got the OTA in the UK last night. Google store unlocked model
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
The end result is the same. The road to get there is different.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shacocka:
Gotcha. Thank you :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Traqic:
According to Google, the update was released but it is still the job of the carriers to deliver it to the phones. I am on T-Mobile and haven't received OTA notification either, checked it constantly. If I don't get it by later today I will probably just flash the update as soon as I can sort through all the information on here. I feel like there isn't a one stop shop thread for flashing everything, or at least they aren't up to date and it's a bit frustrating in these early stages.

I'm okay with stock at this point but I need DTTW with the fingerprint sensor being on the back.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] trace1er:
Yea keep refreshing and still nothing for me either. I'm wondering if flashing the V software on the Verizon variant of the Pixel while using a different carrier actually prevents you from getting the OTA.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Traqic:
Doubt it. My point was that T-mobile might not yet be sending out the update.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Kulwinder Singh:
*deleted*
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ahent:
I had a Motorola XPE and it wouldn't get the updates until I took the Verizon sim out then connected to WiFi. Maybe try that to see if you can force the update.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ssgtob1:
I am on T-Mobile, on V. Can't side load, fastboot, and no actual OTA. Maybe my new rma phone (misaligned screen) will be able to get it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] trace1er:
But this is not a T-Mobile branded phone, they should not have anything to do with when you get a software update for a Pixel i believe

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Thanks for the suggestion, this didn't work either. I know I can easily fastboot the OTA file, but wanted to try to figure this out for future reference is all.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Traqic:
You have a t-mobile sim, so updates should be coming either directly from google (rep said no) or directly from carrier (rep said yes). It's one update for all the phones so it shouldn't matter.

Try removing the Sim card and then searching for update. I just updated mine through ADB with no issues to avoid waiting or removing sim.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JimSmith94:
I have never heard of flashing the boot.img before sideloading the ota, is this new? If so, it might explain why I got "error: device (null) not found" when I try to just adb sideload the ota.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
The reason for this is because if the device is rooted, the ota sideload will not work (because it will detect changes). Flashing a stock boot.img will enable the sideloading to work.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JimSmith94:
Aha, thanks for the info, I learned something today! I never had that problem on my Nexus 6 and earlier phones, but did on my 6P and now on my Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tedkunich:
Took the OTA last night and found the call quality on V sucked this morning (at least for the hour long conf call). Sounded like the vocoder was bit starved... sorta how the GSM phones sound in a poor reception area. Could have been just a V thing, but I'm keeping an eye on it....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
I'm on a Project Fi phone with Project Fi as my provider.

I clean flashed V and checked for updates.

None yet and it's been about an hour after I set it up new.

It's already been said in this thread that non-VZW phones are getting the update but I wanted to see for myself before I start working on the O update.

It's very good to see all three (Euro, USA & VZW) combined into one image.

I do have to wonder how much more VZW bloat we'll see on non VZW phones now though.

Already had like five VZW related APK's on my non-VZW freakin phone.

EDIT: ~five hours later and still no updates available for my V.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] trace1er:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I'm by no means a novice when it comes to flashing/modifying my phones. I tried to flash the entire 7.1.1 firmware last night. I have the latest SDK. When I do flash-all it flashes the boot and the vendor and then gives me an error saying it can't open the zip, there is not enough space. Plenty of space on my PC and my device. I'm sure I'm missing something simple but can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Anyone have any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I just used the Skipsoft tool kit and it worked fine. Up on 7.1.1 with TWRP and SU.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mightym83:
make sure you don't have duplicate files in your platform tools folder. I had extracted my factory image folder in platform tools and when i tried the flashall.bat it said i did not have enough space. I checked my folder and found one file i had a duplicate of. In my case i still had the factory image folder along with the extracted files in there.
