Why on earth all of you people are talking about joining the Beta program now that BOTH factory images are available and the OTA itself as well?

Simply either sideload the OTA or edit the flash-all.bat file and remove the -w trigger.

Make sure that if you use the modified flash-all.bat file you will retain your data but will lose root and custom recovery, AND! if you will flash stock boot.img your file system will be encrypted as default.

I am not rooted and did not unlock the bootloader

I have many things and restoring app and their settings is a pain .. especially when they are not saved by google
[Nexus 6P General] kk12002:
flash official ota file.

u wont lose any data or need to unlock bootloader

https://developers.google.com/android/ota#instructions

see instructions.
[Nexus 6P General] mic141414:
Thank You!
[Nexus 6P General] levyitay:
I have Nexus 6P International bought from Google and running on T-Mobile network, should I wait for TMO image or can I flash the ota from Google?
[Nexus 6P General] LaughinGoh:
So this is the same as waiting for the OTA update from my phone and would not erase my data or files. Correct?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] kk12002:
This page contains OTA binary image files that allow you to manually update your Nexus or Pixel device. This has the same effect of flashing the corresponding factory images, but without the need of wiping the device.
[Nexus 6P General] PeterJP:
Does the OTA binary contain the necessary partitions for Treble? As I understand it, the hardware specific code and oem code should be in a separate partition for a true Treble configuration. I currently have a TWRP/Commotio/FK flashed but I'd like to convert it completely to Treble to futureproof it. Is that possiblem

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
No. The 6P doesn't support Treble.
[Nexus 6P General] PeterJP:
Ah, and because Huawei is so "good" at updating their Android versions, we'll probably never see it. It's a shame, after buying into Nexus for the after sales support, but fortunately, the community here is great. Thanks!

Verizon OTA

Anyone get a specific OTA for the 6P on Verizon or is everyone using OPR6.170623.013, Aug 2017? The phone is on Verizon, but the build is N2G48C which isn't Verizon specific.

https://developers.google.com/android/ota#angler
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Has nothing to do with this. The phone is two years old, only brand new phones are supporting treble.
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
Only new phones that are released AND come with Oreo, must support Treble. I don't think that even Pixel supports Treble, but I may be wrong.
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
Pixel phones do support it, as well as a couple Sony devices.
[Nexus 6P General] ccstra54:
Wanna get prepped for the OTA next week, and want to start "fresh".

My plan:

Backup the phone (including personal files- photos, music, etc.)

Wipe the phone

Upload OTA, update phone

?Factory reset phone?

Root phone

Begin reinstalling aps, uploading files

Anything I'm missing? Is this the right order?

[Nexus 6P General] GroovyGeek:
I too get a bootloop when I install O. Tried three ways: download the OTA from Google servers and install with Flashify. Or through TWRP, or to take the OTA from Google. All bootloop me. Back to N for the moment.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

I am getting notifications of the 8.0 update being available, and there is an OTA image posted at the usual location, but it bootloop me. I wonder if my phone is somehow confused or Goggle had made a mistake since the zip file has a very unusual structure, with files I have never seen before.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

Downloaded the OTA from Google servers, there is no flash-all in it. Very unusual file structure, bunches of. Img dukes I have never seen before. Downloaded a second d time to make sure I did not screw up. Same deal. Can someone post a link to the OTA that worked for them? The file I am looking at is https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-ota-opr6.170623.013-517abdd6.zip
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
Well there's always that option to download the full factory image and extract the images and fastboot the images on your own.

Or, use the full factory images, and then use the flash-all.bat file.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
You must be complete stock for OTA.

You don't flash-all an OTA.

At the top of the OTA download page, there are specific instructions on how to apply an OTA. https://developers.google.com/android/ota

You should always check the hash of your downloads before applying.
[Nexus 6P General] one7dchevy:
anyone getting strange graphical glitches when pressing the home button to exit an app? I get a large black square that vanishes very quickly. I cleanly flashed the images via adb, and set everything up fresh. I am using EX Kernal and rooted with Magisk..

Video here: https://imgur.com/a/Y2ne2
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Not me. It appears you are missing the animation where the Chrome/Google screen slides down and out and that is accounting for the brief blackness (the time it takes to slide down). I'm stock, locked, not rooted, clean install from factory using flash-all.
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
Don't use flashify or twrp, use fastboot, I though that was explicit.
[Nexus 6P General] ccstra54:
Bump*-
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I'm a big believer in clean installs on version changes.

Backup the info you want to keep. Download factory image. Read the instructions at the top of factory image page. Download latest Platform Tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html.

Run flash-all.bat. It will automatically wipe your phone, no tinkering with Nougat required beforehand. No need for factory reset.
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
Same here

Clean install of the factory image, then installed the apps and restored data if/when needed.

All is hiccup free ever since.
[Nexus 6P General] ccstra54:
Thanks, folks...

So, wipe, install, root, reinstall apps/data? Or install, wipe, root, reinstall?

Also- where's the latest factory image? Will I need to sideload it (from my computer), or directly download it to my device?

Thanks again!!
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
You've gone way too far:)

1. make sure you have ADB on your system

2. Download the factory image file

3. run the flash-all.bat file

4. Let it boot and be patient! it is longer than usual to boot after a clean install.

5. choose to restore your apps from google cloud

6. let it finish and reboot.

7. Voila! enjoy your new clean Oreo OS
[Nexus 6P General] ccstra54:
Yup! Followed the directions exactly... and now I have an Oreo'd Nexus, shiny and chrome.

OK, next question... which ways do I twist the halves of the phone if I want to lick the tasty oreo filling first? :D

Thanks, everybody! <Dr. Nick voice>
[Nexus 6P General] adhya:
I did clean install from factory images, but my download folder is behaving weirdly. It's duplicating itself on file manager, and sometimes the files inside not readable. Anyone have this problem too? :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I don't have the problem, but did you note that one download folder has a lower case d, and the other an upper case D? Stock android creates the upper case D folder. My guess is one of your apps created the lower case d folder.
[Nexus 6P General] adhya:
Yes, but files inside them are the same. Also the path to both folder..
[Nexus 6P General] Edgio60:
I have the same problem but haven't figured out which app is doing it yet. If you delete one of the folders, they both get deleted.
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Today should be the day. Anyone on Fi get the OTA yet?
[Nexus 6P General] Friedsonjm2:
No, and I can tell you, the run-around from both Google and Fi 'Customer Support' on Oreo for Fi was disappointing, to say the least... and I'm a BETA tester, and supposed to get the final 'early!'
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
PigVomit is correct. You have one or more apps using a small case download folder when the Google default is capital D Download. Find the app(s) and fix it yourself. Another thread on the same topic here. [MENTION=4678169]Edgio60[/MENTION] (you too)

it's not stable rom. i had big issue after flashing this rom.

1. random auto reboot itself

2. some service draining battery power in the background. more thn 10% of battery power drained off for no reason within 1 hour.

3. some apps can't be use after migrated over.

tested OTA & factory rom is having the same issue.

downgraded back to 7.1.2

I recieved a new 900mb update for oreo 8.0. is there a new build available? I already flashed factory image via adb

odd enough, I've also got the OTA but it ins't on the factory images site.
[Nexus 6P General] MattSkeet:
Got the update today despite being on 8.0 already (from factory image) how to install this on rooted device
[Nexus 6P General] kk12002:

Anyone else received a 991 mb update?

The OTA I received was 991 MB. Weird seeing 36 or some MB updates here. I just update via flashfire! I still retain my root access too.

Thanks for the ota.. But I lost My twrp and root :crying:
[Nexus 6P General] levyitay:
Anyone installed the OTA on T-mobile network?

Device was bought from Google though...
[Nexus 6P General] winter.k:
0.19 on T-Mobile

Yes, I was running 0.13, and have now updated to 0.19.

0.19 runs fine, but I know it's not optimized for t-mobile network or wifi calling yet. I am seeing connectivity to t-mobile LTE band 12 (700MHz) in addition others.
[Nexus 6P General] levyitay:
Is that good or bad? :)
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Anyone on Fi get OTA?
[Nexus 6P General] metartur:
OTA 8

Hi, got a 6P with bootloop. Stock 7.1.2 with locked bootloader :(

Can't get into recovery that easily. When doing it from bootloader it goes into bootloop. Tried the old freezer trick and it kind of works. I can get into recovery and pick sideload from adb.

Tried twice to sideload OTA 7.1.2 and OTA 8. In the first case got an error before checking the zip file (can't recall exactly what was it). When sideloading OTA 8 I get status 7 error.

The phone is 100% stock.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
sound like a dire straights.. perhaps a corrupted zip file which messed up your device.

If nothing else work, go for a full factory image clean flash.
[Nexus 6P General] metartur:
can I do this with locked bootloader? If so, can you please give me a link with instructions?

Thx.
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Sounds like the BLOD. If you can get it to boot at all when cold, get into Dev Settings and toggle "on" the Allow OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. Have you tried the full OTA that came out today (OPR6.170623.019)? Even bootloader locked you should be able to flash that from the stock recovery. It is not an incremental OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] metartur:
I'll try and let you know.

As for cold boot, unfortunately it wont boot the OS :( It's still very interesting that it will boot into recovery only when cold (6-8 hours in the freezer, less than that it will not).

At least I can get into Recovery. I'll give it a shot with the latest OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] Aeyelaeyen:
Did you also loose your data? I want to use this modified ota but I want to keep my data intact
[Nexus 6P General] akashkyh:
I didn't loose my data.. Just the root.. I just had to re root.. Rest time :)
[Nexus 6P General] mousefai0922:
seem some user are able to install android O with flashfire and retain root but the android O itself have bug/problems

probably i should keep using 7.1.2 for now
[Nexus 6P General] HenryLolsen:
I am on August 8.0, with TWRP and magisk root and just got the update notification for "Android O" (the ~900 MB one).

What is the easiest way to safely update to September 8.0 without loosing Settings/Apps/Data etc.?
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
There's no easy way beside using the OTA someone post here to be flashed with TWRP. In that process you will lose root/TWRP/boot.img which isn't much if you go straight to bootloader, re-install TWRP and magisk in order not to get your device encrypted.

FlashFire won't work with Magisk, first hand experience.

Eventually got tired waiting for the full factory images to appear so flashed stock recovery image, removed Magisk, ElementalX kernel stayed and the update was done cleanly.

After I have completed the OTA update, straight away rebooted to bootloader, run fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>, then rebooted TWRP and installed magisk 14.0 again.

Had to clean Magist cache and data since the manager was FC when I was checking the app list which was granted root (superuser list)

Anyway, now it is all working.
[Nexus 6P General] ashensii:
I unzipped factory image zip, flashed stock recovery.img, downloaded and installed ota, flashed twrp and magisk back and everything is working fine.
[Nexus 6P General] itay347:
Reading through the replies here, it seems like most people downloaded the update and installed it manually (or through the beta program).

I got the 8.0 OTA a few moments ago (I didn't opt into the beta program), but I have yet to install it.

Currently in the google developers website there isn't a non-PR download yet... so I'm not sure if I got the final release of 8.0.

I have 2 questions:

1. Is there anyone else like me (no beta, no manual install) that got this OTA?

2. Are there any major "day-one bugs" I should know about before installing the update?
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
What did you use to flash twrp back after installing ota? Computer or ff or flashify? Did you use twrp to reflash magisk or did you do them both at the same time somehow?
[Nexus 6P General] ashensii:
Flashed with computer, fastboot. Then reboot to recovery and then you are at twrp, after that just install magisk zip.
[Nexus 6P General] ChrisB92:
I manually updated to 8.0 a few days ago and I've just received an OTA update for 8.0.

Seems the security patch has been upped to September and the build number is OPR6.170623.19

Thanks, kinda want I figured.
[Nexus 6P General] Giozer:
I have a rooted Nexus 6P with TWRP and SuperSU 2,82. I received today the update to Android Oreo.

How can I update my Nexus without loosing the root and data?.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
Already been asked..

If you're rooted with supersu by chainfire , you can try his other app, FlashFire to install the OTA.

Not sure if it works all the times some had luck with it.

Or you can unroot, revert to stock recovery and update. Later simply re-apply root and TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I'm on T-Mobile and was not offered to update to the latest security release. I sideloaded the 019 update and the phone is functioning the same as on 013.

Given all the news circulating this morning regarding the BlueBorne vulnerability, probably a good idea for everyone to update ASAP. The vulnerability is reportedly fixed with the September update.
[Nexus 6P General] Bangincrazy:
I still dont understand why the OTA factory files say not for T-mobile. I have never used wifi calling nor do I care about it. Time to download the OTA and update
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
OMG. I totally forgot how long it takes to reboot on a new flash. I decided to wipe my device and go back to a nice clean install of everything. Fastboot the entire factory image. Still booting. Ugh it takes forever to see new goodness.
[Nexus 6P General] lurker316:
Flashed the OTA yesterday. Everything Stock. The only thing I've noticed is that videos in the Facebook app are sort of pixellated . Like they aren't hardware accelerated? You can choose higher resolution videos but the pixellation is evident. You'll see.
[Nexus 6P General] tropical cactus:
Flashed September patch OTA via flashfire. No wipe but still lost half my mods and apps. Did a factory reset and sim card couldn't be detected. Had to restore a clean back up of August 5 Oreo, re download OTA and flash again via flashfire. This time, it went ok. First time flashing OTA via flashfire. Think I'll stick to fastboot clean install.
[Nexus 6P General] RaceFaceXC:
what looks like the T-Mo/Fi/USCC public release of 8.0 - Oreo is up on the google OTA image page.

Its build is - OPR6.170623.017, Sep 2017

I've been mashing the Check for update button for a few days now, was on 7.1.2 with the July update. Yesterday I got the OTA for 7.1.2 with the August update (30 something GB). Stock setup on Fi and not in the beta. Still mashing for OPR6~.017 update now...
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Don't give up on FF. Download and use the full image instead of OTA. Takes 3 minutes tops every month, and you won't lose anything including root and custom recovery.
[Nexus 6P General] newkydawg:
I just used FF ver. 0.72 on 2 rooted, twrp'd, supersu'd Nexus 6P's and flashed the full factory Sept. 2017 OPR6 image that was published this morning. FF worked like a champ. Just don't update the bootloader and radio with FF.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Just a heads up for folks.....

If you were (rightly so) paranoid about BlueBorne and installed the 019 OTA, you will not be able to install the 017 OTA over it as Oreo won't let you install an older OTA (017) over a newer OTA (019). I tried.
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
Actually if someone is really keen on installing the 017 version they/he can simply use the factory image full version.

Just weird, all this matter of versions by Google.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
thanks for the heads up. flashing this now.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
....unless you're paranoid about security (I am) and your bootloader is locked and you don't want to lose data in a factory reset!
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
UGh. been fighting with this device all day. I had it all setup with the first version of the Oreo (sans the sept patch). I had magisk installed, safetynet all happy and had pay working. I had all my data up and apps installed and ads blocked even. I was good. then I tried updating and that is where the wheels fell off. I have redone everthing from scratch and still cannot pass safetynet with magisk installed. I just redid with a full wipe and went back to SuperSU root which is where i was yesterday before magisk. going to go that route again. hopefully it will get happy.
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
I'm having the same problem. Had it working on August update. Had to do a fresh install of September update because was stuck on Google screen trying to manually fash in fastboot. Now I can't get safetynet to pass either. I've tried everything just about. Let me know if you figure something out and I'll do the same.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
Will do. it is currently restoring all non root needed apps from the play store. I have SuperSU installed and am rooted. once I have all my apps up I plan to:

1. full unroot with Super su

2. Install magisk via TWRP

3. reboot, open magisk, adjust it for systemless root and then check safetynet again.

hopefully in the next hour it will be done restoring my stuffs and I can test it.

Earlier today just after I flashed the latest with sept security, i had CTS failed but the other check at the bottom was green.

im beginning to thing there is something else in the safetynet checks that changed with the Sept updates.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Update. did not work. full safety net fail. back to not using android pay. oh well.

I have the CTS failed but the data integrity is green. tried all number of solutions.

Should I flash factory image or full ota image to go Stock from SuperXE using FlashFire? Anyone tried this before?

Will it wipe the internal storage?
[Nexus 6P General] ALUOp:
I sideloaded the 017 OTA and now Android Pay is broken now. It says "Android Pay can't be used on this device.....you need to unroot your device".

I'm stock and have never rooted on this 6P.

Anyone seeing the same problem?
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
Just flashed the newest ota .019 via ff. Magisk now passes checks. Go figure.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
Did it pass prior? Please tell about your setup? Did you have magisk prior?

How did you install the ota? Was it truly ota or did you sideload the ota?
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
First I did a fresh install of the Oreo August update with the Flash-All.bat command. Magisk work fine. Android Pay worked fine.

Then I did a fresh install of the Oreo November update with the Flash-All.bat command. Magisk SafteyNet ctsProfile failed. Android Pay won't work. I tried just about everything with no results.

Then I noticed a OTA update. Downloaded the update. Adjust Magisk to allow Global something in settings. Then FlashFire the .019 update, Also selected to flash Magisk installer at end of OTA install in FlashFire. Reboot. Magisk start passing SafteyNet and Android Pay worked.

Edit: Was a real OTA. No Sideload. All done on the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] VSTOLL:
I installed Oreo without problems, after the update finished, I cleaned the cache, just to be sure, but, my battery life is weird, I think the doze is not working, I left my phone idling for quite a while and the battery graph didn't changed.

When you say November, you mean september? Did you go back to the August (ends in .013)? I dont see a .019. latest I see is a .017.

Yes September, lol. The ota .019 update was available for download on the September​ .017. version. It was bc 900+ MB in size.

I have the same issue. There's a thread about that on Reddit.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
Thank you. I tried checking for updates and did t see one. I'm now down on 013. About to do magisk.

On 13. Magisk in and safety net is good. Issue is with 017
[Nexus 6P General] monelli:
There are two versions:

Factory image with September patch .017: ctsProfile FAIL

OTA version, with September patch .019: ctsProfile TRUE

I use FlashFire to upgrade from last factory image to 0.19 via ota.

I have twrp and magisk root. All work fine.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
Is the .019 ota listed on the web?
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
I am on .013 now and I just got a security update of 37mb via ota. I removed Magisk and restored boot.img. processed this OTA as normal which got me to .019. Magisk reinstalled and we are now good to go.
