[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jetfin:
Update: I now managed to incrementally sideload to the latest Oreo from the June Nougat I was stuck on.

Pixel purchased through Project FI. NOT rooted, bootloader LOCKED.

Summary on what worked for me:

-Was stuck on the June Nougat build some months now: 7.1.2 build NKG47L, Jun 2017, T-Mobile, Fi Carriers, and Rogers)

Sideloaded NKG47M (Jul 2017, T-Mobile, Fi carriers)

reboot

Sideloaded NKG47S (Aug 2017, T-mobile, Fi carriers, and Rogers)

reboot

Sideloaded OPR1.170623.026 (Sep 2017, Fi/Canada)

reboot

Sideloaded OPR1.170623.027 (Oct 2017, Fi/Canada)

reboot

I should note that at no point between the incremental OTAs was I offered an update. It was "Your system is up to date" the whole time. I understand some people are still waiting for the Oreo OTA but I should have at least been offered the July & August Nougat updates seeing as how the phone is not rooted, bootloader locked, no changes to system???

Anyhow, I'm now on the latest Oreo build and all is working fine so far. Maybe this post can help somebody with similar issue of not knowing which Oreo OTA to start off with coming from NKG47S

Hi,

I'm having trouble selecting an Oreo OTA file to sideload onto my Pixel. Here some background:

The google pixel is the first of my many android devices I have not rooted or unlocked the bootloader. I intend to keep it that way.

The Pixel in question was purchased directly from Google through Project Fi (when i registered for Project Fi). It is still running a project Fi sim.

The device is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.

Up until today (October 11th) the latest build version was NKG47L of 7.1.2 (with the June security updates. It has been showing "system up to date" and today I finally decided to sideload the most recent Nougat updates myself.

First I sideloaded NKG47M (Jul 2017, T-Mobile, Fi carriers), rebooted and then sideloaded NKG47S (August 2017, T-Mobile, Fi Carriers, and Rogers).

All went well and I'm now on the latest stable Nougat release.

I was hoping that sideloading the OTA updates would somehow get rid of this "system up to date" absurdity I've been having since the June build and offer me an update to Oreo. No such luck.

I'm sick of waiting and would like to sideload the Oreo OTA. I do NOT want to unlock bootloader, root or join the beta program.

The build naming has changed with the Oreo OTA files available from google and I'm completely lost as to which to sideload on my 7.1.2 NKG47S.

Aside from the carrier specific files obviously NOT for my original Google Project Fi device there are these 8.0.0 OTA files available:

- OPR6.170623.012, Aug 2017

- OPR1.170623.026, Sep 2017, Fi/Canada

- OPR3.170623.007, Sep 2017

- OPR3.170623.027, Oct 2017, Fi/Canada

- OPR3.170623.008, Oct 2017

The main thing that confuses me here is that there is no August build OTA file for 8.0.0 that specifies Project Fi as a carrier. I understand i need to go incrementally from the latest Nougat to the first Oreo for my device but I'm lost as to whether I should go with the August OPR6 build which does not specify any carriers or to go with the September build (OPR1) which lists project Fi carrier.

Anybody here can provide me with more insight or possibly have already sideloaded Oreo OTA onto a 7.1.2 NKG47S Pixel?
