[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kovacc56:
I will try. But before that i must ask, do i need to install something more, because many people have problem as i can see on forum with missing apps like camera, keyboard, calculator..??

One more thing, do rollback will erase my personal data and aplications? And when? I asking because when i flashed rollback package, after that my data and aplicafions was still there. Maybe it will erase after flashing full firmware?

Thanks for answer
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] brookie229:
Yes, your data and apps will be gone. When you flash your M firmware it's going to make everything new as if you just opened the box. Sorry if you did not know that. I don't think there is any way to avoid that. I was just setting my device up and noticed an OTA update to B386 Nougat which I successfully updated to BUT then I found out that my P9 will not work on Nougat. I cannot scroll at all with it so I had to find the rollback firmware. I flashed it then immediately after that I flashed B191 Marshmallow and all is well. Nothing else. As I said, you will, however, lose all your data and I don't know if a backup can restore it for you.

Hey friend, i just install full mm firmware and everything is good now, i don`t have nrd90mtest keys, i have now l19c432b182, i found on huawei site for l09 they have rollback package and full firmware b182 so i found for l19. I think good firmware is the key of rollback, and b182 is the best for it. Thanks so much for your help!

I have only one problem, i can`t change themes. I can see themes and when i click apply it, it is successful but it didn`t change. Did you have that problem too?

Thanks again so much
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] brookie229:
Happy that it worked out for you. I have an icon on my desktop called "Themes", but when I tap on it there is nothing. I just assumed that was something that you would have to download and install from a Huawei website or get from a 3rd party app. Anyway, it does not concern me as I only care about throwing a pic on for my desktop. What really annoys me is that I cannot run Nougat on my P9:(

Anyway, good that you have it running again. I am on B191 and it looks like that will be all I can do.

But i don`t know why u can`t get official uograde. When i rollback to mm b182 i got instant upgrade to emui 5. Maybe your version of mm is not good bcs when i had emui4.1.3 i got upgrade to b386 and now when i have 4.1.1 i got upgrade to b383. Maybe you can try to install another version of mm.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kovacc56:
You can update with firmware finder app on playsore, search on forum, you will find tutorial for it.

Or with 3 buttons combination and dload if you can find update, or with twrp if you have it and you will need update file too. Just search on forum tutorial for it and CORRECT update for your phone, single or dual sim whatever you have and with c900 bcs u have global version.

Anyone flashed it yet? Is it possible to dirty flash over 8.0.0 or clean flash is required?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Dirty flash should be fine since the normal procedure even for a beta is an OTA. I see a post elsewhere that it is rootable with the usual procedure.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
Same here .__.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mannunikhil:
I have had the same issue, looks like google made an error compressing the zip because of it verification fails at stage 1. Nevertheless, I have flashed 8.1 via factory image without any error. Booted twrp 3.1.1-1 and flashed Supersu 2.83 SR3 + Suhide 1.09.

Oreo feels better in 8.1, just saying! ;)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Myo Thu Htet:
WiFi and Bluetooth are working?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mannunikhil:
Bluetooth yes but haven't tested wifi, will go home and confirm next morning. Quick settings shows only the Bluetooth battery level while battery % left is visible in settings.

Edit: I confirm Wifi is also working normal.

Hi - I have a Verizon Pixel XL on 8.0 Oct 5 patch. My bootloader is unlockable via Dev Options although the status is LOCKED.

I'm trying to clean install this preview by following the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/android/images#instructions

Is it necessary to relock the bootloader after flashing all?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Myo Thu Htet:
Dun relock if u dun necessary
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Not necessarily, and strongly advised against. If something goes bad and you bootloop you are done.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Myo Thu Htet:
I cant even flash factory image. Here is the error
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] andresee:
How did you you get TWRP to decrypt? It will not work on my Pixel.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
It won't, it needs an update. Removing you pin won't help either. Wipe the phone and set it up without a pin or put SU on a USB drive and get a USB to C adapter. You can put SU on the thumb drive and select storage in TWRP and install it from there. That is what I did.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] andresee:
Or you can just adb sideload after booting in twrp. Thats how I was able to get root.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jmartin72:
Does it come with the new Pixel 2 launcher, or the old pixel launcher?

I received it over OTA on my bootloader locked Verizon Pixel. I had been having major issues with the cellular radio dropping out and my device restarting and was about to send it back for a RMA, but it seems the 8.1 beta fixed it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tfly212:
Does taking the OTA wipe the device or is it like a normal OTA where all your settings and apps are untouched?

I have been snoozing it all day but might pull the trigger. I can't room and rom anymore due to corporate security, but I miss being a little bit on the leading edge.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] petrr311:
I got the ota but it keeps failing the install. It gets stuck in a bootloop and then just reboots... Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
Mine just rebooted with error message: installation problem (in the update page).

Tried side loading yesterday with parse error.

What is going on.??? If the sideload package was corrupt, how come users are updating via ota and I can't? ._.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] invisibro:
Having the same issue. Ota and install error. Would having installed the pixel 2 launcher prior to trying to update it cause an error?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
No. I don't have pixel 2 launcher. It looks like some verification error to me.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jonyid:
android 8.1 installed on an original pixel no root and works like a charm. Wish that I could change the app that clicking the weather on the home screen directs to and also wish i could remove the google search bar at the bottom but beggars can't be choosers.

Need to test out the bluetooth device battery level on my headphones, will be a very handy piece of info to have if it works
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mannunikhil:
It has latest Pixel 2 launcher. Although I get a lag in the app drawer as I swipe the screen up and down, not sure if anyone else has that too. When I was on 8.0.0 installed P2 launcher and there was no lag what so ever smooth as butter.

Yes Android Pay works on 8.1 DP.

Yes, its a parsing 22 error. I had that too but then I moved to factory image. If you are having issue in flashing factory image too then you can refer to below thread

I know how to flash a factory image. I just want to keep the bootloader locked for now. I am supposed to be able to adb sideload updates manually, but Google has screwed something this time.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] thinkking:
I am not sure if this may help anyone trying to look at why the issues are present when trying to install:

Android 8.1 beta OTA upgrade on OG Pixel

I, just like many of you, have been experiencing OTA "installation problem" when trying to upgrade to the 8.1 beta. After reviewing comments and what worked for who, I decided to give this a shot and it worked. I am not sure if this will work for other devices (nexus or XLs) and keep in mind that you WILL lose all your data stored on the device, so back up prior to this method.

1. Be sure you are enrolled in the beta program.

2. Wait for the OTA to notify you that it's available.

3. Select "Download and Install".

4. After it has done its duty, DO NOT select "Restart and Install"

5. Go to "Factory Reset" and pull the trigger.

6. Your phone will factory reset, stating it's wiping everything, then it will install the update successfully.

NOTE: this is what worked for me. I'm unsure if it will solve all the "Installation problem" reports which have been made.

It's weird cause when I tried to factory reset, then download and install, it didn't work. Yet, downloading but NOT installing, then factory resetting worked.

After doing this I posted it here: https://plus.google.com/+ChristopherLeeMurray/posts/KDCZXbfAxLJ
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nyisles:
Installed 1 out of 5 (4 failed)

Thanks - I had to relock since Android Pay would not work unlocked but did this after rebooting.

I'm getting the Google Play Store error: "Installed 1 out of 5 (4 failed)" but everything seems to work properly - any concerns here?

Note: I'm also getting notification of system update via the Beta Program - do *not* install as it downgraded back to 8.0!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I had that because I just flashed it manually without enrolling. I would assume that is what you did too. Go enroll in the beta, that will stop that update. Mine stopped after one reboot and a five minute wait.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Teksu:
This worked for me as well, Thanks!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] THATTON:
What is the full line that has to be deleted? I cannot get the OTA to install. It keeps failing so I am trying this method but Notepad displays this as one big long line. I just need to know exactly what to delete please. Thank you!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] THATTON:
I am going crazy. My bootloader is locked. I really didn't want to have to unlock just to flash the beta. I can't get an OTA to install properly and I can't get the ADB sideload to work either. Any help would be great!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] roadblock217:
Hey guys, I was having the same issue. I found a thread on Reddit regarding this and tested what they said, and it worked.

You need to reset, but it worked for myself and others:

Download the update but DON'T RESTART/INSTALL.

Factory Reset the device via Settings

That's it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] thatguy222:
OTA does not wipe the device.

And I spoke too soon, my restarting issues persists.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
Protip: when in trouble, use wordpad instead of notepad for alignment issues

You are looking for a ' -w ' flag to delete. w denotes wipe.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] THATTON:
I removed it and this is what I get. How can I flash this bootloader on a locked device that is not BL unlocked or rooted?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
You can't. You need to flip the OEM unlocking toggle in developer settings, input fastboot oem unlock command in fastboot and then flash factory images.

Unlocking BL will wipe the phone clean.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] THATTON:
Yeah that is what I am trying to avoid, wiping the phone. I wonder how my BL ended up out of date??
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
It's a trivial issue. The new bootloader gets flashed first if you notice. The upcoming files expect the latest bootloader (which is flashed first in the list) for them to work. Since your flash failed, the latest bootloader is missing and the upcoming files recognise that.

Anyways, I am trying to avoid unlocking too. Will have to wait it out I guess.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] THATTON:
Yeah f#@k it. I ended up just unlocking the BL and sideloading the OTA. Then I relocked the BL. Took seconds to do but man I hate setting up a phone!!! Especially since my Pixel 2 XL and iPhone X will both be here next week.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ACastanza:
If you're unable to sideload, or successfully install the pushed OTA, I found a workaround. DOES NOT REQUIRE A FACTORY RESET. I also posted this to the bug tracker for this issue but figured it might be helpful here.

This requires you to have the OTA zip downloaded. Since Google pulled these downloads, so you'll have to find them somewhere else. (Like here: https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../42c4425cf03125fe7c535e39cbac7d17c1a2f65a.zip)

Step 1: Enroll in the Beta program and install the OTA that is pushed to your device.

Step 2: The device will reboot, Immediately after the Google Logo Shows the screen will go black and reboot again. IMMEDIATELY Hold Volume Down + Power to boot into the bootloader.

(I didn't try it, but you may also be able to boot directly into the Bootloader and skip this step. Either way, don't let it reboot past this point or it will just roll you back to 8.0)

Step 3: Enter recovery mode. You should see that recovery mode is now Version 8.1.0. If this is NOT the version displayed, start over.

Step 4: Enter sideload mode and sideload the 8.1.0 OTA Zip.

Step 5: Allow everything to complete. Weirdly, it will say that the OTA is "done" being pushed and validated before it finishes being pushed from your system, I don't know why, it doesn't appear to cause any problems, but it definitely isn't the way this normally progresses. (No Errors!)

Step 6: Reboot the device. Your device will reboot several times, and then boot into the OS.

Congratulations, you now have Android 8.1.0.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] NoobInToto:
You sir, are a ****in genius ! The sideload went beyond 47% this time because of the latest recovery.

Another workaround by Jackal Guo mentioned in Google+ Android Beta group :
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tiboric:
Updated to 8.1 and loving it so far, I'm surprised how much has changed since 8.0 and how much more fluid and finished it feels . Magisk works perfectly and as long as you remove your pin before you reboot TWRP is working for me too.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] moksha51:
For 8.0, there was a PIxel 2/2 XL camera apk that enabled motion photos for OG pixel. Unfortunately, the same doesn't work for 8.1. Wonder if other people have tried looking at this?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaadragonfire:
It's not installing for me.. I guess it's because of target Android version, someone should pull the one from Pixel 2. Beta and make it available for us maybe then it will work, but who knows.. :(

EDIT: Just got it working, install app cloner from play store, then import the camera app with motion photos.. it will create an apk for you then you are promoted to install it, now you will have two apps the original camera app and the one with motion enabled. :)

Took the ota earlier, with -w

booted normally and everything works just fine

However, after i tried flashing twrp and magisk

the pixel launcher and system ui just keep crashing

even another sideload with wipe cant solve the problem

now i am trying to get back to 8.0 and see if it works

edit: same problem still happening,

system ui, pixel launcher, settings keep crashing

dunno what i've done wrong

edit2: something is wrong with google backup

after wipe and set it as new device it works again

thank god, almost got myself an heart attack

There is a new OTA (for same build, but new working OTA) for 8.1 rolling out.

https://plus.google.com/100708818877...ts/dEyVgqmURw2

Please can someone grab the OTA URL?

When is OTA expected?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] y2grae:
now
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] voolandis:
No luck here. Maybe it won't update over November security patch, just like DP1 didn't?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
So.. Beta program gives preview stream. Usual stream gives release versions.

Just as you don't get beta OTAs over officical builds when you are on them, you don't get on time security patches when you're on beta.

Normally, people are in one or another stream, with the only way to flip between them to opt out of beta or flash an image manually or opt into beta.

As I understand it...
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] voolandis:
While I was enrolling for beta, it clearly stated that update will come OTA. So, I was on November sec. patch at that time, so I did not get DP1. I was just asking will for the same reason DP2 be skipped on my device.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
DP1 OTA came in October, so that makes sense to me. Wait a day or two to see if DP2 OTA comes in... When you go to google.com/android/beta, it certainly shows enrollment?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] keepcalmrollon:
Same issue here. I signed up for the beta after installing the November patch, so understandably I didn't get a DP1 OTA. Still nothing after the announcement of DP2 though.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] GibsonSGJ:
Checking the Google+ official Android Beta Program community, it's looking like the OTA has started rolling out to all devices except the 5" 2016 Pixel. There has been no communication from Google as to why, but I recall there was an issue with the 8.1 DP1 OTA not installing on some 2016 5" Pixels, so maybe they found an issue before pulling the trigger. That's just speculation of course, but hopefully, they will start the rollout soon.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] voolandis:
Would you mind sharing the source?

Edit: Don't bother, found it. Really, no OTA still for OG Pixel 5.0
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] shinesthru:
