For most, there was no Oct security update, Nov was the first one. I believe if you were on the Beta program there was one, but I am not certain on that I have not gone that root.

Nov 5th was pushed to my phone on Nov 6th.

Pixel 2 bought from Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DagrXDA:
I'm in the same boat... 11/16, still no push of the Nov. update.

I bought unlocked directly from google and put in a VZ sim.

I'm curious though, shouldn't that have then prompted an update to the VZ specific builds via OTA? I am currently on the normal Sept. security level non-VZ (not sure if it came with that or updated to it, I can't remember).

I'd be happy to sideload... but I'm more interested in making sure my phone is capable of getting OTA updates as intended... I've never had to wait this long.

I had though they changed it so that if you manually request an update you don't have to wait for your IMEI push group. /shrug.

It's super freaking annoying that my sons Pixel 1 has the November update and my brand new Pixel 2 doesn't. :D

On the plus side, I got my free home mini today. I acutally didn't think I qualified for it (bought from google site a day or two after release), but I still got the email, and it came yeserday! It's actually a pretty sweet little companion. I love that the cloth on the mini matches the Pixel 2 fabric cases (which I freaking love).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] krelvinaz:
I got my Google home mini today as well. It was shipped from Verizon where I bought it from.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
I similarly bought unlocked, using on Verizon. Trying not to get impatient, but I feel I've given Google plenty of time to push the update. There can't have been THAT many sold already that some people were getting it on 11/6 and at least some of us don't have it yet. I know they can walk and chew gum at the same time/push to hundreds, maybe thousands, a day.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] krelvinaz:
Have you contacted Google about the issue ?

They have pretty good support. You can contact them via help in settings as well.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
No, not yet. Tried to find an email address but just found the phone number, will call tomorrow. Did you get your update?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostbach:
I also have an unlocked Pixel 2 purchased from Google with a Verizon SIM in it. No update here, either.

I tried contacting Google through the chat option, but it wasn't very helpful. They basically just said the update has rolled out and I would get it as soon as possible and they couldn't tell me when that would be.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
I gave up on waiting and just sideloaded. Easy enough and now I'm up to date. Hopefully future updates don't take this long to roll out OTA
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostbach:
Yep, I'm pretty much sick of waiting as well. I just wasn't sure if I should use .023 or .025. It sounds like .023 shouldn't break the ability to unlock the bootloader, but I didn't really want to take the chance.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
With an unlocked version, we should always be able to unlock the bootloader? It was my understanding only the Verizon versions had a locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] quakeaz:
It shouldn't...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostbach:
Cool. Figured it wouldn't. Thanks for the pics.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DagrXDA:
So which version did you guys end up side loading? Guess I'll just have to do that too.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostbach:
I sideloaded the Verizon specific version (OPD3.170816.023) in hopes that will give the best chance for the OTAs to actually work properly in the future. The OEM unlocking switch did stay accessible.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
Does sideloading wipe my data and will I have to setup my phone again? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
You have to modify the flash script to remove the wipe option before using it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Sideloading the OTA no you are fine. If you flash the full image modify it as the poster above says.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
Thanks. To sideload do I need to unlock? If so, doesn't unlocking wipe all data? I think I need to flash the updated bootloader, radio, and then finally the image?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
You can sideload the OTA unlocked as it is signed by Google.

If you unlock then yes it wipes. You don't need to flash anything separate...it flashed all of it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
I get stuck at the bootloader flash. I did unlock and wiped (whoops). Got a "Command Flash Error" which is apparently a known issue. Haven't had time to research further but at this point may give up unless there is a different command I can try. I just re-locked the device.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
You might need a newer version of platform tools.

First thing I did before even setting up my phone was unlock the bootloader, so I didn't have to deal with wiping in the future. Not everyone's cup of tea but I knew I'd eventually be unlocked anyway, so may as well factory reset a factory fresh phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DagrXDA:
Still no ota for me... Lol, in getting stubborn and want to see if in actually going to get it before side loading. Heh.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
I got the latest version, dont know if I was using right but had same error.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

I am escalating up the chain. Ridiculous its three weeks later. I used to get same day as release on my Pixel. I could not load the new bootloader due to a known issue so I dont know if you can sideload unless its OK to keep the existing bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisnewton:
I am in the UK and as of yesterday i had still not got the November patch! I so took my sim out and factory reset the phone and i got the update!...i am with O2, i am worried i am going to have to do this on every update!..i looked into downloading the OTA from the google website but was unsure on which one to download..any one in the UK sideload the updates that can help in future?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DagrXDA:
Sideloading an OTA should not require any bootloader unlocking or editing... that would only be for the full image... and yes, my son's Pixel 1 has had the new update for a couple weeks... pretty much right when it came out. :(

At this point I know I can sideload... but I want to see if they are going to fix this issue / what will happen. I'll probably end up sideloading if we get to a december patch and I still haven't seen Nov.

I'm somewhat curious... it's almost like they have silently stopped the push for some reason (put your tin foil hat on here).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
I am confused... with the update isnt there a new bootloader, radio, and image itself? And you need to flash in that order? How does one flash the new bootloader without unlocking the bootloader?

One of my theories is they discovered a major issue and stopped pushing but we haven't heard about any major issues with the November update right?

I have someone at Google looking into it internally but they are now on vacation this week.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Erik1805:
I just sideloaded the OTA, i am on a Verizon Pixel 2 with locked bootloader. Updating was easy. 5 minutes and am i up te date :)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
You are sideloading a full OTA file, so the phone treats it like an OTA and allows it. It is signed by Google so it trusts it. It is not a full flash.

My theory is their database for what phones to push what updates to is borked. There is lots of evidence in the Pixel 2 forums where they were not unlocking properly. That is database driven too.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
Do you mind please posting the exact tools you used and steps you took? Did you also update the bootloader and radio? Would be much appreciated!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Erik1805:
Here you can find the OTA image and instructions. Don't know if the bootloader and radio got an update. Just flashed the full OTA file.

https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DagrXDA:
From what I understand, if you follow the manual directions here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota then you will get the same effect as receiving the OTA actually over the air. This process should not require a wipe or modification of bootloader / unlock status.

EDIT: whoops, people above beat me to the response!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hytekjosh:
November OTA finally just popped up!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DagrXDA:
For me too! Must have been in the same batch. [emoji16] Finally.. sheesh.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Btw, it put me on to the Verizon specific build in case anyone was interested. Unlocked direct from Google with a Verizon sim.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
That's interesting. I wonder if it's somehow "optimized" for the Verizon network, and if so what would that entail? What happens if you pop in a different SIM? I hope you could still flash the baseline one if you wanted
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Radio and modem are different for the VZ network. How much difference it makes is a mystery. Yes, you can flash any image you want, but even if current on the Google image if you pop a VZ SIM in it will pull the VZ update.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] peikojose:
Did someone try root using magisk?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
Do you mean during the next OTA? I was on .10 with a Verizon SIM. Never got an OTA push so flashed the .25
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonVaritekMVP:
So I too am on VZ with an unlocked phone. I am currently running the Sept update, unlocked and rooted. The OTA just showed up this morning but with the message

"Couldn't Install System Update"

"Couldn't Update: Installation Problem

This update fixed critical bugs and improves the performance and stability of your Pixel 2. If you download updates over the cellular network or while roaming, additional charges may apply.

Update Size: 57.1 MB"

With an option to try again.

So it sounds like you're saying that even if I sideload the OTA I'll keep getting system update prompts if I load the unlocked OTA instead of the Verizon specific?

Is there any compelling reason to load the Verizon specific? I can't say I trust Verizon any more than I can throw the entire corporation one handed which makes me lean towards staying "all unlocked." In that case I would have to disable system updates in order to get rid of the system update icon right?

Best,

JasonVaritekMVP
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Yes, that is what I am saying. With the "pure" update installed it will still offer the VZ version if they continue to do it as that do on the OG Pixels.

The VZ version isn't from VZ, it is from Google and modified by Google for VZ's network. This isn't the usual setup where VZ takes and update and modifies it into garbage. Google is in control here, don't worry about it.

You should use the version for your carrier. It will give you better connections.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonVaritekMVP:
Thank you kindly. I'll sideload the Nov Verizon update then.

Best,

- JasonVaritekMVP
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonVaritekMVP:
The instructions from google say "1. Make sure that there is no pending OTA update ..." is it an issue to sideload the OTA if it has already downloaded the pushed OTA? My phone attempted to install the pushed version but failed (trying again also failed).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kloubik:
It's December now and I am still on Sept security patch. Manually checking for the update finds nothing. I know I can side load but the reason I bought this phone was I don't have to tinker with it to be up to date. Well, hopefully the 8.1 update will be pushed soon, together with fixes for many other issues with this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
I understand where you're coming from, and I agree. It was a principle factor in my decision as well, and I'm disappointed so far. Does anyone know if there's been any thing in the way of an official explanation?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Weird. I got a new Pixel 2 yesterday (ordered from the Google store). Came with September security patches, but I got the prompt in about 5 minutes to upgrade and then was on November.

Stock, unrooted at this point.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] krelvinaz:
I expect the Dec security update to be out the first part of next week (mon-tue-wed). Stock un-rooted devices should get it automatically.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
"Should" being the operative word. Without any indication as to why some stock, unrooted Pixels still aren't getting the Nov update, not sure why Dec would be any different. There seems to be glitch in the monthly security update process. Not sure I'd expect that to change before 8.1. But I'll be happy to be wrong.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] krelvinaz:
And you fixed this by downloading the OTA from Google correct? So you did get the update even if you did it manually. I can think of a lot of products where something like that is not available at all. You would be just SOOL.

You said you were going to contact Google support to see if they knew what the issue is/was right?

Email would not make a support tool for this type of thing as they may need to have you check a number of things. Chat and Call work great.

In settings at the bottom of the screen:

I have found their support to be very good. Not only for the pixel but also other products like the Google Home Mini. When I called them about connection issues with my second Home Mini, the call was about 12mins long as they had me check a number of different things to see what the issue was. Turned out it was a pretty simple configuration issue on my Phone not the Home Mini. Phone needed to have mobile data disabled during the process.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
Yes, I fixed it manually, and yes, I know with others I'd be SOL (*cough*Motorola*cough*), but that's a major reason why I went Google direct and a major selling point. No, I didn't end up calling as I ended up manually updating. And I don't recall seeing a chat option the day I looked, likely because it was outside their hours of availability.

As much as I follow Google/Android/Pixel news, I'm surprised we haven't seen anything official about this as prevalent as it seems to be. But it appears the chat option is available to me at the moment, so I'll give it a shot and report back, but at this point it may be more helpful for someone who has a Google direct, unrooted, still on the September security update to try it, so they could perhaps diagnose an actual device and not just talk in generalities about the updates roll out to all devices over time.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kloubik:
It appears that Google is aware, per the bellow link but it what's said there to be trusted they are still looking into it and no promise or ETA if it will be fixed.

https://groups.google.com/a/googlep...f41-81f2-ce5e341f4e41@googleproductforums.com.

It seems mostly people with Verizon version who are on non-verizon service provider are not getting the update. In order to get an update on verizon phone, you need to put in and active verizon sim card. Could it be that Verizon made Google turn off updates for people on other carriers to force more people to switch to verizon for updates?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
I don't know, but I have an unlocked version from the Google store, using it on Verizon, and never got the update, which is the opposite of what you describe. So maybe it's anyone with any connection to Verizon, either a Verizon version of the phone or on Verizon network? And yet I'm pretty sure lots of people on Verizon got the update, distribution just wasn't as comprehensive as it should be.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thirdlobe:
I have a Verizon phone using it on ATT and have not gotten any updates since I have had it. I tried to sideload but it looks like, I cannot get ADB to work. I have also tried to remove my SIM to see if it does anything and nothing. Kinda disappointing to say the least. After over a month of waiting on a phone and now my phone constantly reboots daily just because. This may be my last Andriod product.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Erik1805:
I also have a Verizon phone with an TMobile sim but i am not getting the OTA's. I just use the ADB sideload and this works very well. No one could tell if you would get updates with a Verizon phone and another sim. I have asked so many and they all say something different.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Copy the OTA file to your phone with the standard file transfer from a computer then boot into recovery and apply the update via recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeyinid:
I tried this and it doesn't work, says SD cannot be found. I'm on Verizon and outside of the betas I haven't got a single update on my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thirdlobe:
Do you have a DIY on this?

Do I have to unzip the files?

Where do I place the files on my phone to what folder?

etc...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] krelvinaz:
Use the instructions on the Google OTA page instead. The Google OTA page has the instructions under Updating Instructions.

It takes a while to to that process and when you reboot, you will sit at the Google white page for sometime as it continues the update.

It has been a while, but I used to do this on my Pixel 1 all the time.

hello to everyone, I have a big problem. The first is that I do not write well in English, so I use a translator and I apologize for the mistakes :)

I changed the battery to my p9 and from that moment, by connecting the power supply, the residual charge goes down instead of going up. The strangest thing is that every time I turn on the phone the percentage of the battery is always different. When it indicates 100%, in a few minutes it reaches 0%.

Yeah we all heard about the screen quality issues and stuff, But is it really that bad? I would love to get one coming from the og pixel xl. But do you guys recommend me getting one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dpw2atox:
I got a P2XL 64BG black to replace my 1st Gen Pixel 128GB and overall I'm happy with my purchase. That's not to say the display is perfect, I do have the blue shift when I look at it sideways and I also don't really like the bland colors. I haven't had any issues with burn-in yet though I did install the 8.1 beta to make sure that the soft keys don't burn in. That said Google increasing the warranty to 2 years, the beta dims the soft keys and Google is promising a software update that will offer a more saturated color scheme.....so between what Google has done and are in process of doing I am not really too concerned about the display issues. Display aside it's a great phone, it doesn't get warm like my Pixel did, it's very fast, smooth, great battery life and the 3 years of OS updates is a great perk. I can't speak for anyone else but I am happy with my purchase and will be keeping my P2XL. The best advice I can offer is what others have said in other threads, go to a store and check one out for yourself then decide.
