I've been flashing the zip in twrp since Oreo. No problems.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bite_your_idols:
do you mean copying ota zip file to device, entering TWRP and just flashing it, without using a PC, like in custom rom updates? that would be nice.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] post-mortem:
No. Follow the instructions here to flash the OTA udpate. On the phone side, you can use either stock recovery or TWRP; both will prepare the phone to receive the OTA being sent through adb.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bite_your_idols:
Yeah, I know that but what I say is what I understand in [MENTION=421262]lafester[/MENTION]'s post
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] lafester:
Yes, exactly. Flash ota in twrp, then flash twrp again. Reboot. But into recovery and flash magisk. Done.

Not sure if it works to downgrade or skip releases or from custom rom.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bite_your_idols:
But, after flashing ota zip in TWRP, how can you flash TWRP img file? do you need to connect the device to a PC?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] lafester:
No, flash twrp zip.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bite_your_idols:
yes, sorry, I meant "how to flash TWRP zip file"... so once in TWRP I need to flash OTA file and then TWRP zip file without rebooting, right? After that I can reboot into system or into TWRP to flash magisk, right?

thanks a lot
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] lafester:
Never tried rebooting into twrp but it should be ok. Worst case you have to boot again from system.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bite_your_idols:
thanks I will try it this weekend... I own a Pixel since a month ago because I was tired of custom roms in my previous android phones and I wanted stock official android and not to worry anymore, but I see that I need to keep on flashing since I need root for adaway... it deserves it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] post-mortem:
There are 2 TWRP files, the img and the zip.

Temporarily boot into TWRP by using fastboot boot twrp.img

From within TWRP, flash the twrp.zip file to "permanently" install TWRP as your custom recovery.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bite_your_idols:
[MENTION=270407]Post[/MENTION]-morten That is using the commom update method as posted along this thread but I am talking about method [MENTION=421262]lafester[/MENTION] said that is updating without adb and PC, just flashing from TWRP.

And yes, it works like a charm, I have just updated to december OTA from octobers official Pie, this are the steps I followed:

1. download OTA zip file, TWRP zip file and magisk zip file in to my device.

2. reboot into TWRP and go to "install".

3. select OTA zip file, then "add more zips", select TWRP zip file, then "add more zips", select magisk zip file. Check reboot after install.

4. Swipe to Flash and wait for less than 5 minutes. Device will reboot into your updated and rooted system.

Piece of cake, thanks again lafester.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:
I don't understand. I downloaded and adb sideloaded the October OTA minutes after it posted. I had no problem whatsoever. :confused:

My comment was about the "security update" having no security updates / patches. :eek:

Still September Patch Level?

After upgrading to the October image, does you system show though that the system security patch level is still September, 2018?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:
No, shows October 5 2018 which is crazy, because I got the update on October 1, and did not know the P2XL was a time machine to take me into the future! :D :cyclops:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] eBENdre:
Update took ages for me. The download and the install was sooooo slow... . After the update (one full day) I have about 25-30% less battery with the same usage.

(This is not a real measure, just a feeling)

Charged faster over 90% (sometimes it says @95% : 18 mint to max. Now It was faster.

It was not on the change log list but I have less display flickering during the environmental light changes...

And Now the notification led alerts are sometimes not working with some apps. (example Gmail.)

Maybe I'm going to reset my phone.

And yes I'm on Oct 5. security update :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] :
still no update for me. Shouldnt we all have access to the update ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:
You do too have access.

You have a Pixel phone and you are an XDA member, nothing stopping you. :rolleyes:

It was posted yesterday morning and I had my phone update within 15 minutes. :good:

useless comment, well done !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:

I asked about pushed OTA, you replied about XDA and sideloading. Do you understand what you did ? Probably not. I blame your parents (and Trump).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cmh714:
Seems not.....you obviously dont understand how the push happens....short answer is no, not everyone has access to it at the same time. android 101.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bolehs:
Same for me, also Oct. 5 security level

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] :

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
I still haven't gotten the update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Updates are staged and not everyone will receive one the first day. Download the update from Google's servers and sideload it if you don't want to wait.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kEvinErd:
Are you enrolled in the Android Beta Program? Try un-enrolling. Then, check for updates again. The OTA should be pulled to your device this time round.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
I owe you a beer ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
I know this but I'm lazy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kEvinErd:
Checking for updates now will manually request the OTA. No longer need to wait for the OTA to roll out in stages.

Unless of course Google breaks this functionality again....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=5418612]t2jbird[/MENTION]: There is no excuse for laziness. :p

[MENTION=4185708]kEvinErd[/MENTION]: I wouldn't know. I'm rooted and thus do not take incremental OTAs. I download the full OTA from Google and flash it in TWRP to update.

when turned on my device after flashing it still showing the previous mi version and nothing has changed

when i flash chinees rom 9.6.4.0(china stable) on it again the version showing the same 9.5.13.0.0 stable

the version remains the same after booting the device.

can anyone tell me whats the problem??/

Hi!

Facts are:

1. Your rom is fake.

And here am i with my pixel 2 on august security patch and "up to date", no OTAs for me so far. Anyone else ?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] quakeaz:
Are you still opted-in to the beta program? I had to opt my Pixel 2 out to receive the October OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Never been. Until September I used to get them regularly.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] quakeaz:
Why not sideload the OTA image? No reset necessary like with factory images.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Maybe I will do that. I was expecting a flawless transition from OTA to OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] computerslayer:
Are you with T-Mobile? They have their own update process even for Google phones, so OTAs are delayed. If I hadn't manually installed September's security update, I'd still be on August myself. Frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
I'm on Vodafone in Europe.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] computerslayer:
Well, that eliminates the T-Mobile factor. A quick Google search for Vodafone issues with Pixel 2 OTA times only returns a few results. Not sure what would explain the delay - perhaps a staged rollout?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3dd1:

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nogaff:
I'm still stuck on the August patch level here. I'm in the UK on the Three network and I've never been enrolled in the beta programme.

I flashed the Android P factory image via Deuce's script in August (including a userdata wipe), and then I rooted with Magisk.

My phone has been saying "Your system is up to date" ever since. I didn't receive any notification for the September update, nor do I have one for the October update.

I know I could just sideload the updates but I was hoping I'd eventually get the OTA notification so that I could test Magisk's ability to preserve root after an OTA. It doesn't look like I'll ever get the chance...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] the.teejster:
Both my wife and I have a Pixel 2 and she received the October Update back on Oct 3rd. As of this morning I still hadn't received it.. Saw your comment, realized I was still opted in (my wife doesn't install any betas) so I opted out and almost immediately afterwards got the update :)

Thanks !!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Large Hadron:
Yup. It seems stupid that they leave people opted-in after the programme ends (since it doesn't roll over to the next beta anyway) and that affects the distribution of OTAs. But this is Google.

Long story short my V521 is bricked, as far as I can tell.

Here’s what happens:

Turn on.

Shows ‘can’t detect corruption’ unlocked boot loader screen.

Shows LG screen.

Reboots.

If I attempt factory reset via hardware buttons, I get a Nougat circle that says ‘Erasing...’, then reboots into the above loop.

Download mode seems to be nonexistent, as it just never works. My PC does not recognize it as the right device for LG support tool or Uppercut to find it, despite all drivers being installed.

ADB was working until stock recovery flashing (which I thought was gonna be a fix...)

And now I don’t know what to do.

Basically, the only thing I have is an unlocked bootloader.

Someone. Please.

Help me.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] galakanokis:
Yes, no issues with Magisk. But, I came from a clean fastboot flash and redid twrp and Magisk.

I would lose connection to my car after a few minutes but other devices worked fine. With the October update I connected to my car no problem and it held for well over an hour a reconnected just fine after getting out and back in. So I would say yes, the patched helped my Bluetooth issues.
