If you are on the Pro you need 'Raven' not 'Oriole'. Looks like you downloaded the wrong OTA file.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Totally missed that. Good catch!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pntballer505:
Sure.

-I am using the latest platform tools available.

-I think I'm using the newest drivers. Not quite sure. I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers

in device manager.

-I placed the Oriole(I realize that is not for the Pro, I am on the regular 6)zip ota file in the platform tools directory.

-Debugging enabled.

-First command "adb reboot recovery"

-Power and volume up, then scroll down to "Apply update from adb"

-Ran "adb devices" to make sure it said sideload next to device name.

-Finallay "adb sideload oriole-ota-sd1a.210817.036.a8-41f0de82.zip"

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong with the file name or directory, but everything else seemed to be in order.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The latest drivers are available here. Make sure and install/update them if necessary when you're in sideload mode.

You have oriole-ota-sd1a.210817.036.a8-41f0de82.zip in the same folder as adb?

You could try moving the folder that has Platform Tools and the zip file closer to the root of your file system, such as in C:\T\, to avoid having been in too long a filepath.

Check the SHA-256 hash of your zip file compared to what's shown on Google's site? My Windows program of choice to check the hash of a single file is HashTab. If you install it, then right-click the OTA zip file, choose Properties, then click the HashTab tab, choose Settings to enable SHA-256, then you can paste in the SHA-256 hash that Google shows for the OTA you downloaded, and it'll tell you if that pasted hash matches the actual files' hash.

You could try the non-Verizon variant of the OTA "oriole-ota-sd1a.210817.036-fac7e678.zip" with SHA-256 of fac7e67859e10838950af963d5e196e94ae3bf72317e505e71a87ea6160cca38.

Total guesses here, though, not sure what else the problem could be.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Make sure you are in terminal (Command prompt) and not power shell. You are unlocked Verizon? The 36.a8 is for Verizon only not sure if it will work if you are using a different carrier. All other carriers are on .36 Other than that IDK hopefully Warrior can help you out. Maybe try downloading file again in case it got corrupted somehow.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pntballer505:
Good advice.

I've tried mostly everything, and the drivers and adb interface appear to be working how they should. I think this may be user error in that I am putting the wrong filename in the "adb sideload" command.

in the terminal it shows: C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb sideload oriole-ota-sd1a.210817.036.a8-41f0de82.zip

"* cannot read 'oriole-ota-sd1a.210817.036.a8-41f0de82.zip' *"

Is this wrong or am I missing something about the file I'm pasting or which directory I'm placing it in?!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you have ADB and the OTA zip in the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\" folder? If not, do you have them in the same folder together? If so, "CD" (Change Directory) to the path where you have both ADB and the OTA zip. Like:

CD "C:\Users\Me\Downloads\Platform Tools\"
adb sideload oriole-ota-sd1a.210817.036.a8-41f0de82.zip

It is definitely the correct filename for one of the two SD1A.210817.036 OTAs - specifically the SD1A.210817.036.A8 (Verizon) one. Whether you should be flashing the SD1A.210817.036.A8 OTA or the regular SD1A.210817.036, we have no way of telling without more information, like @znel52's question about if you're on Verizon (and which model P6P you're using on Verizon if so - Unlocked or Verizon edition).

There's still a chance that the zip file is just corrupt. Checking the hash to see if it matches what's on Google's site would tell you. If it's not a match, the file you have is corrupt and you should re-download it and re-check the hash. I check hashes on all important files that I flash to my phone, when the hash is available.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Looks like you need to navigate to your ADB folder in terminal. It appears you are not running the commands from within the folder if I am reading your post right.

for instance when I pull up terminal it says C:\Windows\blah blah

My ADB folder is on the root of the C: drive so in command prompt I do 'cd/adb' which changes to my adb directory.

Command prompt then shows 'C:\ADB' which is where I need to be.

I'm sure I'm not explaining this well but you need to navigate to your ADB directory in command prompt before running the adb sideload command.

Or if you navigate to where your ADB folder is on your hard drive in explorer and Hold Shift + right click on the folder you should have an option to open a command prompt window from that location. Then you can just run your commands as you should be in the right spot.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pntballer505:
Yourself and znel52 are completely right. My directory is for sure wrong with the command line. Figured I was messing up here.

I have the Pixel 6 unlocked, with a new verizon sim in it. After what I have been reading, it seems like there is still uncertainty with which ota to flash--the .036 or .036.A8. Figured since I am on Verizon that it would safe to flash the .A8, still not sure if I should flash the global one instead though?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Either way, I'm sure you'd be fine. The worst that would happen is you'd find that you should flash the other one to work better with Verizon. I'd stick to the assumption that you should flash the Verizon (.036.A8) OTA.

Hope it works well for you now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
I'm unlocked Verizon and I sideloaded A8 on my Pro. I really don't think it will make much difference either way but I'd probably go with A8.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pntballer505:
Well that worked like a peach. Now successfully on .036.A8.

Thank you to the both of you for dumbing things down for me, everyone on XDA has always been so helpful.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Awesome. You're welcome!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Glad you got it working! It had been a few years for me since I sideloaded something I had to knock off some rust as well lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gee2012:
Or just download a full OTA image from here https://developers.google.com/android/ota and flash it in recovery via adb sideload. Easiest and fastest method imo.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pntballer505:
Right! Lol. It's been a long time since I've been unsatisfied with a device feature or not receiving updates, to the point where I had to flash or root again. Hah.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stevek216:
Laziness disguised as patience had me still waiting for the OTA and I finally got it. Pixel 6 Pro ordered unlocked from Google with a Verizon sim, just got the OTA to SD1A.210817.036.A8
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] santod040:
Also got the update today finally....

Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro bought from Google and using it with a Verizon sim.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] aer0zer0:
I just flashed the Verizon images on top of the unlocked 6 pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Yensid eno:
I also finally received the OTA update to 036.A8. have been working with Google technical support and they were actually going to replace my phone. I really wasn't wild about that, because I have not had issues with overheating or other things that people have written about. What I would like to know, and I have asked the representative I've been working with, is if Google and Verizon have figured this out so that all future updates will come on time or if they don't know why that it's doing what it's doing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I updated the phone before activating on Verizon and it worked great. For those having trouble, try removing the SIM card, THEN using the OTA updater.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stevek216:
Yeah I'd be pretty disappointed if my unlocked device was on a lag just bc I use Verizon. I have heard that in the past the separate carrier builds get merged into the main build so maybe this is temporary.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
So it looks like they fixed the problem perhaps due to all the complaints, and there were a ton on Reddit and here. Hopefully, that will be the end of it since everyone seems to be getting the OTA now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jughead75:
I'm on Verizon and when I got my phone I set it up over wifi before going to the store to get a sim card. When I set it up on wifi the phone downloaded the update and I'm currently on SD1A.210817.036.

My question is did I screw myself going forward getting any future update from Verizon? Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, I wouldn't sweat it. It should offer you the Verizon version of the update, at least by the time the December OTA rolls out. Either way, unless you have a specific complaint about how it's working now, you might be able to manually update to the Verizon-specific build in the meantime.

As others have mentioned, Google usually unifies the updates into one build per month, so it'll all come together to be the same update in the end.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jughead75:
Thanks for the response and the reassurance. I'm generally happy with the build the phone is currently running so I'll just stay as is and wait to for the next update. 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
The Verizon builds were pushed to all Pixels by mistake. You should be able to get the December update normally.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pntballer505:
For reference, I did receive the Verizon OTA today. Unlocked Pixel 6 Verizon sim.

Now on build SD1A.210817.037.A1
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you for your report!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bkdodger:
Unlocked Google phone on Verizon. I'm on 036 currently which I side-loaded. Do I go to .037.A1 or .037 ?

Sideloaded A1 on the move now lol 😝
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think you're saying that you already answered your own question, but if anyone else wonders, the Pixel 6 Pro Factory Images site mentions which updates are for Verizon, although ultimately it probably doesn't matter much if you flash the non-Verizon update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bkdodger:
Yes I was asking first but then edited to Verizon version though I don't think it matters ...I side-loaded the non Verizon the first time but wanted to test the Verizon one this time ..
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] cealchylle:
Hi, I'm trying to update my phone to the latest version. It is rooted with Magisk and hasn't been updated at all since I got it a year and a half ago. The methods I have found so far for updating with root are not working. Every time I try to open System Updates in my Settings, it force closes on me so I can't access it.

Is there a work around for this? I have tried using Oxygen Updater and that failed also. Can I manually install the OTA update and preserve root somehow?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] cealchylle:
Please help, I haven't found any solutions. I got an error 1 using TWRP, which seems to mean that my boot.img is corrupt?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] cealchylle:
I managed to solve this by doing a factory reset/data wipe, which was my last resort (and a huge pain to have to restore everything). I still don't know what caused the issue, although I have some suspicions.

But in case anyone else encounters this error, it is definitely not the boot.img and I had no problems retaining root.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dsoler702:
I'm hoping someone can help me out here, but I sent a lot of text messages trying to win tickets to a concert. I've since delted all the text messages, but it still shows there's one in the inbox. I cleared out all the text messages and email. I reset the phone three times now and even took the battery out, but it still says there's one message in there. It's not a big deal, but i'd hate to have hard reset the phone just to get that off there. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rv046:
Same problem for me since 2 weeks !!! didn't figure out how to fix it !!!! except a hard reset.. which is something i don't want to do..

if someone has an answer... welcome !!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RavenY2K3:
Ive found the answer!!!

Ive found a fix if you guys haven't already and it doesn't involve a hard reset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChickenMaster:
I'm having this same problem, could you please post the fix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChickenMaster:
This is just an FYI to anyone else having this problem. I tried quite a few different things and none of them worked. I got the FixUnreadCount.exe from Raven, and that didn't solve the problem. I went into the registry and tried a few different things, including the changing the SMS and MMS counts to 0. That would work for a little while, but as soon as I would get another text message, the count would go back up for two messages that I couldn't see. I even completely cleared my inbox, but the count still showed two unread messages.

What I ended up having to do was disable threaded messaging (see the FAQs for how to do this) in order to see the two messages that were there. They didn't show up in threaded messaging, but when I went back to a regular inbox with all of my messages pooled together, I was able to see two text messages with no sender (not sure how that happens). I deleted them from there, cleared them from the "Deleted" folder, and then re-enabled threaded messaging. At that point, the count was back to normal.

[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
I have an old Pumpkin 7" MTCB unit I'm looking to replace (RK3188, 800X480 screen and I think 512MB RAM). I flashed Malaysk's ROM on it with Android 4.4.4 but it's really slow at this point so it needs to go. I've been looking at different options but I've been out of the loop for a while and I'm having a hard time comparing head units, mostly because of the different CPUs. I remember PX6 CPUs used to be the best but now there are plenty others that appear to have the same specs but are not called PX6 (they mostly just say octacore).

Also which brands seem to have the best track record so far? Dasaita used to be considered the best but I don't know if that's still the case. I've also seen a few units with automatic rotating screens, but I don't know if that would really be useful or more of a gimmick so if anybody has any experience with these please chime in.

Ideally I'd like to get a 10" screen with DSP and 4GB of RAM (I think 2GB of RAM would become too slow a lot sooner so I'd like to avoid it). My budget would be around $300 (I could go higher if it's really worth it) so please let me know your recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
I was going to buy the 6 Pro but after reading lots of reviews, I think I may buy the OP 9 Pro instead, especially now that it's on sale.

Display brightness and custom ROM support is a huge thing for me.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Just got back from T-Mobile.

I bought a OnePlus 9 Pro with Magenta Max plan (netflix, free data, etc) for $85/month including all fees (after $10 corporate discount).

They had Pixel 6 Pro too, not in stock, but for sale. And were offering $600 trade-in on my Pixel 3 XL which was a pretty darn good deal. But in the end the OP9P just had more of what *I* wanted.

Gonna probably miss that camera on the P6P though.

Probably also gonna miss Google Fi's voicemail to text and web browser texting on my computer!

edit: text-from-web-browser is a feature of Google Messages which is apparently not tied toGoogle Fi.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Buslova:
Well I'm sure it will get better with updates but actually the pixel6's camera isn't looking too great out of the gate. https://www.phonearena.com/news/Pix...s-Galaxy-S21-Ultra-Camera-Comparison_id135852

Also, if you use windows 10, you can always use the baked in "your phone" app to link your Android phone with win10 PC and receive/send all text messages and not even need to be in a browser. You can also set what other apps you want to see notifications on your PC from your phone. Oh, and make phone calls if you have a headset with mic.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, I see tons of posts from people freaking out/returning phones over a lot of issues that won't be issues after the software updates fix them all within the next few weeks.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Oh geez, my first regret at going to T-Mobile OnePlus.

Do I seriously have to "SIM Unlock" my OP9P phone before I can root it?!?

I thought only Verizon & AT&T gave a crap about root.

What a PITA.

90 minutes on the phone with T-Mobile, first person said she'd help me but then she accidentally hung up, second person said she wouldn't help me, third person said she'd email me in a few days with a form to unlock the SIM.

I'm not going to another carrier, I just wanna root!

Never had to do this on any Pixel before.

I checked eBay and everybody wants like $150 to unlock your SIM.

Which is about $145 more than I'm willing to pay before returning the phone to T-Mobile.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Buslova:
Yeaaaaah, buying any phone through the carrier is bad. They generally won't unlock it until it's fully paid off and even then there's usually a 30 day or so wait after it's paid off. That's why I just apply for a 0% interest credit card and buy the global unlocked variant. I've heard people say they've had success tweeting t-mobile's twitter somehow however I don't use twitter so I have no idea who/how that would work.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] aNGERY:

6 Pro, maybe next year, in the spring, if i can get it with 5-600 euro. Just like i get 9 pro.

I'm thinking of it because i've seen "leaks" of 10 pro. Is Horrible! More Hideous rounded corners!. Same Useless curved screen. The cameras design are copied from Pixel 6.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Barsky:
Order the pixel 6 pro. Wasn't expected to arrive until late nov/early December, which was fine. But the more I considered the incredibly slow charging of the pixel 6 pro by today's standard was a big reason I cancelled the order. I mean serious...our 50w wireless charging in a good deal faster than their 30w plugged in charging. It would feel like such a downgrade in that respect. And while Google's new CPU is supposed to be quite good, it is not as fast as the snapdragon 888. All and all, if I was on an older phone I'd probably do it. But I see no upgrade from a Oneplus 9 pro.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Deleted member 11873231:
So had a chance to play with the Pixel 6 Pro. Here is my thoughts:

Not sure if I like Android 12's user interface. Not too appealing. That's my opinion. The screen is nice and huge. Rear camera seems really nice with only testing a few shots. Selfie camera over saturates and sharpness is way too intense. Haha you could see every pore in your face. Phone isn't too heavy and the feel of it is pretty nice. From what ive heard is battery life isnt good. But the biggest plus Google has is NORMAL UPDATE SCHEDULE. OnePlus has been lacking a lot. My wife wants to possibly switch,so, eventually I will. Torn between waiting for a s22 ultra or getting the Pixel now.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] craznazn:
He forgot he's no longer on r/oneplus.

On topic: I had the OP9 Pro, sold it due to throttle. I got the Pixel 6 Pro, selling it now due to throttle.

Cortex X1 is a hot core, I am disappointed in all 2021 phones. When throttled, the SD888/Tensor both performs decidedly worse than the SD865. Guess it's the 8T for me until next year, maybe ARM will figure out the X2 or QCom will go with not-samsung as their manufacturing partner

Oxygen OS is killed by google!

About Pixel 6 Pro

I've seen some reviews about 6 pro.

Don't like Android 12 interface. Is cartoons, childish.

The screen is very good.

The processor manage very good every task.

Camera is good & is young. Is gone be better & better. The reviewer didn't like the way camera was filming.

Battery was good, but that depends on user/usage.

Charging is better than Pixel 5 bus very slow compared to OnePlus. Wireless charging the same.

I like the design of 6 pro (inspired from Samsung Note). I don't like curved screen. Is Creap!

Good is the fact that Pixel is the first to receive updates.

The price is still Big.
