Question: Has Google stopped the OTA push due to the corrupt data error some are getting?

I am in San Francisco and have not received the OTA update. Also manual check a few times but no dice.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
Dinner are saying the

Are you sure? Some are saying use the. O16 on unlocked phones. I have no idea
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dave Lister:
I also have an unlocked P6Pro on Verizon and have not had any issues with .017.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
.016.A1 is global.

.016.A4 is EMEA (Europe, Middle Eastern, Africa)

.016.A5 is Australian carriers

.017 is US carriers

It makes no difference whether your device is unlocked or not; the only thing that -might- make a difference is the model number; there was a difference on the Pixel 5 between US and ROW phones. From a software perspective you probably won't see any difference. What changes between the versions is the radio/baseband version which may contain improvements for certain regions. Use the version for your region.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
I flashed that one too. I was having trouble with signal and I did some more reading and it sound like I was supposed to flash 0.16. so I did. I don't know if it's any better or not.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SteveReno:
Has anyone tried "Easy Fire Tools" to Flash sys update Before?

Been reading here & there, this update has TxRx Bugs?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wilpang:
Has anyone noticed that the microphone icon on Gboard doesn't light up anymore to show that it is listening? I know you get the green notification but not the same.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] draexo:
It's the 18th, and I'm still not being offered the OTA on my Pixel 6. Is this normal? I'm on Verizon but the phone was purchased from the Google store directly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] robn30:
Is it possible to go back to the November update? Could I sideloaded that to go back or would I need to do a full flash via bootloader?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] swanb:
I got impatient clicking the check for update button, so sideloaded the December OTA carrier version. Was very easy and no problems on AT&T USA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
If you are already bootloader unlocked you can flash the full Nov image without wiping data. If not then you are SOL. This network issue is going to be fixed soon if you can wait. Too much bad press for Google worldwide.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] robn30:
I have an unlocked P6 but haven't bootloader unlocked it yet. Didn't really plan to and am willing to wait and see if Google addresses this soon. Kinda of like the extra OTA in November. I'm definitely seeing the increased network usage and that's what is leading to increased battery drain. I'm seeing roughly 10% drain during sleep hours when I don't even touch the phone. They definitely missed the mark with this one and it seems like this is par for the course with Google. I'm very unimpressed with their development team as it seems to be one step forward and two back. If you fix lots of bugs but render the device, which is a phone, unable to be a very good phone, then that pretty much overshadows the other efforts.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Any phone running on the Verizon network, despite where you got your phone, is normal that you don't get the OTA very fast. I've also heard a rumor that Google stopped pushing the December update, but all I'm doing is further spreading the rumor as I haven't come across any news articles about it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
I would hope they stopped pushing the update, it's been a disaster up til now. But on my P5 from Google on Verizon network, sim + eSim I would get the OTA immediately. The P6 OTA rollout has not been kinds to almost everyone. The Vzw update page doesn't even have the right patch level stated for the .037.A1 update, which btw is the last one on there. I think once these bugs shake out all will be back to normal come Jan or Feb.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
You can go backwards without wiping. You never used to be able to but I haven't had a pixel in a while?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
Of you're bl unlocked I believe so. I haven't done it in a while but if make a slight change in the flashall.bat it removes the wipe function. Someone here will post it for you.

Here it is... to update manually (take the -w out of the flash-all.bat file)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
That's cool if you can. I know going forward you have no problem but going backward it always used to make your wipe but I haven't tried that in a long time
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
As I said I've not done it in some time but I keep my ear to the ground. You can't go back if your bl is locked. To unlock requires a wipe, however.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] imivantj:
hey man, I'm getting the same problem as you. My build number is SQ1D.211205.016.A1.

The problem is with the Internet (wifi/mobile network).

When that error happens, just choose try again. When it boots up to your lock screen, quickly enable airplane mode ON. And then wait a bit, unlock the phone, and wait some more until the UI finishes loading widgets and other things you may have (widgets that require internet data may not load, and that's okay). After waiting a bit, then turn off Airplane Mode. And it shouldn't auto restart by itself and crash to that screen.

Let me know if it helps
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] revioo:
Hey.

Yes, i resolved that with the same guide. Anyway, thank you :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Mic Muted:
The update was pulled from OTA as it's still has a lot of unfixed bugs and problems. However the factory images are still up on the site of which you can use android flash tool on the factory images page if you so wish to update. However Google have said it will all be fixed in a "late January" update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] draexo:
I saw that. "Late January" for the December and January updates for the 6's
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] mmarquis:
My wife's S21 messaging notifications are repeating over and over again every few minutes. Sometimes repeating notifications from weeks ago. dozens at a time. The sound is very annoying.

It is updated to Android 12 and AT&T does not think it is their problem. Samsung is hard to reach. I've turned off notifications for Messages and it has stopped but not having notice of incoming messages is not OK.

Anyone else have this problem, and more importantly a solution? I will try to factory reset soon.

Dear all, since few days my Gmail application is very slow and unresponsive.

I'm using MMX MIUI A12 ROM 21.12.8.

I already try to clear cache, all data, uninstall it and reinstall it several times, to set all the CPU governors to performance and to put this app in higher priority, but it doesn't change anything.

Does anybody face the same issue ?

NB: All the other applications are running normally.

Thank you
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RollDload:
Hi, I found this, you can try if it solves. It is a post that I found on the xiaomi.eu site but being mmx based on beta china and xiaomi.eu it could solve the same...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] michelD:
WORKING!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RollDload:
very well 😆 so it also works with mmx roms.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] michelD:
Here is the answer from MIUI.eu that is also working for MMX and other derivatives:

"We are all experiencing severe lags and freezes in quite specific apps (ie Google Map, Google Calendar, Gmail,...)

This is a know issue to us, and it can be tracked back to China Beta ROM: Seems like font replacement logic is broken on MIUI for Android 12.

That's also why Global Android 12 ROMs don't have the lag - font replacement logic is normally disabled on Global ROMs.

Until this issue is officially addressed, here's a temporary workaround:

Settings -> Display -> Font settings

1. Make sure Roboto is selected.

2. Uncheck "System-wide variable font" and confirm the "Restart Device" dialog.

Hope we get this sorted out sooner than later..."

I've had my Pixel 6 for less than a month, bought it in Canada and updated in November to SD1A.210817.037, then rooted with Magisk. All is fine.

Now, I'm in Mexico with it, on Telcel, and the December updates have come out, but I have no idea which one to flash. Does anyone know?

The options are:

12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)

12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers) *** I'm pretty confident it's not this one***

12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers)

I'm thinking that it's the first option, but I'm not sure...
[Google Pixel 6] meechieballer:
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers) <--- I used this since T-Mobile is a US carrier

Probably for you, your best option is to flash the first option
[Google Pixel 6] AliasGprime:
I'm asking myself the same question. I've a Canadian model too. Once I bought it I flashed "12.0.0 (SD1A.210817.019.C2, Oct 2021, T-Mobile (US), USCC, Google Fi, CA, & TW carriers)" with magisk. I didn't even update to the November one because I wasn't sure, but I would like to do this one and see if that solve some bugs that I have. I just would like to be sure about the first option (which would make sence).
[Google Pixel 6] Kimbaroth:
I'm from Monterrey, currently using Telcel and AT&T. I already flashed the dec update, go for the 1st one (12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)).

=)

I know that the right thing to do is to wait, but... well... ok, I'll wait :-|

Does anyone know what is the difference between 12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers)

and the A1 version ?

I have a Pixel 6 bought from the German Google Store and it received the December update, but it automatically installed the A1 version, which the support page says is for Canada.

I have not put a SIM in it yet, but it is in Europe.

Why did it not update to the A4 (EMEA Carriers) version ?, which is supposed to be for UK, IE, FR, DE.

And which EMEA carriers are we talking about, only from these countries: UK, IE, FR, DE, or also other from Europe ?

I wonder if I can install the A4 full OTA package over the A1 version ?

Check the support page again -- it's been updated and now says the 016.A1 version is the global unlocked version. I was told something similar by a Google chat rep through the in-phone support function.

You're on the right build.
[Google Pixel 6] lpkallia:
I'm in the US. Google is telling me I can be either on SQ1D.211205.016.A1 or SQ1D.211205.017. Doesn't seem like a reliable answer. I have an unlocked P6P and I'm on Verizon. Did anyone get a clear answer?
[Google Pixel 6] WibblyW:
This is nuts.

Why would Google not have one image that adapts to the carrier in-play? After all, folk can change carriers/regions during the life of their phone. What happens then? The phone doesn't work properly until it somehow figures out it needs a different image and then somehow flips to it?

What about if you temporarily travel to a different region and roam onto a different operator? Is your phone not 'right for that region' and doesn't work properly?

So do these different images relate to different hardware variances of the phone?
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
I don't think anyone knows at this point. There are some major issues with network connectivity some are blaming on the December update and some are saying ongoing from previous builds. I'm in the latter group. They will have to come out with a new update sooner rather than later since this is widespread across the globe.
[Google Pixel 6] sakerhetz:
Magisk is running perfect on the december update. And no problems with 4G ,, I did a clean install on de December update.

[Google Pixel 6] TrusterX:
Hmm, looks interesting. i have a spare Nexus device, so i can easily try it.

ok i've successfully updated SQ1D.211205.016.A4 (EMEA) over SQ1D.211205.016.A1 (global) using full ota. Storeage remains intact. Sim works (Spusu / Austria / Sub carrier using Hutchison Drei Austria).

But upgrading to SQ1D.211205.017 failed with "Build newer than timestamp 1638904347 but package has timestamp 1638280743 and downgrade not allowed". The same if you try to revert back to .A1 Image, so you have to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock image. Of Course, all data will be lost.
[Google Pixel 6] AliasGprime:

Anyone know if i sideload, which one to use for AT&T Pixel 6? (mine is carrier-locked, purchased from AT&T):

or

12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
.017 if you're in the US.

As far as function, it makes no difference; the region specific versions usually contain radio/baseband improvements and fixes for carriers in that region.

Just flash the update, then flash Magisk

I also don't recommend rooting a Pixel, the proceed to install updates, Magisk may not be supported "yet" for newly released builds
[Google Pixel 6] ICEGalaxy7:
Hey Guys, if you don't know which one to flash, then just wait for OTA
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Yes, that is one of the ways to do it. But even if you're sideloading the OTA you still need to extract the boot image (for patching) from the factory image, not the full OTA zip. Just follow the directions carefully and you should be ok 👍

Magisk already got fixed for december update a few days ago (Latest canary)

I accidentally wiped a few days ago - I have a full root backup, but still a slight PITA. I don't feel like going back to unrooted too.

I certainly wonder what "12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)" is. At least "12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers)" specifies what it's for.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dataman100:
I was wondering that myself. Give it a try and post your results. I doubt it'll fix the root problem, but who knows. The radio versions are different between the two. I'm guessing it has updates for the US carriers. I wish Google was a little clearer on which version is for which phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
It's always been different radios. But who knows until we get a guinea-pig :)
