If I check for updates, it says there are none. Has the update been officially released yet or is everyone "manually" installing it?
the update has been released official by sony, but it's rolling out slowly. For now the update showed up in nordic regions, but it should soon start rolling out in other regions. If you're impatient you can always flash the update manually. Search the forums to find out how to do it
Press Thanks if i helped you

Same here. I have bought the phone without any carrier attached and no update yet even though at least some other folks in my country seem to have it already.
Should we wait or we should do the manual update? With the manual update, do we have to unlock the bootloader? I would actually like to avoid unlocking or rooting.
Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll just wait some more.

no you dont have to unlock your bootloader. You install flashtool,device drivers and ftf file you wish to flash. There are great guides in forums, search for them how to do it
By the way, once the update is available through the phone's update feature, will it be possible to do a fresh install or is updating the only way?

You can do a factory reset after the update. That's equivalent to a clean install.

Thanks. How would go about doing a factory reset after the update? Sorry, I'm an Android noob as this is my first Android phone. Secondly, after the update to Android 5.0 will the recovery "partition" of the phone also get updated to Android 5.0 or will it stay at 4.4.4?
I guess they are doing a roll in insteaf of rollout. Im short to ditching sony

Rollouts take time with Android phone OEMs, the update must be tested and approved seperately for each region and mobile operator. Some regions and mobile operators can be very slow at this, unfortunately. Just be patient and don't obsess too much over it.
With non oem phones (international version not tied to carrier) is it still expected that I may not have an update yet or should I start worrying something is wrong and should start look at the manual update?

Non-carrier =/= non-OEM. Sony is an OEM
Is there where you do a factory reset? If I use this feature, the phone will be formatted and return to its original "shipped" state?

Do you know what steps I would need to take to get this OTA? I might skip it completely if it's not simple enough. I'm on NAE, rooted currently. I would probably need to reflash through Odin I assume?

I was rooted on stock rom --- I took the ota by mistake not thinking. Lost Wifi and root. Had to go into recovery and restore.
My N6 is still waiting 7.1.1 OTA, surprisingly, security patches come on schedule, but almost three months after release, OTA is not coming. Yes, I know I can sideload it, but one of the reasons I decided not to root it was not losing the ability of OTA updates.... any hint?
Thanks.

You can flash the stock rom and you will receive OTA . Unlocking bootloader dosen't mean root.
You WILL receive OTA updates just do as follows
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash latest fastboot images
3. Lock bootloader - optional.
Make sure you don't keep TWRP recovery. It isn't that good for installing OTA packages via system update.
Please follow the guides if you don't know how to do them. Download the latest one named 7.1.1
Press thanks if i helped

@Pocket_rocket Just a warning though... Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device.
Use the full OTA image instead. I believe there's no need for an unlocked bootloader then.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Edit: a word of caution... If you decide to sideload the OTA, it's not a bad idea to keep your bootloader unlocked. If anything goes wrong along the way, you can then fix it.
And about the update issue. Are you on AT&T? They haven't approved 7.1.1 yet...
Edit 2 (I just woke up, gimme a break ): If you use Android Pay or anything else dependent on SafetyNet, you can't keep your bootloader unlocked (without further tinkering) since that triggers SN.

Hi Didgeridoohan, Mine is now NBD92D (AT&T version and update thru OTA) but I don't see any AT&T logo on the back and my city(HK) does not have any AT&T service. Do you have any idea on this(Actually my Nexus 6 is from Australia).
In addition, if I keep sideload the OTA image N6F26U will cause any problem(except the Android Pay)? As you mention that Google does not approve any 7.1.1 AT&T version(Just tried to sideload N6F26U, it said can't install over a newer version).
Thanks so much in advance.

No. I'm on Vodafone (Spain) but I purchased this phone right on Amazon, so no pesky carrier should be acting as a man in the middle, I guess...
I mean, the phone runs decently well, but, given the fact that 7.1.1 will be the last update for this model, I want it. I wonder if is just a matter of patience or there is some other issue that is preventing my phone to get the OTA.
Thanks.
I have the same issue, m on NBD92D, which seems to ATT only, but there's no AT&T in India. I tried sideloading N6F26U, but it didn't work. Any idea how I can get 7.1, apart from waiting?

Yep, here as well. I have a unlocked M8s. Update is small, contains only system improvements....
*Update*
Doesn't update the security level, is still @ 1 oct. 2016. Not sure which improvements have been made...
I haven't received the update yet. Probably because it's Vodafone branded

I don't think so because I installed this rom(0PKVIM[email protected]60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed.zip). This update appeared after installation it.
I mean my phone is Vodafone branded. I'm on version 2.11.161.1.
I received the update today. However, yours appears to be much larger in size. Mine was just about 24MB.

I received an update few days ago, but 24Mb also. And i'm in France too.
There is an update notification. 2.21.401 (previously I'm at 2.20.401).
I have downloaded it. Does anyone know where it is stored now after download ( I selected install later)
The phone biggest problem it has been getting hot to touch as it is playing youtube videos. It then occasionally gives an overheat warning. i am hoping this will be fixed after update.

I don't know why mine was 638Mb. It is strange.
I found my update a fota inside the htc sense region of my /data/data directory
It was about 24-26 MB.
What does the update do? I tried unzipping but it cant be unzipped. I didn't try everything . I really nervous am made by ota updates.
I want to know everything it will be changing. I operate by "if it ain't broke don't fix it" adage... and it ain't really broke in any way.
I haven't tried everything yet. I probably wont install it since the phone is working well. What if it screws my phone so I can't boot twrp or something.

Don't get your hopes too high up, HTC didn't announce Nougat for the M8 nor the M8s....
As far as I know they only managed to release Nougat for the M9. Ten still doesn't have a legit Nougat in my family. We have a Ten and still no Nougat OTA.
I am corrected today. I just found out the ten does have the Nougat now.
I don't wait anything from HTC anymore. This phone will be last HTC for me.
To clarify, is this update for M8s or the M8? Because you are posting in M8s forum.
The Firmware I am on is G977UVRU0ASDG
I tried to update OTA and update assistant for PC and both failed saying this firmware cannot be updated. So I am really confused. Can someone confirm any further info about this firmware version? I enjoy the phone and I decided one day to check why I haven't gotten Android 10, and thus this is where I am now.
Also is it as simple as flashing the latest firmware via odin? If so, which site offers a dependable VZW firmware I can try flashing? Can I keep my files or would I have to make a backup first, flash via odin, then restore (which I hate to do because setting up a new phone takes so much time).
But most importantly I am curious to know more about this firmware version and what it is! Seems like VZW doesn't think its theirs. Thank you in advance.
Smartswitch says SDG, what is SDG? Is there a simple refresh/fix so that I can get OTA updates? Please help!

Hi everybody !
I've been testing Android 12 almost since it's release but now I'd like to sell my Pixel 5 so I have to downgrade it from Android 12 to Android 11.
I already rolled out from the beta program from the Google website. But when I'm searching for an update in the settings, it keeps saying "Preparing the system update". Now it's been 2 hours and still nothing happens.
I tried a factory reset but the problem is still here.
Do you guys have any idea of what I can do ?
Thanks !

Yeah, I agree it's not that difficult but it is time consuming. First you will need to unlock the bootloader and that will do a factory reset. Then the login procedure and flashing the latest factory image for 11 with a full wipe. Then relocking to bootloader with another factory reset and logging in again. Then deleting all your accounts so FRP isn't triggered when you sell it. Or wait until 12 is released, get the OTA and then sell it. I would make sure the OEM switch is set to unlocking until the very end. You never know.

You'll get an ota with the official release, then you're off the beta and it won't look for anything other than the monthly updates.
Relocking the bootloader should not be necessary. Try using the Android Flash Tool to flash the latest factory image. Try force flashing all partitions (I believe this requires a wipe) and if that doesn't work disable verity and verification. I did try to downgrade from the 12 Beta 5 before I got root working, but I was doing it manually via command line, and the phone wouldn't reboot into fastbootd.
Okay the problem is fixed ! I turned on the phone yesterday before going to bed and this morning it finally found the "update". I could downgrade it to Android 11 through the official way !
So if the problem appears to one of you : be very patient
Thank you for your help guys !
