December update - Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

Here at last ?

Got this morning the ota message too.
While writing this post, I can say factory image are still not uploaded, so just to avoid problems I'll wait the factory images release. I heard some people complain on the 4 xl forums about soft bricks and bootloops

I got update now - no problem..

Can't get it because I'm rooted. Waiting for a flashable version.

Uhhhh?
Sideload the OTA bro. https://developers.google.com/android/ota -- Or dirty flash the factory image.

OTA Update for Verizon XT1096 23.221.5.en.us

THis got pushed to my phone today, and I have it deferred for now, is there any way I can grab it for someone? Does anyone have a Verizon MotoX anymore?
is just a security update
I had the same file pushed to my phone yesterday. I cant install it. Since I'm using TWRP as my recovery, I end up in a recovery boot loop. It would be nice if there were a version I could flash.
Here is the official OTA update pulled from my XT1096. It's the security update (August 1, 2016).
You need to be on the latest official software which you can download here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...VERIZON_5.1_LPES23.32-25-5-2_cid2_CFC.xml.zip
Flash back to "official" status using the guide below (this will wipe your device so make sure to backup your data):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-return-to-stock-official-status-t3274121
Then you can take the OTA.

Thanks that worked great!

Security issues, what version do I need?

So I followed rootjunkies tutorial (also blocks OTA updates i think?) to flash my prime version to the stock version and now it's at v6.4 and Android security patch level says: June 1, 2016.
Is this fine or do I need to upgrade, and if so how do I go about upgrading from here?
Cheers

I did the same initially. I suggest flashing back to 6.1 stock (complete 6.1 out of the box flash from mrmazak's thread) then flashing one of the 7.4.2 firmware you can find here. Use SPFT and it couldn't be easier.
My 7.4.2 shows October 5, 2016 for security patches.

Cheers, I just followed Rootjunkies rooting guide and unlocking bootloader guide (forgot if I had already done this). Then I flashed this ROM in TWRP:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...fd3611a23c42ce769cb77d93e058695a15ec394a2e136
And it worked fine. It hung in the flashing part at the start but I waited it out and it installed. Then I reflashed the superSU zip again.

Does that one have the OTA updater still enabled? Can you disable it without root? I was thinking about trying that one. Glad it worked out for you.

Not sure. It's probably disabled for a custom ROM.

FYI, October 5, 2016 patch level is the same as the non-Prime V17 OS.

Yeah I actually ended up going with a V17 firmware.

[SOLVED] Is it just me? Stuck on Android 7.1.1/Nov 2017 Security Patch Level

So, when I go to try and check for system update, it says I'm already up to date. I have the stock 7.1.1 (RETUS/Non-Fi) Retail XT1900-1, (re)locked bootloader. Has there been no official OTA after November? (I did try to manually flash other builds/Oreo/Fi ROM/etc. but flashed back to 7.1.1 stock/Nov 2017 since Android Pay is something I use and other ROMs didn't let me use that). Did I miss something while flashing back to stock that's borked OTAs? [Tried wiping through stock recovery, through TWRP, etc. no difference) Any answers would be great! TIA!
Answer: Looks like it was just me.
Update: Fixed it! Reimaged stock from September 2017 and OTAs began to work! Right now OTA updating to 8.0. So happy!

Your OTA worked with TWRP installed?

Nope. Still on stock recovery. Since the stock recovery is nowhere to be found for this device, I have refrained from flashing TWRP (I had only fastbooted TWRP, never installed it on here).

Can't update to new OTA

My phone was rooted, so I thought it could be the problem. So I made a factory reset and uninstalled magisk.
Anyway, it keeps failing to install a new security patch. It keeps trying to install and always says there was a problem in the installation. What could be causing it?
I'm running the stock OTA with december security patch, since january and february had annoying bugs.

I never tried it, but when i'm on december patch, i flashed the december patch, then update it from system update. Make sure to backup your data because it may erase your data.
I tried to flash december s.p.
Got the message "Flashing error bluetooth_a" mi flash tool. Do someone know how to solve it?

Downgrade ota image

If you side loaded the December ota image, can you downgrade to November and receive December's ota? I think the Google image on their site for December is buggy on my device. I am hoping they didn't have the images mix matched since they renamed them twice.

Pretty sure you would have to re-flash the entire November image through adb. Then accept the ota before rooting.
I do know that others have faced issued when flashing the wrong December image, like face unlock not working for example.

So I couldn't side load the November ota, I would have to flash the entire full image? Then accept the December ota?

Anytime you downgrade, you have to do a full wipe, and then fastboot the factory image. If your bootloader is unlocked, I would first try fastbooting the December factory image to both slots to see if that fixes your problems, rather than have to wipe your device. You could also try side loading the December OTA to see if that fixes your issues as well.

Looking at Google factory image page, it looks like flashing the full factory image requires unlocked bootloader? I'm as factory as they come lol.

Yep. Like I stated in my post. I'm afraid all you can do is side load the OTA again for December to see if that helps your problem.
