Excellent video Chris. Just successfully installed 8.0.0 on my Essential. It took a couple of tries to get to my C:\adb directory but once I got there, everything went smoothly. Thank you
Seeing as how Oreo doesn't bring any huge must-have changes over Nougat and if the final version Oreo is due out before years end, I think i'm going to hold out on the Beta. Thanks for the quick look though.
Thanks I was able to sideload the beta by following your tutorial. Only problem I had was windows was hiding file extensions and I added a .zip and adb could not locate the file. Once that was solved I had no problems.
If u can see both sensors (monocrome and colour) of camera of Ph1 are not working simultaneously in naught. Does it is different in Oreo? Please check after updating both sensors working simultaneously to take photos. U can check covering them one by one while shooting still photos. Please update.
you shift right click and select the powershell window, thats the replacement for command lines, the commands are a little different as well. instead of just using "adb" you have to type in ".\adb" then the rest of the command is the same
I have made two attempts to sideload my phone now. Both have failed because the Update Timestamp is older then the latest timestamp already on the phone. I have factory reset thinking this would fix the problem but no joy... Is there a way around this or a newer Oreo zip file available?I I downloaded from Essential website

"Total xfer: 1.00x" What does it mean?
Hey, How does the scroll "jerki-ness" feel in Oreo? Could you make a vid to highlight it? Thanks!
This is a great video!!! I just followed this and now I'm already getting the OTA update for Beta 2 and 3 should follow.
UI looks clean...
Which Beta did you download from Essential's website? There are currently three there now.
Francis S. Fernandez start with the 1st build. Ending in .130 it will the update to .213 then .254
Awesome! Thanks.
Thanks for your Hard Work Leading the way for the rest of Us.
Worked perfectly thanks. Was hoping to find a guide like this.
Thanks I was able to sideload the beta by following your tutorial. Only problem I had was windows was hiding file extensions and I added a .zip and adb could not locate the file. Once that was solved I had no problems.

Mr. NURSE same to me
Total xfer : 1.00x error.. how to solve it !!... Please reply....!!!
Sorry for bad english
How long did it take for your phone to verify? Mine didn't do anything in 5 minutes. It doesn't show the percentange on the command either.
I am using windows 10 and maybe this is a dumb question but when I shift right click in the folder to open a command line, i do not have that option.

I get Dell adds when I want to upload the adb
Hey! Loved the video. Wondering if there's a way to go back to nougat? Oreo's been pretty buggy for me.

I am stuck at the verifying update for more than 30 minutes and no progress... please help
rabih33 same !! Anyone… stuck at loading..
Is there any risk in doing this on a sprint-locked phone?
Thanks! That was easy!
Are you still liking your Essential phone on Oreo? Did you move to 8.1 Beta by any chance?
I've been running LoS actually. But 8.1 beta is a great improvement over stable nougat
Yo, if you're stuck verifying, try using a USBa to USBc cable instead. it started working!
Thanks for the how to Chris! Received my PH1 yesterday and want to try 8.0. Is there a way to go back to Nougat if Oreo turns out to be to buggy?
yes. my other video shows how to revert back to stock
Thank you! Subscribed to your channel.
can get it to work keep saying the package version to install is older than the one on the device i get a aborted error.
try sideloading beta 2. I think your issue happened because you might have been on the december patch while beta 1 is on the november patch
how long did it take? ive been at verifying package for 30 mins?
Edward O'keefe didn't take that long
i was having issues in cmd but it worked in powershell win 10. but now since i updated to December security the installation is aborting cause its a newer build then the beta. anyway to easy roll back to November. this is my first android phone
Edward O'keefe welcome to team Android.
Thank you, I have upgraded to oreo. But I have one question, is it possible that I can go back to 7.1.1.
yes. Flash the factory image for the latest nougat build.I have a video on that already
Chris Panton thank you
My essential phone is a Sprint version, so is the stock dump that you provided in your last video work on my Sprint device.
Nevermind, I saw the Sprint build on the developer website. Thank you.
Hi. Great video. Can I install Oreo on Huawei p8 without problem?
Does it seem pretty smooth or buggy?
+Shawn Mileti smoother than nougat
Chris Panton ok. Thank you for the reply.
SPRINT JUST DID THE 8.1 UPDATE!
Yup
Why do you still use Windows 7? Upgrade to 10.
+Garry Reineke cause, I use w10 on my surface.. I enjoy w7 more
Garry Reineke windows 10 is very unstable
TheOneReaper 22 how? Just curious as I've had next to no problems from the RC1 to the latest update? Sure you not thinking of 8.1?
