Same here. Hopefully soon, haven't heard of anyone actually getting the update yet so it might not be live yet.
You sure it froze? The update does take kinda long on the second step
About 1 hour ?
Think it froze, and i rebooted

you just flash this over F using fastboot?

Yea, TWRP works. But I've been just sideloading ota's instead of unlocking and rooting for the last few years. It has also been super fast and easy with the essential.
Drivers:

Google and install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot."
Download and put the ota zip file in the fastboot folder (I always rename it to the build number, too)

thanks
I'm on sprint and rooted to "F".
someone please confirm: to go to "B", first I need to uninstall majisk, the flash the stock recovery, then sideload the OTA, then flash the new TWRP then reinstall magisk?

2Sprint updating
If you're on Sprint like me, and are using an unlocked phone (like me) here's what you can do.
Go to Walmart, purchase a SIM starter kit. It will have to include a nano SIM card and CANNOT BE SPRINT (very important). I got one of those pre-paid sim starter kits and paid about $9.00.
When you're made aware of an update being released by Essential, turn off your device, remove your Sprint SIM and replace it with the non-Sprint SIM. Turn the device on and navigate to the settings, manually check for an update and you'll see that the newly released update is available. Install it, allow the device to restart and once the update is finalized, turn the device off and reinstall your Sprint SIM. Done.
If during this process you are prompted to begin activating service because of the different SIM, simply ignore the prompt and continue the download of the update.
BTW, this is an Essential approved method according to their East Coast Tech Support.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with sideloading the update, I just wanted to offer another method that doesn't require ADB interface or having to type code even though it is a simple and seamless process.2Ok, you need to flash the boot.img to the other partition, so in bootloader: fastboot set_active other. It should tell you which partition you're switching to (a or b). Then flash the boot.img to the partition you switched to. If the active partition is A, then:
fastboot flash boot_a boot. Once you successfully sideload the OTA, and you want to flash TWRP, just make sure you are switched back to the other partition before you flash. This whole partition thing can be very confusing.11
Well, good luck with the beta! I'm in no hurry. My phone runs so smoothly with the last update so I will wait for the official Oreo.
