So basically I've tried every method shown in YouTube or XDA on how to get the update but I still haven't received it. Should I worry about this or am I just a little impatient.

Important information:
After receiving the November 1st update my phone entered in a bootloop without any reason, I suspect it was due to the Google Cam app that I had installed while on 7.1 however I made it to 8.1 without having any issue so I doubt it. Anyway, after this bootloop I had no other option than to make a factory reset (loosing Gcam in the process). I was so pleased with the improvements the Google Cam made that I felt the necessity of installing it again. However, if used the same method that I did for the first time it would end in a factory reset since it had to unlock the bootloader. I found a solution on a thread which mentioned that this factory reset could be avoided if you press the volume down button while unlocking the bootloader. This worked fine. So what I did was unlock the bootloader, momentarily install Magisk, enable Camera2Api by flashing a module, uninstall Magisk and then lock the bootloader again. A restart later I had my phone working with Google Cam again (and still having to this day).

So my question is:
Could this affect in any way my OTA updates and be the reason why I'm not getting Android P?

Sorry for the long post but I had to make sure all this details were cleared.

I'll wait for a response :fingers-crossed:

You have seen all threads (both here and at miui.com) about broken networks?

The update was buggy, the phone should support LTE band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 38, 40.
After Pie update it only supports 1, 3, 5, 40, 41.
Among few other reported bugs...
And You still want it that badly?

For example I don't care about 4G, so maybe OP is on the same boat..[emoji846]
That could be the reason of course...
But quite many of people complaining that they haven't received the update don't read the warnings about this (and previous version) beta release. - AFAIK it's not globally released as release yet...

I was a little aware about those issues but it looked like it wasn't a big deal. But now that you talk about it feels like maybe I was wrong ??*♂. Guess I'll just wait and see what happens.
Thanks for the info.

PS: what I'm more interested in knowing now is if the process I followed could have affected the OTA's in any way

Update
Thanks for the replys.
I didn't want to sound desperate about the issue and if the update is having problems or bugs I don't know if I'm still very interested. I only created this thread to gather some information about the update since I can't really find any reputable source talking about it and didn't know if it is rolling live world wide o was just a beta leak like many people say.

Update 2
I have finally received the update via OTA without VPN method or anything. What should I do? I want to preserve 4G connection but I'm not really sure if the modem used in Android Pie has compatibility with my country's networks (I'm from Argentina)
