Is there a way to force update to Android 7 on Nexus 6P now?

I read that the following works:

1. Sign up for the Android beta programme: g.co/androidbeta

2. Enroll your Nexus

3. Unenroll after you have been updated to Android 7

Make sure you are actually on Android 7 before unenrolling. Going out of a regular beta will wipe your phone!

Cheers

This just worked for me.

Android Police posts the OTA images as people send them in.

It looks like the 6P image is available: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/08/22/flash-all-the-things...

Download it to your device, and either flash it in TWRP or use adb sideload. Note that if you've modified your /system, you'll need to reflash that partition with the stock image first (there are guides on XDA).
