Here are some steps you can follow to resolve the issue or manually install the update:
1. Check OTA Update Availability*
2. Understand Staged Rollouts
- Nothing uses a staged rollout model, meaning updates are released to users in phases to ensure stability. This could explain the delay in receiving the update.

Prepare Your Device:
Enter Recovery Mode:
