We tried above mentioned steps on our Nexus 6P running Android 6.0.1 MTC20F firmware build (stable public release) and successfully got final stable version of Android 7.0 Nougat update NRD90M build.

NOTE:

  1. Un-enrolling after updating your device (from Android Beta Programme) to Android 7.0 Nougat update NRD90M build, “will not wipe any data” from your device or rolling back to Android Marhsmallow. We did trying un-enrolling from the beta programme and it worked.

We will soon post the OTA zip files/factory images for manual flashing on your Nexus devices.

Let us know if above trick worked for your Nexus 6P. Drop your comments below.
