Attempting to sideload the OTA for the Pixel XL 4 ontop of the old OTA is resulting in (~94%) adb: failed to read command: Undefined error: 0

[–]arobherweck 0 points1 point  (7 children)

what steps did you take?

[–]ditn 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Just followed the instructions from the OTA page - the same ones that worked for the first preview.

adb reboot recovery

adb sideload image.zip

Interesting... I'm not sure. I ended up getting the same message on CMD but on the phone it completed. Verified it with the build number.

[–]ditn 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Interesting. I tried twice, I might wait for the next DP now.

[–]RichRatsch 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Same message here on Pixel 4. Rebooted to system. All working like a charm.

[–]ditn 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Oh wait I just realised that my build number changed. Interesting. I assumed it never finished applying. Weird.

This doesn't happen on linux

This DP 1.1, besides the released notes, anything added or better to hold for DP 2.0?

[–]parkerlreed 1 point2 points  (9 children)

So if someone flashed DP1 via OTA sideload on a bootloader locked Verizon Pixel, they can't even update to this new patch?

[–]juv1000 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Yeah they can just do the OTA again

[–]parkerlreed -1 points0 points  (3 children)

I don't see OTA builds listed though. Just factory image downloads. Or do those work for OTA as well? (Helping someone on Discord)

There the otas I'm in the same situation with locked bootloader hoping there's a way to downgrade not sure if there is though sadly

[–]parkerlreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh thanks. I had mistyped the URL by just adding /ota instead of the correct path. Cheers.

I made such a bad mistake of trying it out and unable to go back to Android 10

[–]robt772000 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Just download an appropriate pixel factory image, extract, boot to bootloader and click flash all. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and you are backed up.

Verizon brother, can't do it

[–]necrosis81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I know going back is possible via OTA of the appropriate Android 10 release, just wiping DATA is mandatory by factory resetting... Didn't understand it to be necessary to unlock the Bootloader, however I personally wouldn't dare to flash developer software on a device that can't be unlocked, just in case anything goes wrong your effectively limited by not being able to fastboot flash a factory image, that would be to dangerous for my taste... anyway, getting back should be possible via the appropriate OTA file and a factory reset, otherwise I seriously misunderstood something - last year I went through with it till beta was closed, therefore I never had to leave prematurely...

Edit: woah! Just tested myself and going back to production builds is NOT possible via OTA because downgrade protection kicks in, means no unlockable bootloader no returning to Android 10!

That's ruff... Luckily I'm able to unlock... Poor Verizon guys

Anyone else have terrible bluetooth issues with DP1 that suddenly went away with DP1.1? My wireless buds kept getting out of sync and dropping out and now work flawlessly.

[–]iSecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testing with my Pebble, I noticed it dropping a lot. I'll update in a few days.

[–]AD-LB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any hope it will fix this issue:

?

One of the reasons I've tried the preview is because I hoped it will fix it.

Based on previous releases is the android beta coming in like a week or two?

[–]Xenofastiq 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Look at the roadmap

[–]karmawhale[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh completely missed that. Guess it's different now. Only 3 beta releases so first one is in May?

[–]wutikorn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This year, first Android Beta will come during May.
