I updated to Android 11 Developer Preview by OTA on my Verizon Pixel 3 only to find that ADB sideloading and any normal path to downgrade has been disabled. Does anyone have any idea of how I would get back to Android 10 now? This variant does not have to option to unlock the bootloader.

As far as I know from my little research you can't downgrade without a unlockable bootloader. You have to wait till it goes from a developer preview to beta then you should be able to downgrade by opting in and take the OTA to beta then opting out and taking the OTA to downgrade back to Android 10, same as prior years.

As mentioned above you have to wait for the public beta and opt into that and take that ota. Then opt out and, if it is the same as prior years, you will get an ota to downgrade you.

I have updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0 manually via "adb sideload" and noticed, that the bootloader was not upgraded.
Should i upgrade my bootloader manually?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
Greetings,

Does nobody know an answer?
It's the same bootloader as the last preview so if you were using that it won't change
I've never installed the preview.
I updated from 4.4.4 to 5.0 and noticed, that my bootloader didnt't upgrade(but the radio did).

If your stock then when a update comes out it won't install. Other then that it doesn't affect anything.
So if i don't upgrade manually i won't be able to update Android.
Did i understand this correctly?
Are there any downsides, if I upgrade the bootloader?

If your running perfectly fine now then don't worry about it. If in the future you have issues upgrading or device won't boot properly then update it.
If you recieve a OTA update it'll check the version number of your bootloader and if it doesn't match what it's supposed to be then the OTA will refuse to install. I ran my nexus 7 1st edition for 8 months with an older version bootloader with no neg results. Updated it when flashing the Factory image, not that it needed it. Just for the sake of argument go ahead and update the bootloader using fastboot. Google updated the bootloader for a reason right?

Pretty sure you are supposed to be able to leave the beta and then it sends a downgrade OTA. You could try sideloading 8.1 through adb, but I'm not sure if that would cause any issues. I've only used fastboot for this on my nexus/pixel devices so maybe someone else can help you more.
P is March 18. You can't downgrade earlier than that, but the factory image is March 5th, so you'll have to wait for the April 5th factory image to convert back to O.
I do have an unlocked bootloader pixel 3a and ran the official Android 10 since I got it. Then decided to try Android 11 Dev preview for a few days and now would like to go back to official Android 10. Is there a step by step tutorial or even possible to go back? Or am I stuck with it.
Edit: NVM I've got it back to official stock Android 10 latest update.
so, in short.
i want to ask for help to get ota updates link.
To get the OTA .zip update link, you're going to have to do a little tricky thing.
Put the original ROM first version of Android 11 or Security Patch Month 7, 8, 9, 10 or Month 11 of 2021.
Requires Unlocked Bootloader and Original Rom (RETBR)
When searching for the link it might look like this: https://dlmgr.gtm.svcmot.com/dl/dlws/1/

Yes me too, that is why i am asking why the OTA isnt coming to our devices
Oh right
I think it's a bug or something. If you have previous than 13.0.10 versions software you can probably update directly. But if you have 13.0.10 you can't. You'd probably can update when there's an update who switches to the most recent security patches. You can't even force install via options not miflash not recovery flashable roms. I know cause i've tried that. Only way to do it is unlock bootloader, which is not adviced since you'll lose warranty. Anyway, only change i noticed is the toggles being a bit different. You just have the brightness and volume sliders vertically. Everything else looks the same to me. Of course you can always update with miflash and relock bootloader, but it's a risk. Either way you'll need to backup your data before doing it

Hi, same problem here.
I have version 13.0.10.0 with Android 11 and I am not receiving OTA updates.
Through recovery mode it doesn't let me update to version 13.0.2.0 or 13.0.3.0 with Android 12.
I tried everything but nothing.
How to do?
It's so crazy this phone is still on A11 lol..
