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.

Hey everyone,
I will clarify couple of things, which I was unable to find on the web.
Device: unlocked Pixel 3 XL , 64GB, bought directly from Google Canada. Bootloader is unlockable and sim unlocked.
I don't have any cell phone company contract either.
I was on Android 10 Beta 6.
I talked to google rep regarding which final Android 10 to get, .019 or .020, apparently those reps aren't allowed to tell you this information. Not sure why.
So he suggested to flash latest Android P (aug) and do an OTA update.
Steps:
1.) back up all my files.
2.) format from TWRP (since im Q beta 6) - gave me errors, but i guess it did go through?! not sure
3.) used "flash-all" for Android P august update.
4.)Completed all setup into the Android P.
5.) Went to settings to update Android, and got the Android 10 update.
6.)Android 10 update was completed after a restart.
7.) It shows Android 10, .019.
I had to flash Android P Aug 2019 before updating via OTA for Android 10 final version.
This was for Canadian Pixel 3 XL bought from Google Canada Store. It was sim unlocked and not carrier branded.
Hopefully it helps out others.
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.
My daughter recently got a new watch and the watch says it needs to run android 7 .
It is my old phone that I used to run rooted, but since then have flashed back to stock.
Updater shows that there is no new updates.
It is also running stock recovery.
Is there a way to run get android 7 on it?
Not sure how to without doing a twrp or OTA update.

As in the titleI want a solution to downgrade to Android 10I read that there is something about Bootloader or somethingWhat are your suggestions to go back to Android 10?I have SM-G970Fty
If the bootloader is different or upgraded downgrade will be not possible
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)
