lock your phone.. and make it inpossible to root, and read-only system...
Took a while to download via kies, probably due to kies is full ROM as apposed to OTA size.

I saw chainfire's tweet which suggested something similar.
Why would they do this? Makes no sense
Yeah, and it changes the SELinux from permissive to enforcing.

I haven't noticed any differences apart from an annoying problem. I get constant 'Prevention information' errors:
"An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device. It may be solved by the policy update service. It may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized route. Check now?"
If I try to use the 'Security policy update', it fails and says: 'Update failed due to network issues'.
My phone is not rooted and I don't have any dubious apps.

Ah yeah I'm not on 3 anymore after having nothing but trouble with this network I went back to Giffgaff, because Giffgaff runs on the O2 network probably why it showing up now with this update.

So , does it worth to make the update ?
I can do mine , but i have low battery ( phone charging atm ).
Anyone noticed some changes ?
THnx
Personally I wouldn't update to it yet, it seems to enable Knox and/or secure things a bit more. So I've no longer got root (yep my own stupid fault I know - should have left well alone) and cannot now downgrade to an earlier firmware to enable root.
I'm really, really hoping someone comes up with a way to flash a firmware on this version as root was really useful for Tasker with SuperSU. Plea for help here.

No, unable to flash anything with Odin at the moment, see the thread in my previous post for more details.
I downloaded the Flashfire apk in hopes I'd be able to flash from my phone without recovery and every time I try going into the app, it instantly force closes. Has this happened to anyone else?
It's probably because your bootloader is unlocked.
Honestly though I haven't heard of this.
I'm assuming you have the latest version and that you are rooted correct?
Has it worked at all on your setup?
Have you tried factory resetting, installing, and trying?
Maybe this might help someone who is more capable of helping than I am.

Have the latest version and I'm rooted. I've tried multiple times. Ah, I guess I'll just continue trying.
No issue with stock rooted.
No good. I knew one of the last 3 updates had a force close issue on 64 bit fixed. Was hoping it was that easy. Hopefully someone else will pop in for ya

There is one thing you might try. Delete the app. Go to your root folder data/data and delete the eu.chainfire.flash folder. Download and install the app again and see if it works.

Looks like it was just a modem update. Nothing too serious.
Only difference that I can make our is teh baseband updated from G935TUVU1APB6 to G935TUVU1APB8
Modem updates are generally about that size too if I'm not mistaken.

So this should not effect the bootloader? Its the one thing most people are afraid of messing up in fear of no future root.

Hard to tell without looking at the actual update. They could have added something else into it that's just not showing up in the ABOUT section.
Got mine this morning as well.
Did it earlier this morning, so far so good, not noticing anything unusal.

Isn't the bootloader locked? I thought root was dead as it is.
Maybe its a quiet update that will allow us to unlock the bootloader . Anyone toy with it yet? Wishful thinking im sure, but stranger things have happened.

Software Update force closing.

During the update, it seemed the device goes into Download mode, flashes new radios and firmware. Yay stability?
For me boot time is noticeably slower, and I have more trouble with apps on the sd card not having icons/being available for much longer at boot than before the update. Tests of sd transfer speeds are somewhat slower post update.
After the update, my wireless connection is TERRIBLE.
At first I thought my wireless router, but everything else in the house works great :-\ If I turn off the wifi, everything is normal. I'm glad I have truly unlimited LTE, because this is going to be annoying until they release an update patch.
I've already booted to bootloader and cleared the cache, no help. It's like a delay in connecting to anything wireless... Speedtest won't run because it times out on the ping test.
Hangouts works, but it's delayed. When I type a message, it says, "sending...." for about 20 seconds before it sends. :-\
If this is a nuisance at work all day today, I'll probably just backup everything and push the original stock rom from KIES.
Hey guys. New bug in the camera when trying to shoot in raw mode where the driver locks up and doesn't recover until a reboot. Video below.

I would imagine force stopping the system update software would get rid of the message and then using something like Package Disabler Pro to disable it would prevent it from checking again.
Just got the notification!
Android 9.0 - Beta 3

Don't notice anything new so far. It looks like the font may be slightly different, and the kernel has been updated. Still no notch settings, and the lag that happens still exists.
Sorry to be thick but do a have too sidload or flash or is it OTA?

hello together.
I`m on the beta 3 with unlocked bootloader.
When I try to install the update ota on the phone I get a installation error.
What could be the problem? Do I have to lock the bootloader to be able to install updates ota?
I know that I can sideload the ota update via fastboot but would like to be able to get ota updates directly on the phone.

Yes, as was mine. I always flash them through fastboot, I'm rooted and even when I wasn't I had issues with the latest radio not applying, OTA failing even though I unrooted etc. That's why in the post I said I just received the notification.

What's the best way to flash the fastboot files without wipe? Can I edit out the wipe command in the bat file?

If you're looking to update the build, you can just flash the OTA from the Essential site in TWRP.

Data reset solved the problem.
I also flash the .img myself, didnt get any error while flashing.
Anyway thanks your reply
Has anyone else given it a go on this phone yet? So far I think its working pretty well, with only a couple slowdowns.
Has anyone else noticed a bit of a slowdown with wifi? Sometimes I have to kick it over to LTE to login to apps, even though I can run speed tests and things.
Just wanted to see what other people were experiencing with the beta, sorry if this the wrong place for this.
Other than poor "stand by" battery drainage for me, I think it works pretty good.
But, Android Q it's not on Pixel 3A, isn't it?

Not via OTA, you can pick up the system image from the website and flash it manually though.
As to the OP, I gave it a shot for a couple days but I kept getting a bug where I'd unlock the phone and just get a black screen so I got frustrated and flashed back lol I hope the OTA thats supposedly coming next month fixes it up so it could be a daily driver.
Thanks antp121
I tried to find from official website the Android Q image for Pixel 3A and flash it via sideload or similar.

I've been running it for a few weeks. Side loaded the OTA as soon as I got the phone. They took down the OTA file but it's posted in this thread. I've had no issues other than a few apps not being comparable yet and there is no working Magisk out for Pixels 3/3a with Q beta.

Simply "opting out" of the beta by pressing the button on the web page will not change anything. But as soon as you (download and) install Pie, my guess is that it will erase everything including any esim profiles. When you go from one major release to another - especially a downgrade - the phone is typically going to be wiped completely. It purposefully erases all information to ensure there isn't any conflicts between the two OS versions.
