Hello, I was wondering if is there way to update to the June 2022 update for Android 11? My current build is RQ2A.210505.002 (unlocked, based in the US) from the May 2021 update.
You can go here
https://developers.google.com/android/images
But it looks like the farthest they go with 11 is 211001, I believe u will have to up date to a12 for June 22,
I'm on RQ1A.201205.008 right now and the last update for an app I use says it's incompatible in the app store. I've been able to sideload the app and it runs fine and the devs confirmed there shouldn't be any restriction for my device but I think I need to try taking the ota and going to Android 12. it's been so long since I took an ota and I have root and magisk. is there any reason to think taking the ota will fix that issue? I also need to find the right set of instructions to take an ota but preserve root and data (or preserve data and restore root)

and you're sure it wouldn't be better to side load the ota? I really need to make sure I don't lose access to the Google authenticator on this phone if I brick it I'm gonna really lose it lol
Dunno which one is absolutely 'safest' but I've used this myself with no issue. I guess just let a few others chime in and then pull the trigger. Imho, I trust Mr. Wu's mad skillz...fwiw he actually works for Google now!

FINALLY! Still waiting for the Ota to hit my phone... Anyone gotten it yet? And I'm betting March's security update is going to be included too.

I'll wait until I can manually flash.
Downloading it now. I will be really interested to see if they managed to address the stand-by bug that was causing excess drain and upgrade the modem firmware to improve connectivity. Those are the two main remaining issues with this phone. Hopefully they also implemented a method to force applications into full-screen, but I'm not holding my breath on it.
Updating now!!!

Already disappointed on the modem firmware front. No upgrade there. Also, no ability to force full-screen. Going to pass judgement on stand-by bug after 48 hour or so, unless obviously an issue.
The fact that it was not released to beta first makes me think it may just be an official release of the beta

I sure as hell hope not because the deep-sleep issue is horrible. You lose an average of 1.5-2h of actual SoT and the drain is regularly >1% per hour in stand-by.
I just keep getting an installation error, now I have a permanent notification telling me that the installation failed.

you are probably on Rooted device, or activate usb debug mode. Try to unroot if you are

I am on 8.1b1 rooted. I flashed the stock 8.1b1 boot img to remove root. Then tried to sideload the 8.1 official OTA zip, and I get this:
E: Package is for source build essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/release-keys but expected essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/test-keys

Not sure what else I can try short of the full flashable build image once Essential posts it to their website.

I was in the same boat as you. I was on 8.1B1 rooted so I fastboot flashed the boot.img, then rebooted , downloaded the OTA which wouldn't install.
Went back to boot-loader, flashed the boot.img to both slots, rebooted, took OTA, and it still won't work. I get "couldn't update installation problem"
I didn't have an issue getting the last OTA, the same way.
I dunno
Edit: Mine just did a factory data reset on boot up. I think I'll be able to install the OTA now.....

Yea..not looking to start over.
The OTA I downloaded was off the reddit announcement thread. I'm assuming that guy pulled it off the device. Essential said they were going to post "sideloading files" also. So, I'm hoping that those are somehow different. (Otherwise why wouldn't they just throw a link up there)
Wonder if Essential pushed it since Pixel is now offering pre release of Android P?
My radio has noticeably improved, instead of VZW its finally showing Verizon wireless. And the new developer options are nice

My install wasn't working either at first (same boat as you guys, Magisk rooted with custom kernel). At first I just did a Magisk uninstall and reboot but it wouldn't install. Thought maybe I still had a custom recovery installed, but there was no TWRP in recovery. So, I just did a sideload install of the 8.1 beta using adb and then rebooted. That put me back on stock 8.1b1 and retained all my settings/data. Then I made sure my settings were correct in developer options (USB debugging, etc.), and it's finally installing. Not sure, maybe I just didn't hold my mouth right the first couple times, but it's working now.
Can anyone tell me if stable has multitouch issues that were on beta?
Rooted 7.1.1 took the update just fine, lost root and twrp
Looking at META_INF\com\android\metadata, it's expecting essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/release-keys but, based on the text at the top of the screen when sideloading, the device is at ssential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/test-keys. Changing it is pointless, since META_INF\MANIFEST.MF contains a SHA-256 hash of of the metadata file. I'm going to try recomputing the hash and updating the OTA zip.
Edit: Didn't work. But has someone on reddit confirm Jank4AUs situation.
Anyone have a zip I can flash with the system updater built into the phone? I've tried the few that have been posted, however it is located in the root folder the local updater can't see it.
The way I get the updates is by Oxygen Updater.
Never had an issue, look for a local update.... install
Do not root ....

MOD EDIT: Language
I pay for my programs so I do not need Adaway.
For programs I can not buy, putting up with a few ads is the price of using the program
Also I am not always toying with things to get things like Bank apps and Google Pay to work, never have to worry about bricking anything.
Hi guys,
I have to remove "most" posts from this thread to clean it up. Please do show some respect when you discuss matters with a fellow members. I know that online forum is more open and free than real world, but if you would not say some harsh words to someone in real life, do not say it here either.
It is totally OK to have your own ways of using your own phones, but it must be done without calling names on a member.
Feel free to hit the Report button when you see a bad move on XDA. Thanks.

So the only way to get it to wait for official file from the Oneplus site? OR with rollback to 9? I do not want my data to be wiped :/
Any one knows any other way to go for stable 10?

It is supposed to preserve your data. But I never assume that it will work the way it is supposed to. That goes for any updates, and especially as one as major as Android 9 > 10.
Backup anything that is important to you on a routine basis (method of your choice - many options), and definitely before an update. Then as I like to say: Expect the best, but prepare for the worst. In other words, you will probably be able to update and keep your data. But you are prepared just in case anything goes wrong.

Titanium Backup your data?
If you look for how to unlock the bootloader for tmobile there is a thread on one pluses site where you can local updater flash pie, It'll setup like a brand new phone but all other info on phone is preserved you and restore with titanium backup.

u can use oneplus switch app to backup your data, then save it on your pc/laptop
follow official guild, change to stable channel, then ota to stable 10

Thanks guys for the tips, but I know how to backup my data. Problem is that I have around 170gb of data on my phone and do not have a space to store it. I will have some 2tb disk soon but it is hard to wait
hi folks, i was getting OTAs up to and including the january patch, but the feb and march ones haven't come up. i'm rooted on stock 10, previously was using this method of installing updates. but now, nothing. anyone else had this? nothing too controversial installed, magisk with active edge mod, systemless hosts+adaway, youtube vanced? obviously i can update and re-root via the factory images but just checking in here in case anyone has had this and has any easier ideas. cheers.
Same here. My OTA didn't come by 7th of February/March so I sideloaded. Was thinking maybe Google won't serve them if rooted or magisk or unlocked bootloader.

cool, thanks for the response, i guess that's my lot then. i assume i can
extract and magisk-patch the boot.img from the OTA
sideload the OTA
flash the patched boot.img
to retain root?
I never tried extract from OTA I used the full image. But I download both anyway.
My guide should cover it all. Look at the "Sideload the OTA" section..... https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3a/how-to/how-to-root-pixel-3a-preferred-t3938783
Let me know if you have any issues or suggestions on how to make the guide better.

Just wandering when the update will come ?!? 2022 ??
OneUI 3.1 just came out a few days ago with the latest firmware (Android 11 March update).
If you are waiting for your operator to offer an OTA update you might wait a while.
it came at 04/27 https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G970U1/XAA/G970U1UEU5GUCG
DO NOT update if you are unlocked. Damnit, they said way back not to take upgrades post March if you are unlocked.
I can't downgrade now or ODIN flash prior versions. Doesn't look like I can install TWRP. Have to see if I can install Magisk and still be rooted.

I'm still on Pie and One UI... running fast and stable.
All too many times the updates turn into a raw deal especially will Q and above.
I have zero incentive to "upgrade".
Not getting the CCP vaccine either

Yes, I really had no reason to upgrade. And now I may have flushed all that time and money to unlock down the toilet. Had things running really well rooted, too

I'm not rooted but my N10+ runs well.
Q and 11 take more than they offer.

Look for Pixel flasher on XDA , allows you to update and everything will be as you had it afterwards. Simplest and easiest in my opinion. Been using for every update
Question, when updating using Pixel Flasher, do i have to tick the disable verity and disable verification when flashing for every update?

If you want those to stay disabled yes. If you don't do it and decide you want to disable them later on. You'll have to wipe again.

Thanks for sharing this video. But this also means this 'OTA Upgrade Guide' from Magisk website doesn't work with the Pixel devices/ Android 13? I was using the OnePlus 7T before since 2020 (to last month) and I think since then itself I was following the above mentioned official Magisk guide to update to the latest OOS OTA's and major Android firmware upgrades too to keep the data and also the root. So doesn't this official guide work anymore?

It's hit or miss as to whether installing to inactive slot via Magisk during an OTA update will work. Some have been successful while many others have not. But if you want to keep root while updating, I would suggest Pixel Flasher.

Definitely Pixel Flasher. Only took my 153 seconds to flash Feb update and booting up with all mod, root and data retained.
