Question No Android 13 Beta for Pixel 6a?? Why? - Google Pixel 6a

Hello,
have received the pixel 6a today. Wanted to install Android 13 beta, but that does not work. Is not supported. The pixel 4a and 5a is. I do not understand this. Is this coming in the next few days, does anyone know anything?
Greetings Mike

Have a bit of patience. You'll get the non-beta android 13 when its ready.

Pixel 6a gets day one update, global/unlocked build now available [U]
With the Pixel 6a officially hitting store shelves today, Google is releasing a day one update, while Android 13 Beta support...

Hell, there are not even images available for the Pixel 6a unless you are on Verizon or in Japan. Absolutely ridiculous on Google's part.

It's coming later this week they confirmed

I'd love to see A13 for the P6a tomorrow. Then regular release date for the rest. We desperately need some immediate fixes tomorrow so why not give us the whole shebang?

A quick google says...they are working on it.

Google claims they released fixes last week but AFAIK nobody that has a 6A that is not a Verizon or Japanese variant has received the allegedly released update. It's also not posted on Google's list of factory images. I hope but am not particularly confident that Google will make things right later today.

Yes, I also successfully enrolled in the beta but no update showing.
Edit: Just took a few minutes after updating to June ASB. Its showing now and updating as I type.

I unlocked the bootloader and clean flashed the June AT&T/T-Mobile image. I then signed up for the 13 beta and installed. Did a wipe after installation. Fingerprint scanner is not working at all.

You have to factory reset after installing either A13 Beta or A12 June update. After setting up again you should be able to unlock.

Damn so I'm on beta now. I have to do a full factory reset!?!? ‍ Then I'll be able to do it.

Unfortunately, yes. As another mentioned earlier unlocking wipes everything anyway.

Update 1.28..651.3

Did anyone just get this downloaded to their phone? I was working and grabbed mine to check something and seen it dl'ing so I checked and it was a update. My phone is supposedly rooted running Bad Boyz with MagisK V13.3. Haven't tried the S-off yet since it is only temporary and I need my phone for multi factor authentication. All in all I thought it shouldn't get direct updates...

Stock updates aren't blocked on BadBoyz. You can't install the update, but you can certainly download it...and have the ongoing reminder to install from now until you update to the new firmware. Have fun with that....

Updates are region and or Carrier dependent. Updates are rolling out soon for all other variants. Next update will be August security patch. Now don't go around asking in September why we don't have a September security patch yet.
I really don't get why people bug out for Security patches. You are more likely to drop your phone in a puddle of water in the middle of the desert than be hacked because a month or two outdated security patches on Android.
Anyone got the update's changelog ?

Another January update?

I just received a notification in my status bar for an update. The thing is, I've already applied the January update earlier this month. Anybody else getting this? Just curious why my phone thinks it needs to update...? I'm bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, Magisk 15.3 rooted and have the latest Flash kernel installed.
Yup. I just got the same thing. Any idea what it is?

I bought mine from Verizon and got it today too. I flashed stock back to take the OTA but it failed a few times. I was thinking it was a patched bootloader since they didn't do that with the January update. But apparently not if yours is from Google. There were some random lockscreen touch issues reported. It could possibly be a fix for that.
Sure hope it's not to lock the bootloader. My Verizon pixel 2 comes tomorrow and I want to unlock and root. I doubt it's preloaded already. Can anyone confirm you can unlock the bootloader with the new update?
I don't think it has anything to do with Verizon. I'm on T-mobile and got the 2nd update today as well.

Verizon doesn't push the updates. It is linked to your IMEI and pushed by Google.
Just got notified myself... Google phone on Verizon
Got it installed, new build number OPM2.171019.016. Maybe a bug fix release. I'm at work or I'd check it out more. It installed just fine though on non-Verizon Pixel 2.
just got the notification and thought I was going crazy since I just sideloaded jan 5th update yestreday
My wife's phone got it, however mine has not. Both are Google play store phone, on Verizon.
i don't see anything on google's website for sideloads.
It's probably for Spectre/meltdown patches/fixes.

OTA upgrade to 9.5.7 - T Mobile?

I don't have any version of the device yet, but I'm close to pulling the trigger.
But before I do, I just wanted to check.... Will the T Mobile version of the device receive the OTA updates, like this latest v9.5.7, along with non-carrier locked devices, or will there be a delay while TM puts together their own update?
usually all carrier locked devices take longer since the carrier wants their stuff in there
TMobile is always behind.

Well I'm only in 9.5.6 and that update just moved me from being 2 months behind on security updates to one month behind. Still waiting for camera update and I had to use a calibration trick just so I could fix the DTTW feature on this device. Honestly, as much as I like this phone, if you can avoid getting it through TMobile, I would recommend you do so. They will always be behind in the latest updates. That is the main reason why all my previous devices were unlocked Pixel/Nexus devices (minus a few outlier devices). I wanted to try something new and within 3 what realized why I moved away from carrier branded devices.
can someone explain the versioning to me? I bought my op7pro from OnePlus but I'm only on OS 9.5.4 with no updates available. How are other people getting 9.5.7 already?

Not sure; could be where you are on the map. OnePlus usually has incremental updates. There's always Oxygen Updater from the Google Play store. That will allow you to download 9.5.7 and install it locally as opposed to OTA.

@klym.software Since you purchased your device through OnePlus directly, you have the unlocked version which is on the 9.5.4 latest update. You have the camera fix and the DDTW fix. Those of us who purchased the device through Tmobile came with the 9.5.5 version, and were updated to 9.5.6. All that update did was move us from the April 2019 security update to May 2019. We are still not in June and probably won't be for awhile. We also still do not have the camera update fixes even though the unlocked OnePlus devices received the update 2 weeks ago. I hope this better explains the difference in version numbers.

You might want to check again. The T-Mobile 9.5.6 update was basically the April security patches not May, 9.5.7 for the unlocked version doesn't even have the May security patches yet.
About phone, click on Android version and you will see it's only April.

T-Mobile gets OTA 2 months after the security patch in international which usually gets them only one month delayed. I'm running 9.5.7 international and have April 1 security patch level. Since it's not a pixel, you have to wait for them to add oxygen stuff and test before releasing an OTA.

What software version are you on? It is most likely the update for the international/obal version that came out last week. I updated to it via Oxygen Updater after I switched over to the international firmware from the T-Mobile version.

What's DTTW?
This reply to everyone else as well..
Oneplus 7 Pro is able to become unbranded and unlocked "quite easily", so if you need the financing plan stuff you get via T-Mobile, or anyone for that matter, it won't hurt too much. There's a thread around here to get permantely sim-unlocked with not too much wait and it worked for me. (Usually you have to wait 40 days and fully pay off phone for sim unlock). Then, there's the conversion to international OOS, which is a MUST. If the guide is too complicated, perhaps I could explain. After the conversion, you can simply unlock bootloader with "adb fastboot oem unlock" .

Question New 7Pro - advice on how to proceed with rooting?

Hello!
Just got my 7P from the Black Friday sale (I'm in Europe so a friend who was flying in got it for me).
Still haven't turned it on. Question: should I update first, then root? Or root first, then update?
Maybe it's a silly question and the answer is "update first because updating will remove rooting anyhow", but I don't know if they have maybe changed something lately and rooting is more difficult or whatever...
Thanks!
Yu can always update your phone, some you will, before and after root
So if it's all the same I guess I'll update first or I'll have to re-root...
You can update to beta & then root. No worries. However, If you want to install a custom rom, you may want to stay on 12 until checking the requirements of the ROM.

If you want to update while keep root you can use Pixel Flasher.
i gonna suggest to disable dm-verity at the first time as well, so if in the future you opt to use custom kernel (which i think, you should) you wont need to wipe your phone

I've got one too in the last week ..Been so long and never had a pixel so I'm afraid to try it ..Need a new kernel ,only getting 4-5 SOT ..

Running newest beta just released ..I got pixel to root and stuff..Phones are boring now ..But I gotta figure it out soon as I get time .Just haven't had time yet
When I got mine, before I even inserted the SIM, I connected to WiFi and updated Android and Google Play, then I inserted the SIM, ran through the setup quickly, unlocked bootloader, rebooted and rooted using Pixel Flasher, wiping Veritas and Verification. That way for any future updates, I would be set to flash with PF, moving forward and that has been very simple
Thanks, awesome. Sounds like a great tool, wish there was something like that for OnePlus!

Yes. Verizon (and I assume the other US carriers) pushed out the January update last week. I got it on Jan 5. The US unlocked variants usually are a week or two behind.
I have the locked AT&T S22 ultra and I'm still on the December 1 security update. Has AT&T pushed out the January security update for locked devices yet?
