Hi, when i reverted back to android 11 from android 12 beta 1 my play store system update is stuck on January patch. How do i get to the latest security patch? i've checked for update but nothing happens.
Is this after the June update? Mine is currently on May 1st after the June update. If unlocked I would try dirty flashing a full image. If locked, sideload the latest OTA via recovery.
I'm having the same issue since the first android 12 preview,when downgrading to android 11, google play system update stuck at January,i tried many ways but no luck.
Same here with Pixel 4

Did you try flashing the full image and allowing a data wipe (fresh install). I'm guessing you tried dirty flashing it already. @2WildFirE

When you reflash your phone using a full image, it wipes and formats your partitions, returning it to out of the box condition. That is the sole purpose of unlocking the bootloader and flashing a full factory image. There is nothing residual after flashing this way, so it cannot be a downgrade issue. I also agree the Google Pixel community is totally useless and laughable.
I suspect it is a server problem, it seems as if the pixels are still marked as beta and are therefore not getting an update.

I suspect people don't want to lose their data by properly wiping & restoring their phone to its factory state.
U don't know how often I did a full factory image flash.
But nothing worked!

I met the same issue with 4a5g. I tried flashing 5 times but issue still come. Google play services system update will automatically display 1 jan 2021 when i log in google account ( the account i was enroll to using android 12beta via OTA, but i've cancelled android 12beta)
I think issue need to be resolve by google or we can use other google account.

Strange how it is behind. I thought new beta versions came out after the general release so they could roll the new security release into the beta. This would mean A12 beta would also be current. But I also haven't been running the betas for a couple years. Interesting.

Please share your solution with android 11.
Sorry mate, no solution for Android 11 yet.
Only works so with Android 12 Beta
So thinking if Android 12 goes out live for all, our problem is solved.
The solution on Android 11 is to simply install the "Main components" APK from APK mirror
It's basically you're just updating manually.
Main components APKs - APKMirror
Main components APKs - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

I do hate the new Android interface, large Button in the notification screen, screen that is also always full screen, can't control Chromecast volume with cellphone buttons.
So there is some major bug that are really annoying to me.
Is there anyone who rollback to A11?
Can i just Flash the latest version over Android 12? Is a full wipe required?
Full wipe is required when downgrading. If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to use the Android Flash Tool to install a previous build.
If your bootloader is locked, you will have to unlock it in order to downgrade.

Man, it's like I wrote this topic lol.
If we downgrade to Android 11, will it be possible to get all the security updates, or are they included in the latest images available on google.
Lol, 11 is no gem. I'd go back to 10. That is as high as I will go. Apple trashware is what Android has become, a bloated yappy poodle of an OS.

Just like previous updates, Android 11 on the Pixel series has now been deprecated and will no longer be supported with updates.

While you're entitled to your personal opinion regarding Android versions, your comment is neither helpful nor appropriate in this context. Some of us like Android 12, some like 11, you apparently prefer 10. Everyone has their own preference. I personally don't like the C8 Corvette, and if I were to buy a Corvette, I'd go with the C7 (or maybe keep it old school and go with a C3). But, I'm not going to be disrespectful to someone and imply the C8 is trash because it's a wannabe Ferrari.

I meant, if I download the latest image on https://developers.google.com/android/images , will it include the latest patches of Android 11 ? I assume I will not get an invite to update to the latest patches, but directly to Android 12 which is why I wonder if I will also have to install all the ota patches myself

You don't need updates.
Don't buy the scare hype.
Almost all malware infections are done by the user and most are preventable.
{Mod edit} 11 is just a bad OS by design.
Android wanted to make it "safe" and "secure" for even the ignorami.

Take a look at the link you posted. Every update, from the initial release to the most recent, is hosted there. The updates are cumulative, so if you install the latest firmware, it incorporates all previous updates.

That's unfortunate, I thought that may be the case... my bad.
Maybe a custom rom built on Q but this may difficult because Titan M security chip found on the newer Pixels. Don't know if it can be bypassed as it's primary function is security.
In Q scoped storage doesn't appear to be implemented at least with older apps. That changes with R.
At the least I wait for 12 to see wide spread release for a few months before upgrading; let someone else work out/suffer the glitches.

Easiest way: Use the Android Flash Tool. Make sure you wipe data.
I feel the same way about Android 12 and successfully did a rollback (with full wipe unfortunately) using https://9to5google.com/2021/10/21/how-to-downgrade-from-android-12-to-android-11-on-google-pixel/ as a guide.
However, my concern now is how do I block 12 from updating automatically? I've disabled automatic updates under Developer Tools, but is that sufficient? I keep getting popups to update to 12 but so far I've managed to dismiss them. Last time I inadvertently dismissed an update popup like that the phone eventually told me too much time has passed and it will update now without giving me an option to prevent it. Do I need to enable OEM debugging and/or unlock the bootloader to really block OTA updates or is there an easier way?

OEM Debugging won't do anything to prevent updates; disabling Automatic Updates should do the trick. Not sure how to prevent the notification though, I'm on the latest 12 release and still getting an update notification. So are some others that aren't even rooted.

You need to use an adb edit or package disabler to kill it or it will likely force update.
If the update downloads clearing the system cache before it completes may purge it. I haven't tested that though.
Go in settings, apps, In the Google Play services apps notification, there is a system update notification that can be disabled there.
I've format and install A11 back, rooted it, and since October 25, i haven't seen any update notification. I've already tried by the past to let the system update itself with the normal update way and it wasn't able to do it caused I'm rooted.. So i think I'm safe.

I might be wrong but the fact of being rooted prevent the update to be pushed.

Are you rooted? If so there are better alternatives for you.
Package Disabler is what I use as I run stock. There are numerous threads on XDA about ADB apps and editing. Use Google search to dredge them up, put XDA at the search phase end.
Hi all,
In November 2019 I purchased this Tencent ROG phone ii off eBay. It came with a ww firmware, however it seems like I am unable to update to any version on the Asus website.
I have attached my HW Info. What is the path I need to take to update this thing to android 11?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, you can't if your device is Tencent, even if you changed the fingerprint to ww and all the other stuff. There is a thread and someone made a small app or something that enables OTA ups for devices like yours (and mine) but I forgot the name and with the miriad of posts here, srsly I can't find it, lol. That thing work by changing the IMEI and other stuff iirc?? but since I'm lazy af it was too troublesome for me so I'm doing the upgrades like this: download the zip file from Asus website, move it to Internal root directory, I mean I just move with File manager from Downloads to Internal and restart the phone. Bam! after restart the phone asks me, do you wanna update? And I'm like O yeah baby, do you have to have to even ask? And thats all. Anyway as of this hours they didnt up the WW version there yet. There was a TW version for testing if I understood corectly but it's gone. Just wait for it
Thanks for your reply. If someone could link me with that app that would be nice.
I have tried every manual update on the Asus website (A9 and A10 ones) and I get "update failed" when trying to run them. This would indicate that i need to flash Raw? The thing is, I thought if I had a ww fingerprint I would be able to at least run the manual updates from Asus?
Also if someone has the version directly after 1908.12.0, I could try update to that via manual update, however I can't find that version anywhere on the internet. I believe 1908.12.1.1 exists somewhere, but it's not on the Asus website
I think u can upgrade by downloading the RAW firmware and install it
I would have to unlock my bootloader, clear all my data and flash via PC to use the raw firmware right? or would i be able to put it in the root directory of my phone and launch it that way?
Yes you have to use your pc and unlock the bootloader and everything it's not that hard and there's a lot of guides here u can use
No worries, thank you. I will flash directly to the android 11 WW Raw once that is released. I'm assuming there will be no problem going straight from 9 to 11 via a raw flash?
U welcome. And I don't think there will be any problems going straight to 11

A10 was a mess in the beginning, in the end it was better than A9.
A11, is even better than both. Battery life has been improved by about 15%.

There's never a known timeline.
You can't use the images provided by Asus in their downloads? The manual OTA?
Nope i can not use the images provided by asus in their downloads. No. That's why i started this thread. I get the dreaded update failed message and nothing happens.
For those with the bootloader locked and are not beta testers, there is a way to update to newest MIUI 13 (android 12) without losing data. I got the European (EEA) version of Redmi Note 10 Pro, so the links will be for EEA version of ROMS.
Here are the steps to do it:
1. Go to settings - about phone - MIUI version and tap on MIUI 12 6 or 7 times until "additional update futures are on" will pop up
2. Download your current version of MIUI 12 ROM https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.5.7.0...AGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM_03d5ef5aec_11.0.zip. Download it using a browser, do not download it with MIUI updater! It would be recommended to have the last version of MIUI 12, in my case is MIUI 12.5.7.0
3. Download MIUI 13 https://bigota.d.miui.com/V13.0.3.0...AGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM_73299ee316_12.0.zip
4. Put the 2 downloaded ROMS in the same folder, on the internal storage of the phone - for example: internal storage/download/downloaded_rom
5. Go to settings - about phone - MIUI version and tap on the three dots on the right upper side of the screen and select Choose update package, go to folder where your downloaded ROMS are, choose V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM/miui_SWEETEEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM_03d5ef5aec_11.0.zip and wait until the notification " Your device will reboot automatically to update to MIUI version V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM " appears, DO NOT HIT "REBOOT AND UPDATE" OR CLOSE THE WINDOW!! Simply go to home screen.
6. Go to folder you downloaded the ROMS using file manager and rename miui_SWEETEEAGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM_73299ee316_12.0.zip to miui_SWEETEEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM_03d5ef5aec_11.0.zip, all you have to do is change the name of MIUI 13 ROM with the name of MIUI 12 ROM you have selected in the update of step 5. TO be able to do that you should change something in the name of MIUI 12 ROM name, you can delete the last letters or add some numbers or letters.
7. After changing the name of MIUI ROM go back to update present on recent and press on "Reboot and Update", the update process has started by decrypting the update zip, after decrypt is finished phone will reboot. Now all you have to do is wait for your beloved Redmi Note 10 Pro to apply the new update.
First boot after update will take some time, don`t panic just wait. I did update my Redmi Note 10 Pro by using this method because I have a locked bootloader and I didn`t joined the beta tester program.
This method can be used on all versions of Xiaomi, Redmi phones and all regions (TR, ID, RU, IN, EEA, GLOBAL, TW) by downloading and using the correct ROMS. If your download a wrong version rom, for example if your Redmi Note 10 is using Indonesian version of rom and you have downloaded the global rom updater won`t let you to do the update, a message like Unable to flash Custom ROM will appear.
If YOU choosing to follow this guide, I am not responsible for bricked devices.
This is perfect, just installed it. However it still has old style quick settings, they might change some design in first official build...
Did anyone noticed that it changed the boot up screen? It no longer says Redmi when turning on but rather just the Mi logo. Same goes for the booting process, goes back to the Mi icon with the 3 dots instead of MIUI's letters boot up.
Yes boot up screen logo is new.
Also to anyone considering doing this, it's still in beta as it shows.
It's jittery, laggy and not at all optimized, you won't be able to downgrade unless you have your bootloader unlocked (which I don't because the phone is new so I have to wait 162 hours).
So flasher beware.
Would anyone be able to provide an answer to the problem that I expose below ?
According to what I read on the following French site https://www.nextpit.fr/xiaomi-miui-13-mise-a-jour-smartphones-compatibles, MIUI13 would be based on Android 11 and not on Android 12 ???
It seems to me really curious, even impossible.
Thank you in advance for your opinion.

I don't think you can downgrade, unless you have unlocked bootloader.
I'm running this beta for a few days now without a problem. There should also be official update this month and i'm sure most of the bugs will be fixed.
Hello,
Thank you, thanks to you I installed https://bigota.d.miui.com/V13.0.3.0...AGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM_73299ee316_12.0.zip, and it works very well,
then I installed TWRP twrp-3.6.0_11-0-sweet.img,
then magisk
and finally SystemRW/SuperRW (feat. MakeRW) v1.32.
everything is OK even the RW partition.
1000 times THANK YOU

Actualizado a miui 13 siguiendo el tutorial, sin problemas, ya tengo miui 13, todo operativo junto con android 12
If I install the beta version this way, then when the stable comes, I will be able to install it normally?
Bro I install miui 13 Eea Beta version 13.0.2.0 from recovery ROM . Now I want to go back to miui 13 Eea stable version is there to go to stable ROM without pc
Can confirm this is working. Tricked MIUI to update from 13.0.6.0.SJDEUXM to 13.0.7.0.SJDEUXM. Trying by updater app said "This rom is intended for internal testers". This is f*cking genius xD
Hi ,
I have 13.0.1 installed already on my phone and i want to install it again but get an error "the rom is intended for "internal testers" make sure your account has the required permission" , how can i bypass this ?
theres an easier way, in the updates section just tick the box for receiving updates sooner than everyone else, i had it ticked and it updated a couple week back to 13.0.13 EEA. Much easier than flashing. personally i wouldnt recommend it, my phone came brand new from Xiaomi already loaded with 13.0.3, everything worked great, but since it updated to a Beta the battery life is worse, and the phone gets extremely hot when charging and it does seem slower and laggier. i havent managed to downgrade because bootloader is locked and i really dont want to unlock it and ive never flashed a xiaomi so im not 100% on the process. If i had the choice i would stay away from anything above 13.0.3 until the issues are resolved.

Yes, plenty of videos online and posts regarding downgrading, however it can only be done officially and safely by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rom you want to go back to and will wipe all your data. that is the only official way, you can upgrade without unlocking, but to downgrade you need to unlock it.

Hi!
Is there ANY android 12 rom for the p20 pro? Or at the very least a rom with updated security patches?
Kind of a shame that i might have to replace the device just because of an outdated OS, the phone still works good.
The hardware should be able to do it no problem, considering i have a spare ****ty moto g30 that is running it from factory.
No Android 12 but latest update on mine 10.0.0.201 (received about month ago) has security patches from February 2022.. so I see no security issue there.
EMUI 12 (based on Android 11) is i think now in beta stage for P20 Pro.. so should be arriving in a couple of months...Stable version of EMUI12 on P30 series is rolling out globally at the moment... P20 series should be next...

And thats the reason why you don't get updates. Root is guilty. You have to update it manually, but you should make a copy of bootloader img from android 9 because in emui 10 (android 10) they deleted the option to unlock/lock it. Btw how did you got the bootloader unlocking code?

Ah, should have known. Thanks for informing me though! Any idea how to do that? Will share the unlocked image if it's of any use for others.
I unlocked it about a month or two after the launch of the phone through Huawei. Received an unlock code via email.
unfortunately I bought my phone a moment after they removed the possibility of getting the code. Yeah sure it would have use for others who were so lucky and got the unlock code (they would not have to install emui 9 to get the boot.img). Unlucky I can't really help you, only with theory because i didn't ever even rooted a huawei phone. I only installed twrp, custom rom and rooted my huawei watch 2 and another (samsung) phone... Continuing: In theory you have to get somehow the image with the latest version and install/flash it and then flash the old bootloader from android 9 (probably with these command: "fastboot flash boot path/name_of_the_img.img")

Android 10 is available for P20 series since about 1.5 years (can't remember exactly), and you should be getting security updates approx every 3 months.
If you are stuck on Android 9.0 you may have to update using HiSuite.
Built in eRecovery may help too (turn phone off, hold volume up, connect to charger and keep holding volume up until you get white menu screen, there should be option there for system recovery, select and enter wifi password, phone will download latest version of system available and install it)

I found a tutorial, but it's from 2017 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-rooted-but-otherwise-on-stock-emui.3702156/
Interesting, however is there even a working TWRP for the p20 pro? In any case, I'm running stock recovery.
I've looked at the possibility of using the app "Flashfire", might have some use.
Like I said I have no idea. But I have good news about updates. I just got the emui 12 beta so June or July there should be stable verison for everyone.

Just tested this, both eRecovery and HiSuite says Android 9 is the latest. Probably have to wipe the phone first.
And it just became even stranger.
Reset to factory from settings: Only removed my lock screen.
Reset to factory from eRecovery: Nothing, just a reboot.
Tried to install Android 9 from eRecovery: just derooted my phone, otherwise everything is the same.
Managed to lowlevel wipe the phone through Find my device, but still not able to upgrade.

EMUI 12 for old phones (like P40 Pro, P30 Pro etc.) is based on Android 10. Probably, only the recently released phones are based on Android 11.
