I've been around this place for a while, but the Pixels have been a bit tricky. Just to clarify, the only prerequisite to flash is to be OEM unlocked?

I've never sideloaded like this, especially with the default bootloader/recovery.

Lastly, can we revert back if need be?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
If you want to flash the Factory Image than you need to be OEM Unlocked.

If you're not you can Sideload the OTA via the method in the main post.

I've updated the main post with a mirror for the 3A OTA: https://mega.nz/#!iWhFXaIL!O0fIHTWivEZR8My9q2C9AtEVO7uxJIPQIf51sKUFrTc
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] stevew84:
Thanks. Reverting back via same method?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
The file you mentioned is the factory image, which you can't use unless OEM unlocked, you need to sideload the OTA image using those steps, they were removed but heres a mirror: https://mega.nz/#!iWhFXaIL!O0fIHTWivEZR8My9q2C9AtEVO7uxJIPQIf51sKUFrTc
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dubt17:
Thank you! I thought I was out of luck, but couldn't complain because by turning in an S8 it's a free pixel.

Now it's a free pixel with Android Q :p
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] stevew84:
So confirmed working using the Mega linked OTA and sideload method?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
I'm sure you'd like another source, but the MEGA mirror is the exact file I downloaded from the Google Dev Page prior to it being removed. I'm just bummed I didn't grab the XL OTA zip.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] stevew84:
Oh no I don't care about the source. Just curious if the file itself and the method you provided is working for everyone.

EDIT: Confirmed working.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] crackedvenom2:
Yes thank you. I had edited the post once I saw you provided mirrors :)
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Vonsk:
Just out of curiosity, is anyone keeping track of 'known' bugs? I think it should be an edit attached to these kinds of posts if there are any major ones :D only one I know of so far is listed below:

-Samsung Wearable (does not open at all or communicate with watch)
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
The Top Issues are listed here: https://developer.android.com/preview/release-notes

you can also file bug reports there as well.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Vonsk:
I followed that link and did not see mention of the bug I just listed, which I did indeed file. I followed up on it and it was actually reported as a duplicate since others have already reported it (which leads me to call it a known issue). The only thing I found was some vague "financial apps might not work as expected" and that's about it.

I know it's hard to ask for here, but things that are lay-user or layperson friendly are SUPER NICE. Just calling out that Samsung Wearable literally doesn't work at all right now I think is nice for people to know going into it. *shrug*
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ClawMacaw:
It is still possible to find the original images for both 3a devices on the "Downloads for Pixel" page on the android developer website, the forum won't let me post the link.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
Yes the Factory images are and have still been up, but these are only useful to those who have a device that is OEM Unlocked. A good amount of people took advantage of the T-Mobile $400 credit trade in. And those devices are not able to be OEM Unlocked until they get a SIM unlock, while silly they tied the SIM Unlock status to the OEM Unlock ability. So for those with OEM Locked phones they can only use the side-load procedure wit an OTA zip which have been removed.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ClawMacaw:
I see. How embarrassing, I didn't realize there was a difference between the OTA and the factory images.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
If you have a device that is able to be OEM Unlocked you can restore using the Factory Image. If not you can go to this reddit link which shows information to context Pixel Support to revert your device.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] xxBrun0xx:
The other problem is that when you unlock bootloader, you don't pass safetynet (so apps like Google pay, boxer, many banking apps, etc won't work at all). You could unlock bootloader, flash Q beta 3 image, then relock bootloader, but unlocking it wipes your phone so you'd need to set up from scratch. Wait for the beta ota and you won't have to wipe to use Q
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jblazea50:
OTA sideload won't erase data, correct?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Correct. But the ota has been removed from the site.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
Yeah...no....I got my 3A sim unlock from Verizon because I went to Japan the day after I purchased it and I still can't toggle the bootloader unlock switch in settings. If you want a bootloader unlockable phone you have to go with Google.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] tim_m:
Tried to install this but it said it was older then what was installed. I assume due to the patch level being May while the phone now has June. I guess ii will just have to wait for beta 4, which i assume will be any day now.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kieran C:
I was trying to load Lineage onto an old One M8, I had just cleared the system, cache and data partitions using TWRP. I then clicked reboot, which I now realise was a mistake. I am now stuck on the HTC logo screen, none of the physical buttons are responding, so i cannot get into bootloader etc. I can't send ADB commands to it, it won't show up on windows file explorer, I can't even turn it off. As is said this is an old phone so I am not worried about losing data, which is probably just as well at this stage!

Any advice would be appreciated!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The physical buttons will respond, but you need to hold them for a pretty long time in the current "stuck" state. Do this:

1) Hold vol up button and power button, until the phone restarts (may take about a minute in the current stuck state).

2) Once the screen goes dark to reboot (but

before

the HTC logo screen appears again - I think you have 5 seconds or so), let go of the buttons, and

only

hold the vol down button. Do

not

let go of vol down, until you see the bootloader screen.

3) If you fail to get to bootloader, you simply got the timing wrong. Either started pressing vol down too late, or you let go of it too early. Simply repeat steps 1 and 2, until you get to bootloader.

4) Once in bootloader, simply select recovery, which will boot TWRP. And flash Lineage as you originally intended.

A note on wiping system when flashing a ROM: I know some folks will swear by this, and some guides will tell you to do it. But it is not necessary, and as you've seen can cause some complications. Nothing that isn't easily solved, but may give you headache nonetheless (like this case here).

The ROM install script will wipe system before it installs the custom ROM. So doing it yourself is redundant. And in the case of the ROM fails to install (it happens) you are stuck without a working OS. My recommendation is only to wipe cache, Dalvik and data when flashing a custom ROM (the default wipe in TWRP).

Any perceived "benefit" from wiping system is usually a placebo. In the rare event that the custom ROM fails to boot (or some other issue), you can always go back and flash again, wiping system (as a troubleshooting measure, etc.). Of the years of flashing ROMs (dozens and dozens of times) on various Android devices, I can count maybe 2 times where I felt I needed to wipe system when flashing a custom ROM.

This can be expected when "stuck" on the logo screen. adb will only work when booted to a working OS, or alternately when booted to TWRP. Same thing with MTP access (File Explorer).
[HTC Excalibur] PsychoPops:
Don't know if its appropriate to ask or not but I really like this theme but it doesnt show appointments on the front screen and I was wondering if someone would be nice enough to edit it to remove the madbeetle clock plugin and put the appointments plugin there or tell me how or is not cool to edit peoples themes? any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hmm you could try asking the original author of the theme, NRG. :)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I wonder how you get in touch with NRG? Maybe OrganicM knows. hmmm
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
As most of you know if you try to enroll your 3A device into the Preview Program, it will not show up and will see that Google is preventing them until June. However you can still install the official build directly from Google now which includes the May 5th, 2019 Security Patch.

Don't use the Factory image, as a lot of people are taking advantage of carrier specific promotions, most of these devices cannot yet be OEM Unlocked until they are SIM unlocked. So you will not be able to install the Factory Image unless that condition is met.

You can Sideload the OTA.

Keep in mind you will be installing Beta software on your device and doing so at your own risk.

I will be writing this guide in the perspective for someone who has never installed a custom rom or used ADB before on a PC.

Ensure your device is setup and you can access the home screen.

Swipe down from the top to access the settings menu.

Scroll down to and click "About Phone."

Scroll to "Build Number", tap on it 6 times in a row until it says developer options enabled.

Click back in the setting menu.

Click on "System"

Click the "Advanced" Dropdown.

Click "Developer Options"

Scroll down to "USB Debugging" and enable it, accept the warning.

Download the "SDK Platform Tools" from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

Unzip them to a folder on your desktop.

Download the latest "Full OTA Image" from here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota (3A Files were removed, I have mirrored the non-XL OTA, but I don't have the XL)

Pixel 3A: sargo-ota-qpp3.190404.015-dde326a4.zip (https://mega.nz/#!iWhFXaIL!O0fIHTWivEZR8My9q2C9AtEVO7uxJIPQIf51sKUFrTc)

Pixel 3A XL: bonito-ota-qpp3.190404.015-d4e9922f.zip (No current mirror)

Move that ZIP file into the Platform Tools folder on your desktop, do not unzip it.

Connect your Pixel to your PC via the USB A to C cable, the driver should automatically install.

A popup will appear on your pixel to grant debugging access to the connected computer, allow it.

Open the "Platform Tools" folder on your desktop, click the file explorer bar where it says "This PC>..." and type "CMD" and click enter, it will open the command prompt with access to that folder.

Enter the following command

adb reboot recovery

The phone will reboot, when it goes to a screen with the android mascot and exclamation mark hold the power button and click volume up this will access the recovery menu.

Select "Apply update from ADB." and hit the power button to choose it.

Enter this command into command prompt on the PC

Pixel 3A:

adb sideload sargo-ota-qpp3.190404.015-dde326a4.zip

Pixel 3A XL:

adb sideload bonito-ota-qpp3.190404.015-d4e9922f.zip

It will take a couple minutes, once done hit "Reboot System Now"

Congratulations, you are now on the official Android Q Beta 3 software for Pixel 3A!

Thats the Full Factory image, which wont work with non OEM Unlocked devices, you'll need to sideload the OTA Image, which has been removed, I have updated with a mirror for the 3A OTA image.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] caballon:
It's quite eatable or what?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] forbidinjustice:
Took advantage of the T-Mobile promotion so definitely not unlocked... I assume I'll have to sideload. Is the above 3A image safe/suitable for the 3A XL? Or should we wait on a 3A XL mirror?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bulls729:
Unfortunately they are different images, the OTA for the 3A will not flash to the XL and I wouldn’t attempt it either. I wish I would have downloaded the XL OTA. And no one so far has said they have it for the time being.

[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] w33baker:
I am pretty devastated by this. TLDR at bottom if you dont want story. I was using just fine for over a year and i finally wanted to root my phone with magisk. to do that i need to open bootloader so i went to sony page and do what they said. Eventualy i managed to succesfully open bootloader but my phone screen was black (with blue light its fastboot screen) so i couldn't flash magisk. I opened phone regularly and it opened as it was brand new(factor) after that i went to settings and opened usb debugging and i saw oem bootloader was open(checked with grey) on developer settings and i closed phone. After that Phone went Bootloop. I could only close it by Power + Vol Up ( after 2 vibrations it closes) And if i restart it again its on bootlooped again.. Power + Vol Down also goes for bootloop

I am pretty upset waiting for firmware to download so i can "try" to flash that to phone. Hope that works but if it doesnt ?

any idea why it went bootloop after opening bootloader?

tldr: after opening bootloader phone went bootloop. just like title :(
