downgrade firmware

Hello, I've got Pixel XL Verizon with firmware QP1A.191005.007.A3, Dec 2019 and it locked by Verizone and has locked bootloader.

I tried to unlock the method described in this thread, but I didn’t succeed because this method does not work after updating.

I want to downgrade the fiirmware to version on which I managed to unlock, but I also didn’t succeed.

I understand that this is due to a locked bootloader. But is there any other way to downgrade firmware?

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
The unlock method in the thread you tried was patched by Verizon.

So, I do not think downgrading to Android 7.1.0/8.0.0/8.1.0/9.0.0 will enable you to unlock the bootloader on your Pixel XL.

If you still want to downgrade your Android version you can try setting your verizon Pixel XL up as new.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] crackerjack1957:
Bootloader has to be unlocked to downgrade.............can side load to upgrade only.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
You are correct the bootloader has to be unlocked to manually flash a factory image to downgrade the Android version. Did you read this link?

I've had no success completely booting a treble ROM or GSI .IMG, is there any chance a section could be added to the guide for accomplishing this or is the device not capable?

No, but these threads might help you flash a GSI ROM on your Pixel XL:

Thank you. I had been referring to some of the guides however I was going through the motions while on Android 10. once I downgraded to 8.1 factory I was able to flash a treble ROM successfully. The device is now on Phh-Treble 10 with Gapps and April security update. really glad I kept at it :highfive:

hi guys I am not new to modding phones. However it has been a long time for me. I did have my 6p running on lineage for a while. But then I got the pixel xl and have had pixels ever since. I have not had a need to root or modd them. I currently have the 4xl and my wife has the 3a xl so I have this pixel xl sitting around. I want to get back into modding a little bit. I just need some guidance.

Currently I have downloaded the latest sdk for windows I will need a little assistance with that for example how do I put adb and fastboot into the root directory so I dont have to go through typing all the file paths in. I also downloaded the latest stock .img so I have a clean install if anything goes crazy.

Now I need to know where to start. I assume unlocking the bootloader is the same as the 6p. But after that do I install twrp then use that for magisk to get root? Once I have those questions answered I can probably take it from there. I would like to try out different roms and kernels and other mods. Sorry for the noob questions I just want to get it right. I always learn stuff on this fourm and thats why I love it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Start by reading the guide: Introduction, Disclaimers, Update(s), Prerequisites, and Index (Numbers 1 to 11).

Why?

...how do I put adb and fastboot into the root directory so I dont have to go through typing all the file paths in.

- There is a link in Prequisites c. (Need help installing or using SDK Platform-tools) that describes editing your Path Variable.

"Now I need to know where to start. I assume unlocking the bootloader is the same as the 6p."

- Assume nothing, several people have bricked their phone(s) assuming. Read #3 in the guide.

"But after that do I install twrp then use that for magisk to get root?"

- T.W.R.P. does not work with Android 10 to root: Read #9 to root.

There is no need to apologize for the "noob questions". Everyone on XDA was a "noob" at some point in their life.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mojorisin7178:
Thanks you for the help. And the only reason I apologise for the noob questions is because I'm a senior member asking noobish questions. I am just new to this because it's been a long time. But I remember way back to the tmo g2x and galaxy s2. I knew absolutely nothing about Android or Linux and because of the good people on this fourm I learned how to miss all my galaxy phones. So I just want all of you to know your knowlage is valuable and apriciated.

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] vjendra:
I tried....Its boots in TWRP but you cant flash anything
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] tidschi:
Then tell me why I have both?!

If I flash patched boot.img, I have Magisk, ok.

If I have Magisk and I flash TWRP with it, I have TWRP but after Reboot no Magisk.

But I still have both? Means Magisk is flashed with TWRP?!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] vjendra:
You can have both. But in TWRP, internal storage is not mounted so you can see your files. You have to wait for TWRP update for that
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] tidschi:
How can you have both, if you can't fastboot boot TWRP??

Otherwise read again what I wrote before...I flashed Magisk with TWRP, how that if internal storage isn't working like you said?

Really don't know where the problem is...

Flashed TWRP with Magisk, no issues.

Flashed patched boot.img with TWRP, no issues.

Flashed Magisk with TWRP, also no issues.

Ooops :)

Different kernel, so twrp can't be flashed.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
Excuse my ignorance (and off topic?) But why would the kernel matter?

And I thought TWRP doesn't work on devices launched with Android 10 like the 7T?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
The kernel is part of twrp. And the kernel is the part that connects hardware and os. So different hardware, different kernel, different twrp.

There's no universal twrp you can flash on any device.

Again: That's OP7 forum, not 7T;)

thank you all, any help please
[Android Head-Units] dachepo:
just need to know what firmware can install, since the one that came with the HU doesnt work easyconnect (android 8.0.)
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
You have a Sofia unit. That unit is running Android 6.0.1. That does not support phones with Android 8.x. There is no firmware that will help you.

You should better take a look at HUR: Head Unit Reloaded. It is made by an XDA developer.
[Android Head-Units] dachepo:
but in the info says android 8.0

thats not real?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
What info? From the supplier or the website or on your unit?

I don't see that from your images.

Also: A Sofia running on android 8.0? That would be the first that I know of (but I don't know everything :), not by far )

Your 2nd image shows a Bluetooth version of 6.0.1.-23. That version is not correct, but is shows Android 6.0.1 with some kernel version.

Anyway: Even if your Sofia is running Android 8, there is no (custom) firmware available that will allow it to pair with an android phone on 8.x or newer.
[Android Head-Units] dachepo:
Thank you for the explanation surfer.

That means i cannot install any of the firmware on this forum?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Probably not. Maybe you can install the gtxaspec custom rom, but only if your funrover is 100% identical with a Joying Sofia (which is possible).

Normally there is a fyt.prop where the company is defined. For Joying that id is 43. So even if you use that custom rom, you first need to change the id in the custom ROM to the Funrover id, otherwise your MCU will give problems.

And even in that case: your android phone 8 will still not be supported in Android auto/Easyconnected.

So my advice: Don't even try that route as you will not have any support.

Go for HUR like I advised in my first post.
