Android is now available as open source

Oct 21, 2008 7:52 AM posted by Dave Bort [updated Oct 21, 2008 9:59 AM by Dave Bort]

Today is a big day for Android, the Open Handset Alliance, and the open-source community. All of the work that we've poured into the mobile platform is now officially available, for free, as the Android Open Source Project.

You'll be hearing a lot about Android devices. We've all put a lot of effort into the first Android device, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. But one device is just the beginning.

Android is not a single piece of hardware; it's a complete, end-to-end software platform that can be adapted to work on any number of hardware configurations. Everything is there, from the bootloader all the way up to the applications. And with an Android device already on the market, it has proven that it has what it takes to truly compete in the mobile arena.

Even if you're not planning to ship a mobile device any time soon, Android has a lot to offer. Interested in working on a speech-recognition library? Looking to do some research on virtual machines? Need an out-of-the-box embedded Linux solution? All of these pieces are available, right now, as part of the Android Open Source Project, along with graphics libraries, media codecs, and some of the best development tools I've ever worked with.

Have a great idea for a new feature? Add it! As an open source project, the best part is that anyone can contribute to Android and influence its direction. And if the platform becomes as ubiquitous as I hope it will, you may end up influencing the future of mobile devices as a whole.

This is an exciting time for Android, and we're just getting started. It takes a lot of work to keep up with the changes in the mobile industry. But we want to do more than just keep up; we want to lead the way, to try things out, to add the new features that everyone else is scrambling to keep up with. But we can't do it without your help.

What will you do with Android?

Damn....i read a bit and then realised this is not gonna work for the Elf :(

Elfin users yes but not elf......... maybe someone can hack it for elf users or provide a workaround

Please maintain subject line as per posting policy in the announcement. I have edited the same right now in spirit of this discussion. Please bear in mind for further times
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] AngelGc97:
I have wanted to install a custom Rom on my Moto Droid Turbo / XT1254 VRZ but the Bootloader is blocked, I don't want to put the stock rom without someone telling me, if it can actually be downgraded, in order to unlock the bootloader with Sunshine .

I would appreciate someone help me, the phone is old but I still want to take advantage of it. Thank you so much.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] drtweak:
Can't downgrade as far as I know without having a bootloader unlocked already.

The Turbo was one of the best phones I ever had and every phone after is just meh.

Simple trick that works just install free Super VPN app and update will work here in US and it didn't even change my CSC still running XAA bloat free
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Link is up also now

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] chocolatet:
Will this link allow us to install manually or do we still need to use Odin also if I decide to go the VPN route what do I need to do after installing that app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Installing the VPN worked perfectly nothing else to do after but you can also use the link to download and flash with Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] hkr:
dumb question: how can a vpn software trigger an update?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
The update server sees that you are connected from a different IP in another country would be my guess.

FYI, I tried this as I use OpenVPN and added a PIA Frankfurt Germany endpoint and it didn't work. Verified I was coming from Germany as well.

Doesn't matter, got the files via Frija, getting ready to flash as soon as I can find a working Type A to C USB cable! ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Not a dumb question I don't know all I know is it worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rhyme187:
what country should i choose?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pTeronaut:
No update trick necessary, the update is rolling out now.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AngryLady:
I'm flashing this via TWRP 3.2.3.0-vince.

It said flashing System unconditionally.. and then FLASHING VENDOR unconditionally..

Reboot. It was blank screen!

Then I try to restore my previous ROM via TWRP: CrDroid v4.5 (Ruturaj Kadam)

It's successfully restoring SYSTEM BOOT DATA partitions.

Reboot. It was boot loop!

I don't have Vendor partition backup of my previous ROM.

Please help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rk134:
You pressed reboot and you landed on a empty screen? Can you explain your flashing process in detail.

Can you drop your telegram handle so I can contact you a bit easier if possible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AngryLady:
Yes, Wipe Cache/Dalvik and then reboot.

I cannot contact via Telegram because my phone is in boot loop.

FLASHING:

Download Official Build crDroid 11.0 (rk134)

CLEAN INSTALL:

Installing crDroid v4.5 until v4.7.2 (by Ruturaj Kadam)

It's all boot loop!

Then what ROM should I install?

Or which partitions should be wiped?

View attachment 5590345

I think because Vendor partition or else has been overwritten by the installation of crDroid 11.0 before.

I don't have backup of that Vendor partition.

Please help. Do you have a flashable img/zip of previous Vendor partition? Anybody?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rk134:
no wonder you are having issues, 4.5 is oreo isnt it? 7.17 is red velvet (android 11), so obviously youll have issues

wipe system, data, cache vendor and dalvik, and flash 7.17.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AngryLady:
Wipe: Boot, System, Data, Cache, Dalvik, Vendor (what about Cust partition?) and flash 7.17 (Clean Install)

from TWRP 3.2.3.0-Vince twrp-3.2.3-0-vince.img

It failed and ended in empty/blank screen.

Restore backup crDroid v4.5 (System Boot Data):

it almost entering ROM, but ended in boot loop.

Clean install ROM crDroid v4.5 and v4.7.2:

it entering ROM startup, but ended in boot loop.

I think because some partition (Vendor or else) has been tampered by the installation of crDroid v11 Official.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rk134:
format data once, maybe your internal is encrypted

FORMAT DATA = LOST ALL DATA
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AngryLady:
I can't format data.

I need return to crDroid v4.5

But some partition (Vendor or else) has been tampered by the installation of crDroid 11.0.

Restoring backup (System Boot Data) and clean install ROM crDroid4.5 Oreo, all ended in boot loop.

Good day. Currently using crDroid 7.17.

Not sure if this was reported already, but I found that the default AOSP Camera has issues (green artifacts) when you try to take a picture with it. I installed Google Camera from Play Store and that one seems to work fine.

Other than that I'm quite happy so far.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No one should need these December images anymore. There is a single January update available now - 12.0.0 (SQ1D.220105.007, Jan 2022). It doesn't specify if it's a consolidated image to replace all the separate images, as Google usually or always does eventually for each Pixel, or if they'll release additional images.

It's available at the usual place: https://developers.google.com/android/images#raven

OLD:

The December full firmware and OTA zips have finally been removed from https://developers.google.com/android/images#raven and https://developers.google.com/android/ota#raven.

NEW - official download links for the images and OTAs still exist

Note, I found the SQ1D.211205.016.A5 (AU) official direct Google links here.

I and others are uploading them to make them available here for anyone who wants or needs them.

Here there be dragons. 🐉 I am not responsible for anything at all. 😹

I highly encourage everyone who downloads full firmware zips to check that the hash matches what you download, especially when dealing with unofficial downloads such as this, but even when official. You never know when a piece of nasty malware is going to infiltrate a site and modify the files, giving you an instant trojan when you flash this, and it might not be known about for months or longer.

Thanks section

Thanks to @SkandaH for making me aware that the official Google download links still work.

Thanks to @fards for offering to upload the A4 OTA

Thanks to @Dragon Kumera for uploading several full image and OTA zips!

Thanks to @cmh714 for uploading the SQ1D.211205.016.A1 full factory image and OTA zips!

Whoops, partially duplicative of @Alekos' post Google delists faulty December 2021 update for Pixel 6 & 6 Pro, preventing manual updates.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
Maybe just change the title to reference a download file for December factory image build? 🙂

Would be useful for archival purposes & hopefully reduce parallel discussion between both threads.

edit: you beat me to it 😅

Thanks man. Just flashed manually and im still having problem to enroll my fingerprint; tried to factory reset few times and still doesn't work. Any1 have same problem?

if these are needed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Wish I had done the same for oriole.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
edit-- sorry, didn't realize you already posted separately. I commented to your post anyhow.

Did you figure this out yet? I would try wiping the phone, installing the latest build from the flash tool website (specifically this link: flash.android.com/back-to-public), on that page, edit the options for "Wipe" and "Flash all partitions". After it's done, run the Calibration tool (bottom of this page: pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection ) - this should work, if not my guess is there's a bigger issue.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] t3ch187:
I wouldn't mind the OTA if you host it somewhere. Appreciate it! I have dual SIM and want to see how the signal operates. Dumb question, how would I know which of the Raven's to sideload?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would absolutely either be happy to post your links in the OP to downloads for that one three I quoted, and/or me retrieve them from you and I upload to Android File Host and/or Mega.nz.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
By whatever area you use a carrier in. If the United States, you would use the .017. Below is the full list of the December factory images that were available. I don't have any of the December OTAs, only the full factory image for US Carriers (.017) and the the one for UK, IE, FR, DE (.016.A4).

A couple of users are going to get me another full factory image I don't have yet, and a couple of the OTAs.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
sure ill try and upload them to mega drive later
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Proday:
Pixelrepair doesn't work for me (unknown reason)...it goes like this ~5min and then Phone restart itself
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you tried

Official Google Android Flash Tool

instead? I know several users over the last couple of months have determined that the repair site wasn't (at the time) updated to be used with the Pixel 6/Pro, but I haven't had reason to try it myself so I don't know the status first-hand.

Are you using the OEM USB-C cable that came with the phone, if you preferably have USB-C ports on your desktop or laptop?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Updated the OP with:

SQ1D.211205.016.A1 - Android File Host here - Mega.nz here - Thanks to @cmh714

Spoiler content hidden.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
File folder on MEGA

mega.nz

Not sure If I did this right but here my images for p6p.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you! They look great to me. I'll add your Mega.nz link to the OP as well plus add what I didn't already have from December to my links.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
Sounds good!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacLaughlin:
is this the december OTA?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes. The .017 US Carriers OTA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacLaughlin:
Great. Need A4 for Europe
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hopefully someone posts it, although there should be a late January OTA in a couple of weeks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacLaughlin:
As far as I see it is already included in the mega folder
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's an old image, from before December, one of the original images from when the phone first came out in October. Notice the date in the filename. August 17, 2021 (the original images that came on the phone when delivered were from August)

There should be a new update in a couple of weeks though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacLaughlin:
Thanks for clarifying
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fards:
I'll try and remember to upload the a4 OTA Friday night. Not by my pc till then to get the file.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you! Greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
I really should of downloaded the images I did not have when google stopped the update. But I really was not expecting a remove all evidence type of action.

Then there the whole lawsuit cease and desist for p6p.

I am in usa so only did the usa images.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Me too! I've done that kind of thing (created this kind of thread) for my LG devices a long time ago - but in those cases, it was only one image per update so was easier.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SkandaH:
@roirraW "edor" ehT

If I'm not mistaken, then you can still download the December 2021 images directly from Google's servers. Only the listing has been edited, but the files aren't physically removed till date.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're absolutely correct, thank you! They only have three of the images linked to on that site. I think the fourth (AU) was added to Google's page later. I'll add the official links to the OP, and duplicate copies of anything I didn't already have.

As per @SkandaH's post above, I'm downloading the A4 OTA directly from Google's servers, so you don't need to go to any trouble. I greatly appreciate the offer!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Take a look at @SkandaH's link below. It has all the original Google links (except the A5 for AU) for the December images and they still work.

Edit: Found the A5 links https://9to5google.com/2021/12/15/pixel-december-21-security-patch/.

Awesome, thank you again! Monday is just barely "late" January, but it's better for companies to prepare us for the worst and then surprise us with good news.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Good news. Interesting that they are releasing it on a U.S. federal holiday. Usually they don't release on a holiday but wait until the day or few after. Maybe MLK Day doesn't fall on their list of holidays, lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm certainly off Monday :D - of course I'm "off" everyday. They'll probably wait until 1PM ET and announce that because of the holiday there'll be a 24 hour delay. No matter to me. Hurry up and wait! ;)

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I guess they technically managed "early" January instead of their "late" January they were planning. 🤣 I'll wait until my preferred custom kernel is updated.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zleepr:
Anyone sideload this January bad boy?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
At least we don't have to wait through the long weekend. Can skip my flashaholics anonymous meeting now 😁

Will run stock kernel until Kiri is updated.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, someone reported 100% success in another thread. Don't quote me on it, but I believe they tried with Magisk Canary 23016, too.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
I just checked on my Pro 6 manually (unlocked on T-Mobile) and I got a 215 MB security update (never got anything in December). Installing right now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] thethruth:
Yeah same here. Optimizing as we speak
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
Laggy
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
Device rebooted. It's now on the January 5, 2022 security update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Modem seems fine so far. No dropped calls yet.

I haven't noticed any new combos or capabilities for T-Mobile, but it's certainly looks newer than December's. 5G carrier aggregation and high-powered n41 are still present.

Apparently there's new combos for UK carriers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zleepr:
I got it OTA and everything seems to work well. Though I didn't have any serious issues prior on the Dec update. No complaints here.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lycidias:
I was rooted with latest magisk canary on November update and tried ota but it failed. Sideload ota didn't work either and gave me an error.

Android flash tool website worked like a charm and now I am on january build without wipe and rooted again 😊

Feels nice and snappy
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Kiri 1.4 works great on January build.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Thanks. Yeah I saw that he said it would work. Just gonna wait until he updates it. I kind of like to run stock kernel a day or two anyway after an update just to get a feel of how it's doing and to be able to compare stock vs. custom kernels, then Kirisakura myself 🙃
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] johninsf:
Where did it drop?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The usual places. Just Google for official pixel firmware. Folks have also gotten the OTA. 215MB if they're on November, 47MB is they're on December. If you're rooted, use the full factory image, though, don't actually take the OTA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
This January build is working very well for me so far (T-Mobile, US)! Root still works, still passes safetynet and Renovate Ice 1.0 still works. I haven't tried any of the custom kernels yet as I prefer waiting a few days before doing so after a factory image update is pushed through (to get an idea of how much SOT I can get on the new build). But I've seen an updated kernel release for Kirisakura and for Despair already - so those kernels should work fine with the January update =).

Best of luck all! Have a wonderful weekend!
