[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
For what it's worth for the hundreth time it seems this question has come up in the last few months:

I haven't had any of the major issues others have had on any months' update to the Pixel 6 Pro (October, November, December, January, and now February). A few very minor things, but nothing with signal like some less fortunate folks, and absolutely no problem with the fingerprint reader, ever.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
Not sure if you know or not, but if you got your P6P from Verizon, you know you cannot unlock the bootloader right?

Outside of that, I have had very little problems with my P6P (Google unlocked bootloader version, on Verizon).

I'd say use the majority of you "return period" to play with and see if your device has any of the bug/issues. or shortcomings you don't want to deal with until fixed.

If you have a VZW bootlader locked device, many of the problems associated with rooting and flashing factory images you won't have to deal with.

As far as the other issues, only you can decide whether you have any of the issues, whether you're willing to deal with them until they're addressed, or if they make your new device no fun to have.

tl;dr

some users have a ton of issues with their P6P, others, like myself, have very, very few issues. I love the device, I expect hiccups with cutting edge tech so I'm not miffed about the learning curve :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nickdroid86:
I can never unlock the bootloader, even when it's paid off?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
Sorry to inform you, if you purchased the device through Verizon, that bootloader is locked pretty much forever.

My advice: return that puppy faster than the speed of light, get an unlockable bootloader P6P from Google. They have 0% financing available if you don't purchase it outright.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
To clarify further, Verizon's devices have for the entire life of Android not allowed the bootloader to be unlocked. The more common cases of Verizon devices being rooted were without unlocking the bootloader - they were worked around by vulnerabilities that were found in those devices. Later on, there were two or so devices that either had a time-limited window where folks stumbled on a way to get the bootloader unlocked on a Verizon device (I did so on my Pixel 1 on Android 7.10 - Android 7.11 patched the vulnerability - just for an example), or other outright hacks that usually have to be paid for someone to remotely access your computer and phone in order to root them.

My Verizon LG G3 VS985 and LG Tablet 8.3 VK810 used a method called "Stump" to work around the unlockable bootloader, for another example.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
For 95% of the population, they'll never unlock their bootloader, which is fine. My grandparents and my family will never unlock their bootloaders. But the one thing I always bring up is repairability. what happens in 2 years when you need to re- flash the phone? Nope. Not Possible with a Verizon model (only ota updates, where most of the time it won't fix your issue).

But I agree with the other comments, use it for 10 days and see how you like it. Only you can decide. If we said that 7% of people experience some small issues and 3% experience one major issue, what would you do then? Not try out one of the best phones ever made? Only you can decide. and this question comes up a lot on reddit because people read the bad and not the good.

Whoopie doo.

One more reason for someone to screw up their P6.

I allways tried betas with my pixels ( 2xl , 4xl) but right now im affraid of it.

Google is doing some sh** job monthly with the 6 series

Installing now. Third day without WiFi is not an option.
[Google Pixel 6] DMart9406:
Tell us something about it
[Google Pixel 6] nathanjace:
I personally haven't had any problems so far! Wi-Fi and Data works perfectly for me... but I never had a problem with it, even with the December update.
[Google Pixel 6] balaams_ass:
Can you still opt out (without data loss) when 12L is released and installed ? I see conflicting info out there.

Beuller ?
[Google Pixel 6] DMart9406:
I updated to 12l yesterday , couldnt resist .

Looks flawless.

No bugs found at the moment.

Wifi , bluetooth , mobile data , everything fine.
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxea:
Same here. I did notice that my watch's bluetooth is disconnecting and reconnecting a few times now but I am not sure if that is something else. Otherwise I prefer 12L to 12. Feels faster and better somehow - hard to describe.
[Google Pixel 6] DMart9406:
Yes, looks smoother
[Google Pixel 6] phillymade:
I installed 12L last night and so far its great! Data speeds seem to be improved as well. Have not tried blue tooth streaming yet, fingers crossed I don't loose connections.
[Google Pixel 6] utnick:
What are the notable differences with 12L?
[Google Pixel 6] johnblundon:
Just updated, so far it seems great. Anyone know if root is possible with current methods?
[Google Pixel 6] johnblundon:
Very cool, I guess just patch the boot image with magisk. Was afraid to try without asking ;) thanks for the fast reply!

[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
Not here. Fossil Gen 5
[Google Pixel 6] gi.ier:
Sorry for the possibly stupid question.

Will 12L be released as an update for P6 and P6P, or is it a parallel project that can be installed on P6 and P6P too?

I come from smartphones with nearly no OS updates, so I'm just curious.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
No one really knows yet. But it can be installed now as a final beta on the P6s. Final should be next month.
[Google Pixel 6] gbarayah:
Been running on my Pixel 6 for about the last 48 hours.

I did not have any of the WiFi issues that were present in the February patch, but did continue to high network drain.

Can say that since installing 12L, my P6 is as smooth as it has ever been. There are some minor hiccups in animations and GBoard seems to be struggling to switch themes when the system goes to dark mode, but overall, very impressed.

Battery life is also measurably better. In the last 36 hours, I had about 4.5 hours of screen on time with 24% battery remaining when I finally plugged back in to the charger. Would be lucky to get 4 hours of screen time on A12.
[Google Pixel 6] DMart9406:
I can relate
[Google Pixel 6] moldovanos:
After about a week, I started to have Bluetooth no sound problem, have to restart the phone to get it back. Other than that everything still works good
[Google Pixel 6] Haxxler:
Gotta say 12L B3 is great so far. No more UI freezes for me and it feels overall faster and smoother.
[Google Pixel 6] Motaba1:
Hey guys,

I used flash.android.com to flash the Android 12 v2 beta 3 (Android 12L Beta3), it completes successfully, well almost it times out waiting for the bootloader to be locked again. Problem is in the developer options I can not lock the bootloader after flashing this ROM,

Any advice, input people. Thank you, I'd appreciate some incite into this.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
The error is telling you exactly what you need to do - you need to update bootloader to the required version. If you are attempting to flash the factory firmware, the required bootloader and baseband files should be included in the zip file.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
I don't understand properly can you brother tell me with more details plz i tried already to flash sum upper versions bootloader factory images but showing this errors continue
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
The screenshot you posted describes the problem. When you flash a factory image, it first checks the device bootloader and baseband versions to make sure they are up to date. If they are out of date, you get the error as shown:

Device bootloader version is 'mw8998-002.0059.00'
Update requires 'mw8998-002.0076.00'

You need to update the bootloader and possibly the baseband version.

The absolute easiest way to flash the factory firmware is with the Android Flash Tool. Leave your device connected to your computer, and go to this link. Allow ADB keys access when requested. Before you flash, make sure you click the pencil icon to choose options, as the tool selects Wipe Device and Lock Bootloader by default.

If you are still trying to flash your device manually, make sure your Platform Tools are up to date.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
But bro when I trying to flash with Android flash tool showing this errors
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I haven't seen that error before. Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
https://xdaforums.com/t/failed-remote-command-flash-error-when-flashing-bootloader.3701929/

Yes properly unlocked bro
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Bro can you please read this post for me i think it's the same like my issues but i don't understand this things properly what i do
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I don't say this to be rude, but if you don't know what you're doing, nor understand the basic concepts at play here, you shouldn't be tinkering with your phone.

It looks like the user who posted that thread was able to fix his issue by sideloading the OTA. Do you have a custom recovery such as TWRP installed, or is everything stock?

I can provide instructions on how to sideload the OTA later today, but I must emphasize how important it is for you to understand what you are doing, because doing something wrong could result in bricking your device.

Lastly, please don't call me "bro".
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Ok sir i don't installed any custom recovery now my devices all things is stock
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Alright. Here's how to sideload the OTA.

Connect your device to your PC.

Download Pixel 2 December 2017 OTA. You can also try the December 2020 OTA. Do not unzip or extract these files, you will use them as-is.

In bootloader mode, use the Volume + and - buttons to select Recovery Mode, then press the Power button.

You will arrive at a screen with a green Android and "No command". Hold down the Power button and click the Volume Up button.

You will now be in the recovery menu. Use the Volume buttons to select Apply update from ADB, then press the Power button.

On your PC, open a command window in Platform Tools. Use this command: adb sideload, insert a space, then drag and drop the OTA file you just downloaded into the command window.

Press Enter. The sideload process will begin. Once it finishes, you will be taken back to Recovery Mode. Select Reboot now.

Your device should boot into Android. At this point you should be able to reboot to bootloader and use the Android Flash Tool to flash your desired update.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Sir i know this process but my tension is this process work properly or i brick my device
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Sideloading the OTA is actually the safest way to update, and the least likely of bricking your device.

As long as you're able to access bootloader, your device isn't truly bricked.

I understand your consternation, especially as it appears you're fairly inexperienced regarding this. Simply follow my instructions and you'll be fine. I'm trying to make this as easy and foolproof as possible for you.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Sir can I download this ota file for sideload or other versions
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Yes, that is the file I linked. Download it and follow the instructions I provided to sideload it.

If you don't follow instructions I don't know how else to help you.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Sir you busy now ??
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
When you free sir reply me i have one more last question answer me plz after that i try to sideload the ota
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
I see a video on YouTube ithink that is the same issues
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Whe

When I comented this Youtuber brothers he told me to sideload the latest ota file he created the video on 4 year ago but the latest ota is now Android 11 what can I do sir plz help i am confused he doesn't reply me after this comment reply
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I have told you several times what to do. You can try sideloading the latest OTA. If you do not follow instructions, I have no more help to offer you.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
But sir the latest ota is now Android 11 not Android 8.1 can i flash that
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Yes. Right now your only focus is trying to get the bootloader working. You can always run an older version of Android on a newer bootloader+baseband.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Okay sir my English is weak that's why I am not understand properly you sir only say 8.1 ota or 11 ota?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
If i iriterting you sir extremely sorry for that and many thanks to you for your all time reply
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Just try the latest OTA. Download it here

If you are having difficulty understanding me, you can use Google Translate
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Thank you sir I recovered my device successfully because of you sir all credit goes to you I love you sir 😘😘😘😘
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
I recovered my device successfully and my device is now running on latest Android 11 but I have one more doubt sir when my device is on previous bootloader or previous version and that is on slot a but now my device slot is b with latest bootloader my doubt is after sideload zip the two slots bootloader is updated or only b slot
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Essentially, yes - but it is nothing to be concerned about. It won't affect your device at all.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Theracerlucky:
Sir can I flash factory imges any version now?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
I can upgrade my current unlocked S21 Ultra (purchased straight from Samsung) to the brand-new S22 Ultra through work, but that S22 Ultra will be locked to AT&T. After selling my S21 Ultra, this would basically be a no-cost upgrade for me. Would you do that, or stick with the S21 Ultra? I'm not really interested in the S-Pen, so that alone wouldn't be a reason to upgrade for me.

My current S21 Ultra is the U.S. 12/256 GB version (so Snapdragon).

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm newbie here.

Sorry for my bad English, but I'm Italian... :p

I've a WM2003 based PDA, the QQAAXX WP2, also known like Mitac Mio 558.

Is there the possibility to upgrade its rom to WM2003SE or WM5 (I'd prefer WM5)?

If the answer is "yes", how I can do it? :confused: In the official website of Mitac Mio there's not an official upgrade... :mad:

If the answer is "no", is it possible to change WM2003 to a Linux based OS? If yes, how I can do it and what version of Linux is required?

I like very much this PDA: the hardware is great (400MHz processor, IrDA, BT, Wi-Fi,...)! And I like the double memory card slot, both for CF and SD/MMC. But I hate WM2003... I know very well Symbian OS and WM5, WM6 and WM6.1: they are better...

If there's no possibility to change the default OS on my PDA, what do you suggest? To buy Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard, I-mate K-Jam) or I-mate SP5 (HTC Tornado Noble, Qtek 8310)?
