Don't get me wrong, but two things are possible for a potential boot with our devices.

I'm searching for the DP2 OTA, but I can't find that one anywhere.

Also, maybe the latest normal Ota will work of April, I'm also trying that one.

I do get quite mad with Google in regard of their customer service towards this issue, they closed my bug issue quite fast... and are trying to deflect my warranty claim...

I really hope I going to work again for the ones with the broken phones... as withmine.... It's my own fault to start with, but the negligence of Google is through the roof on this one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't think there was a DP2 OTA, was there? When there was a problem with the DP1 OTA, they stopped offering OTAs until this Beta 1 came out.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dr.Pepper:
Looks like it wasnt 15 dp bug, as google noted. It came frome qpr 3 beta 1. Google mentioned nothing and realesed updated with this bug!

One user mentioned:

it was never a Beta thing, and Google silently messed it up from QPR3 Beta 1 without any warning.

And im 100% agree)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Undermyoath:
That means that we will be stuck until the stable releases to say the least?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BIGWORM:
Anyone having issues with patching init_boot.img with Magisk? Whenever it starts to copy image to cache, app just force closes. I've tried Magisk Stable, Canary, and Magisk Delta Canary and they all force close as well. I also can't get Developer Options to show, either.

Any help? =(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
The Developer Options is a known issue on A15 Beta 1.

Not sure why you're having problems patching the init_boot.img. Seen others successfully root with Magisk on A15 Beta 1.

Just remember setting SELinux to permissive will decrease the security of your device.

"Please help spread this information! We should stop the toxic and irresponsible mentality of releasing SELinux permissive ROMs/kernels in this community. You should never, *EVER* switch to permissive unless actually doing development/debugging."

"Let me reinforce this point: setting SELinux to permissive is literally nuking a SIGNIFICANT portion of modern Android's security. This is absolutely not analogous to rooting with proper implementations, taking Magisk as an example."

I apologise for this noob question, but is it possible to downgrade from 15 beta to 14, if my bootloader still locked? I got Verizon pixel so can't unlock them.

Tried side loading OTA image but for rejected due to older timestamp.

Many thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's okay to ask. No, with a locked bootloader, you can never, ever downgrade if you applied the Beta OTA manually.

I don't remember if, with a locked bootloader, if you officially opted into the Beta via:

Android Beta Program

Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.

www.google.com

if you opted back out, if you would get the downgrade OTA (and also would factory reset your device). Anyone else know for sure? I have the feeling that you can't downgrade even then with a locked bootloader.

It is always recommended to only run Betas with an unlocked bootloader.

@roirraW "edor" ehT you are absolutely spot on! Opting out and doing an update put me back on the stable release. Thanks heaps!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's great. You're welcome! As a matter of fact, I wonder if any user manually applied the Beta OTA, but later opted-in and much later opted back out, if that would also downgrade them. It's very possible. But I suppose I'm not positive if this was your scenario - if you opted in after the fact, or before.

A lot of users don't want to deal with the factory reset, though, but for those who don't mind...

Did it occur to you that these builds are EARLY BETA releases and are not really intended for people who need a stable experience?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not using the Beta, so I can't report if anyone else has experienced the same thing or not. Try wiping the data and cache for the Photos app? It'll rebuild since everything's in the cloud.

The only other possibility to try is extreme, but sometimes the Beta releases work much better after a factory reset - just be prepared with everything backed up if you try that. There's no guarantee that'll fix the issue, either.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Piombofed:
Thank you very much for the reply, you had already tried a factory reset but I had no improvements
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:

I can confirm that AP31.240426.023 Android 15 Beta 2.1 is performing very well so far.

For those who are hesitating whether to upgrade to Android 15. Yesterday I updated and flased the cheetah_beta-ap31.240426.023-factory-1cd5b257 file from my computer using flash-all.bat. Android 15 works normally. I didn't encounter any major problems. All applications work normally. I didn't lose any data. Just to be on the safe side, I've checked OEM Lock Off in the settings in case something goes wrong. Magisk, Zygisk and Pixel Xpert also work on Canary versions for me.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hopefully it's merely a Beta issue related to when you did have the app installed that'll be fixed in the Stable release probably 2+months from now, or even earlier on Beta 3 or 4.

If you know the package name, you can use Pixel Flasher and see if it's secretly still installed somehow.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! Use either of the following two sections (factory image or Full OTA Zip) in my Pixel 7 Pro Stable thread:

You don't have to follow any of the instructions for actually flashing the factory image or Full OTA Zip, but the instructions for patching via Magisk are in there.

I recommend the Full OTA Zip instructions even for that purpose, because I've refined those instructions the most over the last year and some months.

Feel free to ask any further questions about that process here or in the Stable thread - either one, doesn't matter, but there'll likely be more users paying attention to the Stable thread than the Beta one.

Good luck!
