I don't know if this question has been asked and I've combed the threads. When the Android P beta program starts (hopefully tomorrow) will I need an unlocked bootloader for that? I'm currently on VZW's stupid locked bootloader.
I apologize in advance if this has already been answered. I know how you guys hate repeating yourselves.

You shouldn't have to. Many enroll in the beta programs with locked bootloaders :good:

From what I can remember with Android Oreo Betas, their timeline was pretty on point.

Nice.. I just compared the 2 and so far they're pretty close. I'm seeing in a few locations that DP2 should be tomorrow. :fingers-crossed:

Nice. I jumped on Oreo when it was DP2 so I'm willing to do the same with P.

And now that I recall, last Google I/O was the release of Oreo DP2 so it's highly likely they'll repeat that.

I did the same exact thing with Oreo. Played around with DP1 but ran DP2 almost constantly until final. I flash different roms constantly, or at least I used to. But anymore vanilla Android is really my cup of tea.
Do not need to unlock

You can flash the OTA firmware in recovery mode. and use adb sideload command to update Android P beta. download OTA firmware in developers.android.com/preview/download-ota.html
BTW, beta is open now
Beta program is open again
Beta is open again but it's still linking to Developer Preview 1 and not the beta. Hopefully they get the new beta links updated today.
I'm using the beta now. Thanks everyone for your responses.
I am downloading the P DP2 now, and it will install. I am stock not rooted or anything.
Is there a way to make this a fresh clean install without having TWRP or root ?
I have a Verizon Pixel 2 XL. Will I be able to go back to Oreo fairly easily if I give the P Beta a try?
Thanks!

when you leave the beta program, you will get ota to roll back to oreo. It will wipe your device.

Hey everyone!
I sideloaded the 8.1 update from Google and I don't see HDCalling available for it. I'm a user on AT&T with an unlocked phone. Can anyone help with this? Was I not suppose to sideload it to get the feature?
Thank you!
see HERE or HERE.

AT&T customers have suppose to have access to HDCalling on 8.1.0 update.

Other news sources listed this as well.

Unfortunately, its just not as simple as getting the update and having it, please read the responses.

Forgot to update on this. I only had to clear cache and restart after the 8.1 update for this to work. However, for those who don't have this option still, this means that AT&T doesn't have your pixel as your main device. Just call and switch it over by giving them you IMEI number, then restart your phone and it will work.
Cheers, and thanks!
Odd things could prevent this from operating. I wasn't getting it but found out it was because I had 'Smart Limits' turned on. They had to remove that, and you also need to make sure you don't have 'basic' voicemail.. Those are 2 things I know for a fact that will keep VoLTE from working. But now that they cleared Smart Limits, I have VoLTE everywhere! Good luck!
Just checked the Google factory image page. No August update noted. However 9.0 looks to be live!! :good:
I just made a thread for the name of android 9 lol
Looks like August patches are included in 9

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
i guess its recommend to do a full wipe when upgrading to 9.0 right?
also, will magisk work on pie?
Anyone on TMobile and DP5 get the OTA?
Just got the DP5>Official OTA on Verizon.
It's here.. eta: AT&T is my carrier (if that matters)
Awesome to hear Official 9 Pie! Let's rock the XDA house!

using Android since 2010 and never did a full wipe for a version upgrade (even with Samsung's phones)
I received the ota but sized at 48mb..? Is that wrong??
So it seems like no one on TMobile and DP5 got the OTA? I ask because TMobile has had a separate variant of the OTA/factory image over the last few.

Don't think you have to wipe. Just updated 1 locked and 1 unlocked with OTA and Image. Edited flash-all with no -w.
Everything is totally perfect.
Noted that 6 apps were removed. None that I ever use.

Why is there 2 release numbers for Q? Which one is the proper one to use for Google Pixel 3Xl.(not verizon)
TIA
According to what I've read .019 is for those who were already on the betas and .020 is for those upgrading from Pie.
Not true, as I was on the last beta and the OTA pulled down .20 for me....
Honestly, they are hiding something here given the fact that there is NO documentation. I just got off chat with Pixel support. After going round and round and the agent claiming that it all depends on a bunch of stuff according to her "resources" she asked the resources one more time and they said that since you are flashing manually they recommended downloading .20 even though it completely contradicts the numbering method of every other Pixel file since the beginning when there was more than one (agnostic was always the first or lowest number and carrier specific after).

Same here. I didn't notice there were two and just downloaded the last one in the list and sideloaded in stock recovery. Kind of glad I didn't notice so I was ignorant of any confusion.

Haven't rooted and installed custom roms since Nexus phones since everything ran good and loved getting security updates on the Pixels. I know this is ending.
Is there any way to get the newest security updates such as installing a custom rom?

You sort of answered your own question. Yes the only way going forward will be with a custom rom and that's only if you don't have a Verizon model.

I just got the notification to update to QPR Beta 3. I want to know your opinion on Android 13 beta 1 and if it's worth it to go in that direction instead.
I'm happy with 13 beta 1 with the QPR3 Beta 3 modem for the moment.

I haven't dropped a call in the usual spots yet. I'll take what I can get. My room is kinda **** for signals but the overall RSRP might be slightly better than before if only barely. A few dBm for near-threshold signals always helps.

Do I have to opt out of android 12 beta QPR and wipe before I get an ota update to 13 beta? Because I've opted out of 12 beta and opted into 13 beta but I'm still only seeing an update to QPR beta 3
nvm i just got the 13 beta notification

The modem is only one file from the factory image file that was mentioned. If you download the aforementioned factory image (QPR3B3), you'll notice that it's a zip file. If you look inside of that zip file you'll see the modem file with the word "radio" in its name. IIRC, it's "radio___bunch of numbers here___.img".
Essentially, you would copy that radio.img file out of the factory image zip and place/paste it into your platform-tools folder. Then, enable USB debugging in your phone's "Developer options" settings, open CMD with admin rights on your PC, navigate to the platform-tools folder, put your phone into recovery/fastboot mode and then flash the radio.img file using fastboot.
I can't get into more details at the moment as I'm currently at work . But if you need more help here, feel free to let me know =).
To flash the modem you have chosen (qpr beta 3 modem) use the following command, without the quotes.
"fastboot flash radio radio-raven-g5123b-100840-220427-b-8504179.img"
Is it possible to flash the modem with locked bootloader?

No, not by itself. You'd have to be in the beta and I don't recommend that with a locked bootloader.
Hopefully you guys are reporting this to and android team with the feedback apk
For me A13B1 is a good step ahead of QPR 12.1. Better battery, no overheating. Minor lags and stutters are there, but overall its great!
Having the USB C wired sound working with my headphones is an important feature for me, as well as the LDAC 990 codec. They are both working with the QPR Beta 3.
It seems that I read somewhere that those features weren't working with the 13 Beta.
