Android 11 Official For Pixel 2 XL??? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I have 2 Pixel 2 XL devices.
The first one I bought early lasy year, it was updated to Android, 10 & several months back to 11.
Last week I bought a second Pixel 2 XL, however it came with Android 8 and it won't update to Android 11 saying that the device is no longer supported.
How is it that one updated to 11 yet the other is stuck on 8???
Both are the same model.
Any easy & quick way to manually force the Android 11 official update on my other Pixel 2 XL??
Otherwise how do I update it to official 11??
Thanks in advance.

With Pixel 3A XL now not getting updates what's next ?

Now that my pixel 3A XL is no longer getting updates from Google
An Android 13 on the horizon I'm considering unlocking the bootloader
Now I've done this before on my Nexus phones but not my Pixel it's bootloader is locked.
So here are my questions
Does anyone have a video to the process of unlocking the pixel 3A XL
What ROM are most people using with the 3A XL
is there still a Toolbox for Doing Roms and unlocking like was with Nexus phones.
And when do you think we'll likely see a port of Android 13 done by a member of the community
Thank you in advance for your answers
Few weeks ago for the first time following this instruction https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bonito/install installed lineage os 18.1, but instead of full adb and fastboot im download this: minimal adb and fastboot
3a is popular so sooner or later they will come unofficial Android 13
You will be waiting a while, los 19 aka android 12 just dropped this week.
Others custom's like Pixel Experience or AICP have faster development, but new version of android is not always good thing, more important are secuirty updates and bug fixes
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I have been looking and looking and as far a a custom rom thats even still being updated it looks like you got los 19 and aicp. Thats all I could find. Every other rom in the thread here and listed in google searches is based on android 10 and not been updated in close to a year.
I hope someone will chime in and correct me and say no theres this other rom as well but so far I have only found the 2 I listed and the new los 19 is currently pretty featureless.

Yes, you can root on A13. There are several guides in the forum with instructions. Just click on the "How to Guides" tab in the Quick Filters at the top of the main Pixel 6 Pro forum page.

No one can predict if you will have any problems, but to ensure you don't, after you unlock the bootloader then next do this:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader --slot all bootloader.img
Substitute the name of your bootloader file (NOT boot.img) instead of "bootloader.img". Get the bootloader.img from inside the inner zip file that's in the latest Android 13 Stable (full) Factory Image from:
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
Once you do that you'll be as safe as we should be. You only have to do that once, not every time you update your phone. You can do it every time if you choose to, but there's no reason to.
Latest SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver required.
Thanks! I'll try...
I also bought a phone from Japan while I live in Indo. Google lock indo 5G. I mean can we unlock that bro?

There is no difference in rooting A12 and A13. Just make sure you have, at the minimum, the A13 bootloader flashed to both slots. Information is in the guides on how to do that if you don't know.

All the how to original posts are updated frequently and give the best options for root. However, you seem nervous to follow them, part of the responsibility of having a rooted phone is being able to follow what are straight forward (if assuming of non novice status of the reader) steps.
An additional new topic would be redundant
I would recommend to anyone who wants a pain free experience rooting android 13 to use flashtool and download the factory image. Fastboot boot the patched boot image, direct install.

When you go to Android Settings / About / Android version, what's the Build number at the bottom?
Check it against those at the follwing two pages:
Beta Factory images for Google Pixel | Android Developers
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services
If you didn't manually opt into the Android Beta Program, or flash a Beta Factory Image or OTA from the first link above, then you should find your build # at the second link above.
