I saw yesterday on various tech boards that the G Stylus (Pro) has started receiving the official Android 11/R updates, with the first ones appearing on January 30th or so. Saw many screenshots of the update screens and read a few user reports/reviews.
It appeared that many of the reports are coming out of the UK and Europe. Has anyone here received the update or notification yet? I'm running RR 8.6.4, so I won't get the notification. However, if its being pushed out already --- I might revert to the 10 stock rom and give it a go.
Also, I'm guessing the factory unlocked and unbranded phones are more likely to get the push than the retail branded variants, correct? If you have received the 11 build, what variant/carrier do you have?
I'm running the factory unlocked variant, with verizon as my carrier (doesn't matter lol. just throwing it out there).
I recently got an update. Finally installing it. QPR30.80-58-8-3-2-4. It's not android 11, just an update. Why update if there is a whole new version of software. Seems like a waste of time. Which makes me think 11 isn't coming anytime soon.
I made a .bat to flash the g pro 11 update on my metro stylus. Running pretty smooth. Stylus options are updated as well. I dont know about the service since I dont have metro anymore and its locked to them. If anyone has an unlocked bootloader and wants it let me know.
No Android 11 update here yet, US Unlocked. Hoping they unlock the wide angle lens for photos, among other things.
I downloaded the UK Android 11 update. I used a batch file to flash the update via fastboot without wiping data. I have an unlocked bootloader and I am on Verizon. Everything seems to be working, text, phone calls, LTE.
Thanks for the heads up. Hope to get the OTA sooner rather than later.
Hello.
I have G Pro (XT2043-7) which is the retail European (reteu) version.
There was never December update here (Serbia), but today I got notified that Android 11 and January security patch are up.
Android 11 should really be called 10.1... Anyway...
Negative
1) I noticed new Peek Display – now it's the same as on G9 models which personally I don't like (a bit of ugly).
I want Moto signature circle back :/.
2) In Developer options, they removed Theming (it was the last setting). Just why? Motorola's Android 10 phones got
Theming in Moto app, and yet it was never an option for G Pro unless you enable Dev. mode and it worked.
Now is removed or I can't find it anywhere.
EDIT
In Display, they added Styles so there you go. Why is not that a part of Moto app? Who knows...
Positive
1) Phone is smoother and launcher lag with folders is mostly fixed.
2) Gesture navigation finally works with any launcher. I personally use Shade Launcher.

i have an unlocked bootloader stylus with metro and would give it a shot, still has service also... (edit) never mind made my own with the RETGB firmware from lolinet. had no issues as of yet.
I'm in the US and I just got the android 11 update last night.
I don't like it On the recents screen, they replaced the bottom row of homescreen with a screenshot button. I barely ever take screenshots, but I used that row of apps constantly.
I was excited for conversation bubbles, but the two apps I heavily use for texting/messaging; discord and Google voice, don't support bubbles (yet...hopefully).
Im thinking about installing a custom rom. The only reason I didn't yet was to get this update OTA.
Just installed it in an unlocked version and now get a VZW popup when trying to turn on hotspot
I just tested my Hotspot. It's still working with no pop-up. Of course, I'm using US Mobile, not Verizon.
I've been running 11 on a retail US model for a day or so & the stock launcher is super laggy.
I got 11 just yesterday.
Just received Android 11 OTA RPR31.Q1-56-9. Was also able to download stock ROM from LMSA:
SOFIAP_RETAIL_RPR31.Q1_56_9_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC_R4_CFC.xml
Now I'll have the corresponding boot.img and good to go with unrooting and installation of OTA
Anyone find a version of TWRP that works with it (XT2043-4)?
I have received the update. After I have tried installing ROMs with no success. I may have to update the device tree and give it a go at making updated roms
I upgraded my tablet to BUC1 a few days ago via Odin. Recently I was thinking about downgrading to ATK3 to see if GSIs behave better with Android Q vendors, only to find out that it's not possible anymore.
Starting from BUC1 build, the SW REV value has been incremented to 2 from 1 which effectively blocked the possibility of downgrading to anything earlier. The previous build BUBB is the last one to have a SW REV value of 1.
As a result, if you're on BUA8 or BUBB and are still considering about going back to Android 10, do not upgrade any further. Once you upgrade past BUC1, there's no way back.
Hi, just got a new S7+ Tab. How can I tell if I am BUA8 or BUBB?

The about section should tell you which build you're on.

Not sure why you would want to go back.

GSI does not work well with Android 11 vendor, namely Magisk.
As a result, you need to flash Android 10 vendor which is no longer straightforward past BUC1/BUC6 due to SW REV increment.
On the other hand, some apps and stuffs don't work as well as with Android 10 that some might prefer staying at 10.

I see. Personally, I haven't seen any issues with Magisk or any other apps. But I am on rooted and debloated stock BUF5. I know from experience that custom roms can be a quite different experience. However, I haven't seen anything offered for this tablet that appeals to me and my current setup works great all around. On the other hand, my Moto G7 plus is vastly improved on a custom ROM. Better battery life and performance. UI is much better as well.
Hi ,
Need advice on the best way to upgrade Android version on my new (really new) Pixel 3 XL- still waiting for it.
In the lights of latest news on "EDL Bug" bricking lots of Pixel 3 phones( just search the Internet for last few days ),
I started to doubt if purchasing it was a good idea. So either I return it right away (EBay purchase- 14 days return )
or try to risk it and install Android 10 only and then wait for stable Android 12.... from all of the research it looks like
security update for Android 11 can be the culprit here? Is it possible to jump /omit upgrading to certain versions like jumping
from ver 9 to ver 10 and later straight to ver 12, or does it have to be done in sequence ?
Sorry for a noob question ,,, but until now i was using only IPhone , and now decided to try Pixel devices.
If upgrade HAS to be done in sequence, then risk of Bricking it is too high and I rather return the device , loosing on
shipping only.
Thank you very much,
Lino
Anybody ?....
Please , I will need to make a decision as soon as I receive the new phone!
I am sure that there is a lots of people here, for whom this question is very trivial...
Can I upgrade from Android Pie straight to Android 12, OTA... or should I go in steps..
Thanks. Lino
you can flash the full factory image of android 12 beta, or android 11, whichever you prefer, and google made it easy using the online android flash tool. when using this, you don't need to go in steps whatsoever.

Im running the Scorpian Rom right now. Really do not know whats causing the bricks but im gonna stick to custom roms from here on out.
I'd go with Android 12. Either Beta 4.1, or wait a week or so for the public release. The EDL thing I read is only happening on Android 11, so I think you'll be safe updating to 12.
Ok , thank you all
I think when I receive the phone, I will update OTA to version 10 first , then I wait for official stable version 12
and Sideload it ? Yes? ....Sorry i am totally new to this...
So I have to unlock the bootloader first, do i have to root it ?... like using Majisk ? in order to sideload the stable
version 12 ?
Anybody has a links to good step by step tutorial ? Will appreciate it !
Anyway watching lately lots of you tube videos about unlocking etc,
Will appreciate any general pointers how to go about it, egz. what to do first , second etc.
Thank you, Lino
Hi,
I built and deployed the latest aosp 11 on this device. The phone is on the t-mobile network in USA.
All went ok but if I put the sim in the first slot, everything works except that the mic works ONLY if I am on speakers, cannot talk normally. Note that if I plug a headset, all works normally, but who can always use a headset?
If I put the sim in the second slot, most works including the mic, but sometimes I do not get messages. This is an issue specially when I need to get some token.
Anybody saw something like this?
Note that if I flush the stock Sony rom, there are no issues.
Thanks,
M.
Just an update, a few days back I rebuild aosp 11 and did a clean flash, exactly the same behavior.
If anyone do see this behavior and have a solution, please post it here.
Best, M
If anyone updated the OS to aosp 12 (or 13) please post your results here. I still have the issue shown in this thread.
Note that all seems ok with the stock android, it is only with the aosp 11 (the one I tried).
Me again and more on the saga of installing aosp on xperia 10 III. Since now I got a new daily driver (pixel 7 on which I installed grapheneos), I was able to test a bit more on 10 |||. I tried installing aosp 12. It worked and it booted, it looked ok. However after a reboot, it no longer sees the slots and the sim cards. I tried booting a few times, the same thing.
What is sad is that this exact behavior was on aosp 11 long time ago but was eventually fixed.
I am really disappointed by the very low quality of the sony aosp. They claim that they support it but when you install the aosp provided by them, it really does not work for the most basic things...
The hope to use this great device is when someone like Lineageos will release a version of their os for 10 3...
Q: what test is really done by Sony when releasing the aosp for a device, when something that simple does not work reliably?
Thanks,
M.
Just to complete my tests, I did install aosp 13 on the device. The installation worked but as with aosp 12, it did not detect any slots or sims. Reinstalled 11 and it does work but with the issues in this thread and another one from me.
I hope that someone from Sony will fix the issues otherwise why even say that they support aosp?
Thanks,
M.
Hi, so I recently got a pre-owned OnePlus 7T (Android version 12) and looking to root it. Not looking to do anythig mega fancy with it, basically spoof pokemon go.
I have never had a samsung before so I know none of the lingo (roms, roots, apks, flash etc). I've tried watching videos but a lot of people specifically mention 7T Pro or don't specifically mention Android version 12, which I'm guessing if it's like iOS then the version is important.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to root the phone to do what I want to do with it. I've got as far as developer mode with it. I have a windows PC handy if that helps too?
Thanks
Is it so hard to search?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-android-11-how-to-root-oneplus-7t.4253183/
Extract boot from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-7t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3997037/
This is XDA.
So members are expected to be proactive.
Hi, thanks for the response!
The first link says android 11, not 12, so like I had mentioned, I have no idea how it works with androids and whether the two are interchangeable.
The second link doesn't mention any android version and I can't see a mention of android 12 in the comments, thus I wouldn't have followed through with the guide as I can't clearly see it will work for OnePlus 7T Android 12.
So, having searched the site which I'm not used to, and having asked in discords and only being told to go ask here, I did what I was told and went and asked here. I apologise for how repetitive the question may be, but I'm just hoping some kind soul will have a little pitty and put me on the right path.
1.Guide is the same for Android 12
2.
E.g.
HD1903_11_F.17 (delivered to OOS 11 users): HD1903_11.F.17_3170_202210120443
MD5: c0efb9eacc32eac171fccd6cd306ecaa
is Android 12 for Europe
So all the last entries are A12.
Or download with Oxygen Updater App
Use this for extraction of the boot.img

Hi again,
I've taken what you said and reflashed the phone and upgraded to OOS 11.0.9.1 (latest available).
The links you sent are super useful now I know they work for any version, though following it broke my phone last night (my fault), likely during the patched_boot.img stage as the lingo started confusing me.
Does the below youtube offer an alternative method to root the phone? I've found the software build for 11.0.9.1 and hoping if that guide works then I'll follow that and ideally not need to bother you more
It's not an alternative, it's the same only as a video
However, better use the payload-gui.exe for extracting the payload bin.
Much easier.
Good luck
