You'd have to factory reset to downgrade, so just flash the entire stock QPR1 Beta 1 factory image. You can flash back to any Android 13 version - Stable or Beta. You just can't flash back to Android 12, with the exception of the Google-provided Developer images, which aren't a long-term solution.
thank you. I just was thinking the Android 13 bl rule applied when downgrading
You're welcome! Nope, applies only to downgrading to a pre-Android 13 bootloader.
Hi guys! I got OTA update to T1B2.220916.004 today. I didn't pay attention before but now I see that in static scenes on my display it's still 120hz refresh rate. Force peak refresh rate of course switched off. It's fixable?
Updt: So, after deep sleep about half hour it's working well.. dynamically changes refresh rate from 60 to 120 depending on what is happening on the screen.

Unfortunately this update has broken a lot of things for me. I'm getting random disconnects - not just in call, sometimes I'll look at my phone and it'll show that I have signal but that I'm not connected. WiFi drops. Bluetooth doesn't connect properly and disconnects a lot, especially to my car radio. I can't get a GPS lock and my phone doesn't know where I am. The phone feels slower and the battery is weaker. I also ran out of data with my cell provider plan this month and that NEVER happens for me, so I suspect something is happening and some background data connection. Android auto is struggling to work and has frozen twice during the map directions. Really disappointed.
I'll give it until Monday to see if a hotfix comes out and then I'll do a wipe. I've found wipes help.

Is battery health tab available on pixel 5 with the latest beta? i seem to not find it under "battery" tab
Canary Magisk 25204 working fine on QPR1 Beta 2.
EDIT: Breaks Denylist and USNF. It does work for root though.

Since you haven't gotten an answer, you should probably ask in the Pixel 5 area - I don't know if there's a QPR Beta thread there or if you'll have to create your own Question thread.
It should be available on the 5 but there's are a couple of things you have to do first. See the first few posts in this Twitter thread.
Sorry i didnt realize this is a P6P thread, unfortunately since i cant find a thread related in pixel 5 i will have to wait and see. One thing i want to ask is what's the version of "settings services" in this build? (my pixel 5 is 1.1.0.476812811 not sure if it has any dfference)
No sweat! Did you see @Lughnasadh's comment above?
I'm not on this build, so I can't answer that. Maybe someone else can.
I tried following the guide on twitter, first downgrading then install the "setttings services" again, but it still doesnt show up. Maybe it's kust not on the 5 or some other reasons
Anyways imma do some more research first cuz i dont want to make this thread go off-topic. Thanks
I try to flash the full File without without wipe but not I got the Message:
Cannot load adroid System. Your data may be corrupt.
Try again or Factory data Reset.
How to fix it without the wipe?

See if the Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own) supports flashing the QPR1 Beta 2 and make sure the following options are unchecked:
- Wipe
- Force Flash all partitions
- Re-lock Bootloader
Back on topic, how is the latest QPR1 Beta 2 running for most on their P6P? I'm on the latest stable and wondering if it's worth it to enroll in the beta. Any bugs?
Running fantastic for me. Haven't encountered any problems.
I've just received a notification for a new A13 QPR beta OTA update:
T1B3.221003.003 weighing in at 130mb. I'm in the USA on T-Mobile network using a P6P.
I'll report back. In the end I didn't do a wipe reset after I complained here a couple weeks ago about poor stability. Things just got better. My main problem is that Android Auto stopped working properly and sometimes GPS can't get a lock, but it's been getting a little better.

11Pixel 6 Pro [Raven] QPR Betas
QPR stands for "Quarterly Platform Release". Android 13 QPR3 went final in June 2023. See main thread here for final/non-beta releases.
From my Pixel 7 QPR Beta thread (and adjusting the OP with the same information):
You canofficially opt into the Android Beta Program there, oruse the factory image or OTA below. You can no longer manually opt into the QPR3 Beta program - only the Android 14 Beta is offered to opt into:
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that no one can opt into the QPR3 Beta program any longer.
Even Google's QPR3 Beta release page:
which has a link:
and leads to:
the Enroll in Android 13 Beta for Pixel button there still leads to:Get Android 13 | Android Developers
Get an Android 13 on your eligible device.
developer.android.com
which only mentions Android 14 Beta.
So I think your only choice if you want to try QPR3 Beta is to have an unlocked bootloader and flash the factory image, or I think it's possible to sideload the OTA without unlocking the bootloader - but it's highly discouraged to try a Beta with a locked bootloader, as you'll be locked into the Beta program (via manual OTA sideloads) until it goes final, and you'll have no choice but to deal with the issues.
I don't plan on testing Betas of any sort, but feel free to use this thread for everything about the QPR Betas or major Android version betas for the Pixel 6 Pro. I'll update the information in the OP when necessary. See Post #1 in my main thread for general information (Unlocking Bootloader / Rooting / Updating | SafetyNet working again | ADB/Fastboot & Windows USB Drivers) but ask questions or make observations about all betas in this thread, please.
Once a QPR or major Android version goes final, I'll take those discussions to my main thread.10Yet another Beta of 13, Beta 3.3:
Google rolls out Android 13 Beta 3.3 with a bunch of bug fixes
Google is rolling out Android 13 Beta 3.3 to...www.xda-developers.com
8All, this is not a thread for opinions about the Pixel 6/Pro in general, nor is it a thread made for rants. Opinions specifically about Android 13 are fine. I know there have been a few posts that have nothing specific to do with Android 13 and I've let it go. If anyone wants to make posts that don't address anything specifically about Android 13, there are many, many threads in this section where that has taken place.
I know, because I used to read every post in this section but now I avoid the threads that contain those kinds of posts, and I'd like to not see them here in this thread. Any further posts of those types will be deleted as off-topic.6
Good spot. Seeing as how that's now intended behaviour, I guess wiping and disabling verification is all our best moves from here.I think Magisk removed the need to pass the vbmeta disable verity/verification flag with Canary 24303. Here's a quote related to a kernel issue from yujincheng08 (LoveSy):
"Let me clarify the things.
Magisk was used to modify the fstab to inject Magisk components, and in the meantime, Magisk stipped avb_key and avb flags for all partitions. So, that 24300 works is just a side effect and has no insurance.
Now Magisk changed its way of injecting Magisk components, and it will no longer modify the fstab, and the side effect was thus gone together with the refactorization. Some configurations that rely on the fact that Magisk will strip those verification flags will no longer work, and that's expected. Users should disable the verification themselves since they are expected to have unlocked bootloaders."
This all relates to problems with custom kernels and Magisk, but may have further implications for us. Check out more in the issue here..
Some customized kernels are incompatible with Magisk 24303+ that no longer strips verification flags of early mount partitions · Issue #5777 · topjohnwu/Magisk

I'll take this moment to suggest investing in Swift Backup and setting up an automatic backup that runs periodically, so long as you have root it makes wiping pretty much a non-issue.
