If the backup is missing, you want be able to do it via OTA
Although PF can help you create and add the missing backup, if you're going that route, you might as well update it via PF, or follow the guide and user the flash_all script

ive read and tried what the best way to install

QPR3 Beta 2.1 T3B2.230316.005​

I'm not sure what you mean by "best".
What you would call best might depend on what you want. It might also depend on whether you can unlock your bootloader, since you can opt into the Beta without unlocking your bootloader, although I highly discourage doing so because you won't be able to downgrade to Stable if QPR 3 Beta 2.1 doesn't work as well as you hope, since it is Beta, after all.

There are advantages and disadvantages for all the options.

I get the same thing. Except mine had the pattern and fingerprint showing at the same time. I'm able to get out of it when I lock my screen and use my fingerprint to unlock.

Pulling down the notification bar is evil now.

My fingerprint also fritzs out when locked. Like visually. See the video I attached. I sent a feedback report with the beta feedback tool.

I tried to install the updated modem on the March release. I ended up with my cell signal showing "!" Then I tried putting back the March modem and the "!" stuck around. Then I tried flash-nowipe and the "!" was still there. Final I had to reset all of my network settings and the "!" went away.

UPDATE - after resetting the network settings, I installed the new modem file again and no more "!"

    Pixel 7 Pro [Cheetah] 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.

    You can officially opt into the Android Beta Program there, or use 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'm only being allowed to Opt into the Android 14 beta program. I want to enroll in the Android 13 QPR Beta program instead. Any idea how?

    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:

    Android 13 | Android Developers

    <!-- hide description -->
    developer.android.com developer.android.com
    which has a link:

    and leads to:

    Get Android 13 | Android Developers

    Get an Android 13 on your eligible device.
    developer.android.com developer.android.com
    the Enroll in Android 13 Beta for Pixel button there still leads to:

    Android Beta Program

    Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your...
    www.google.com www.google.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 7 Pro. I'll update the information in the OP when necessary. See Post #2 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.

    The Beta also introduces support for some new carriers, some of which are the first ones for some countries (Portugal, Lithuania, Finland, Estonia), this means 5G working out of the box aswell as proper LTE Aggregation combinations (VoLTE depends on another configuration so that could take some time):

    About Android 13 QPR2​

    Following the stable release of Android 13 to AOSP, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops.
    Although these updates don't include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed.
    Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use. However, please review any known issues that are listed on this page.
    Android 13 QPR2 builds on the updates in Android 13 QPR1 and the Android 13 initial release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.

    How to get QPR2 Beta 3​

    You can install Android 13 QPR2 Beta 3 on any of the following Google Pixel devices:
    • Pixel 4a and 4a (5G)
    • Pixel 5 and 5a
    • Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
    • Pixel 6a
    • Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
    See Get Android 13 QPR beta builds for details on how to get started.

    General advisories​

    Be aware of these general advisories about the release:
    • This release might have various stability, battery, or performance issues.
    • For users with accessibility needs, this release might not be appropriate for daily use.
    • Some apps might not function as expected when running on this release. This limitation includes Google's apps as well as other apps.
    • Android 13 QPR beta builds aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)‑approved, but they have passed preliminary testing and provide a stable set of pre-release APIs for developers. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds or use SafetyNet APIs might not work normally on Android 13 QPR beta builds.

    Get support​

    Two primary support channels are available to you when developing and testing with Android 13 QPR2. The channel you should use to get support depends on where you are encountering your issue.
    • Support for device-specific issues, system issues, and issues with Google apps: Use the Issue Tracker to create new issues and to view and track issues that you and other developers have submitted.
      Before creating your own issue, check the known issues listed on this page and search the lists of top open issues and recently created issues to see if someone else has already reported it. You can subscribe and vote for an issue by clicking star this issue .
      See Where to report issues to find an issue template that best matches the type of issue that you are encountering.
    • Support for issues with other apps: Contact the app developer directly.
    To discuss issues or ideas with other developers working with the Android 13 QPR Beta, join the android_beta community on Reddit.
