Hi all,
This and AOP will be the last batch of Android 11 leak for HMD Nokia Smartphones - so far.

Known issue:
(PNX-6070-0-00WW-B02) Camera OIS and Live bokeh don't work
(PNX-6080-0-00WW-B01) Live bokeh fixed, camera OIS still not fixed

Internal build version: PNX-6090-0-00WW-B01
It will be updated from: PNX-430Q-0-00WW-B01, which is March 2021 Security Update.
To install the internal build, you need to ensure you have PNX-430Q-0-00WW-B01 (00WW_4_30B_SP12) or older build installed.
To confirm it, you can execute this under USB debugging:

adb shell
cat /proc/fver|grep -a MLF

Or under Fastboot mode:

fastboot oem getversions

If it returns PNX-430Q-0-00WW-B01, you can proceed.
If it returns anything older than PNX-430Q-0-00WW-B01, install update before you proceed.

If it returns PNX-431x-0-00WW-B01, unfortunately you cannot follow this guide.
If it returns PNX-302x-0-00WW-B01 or PNX-5xxx-0-00WW-B01, your phone is from Russia and cannot follow this guide yet.
If it returns PNX-1xxx-0-00CN-B0x or PNX-2xxx-0-00CN-B0x, your phone is Nokia X7 from China, need to request Global conversion service you find online.

How to rollback to Android 10 if I have unlocked bootloader?
NOTE: This will erase all of your userdata!

1. It's recommended to perform proper factory reset before you rollback, so you can get past Google Factory Reset Protection properly to save time.

2. Flash PNX-415B boot image:

fastboot flash boot PNX-0-415B-00WW-boot.img

(This boot image can be extracted from 415B full OTA image with payload dumper: https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../723fa1d6e0b94c8d4c57ceeae42089fecdea9974.zip )

3. Power off the phone with this command, then disconnect the phone:

fastboot oem HALT

4. Connect the phone to charger, when you see charging animation, press both volume up and power key to boot to Recovery mode. At "No command" screen with android robot lying, release two keys and press both power and volume up key to get the menu.

5. Sideload this ZIP:

https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/nokia_pnxsprout_phoenix00ww/1bf1c811af5bbbb029aad7330fd05ca42d250964.zip

6. Wipe data / factory reset here again.

7. Reboot and rollback done.

For new comers, please sideload this instead: https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/internal_build/PNX/PNX-6080-0-00WW-B01-430M-0-00WW-B01.html

Since we don't know if 6080 B01 will be discarded like PNX-6070-0-00WW-B01, we cannot make guarantee, please proceed with your own risk.

If I upgrade to this A11 internal built, would I be able to get stable A11 when released by HMD Later?

 

[luiszevs]

And what about the camera: again full or level 3?

I cannot make any guarantee.
The only thing I can guarantee is, you may install full OTA of stable release manually when available - it may not be pushed automatically via system update.

Software version=PNX-431E-0-00WW-B01, So this version is essentially not updatable to A11 internal build uploaded by you. A noob question.

Because PNX-431x builds are targeted to Indian market, and there's no incremental updates from 431x builds.

hikari_calyx,
What about my question about the camera, haven't you checked?

I don't have this device myself now. The video is recorded by a Chinese member in my technical support group.

A11 Internal bulid 6090 :---
Everything fine Working perfectly No lag No hang No bugs Just few Android 11 important features still missing otherwise in term of performance it's ok i am still using it & my personal experience is it's good for daily usage if anyone wants to install it

 

[Markw50]

Is there no way to obtain a full (not incremental) build as I am 00WW_4_31A_SP02 and cannot install the build you have posted?

I installed the Indian build on my UK TA-1128 and cannot rollback as HMD don't allow the bootloader to be unlocked anymore (OEM bootloader unlock is greyed out) unless you know a way of doing it?

If you want to install global Version in your device so you need to unlock bootloader from hikari_calyx
