General May 16, 2023 QPR3 Beta 3.2 T3B3.230413.009 - Global / T3B3.230413.009.A1 Verizon - Pixel 6 Pro [Raven] - [thread also for future Android QPR Betas]

[shadyrexman]

@shadyrexman I haven't read everything, but is it possible that you're fastboot booting the Magisk'd Pixel 7 Pro boot.img, but that you're direct installing to the stock Pixel 6 Pro boot.img that's on your phone after you updated?

Recommendations: Either...

• Don't fastboot boot the Magisk'd Pixel 7 Pro boot.img. Instead do:

  • fastboot flash boot Magik'dPixel7ProBoot.img

or

• Flash the stock unroot Pixel 7 Pro boot.img to your Pixel 6 Pro, and then boot the Magisk'd Pixel 7 Pro boot.img and direct install, but if you're going to do it this way, you might as well do the first way and just flash the Magisk'd Pixel 7 Pro boot.img.

You made my day, I just rooted my p6p, I used to follow the OTA instructions and use fastboot boot, instead of fastboot flash boot. And now I'm ok thank you again for everyone's helping!

You're welcome! I'm glad you found your solution, and thanks for letting us know.

Aignes Website-Watcher is telling me this (bolded) part at the end is new in the "Which devices are eligible?" FAQ at:

Android Beta Program

Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.

www.google.com

Devices must be on a non-Developer Preview public stable build to enroll in the beta program.

About Android 13 QPR3​

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 QPR3 builds on the updates in Android 13 QPR2 and the initial Android 13 release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.

How to get QPR3 Beta 2.1​

You can install Android 13 QPR3 Beta 2.1 on any of the following Google Pixel devices:

• Pixel 4a and 4a (5G)
• Pixel 5 and 5a

• 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.

• 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 QPR3. The channel you should use to get support depends on where you are encountering your issue.

  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.

I lost root and cant patch P7P bootloader with Magisk. Any idea what to do?

edit: Tried Pixel Flasher again but with canary version of Magisk. have root now!

First of all, you don't patch the bootloader, you patch the boot image.

Second, use Canary Magisk 26001 or Beta Magisk 26.0 to patch the Pixel 6 Pro boot image. Patching the Pixel 7 Pro boot image is no longer needed with these new Magisk versions.

Yeah, not sure why I didn't type out boot image. ( I am very tired.) Figured it out before I seen your reply.

Guys, need help!!! I'm on beta 2 and tried to flash factory image of 2.1 and got this error:

Checking 'product' OKAY [ 0.002s]
Checking 'version-bootloader' OKAY [ 0.001s]
Checking 'version-baseband' FAILED

Device version-baseband is 'g5123b-116199-230317-B-9765545'.
Update requires 'g5123b-116954-230330-B-9849771'.

fastboot: error: requirements not met!
Press any key to exit...

Any ideas?!?! I'm flashing all the time the factory images on the beta with no problems from the baseband...
Going to flash the ota on the recovery ...

Are you using Platform-Tools v33.0.3, or one of the bad 34.x versions? You've got the correct Beta 2.1 firmware downloaded, not for the wrong device, by mistake? It says "Raven"?

Maybe try dirty flashing Beta 2.0 and then 2.1 after. You can find the 2.0 downloads in the second post in the Old News section.

Another idea I have is that you downloaded the OTA instead of the factory image. The factory image shouldn't care what version of anything is on your phone - it'll just overwrite everything.

I'm using 34.0.1-9680074. I didn't download for the wrong device. After that I flashed the ota file with success.

 

[roirraW "edor" ehT]

I'm using 34.0.1-9680074. I didn't download for the wrong device. After that I flashed the ota file with success.

Ah, that's the issue. Platform-Tools 34.0.0 and 34.0.1 have a serious bug that prevents successfully flashing the firmware image. Google knows about it but has not fixed it yet, and they still offer 34.0.1 as the latest Platform-Tools despite the bug. You have to use 33.0.3 with the whole image. I'm glad to hear that they worked fine with the OTA, and therefore solved the issue.

Anyone that updated their platform tools and needs to downgrade can use these links.

For Pete's sake googie, get your act together.

From my Pixel 7 QPR Beta thread (and adjusting the OP with the same information):
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:

Spoiler: Details:

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:

Release notes | Android Developers

Release notes and known issues for the latest Android 13 builds.

developer.android.com

which has a link:

and leads to:

Get Android 13 QPR beta builds | Android Developers

Get Android 13 QPR beta builds on an eligible device.

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 Android device for beta releases.

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.

First, thank you for always letting us know about the newest updates!

You're welcome!

Secondly, can you please delete the spam?

The quickest way to get the first available moderator to act on SPAM (or anything else) is to use the Report button in the lower-right corner of the post, but as you can see, another moderator has already deleted that SPAM. Actually, according to the forum whether it's correct or not, another moderator deleted it three minutes before you posted this. You might've been in the process of making the post while they were deleting the SPAM.

Thank you, anyway!

 

[BROKEN1981]

Has the last update been buggy for anyone? I get random app crashes, phone froze about 4 times. This is after I had reflashed in Pixel Flasher erasing user data.

It was worse than that before. Android Auto would disconnect. Couldn't type in the Google search for an app. Google Files was missing a few things. Couldn't upload files to Google Drive.

Only running 2 mods. One mod is to get the recording fiction in Google dialer app. The other is to hide NavBar. So nothing major.
