Yea something's severely messed up on your device lol.

When did these issues start and what FW are you using? Best to use the latest FW. At the time of writing it's v13.0.9 EU, you can also use v13.0.6 Global.
As I mentioned, the issues started back in November 14 when I updated to the latest build. I can't tell you about my firmware version as I don't know of any way to check it.

EDIT:Got the latest firmware, the data issue persists

Is there somewhere a tutorial to just upgrade the firmware? Not sure which version I have but Bluetooth audio does not work, device makes a reboot when auto rotation is on and much more bugs. My OS is on the newest 12.1 build. But I don't know where to check firmware version

You can upgrade/downgrade the firmware at any point in time, since it's separate from the ROM. No Data-Format needed. When downgrading, don't go below v13 firmware, unless you use an Android 11 ROM.

You can get the firmware from here:

The packages are ~150 MB and can be flashed in a Custom Recovery like TWRP or OrangeFox...

I advice going for the latest FW (for your Android-version) or if your ROM Maintainer specifies a FW version, use that.

Didn't know that I can simply use a different recovery tool and after the first answer to my question I thought I have to reinstall everything and wanted to go back to pixel devices. Thanks for the hint. I think the installation was successful. At least Bluetooth is now working again. With automatic device rotation the device still crashes and reboot, but I think I will wait for the version 13 and hope, that it will be fixed there.

No sabía que simplemente podía usar una herramienta de recuperación diferente y, después de la primera respuesta a mi pregunta, pensé que tenía que reinstalar todo y quería volver a los dispositivos de píxeles. Gracias por la pista. Creo que la instalación fue exitosa. Al menos Bluetooth ya está funcionando de nuevo. Con la rotación automática del dispositivo, el dispositivo aún falla y se reinicia, pero creo que esperaré a la versión 13 y espero que se solucione allí.
Ya tienes disponible la versión arrow 13, no es oficial pero funciona muy bien y puedes hacer un flasheo sucio.

I prefer to wait for an official build. Otherwise, I'm afraid that some day I have to reinstall everything and lose all my data 😕

Arrow v13 is available altho unofficial.
And I've never heard of anyone having problems with auto-rotate. Updates won't fix it, because it's most likely on your end.

Hi Everyone

I'm on an old build (August 2022) and with ArrowOS Recovery. I want to update to the latest 12.1 build, (I'll update to 13 next year sometime).

The problem is that I need to upgrade to latest firmware First. Looks like TWRP 3.70 has number of issues of trying to decrypt partitions (mines are always encrypted)

I fast booted into TWRP 3.70 and it could see the partition properly (or mount), so I didn't proceed with fully installing it

I don't want to use propitiatory TWRP SKKK. Do I have any other options ?

    3. https://arrowos.net/download/alioth

    Reboot in fastboot. Flash arrowos recovery (boot.img and vendor_boot.img):

    fastboot flash boot_ab boot_alioth.img fastboot flash vendor_boot_ab vendor_boot_alioth.img

    Reboot in ArrowOS Recovery:

    fastboot reboot recovery

    Make format data (Factory reset -> Format data).

    Flash ROM (Apply update -> Apply from ADB):


    adb sideload name.zip

    Follow what show on device, should be ... Step 1/2 -> 2/2, then flashing ended, can reboot device in system. (In cmdline: If the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report `adb: failed to read command: Success`. In some cases it will report `adb: failed to read command: No error` which is also fine!")

    If you want install separate gapps on vanilla buildtype, after flash ROM:

    Installation can take up to 1 hour, on 50% will stuck, it normal, just waiting (Why? - Don't forget, you now have a/b devices, a new update is installed in the background in an inactive slot, without recovery. That's why it's taking so long. Don't like? Flash manually via recovery.)
