Question Stuck on "Copy Apps & Data" after rollback from Android 14 beta

[dynopops]

Hi all. I just want to seek help on the same error when wiping/factory resetting the phone:
"Unable to enable ext4 verify on /block/dev/platform/14700000.ufs/by-name/metadata because /system/bin/tune2fs is missing"

I'm able to boot up to the setup screen but I get stuck at the "Copy Apps & Data" stage. Tried every option but it either just goes back to the first screen or would get an error that "Settings has stopped working" error.

So far I've tried sideloading the latest OTA from this site https://developers.google.com/android/ota#bluejay
13.0.0 (TQ2A.230505.002, May 2023)

It completes without error but even after the install, when wiping/factory resetting the phone, I still get the same error and same situation at the start screen

I'm using a Pixel 6a

Did you flash both slots? Did you flash the A13 radio/bootloader to both slots?

Google "backups" aren't guaranteed to work on versions earlier than what they were saved on. Same with doing an in-place reversion. Set it up like you've never had a phone before, then install the apps you want manually, and do all the sign-ins from scratch.

I have same problem. Bootloader lock. I can't setup my phone.

I am stuck in the same situation.
While setting up the device, I get stuck at "copy apps and data".
I have tried adb sideloading both Android 13 as well as Android 14 images.
Need help, please.

Found the solution and it works!!!!


Step 1: On the "Copy Apps and Data" screen, continuously tap on "Don't Copy" until a dialog box appears with the message: "Settings Keeps Stopping: App Info, Close App, and SEND FEEDBACK."

Step 2: Tap on "Send Feedback" within the dialog box.

Step 3: Select the "Legal" option from the subsequent menu.

Step 4: Click on the YouTube video link provided. This will automatically redirect you to the YouTube app.

Step 5: Access the YouTube app's settings and navigate to the "Privacy" section.

Step 6: Within the YouTube app settings, tap on "Terms of Service." This action should open up the Chrome browser.

Step 7: Visit the following URL: https://addrom.com/bypass

Step 8: Click on the option labeled "Screen Smart Lock."

Step 9: The Settings app should now open, and you will find yourself on the screen lock page. Set up a PIN, and it doesn't matter what numbers you choose. After setting it up, the screen lock page will reappear. Here, you'll need to repeatedly enter the same PIN (around 10 times or more) until you reach a screen with body detection. Feel free to skip that step.

Step 10: Restart your phone.

Step 11: Once your phone restarts, reach the "Copy Apps and Data" screen again and select "Don't Copy." Alternatively, if needed, proceed by clicking on "Next."

By following these steps, you should be able to bypass the issue and continue with the rest of the setup process smoothly.

Hi,
I am not getting the SEND FEEDBACK option. I just have App info & Close apps option on "Settings keeps stopping". Appreciate any help here.
