How to downgrade Android 7.1 tô android 7.0 ?? Do i need to unlock my bootloader to do this??
Yes. You need.
My advice: Be careful what you do. Downgrading bootloader did hard brick later when updating on some Z Play. The most harmful switch between bootloader versions may be 7.0 patchlevel 3/17 versus 4/17, but I am not sure.

I have a dual sim reteu with locked bootloader. After upgrading to 7.1.1, my hotspot is not working.
Actually, I didn't check hotspot before 7.1.1.
Anyone with the same problem. Or Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks
You installed beta software, with that comes the risk of losing certain features. Android 7.1.1 hasn't been released officially by Motorola.

Sorry if I changed the subject, I'm still on android 6.0.1 (retla). You mean the OTAs that have posted are soak test? If so, I prefer to keep trying to get the official OTA. But I have the doubt, you mean 7.1.1, maybe the 7.0 that is in the forum if it is stable? If so, you can pass the official OTA link of 7.0. Thanks for your help
Hello fellas,
I've Moto Z2 Play update to Oreo, April patch. My bootloader was unlocked then I lock the bootloader these days, works fine. But, when I boot to bootloader it's show "oem_locked" but not show Official Software as well.
So, It's possible to downgrade to last build Android nougat then OTA update to Oreo ? I think it's fix and show the Official Software.

I downgraded from android 10 to android 8.1
So I was fed up with Xiaomi latest updates on this Phone Mi A2 lite and decided to give it a go to downgrade to android 8.1 back when this phone was A REAL BEAST! Guess what happened. Firstly there was no mobile network so I flashed again with...

Hello, am new to pixel device... My previous device was Xiaomi Mi 11 , my device carne with A13 !my question is there any way to downgrade to A12 I want to flash derfest A12 my fav ROM .. thx in advance
Hello, welcome to Pixel land.
First, in order to flash a factory image, you'd have to unlock your bootloader. If you don't know already, click the yellow How To Guide quick filter at the top of the list of threads in this section and you'll find 3-4 threads that tell how. I also have a link in my signature below - you can use the link for the Pixel 7 Pro - the instructions to unlock the bootloader are the same, and the OP of my Pixel 7 Pro thread is much better organized than my one for the Pixel 6 Pro, in my opinion.
After that, the only way you can downgrade (and have everything working, and not brick your phone is to use one of the two Android 12 Developer Support images for Pixel. There's an Android 12.0 build from February and an Android 12.1 build from July. They will never receive updates, however.
You can always manually flash a Pixel 6 Pro stable Factory Image to re-upgrade at a later date, or use the Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own) to re-upgrade.
Any of the stable Android 12 builds at that factory image link should not be flashed because the Android 13 bootloader cannot be downgraded to an Android 12 bootloader, and if you flash everything from 12 Stable but the bootloader, it'll appear to work at first, but it truly won't work correctly - it will not be useable.
If you unlock the bootloader, you should also make sure the Android 13 bootloader is flashed to your inactive slot as well, to avoid the possibility of accidentally bricking your new phone.
Thanks for the fast reply sir much appreciated .. I got the idea ... My device stock unlocked and rooted .. now my question is if I flashed the July A12.1 developer ... Can I flash custom ROM based on A12.1 like derpfest etc ... Sorry I mixed up things here little harder than xiaomi

You're welcome. I don't fool around with custom ROMs except on my 6-year-old or more phones, so I can't answer that question. Part of the best things about having Pixels is the software features Google starts off exclusively on the Pixel stock ROMs.
