Bootloader Unlock & Root guide for 2019? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I am using a go11c global Pixel XL are there any guides that people can link within the thread that are relevant today I'm using the latest build for android 10 on stock rom build QP1A.19.1005.007.A1.

The older methods still work the layout/exact labelling/orgaization of various options is just in slightly different places. The 9.0 guide is 95% accurate for android 10

Hey. I think this is widely discussed elsewhere. Just search for "MIUI Android 9 vs MIUI Android 10" in Google or YouTube. You'll find way more information there than you would ever find here regarding such generic topics. Have fun ?

I want oxygen os on my Samsung Note 10 plus

hey there guys can anyone help me to have oxygen os 10 on my note 10plus
I am new to this uploading roms and customization of phone
So I need your help step by step
So I dont damage my phone
Thank you soo much guys in advance
It's not possible. If you have a US or Canadian model you can't unlock the bootloader. If you have the Exynos version or the Snapdragon sold in parts of Latin America or Asia, you MIGHT be able to unlock the bootloader and flash an AOSP or LineageOS based rom that is very similar to Oxygen OS. Unlocking the bootloader and installing ROMs is a lot of work and NOT recommended for beginners. Check out the tutorials on XDA and decide if it's possible for you.
It's also possible to greatly modify your phone without bootloader unlock or root using themes and modification tools. Hex Installer, combined with Google apps from the Play Store can make your phone feel very similar to stock Android.

Lineageos

Hey, can i use lineageos on my 20x?
The only way is if you're running Android 9, have it rooted (can't root this phone running Android version above 9, maybe 9.1) and there's a LineageOS rom built for the 20x. I don't think there was ever a rom built, so pretty sure you can't unless you build it.
two options: based on emui 9 unlock bootloader via ministryofsolutions and then either -
A) install openkirin custom rom, will work for sure but still stuck on android 10
B) check and see if any GSI rom might work, potentially issues or might not boot at all, but goes up to android 11/12
i plan to replace my battery in a few months, together with a new back casing to get rid of some scratches. with that, i also plan to try and unlock my BL and play around with GSI roms. with a bit of luck, one of them might boot and work android 11/12, here we come?! hahaha

Yes, you can root on A13. There are several guides in the forum with instructions. Just click on the "How to Guides" tab in the Quick Filters at the top of the main Pixel 6 Pro forum page.

No one can predict if you will have any problems, but to ensure you don't, after you unlock the bootloader then next do this:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader --slot all bootloader.img
Substitute the name of your bootloader file (NOT boot.img) instead of "bootloader.img". Get the bootloader.img from inside the inner zip file that's in the latest Android 13 Stable (full) Factory Image from:
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
Once you do that you'll be as safe as we should be. You only have to do that once, not every time you update your phone. You can do it every time if you choose to, but there's no reason to.
Latest SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver required.
Thanks! I'll try...
I also bought a phone from Japan while I live in Indo. Google lock indo 5G. I mean can we unlock that bro?

There is no difference in rooting A12 and A13. Just make sure you have, at the minimum, the A13 bootloader flashed to both slots. Information is in the guides on how to do that if you don't know.

All the how to original posts are updated frequently and give the best options for root. However, you seem nervous to follow them, part of the responsibility of having a rooted phone is being able to follow what are straight forward (if assuming of non novice status of the reader) steps.
An additional new topic would be redundant
I would recommend to anyone who wants a pain free experience rooting android 13 to use flashtool and download the factory image. Fastboot boot the patched boot image, direct install.

Question Downgrade?

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.
