Firmware
AXP.OS for the Google Pixel 6a includes the appropriate bootloader and modem firmware for the corresponding Android version provided.
Important
Unfortunately, some manufacturers enable so-called “Anti-Rollback Protection” (ARB), which in the worst-case scenario can even take effect within the bootloader (notable examples include various LG models, as well as Samsung and even some Google Pixel devices).
In these cases, special caution must be exercised, as this can often result in a hard brick, which may be unreparable depending on the manufacturer and model. This is not a problem with AXP.OS itself, but affects all custom OSes for such devices.
If you are unsure, please check with the support room before flashing AXP.OS.
Install / Upgrade
Required firmware/bootloader
Your firmware/OS must be on April 2025 or older when flashing AXP.OS A13 builds!
IMPORTANT NOTICE
If your current firmware is on May 2025 or later you can NOT flash AXP.OS - A13 builds! This is due to a rollback implementation by Google which will lead to a hard-brick on these devices! If you are not sure, request support before flashing! Details
If you are 100% sure your device met the above requirements follow the regular Install (Pixel devices) guide:
Setup AXP.OS
Follow Setup
Re-locking the bootloader
