Anti-Rollback after android may update (Pixel 6a)

Hello,

with latest security update for pixel phones, google introduced an anti-rollback in stock rom.
It means there is probably no way to flash android 14 in downgrade from android 15.
So no way to flash the actual /e/ 2.9 build…

Did you experiment this problem ?

No, it’s even simpler than that unfortunately, it would appear that it’s impossible to downgrade to Android 14 if you’ve installed the May 2025 security update.
Also, since I made this update without knowing that there was this anti-rollback implementation, I’m good to wait for v3 of /e/ under android 15 to (re)switch to /e/.

This is a new warning dated May 2025 mentioned Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices

It looks too risky for me, I’ll wait for /e/ v3 with android 15. :slightly_smiling_face:
