Gogle pixel tablet, how to update?

I have seen the press release (the 1st supported tablet) and the release note for 2.6. The open question: How to handle a tablet with /e/os 2.5 installed?

  • According to the old install manual, the bootloader is not locked. So, is it a good idea to lock it now?
  • Is an OTA update to 2.6 planned?
  • How to update firmware?
  • Is a manual update from 2.5 to 2.6 possible without losing all data?

Locking the bootloader makes only sense if you use official build because OS upgrades will be available. With a locked bootloader you can’t update.

I guess you are on T as I am. My device also has no T so far. We might need to report it in the feedback.

That should come with the recovery, but I don’t know how to check that.

Look like you are on the comunnity branch,
There will be no more update for T, you need to upgrade to U

This is not exact…you can update for a newer version builded from the same branch (so same signature),
but you can’t change branch

  • /e/OS-T → /e/OS-U

or

  • /e/OS official → /e/OS community

without unlocking, so formating /data

As usual on a Gogol device, find instructions and files there : תמונות היצרן למכשירי Nexus ו-Pixel  |  Google Play services  |  Google for Developers
