Little update, I just booted into eOS v1.16-t, without wipe or going back to stock and even switching from stable to dev.
I did some reading how Google flashes it to stock and some xda ost on others doing manual update on Pixels. After another Backup I figured what ever happens, happens.
My steps we’re these:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sunfish-s5-0.5-8633307.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-sunfish-g7150-00091-220617-b-8737049.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot recovery-e-1.16-t-20231019342574-dev-sunfish.img → Couldn’t boot into recovery, fastboot showed an error
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img → I figured it won’t hurt
Then I had to reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot recovery-e-1.16-t-20231019342574-dev-sunfish.img
adb sideload copy-partitions-20220613-signed.zip → for possible future problems to negate
adb sideload e-1.16-t-20231019342574-dev-sunfish.zip → had to reboot recovery again install had an error and said reboot recovery, on the second try it worked
Checking the ‘Android Version’ I saw that ‘Baseband-Version’ is even newer, this is surely because in the payload.bin there is a radio.img. Vendor Patch is also 05.09.2023.
Bootloader has also a higher number than the one I flashed, when I check fastboot.
Now I wonder if bootloader and radio flash even was needed…anyway
Now my last question in this regard for future OTA’s is, if you think of an issue which might occur when updating to v1.17?
