Android 13 is gradually carrying out to Pixel telephones, yet here's an interesting point when that update message at long last springs up on your gadget: You can never return.
Google is clearly having an impact on the manner in which Android refreshes are upheld on its most recent gadgets. Another admonition message on the Pixel Factory Image page says that the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a can never return to more established variants of Android once they update:
Caution: The Android 13 update for Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel 6a contains a bootloader update that increases the counter roll back rendition. Subsequent to blazing an Android 13 expand on these gadgets you can not streak more seasoned Android 12 forms.
Hostile to rollback was first presented in Android 8 as a security highlight. Google can fix every one of the endeavors it needs, however security fixes are inane in the event that an aggressor can simply move back a gadget to a past variant that is brimming with security openings. Rollback security works by recording the most current introduced adaptation into alter clear capacity that continues across gadget wipes, and presently the framework knows whether it's on an old form or not. Beforehand, this element would simply show an admonition message on boot (and it seems to be that will in any case occur on the Pixel 5 and lower), yet presently, Google obviously says of the Pixel 6, "You can not streak more established Android 12 forms."
It's not satisfactory why just the Pixel 6 is impacted by this change. In the event that you don't count Android 12L, this is the Pixel 6's most memorable significant OS update. The three telephones recorded are likewise the main three telephones that utilization Google's most memorable in-house SoC, the Google Tensor, so perhaps the chip is utilizing its muscles with new enemy of downsize abilities.
This is certainly not no joking matter for most shoppers, however in past Android renditions, it was ideal to have a getaway hatch in the event that Google emerged with an especially buggy first delivery. Assuming you habitually evaluate different programming fabricates, this change will apparently imply that you can't utilize any more established outsider ROMs, by the same token.
Update: We have a defense! As spotted by Esper's Mishaal Rahman, the Android web streak device makes sense of this downsize counteraction is to stop a bootloader weakness intended for Android 12.
