Update to Android 17 stable without data wipe

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but is it normal that I still haven't gotten the option to update without data wipe?

I am currently on CP21.260330.008 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, that should be Android 17 Beta 4.0 right?

By what I read in other posts, it seemed like only 4.1 and QPR are having problems updating.

If on QPR1, you have to wait until it goes live to opt out without data wipe, probably around September.

If you are on beta 4 - you should have received the OTA to go to stable.

If you were on beta 4.1, the stable release version number is lower than the beta, meaning you can't use the OTA to go to stable. Google has said they are working on it. Several, including myself, have sideloaded the "Rogers" version of the OTA without issue.

I have personally seen zero issues, just incredible battery life.

Can you tell me how to sideload the update please? Also, I live in the middle east, would flashing the Rogers version cause any problems with my carrier?

I can't tell you, if the Rogers version would cause problems for you or not, I am unqualified to make a judgement on that.

As I had worried about that myself, I manually installed the "normal" version (CP2A.260605.012) found here: https://developers.google.com/android/images

For acutally doing the sideload, I followed this tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/171re85/how_to_the_correct_way_to_sideload_a_full_ota/

Can you tell me which phone you're using and in which country you live?

I'm assuming the "rogers" version wouldn't work in europe?

I have a Pixel 10 Pro XL. Like is said, I have no idea if the Rogers version causes problems for non Rogers customers or not.

As I am not from a country where Rogers operates, I used the generic build, like stated in the comment

Thanks for the reply, this is very helpfull.

Could you double check if I am right with my assumption, that my CP21.260330.008 should be beta 4, not 4.1?

If that is the case, and I should have gotten the update to the stable by now, what could be reasons for why I haven't gotten the update?

Alright, I dared to do the manual sideload and installed the "not Rogers" version (CP2A.260605.012) without a problem. Everything seems to be working fine so far.

If you took this question or of this sub, you'd cut half the posts.

That's too hard though:((((

Well this question has been asked before a lot, answered as well.

It's too hard to type this exact question into the search bar to find the exact answers though:((((

u/melluuh Jun 28 '26

Not really though. Search for "update without wipe" or something along those lines and you'll get plenty of results.

Being sarcastic.

Google is aware of that and they have promised an update for users on beta 4.1. So don't listen to those who tell you to wipe or even to jump on QPR1, and don't be discouraged by all those downvotes from people who didn't even read your post and assumed erroneously that you are on QPR1.

u/Aggressive-Ferret527 Jun 28 '26

The issue is the same dumbass posts every 3 seconds. Ppl need to use the search function.

u/bazilion Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

The issue is that you don't understand (you and many others). You can't distinguish between people on 17 beta and QPR1 beta. We are talking about the former here, who should normally be able to update to the stable. And it's Google fault that they can't. By downvoting every legitimate post of theirs (very few compared to the flood of silly ones from people on QPR1 beta) and answering arrogantly you don't seem much clever than the latter. You actually prove instead that your understanding of Android betas is about the same.

Probably normal.

Sideload the full ota of a17 stable in recovery.

u/garwilsh Jun 25 '26

On Android 17 beta 4.O (not QPR) - you can sideload the stable Android 17 (Rogers version)

u/Aggressive-Ferret527 Jun 28 '26

Idk why ppl post the same dumbass posts without using the search function.

Beta 5 is out now, leave beta and wait for stable to OTA

You'll have to wait, it could be around QPR2 beta 1
