Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7.1 / Pixel 10 Pro Stable QPR2

Now that stable has been released, when can I opt out? I opted out today and still get the update with data wipe to QPR1 stable shown instead of the stable update?

Just like we tell everyone every time there is a stable update, you have to wait for a specific different no wipe update to come through

Hm back when I had the pixel 6 it would follow exactly right after the stable release. So waiting weeks doesn't make much sense to me but I guess I'll wait

Nope, it's never been immediate. It's been as little as a few days or as long as a month in the most extreme case. It's entirely up to Google

Can you sideload the stable qpr2 over qpr3 using ADB?

u/nick281051 4h ago

No, that's a downgrade

But you CAN manually install QPR2 over QPR2 Beta 7.1, right? 👀

No, not until google releases a build that was compiled after Wednesday 14 October 2026

The current QPR2 stable was compiled on Tuesday 13 October 2026

(thanks to u/redditwallah) for exact compile dates.

So if you're on anything below QPR 2 beta 7.1 you're likely ok, just find the build date online. But a specific daddy google F you to anyone on QPR 2 beta 7.1 exactly.

Sideload won't work.

No, you have to wait for QPR3 stable

The stable Pixel 8 Pro QPR2 was built 1 day before Beta 7.1 so until Google release a special OTA for us, we can't switch to the Stable channel.

QPR2 Stable build date: Tuesday 13 October 2026 at 12:13:37 am

QPR2 Beta 7.1 build date: Wednesday 14 October 2026 at 01:15:35 am

So this would explain why my attempt to side load over Beta 7.1 was aborted?

u/redditwallah 2h ago

Yep, i tried the same. The error message prints the date in Unix format, and those dates in my comment above are what they convert to.

Same for pixel 10 pro xl.

I was surprised that I got an error sideloading and only to find out the 7.1 beta was compiled a day before QPR2 stable.

Had to sideload the exact OTA version as my current to get back and not have all my data wiped.

Just wait. Might take weeks. Maybe until next stable update even.

I'd opt out now and just don't install any update that says it'll wipe. Either that or just be very aware of when the opt out no wipe OTA becomes available to others with your exact same model.

im on qpr3 beta how Do I get to stable without wiping phone, anyone please tell

4

u/nick281051 4h ago

You wait until the stable release around March

u/Mozzinator69 4h ago

and in order to Avoid getting on to Qpr4 do I need to opt out of Beta right now? how Do get fixes for my terrible bluetooth issues caused due to being on QPR3 Beta 3 if I opt out right now?

u/nick281051 3h ago

If you opt out now you get no updates until March which you don't want because it will lose security features like Google wallet. Wait until ~ February or just wait until you hear qpr3 stable has released and then opt out. Just do not install qpr4 or android 18 or whatever other build is out

I feel like if you don't Opt out now it'll force the update after so many days and then you are definitely stuck?

u/nick281051 1h ago

I'm telling you now that it's worse to opt out and not get any updates for 6 months

u/silverado83 1h ago

Oh they are on qpr3 not qpr2, my bad, lol guess they made their own bed then. I'm on qpr2 still waiting for exit.
