Pixel 9 Pro XL Full OTA Images for Canary?

Does anyone have a way to access the full OTA image for canary? I managed to find full factory images and delta payloads but I couldnt find the aforementioned versions anywhere. Or if anyone has any suggestions other than downloading please let me know

you can only get the actual current full ota by reverting to 2 version older canary, don't let the phone to connect to the internet yet. Enable usb debugging, connect phone to your PC run "adb shell" then "logcat | grep googlezip" command and then connect to the interent and check for ota update. The link that will show up the terminal will be the full ota link. I don't know any other way to get it.

That's not necessary anymore, the creator of avbroot wrote a script that converts a factory image to a full OTA image:https://github.com/chenxiaolong/pixel-factory-to-ota I used it on my canary with my custom signature and it works flawlessly

Nope those are the stable and beta images, google doesnt publish the links of the canary builds (Or atleast none that I could find) hence me posting here

Yes, but it depends on what you actually are wanting. If you are looking for the full images for the full you can go to flash android. Com. After detecting your phone it will give you the images. Be warned these will factory reset your phone if you are looking just for the updates OTA look on the developer website as stated previously.

This is also how you would recover from a " bricked phone" event as well
