Following last week\u2019s release<\/a>, Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3.1 is rolling out<\/a> as a patch for Pixel devices that failed to boot if \u201cEnable desktop experience features\u201d was enabled before installing.<\/p>\n

BP41.250916.010: Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a <\/p>\n

BP41.250916.010.A1: All devices<\/p>\n

On our Pixel 9a already running Beta 3 and had no issues, this is just a 2.64 MB update. Google last week pulled the OTA. Today\u2019s release notes<\/a> do not have an updated entry for Beta 3.1.<\/p>\n

Google lists several options for devices that \u201ctook the Beta 3 update, had\u2026 Settings > System > Developer options > \u201cEnable desktop experience features\u201d turned on, and are unable to boot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ideally, let the system recover itself back to Beta 2 after the system fails to boot a few times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you have (ADB) USB debugging enabled in developer options before the bootloop<\/p>\n

Sideload the new OTA package update<\/p>\n

If you are on the Android Recovery page after the bootloop: Factory reset<\/p>\n

Factory wipe\/reset from Recovery\/Rescue mode<\/p>\n

The full instructions are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beta 3 fixed a lot of problems<\/a>, but there\u2019s a bug with the loss of other lockscreen clocks. Google presumably has a bigger bug fixer update in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n
