Google launches software update for December 2021 including 7th feature drops on new smartphone "Pixel 6/6 Pro"! I tried to introduce it with adb sideload --S-MAX

As previously reported, the 7th installment of the new feature "Pixel feature drops" (http://g.co/pixel/updates) provided by Google to the company's smartphone (smartphone) "Pixel" series and the monthly security patch for Android. We are sequentially providing software updates including December 2021. Initially, it was provided after the "Pixel 3" series except for the latest models "Pixel 6" and "Pixel 6 Pro". After that, software updates have been sequentially provided to Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro from December 13 (local time), and factory images for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will also be available on December 15 (local time). It is open to the public, and it is possible to make a differential update with "adb side load" using Android Debug Bridge (adb) by connecting to a personal computer. The updated build numbers are "SQ1D.211205.016.A1" for the global version, "SQ1D.211205.017" for the US version, "SQ1D.211205.016.A4" for the EMEA version such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Germany, and "SQ1D" for the Australian version. .211205.016.A5 ". As for the Japanese version, there is no guidance from au (KDDI / Okinawa Cellular Phone) and SoftBank (SoftBank) that sell Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, so the manufacturer version (SIM-free product) sold at the Google store. There is a high possibility that software updates (OTA) via the network have not yet been delivered in Japan, including the above, and there are many posts that OTA does not actually come even on SNS such as Twitter. On the other hand, Google (hereinafter, Google Japan) updated the support web page on December 20, stating that the Japanese version has the same build number "SQ1D.211205.016.A1" as the global version. The corresponding OTA has not been distributed to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that I have until now, but in this article I will introduce the pattern because I introduced the factory image. When updating software using a factory image on the Pixel series, connect to a computer and use Android Debug Bridge (adb). Previously, it was a method of rewriting the entire software with "flash-all", but before I knew it, it was changed to a method of differential update with "adb sideload". In flash-all, it is initialized, so it was necessary to make initial settings each time, but in adb sideload, it is a differential update like software update by OTA, so the settings and data are inherited as they are. Therefore, if you have a personal computer, you can use it more easily. First, enable the developer options. The rough procedure is as follows. Please make the adb command available on your computer in advance. In this case, press "Link" of "12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)" from "Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google Developers" on your computer for differential update. Download the factory image of. SHA-256 Checksum is "4fa45f8d5e442b4632b74d8615ad2189af2276b9334f44e15cd1e216e301646f" for Pixel 6 (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/oriole-ota-sq1d.211205.016.a1-4fa45f8d.zip (Https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/raven-ota-sq1d.211205.016.a1-81234517.zip). 1. Display "Settings" → "Device Information" on the Pixel main unit, and tap "Build Number" at the bottom continuously to enable "Developer Options" (Set screen lock). If it is, you need to unlock it.) 2. When "Developer options have been enabled" is displayed, display "Settings" → "System" → "Developer options" and click "USB debugging". Turn on the switch of 3. "Do you want to allow USB debugging? USB debugging is designed for development only." Is displayed, so press "OK". 4. When connecting to a computer with a USB cable , "Do you want to allow USB debugging? Fingerprint of RSA key of this computer: ~" is displayed, so press "Allow". 5. On the computer, select "Command Prompt" for Windows or "Terminal" for macOS. Use the adb command to verify that the Pixel is connected. If it is not connected, an error will be displayed (example: "error: no devices / emulators found" for macOS) 6. Execute "adb reboot bootloader" at the command prompt or terminal (power the Pixel on. You can also press and hold the power key and volume down key at the same time after turning it off.) 7. Press the volume down key on Pixel twice, set "Start" to "Recovery mode", and press the power key. 8. Start with Pixel. The animation "Google" will be displayed, and after a short wait, the sleeping droid with a red exclamation mark will be displayed, so hold down the power key and press the volume up key to speak. 9. Android system recovery will start. , Press the volume down key to select "apply update from ADB" and press the power key 10. The message "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with" adb sideload "" will be displayed on your computer. At the command prompt or terminal, run "adb sideload oriole-ota-sq1d.211205.016.a1-4fa45f8d.zip" for Pixel 6 or "adb sideload raven-ota-sq1d.211205.016.a1-81234517.zip" for Pixel 6 Pro. 11. If successful, select "reboot system now" in Android system recovery and reboot to complete the software update. Turn on "USB debugging" in the developer options. Allow USB debugging from your computer. Then do a differential update with adb sideload. When the software update is completed successfully, the build number will be "SQ1D.211205.016.A1".In this December 2021 software update, some contents will be supported by the application update. It includes the 7th Pixel feature drops and Android security patch level for December 2021, as well as new features and bug fixes and improvements in many categories (performance, stability, connectivity, etc.). On the other hand, for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, OTA has started due to software update for December 2021 such as connection problems to mobile phone networks and functions that make some voice calls convenient are no longer available. Problems have been reported by overseas users, and it seems that it is difficult to do OTA in Japan. Also, as already introduced, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were not compatible with 5G of NTT DoCoMo and Rakuten Mobile (Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI) at the time of release, but the software update for December 2021 At the same time, it was announced that it will be supported except for the millimeter wave of Rakuten Mobile, but it was confirmed that it is actually supported by Pixel 6 Pro with SQ1D.211205.016.A1. However, what is a little worrisome is that if the "version of mobile communication company settings" is Rakuten Mobile, for example, with the software update for November 2021 (build number "SD1A.210817.037") applied, "rakuten_jp-30000000035.56 2021" It was "-11-08", but with the software update for December 2021 (build number "SQ1D.211205.016.A1") applied, the version is up to "rakuten_jp-32000000035.48 2021-09-30". It seems like, but the time stamp was out of date.
