@spokey300 I have silenced your account for 1 week. As noted by several, you have been repeatedly flooding and "@"ing users that have done their best to give you advice and suggestions. But you have not taken their advice and will repeatedly flood again with the same questions. The users here do not have your specific device, and they can’t test install for you. We are all happy for you to be enthusiastic about trying iodé but please do the work to try the advice, and just “@“ing a different user with the same flood of questions when the first user gave you solid advice to try and learn from doesn‘t help you or the people trying to help you. We all end up swirling in a circle, sort of like swirling down a toilet bowl is an analogy I am suggesting is how we all feel in this situation.
During this week of silence, I suggest the following:
- I am uploading iodé 6.3 builds for
akitain the next day. I have one version built but am testing a build variation. so want to verify that before I post them. I told you already I would get them uploaded by the end of the weekend, but since then you have sent about 50+ messages asking if you should really use it, where are the builds, how do you install, etc. This is not helpful for you or others. - Once I have the build uploaded (it will be posted to the Unofficial builds for Google Pixel devices post as I have already stated) you can attempt to install its
boot.img(recovery) AND then sideload the build usingadb. - If you can‘t get the
boot.imginstalled and you get the same message about your version being too new (you mention something about it being a 2025-05-05 version but I don’t know what recovery you are talking about, is this calyx recovery or lineage or other?) and there being some sort of older version to the build than is allowed by your patch level, then as @chrisrg mentions you have a newer patch applied from somewhere that prevents you from “downgrading” due to security reasons. If that is true, the easiest is to wait for another month until the iodé updates will equal the minimum patch level, and then try. But nothing else may be possible. So if you phone is unusable, which I think it is, then you should install a system on it with the updated patch level, which would be only stock from Google using flash.android.com or calyx again.
Good luck, we will hear back from you after 1 week to see how you progressed. I do wish you success.
PS. I am suspecting you are “Henry” and “superboys400” from Matrix that has flooded those channels with very similar messages about a Pixel 8a, and repeatedly "@"ing everyone, asking the same question about how to install, not listening, and repeating again if anyone gives you a reply. This behavior is not the way to make progress.
Regards,
Rik
