After treating us to a myriad of beta builds, Android 10 is being officially rolled out for Pixel phones as well as some phones from OEMs partners like Redmi K20, Essential PH1, and more. Even the OnePlus 7/ 7 Pro has received an Android 10 build in beta on Day 1, which is just awesome. Android 10 brings along many cool features like the dark mode, fullscreen gestures, better location and privacy controls, smart replies, and more.
Note: Please follow the steps outlined below very carefully and keep your Pixel charged, else you risk it getting bricked during the process. Also, we suggest you make a backup before sideloading the update.
adb reboot recovery
- Now, hold down on the power button and press the volume up button once to see the “recovery menu” pop up. Select the “Apply update from ADB” option from this window to enter sideload mode.
Note: You can again run the “adb devices” command to see if the device is connected in sideload mode before you go ahead with Step 7.
