Google has released Developer Support images for rolling back | Google

Google has released Developer Support images for rolling back the Pixel 6, 6 Pro and 6a to Android 12 and 12.1.

As you may recall, the update to Android 13 for the Pixel 6, 6 Pro and 6a carries a bootloader update that closes a security hole and increments anti-rollback counter.

There are various reasons to go back to Android 12, first and foremost it's good for developers. To that end, Google has released "Android 12 Developer Support Images for Pixel." These are images of Android 12 and 12.1, with a new version of the bootloader. They do not pass CTS, "are for developers only and are not suitable for general use."
