    To everyone’s surprise, Android P DP1 (Developer Preview 1) is out and this is a post explaining how to update Android P DP1 for Google Pixel 2 XL.

    This is a manual update process of Developer Preview of Android P for Google Pixel 2 XL. Otherwise you will be able to get the Android P developer preview by enrolling to Android BETA program, which is not available for this update unfortunately.

    DISCLAIMER:
    Your phone will not get any OTA after updating to Android P DP1.
    Also, manually updating Android P DP1 for Google Pixel 2 XL requires an unlocked bootloader on Google Pixel 2 XL phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data.
    Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by YOU.

      The zip file comes in a package which might have similar to the following files:

      – scripts for different platforms like Windows and linux that will flash all of the images by itself to your device.
    2. Put the phone into fastboot or bootloader mode.
      – Power off your phone and boot into fastboot by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.
      – Press volume up or down button and select the power button when you see the Bootloader mode. After pressing power button you will be in Bootloader mode.
      – And then connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable (make sure USB drivers already installed and ADB FASTBOOT utilities must be installed as well).
    3. Run the flash-all.bat by double click on the script file.
      For linux users you have to run the flash-all.sh script file.Wait for the script till it flashes everything.
