I recently received a message on my pixel 6 that a system update will be "automatically installed" on my device in 1 day. The update is 2.02 gb in size and it's listed as a "security update". Would this be the Android 13 OTA? I've disabled Automatic System Updates, but I'm afraid this will install and brick my phone/mess up my root. Is there anyway to prevent it from installing?

That's the Android 12 GPS fix it sounds like.
Google Pixel 6 getting 'Introducing Android 12' update
Many Google Pixel 6 series users are confused due to an 'Introducing Android 12' update ahead of Android 13, here is what's happening.

Thanks, any idea how to safely install the update? Is this Magisk guide still accurate?
OTAs are arguably the safest way to update regarding any danger to bricking devices. Any hoopla you may have heard about A13->A12 or A12->A13 bricking is via flashing not OTA updates. You will have to re-root/magisk. Those guides have been (should) updated for a13. But OTA updates within android 12 and to android 13 should not brick your device and should be totally safe. But once you are on android 13, you are on it forever. No downgrading. You can only move forward (for now).
Thanks, I am still quite new to this so to confirm, the A/B partition method will not work? Would I just install the OTA and then re-root? I'm using Magisk Canary 24.3 if that matters

Yeah, that guide is accurate but the "Install to Inactive Slot" method has been hit and miss for some. If you are on a custom kernel you also need to return to stock kernel to make it work as well.

Canary 24.3 does matter, it won't work. You need Magisk 25.200 or higher for A13.

Make sure to disable any Magisk mods that may need updating as well, but since you're just making a minor update from one July build to another July build I suspect you'll be ok. But it's still good practice to disable mods when updating to avoid potential bootloops.
Hi,
I have the same issue (system security update 2.02 GB) bothering me everyday and I do not want to update my phone. I am rooted but am not sure what Titanium backup should freeze to stop this. Any ideas? I appreciate it. I do not want to have to re root etc, it took me months to successfully root .

Did you ever figure this out? Or what happened? I have updates disabled under dev but I got the same notification.
If anyone can respond, I just have root with systemless host enabled for adblocking. If the update goes through, worst case I just have to reroot?

Take the update. You'll have to root again.

If you have made any system changes, you will not be able to accept it anyways. It will just fail.

Best practice is to wait and see if those that have taken an update are able to Root afterwards, if so then your good!
Personally... I'm just keeping my phone on the 10B firmware until a custom recovery comes. My phone runs great right now.
If for some reason we make it to the Android L update before we get an unlock, then I'm wait and see if it's possible to Root and unlock that prior to updating.
My S4 was on 4.4.4 and really being on 4.4.2 were not missing anything.

You would lose root.
It's a toss up of whether you would even be able to take the update.
Depends on how they check the file system. Definitely if you are running Xposed, you won't be able to OTA unless you go back to stock.
Somewhat OT, but I was a bit surprised to see that I kept root after a factory reset (TiBu borked myself into a bootloop). Just re-downloaded and installed SuperSU, and good to go.
As the title says, I really don't want to lose my (Rooted) heavily modded ROM, has anyone tried to update OTA and kept Root?
It either wont verify update or if it somehow does you will lose root with your mods and changes

You`ll never get past that "verify" error while your phone is rooted and/or custom recovery installed. If you want to update and keep ROOT you need to flash a prerooted zip found here on the forums.
what about the mods and stuff?

That sucks, I might just skip this update until Android M, as it's not worthy and also, I have heard of many battery drain reports, one of which just a few minutes ago from a friend of mine
I was at work so I never got a chance to capture the D/L. It was small, around 4MB. Anyone else see it?
Probably the Nov security update posted here

When I flashed Marshmallow, I went back to unrooted. So the OTA worked fine, but not sure if you can stall with Root.
No.

OTA Update
I am also unable to install the update however I am on Marshmallow 6 and every time I boot up my device it tells me that the device is untrusted.
is this part of a larger issue?

This is normal. The warning is displayed because you have modified your device. It means nothing for the functionality of your tablet.
You cannot use the OTA update if your system is modified. You must be stock unrooted, unless you used the systemless root method in which case you need to restore stock recovery and kernel, then OTA will work.
This zip is not meant to be flashed in TWRP, it's the official OTA update which needs the stock recovery and completely unmodified /system partition.
Has everyone received May Security Update???
For me it's showing as Already Updated to Latest Version, i am on 11.0.11.0. & i have magisk installed so is there any possibility that because of magisk i ain't getting updates???

That is indeed the reason. You need to flash stock boot.img. not sure if magisk uninstaller does the trick also

Magisk will not prevent getting OTA update in any way (only its installation). OTA update is rolled out in stages and your country might not be included yet.

I have Magisk and I'm on 11.0.14.0.
Maybe a module is messing with the updates, try enable Magisk core mode only inside Magisk reboot and check again.
Edit: Just checked after writing and I did get may security update.
Also remember to follow the right way to update with Magisk.

The file you linked, is it he ROM or just the May update?!
So sorry for my noobish; but, I am on CrDroid and for now I am studying the steps to return to Stock Android 10.
Surprised I haven't seen any posts. 10.0.40 landed on my phone on Oct 28th. Only change is the October security update.
Hello
After rooting my Mclaren, I can't do any more system updates. Does anyone know how I can do it?
Best Regards

You need to restore the boot image back to stock. In Magisk Manager, select uninstall and select restore images. Then reboot and try again. Howerver, depending on what method you used to root, it may not be able to restore the factory boot image. In which case you'll need to find it online.
Seems very skippable lol. Certainly not worth the effort of unrooting and rerooting.
Mine was rooted and had .35 on it. This popped up on mine too and I was able to do OTA upgrade. Not full and lose my data. Happy here
The only change was October security update

Ok, so I have the update waiting to be installed, and I've ran the fixer in the past after a bootloader unlock:
What is the process to update now? Lol do I need to do anything with Magisk?
I think my phone failed to install it, or I just never tried yet cause I'm stupid and still trying to learn all this properly.
