Manually flashing a device


Warning: Flashing a system image removes all data from the target device. Back up your data before flashing.

Flashing is the process of installing a system image and supporting files on a target device. Flashing lets you set up an initial test and build environment. It gives you precise control over the test environment on your device and lets you reinstall as often as needed, such as for automated testing.

After downloading a system image, please follow these complete instructions for flashing the system image to your device.

Uninstalling the Preview from a device


If you want to uninstall the preview from a device, obtain a factory spec system image from the Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices page and then manually flash it to the device.

Warning: Uninstalling a Developer Preview system image prior to the end of the program requires a full device reset and removes all user data on the device.

Farhan Abro

Hello! My name is Farhan Abro, and I'm based here in Islamabad. My journey in Pakistan's digital media really kicked off when I founded INCPak back in 2012. We built it from the ground up, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, to be a trusted voice for independent journalism. But while media is a big part of who I am, I'm also shaped by a fascinating mix of other passions. I'm deeply into automotive, which gives me a technical edge, but I also find my artistic expression through landscape photography and music. And I'm always diving into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence. Bringing all these different worlds together the technical, the creative, the journalistic, and the entrepreneurial—it really colors how I see things and approach every project. It gives me a distinct perspective that I try to bring to everything I share
