Android 15 DP1 OTA software no longer available for download

Last week, Google launched the Android 15 Developer Preview Program for select Pixel devices. The company recommends users stay on stable Android 14 build rather than installing the Developer Preview to see changes.

The company clearly notes that “issue with sideloading the Developer Preview 1 build can sometimes cause the device to show a ‘Device is corrupted’ message after sideloading is completed.”

As the Developer Preview is first stage of Android’s development with Public, it usually causes big concerns with consumers. A similar unexpected thing probably occurred on some Pixel devices, leading Google to pull OTA images.

According to the info, Google pulled Android 15 Developer Preview 1 OTA images from the download page. It has been reported that the company has “temporarily disabled downloads for OTA images.”

The company recommended that you “flash a factory image to test devices whenever possible instead of sideloading an OTA system image.” However, this was not considered a showstopper.

Some Pixel 7 Pro users reported device brick problem post installing the Android 15 DP1 OTA. Google recommended flashing factory images on devices, but the advisory didn’t prove able to stop users from potential harm.
