Android users finally get Android 16 Beta 3.1, as bootloader fix comes in

Google has begun rolling out an update to address bootloop issues affecting users in the Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3 program. This update is being distributed to all devices, with specific instructions provided for those still facing problems. The Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3, released late last week, included new features such as an app shortcut button and updates to Live Caption, but was met with reports of bootloop issues among Pixel testers. The OTA patch rollout started on October 20, targeting bootloader issues, with patch version vBP41.250916.010 for Pixel 6, 6 Pro, or 6a devices, while other eligible Pixels receive the same version. Google has also provided steps for users still experiencing bootloop problems, including downloading Beta 3.1 and using Recovery mode for installation. Following the reports, Google retracted the patch to prevent further complications. Early feedback indicates that the new patch has resolved bootloop problems for some testers.
