Upgrade PixelExperience on potter

Important: Please read through the instructions at least once completely before actually following them to avoid any problems because you missed something!

Warning: We recomend a factory reset before upgrading.

Warning: These instructions only apply to version upgrades. If you wish to downgrade to an earlier version of PixelExperience, follow your device’s instructions for installing PixelExperience the first time.

Manually upgrading PixelExperience

Tip: In some cases, a newer PixelExperience version may not install due to an outdated recovery. Follow your device’s installation guide to see how you can update your recovery image.

The updater app does not support upgrades from one version of PixelExperience to another, and will block installation to any update for a different version. Upgrading manually requires similar steps to installing PixelExperience for the first time.

Download the PixelExperience install package that you’d like to install or build the package yourself.
Make sure your computer has working adb. Setup instructions can be found here.
Enable USB debugging on your device.
Run adb reboot sideload.
Important: The device may reboot to a blank black screen, fear not, this is a known bug on some recoveries, proceed with the instructions.
Run adb sideload /path/to/zip (inserting the path to your PixelExperience package).
(Optionally): If you want to install any additional add-ons, click Advanced, then ADB Sideload, then swipe to begin sideload, then adb sideload /path/to/zip those packages in sequence.
Once you have installed everything successfully, run adb reboot.
