Additionally, for owners of Pixel 6 and Pixel 8 series devices, Google has a warning to heed before updating.

Warning: “The May 2025 update for Pixel 6 (6, 6 Pro, 6a) and Pixel 8 (8, 8 Pro, 8a) devices contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-rollback version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing the May 2025 update on these devices, you will not be able to flash and boot older Android 15 builds.”

Google cautions users of Pixel 6 and Pixel 8 series devices that the May 2025 update includes a bootloader update that increases the anti-rollback version. This prevents reverting to older, potentially vulnerable bootloader versions. Once the update is installed, users will be unable to flash and boot older Android 15 builds.
