So if you ever wish to revert to Android 12, you will have to use the Fastboot Method or Android Flash Tool, both of which require an unlocked bootloader.Īs far as the supported device list is concerned, you could install the Android 13 either via ADB Sideload on the following devices: Google Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6 Pro.

This is because ADB Sideload doesn’t support downgrading. But on the downside, you wouldn’t be able to downgrade to Android 12 using this method. The biggest advantage of ADB Sideload is that you could easily update your device to Android 13 on a locked bootloader. This method has its fair share of perks and caveats.
