May 2026 patch anti-rollback information: "After taking an May 2026 update and successfully booting the device post update, an Android 16 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updates for more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains an older bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented. If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, the fallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries to boot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the older bootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.

To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing an impacted Pixel device with the May 2026 update or newer for the first time, flash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot after successfully updating and booting into Android 16 May 2026 at least once. This can be done by following these steps:

After a successful boot into Android 16 May 2026 for the first time, sideload the full OTA image corresponding to that build and reboot the device to ensure that both slots have a bootable image."
