Best and most simplistic tutorial! So many others miss steps, are long winded or add unnecessary details. Appreciate this very friendly tutorial!

[Grouse-tb]

Excellent video, no fluff, just basic info well explained, makes sideloading foolproof.

This is the best how-to on the internet. Awesome job! Very concise and all steps included.

[Pozzibilitiiz]

best sideload instructions on youtube easily, without a doubt lol. anyone should be able to follow this

[eugene]

Awesome tutorial, had problems getting my Pixel 7 to OTA the December update kept saying I was up to date so I tried this. Works great!

[BestInTheWorld]

This video should be the only video you watch to know how to side load updates. Short, simple, and to the point for us simpletons 😂

[kooljokez]

great guide easy to understand. I only had one problem and all it took was to switch to a better cable.

[meatheadosaki]

This video was the best. I just used it for Android 14. Thank You!

Thank you, this was extremely helpful.

What you clarified and other tutorials didn't, is that the .zip is added only in PowerShell.

[yearlingvideos]

I echo others. AWESOME instructions!!!! my December OTA never updated and it is now January. I am almost at 100%

This was an excellent tutorial. The main problem I had trouble with was the power + vol buttons. I didn't realize it was hold power button, then tap volume up once. Many tutorials left out this important detail. Thank you!

[jrusk]

Thank you so much. My Pixel 5 didn't get the last two updates and this tutorial made it so easy to update. I will update via OTA sideload from now on.

[kapketan]

Really you make this video very easy for every one with details and no complication as you describe my update is done in about 5 mins. I love the way you explain to us.

[imonporteous]

Thank you for this very simplistic DIY.

[carpathus]

Cool enough. Better than all the fluffy time wasting tutorials out there. I think those other people just like to hear themselves talk. Good job Cat Woman. Would like to know why my P7 is still on the November patch with the OTA January patch rolling out now. Is my phone broken? Should I contact support and request an RMA? Cheers!

[romeoluzrap]

Can you make a video on how to raise and lower an Android? Your instructions are very detailed, easy to understand, and simple. Can be done right away.

Finally got my Jan update on Feb 1 lol. I might have to repeat in a few days for the Feb update on my pixel 7 pro. Don't worry if your side load gets stuck at 0% for twenty minutes, it eventually started making progress. I did push on the USB connection to the computer when I was about to give up, but I don't know if that fixed it or was just a coincidence.
Thanks for the help! Nothing is worse than buying an unlocked pixel and not getting updates due to a T Mobile conflict or something

Thaks, this video help me as i did not receive the Dec 2023 pixwl update on my 7 pro after opt out beta
