direct link DL (previous one died an hour later, this will also be rate limited in no time probably, only use if you cannot download the torrent for whatever reason): <!-- Redacted link --> <br>
full list of builds that were removed: https://pastebin.com/0Cw8iDUf, you can still find one or two download sources for each one by googling it, but be careful, I couldn't find the hashes of the original files so there's no way of knowing if there's malware or else embedded into these random downloads scattered around the web, plus all of these are one site closure (or DMCA takedown from google) away from being lost media, those that have the possibility of making an archive, backups, maybe a torrent file or else: please do. Preserving the latest A10/A11/A12/A13S1 builds should take priority (imo), keep in mind older custom roms also need these factory images to work in most cases.<br>

: Please, please please upload these ROMs to a thread on XDA and then link back to it here. '''There's no way the mods can verify your torrent link or your direct link.'''  You are also claiming Google will DMCA any reuploads, by that assumption do you not think Google will then also DMCA this wiki for hosting links to the reuploaded material?  I am removing them for now. A moderator will need to go through history and clean up. [[User:Karar|Karar]] ([[User talk:Karar|talk]]) 21:32, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

sorry for that, I should've cleared up where I sourced that stuff from.<br>
The last time I edited the magnet link, it actually came from xda (https://xdaforums.com/t/changes-coming-to-your-pixel-4a.4712085/page-8)<br>
the direct-dl was also a reupload of the ota image that came from there, but I don't think it's necessary to include it in the end, 99% of users will want the factory image.<br>
I never claimed that Google WILL dmca any reuploads, but that it *might*, and from my understanding of it, a magnet link/link to another site can't really be dmca'd, just like a torrent tracker can't be dmca'd, this wiki isn't hosting any of the material, so I don't see how it could cause any sort of trouble.
