I installed #Android12 on my #GooglePixel 3a yesterday and experienced some problems:
1) After installing the update, the lock screen crashes immediately after loading. So, as soon as I enter the SIM-PIN, the phone tries to reload the lock screen every few seconds

3) After booting, step 1 and 2 repeat
4) The phone asks me to perform a hard reset (System couldn't be loaded)

5) I tried to install (adb sideload) the OTA image via ADB in recovery mode, but that didn't help (developers.google.com/android/ota)

7) Finally, I performed a hard reset of my phone, which deleted all of my data

8) I managed to recover my apps and settings from a recent (the morning of that day) online backup, which left me with a working Pixel 3a running Android 12 ...until I tried to use the lock screen for the first time

9) Repeat steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8
Note: I also tried not using the backup, and the lock screen worked again, but that wasn't a solution, so I continued on my journey to get my phone to work again

10) In the end, I had to resort to reflashing the Android 11 factory image using the official website (flash.android.com/welcome)
Note: I also tried this with the Android 12 image, but I ran into the same issues as before

The website didn't work under Windows, by the way, because it couldn't find my phone after rebooting to fastboot (first reboot in the process).
So, I used Linux (Ubuntu 21.10 in my case) for step 10.

11) I also sideloaded the latest Android 11 security patch after reflashing (see step 5 for details)
12) I also disabled automatic updates in the developer options afterwards to prevent any additional data loss until a patch is released.

How does Twitter work again? I think those messages are supposed to be short, so let me quickly mention the official Google accounts in hope for some attention to my problem: @Google @GoogleDE
