With the Pixel 11 series hitting store shelves today, Google has released factory images for all the devices.
There are three builds for each phone:
- CD1A.260618.001.A7
- CD1A.260618.001.C2
- CD1A.260714.001.A9
This is Android 17 (not QPR1) with the August 2026 security patch. Google has not specified which carrier or region each build corresponds to. We’re on A9 in the US (on Google Fi).
These images help you restore a software-damaged phone to the original factory firmware. Google says it is “typically easier and safer to sideload the full OTA image instead,” which are also available today.
Today’s additions confirm that bears are the codename theme this generation:
- Pixel 11: cubs
- Pixel 11 Pro: grizzly
- Pixel 11 Pro XL: kodiak
- Pixel 11 Pro Fold: yogi
As of today, the Pixel 11 series is not eligible for Android 17 QPR1 or QPR2 via the Android Beta Program.
