Google temporarily stops Android 15 DP1 downloads amid device corruption bug

Last week, Google rolled out the first developer preview of its next version operating system – Android 15, and the firm now temporarily stopped DP1 downloads amid a device corruption bug. However, this news may disappoint users who were all set to try the new offerings.

According to the details, Google states on its Android Developers page that we’ve temporarily disabled downloads for Android 15 DP1 OTA images. The reason for this abrupt pause happens to be a known issue that shows a Device is corrupted message, which occurs when sideloading OTA images.

However, an issue with sideloading the Developer Preview 1 build can sometimes cause users in trouble, so to maintain reliability, Google pauses the downloads of Android 15 first developer preview until the firm can further troubleshoot the issue.

To work around this issue, Google recommends developers flash a factory image to test devices instead. Simultaneously, this news primarily impacts developers, as this is an early build, and probably not even that much since developers would probably end up flashing their devices anyway.

However, currently, there’s no information available on when the issue will be resolved and downloads will resume, so all you can do is wait, because it’s better to be late than corrupted.
