Start with checkpoint.txt and image_info.txt, then run the comparison script in the issue against the factory images page to reproduce the missing January entries and generic Android 17 matches. Inspect the pixel_verification path mentioned in the report. Done means the January images are represented and Android 17 entries use fingerprints that verify correctly for their device images.

Descripción

The Pixel log has no entries for the January 2026 release. The factory images page lists 29 images for BP4A.260105.004 (.E1, .A2, .B2, .C2) across 15 devices, and none of them are in image_info.txt at tree size 1109. December 2025 and February 2026 builds are there. To rule out a naming difference I computed the VBMeta digest of tokay-bp4a.260105.004.e1 with avbtool calculate_vbmeta_digest: b1eca34c41d308c91abcea66cf5852814cd526020041a590bd7f865aaa0900b6. It doesn't appear in the log under any fingerprint.

Separately, Android 17 builds are logged under the system partition's fingerprint. Entry 1073 is google/generic_system_google/generic:17/CP2A.260705.006/15641320:user/release-keys with digest c93d26cf284f3c3ba9301fd331b6129a8399ba44242aab9068690732239d2d26, which is tokay's image. That image's OTA metadata (post-build) and every other fingerprint property in its vbmeta say google/tokay/tokay:17/CP2A.260705.006/15641320:user/release-keys. With the same digest, the verifier returns OK for the generic fingerprint and FAILURE for the device one, so a payload built from what the phone reports won't verify. The grep on system.img in pixel_verification still finds the generic line, so the manual path works. It applies to all 103 Android 17 images from the factory page that are in the log.

The script lists every factory zip on developers.google.com/android/images and looks up each (device, build) in image_info.txt, after checking the entry count against the checkpoint. It also prints the September 2026 images (CP3A.260905.009 for 21 devices and CD1A.260905.001.B1 for cubs, grizzly, kodiak and yogi); image_info.txt was last modified on August 21, so those may just be lag.
