  3.  The next step is to switch off your Pixel. Now press the Volume Down and Power buttons together and then bootloader menu will appear on your phone.
  4. You can manage the options with the Volume buttons. Now tap on ‘Recovery mode’ and then tap on Power button and select TWRP recovery.

  6. Now on the top left of the screen, you will see an option of Install. Hit on that option to install OTA.
