Ok, 9 to 5 Google may have it listed wrong for T-mobile variant? I tried to adb sideload the P8P AP1A.240505.004 version and it kept failing at about 47% done. Then, I downloaded and tried the AP1A.240505.005 version and it worked! I supposedly have a T-mobile carrier variant phone (traded in P6P back in Nov 2023 for P8P through T-mobile). I don't have the Global P8P, however the "005" May 2024 P8P update worked for me when adb sideloading... in case anyone else is having this same issue with P8P. Note: I downloaded each from the Google Dev site area (first tried "004" version; then had to go with "005" version to get it to work).
