Back to the Future

OS Patch Level changer for boot and recovery partitions. Flash in TWRP. You can set desired date in filename. Date format: YYYY-MM. For example: backtothefuture-2021-12.zip If there will be no date in the filename, max possible date 2127-12 will be used. If you select a wrong date, then don't reboot, rename the zipfile and flash it again.

If someone wants to know more about why it's not possible to rollback to normal date, here is the official documentation: https://source.android.com/security/keystore/version-binding#hal-changes. Short answer: because all your security keys are cryptographically updated with new os_patch_level date once you boot with "new date" kernel.

So, once you installed a kernel with os_patch_level in future you are doomed to use greater or equal os_patch_level date for all your next kernels. However, full wipe will help.
