what would cause my Device Certification status in Play Store to not even show up?

I tried the airplane mode safetynet fix steps and no difference. also failing CTS profile in YASNAC

I just rolled back from .210 canary to 209, and on Feb Android and Play System updates. kdragon safetyne fix 2.4 module still installed from previously

edit: changed to displax's safetynet fix and got YASNAC passed, but still zero device certification status showing in play store and apps like Netflix not showing up

edit 2: after repeating the steps enough times it's showing as device certified in play store. still no Netflix app, but I think I'm remembering something about how it does a further check than safetynet and I have to manually update the .apk? gonna go research that one...

edit 3: weird. after some time passing, Netflix starting showing in Play Store search, with update button that would fail 'device not compatible' and THEN eventually showed up in installed apps with pending updates, and update worked. bizarre. but seems I'm all settled then

edit 4: homeboy could you put a note in the OP about how to check Play Integrity - assuming that's what I was still failing until I wasn't

Looks like Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Plus March updates are missing, all the other devices already got their updates.
I'd be curious to know why.

DESCRIPTION As the name suggests this is an application to flash (update) Pixel™ phones (possibly all Google™ made phones/tablets, YMMV.) PixelFlasher at its core is a UI layer (with bells and whistles) on top of adb / fastboot commands, hence...

From another thread : It seems like they are having some issues again, as a Google Support person has told on the chat that the March 2023 update for the Pixel 6 series devices will come on the 20th of March 2023. This from the Kirisakura-Kernel for the Pixel 6/Pro posting.

They didn't seem to detail at the update changelog the difference so it begs the questions:

1. If I (in Canada) waited for the OTA system update - which would it choose for me?

2. What exactly is a fork like this doing? What if I spend my time on Canadian and American networks?

3. What happens next month if there is a single global update? Does that mean the Canada specific changes in the March version got folded into the April update?

Maybe I'm getting old, but the instructions in the first post in this thread are super confusing for me. So so so many options. I've accidentally touched "Upgrade to Android 13" in my notification bar and am now on 008.E1 and root has dropped off (no surprise there). In searching for a way to regain root by patching and flashing, even using PixelFlasher, I'm really scared to try anything in this guide in case I've missed a pre-requisite.

It is ok to be apprehensive about trying something new: ...In searching for a way to regain root by patching and flashing even using PixelFlasher...

My suggestions to you is, start by reading the OP (Original Post): ~ ~ ~ Part II - INSTRUCTIONS ~ ~ ~..., 5. Root/Reroot with Magisk and Pass SafetyNet.

If you have questions about the Root/Reroot instructions, ask them I or other members of XDA will answer them.

If you have questions about the Pixel Flasher app ask them here. @badabing2003 or other members of XDA will answer them.

Agreed, If any part is confusing to anyone, the best way to approach it is ask precise questions regarding the command / part that is causing the confusion, and that helps in identifying areas that could confuse people which could be improved.
Saying the whole thing is confusing, is a dis-service to the guide author, if following a guide is complex, imagine writing it.
You can't imagine all the permutations and different steps people take to arrive to a particular state, anticipating all those and writing a guide that easily provides the details and yet keeps it a simple is a nightmare task.
Kudos to all guide authors who manage to maintain these wonderful guides.

    I today updated my phone months after I figured out that the OTA update with Magisk doesn't work. Before trying to take the next OTA update and bricking my phone again: Does taking the OTA update with Magisk (assuming to deactivate all modules, uninstalling Magisk and to install magisk into the inactive slot) now work?

    Nope.
    In fact even after restoring images it won't do an OTA update at all unless you reboot and thus lose root.
    You need a PC or laptop now.

    No need to double post, besides it is against the forum rules.
    See my answers in the PF thread, I'm not going to repeat them here.
    If you fear that you might not catch the attention of certain people in case they are not too active in the thread you are posting, you can @ them to catch their attention.
    Post back your results, doesn't matter which thread, just make sure it's only one.

    To @Homeboy76 and @Lughnasadh

    Thanks guys for your answers.

    First I tried to flash the other slot but it doesn't worked, corrupted device warning screen was still there.

    Then, I flashed boot.img from april update and rebooted the phone, no more corrupted device warning screen but a prompt from android because of corrupted data asked to wipe data or try again.
    I rebooted device in fastboot and flash the boot.img from may then reboot to android.

    No more corrupted device warning but again the corrupted data message. This time I choosed "try again" and android finally booted up.
    Everythings seems to work properly, root and safetynet fix.

    When the phone boots, back up your data and wipe the phone and set it up or try flashing the other slot.

    Flashing the other slot:

    1. If your phone is rooted, open Magisk and disable all modules then reboot.
    2. Please, verify the flash-all.bat file in the SDK Platform-tools folder has been edited:

      Edit this line in the flash-all.bat file
      fastboot -w update image-oriole-aa9a.999999.999.zip
      Remove the -w to Keep Data.
    3. Rename the attached flash-other.txt file flash-other.bat, put it in the
      SDK Platform-tools folder (the folder with fastboot.exe in it).
    4. Boot the bootloader
      connect the phone to your pc
      open a command prompt on the pc in tge SDK Platform tools folder and type flash-other

    Flash the previous month's boot image (it won't boot but that's ok), then flash the boot image from your current build. That should get rid of the corrupt message.

    SDK Platform-tools Update
    SDK Platform-tools r. 34.0.3, was released May 22, 2023.

    @badabing2003 reported a problem when using it.
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-pro-cheetah-safetynet.4502805/post-88571575

    @Lughnasadh, suggested a fix.
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-pro-cheetah-safetynet.4502805/post-88571601

    @badabing2003, confirmed the suggested fix works.
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-pro-cheetah-safetynet.4502805/post-88571617

    Note: If you use Windows SDK Platform- tools r. 34.0.3. You must set the environment variable.

    I think the same is true if you use Linux SDK Platform-tools r. 34.0.3. You must set the enviroment variable.

    ~ ~ ~ Part II - INSTRUCTIONS ~ ~ ~
    (The Instructions listed below are not steps, they are individual sets of instructions.)
    1. Unlock Bootloader/Return Phone to Stock/Lock Bootloader

      • Unlock Bootloader

        1. This will erase all user data from the device!
        2. Backup your data
        3. Activate Developer Options: Tap Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number 7 times or until you see you are a Developer. Tap back > System > Advanced > Developer Options. Enable OEM Unlock and, USB Debugging.
        4. Boot fastboot mode
        5. Connect the phone to the Computer with USB cord.

        8. Allow the process to complete and then type fastboot reboot at the Command Prompt and press enter.
        9. When your phone reboots disconnect your usb cable.
          Notes: After unlocking your bootloader, you'll see a warning: The bootloader is unlocked and... You will see this warning until, you relock the bootloader.
          Do not relock your bootloader until you have returned the device to Stock.
      • Return Phone to Stock

        1. Backup your data/Internal storage
        2. Use the Android flash tool:
          select Wipe => Force Flash Partitions => Lock Bootloader.
      • Lock Bootloader

        1. If your phone is not 100 percent stock do Return Phone to Stock. If you don't you may brick your phone.

      • Important Note(s):
        1. If you haven't updated your phones Factory image in awhile. It is not necessary to flash all the missed images in succession. Flash the latest Factory image.
        2. If your phone was previously rooted, open Magisk manager and disable all Magisk modules. If you hid the Magisk manager app the default name for the hidden Magisk app is settings.
        3. If you are uncomfortable manually flashing the factory image. Try PixelFlasher by badabing2003.
        4. "Updating Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a devices to Android 13 for the first time

          Warning: The Android 13 update for Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel 6a contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-roll back version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing an Android 13 build on these devices you will not be able to flash and boot older Android 12 builds. For developers who need to develop and test against an Android 12 environment, a special Developer Support Build that contains the bootloader update should be used.

          After taking an Android 13 update and successfully booting the device post update, an Android 12 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updates for more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains an older bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented. If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, the fallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries to boot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the older bootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.

          To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing a Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, or Pixel 6 Pro device with an Android 13 build for the first time, please flash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot"...
        5. If you want to update to the Android 13 Factory image without wiping your phone: Do Flash Factory Image Keep Data (below).
        6. Always verify you have the latest working version of SDK Platform-Tools installed on your computer before installing the Factory Image: Pixel 6 - oriole.
        7. If you get an error while flashing, try one of these options:
          • Change the USB port to a non charging USB port.
          • Change the USB cord.
          • Change Computers.
        8. If you phone bootloops
          • Press the Power button until the phone turns off.
          • Press the Power and Volume Down to boot the bootloader.
          • Open a Command Prompt in the SDK-Platform-tools folder or the folder that has adb.exe in it, and type adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
            then type
          • fastboot Reboot
        9. Backup your data
        10. Download the latest Factory Image: Pixel 6 - oriole to your Computer.
        11. Go to Part II - INSTRUCTIONS => 4. Extract Files from the FactoryImage/Flash boot.img and extract the flash-all.bat file.

    I have modified the OP to make it easier to use. It has been divided into three parts: Information, Instructions, and Other.
    Tip: Read the, entire, Information Part first, then the Instructions for the operation you want to preform i.e., Install Factory image: Read Install/Update Factory Image keep data or wipe data, etc.

    Thank you both @Lughnasadh and @capntrips!

    What's odd is I did reflash my boot image thinking that would fix but it didn't, had to reflash anew from sideload.

    Thanks again for the info

    Yeah, sometimes flashing an old boot image (it will fail to boot) and then flashing a new boot image works. Sometimes sideloading an OTA works. Sometimes just waiting for the next monthly OTA works. It's a crazy thing with this Pixel 6 series and the changes that have come with it.
