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

Hi,
Did you test any update or rom flashing on Pixel 6 with the rev. 34.0.3 ?
I'm asking because with the rev. 34.0.1, I already had to set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT as an environment variable but flashing the rom was still failing.

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.

    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
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    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.
