Are you using SDK Platform-Tools: r33.0.3?
Yes, ver. 33.0.3-8952118Are you using SDK Platform-Tools: r33.0.3?
If no, there is a link for it in the OP, Prerequisites.
Nope, you didn't download that version of SDK Platform-tools from the link in the OP.
Did you try this yet? If not, do so (or Android Flash Tool).Could I just reflash factory image with Pixel Flasher & tick "Keep data"? Would that be enough to get it to boot?
Win 10 x64
Just setting up Pixel Flasher now.
Yes I did. I literally went to Part I - 2. Prerequisites - SDK Platform-Tools: r33.0.3 (latest version from August 2022) and downloaded it from there.Nope, you didn't download that version of SDK Platform-tools from the link in the OP.
Are you using a Linux or Mac Computer to flash the img?
Go to the OP, Prerequisites • A Computer with the latest SDK Platform-Tools: r33.0.3 installed.
AFAIK, none of the SDK Platform-tool downloaded from that link are ver. 33.0.3-8952118.Yes I did. I literally went to Part I - 2. Prerequisites - SDK Platform-Tools: r33.0.3 (latest version from August 2022) and downloaded it from there.
Just downloaded it again and the version is exactly the same. That extra number is only shown in Pixel Flasher.AFAIK, none of the SDK Platform-tool downloaded from that link are ver. 33.0.3-8952118.
Ok, I was wondering where the extra number came from.Just downloaded it again and the version is exactly the same. That extra number is only shown in Pixel Flasher.
Finally got it back up and running. Thanks a lot. Appreciate the patience![]()
Want to flash magisk patched image. Will this command be correct?Ok, I was wondering where the extra number came from.
You're welcome.
Thanks @Lughnasadh for your suggestion to use Pixel Flasher.![]()
Want to flash magisk patched image. Will this command be correct?
fastboot --slot b flash init_boot magisk_patched.img
--slot b
--slot all
The slot you want to flash doesn`t have to specified?You can flash Magisk in Pixel Flasher.
If you want to flash it mannauly:
fastboot flash init_boot magisk_patched.img (name of the Magisk Patched.img)
Read my <edited> post #214.
You don't need to specify which slot to flash it to as it will flash to your active slot. No need to flash it to your inactive slot.
Thanks again guys and sorry for pestering you @Homeboy76, @LughnasadhYou can flash Magisk in Pixel Flasher.
That should work.
Notes:
- If you are, manully, flashing it and you are currently on slot b you do not need
--slot b
- If you are, manully, flashing it and you don't know what slot you're on use
--slot all
@innit, please accept my apology for the noob/noobie comment. I just noticed you have been a XDA member since 2011.Thanks again guys and sorry for pestering you @Homeboy76, @Lughnasadh
One more question. I still have November firmware on my phone but want to update it to the newest one from January. Can I flash it to both slots or should I stick to only one?We all were noobs/noobies/newbies at some point in time.
No apology needed.![]()
Depends on how you're applying.That's why I am a bit hesitant to unreroot and reroot to 25206, though I am dying to enable 5g again for China telecom.
I'm on the test build and Android 14 DP2, banking apps work but I don't have the certification. I cleaned Play Store and Play Services data...

to verify communication with phone. It should return your phone's serial number.I know what your problem is, I'm trying to be helpful here, but I find it that you are either unwilling or unable to provide the information you're being asked.OK The sdk files that I downloaded are from AUG 2022 version 33.0.3
adb and fastboot are in Windows C: \Platform-Tools
Here are the directory contents
Ok for some reason I can't post the contents of the dir. so adb fastboot files and magisk_patched-25200_OKTza.img are in the Platform-Tools directory. Is that what your asking?
where
commandsI assume you are talking about updating the Magisk version within the Magisk app (via direct install)? If so, Magisk does have the ability to find and patch the init_boot.img. Support for that was added back in March of last year.Ya'll are confusing the heck out of me. Wouldn't 100% be unsuccessful using that link method? As Magisk wants to patch the boot.img and not init_boot.img the Pixel 7 needs?
I would add to it that doing it to both slots assures that the inactive slot does not have anything non stock on it.Ok, can we agree using this method may be the safest method to Return phone to stock:
Use the Android flash tool: select Wipe => Force Flash Partitions => Lock Bootloader.
