vbmeta of SP1A.003 to deactivate verity checks on the custom boot image and most probably to do factory reset, DO IT BEFORE FLASHING THE KERNEL, or it won't boot
You can try to deactivate the vbmeta check before the first booting up right after sideloading the OTA beta 1, maybe that will let you boot without factory reset after vbmeta verify disabling.vbmeta_redfin-sp1a.211105.003.img | by tbalden for Pixel 5

Deactivate, you might need to factory reset if you don't follow the OTA-update/disable-before-first-boot procedure (fastboot -w for factory reset)

Only need to do the disabling when you're after taking an update from adb sideload, before the first boot. So no need to do it again.I have flashed vbmeta with flags disabled and I am rooted so do I need to flash vbmeta with disabled flags again before I use FKM to flash the cleanslate zip?
Ok thanks for the reply and of course for the best Pixel 5 kernel.Only need to do the disabling when you're after taking an update from adb sideload, before the first boot. So no need to do it again.
Would I be able to flash this kernel over Elemental X ? I am currently rooted with Zygisk on Android 11 so I'm not sure if I will lose root if I flash the kernel... Also can somebody please provide me with the steps on how to flash the kernel ? I'm afraid I might mess something up

Requirements
- Unlocked Pixel 5, stock or with magisk root
- From Android S, vbmeta verification must be disabled. Download the stock full firmware for you phone, extract Vbmeta.img and do:
--- In Android S, you might need to do a factory reset when disabling Verity after the system booted before with vbmeta enabled! If it doesn't boot with corruption problem, you need to do a factory reset with 'fastboot -w'Code:fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
--- When updating with next OTA on Android S, I recommend to 'adb sideload ota.zip' and then BEFORE booting, go to Bootloader and with latest Vbmeta.img, make sure to switch off verity again with fastboot flashing vbmeta again, and boot only after that. That way factory reset won't be necessary it seems by experience so far.
- BACKUP: make sure you have a stock image downloaded (boot img) from Google (https://developers.google.com/android/images) before installing this!
Installation Guide
Firstly install CleanSlate configuration and CleanSlate companion apps on your phone (both found down below in Download section). Set them up initially.
- Non-rooted method: 0. download the non-rooted boot img
1. reboot to bootloader (adb reboot-bootloader)
2. temporary boot cleanslate_x.y.z_stock_20xx-xx-xx.img (fastboot boot cleanslate.......img)
3. if everything went fine, you can reboot to bootloader and flash the image: fastboot flash boot cleanslate.......img
4. reboot, enjoy
- Rooted method: 0. download the boot.img
1. install magisk
2. patch the provided boot image
3. use fastboot boot/flash boot to test and then fully flash it, then enjoy
- For SafetyNet, Adblocking, after flashing you might need to restart the phone after the first boot, otherwise it might not work.
- If using Companion App for notification / gesture etc features, there's a setting in the app to Switch off Proximity sensor while Screen is on. This will prevent the flickering, but Face down screen off feature won't work
Known bugs
- None, please tell
- please disable magisk modules before reporting issues, and please provide logs if possible
- if it cannot boot at all after flash because of signature verification, read vbmeta requirements (Android S)

Thanks can you do version without safetynet for us using kdrag0n mod?- Update Android SP1A Stable A12 - 2.8.9 -Android S stable images update
- All features work, except SafetyNet CTS passing, only Basic Integrity
- Kernel 4.19.191, Oct sec level image
You can use kdrag0n mod right away, it's supposedly going to work with this kernelThanks can you do version without safetynet for us using kdrag0n mod?
Also way to update our own host files for adaway?
I use kdrag0n 2.2.0 (latest paid version) with zygisk and CTS profile failed. With patched stock kernel it passed.You can use kdrag0n mod right away, it's supposedly going to work with this kernel
Own host file is not possible without security compromises, so I avoid that in the kernel. For that you can switch off kernel based ad block and use some magisk based solution.
I'm looking into this, to make it work with kdragons module so that with magisk it could work together and pass it. The kernel in itself on a12 won't work like it worked on a11 standalone passing the CTS.How do we get this to pass CTS? Just wiped and flashed 2.8.10 with Android 12 Stock image and vbmeta verification disabled.
Can't use Google Pay or even download Netflix off play store..
Cheers, Sandy
Thanks mate! Looking forward to it.I'm looking into this, to make it work with kdragons module so that with magisk it could work together and pass it. The kernel in itself on a12 won't work like it worked on a11 standalone passing the CTS.
On a12 I see no way yet to make that kernel only, so unfortunately magisk and kdragons module will be needed. I'll release a test build to see if it works together that way in a few days.
