Hi all,

I am currently running November 2022 update on my Google Pixel 6 Pro. When updating to December Feature Update, do we flash both slots?

Thanks in advance.

You can just flash to Inactive slot and you should be fine

Hi

First of all thanks for the great job you are doing with this tool.

My question:

I have unlocked bootloader, root with magisk with modules and I'm in the beta program.

Is there any way to update without losing data?

Thank you very much for your help!!

I updated just fine last time with PF (Nov. update) but I can't remember 1 thing now......do I un-zip the update file into the platform tools folder to be recognized or is just having it on my windows desktop along with platform tools ok?

So after applying the last update, I'm getting into Bootloop. Any ideas are very welcome. I'm trying to disable the magisk modules without success.

I updated just fine last time with PF (Nov. update) but I can't remember 1 thing now......do I un-zip the update file into the platform tools folder to be recognized or is just having it on my windows desktop along with platform tools ok?

Neither, just download the update using the link in PF, process the download, patch the bootloader, hit the checkbox for "flash to empty slot" then hit the big button (I think it says flash device or something like that), wait until it finishes and that's it.

Well I had been downloading it separately before going to PF, which is why the question. You're right that since it offers to download it for you.....can't get any simpler than that!

You can always download it yourself if you want and then just select the file wherever you downloaded it to. Same difference, Pixel Flasher just made it idiot proof.

Thank you for this application that has allowed me to flash the latest official Pixel ROM. However, I still can't solve the connection to 5G in my country, Chile. Most phones at this price and feature level can access 5G on the n78 band. I have a Xiaomi 12 pro and it works great on that band.
Google's response is "5G is only available in the countries and carriers listed at https://pixel.withgoogle.com/5G/". Undoubtedly an answer with very little commercial sense.
I will appreciate your help on how to resolve this situation, be it with a Google ROM or another that has a good reputation.

greetings and thanks in advance

Honestly I have no clue and I wouldn't want to give you wrong advice as I'm totally clueless about this.

Search in your device's ROMs for 1 that is close to a stock pixel ROM like Pixel Experience and see if it is 5G enabled. I have no idea how you flashed a pixel build on your Xiaomi device which does not have the hardware to flash a stock official google build. I'm pretty certain you would fry your phone.

I have just decided to purchase a Pixel 5. I won't go into my reasons for this choice, because they are irrelevant to the question I'm about to ask, and in any case, they may even be deemed to be off topic in this thread.

I have searched and read through this and other threads for information concerning what I am about to ask. I have found somewhat contradictory discussions among all of those postings, and this is why I decided to ask the following question here.

I plan to use PixelFlasher to root this Pixel 5 via Magisk so that I can also use LSposed. I'm wondering whether anyone who has successfully done this on the Pixel 5 using PixelFlasher could recommend which of the current versions of Magisk worked the best for them for this purpose.

The Pixel 5 I ordered is new, and if I'm not mistaken, it will come with the factory version of Android 11. Unless someone suggests otherwise, I will stay with Android 11.

All of the rooting/modding work I plan to do will be performed via PixelFlasher, and I'm looking for advice about which Magisk version someone has successfully installed on a Pixel 5 using PixelFlasher. However, if this post is nonetheless deemed to be off topic, I apologize in advance, and I then would be glad to take this discussion to private messages or elsewhere.

Thank you very much.

Use latest 25.2 I would suggest. I don't own a pixel 5 but a pix 6 pro. No idea why you wouldn't install latest version. Unless there are issues with 25.2 for the pixel 5, then I suggest just asking in the Magisk thread or the pixel 5 forums.

I tried flashing the December update to my rooted unlocked Pixel 7 Pro. I now have a bootloop (in both slots looks like). Am I screwed? I had magisk modules disabled and followed the instructions to a T as far as I can tell. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Edit: my SSD was out of space apparently. Cleared some space and ran PixelFlasher again and the phone booted without data loss. Phew. Close call.

Pixel 7 arrived yesterday, successfully flashed and rooted with PF, amazing tool @badabing2003

It was not without difficulties however!

My first attempt was on my Macbook Pro 14 inch, 2021 M1, running 12.0.1. PF ran fine, phone detected in both ADB and FB mode, downloaded and patched the image fine.

When flashing (full wipe) however, PF crashes after any reboot. It's like my phone isn't detected again after reboot, and PF is left waiting. Tried starting in ADB and FB, same result. I think I am unable to get any logs as the app crashes.

I then tried on my PC with the exact same steps, and it was flawless! If you need someone to help test with my Mac setup, let me know, would be happy to help and enjoy the convenience of using my laptop.

Snatched myself a Pixel 7 Pro during the Canada (pre)-black friday sale and decided to give this tool a spin. Works flawless and painfully. Few days later, the December patch dropped and I initially had reservations updating a rooted phone. However, updating was just the same as downloading the newly released factory image, extracting and patching boot_img, and pressing the flash button. No issues reported so far from me.

Why go back to manual? This is a lifesaver.
