[badabing2003]

New Release:
Apr 30, 2023 v4.10.0 release

• Added no reboot option, with this option selected, after flashing is completed, the phone will not reboot to system, giving a chance to take other actions before reboot.
• Added built-in file editor, you can now edit the flash script before running, in case you want to customize it (needless to say, should only be used if you know what you're doing)
• Added a button to open an explorer in working directory, useful for people who want full control, perform manual actions by following guides, but using PixelFlasher to do the prep work.
• Made the Firmware and Rom Process buttons, full with text. It wasn't obvious for some.

[badabing2003]

New Release:
May 19, 2023 v5.0.0.1 release

• #75 Bug fix, when device is in bootloader, type error.
• #74 Added Support for Pixel 7a (lynx)
• Configuration option to define the file manager to use on Linux (default: Nautilus)
• Configuration option to define the terminal emulator to use on Linux (default: gnome-terminal).
• Support for additional types of Factory / ROM files.
• Checksum validation of firmware / ROM files (if part of the checksum is in the name, otherwise just display)
• New advanced option, ability to choose the patching method (with recommendations).
• Added Recovery Image patching option.
• Advanced option to enable the use of busybox shell (default off).
• Auto detect firmware / rom with init_boot and use init_boot for creating patches, this way future firmware don't have to be manually added to PixelFlasher.
• Auto detect devices with init_boot and use init_boot for flashing, this way future devices don't have to be manually added to PixelFlasher.
• Auto-popup the detected devices dropdown after a scan, to make it obvious to select that next. (Thanks @pndwal for the idea)
• Show SHA-256 of adb and fastboot binaries, as Google keeps on messing up Android Platform-tools, it's necessary to whitelist / blacklist specific binaries.
• #66, when checking the patched files internal SHA1, provide a confidence rating.
• Check, valdiate and warn if necessary when flashing an image patched with Magisk Zygote64_32, as there are wipe implications, provide links to documentation.
• Added fastbootd testing to Dry Run.
• Added Github actions to build all the targets on Github.
• Code refactoring, bug fixes and improvements

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
May 25, 2023 v5.1.0.0 release

• Support for Android platform tools version 34.0.3, and automatic setting of ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT environment to workaround a regression introduced in version 34.0.3
• Temp workaround to avoid selecting root method patching when Magisk Delta is detected.
• Nicer looking / clearer manual patching dialog.
• When a Pixel device is selected, PixelFlasher now displays additional information about the device's support.
  Things like: Device name, version end date, security update end date, Android version, name, codename, release date, end date.
• Boot image list box now displays the applied PixelFlasher patch method.
• Auto-resize boot image list box columns for better readability.
• Precautionary cleanup up of leftover files on the phone in case root detection software keys on presence of such files.
• #77 added attrict3 to requirements.txt in case it helps with certain builds (it shouldn't be needed).
• Bug fixes and improvements.

Update:
Patch Release:
v5.1.0.1 release

• Exception handling when device is not in the listed Pixel devices.

v5.1.0.2 release

• Skip testing fastbootd in dry run mode if Android platform tools version is > 34, is it no longer supports fastbootd (at least 34.0.3 does not)

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
June 01, 2023 v5.2.0.0 release

• Update build workflows
• Add payload_dumper functionality to PixelFlasher to handle OTA files, thanks to vm03 for sharing source code.
• Added rules engine code to better / easier management of the UI widgets enabling / disabling.
• Auto detect Pixel OTA image and extract boot / init_boot / vbmeta for patching and flashing.
• Add Full OTA mode, which flashes full OTA image, while optionally retaining root, and best of all, for A/B devices, both slots are bootable, you can even have one rooted and one not.

 

[badabing2003]

Bug Fix Release:
June 01, 2023 v5.2.0.1 release

• Bug fix #78 Error when opening a shell console on Linux / Mac

 

[badabing2003]

Update:
June 03, 2003 v5.2.0.2 release

• #76 Get a better build with Github action to support more Linux based platforms (no functionality changes).

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
June 06, 2003 v5.3.0.0 release

• Added Github Action build on Windows 2019 with Python 3.8 to support Windows 7.
• PixelFlasher now supports loading and processing Samsung Firmware (at least my Samsung's ), it would extract AP, BL, CSC, Home_CSC ... and then extract boot.img.lz4 from AP and unpack the lz4.
  When creating a patch from the set boot.img, PixelFlasher will also create boot.tar to be flashed as AP to retain root.
  If there was a way to pre-load odin with the extracted files, flashing could also be automated.
  I know, what does PixelFlasher have anything to do with Samsung firmware? I added it for my own use.

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
June 16, 2003 v5.3.1.2 release

• Set Active slot now automatically reboots to system after setting the slot, unless "No Reboot" option is selected.
• Update Ubuntu 20.04 build to be aligned to the same methods that Ubuntu 22.04 build uses.
• Improve confidence value calculation when comparing compressed sha1 against normal sha1 to account for shift.
• Do not abort when the sha1 comparison confidence value is low, leave the choice to the user.
• Update Windows builds (both) as wxPython wheel path changed, rely on a more persistent URL instead.

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
June 21, 2023 v5.3.2.0 release

• Added support for Pixel tablet (tangorpro).
  For future devices, fixed a bug to auto detect init_boot partition and flash init_boot instead of boot even if the device is newer than the PixelFlasher and is not in PixelFlasher's list.
• Disable Patch buttons if device is not in adb mode.
• Reboot to system after lock / unlock bootloader if No Reboot option is not selected.
• Increase sleep after reboots to various modes to assure that slow devices have time to be detected.
• Updated Readme and screenshots.
• Minor improvements and bug fixes.

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
June 23, 2023 v5.3.3.0 release

• #79 Bug-fix: Package Manager column stays unsorted when filtered.
• Warn users that extract the contents of firmware and use the image inside as firmware, which is no good.
• Warn users of Android Platform-Tools 34.0.3 about potential issues and suggest using 33.0.3
• Package manager bug fixes and improvements.

Is there any problem with the latest kernel?
Is there any solution?
Thanks!
