PixelFlasher 4.0.0 pre-release:
Sep 25, 2022 v4.0.0 pre-release

• New Feature: On supported devices, where device is not yet rooted (or adb shell su not allowed), an option to control the Magisk Manager GUI (drive UI) to programmatically control the app through UIAutomator and create a patched boot.img
  See Patching flow chart for details.
• New Feature: Detect if Magisk Manager is at a higher version than installed Magisk, warn the user of a potential rare corner case and offer a choice of patching method.
• New Feature: Temporary Root, when flashing if you choose this option, the phone will be flashed with unpatched boot.img, but Live boot to patched boot.img to provide a temporary root.
• New Feature: Warn the user to flash both bootloader slots if their device is a Tensor device (Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 Pro), if current version of OS is lower than Android 13.
• New Feature: Flash to inactive slot. Unlike OTA flashing factory image flashing is always done on the current active slot, with this option selected, PixelFlasher will write to inactive slot. This allows one to revert to current working state in case anything goes wrong. This feature combined with Temporary Flash provides best method to test a new firmware without risking losing current working setup.
  Note: You should avoid this option if you are on a Tensor device and are upgrading from Android 12 to Android 13 (see the previous feature).
• New Feature: Detect and operate on devices that are in Sideload or Recovery mode.
• New spinner to indicate PixelFlasher activity.
• Renamed Reload button to Scan, to better reflect the button's function. After a scan print the count of devices found.
• PixelFlasher previously used MD5 to uniquely identify boot images (patched or otherwise), with version 4.0.0 PixelFlasher now uses SHA1 instead of MD5.
  This has no bearing on the functionality, it just better aligns with Magisk way of identifying and tagging boot images.
• PixelFlasher now extracts the embedded SHA1 of a Magisk Patched images (only available in newer devices) and assures that it matches the source boot.img's SHA1.
  This is just an extra validation.
• Code cleanup / refactoring, adding more validations and exception handling.
• Print debug details when encountering non compliant Magisk modules.
• Firmware link now takes you to the device's download page instead of just the general download page.
• To better reflect the file details, transferred and stored boot.img files are now suffixed by their shortened SHA1, while magisk_patched.img files are now suffixed by shortened SHA1 of their source boot.img.
• Allow sideload even if bootloader is locked.

New Release:
Oct 03, 2022 v4.1.0 release

• Patching is now fully automatic with or without root.
  PixelFlasher uses installed Magisk Manager binaries to create a patch (root binaries are only used if Magisk Manager is not available / accessible)
  UIAutomator no longer necessary, neither asking the user to manually patch and click ok when done.
• Added an option to set a hidden Magisk package name so that PixelFlasher can find the Magisk and use it, the user still has a choice to use root binaries.
• Speed improvements for device property reading.
• Speed improvements for Magisk modules reading.

 

[badabing2003]

• NOTICE:
  I'm marking version 4.1.0 release as pre-release because I just found out that unzip is not normally available on the phone, which this new patching mechanism uses.
  On my test phones they were available.
  Unless you have unzip on your phone, you should avoid using this version.
  Sorry about this oversight.

 

[badabing2003]

Update Release:
Oct 03, 2022 v4.1.1. release

• Bug Fix: Bundle busybox with PixelFlasher to be used for unzipping Magisk.
• Bug Fix #25, use the Magisk Manager version number instead of Rooted Magisk version number.
• Cosmetic changes and a bit more logging.

 

[badabing2003]

Update Release:
Oct 04, 2022 v4.1.2 release

• include busybox binaries for different Android architectures (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86)
• don't use hidden Magisk for patching, as it is a stub only.

For some odd reason, this version isn't detecting Magisk Manager, which I don't have hidden or renamed. Last version I used (latest as of September update) worked fine.

I'm using Canary 25303.

Thanks

[badabing2003]

New Release:
Oct 15, 2022 v4.3.0 release

• New: You can now download and install alpha and delta Magisk versions in addition to the official stable, beta, canary and debug versions.
• Bug fix: Generating support.zip file was modifying the main db file unnecessarily.
• Bug fix: When patching with Magisk Manager the version of Magisk Manager was not being displayed in the boot images table.
• Bug fix: MacOS downloaded Magisk had space in the file path, which was causing failed installation.

 

[badabing2003]

Oct 16, 2022 v4.3.0.1 release

• Bug fix: #30 Error during firmware processing file extraction phase.
• PixelFlasher-Linux is now labeled PixelFlasher-Ubuntu (It is built on Ubuntu which is not compatible with all Linux flavors. Even though PixelFlasher-Kali is more compatible, it is still not a one size fits all solution.)

 

[badabing2003]

New Release:
Nov 09, 2022 v4.4.0 release

• New feature: Font and Font size should be configurable by the user #33
• New feature: Added WiFi-ADB connect / disconnect button. Left click to connect, Right click to disconnect.
  Handy to access a device remotely.
  Note: This only works in adb mode, so no fastboot or flashing features work for remote devices, but for patching / installing apks, managing Magisk modules it works well (basically anything that is done in adb).
  I personally use this to test patching on remote devices, and also use it to access / install apps to my watch.
• Ground work for future features: Get installed Package list, and list which are disabled, enable / disable / uninstall apps. (Will be available in future release).
• Move Flash Option Flash to inactive slot to Basic mode from Advanced mode..
• Minor UI Improvements
• If Magisk does not create a backup attempt to trigger Magisk to create one.
• Update readme to include Pixel 7 / 7P specific info.

Hi.

PIxel Flasher for Mac 4.6.1.0 - MacBook Air M1 - MOnterey 12.6.2 - Pixel 5 on Android 13

If PixelFlasher becomes unresponsive (as per Actvity Manager and Force Quit dialog) during the upgrade process am I in big trouble?

Screengrab attached. Phone is in Fastboot mode

Edit: It has been stuck for about 15 minutes

Unfortunately this is a MAC issue with fastbootd mode.
See the discussion here. read subsequent posts to get an idea and what to do assuming that you can do something about it.
