Okay, so I tried like 3 different USB hubs and none of the them worked for em, but I'll be damned, when I used a USB A port on a Thunderbolt 4 Dock, it finally worked. It would not work on the Thunderbolt ports, though. Nice find!

You really should consider giving @badabing2003 those logs to see if he can't correct what might've gone wrong and give you a solution -- temporarily until he applies it to the PF program -- and/or doing as I originally suggested and manually flash the Full Factory image. Just because it states that the "data [is] corrupt" doesn't necessarily mean all is lost and you can't correct things and are relegated to only attempting to recover what is stored; it probably could easily mean that one or more of the partitions simply wasn't flashed or applied correctly and that is what has become corrupted. Applying the Full Factory image via flash-all (with "-w" removed) might get things back on track -- as it will re-apply all the partitions once more over any corrupted partitions -- without loss of internal data, apps, and settings.
I earnestly hope you consider it...Good luck!

And in PF, if you select the unpatched boot instead of patched one, then you are practically doing flash_all (script rebuild using platform tools path and device ID to avoid picking up wrong platform tools and flash a specific device (if multiple devices are connected to the PC)

Have to dig out the old HP laptop with win on it. Not having any luck with PureOS.
Does being in the beta program make any new variables? How to get back to stock and start over?
Get back to cheetah-tq1a.221205.011-factory-b144b426.zip Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

beta has no relevance in this.
Going back would require a wipe, if that is ok with you, just follow the usage and flash the image (patched or not, it's up to you)
Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to use pixel flasher.
My P7pro is rooted with verity and verification disabled. But, PF does not recognize my device to be rooted. So, my question is how do I get PF to recognize root and to update + retain root and verity & verification left disabled?

Did you allow root access for "[SharedUID] Shell" (com.android.shell) in Magisk? That's used by PF to detect root.
If you use Magisk Hide you can also set the new package name (not app name) in the PF settings.
@nIsmoAddict
Like @mko000 said. You need to allow root access to shell so that PF can operate as root as it does all its operations over shell.
See the usage in the main thread or Github.

I have tried using PixelFlasher to root the QPR2.1 beta twice now and when it says it has flashed the patched image, the phone boots back up with Magisk still not having root. I don't really have time to troubleshoot it so I'm just going to have to do it manually.
EDIT: Manually fastboot flashing the patched image that PixelFlasher made was successful so it wasn't the image.

I'll get it for you when I get back to my house on Tuesday or so.
Yeah it is a known issue, while using a Macbook you need to use a type-C to USB-A cable(obviously with a hub) on the newer MacBooks.
Just tried to use this and I'm getting boot loop I think ( boots up, shows Google words then shows the G sign in full colours before going sepia and has loading bars then goes blanks and repeats)
Not really sure what I should do now. Any help would me much appreciated!

First step would be to submit a support.zip so dev can look at it.
Yup, already PMed Dev. I did somehow manage to get it into safe mode just now...
PF detects it, just somehow disabled all magisk modules through PF just then too I think....
As @Lughnasadh stated, support.zip would help me investigate.
No need to PM, you can post here, the files are sanitized and don't contain any sensitive information.
I took a look at your logs, nothing stands out, everything looks good.
The only thing I can think of is Magisk Modules.
You should always disable modules (at least the suspect ones)
I never had any issues keeping Systemless hosts and Safetnet Fix enabled, but I can't say the same about other modules you are using.
If you disabled modules, just reboot, and you should be fine.
Report back.
will this work on a t-mobile pixel 7pro?just so im clear this isnt a unlocking and rooting tool correct just a flashing tool?
If the phone is locked by your mobile provider, this tool will not unlock it.
However if you phone is oem / booltloader unlockable, then this tool will help you unlock it, and then root.
Hope that answers your question.

For anyone else looking for the latestadbthat actually works, here are the official links to adb/fastboot 33.0.3:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r33.0.3-windows.zip - Windows
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r33.0.3-darwin.zip - Mac
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r33.0.3-linux.zip - Linux
Google doesn't keep the links to previous versions of adb on the platform-tools page.6Thanks @simplepinoi177 for finding relevant posts.
What I want to add is that, although the initial thought process was to use the alternate slot as a fallback.
Unfortunately that only works with older devices, and does not work for newer ones.
Even for older devices one needs to remove system_other.img from the update image to get it to work.
I have posted about the details, unfortunately I'm not very good at finding my own posts.
The gist of the matter is that, factory images contain system_other which is flashed to the alternate slot's system partition, they contain the optimized dex files which are copied to the active slot after booting to system to save time.
This effectively deems the alternate partition's system unusable.
Removing system_other before flashing theoretically would get around that issue, at a small performance hit at first while the dex files are optimized on first use, and that works on older devices.
I managed to setup Pixel XL with both slots bootable, and alternate between them at will, even one was rooted and the other stock.
Sadly this no longer works on newer devices due to AVB.
Having said all that, I still flash to alternate slot every month, knowing well that it I wouldn't be able to system boot to the alternate slot, I do this mainly because I want to keep all the partitions at most one release behind.
Flashing to both slots makes sure that the bootloader is current on both slots, which avoids issues like what happened in August.
I don't flash to both slots mainly because if there is a regression in the bootloader (I doubt it) or a disruption during flashing, I will have both bootloaders corrupt, effectively hard brick the device.
I rather flash the alternate and in case something goes wrong, at least I can get into boatloader mode and fix things.
There are a lot of posts about all this if you search the forums.6New Release:

@badabing2003 is going to ask you to pull a log and post it here. May as well get a head start and do that so he can see where the issue is -

14New Release:
Feb 12, 2023 v4.8.0 release
- #50 Support for Android 14 Developer Preview for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
- #48 Do not allow patching with hidden Magisk (stub) and adb shell not granted root rights.
- Block using Android Platform Tools version 34.0.0 and display a warning because it has known issues
- Disable Magisk Backup Manager button if root access to adb shell is not granted.

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).
