Help needed with Pixel 5 (most likely) partition related issue: After I downgraded my Pixel 5 (redfin) from Android 13 to Android 12, the SIM and Wifi has stopped working, no matter whatever rom I try, stock, grapheneOS, Android version 11, 12, 13, 14 beta 3, the wifi and SIM does not work...

Ayup, TL;DR - The phone's network functionality is broken - no signal, data, says IMS isn't registered etc., even though the IMEI number is present. I've managed to fix the issue temporarily by following parts of 5G unlocking threads on XDA - the phone network went back to square one after a...

If I go to Google Store website, I find that in pretty much every region, Google is only selling the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro on their official stores, with the rare exception of Japan and India, where I see that even Pixel 6a is listed. This makes me think that Google is no longer having stock...

Hello everyone! I've refurbished Google Pixel 5 and it seems there is hadware problem with the fingerprint. It can't detect a finger while initial phone setup after factory reset, then fingerprint becomes invisible to any apllication. So my question is, how can I check fingerprint sensor's...

Hello everyone, Since a few weeks I have several issues with my Pixel 5, mostly sensors issues (compass, gyroscope, proximity, etc.) but also some weird system software behaviors. It began mid November when I woke up and realized my phone restarted on its own during the night. Since then I...

For context, I'm using stock Android 13 (rooted) on my Pixel 5, and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to remove preinstalled bloatware apps from the secondary users. To clarify, I'm not talking about apps from the primary admin user (i.e. --user 0 in ADB) or work profiles; I'm talking...

I've rooted a Pixel 5 with Android 13 and Magisk 25.2, but the system partition/directory is not allowing any changes. Specifically, I'm training to systemize an app by having it moved to priv-apps, but I'm getting no space errors. Does anyone know how to allow read/write access to the system...

Hello, I have the strange problem that my Pixel 5 sometimes decides not to find any Wi-Fi networks anymore until I reboot my device. I cannot tell when this occurs, it's quite random. When updating to Android 13 I factory reset my phone and the issue persists. My current build-nr. is...

Haven't checked in for a while. I remember a year or two ago Google introduced a breaking change in an update that meant we could not use Fluid NG to replace the default nav bar at the bottom of the screen. Is this still the case? My phon is not rooted or anything, just stock and on the latest...

Hi, I have hunted around online to find a way to revive my Pixel 5 phone, I very accidently fastboot flashed Pixel 4a firmware onto a Pixel 5 which has triggered the Pixel 5 to lock up into EDL/Qualcomm 9008 mode, I am guessing this is a true hard brick and there are no means of fixing it?

I know this is not the only post in regards to the recent Google Pay and Wallet updates not working on rooted phones, and maybe I missed something, but I don't think I'm the only one who has seemingly tried everything, only for it to do the same thing. What I've tried: Installing Displax's...

Can anyone confirm whether Japan's FeliCa or Osaifu Keitai (NFC-F) work on rooted Pixel 5s bought in America (ie without a Japanese SKU)? I read that the pixel 3 and possibly 4a have the hardware and just need to be rooted, but I was stupid and didn't unlock my my pixel 5's bootloader when I...

is there any issue on buying Pixel from other countries to India. Since Pixel 5 is not officially released in India, the only was Indians can get Pixel 5 is getting one from other countries. Is there any issue in doing so ? Carrier lock, OTA updates, any legal issues (like Pixel 4 and it's...

Hello guys, My scenario: I have to carry around a work phone on top of my normal phone, and I like having next to nothing in my pockets. I'm wondering if there's a way to dual boot or virtual OS my work phone onto my normal Pixel 5. I figure it must be possible since it has dual sim features...

Greetings! Does anyone have a method to completely and permanently turn off the Pixel 5 cell radio, while leaving WiFi and Bluetooth intact? Physical modification/destruction of the chip is also an option, provided that rest of the system is intact. Thank you.

I have a pixel 5 I acquired without a sim card. OEM unlocking is grayed out in dev options. I've been trying for a few days using various methods to attempt to unlock the OEM. The message under OEM unlocking is 'Connect to the internet or contact your carrier.' (when is connected to wifi) What...

Hi all, I encrypted the official lineageos on my Pixel 5 with a pattern and then installed a new version via TWRP. Unfortunately, that does not seem to work with encryption, so now LOS no longer start and TWRP freezes at the logo and no longer asks for the pattern. Is there a way to decrypt the...

When I'm at home by myself I need to use my bluetooth earphones/their built in mic together with live transcribe/speech-to-text a lot (now found under the accessibility menu, because for some reason giving it a home screen icon wasn't acceptable? Ugh), but I also often need to use my phone for...

Today I set up a guest user profile on my P5 as I hadn't done that before. While browsing around I discovered to my surprise that the supposedly Pixel 6 exclusice live wallpaper "Bloom" is installed. Now I'm wondering why it is installed there in the first place, since I definitely never...

I am going to buy a used Pixel 5 tomorrow. I want to quickly confirm if I can root the Pixel 5 given that its already updated to Android 12? And also how do I know if it isnt from Verizon or some network phone as I think I wont be able to root that as well. If any one could please confirm this...

Anyone know of an album art on lockscreen mod? I've been trying to get @Typhus_ mod set up on my Pixel 5 so I can use it but am having issues so was hoping someone could recommend an alternative for album art on the lockscreen.

Hello,I got scammed by ebay...bought a pixel 5 from them showed locked by spectrum.Then I just used adb to unlock it.I wonder can I use att/verizon after this kind of unlock?And did my esim unlock as well? Third question,can att detect that my phone is locked?since I cant find it locked on imei...

Anyone know why there's no lock appearing? I clearly am sending messages with RCS and have chat features enabled. Curious as to why there is no lock. I'm on a Google Pixel 5 running Android 12 Beta 3, and the other person is on a Google Pixel 5 on Android 11.

Hi, I can't tell since when it happened. The phone rings for incoming call, the notification with the "answer" button just appear few seconds afterwards. it is frustrating as sometimes people thinks I'm not going to answer and hangup before I see the answer. My phone was rooted and I decided...

I gave up on rooting a GD1YQ (close to that), the US version of the Pixel 5. I can get an International Pixel 5 (GTT9Q). There are two "gotchas" 1) Is this bootloader unlockable? I tried to get the seller to try the "check OEM Unlock" test. The seller won't touch creating Developer Mode. Feh...

Unlocked P5 doesn't equal rootable P5. Got that. Don't ask how I know... :( Sooooooo... How do I find a P5 with an unlockable BL? And is functional with VZW, ATT, and the other nasties?

Hello guys, Finally the good news (at least for us in Saudi Arabia) Google has activated Volte & 5G on the latest Android 12 beta (May.2021) But i am still waiting for the Vowifi activation If anyone living in different countries can confirm as well Thanks. Update: in Android 12 beta 2 it...

I tried to install Android 12 Developer Preview 3 on my Pixel 5 via OTA Sideload but it failed at 94% with the message 'adb: failed to read command: No error' on cmd and 'Install from ADB completed with status 0' on phone. After this when I try to boot, I get the following message: 'Can't...

A few days ago, I was trying to launch an app from my phone's home screen when it suddenly rebooted itself and downloaded/installed an OTA update, removing root in the process. So it looks like Google just force-restarted it and updated it without my consent! Or, if not that, then I truly must...

if you look at the first Google Pixels promo (the ones that showed both pixels profile shots) the 5 has the slight gap. Seems like its just the way it was designed maybe?

I've posted the question: "Can the Google Store Pixel 5 bootloader be unlocked?" in rooting threads and gotten no reply. The model number is the GD1YQ

Trying to root the Pixel 5 running Android 12 by flashing a magisk-patched boot image results in the phone only booting to fastboot mode ("failed to load/verify boot images") Some users have reported that booting (instead of flashing) the patched boot image works and makes root temporarily...

I need a Pixel 5 to support a hearing aid (support BT5.0 and ASHA protocol). Android 10 or better required. Personally, I need root for Titanium, FX, and GSam Battery Monitor. I assume it's best to buy a brand agnostic phone - source with sane price? I tried searching here for the Pixel 5...

Unfortunately, hearing aid manufacturers often demand at least 10, BT 5.0, and a protocol(?), ASHHA (misspelled I'm sure), related to streaming to hearing aids (alternative is a dongle that far too much beyond managing streaming - Grrr.... All of that means leaving my rooted Samsung S7 with...

Hi all, I seem to be struggling with my usual process of getting root on my Pixel 5. I installed the latest Canary build of the Magisk Manager and patched my base boot.img and then flashed it and the phones goes into an infinite loop. Only way to get out of it is to flash-all.bat (w/out the...

Since the option to install to inactive slot was removed due to a modification by Google, is the only way to install monthly OTA updates to normally install the OTA then re-root with patched boot image?

I currently have the Vibration & Haptics setting "Never Vibrate for Phone Calls" set. The phone does not vibrate when I have regular sound mode on. This is great. When I turn the phone onto Vibrate Mode I still do not get vibration for phone calls. I assume this is because I have "never" vibrate...

Am on Vodafone Ireland. Phone purchased direct from carrier. VF Ireland released this in early November, I think. It wasn't up until the December Pixel update that 5G actually started working and, until this point, Google had 5G support for the network down as pending on their support page...

Has anyone else has issues with their Pixel Bud 2's stay connected to your phone when the buds are in the case and in your pocket/bag. I've had several issues with the Pixel Buds staying connected and dying in my pocket. Anyone else?

I got a new phone and there is an app on my old phone that I've lost the login info to. I'd like to try backing up the app and it's data from the old phone and moving it to the new phone but at least in the app I was trying (Swift Backup) this feature requires root. Is there any way to...

While answering to another question I came to think that it might work to this situation too. So, the adb works? No use to write anything more if it doesn't... Also that app must be signed with testkeys or some other known keys...

Looks like they had amateur hour at google when designing the case for the Pixel 5, and I'm not just talking about the choice to have a fabric case as the only option... As you can see in the picture, the pixel 5 with the official google case doesn't sit properly on the cradle, the opening at...

Woo hoo! Were back!

So I was going to go ahead and order a Pixel 5 but I'm reading on Reddit where several folks are reporting issues where they cannot make calls/texts using known working sim cards. Functionality resumes after reboot and then drops out either quickly after the reboot or at some unknown time. This...
