Tried to give command ramdonly and now after a

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

with the original factory june boot.img and now the phone correctly booted but i'm not rooted of course.

What happen if i try to

fastboot boot boot.img

with the modded boot.img? If something fail, should i be able to boot normally anyway?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
If you up and running with the unmodded boot.img simply reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash modified boot.img. Then you should be rooted again and good to go.

Also, ensure you are using the modded June boot.img. If not problems will arise.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
No way.

If i try

fastboot boot boot.img

to try with patched boot without flashing it permanently, phone won't start.

I also tried to patch it myself too. Same result.

Without a working TWRP that's a mess.

Anyone here rooted with the latest june update?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
No way? I don't understand. I am running June OTA with modified boot.img and root. Don't believe me? Check the screenshots.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
No way it means "to me".

I really don't know what to do. Now phone is working. If i try to flash temporary the modified boot image, it won't start. adb / fastboot of course are updated.

Now i can only try to flash permanently modified boot.img and see what happens. I've no any other idea.

btw, how did you get the dark theme?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Swift dark app. It's the best

Now I understand, your trying to temporarily root? I can't help with that. I only know how to permanently root. Sorry for the confusion.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Followed the instructions in post #105 and have successfully updated with root, only extra step I had to do was to first flash the stock boot image as I got an error," failed to verify package compatibility result 1" after sideloading the update,I flashed the patched boot image to slot b and everything is working :good:
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
So, modified boot.img should be flashed with fastboot to slot b?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
[MENTION=5684249]Fentadroid[/MENTION] Yeah so your fastboot command will be fastboot flash boot_b <name of image > .img

You can check which partition is active with the command fastboot getvar current-slot
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
even if now when in fastboot mode on command

fastboot getvar current-slot

i get "a"?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Have you successfully applied the update ? I may have to read more about your situation as I followed the instructions to apply the update and keep root etc untouched

Having read more about your situation, does your phone boot at all now ? if it doesn't then I think you might have to flash the factory images and start again
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
Actually my phone does boot at all, run perfectly. But i'm unable to flash the patched boot. If I do that, the system won't boot and tell me that could be corrupted asking me to retry or factory reset.

It doesn't work fastboot flash boot boot.img or boot_a boot.img.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Have you downloaded the correct boot img? That or your download is corrupted so try to download a fresh copy, not sure if I can be of any help sorry.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] appro77:
Does this thread and the patched boot.img file apply to the XL as well?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] :
3a only I believe.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] appro77:
Thanks. I thought I'd check because my XL build number is identical. Haven't rooted for a while and am a bit nervous.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If its identical im not sure then. Wait for someone more knowledgable.im pretty sure its 3a only though or i think a point would have been made that its for both.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] appro77:
No worries. Thanks. I'll sit on my hands for now. :)
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] :
But the XL does have a dirty unicorns build already. So you can use that if you cant wait to root stock.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Try it and see if it boots. This would be very helpful to know. If it doesn't work I can hook you up with a modded img of the xl. I'll make it.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] zonedgold:
Hello again.

You mentioned that we need to fastboot stock kernel if we want to sideload the OTA. Question, where can I find the stock kernel? And what would be the command line to flash it?

Who knew updating the phone and updating elementalX would be this complicated...

We need a step by step tutorial please.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Just flash the June boot.img provided in the first post.

The command is: fastboot flash file_name

Then reboot to adb and sideload the OTA

Then let the phone reboot

Then reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash the modded boot.img again

Then reboot rooted device

Then download new ex kernel

Then using ex app use the flash feature inside the app

Reboot

Done

10 minutes. No problem.

If you need more let me know.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] zonedgold:
edit might work

well that was quite the adventure...

I didnt know about the button combo for the recovery to enter and apply the OTA update. Once I was able to apply the OTA I was able to reboot and once again apply the june image. After that I was able to do the elemental kernel / magisk etc. Thank you for the quick quide.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
I'm glad it worked. And you learned something. A good night all around
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] appro77:
I've followed the instructions and flashed the modified boot image for my 3a XL but the phone still doesn't seem to be rooted. Root checking apps are telling me it isn't rooted. What have I missed?? Any help is appreciated.

Edit: I'm an idiot. I didn't do the Magisk step. All good now. Rooted!
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
That is exactly what i did and after that:

C:\Users\Daniele\Downloads\sargo-pq3b.190605.006>fastboot flash boot Patched_PQ3B.190605.006-boot.img
Sending 'boot_b' (29124 KB) OKAY [ 0.747s]
Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.218s]
Finished. Total time: 1.233s

that is what i got after reboot:

Even if i hit "Try Again" many time, phone won't start.

I needed to flash again original boot.img on _a and _b slot and flash again the OTA update to get my phone back.

Honestly, i don't know what to try to root again.

Edit: i tried even with the 19.3 beta version of Magisk to patch the boot.img, same result.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] R0BiN0705:
is anybody else having problems with captive portals? I've flashed the factory image and then the boot image twice now but as soon as I setup magisk I cant connect to wifi networks which use a captive portal. I keep getting the message "CaptivePortalLogin keeps stopping"
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79669242&postcount=33889

I suggest you to wait to upgrade if you want to be sure to have root again once updated to june security update.

Magisk Manager has bugs and it doesn't correctly patch the boot.img
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Wonder what triggers the bug ? plenty have successfully updated, I did not actually unroot, I just flashed the stock boot image, adb sideloaded, rebooted to bootloader, flashed the june patched boot image,rebooted and everything works,
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
Where did you get the june patched image?

Honestly i don't know what to think....
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
redownload it and try again, i just updated it to a newer canary build
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Did you try downloading again as the errors you were getting in recovery suggested a corrupted file ?

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Is it different to the previous version ? dont know exactly which one I used if you have updated ?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
i updated it a min or two before i made that post. if you are already rooted you can just update from inside of the magisk manager(direct install), no need to flash the updated boot image.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Sorry now see what you mean, I dont need to flash the boot image to update magisk
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
to initially get root on the phone you need the patched image. but once you have root you can just have magisk update itself. open the manager and click update(install in this pic)

[IMG="magisk"]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399670410565910529/585890317996392448/Screenshot_20190605-135830.png[/IMG]

then click the install button on the popup that shows up. then click the direct install option like in this pic

[IMG="magisk2"]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399670410565910529/585890317459259393/Screenshot_20190605-135838.png[/IMG]

it will then update your magisk and ask for a reboot.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
I didnt think it would boot after applying the june ota with the old boot image which is why I fastboot flashed the new june one
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
You did the correct thing. There will be security patch level issues if you don't update to the current boot.img.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bombadier:
Maybe I need to lay off the liquor and weed,

I wanted to update to the ota and keep root so I followed the instructions,I had to flash the unpatched boot image to get the OTA sideloaded, I then rebooted to the bootloader from recovery and fastboot flashed the June patched img, my phone rebooted and root/ magisk/banking apps everything was as before, I have been reading about people having problems trying to do this, that way worked for me.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:
Hi, first of all, thanks a lot.

But for me : everything went well, no fail in powershel, but after the reboot and the configuration of the phone, I do not see magisk manager ... I flashed the file pd2a.190115.032, that matches with my build number...

Can you tell me where I could have been wrong?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
try installing the manager separately https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/app-debug.apk
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:
Thanks mate... It says that Magisk is not installed...
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
what command did you use when you flashed it?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:
fastboot flash boot "whatever the boot.img is named"... with the name of my boot.img
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
i would try again. do the command to get the active slot and add that onto the end
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] HighDesertTrekker:
I am in the same situation I was able to sideload the OTA but if I flash the patched boot it falls back to the corruption recovery screen. Nonpatched boot.img reflashed and it works fine again. Did you ever figure anything out? I miss TWRP.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:
This one : fastboot getvar current-slot ?

and then that one : fastboot flash boot_a boot.img.... with a or b ?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
correct
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:
It won't boot now, it stays in fastboot mode...

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:

yup thats march
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:

It's ok whith this command : fastboot flash boot_a
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
since you are on the march update still it should be slot a so using boot_a should be the one that works
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dj-alejandro34:

I try to unlock my phone with Xiaomi MiToolV2 and flashing Xiaomi.EU. I case of some strange behaviors i did not work. The tool try to reboot to TWRP (it flaehd it) and i comes to this small Menu when you start to unlock your phone.

After that i recognize that i dont want TWRP - but i cant found a way back. All Tuts are writing about do that with "Twrp", but all of that are encrypted and im a little bit nooby.

So. I read a lot and find MiFlash 2018.11.15.0 and the Stock Roms (Dev and Full Stock). I try to flash my system, but nothing happens the flasher runs 800 Seconds and wont end with flashing.

Try to change your GPS antenna, My unit came with a cheap antenna, I bought a new one by Amazon: same quality and GPS doesn't work.

Buy a best quality GPS antenna and moreover, update your ROM and MCU with the latest available (official files here: https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr)

You should fix the issues.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Entity 0:
I've been pondering buying a replacement GPS module instead of using the stock one that came with my head unit. What improvements did the new antenna provide for you?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] giangel84:
Simply: The new antenna work properly, the old antenna did not! :D

I think the issue was simply the bad quality of the product, like cold solder, bad cable or poor antenna inside the plastic case. Once I changed the antenna, the GPS get satellites fastly and it fix the position very well. Pay attention while mounting it...I understood that sun, too warm, cable pulled/mashed/spoiled, make the antenna working bad. My antenna is now mounted and totally hidden inside the right pillar, and it works so good as it fix the position almost instantly after power up. Pay a bit more for a better antenna, those selled by "Pumpkin" are excellent and cheaps!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] chewybits95:
May I ask what antenna you bought to make your GPS instantly lock onto satellites? I bought a new one but it's been more or less the same results, which are very minimal results lol.

Also keep it mounted on my dashboard with a magnetic mount. Do you think that could affect anything with the signal?

Hi all, a few minutes ago I tried to roll back from Q beta to P, so I followed the essential's official instructions, that I found on their site, and I unlocked bootloader and critical. Then I downloaded the latest official Pie release but I could't install it via flashall.bat file, becuause I got stucked on sending 'nvdef_a'. So after this failed attempt i tried to relock the bootloader via fastboot flashing lock command but nothing happened. I then tried to do a fastboot devices and my device was connected, so I don't know why it didn't work. Should I relock critical first?

And do you know why I couldn't flash the original firmware? I was thinking of removing the '_a' commands in the flashall.bat, since i'm currently on partition _b, but i'm afraid of bricking the phone.

secondly it wouldn't hurt to security unlock your self using jockyw's security unlocker this will keep you safe from flashing a radio that locks itself to your device hence disallowing you to upgrade or downgrade from it

thirdly that radio is for wm6.1 roms only so make sure you have a wm6.1 rom before you flash it. If you have wm6 rom than you need to look for a wm6 radio.

hope this helps,

So then you want find radio 1.27.14.32. And Flash it your phone.

"normaly" I'm not sure what you mean. GSM? Just make sure you have a Working Radio Flashed to your phone and is should "work."
