Did you update your platform tools to the lastest and greatest?

If I'm not mistaken I think you can download it from the Play Store if not I would try Apk mirror but I could be wrong.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] unibombz:
Thanks.

I tried the modded one which worked somewhat well, may have some concerns based on the kernel installed for things like slo-mo etc.

Sucks Gcamera forces you to use GPhotos
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] unibombz:
Thank you. I will have to decide which I like better. AOSP is great and clean, GCamera has some nicer features then the ASOP.

HI, I have search the thread but cant find any info about it. I tried installing the youtube app and also youtube vanced.

Youtube normal installs fine, but it automatically closes straight away.

Vanced manager installs but its stuck in a loop loading the latest available version. I can click install.

Does this happen to anybody else?

Anybody have an idea how to fix it?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sruel3216:

Vanced manager

MicroG

YouTube Vanced

(the above steps does not need stock YouTube installed before hand)

That's my recommendation. I personally used the non-root method (though I am rooted) I had no concerns

You can follow the below steps:

Download YouTube Vanced APK for your Android smartphone [Discontinued]

YouTube Vanced is a popular modded version of YouTube. This page has installation instructions and download links for non-rooted devices.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] koolhoffi:
yeah, I tried that. But the vanced manager wont let me click anything. I mean I can click but nothing happens and the on the vanced youtube install button there is the loading circle and it never finishes and it says "latest version: unavailable"

So I did do a second fresh install. This time the play store was ****ed. Kept on force closing.

Did a quick search but did not find an answer for this.

Using the Web Installer I updated my phone form 11.2.0 to 11.3.2. Everything went fine except for losing root.

I know I need to patch the boot.img using Magisk and then apply that patched file.

However. What is not clear to me is where to get the boot.img from.

Do I grab the most recent stock rom and extract it? Or do I need to grab the stock rom that 11.3.2 is based off of? Or can I grab the boot.img from my phone and patch that?

I still have the original patched boot.img file. "magisk_patched_u9wRY.img"

Can I just use that?

Thanks in advance.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rodentkj:
Thanks. I saw that and I even have that post bookmarked from when I first installed / rooted my Pix 5.

However, this post is related to rooting when coming from stock rom. Which is not my scenario.

I already had 11.2.0 installed and rooted. And updated to 11.3.2 and lost root. I need to understand which boot.img I should use in my particular situation.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rodentkj:
Thanks. This worked.

I pulled the boot.img from the ProtonAOSP 11.3.2 zip file.

Transfered it to phone and patched with Magisk.

Then flash the patched boot .img with ADB.

After reboot, opened Magisk manager and flashed Magisk (Canary).

Rebooted and Root persisted.

OP. It would be really helpful if you put some info in your post regarding root after upgrade.

Thank you for the help.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] unibombz:
Same difference. When you flash / update your ROM, you will lose root. Doesn't matter if you're coming from a stock ROM or a Custom ROM, process remains the same.

12) In your adb folder, one of the files will be called "image-redfin-rd1a.201105.003.c1" and it will be a zip file. Extract the boot.img from that zip file and place it on your phone

13) Download magisk manager and magisk patch the boot.img you've just got from the last step

14) Place the patched boot image back into adb folder

15) "fastboot boot nameofpatchedboot.img"

16) Reboot back into your phone and back into the magisk app. You now have temp root until the next time you reboot the phone

17) Install magisk and use the direct install method
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] unibombz:
Yes, that is the process.

Not sure if it needs to be added to the OP, as flashing from stock or changing custom ROM versions, the process remains the same :)

Dear Developer,

Could you please point me in the right direction on how to edit the radio.img?

I have an edited /wildcard/mcfg_sw.mbn (that enables 5G connection for unlisted countries) that I want to add into the radio.img, and also want to add Chinese and Korean carrier mbn files into the radio.img.

I have been researching the net but have yet to find an answer.

All I hear is that radio.img is a binary image therefore must be decompiled but there are no decompilers I can find.

Seeing your rom zip has a radio.img that's a different file name and file size than the stock's radio.img, you must know how to edit it...please.

It would be better if you could do it yourself but I remember reading somewhere that you're not interested in touching carrier files.

Edit: Carrier specific files may be in vendor.img, not radio.img. so I will need to edit the vendor.img, which also seems to be binary...
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Flashfobia:
I am also interested in changing the mbn file to gain volte and vowifi. Would be awesome if it would be flashable through a radio.img.

Is it still "fastboot oem unlock"? And then just flash the ROM?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] unibombz:
That is correct

<post 126> Assuming you're new to pixel and not new to flashing...

1) Allow OEM unlocking in developer settings

2) Reboot to bootloader (ensure you have the latest ADB installed)

3) "fastboot flashing unlock" and follow instructions to unlock bootloader (this will wipe your phone so make sure to have everything backed up)

4) Back to fastboot

5) continue @ post

As always the process is ....

01. Read the OP

02. read a few posts back

03. success :)
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CrazyGnat:
Dallas, did you end up figuring anything out for this? I am experiencing the same issues: SIM Manager errors frequently and long delays to receive sms. I am able to send out messages without issue and they are received promptly by the recipient.

For anyone else that might be able to assist , here are the steps that I took:

#Phone Setup

#Enable Developer Options

- Launch the Settings application on your phone.

- Tap the About Phone option generally near the bottom of the list.

- Then tap the Build Number option 7 times to enable Developer Mode. You will see a toast message when it is done.

- Now go back to the main Settings screen and you should see a new Developer Options menu you can access.

I found under System > Advanced > Developer Options

- Go in there and enable the USB Debugging mode option.

#Enable OEM Unlocking

- Launch the Settings application on your phone.

- Developer Options

- Allow OEM Unlocking

#PC Setup

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

sudo apt-get install fastboot #this wasn't specified but seemed necessary

#Pixel Fastboot Mode

- Connect Phone to Computer

- Power down the Pixel

- Wait until the device is completely off

- Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time

- When you feel the vibration, let go of these two buttons

- On Computer enter the following commands

fastboot flashing unlock

- Accept warning on phone

#then do this on the computer

fastboot boot /path/to/img/ProtonKernel-pixel5-v1.1.img

#Install ROM throught web installer

Access https://protonaosp.kdrag0n.dev/install/web/ via chromium

selecting non-gapps version

fastboot flashing unlock

- Accept warning on phone

Everything seemed relatively OK after the initial boot other than the SIM Manager Error. I didn't initially insert the sim card, so I assumed it was tied to that, but after inserting the SIM card , clearing cache, rebooting I am still getting it.

The only other issue that I am having is that the camera app that came with this image was available at first, I used it to take one picture to test and then it disappeared from the app list (swipe down from home) as a choice, however, I can see it in the Settings > Apps & Notifications menu.

This was my first attempt at modifying an android phone, so it is entirely possible I screwed up, but if anyone can offer me assistance I would be grateful!

Thank you for the response!

I actually continued looking and came across this github issues that (mostly) solved my issues:

Sim Manager Keeps Crashing · Issue #3 · ProtonAOSP/android_device_google_redbull

pixel 4a 5g Proton-aosp_bramble_11.3.1.zip 9634 9634 E AndroidRuntime: Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Failed to find provider com.google.android.gsf.gservices for user 0; expected to find ...

github.com

I am trying to avoid installing gapps and haven't had any experience with the other stuff (Gcam Services Provider or microG) so I ran the command given:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.euicc

and that resolved the SIM MANAGER ERROR as well as the camera , interestingly enough. Sorry I didn't update sooner, I wanted to test a little to verify it was fixed.

Now the only issue I have is it taking approximately 20 minutes for sms messages to arrive. I may fall back to the gapps version if I can't figure that one out because, while I'd like to go as light as possible on the google services , sms is kind of a big deal for me :LOL:

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ViperPyro:
Caffeine is not baked in, but you can use Caffeinate from the Play Store (free) to do the same thing.

The ROM does not have GUI options, but if you want to set up Magisk/EdXposed then you can use GravityBox [R] to adjust things like that.

Post #101 implies that AVB (Android verified boot) is not implemented in this rom. Does this mean that it's possible to mount /system and modify (add/delete) files in /system/vendor?

Or is it possible for you to provide a userdebug variant of the rom so I can disable verity via adb?

A few dumb questions as a newbie:

1. Is this ROM able to pass SafetyNet without gapps? Is passing with microg possible?

2. Is the safetynet-fix v1.1.1 still required for 11.3.2? My interpretation of some posts up stream is that a permanent fix is now included in the ROM?

I've got 11.3.2 running with Magisk and microg, but am not having any luck passing SafetyNet (fails both basicIntegrity and ctsProfile)...

The official stance is that rooting is not endorsed,

Thanks for this. I have a lot of reading to do since I haven't rooted or bl unlocked in about 4 or 5 years. I need to make sure how to reenable the eSim on Verizon, backup and restore messages and apps, and basically re familiarize myself with the whole process. Bl unlock is not the issue but making sure GPay works is paramount and it seems from initial reading it works out of the box. So thanks again for merging that commit. If anyone has this installed already and has dual sim w/ 5G I'd love to hear about it.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] VivisClone:
for eSIM I found that as long as you do GAPPS it will work, as for messages and apps, the easy way is to make sure you do a google backup, then restore it from that.

GPay is working out of box on the unit, if you need root and want it to pass you might need to do the universal safety fix.

If all you do is install ROM/GAPPS/MAGISK/ADAway you should pass safetynet without issue and be able to use GPay.

Mind you, I'm coming from a Google Store Pixel 5 using Tmobile eSIM. You will need to register the phone with your carrier first, after that it "should" auto find the sim. If it doesn't you might be able to use Verizon eSIM info to get it back. I had to do the equivalent when I tried LineageOS and it didn't find mine. Scanning the QR code was all I needed to do.

The best guide I've found for how to Root your device if you need it as well.

Almost all of the stuff you will need to do is from a laptop using fastboot and adb.

I couldn't get it to work on my win 10 device, so used a linux laptop I had.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobby janow:
That's what I mean I'm out of the loop. Last time I unlocked was on the 5X so that's at least 5 years ago. Time flies. I was under the impression that the rom automatically roots the device but from what you are saying I can just flash the rom and it stays unrooted. I do not need root. Did you erase the eSim before you started? I"m not worried about the physical sim but the eSim is what I'm concerned about since VZW is pretty much clueless. I'm going to read up and take my time on this I don't want to screw this up. Although with bl unlocked recovery should be simple. Maybe.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] VivisClone:
I haven't seen anywhere to opt to delete it or the like. I just Unlock BL then follow the instructions in OP using the web installer. Haven't lost my eSim across 5 flashes of it, 4 flashes of LOS, and 2 Return to stocks.

So anecdotally, shouldn't be an issue.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobby janow:
Yes I get sms on both with the Google messages app by default. If I use Signal only one is allowed I believe. On WhatsApp you can't get both but the workaround is to use business WhatsApp. Is that what you mean?

after flashing the update 11.3.3 via web interface my patched boot.img does not work anymore (bootloader reboots to bootloader instead of system) so I cannot get temp. root for magisk to use "direct install".

So I guess I'll have to update my (patched) boot.img with the corresponding one from the update?!

What is the easiest way to get it? Download the ROM or google image manually?

Update: yes I had to download the zip manually (which took less than 1min btw compared to the web installer).

patched it and it worked.

so for me one more reason why the web installer is useless (FOR ME!!!).

I just don't understand why you are promoting your web installer and at the same time usage of your kernel while those are incompatible.
