Actually, your instructions were spot on until I flashed the patched boot. I use swift theme from the playstore that installs a module to give root to theme. When I flashed the patched boot without disabling the module related to the theme, it caused a bootloop and black screen. When I reflashed the stock image I became unrooted but flashbooted twrp to gain access to the folder containing the modules, tried to delete modules as instructed from another source, rebooted and deleted magisk and tried to start over with no avail. I pretty much wiped to keep from having to go back through the a**pain of having to flash a bunch of crap. I had a good backup and usually wipe and start fresh every few months anyway. So the wiping was on me, but I personally will disable modules from now on just in case. It takes 3 seconds to disable a module but 10 minutes to flash a fresh image. I like easy, but that's just me. And thanks for the help in update as it was pretty cut and dry unlike a lot of other threads
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Very sorry about the bootloop, even with a backup and knowing it's just part of tinkering, still stinks.

I'll go and edit my post to say to disable the modules before-hand, thanks for posting back in here with the results to help others (and myself).

Can you link me to the Swift you're using? Is this for Android 11 Pixel 5? Or another device? I remember using Swift theme back on Nougat and it was the best.

But I love to be able to help others. This thread is great. @Az Biker did a wonderful job starting this thread, and it has helped me as well!

This being my first Pixel device, I still had to search to find update instructions.

I remembered hearing stories about how everyone kind of has their own method, some even prefer sideloading the OTA if understand correctly.

But disabling the modules, and a quick reboot takes nearly no time at all, like you mentioned, especially compared to re-flashing fresh factory image.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] donlu30:
It's all good bro. I used to wipe 3-4 times a day back in the day when I had the moto razr and the HTC m8 flashing all the time when it was easy and you didn't need a computer!

Yes, swift installer is what I use and it is pretty seamless, without the need for the substratum app. I would definitely check it out and purchase if you like it.

My Pixel 5 is rooted with magisk23 and I want to apply the first time an OTA update.

Therefore I want to check the procedure.

Switched auto OTA to OFF.

Hope that sometime there will be an indication, that the sept update is available.

Then I want to proceed according that guide:

How to Install OTA Updates on Rooted Android Devices using Magisk [Without Losing Root]

An OTA update has arrived, but you cannot install it because your Android device is rooted? Well, that’s a known downside of rooting Android. In this guide, you will learn how to install OTA updates…

www.thecustomdroid.com

Is this a valid option? It seems to be a simple way avoiding all the fastboot staff
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nostromo12:
I did the Sept update exactly the way described in No20 of this thread.

It worked like a charm!! Thanks guys!!

Installed modules: acc, universalfix, hardware off
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] l7777:
Should work yes. It doesn't seem any easier to me but would allow you to update without a computer.

And you should definitely disable your Magisk modules during the process.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Just a quick bump to keep it from getting buried :p
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nostromo12:
I updated my pixel 5 to last factory image, but did not disable the magisk modules and and un-hide magisk. Now I have severe crashes when using android auto. could that be the reason? Have I to factory reset and install everything new?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
OP, I recommend updating the title to reflect that this only applies to Android 11.

The process for Android 12 will be slightly different, due to the introduction of boot verification. See my post here which explains how this works.

NOTE: DO NOT DIRTY FLASH THE FACTORY IMAGE TO UPDATE FROM ANDROID 11 TO 12. If you want to preserve data during the update, use the OTA, either via Android Update or via ADB sideload.

Subsequent updates for Android 12 may be dirty flashed.

The key difference:

Vbmeta must be flashed with the DM-Verity and boot verification flags set to Disabled to be able to use a patched boot image, otherwise the bootloader will return an "Unable to load/verify boot image".

If you intend to update via OTA:

1. Extract vbmeta.img from the factory ZIP to your ADB folder. Not yet known if this will have to be done with every update or whether you can use the same image over and over again.

2. Install the OTA and let the update complete, including a reboot.

3. Reboot to bootloader, then re flash vbmeta:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

4. Reboot back to bootloader

5. You can now flash your patched boot image (if you patched it manually) or live boot an older patched boot image, then use Magisk to directly patch /boot.

If you intend to update via factory zip: (DO NOT USE THIS TO UPDATE FROM ANDROID 11 UNLESS YOU WIPE!)

Manually via ADB:

1a. If you use the flash-all script, ensure you edit

"fastboot -w update image-redfin.zip" to

"fastboot -w --disable-verity --disable-verification update image-redfin.zip"

1b. If you prefer to do your updates manually, update bootloader and radio (if necessary) then use the same command as above to update system:

fastboot -w --disable-verity --disable-verification update image-redfin.zip

2. Let the update complete including a reboot

3. Reboot to bootloader

4. You can now flash your patched boot image (if you patched it manually) or live boot an older patched boot image, then use Magisk to directly patch /boot.

Via the Android Flash tool:

1. Select the update file, uncheck all boxes except "Wipe Data, Disable verity" and "Disable verification"

2. Let update complete including a reboot

3. Reboot to bootloader

4. You can now flash your patched boot image (if you patched it manually) or live boot an older patched boot image, then use Magisk to directly patch /boot.

Note: If you update via OTA, you should be able to dirty flash the factory image without a wipe. Make sure the disable flags are set. I personally wouldn't do this as it is redundant and reflashes all the partitions the OTA already updated. This takes about 10 minutes, vs less than 10 seconds to flash vbmeta alone. I would reserve this option for circumstances where you run into problems after taking the OTA.

Hope this helps when the Android 12 public release finally drops!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeoFateX:
Sigh, updated via fastboot update, booted fine, went to install patched boot, received the "unable" error message. Came here to search. Followed the disable verity stuff and now I'm getting put into recovery and told 'Cannot load Android system' with both the patched boot image and with the original. Realize I probably should have read before doing that, but any way to revert the verity change or do I need to wipe? Thanks.

Was able to factory data reset ok. Thanks!

@V0latyle
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Were you on the beta or Android 11 before you started?

Did you dirty flash?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeoFateX:
Android 11, I used fastboot update. Not the same as OTA. :(
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
That's most likely why. You cannot dirty flash the factory image coming from a previous version of Android. If you had updated using the OTA, you would be fine.

Please refer to my guide here.

What I would do in your situation, since you've already wiped, is use the Android Flash Tool, force flash all partitions, but make sure you disable verity and verification. Then, flash your patched boot image and you should be good to go.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeoFateX:
Yeahhhh that's where I'm at now. Thank you!

Edit: Worked fine after I factory reset, then wiped again using the flash method in the guide with verity/verification disabled. Root is no problem, just having issues with attestation now which I'm sure will be worked out.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
I had no problem with hardware attestation using MagiskHide and the Universal SafetyNet Fix - no other modules except MagiskHide Props Config (automatically installed), Riru, Universal SafetyNet Fix, and Systemless Hosts (for AdAway).

Enabled MagiskHide for ALL components of:

- Google Play Services

- Google Play Store

- Google Services Framework

- GPay
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nogods:
does that preserve apps and data?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcarvil:
Removing the -w from the flash-all file preserves apps and data, so don't forget to remove the -w.

I have this firmware since 29.12.2019. I cannot believe that there were not updates after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Massyboy:
You're lucky LampiR. I was still stuck on the previous one with really poor battery life (48 hours max). I've just updated it so hopefully this will give me a bit longer (I'm hoping it was failed updates causing the issue). Fingers crossed. Definitely agree that no firmware update for their former flagship in over a year is poor though. Especially as some of the other older watches have had flagship features added over time.

Thanks for the firmware hemeyus. Much appreciated

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
Haha sorry guys for posting an essentially pointless thread but I've been ALWAYS wanting an Advantage and I finally got one coming for a good deal. I'm pretty geeked. I also have a Touch as a backup so I may only use this during certain situtations. My main and ONLY concern was that it doesn't have an earpiece but I'll figure something out. I think I may take a BT headset apart and flatten it to the back or something. I'm sure I'll post my efforts here so look out.

Does anyone have a suggestion to what the "best" ROM is available? I'm looking for speed and stability and one that works with GSEN on an x7500.

Cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] AllGamer:
no clue since i own the 7510

but GSEN works perfectly for me.

Coolest thing is when watching videos in CorePlayer, with GSEN, it rotates on the fly, and it doesn;t matter how you have the thing aligned, it'll always show it correctly
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
Sweet can't wait. My luck it won't work on the 7500...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Robson:
if you want gsen to work with your 7500, you would have to download roms made by irus or sogarth. i've installed these on my 7500 and gsen works just fine. if you don't install these roms, most likely you will come up with a message saying "cannot locate gsen 3" or something like that. so far these roms that they've released are the best for the 7500 (if you want to have the autorotate feature). although gsen will work, there are many applications / games (ported out from the htc diamond) that work for some and at the same don't work at all for others.

however, roms by michy are also fantastic...though they don't support gsen....but i think he's working on that =)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
congrats, juice. Its definitely not intuitive/easy-to-use in the phone department, not like most dedicated phones on the market. I recently went back to using an old flip phone for a week (trip to Disney, didn't want to loose or damage my Athena) and it definitely made me yearn for ease-of-use for simple phone calls. But, with a device that can almost literally do everything you have to accept some trade-off.

Many of us use the Jabra BT8010. It somewhat makes up for the shortfalls since its has vibrate, caller ID, and gives you a private earpiece. Also gives you stereo of you want that.

I've been thinking about trying to find a cheap flip or candybar phone that supports bluetooth HFP with Athena as host, or HSP, or PBAP and SAP, or maybe CTP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile ). Bottom line, the ability to use the dedicated phone as a phone without having its own SIM. But, it would be a larger solution than just sticking with my 8010 and would probably need charging every other day so I stick with my 8010. The battery on the 8010 lasts forever.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
Good info thanks alot. Yeah I sometimes take a bunch of calls and sometimes hardly ever. I'm thinking I'm just going to ignore calls that I can call back later in private over speaker. I'm also going to try and stick my ear up to the speaker(probably not possible since the speakers look located on the side). Holy $hi4 would that be hilarious looking. But my main prob will be the calls that I have to take in public... I'm serious about flattening out a BT headset to the back or side.

Have you seen the guy who put a BT headset in a glove? Same concept. Take apart a BT headset it ends up being mostly wires and/or a little chip(s). Maybe put a slight mold/cover over it so there might be a minimum hump. But at the size it already is wouldn't be a deal breaker in any shape or form. It however would need to be charged separately. I'm going to be carrying it without keyboard or case so I'm trying to minimalize it's "footprint" all around. Having to carry another piece of tech like a BT headset I think would get very annoying. I will probably keep one in the car though.

Speaking of the car, thats another reason I'm getting this. My commute to work just doubled and I always wanted a "car computer". IMHO mounting an Advantage(or a UMPC for that matter) is the quickest easiest way to do that. I can watch the news on my way home from work via Sling(not that I would ever do that because it's very dangerous and probably illegal). Check realtime weather not to mention big screen GPS. Oh can't wait to test Live Search with the Satellite view. I also got some webcams set around my house that now I can watch in VGA!

This is going to be interesting.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] AllGamer:
not sure what you find so hard about the Athena as a phone.

but using any BT headset, specially the Jabra BT8010, you can do a simple 1 click, and say who you want to dial, and it dials it for you.

sooooo easy to use.

my Palm Treo never worked so well, even with th same features. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
Dedicated phones are 1-hand friendly, with all my other phones (since 1993) I've been able to use memory dialing or even dial a new number without even looking at the phone while going down the road.

With my BT in my pocket where I can't get it when I'm driving, its a multi-step process to make an outgoing phone call right from the Athena... turn off BT takes 3 button presses, then dialing can take from 2 to many more... then turn BT back on when I'm done... and most if it also can't be done with one hand.

Nothing as easy as using a dedicated phone, even with my old Motorola Star-Tac.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
hey juiceppc - also make sure you upgrade your phone to radio 1.58 if you are often in 3G coverage. Otherwise I recommend 1.57.

Hi,

i'm interested in encrypting (and decrypting) some text and/or Outlook notices on my device. I do not want applications that create a safe on the device which cannot synced with outlook.

far times away i had pgp on my loved palm which fitted my request. Is there any solution for this in the WM6 world? I could not found a working link to pgp or gpg.

Any ideas?

There is still PGP mobile.. but... you'll know what I mean.. officially no download from PGP.

BTW, PGP mobile for PPC do not include encryption for emails.. well at least the one I have doesn't have..

Or you can use Resco Explorer's encryption.. it works on Windows too with a plugin for Windows on the installation package..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Xanthous:
Thank you for the input. I'll have a look at Resco then.

I know dcd a ripped a more recent radio from the Bell release... but I'm wondering... would this radio provide any benefit to Verizon users seeing as it came from a Verizon ROM? Would even work without the new PRI?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
There is absolutely nothing in a radio ROM that ties it to a carrier or optimizes it for a carrier in any way over any other radio ROM.

I will post 3.37.75 here anyways.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rhannahs19:
so is there a benefit to installing the latest and greatest radio?

thanks for all the hard work DCD
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
ya... i realize there is nothing specific to the carrier but it would stand to reason that the carrier did their testing based on that specific release so it could possibly have the best results on their carrier?

I dunno.. I'm just wondering ... will try the radio you posted tho appreciate it!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Th3m3:
I have noticed very little if any difference in signal strength between alltels stock radio and the newest i put on. Going to the new one however did enhance the ability of my gps with alltel stock radio i wasn't able to get anything in my office now i works pretty well.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
So is this Radio ROM decoupled from the VZW ROM update so I can flash it and still keep the DCD 3.2.6 ROM that I already have?

I am on 3.42.50 but am willing to try this Radio ROM to see if there is any difference for VZW users but don't want to screw my phone up with VZW crap that turns off my GPS and Data and all that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SimpTheChimp:
Yea, I am asking the same question: I know what dcd said earlier in this thread but I think it need reiterating: Is installing this radio going to screw up anything for those of us using dcd's ROM?

Also, I'm using 3.42.50; and this is 3.37.75... Isn't this a step backward (as far as version numbers go)? So what would be the difference?

P.S. The 3.42.50 radio rom, who/where was that originally pulled from?
