Well, they definitely posted release notes for versions that weren't actually available to download yet. They still have 34.0.0 RC2 listed there for some reason, too, but yeah, the download was still only 34.0.0 until last night.

Note that two users in my Pixel 7 Pro thread have said that 34.0.1 did not work correctly for them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
If that figures into things, will i screw anything up if i try when march comes out or it'll just fail. If it fails i can roll back then, if it'll screw anything up I'll downgrade now, granting someone has the link to the earlier version.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
There's no way to know for sure until it comes out and someone tries and reports back. Users reported that the Android 14 Developer Preview 2 with March security update flashed fine with 33.0.3, so there's a chance the Stable March firmware will too.

It's doubtful that it would permanently mess anything up anyway if you tried 34.0.1 - you'd just have to re-do it with 33.0.3 if 34.0.1 fails to work correctly.

@Namelesswonder's quoted post below linking the old, known working version is also in the OP:

Running into a problem since updating to the March Update, and unable to rule out hardware damage or update damage because I hadn't used my DAC in a couple weeks. I have at least been able to rule out Magisk Modules (I use Audio Modification Library and Audio Compatibility Patch) as this started happening before I re-enabled root after updating (I even attempted an uninstall of the Modules). I have also ruled out the DAC and earbuds as I have other DACs and headphones and still get the issue. I also ruled out Media Player Apps as it's happening with multiple ones. This issue does not happen with any other outputs, only in the described below scenario.

When I plug in my USB DAC for my 3.5mm wired earbuds and hit play all is good, when I turn off the screen all is good, but when I rotate the phone 90deg (so the port and cable are pointing up) the Media App freezes. Once that happens I have to physically unplug the DAC and pause the Playback before it will allow me to unlock the screen..

Wonder if I should wait and see if Google's going to release an F1 - Canada like March?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It seems to me that most of the time, if there are going to be alternate firmwares, they release them at the same time as Global. That might not be the case 100% of the time, but it has been usually that way since I've been closely monitoring for the last year and a half.

Edit: It definitely was the case in March, where they released both sets of firmwares at the same time.

What's the baseband for the April stable update? Is it different than the QPR 2.1? g5123b-116954-230330-B-9849771
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BROKEN1981:
For my P6P, I have to flash the version that says for T-Mobile, correct?

I bought it from T-Mobile. So I assume I can't flash Global.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash any version you want. Even I, on Global with a direct from Google unlocked Pixel, and I'm not using T-Mobile as a carrier, could flash the T-Mobile variant if I wanted to see if it would make any difference. Come to think of it, I am doing a free three-month trial of T-Mobile, but they're not my main carrier and I most likely won't switch.

Since there is no T-Mobile-specific variant for the April update, flashing Global is the only option if you want to update. You don't have to update, but you can. You won't be able to downgrade without wiping data if you do upgrade, so if you find the Global radio doesn't work as well for you on T-Mobile as your current firmware, and if you want to go back to your now old firmware, you'd have to wipe data, otherwise things might misbehave if you downgrade without wiping.

I hope that helps.

I'm just generally asking after feature drops are done. I don't want to flash the wrong FW and brick on a monthly security update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As long as the firmware is for the correct Google device, no official firmware should* brick your phone, ever, at least without extenuating circumstances that are usually our own fault.

* There are always going to be exceptions, but even then, they usually involve out of the normal conditions.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BROKEN1981:
Ahh ok. So no T-Mobile branded devices need to run T-Mobile branded FW.

I'm used to Samsung,LG T-Mobile branded devices. Looking for T-Mobile branded FW. This is all new to me. That's for clearing that up!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! I think the Pixel is considered incredibly difficult to accidentally brick, at least hard brick.

Commonly, at the worst, you just need to factory reset the device, or in the pretty rare case of some annoying pre-boot corruption message, that phone is still fully useable and the corruption message goes away after the next manual update, with other potential methods available to fix the issue sooner.

And that corruption is, again, more related to the things we do to our phones, like root them or disabling Verity and Verification, than anything else.

I have added fastbootd testing into PF's Dry Run Mode which is part of the PF's next release.

I just tested this on a Pixel 5 device, and the device was able to get into fastbootd, which was the issue with the previous v34.x versions.

I don't know if this is conclusive enough to prove that this version is good, as I didn't flash anything just switched to bootloader, then fastbootd then bootloader and then system, which is what happens during dirty flashing.

I would expect it to work, as it is able to get the device into fastbootd and detect it.

[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] wetito:
i think root is useless. miui 12.5.2 is perfect. if you want debloat simply use fastboot adbtools.jar, without root. but if you want root, you had to wait miui 12.5.2 fastboot firmware. for patch boot.img via magisk and install the boot patched image via fastboot (but first you had to unlock bootloader). so my suggesion is debloat with bootloader unllocked but without root (i suppose you already have unllocked)

Download recovery rom for 12.5.2 unzip it you will get payload.bin search how to extract payload.bin on google you will find guide and python script run that script volia boot.img and all will be extracted from recovery rom patch that boot image from magisk and flash it via fastboot cammand

Am I missing something about downgrading, or am I just doing something way off? Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Didgeridoohan:
Why v22.1? Magisk v23 still has the "normal" MagiskHide...

(And just as a FYI, the new Deny list that is included in the latest Canary, 23010, works just as good to hide Magisk from what I've seen so far.)

I've tried 23 as well, I am on it as we speak, yet no matter what, I cannot get the boot to flash...

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] DrSeussFreak:
Google play services is what I was missing in my earlier attempts. I cannot thank-you enough!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
No problem. Google Play Services actually provides the security information for applications that depend on it, so it's one of the most important ones to hide.

Don't forget to hide other apps too. I've come across some weird ones; for example, I have a Honeywell WiFi smart thermostat, and for some odd reason the app not only checks for root, but prevents me from remotely controlling the thermostat if root is detected.

In most cases, you should be able to tell if something needs to be hidden or not; some apps just won't work (like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video).

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] DrSeussFreak:
Sorry, 1 additional question I didn't get a clear answer from the forums. I have 4 modules active in Magisk, 3 of them related to safetynet, Riru, MagiskHide Props Config and Universal Safetynet Fix. I disabled them and everything is still working, and I am guessing I do not need them anymore, since it's a whole new setup.

Am I correct that I no longer need these modules anymore? Once again, I appreciate the help.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Correct, I was using the same solution as you - I had Riru, USNF, MagiskHide Props Config, and Systemless Hosts. I removed everything and reenabled Systemless Hosts after a reboot. The reason this is necessary is because 23010 uses a different language to interface with modules, so a lot of modules are going to have to be rewritten.

I may end up going back to 23001 because my banking app (Navy Federal) now refuses to start.
