If you have the ROM zip on your phone you can extract, and then patch, the boot image directly on your phone instead of downloading it onto your computer and then extracting it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
But to flash it you need a fastboot enabled device(pc or otherwise), or am i misunderstanding.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Correct. You need still need to flash the patched image in fastboot.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Toronadian:
Posting in here since the regular Pixel 6 section seems less active, but a few questions about updating to this new Android 14 Stable, October 2023 Update:

1) Does the usual method of downloading the factory image, then changing then editing the "flash-all.bat" file to remove the "-W" flag work to update? I would then use Magisk to patch the boot image, and flash the patched boot img to root.

2) Currently still on the Aug 2023 update. Any reason need to get to Sept 2023 update first prior to updating?

3) Is the latest version of Magisk stable working, or do I need to use the latest Canary build?

4) Are the newest SDK Platform Tools (Version 34.0.4 from July 2023) still messed up with this update? Should I continue using the older Version 33.0.3?

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes

No

Latest Stable and Canary are both working.

I've been using the current 34.0.4 for the past several months with no problems, for what it's worth. You can continue to use 33.0.3 as well.

So as a test I did a clean install of A14 using platform tools 34.0.4 that I downloaded from Google today. It flashed everything just fine however it did not perform a data wipe as instructed. I have read that this was an issue with earlier downloads and if memory serves there have been several undocumented changes to 34.0.4 without Google changing the version number. It appears that doing a data wipe still does not work as expected. So back to 33.0.3 until Google gets its act together.

2) H to V screen transitions pause and stutter (Nova 7.0.57)

3) Pixel camera app crashes on open (deleted all data, added to deny list, reinstalled).

4) Google services framework won't stay hidden in deny list.

Thoughts?

Issues accessing storage after updating to Android 14 - Google Pixel Community
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
From my Pixel 8 Pro thread:

All other directions are the same. For any unfamiliar with the Full OTA Zip method, go to my post I quote above and you'll find it.

Just use the boot.img on the Pixel 6 Pro, of course, so substitute boot.img for init_boot.img in my Pixel 8 Pro (or 7 Pro) directions.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
Didn't pay much attention for this issue over a year since updated to A13. Always flash with the monthly update with factory image on A13 and from A13 to A14, now I am on A14 QPR1 beta 2.2. I do remember that when I update from A12 to A13, in the first few month, I always flash the factory image to both slots (by flash one slot and then switch to another slot for factory image flashing). Then perhaps in the middle of the A13 stage habit die out, now always flash factory image in just one slot (just found out it is slot b).

So my question is that:

1. Am I safe now? Do I have the risk that the secondary slot is not bootable in my case which is slot a?

2. I never use the Full OTA Zip method, if it is deem necessary, can I use my old method: flash factory image in one slot and then flash the other by switch to it?

Hope you can give a hand on this, thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If the last update you flashed was using the factory image, then your other slot is not bootable.

The only thing you are safe about now is that both slots have a bootloader, which is more than the alternative slot had when the phone was brand new. But it won't actually boot from the other slot. It'll try to, but it'll fail.

You *can* flash the factory image to both slots, but you're mostly wasting your time doing so because the most recent slot you flash with a factory image is the only one that will be bootable.

The only time it's not a complete waste is when the phone is brand new, just so you can get a bootloader onto that other slot.

My Full OTA Zip method instructions in my Pixel 8 Pro and 7 Pro threads' post #2 detail how to do it. It's not hard at all.

I never used to use the Full OTA Zip method either, before six months ago. Since then, it's all I use, and to both slots. So far, I root both slots as well, but you can opt to have one rooted and one not if you choose.

It is your choice, however. I hope this helps.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
Thank you so much for your time to give such a detail explanation. I will read/study that Full OTA Zip thread and perhaps do it the coming weekend.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
By the way, my understanding is that init_boot is only available starting with Pixel 7 series. I know I can modify to patch the boot.img instead of init_boot.img, and flash boot instead of flash init_boot, then update with the full OTA zip to both slots. However, since there is no init partition and no init_boot with Pixel 6 series, is this flashing to both slots to have them both bootable method still apply? Thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Sideloading the Full OTA to both slots to make both slots bootable doesn't depend on which partition/image you modify to gain root.

However, you'll want to flash your patched image after sideloading the Full OTA, but before booting.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
I believe the procedures which described in the Full OTA zip method is based on Pixel 7 series and onward as it mentioned to patch the init_, boot.img and flash init_boot the patched.img. Since Pixel 6 series and older series don't have the init_boot.img, that's the reason I ask. Anyway, I know now that the principle still apply. Thanks to clarify.

Both worked without any issues.

Just to be clear my experience was with the google webpage and not @badabing2003 tool
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Updated both slots with adb / OTA method, rooted boot.img with Magisk Canary 26401. I had unhidden Magisk, and stopped all modules. I used Platform Tools 34.0.5.

No problems encountered at all.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Probably. It's a back-up device though.

I'm flashing the November update now without wiping. Let's see what happens.

Edit: well, what do you know! It booted after updating to November! I patched the new boot again with Magisk v26.4, rebooted a couple of times and voila! Didn't have to disable any Magisk module.

That was a weird update quirk. Maybe it didn't like the fastboot flash boot --slot=all argument when I flashed the Magisk-patched boot.img? Works all the time on my P7P though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sure thing (you're welcome)! No, I've only had that one report so far; and I would've expected to see more pretty fast if that had been the case, so unless I hear differently, I'll consider that user's case to be an outlier. I'll tag you on any others, if there will be any.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
As I understand it, that person wasn't actually flashing anything, but rather they said that Android Flash Tool couldn't find the Nov. build.

Also, I believe Android Flash Tool uses its own fastboot/Platform Tools. On the Android Flash Tool page it doesn't mention anything about installing Platform Tools as a requirement, only mentions having the USB Drivers, USB Debugging enabled, browser requirement, etc..

I'm wondering if the November build just wasn't up at that time in Android Flash Tool (although it usually has the builds before they are posted on the download page) and then was put up and it was just a coincidence that after they switched to 34.0.5 it found the build.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
