I need a boot.img necessarily from 12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM GLOBAL.

Nowhere is this version of ROM in FastBoot format to download.

I need extract boot.img to magisk root.

I have an installed version of 12.5.6.0.

But I mistake I flash boot.img from version 12.5.3.0. , and now I have a broken system, it's not sound,wi-fi, etc.

Thanks very much
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kurtschmeichel:
Hi. I used the boot.img from the 12.5.6 "Stable Beta" released a few weeks ago. I read somehere, here, that it is the same built as the one released over OTA a couple of days ago. And so far it's working fine. I have wifi and sound.

It is a recovery file, but you can unzip it and then use a payload dumper tool to extract the boot.img.

The recovery: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable beta/V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM/

And this tool on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases/tag/1.0.0

If I may go off-topic for a question, recovery files are to be flashed in recovery? fastboot files in fastboot mode? hope you can help enlighten me.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jkmaxfli:
I dont need recovery type rom , there is not after unzip the boot. img.

I need fastboot type rom, there is boot. img after unzip.

Thanks

I must flash boot.img over magisk, not twrp!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kurtschmeichel:
Please read my previous post again.

You can get a boot.img from the recovery file!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jkmaxfli:
Thanks very much I'll try it.

So far I have tried to extract boot.img from China V12.5.6.0.RKHCNXM Fastboot TYPE, I flashed it via magisk and everything works fine.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kurtschmeichel:
If everything works OK, then it's fine :)

When the official 12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM is published, you can still patch and flash its boot.img again, in order to be sure you have the right one. I will do it.

Or just wait for the Android 12 update.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kurtschmeichel:
To complete this thread, here is how I extracted the boot.img from the recovery file:

- Download the recovery file from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable beta/V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM/

- Unzip it, you will find a payload.bin file inside.

- Download this command line tool for your platform, I used it on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases

- Unpack it and put the binary inside the folder of the unpacked recovery, next to the payload.bin file

- Run the command : ./payload-dumper-go payload.bin

- Let it do its thing and you will find a series of .img files, one will be boot.img

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 94b20gsr:
Hoping they do, and there are decent trade-in values as well. This OnePlus 9Pro should cover a majority of a P6P 256gb model to make the transition easy. First time Pixel buyer trying to get off the OnePlus train after 4 models.

Stopped by a local store today, they will definitely stock the devices. They estimated the deals (Trade-in or other) would be available to store employees on Thursday evening or Friday morning.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] aviatordoc:
So buying at Tmobile store, will they add all their spam and crap as opposed to buying unlocked ?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shusuke028:
Yep, they will.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Yes, it should be bloated big time....😳
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mang0:
Saw the preorder availability on the T-Mobile site. Can't decide if I want to just order unlocked from Google or go thru TMobile. This is the hardest decision! 😭
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CarinaPDX:
If you look at the news postings you will find an article on where to get the best deals on the Pixel 6. It has links to T-mobile's site, so I guess it is already up. There are some deals available, with Magenta Max IIRC. It also can be bought from Best Buy (unlocked) and of course Google (free Bose earbuds).

I don't want any phone that doesn't have an unlocked bootloader. While there may be great deals on the 6 from T-mobile I simply wouldn't put up with the crapware that is included, as well as the poor after sale firmware support. It seems to me one of the best reasons for a Pixel is to get regular security and OS updates direct from Google, when first released. It may be that the TM 6 can get security updates direct from Google - I don't know as that has been developing. And there may be a way to unlock the bootloader, which would allow installing a North American unlocked firmware. But if not both then I would buy direct. FWIW I just bought a 5a from Google and am downloading 12 right now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TehKing:
I'll probably JOD! my 4a 5G for the Pixel 6 as I have the Pixel 6 Pro on pre-order from Google.

What colorway are people most interested in?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 94b20gsr:
Ended up buying the black 256GB from Google directly after seeing my OnePlus 9 Pro wasn't even listed on the trade-in deals and even if it was I'm not changing my plan just for that. Not to mention they are only stocking the 128GB.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dj24:
People need to be careful where they're ordering from as there is currently a lot of confusion with the 5g bands for the 6 pro. The google support page shows sub-6 missing but according to the Cnet article below most of the other carriers have confirmed that their version will have all the 5g bands that they'll be selling. I've decided to hold off until t-mobile clarifies what their 6 pro will cover compared to the unlocked version before I pull the trigger.

Will Google's Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro work with 5G? The answer is complicated

Google's new Pixel phones have a lot of promise, but also plenty of unanswered questions about 5G support.

www.cnet.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 94b20gsr:
This is a non-issue. That page merely omitted the listed of sub-6. Here is a snippet from another Google support page showing what is covered by model. There won't be a new phone like this released without 5G compatibility as it would make no sense, especially given newer modems cover almost all the required bands without any add-on's other than mmWave. Here is the page and shows carrier by carrier compatability:

Understand 5G compatibility & roaming on Pixel phones - Pixel Phone Help

5G mobile networks let you use more bandwidth than 4G. With more bandwidth, you can get faster speeds. To confirm that you have a phone and carrier that supports 5G, you’ll need to buy a data plan an

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
Just curious...I've been buying my Pixels directly from Google for convenience, because I always prefer max internal storage and carriers don't always offer those.

This year, I wanted to make sure I got the 512 GB model.

Back in 2014, TMobile was running one of those promos where they offered to buy out your contract if you tried them out. They also had the Nexus 6 available for sale, so I decided to give them a shot.

At the time, the Nexus 6 was in high demand, and Tmobile shipped mine the next day. They also tweeted that their Nexus didn't come with all that carrier bloat, poking fun at AT&T.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/536580024997249024

From what I remember, my Tmobile Nexus 6 64 GB was identical to ones shipped from Google.

I am a Sprint/Tmobile customer and have considered buying through my carrier to get a better deal, but go through Google to insure it is bootloader unlockable and unbloated.

Question: Does Tmobile add bloat/carrier apps to most of their Android devices?

I was just curious because of their stance on the Nexus 6 in 2014, but, of course that was 7 years ago and things change.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CarinaPDX:
The (unlocked) 5a works fine on T-Mobile 5G. It does not support mmWave but that is not very useful for mobile applications anyway (mmWave doesn't have much range and doesn't penetrate walls well). If you are buying a MiFi then you would want mmWave if there is a tower close by. What you are losing is that you won't get the extremely high bandwidth when using the phone as a hotspot, but since there are only a handful of cities with this band available that is more theoretical at this point. BTW I am getting better 5G coverage than 4G LTE in my marina - TM put 5G on a nearby tower that they hadn't been using before. TM 5G is widely available, although not really much faster than 4G LTE.

Even if TM doesn't add bloatware (I'm not sure) it is still locked and probably not going to get the updates as often as the unlocked phone. Google has been working on bypassing the networks and directly upgrading phones but don't know if we are there yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] h4ck3r69:
Tmo is only carrying the 128gb variant...I pre-ordered the unlocked version from Google.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
As you stated, that was then, when John Legere was just beginning the "Uncarrier" hype. I enjoyed the ride, but, now that the ultimate goal has been achieved (merger/acquisition), T-Mobile has been gradually backsliding, the Uncarrier has one foot out the door.

Count on T-Mobile bloatware being pre-installed & not all of it can be uninstalled &/or disabled.

The T-Mobile system apk for diagnostics can have the permissions denied, but, it's the one apk that can't be disabled, even w/an ADB command, or, app freezer.

If you're wanting to root/ROM, I'd steer clear of the T-Mobile branded Pixel 6/Pro.

If T-Mobile Pixels can be converted to US unlocked models (for development), it's news to me...........
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CarinaPDX:
I suspect that a TMO 5a or 6xxx can be flashed with the U.S. unlocked firmware, after having been SIM unlocked and then bootloader unlocked. But until someone does it I would consider this a risky proposition, and not worth doing considering that it is easy to buy an unlocked pixel and we know how to root it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
I hope so. I'm getting the T-Mobile Pixel 6 Pro.

We'll know soon enough, I'll definitely be following this thread & any how-to threads for B/L unlocking.

It's not a deal breaker for me, but, definitely prefer the option to flash unlocked firmware, akin to doing the same w/T-Mobile OnePlus devices........
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
Thanks for posting and confirming what I was already suspecting. 7 years ago, Tmobile was the dark horse that was working to be seen as a legitimate alternative to the big 3. Former Sprint execs have even admitted they didn't consider T-Mobile to be true competition, compared to Verizon and AT&T.

I can't complain too much. I've have some Tmobile stock that has appreciated quite nicely over the years, and the old "uncarrier" initiatives and increased competition forced carriers like Verizon to allow 3rd-pary unlocked devices to run on their network, yet Tmobile Tuesday "gifts" are also not nearly as generous.

Hoping you can clarify something you mentioned earlier. You said Tmobile phones come with a diagnostic app that can't be removed or disabled. Does that mean that you could use the phone on Verizon/AT&T and still have a Tmobile app unable to be uninstalled, potentially collecting data?

I'm assuming if the the bootloader can be unlocked and rooted that any app can be disabled, but, as you stated, having a Tmobile variant no longer guarantees unbranding and bootloader unlockability.

Some people don't differentiate between whether a phone can be sim unlocked (to use on different carriers) or bootloader unlocked (to root or run custom firmware). That's not a huge deal for most people, but it gives me pause if I was buying a device on the secondary market, like Swappa.

The only way for a buyer to be sure they are getting a bootloader unlockable device is to ask the buyer where they purchased it from. To be fair, Androiid is more polished and no loner requires root to copy and paste or take screen shots, but I still like having the extra freedom and control to install my own updates.

In the future, if Tmobile ever gets all variants of the Pixel, including the 512 GB or 1 TB versions, with fantastic trade-in offers, it may make my decision more difficult, but I like being able to buy my devices directly from the manufacturers, especially for warranty situations, and use the carriers specifically for phone service.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
@diesteldorf

Yes,the bloat will still be there, regardless of the SIM Card that you use.

Of course, if root is achieved, then you can delete/disable whatever you want.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
@diesteldorf

T-Mobile's history of various storage options indicates what you see when a phone is 1st offered is going to remain the best of what you'll see in the future.

The best example of this is T-Mobile's Samsung devices. At best, Samsung will have most/all options available upon release, but, after the pre-order period is over, the highest options go out of stock immediately & odds are, you won't see them arrive more than once or twice before the only options are the entry & mid-level options.

Typically, you're stuck with only the lowest storage option available within the first month after release,.

Apple is the only mfg that stays in-stock for a reasonable amount of time after the pre-order period (w/T-Mobile).

I would not count on any other storage options in the future w/T-Mobile branded Pixel 6 models, especially since Google has the worst track record w/availability, regardless of model, whether carrier unlocked or not.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bnopnia:
I am sorry in advance, I am new to it and there is too much information for me. So, I want to get poco f3, but I can find global version of it. So I am thinking of installing miui.eu as far as I understand it works better. So my problem about safetynet - I need my banking apps and so on. As far as I understand, I need to unlock my bootloader, and by doing so, I automatically won't pass safetynet even if I won't install miui.eu (or any other) at all. Is there is a way, to be able to use miui.eu, banking apps and not to tweak with magisk?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Alin45:
xiaomi.eu pass safetynet out of the box...so, no need to root ur phone to use bank apps.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bnopnia:
So unlocking bootloader does not strip you from safetynet? I am kind of confused. Is xiaomi.eu like other roms like lineage os or its kinda official. Sorry for dumb questions :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bnopnia:
Is there any other popular roms that can pass safetynet without magisk?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Alin45:
Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM based on official MIUI. If u install this ROM, safetynet pass out of the box.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DaRdamnDoG:
Unlocking your bootloader, installing a custom recovery (mainly TWRP) and flashing MIUI.eu rom will not affect PlayStore and SafetyNet Attestation API.

Rooting your device (or more commonly known as installing Magisk) will cause it. There is a workaround called MagiskHide, but if there's nothing really important you needed to root I would say just flashing the MIUI.eu rom is way more than enough.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DaRdamnDoG:
Any roms that does not come preinstalled with Magisk should have no issues with SafetyNet API.

And according to XiaoMi.eu website they are collaborating together with the XiaoMi official developers so your warranty is not voided.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] HueyT:

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] nagi_007pk:
I read through your entire post and while most of the things you have said could be attributed to a subjective basis depending on person to person basis but the overall idea has a couple of inconveniences that I would like to add some insight of my own and would like to explain without sounding too brash

This is just my own personal impression that I have witnessed being part of the greater Android ecosystem in general starting from the early days to where we are now

In my opinion, the lack of interest by developers that originally gave their time and effort into working hard and fixing things has generally not kept up with the pace of Google's development efforts to curb these "hacks". The cat and mouse game what the post you quoted said is nearly at an end. I think Google is winning with everything in broader terms and despite the conveniences offered by microG and custom roms using that implementation, it doesn't come close to what Google offers.

The hassle of finding workarounds to make even the basic of functionality to work on Android requires time and effort which as I have already said earlier, it's something no one can commit to these days. The "enthusiast" aspect of custom rom development has really taken a dive over the past few years as manufacturers generally offer good enough functionality (at least for my use case as I am heavily reliant on my phone for work and general personal use) and Android has come a long way since the early days.

All of what I said boils down to the cost of convenience vs concern for issues that are really issues for a specialist segment of users within the entire community. People de-google their phones to focus on privacy and prevent data mining from these data hungry corporations and I for one for wish I could have something that would decrease my overreliance on Google's services but it is just not possible as the majority of people just use their phones and expect things to work just like that. So, the long lived idea of if it ain't broke, don't fix it plays very well into this. The trouble is generally not worth the inconveniences that come with it. Lack of interest of users therefore means lack of options and thus a lack of development.

Here's my 2 cents
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] ej8989:
I think for devs or hobby-coders who do this for free, time is more valuable than the luxury of "privacy" (which doesn't really exist if you're using any form of social media, like XDA).

Things changed. Android is more polished now than the Nexus days.
