I've seen on other device threads were the built in FPS counter doesn't show the actual refresh rate and only bounces between those two. Can't recall what method was used but there are other apps that will display the proper info.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] IvanPTachev:
I see. I read on the Xda review, that it fluctuates between 60-120 so wanted to test and see if thats true, as I would imagine it dropping down to 10hz would be way better for battery performance.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JDUS:
This review is confirming that too. The variable refresh rate is definitely broken...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
As I understand it, SurfaceFlinger only sees 60 and 120, but can't see below 60. It is the display controller that sees below 60, so I suspect the Poco X3 has a different display controller than the Pixel 6 Pro. I think the Pixel 6 Pro would have to have a different display controller to allow the the developer options refresh rate to display anything below 60.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Joelbrentbell:
Anyone having an issue where the phone just drops down to 60hz even thou the slider is set on 120hz?? Happens about once a day for me the only way to fix it is a reboot
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] orlans21:
Are you using tasker? I noticed in tasker that one of the tasks I had running dropped the display down to 60hz. Either that or it lowered performance in some way.

Not many people talk about it over here at xda is it because its not safe or something else and i am really curious about this, Could it be no one care about there privacy but customization or something else so lets dive into this a bit and who ever have some knowledge and willing to give me some clarification i would really appreciate it.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Update 12-16-21: As of Magisk 23016, the below is no longer relevant; verity/verification need not be disabled for root.

For instructions on rooting your Pixel 6 Pro, see this guide.

This thread will be closed.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] swieder711:
The loss of "Hide Magisk" in the lastest release means a few of my apps (banking and work expense) are not going to work if I root my Pixel 6 P. So disappointing. I will miss GravityBox the most, but will learn to live without it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Magisk 23010 has DenyList, which works exactly like MagiskHide. However, getting Safetynet to pass is more complicated, as Riru is not compatible with 23010, so you can't use Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.0.0 or newer. So, I went back to Magisk 23001.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
That was only for Android 12 beta.

Since official build has been released you no longer need to disable DM verify etc.

But still need boot.img to be patched which requires download of factory image which we can't do atm.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
Thanks for pointing out that Riru is not compatible. I thought I was doing something wrong.

In order to roll back to an earlier version of Magisk, do I need to uninstall Magisk 23010 and unroot, reflash the original boot.img, install Magisk 23001, use it to patch the original boot.img, and then reflash?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Incorrect. DM verity and vbmeta verification MUST be disabled to run a patched boot image. This is true regardless of whether it's the 12 Beta or the public release.

Remove Magisk via the Uninstall option within the app; first use Restore Images, then use Complete Uninstall. This will restore the boot image, so you don't have to. It will then reboot the phone.

At that point, yes, you would install the older version of Magisk, then root as usual by patching the boot image.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Will we be able to flash the OTA every month without wiping now? Just add the DM verity and vbmeta stuff before flashing the patched boot image?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Had the updates changed at some point? On the Pixel 1 we were able to remove the -w from the update script to flash without wiping.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
One of our users, @HumorBaby was able to upgrade from the 12 Beta via OTA. See his guide here. This should, in theory, work for the monthly updates as well.

What is currently unknown is whether a data wipe will be required prior to root if updated via other methods (factory image or automatic OTA).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Oh good, thanks.

I always sideload the OTA via ADB. So I guess that's fine! 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It sounds like you may update the same way I do. Each month flash the factory image without the -w, patch the boot image and flash the patched boot image?

It sounds like (of course we don't know for sure yet) that we will still be able to do it this way each month except before flashing the patched boot image we'll have to disable DM verity and vbmeta verification first, reboot into bootloader, flash vbmeta.img (or just flash vbmeta with those flags disabled-easier), reboot to bootloader and then flash the patched boot image. Is this the way you're seeing it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, exactly, I use the full image and flash everything else that's necessary afterwards to stay rooted / have my custom kernel (when applicable).

And yes, that sounds right too for what we're likely going to need to do.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-pixel-5-android-12.4187609/

Read Index 4, Point 2

Its only for people upgrading to Android 12.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Again, incorrect. This issue is -not- limited to the beta and has been present for users upgrading to the public release.

The Pixel 6 is launching with Android 12, is it not? Disabling Android Verified Boot is not specific to the upgrade; rather, it's required for root on Android 12. If AVB is implemented on the Pixel 6 in any similarity to the Pixel 4 and 5 series - which there is an extremely good chance it is - then disabling it will be REQUIRED to use a patched boot image.

Note who is in the credits for that post.

As I'm sure you're aware, you can either update using the OTA, or you can dirty flash the factory image.

DM-Verity and vbmeta verification will have to be disabled every time /vbmeta is flashed. Thus, the easiest way to update, and disable AVB at the same time, would be to dirty flash the system update:

fastboot update --disable-verity --disable-verification raven-image.zip
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
hmm ok :(

this sucks hope devs aint put off and then we get zero development. My OP8 Pro at least has Havoc and AICP
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I wouldn't worry too much. Getting past roadblocks has always been part of the fun. I've always loved making technology do what it's not supposed to do.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
I don't think this was necessarily intentional; I believe Google is just trying to make Android more secure, and in so doing, may have inadvertently made things harder for us.

The whole point of Android Verified Boot is to prevent malicious code from being loaded at boot time - such as persistent rootkits. Unfortunately, things like Magisk fall into that category.

What's a bit confusing to many of us was that we were under the impression that unlocking the bootloader should have been sufficient to disable AVB, and there shouldn't be extra steps. One would think that there would be a discernable difference between malicious attempts at compromising device and system security, vs deliberate. We all understand that running a rooted device has risk, including a potential attack vector, so why wouldn't Google just let us assume that risk and do whatever we want with the hardware?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
You bring up some good points. One of the reasons I buy directly from Google is they don't typically invalidate legitimate warranty issues because the bootloader was unlocked.

However, maybe they are concerned about someone rooting their phone, overclocking the processor. blowing the speakers, and then trying to claim a warranty replacement.

However, most people that root won't be so careless and most warranty issues are completely unrelated to whether the bootloader was unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
@Nekromantik I think I misunderstood the point you may have been trying to make.

Yes, we discovered that a data wipe is required to root after upgrading to Android 12.

We do not yet know if a data wipe will be required to root on a device that had an original CLEAN install of Android 12. It's definitely an excellent question, and something us Pixel 4/5 guys can test while you wait for your firmware drop.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
Yes thats what I was referring to on first point :)

As long as you dont need to wipe after every update then its all good
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Yes I can confirm that. Didn't work for me either.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Yeah, you can't flash both slots directly in fastboot, although I believe you -can- switch the active slot:

fastboot flash vbmeta --etc --etc vbmeta.img (should tell you which slot it flashed)
fastboot --set-active=(other slot)
fastboot flash vbmeta --etc --etc vbmeta.img
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] snovvman:
"fastboot flash vbmeta --etc --etc vbmeta.img" returns with "fastboot: unknown option -- etc". I searched for fastboot usage options but did not find --etc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
he means etc as in etcetera not actual command :)

what he was saying he you need to make sure you do it in bootloader after sideload OTA not in fastbootd and then flash to both slots before reboot
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] snovvman:
I was trying the above in search of a repeatable process to update patches, root, and without having to wipe. In case I wasn't clear, I was using the available images and OTAs, A4, C2, C4, etc. Since I can factory flash to A4 (from C2, C4) and OTA sideload update to C2 or C4, I was attempting to simulate an OTA sideload and flashing patch.

Edit: It appears that the P6P root and SafetyNet solutions are well under way. To me, however, being able to patch from month to month without having to wipe is a bigger issue. For me, wiping and restoring each month is too much maintenance. Unless I can find a way to not wipe, I may have to give up root and all the goodness that it provides.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] snovvman:
Ah! Duh!!

If you see @V0latyle's comments in these posts, he states that one should stay in recovery, enter fastboot to flash and not bootloader--which would trigger the need to wipe. Unless I misunderstood?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
you need to be in bootloader to do normal fastboot commands. not fastbootd he must have forget to mention it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
You took me too literally.

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

Negative, Ghostrider. You need to be in fastboot (go to recovery, select Enter Fastboot). Not all commands work in fastboot, but follow my instructions to the letter if you don't want to wipe.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CappyT:
Isn't this a sort of vulnerability?

How can I defend myself against live booting from fastboot?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 93fuelslut:
Howndo you patch a boot image? For step 2
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Don't unlock your bootloader
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CappyT:
Oh, ok, so it does indeed once unlocked.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Use Magisk, and since you're on the Pixel 6, use Canary 23010 or newer.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] buschris:
i can't take it anymore. So, why does everyone feel the need to "update" every month? I can see if Google decides to release some "Revolutionary" camera update or something. But just for a security update? lol what a joke that's been running for about 3 years or better
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Cares:
They post what each update has. If you don't care for it then don't update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AznImport88:
I can't get root to stick. I've installed the latest Canery build, patched my boot image, got the temporary root, and followed steps in Magisk to get permanent root. However, when i reboot, the phone is no longer rooted. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Does disabling verity and verification create a security risk? Or is this just used for the files being loaded while booting but not while the system is up and running?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cultofluna:
Reboot to bootloader

fastboot flash boot --slot=all magisk patched blabla.img

Fastboot reboot
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] s3axel:
Well, it creates the risk that anybody with physical access to your phone could flash modified partitions that may also include something unwanted/nasty..... On the other hand a rooted boot image belongs to this category as well (modified that is), so no root without disabling this ;)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Yes and no. With an unlocked bootloader and vbmeta disabled, someone could grab your phone and flash their own boot image to try and compromise your data...but they'd still have to get through device encryption. It's honestly more statistically likely that you'd download a malicious app and grant it root access.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Thanks, I feel safe with disabling it then ;-)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
To be honest here, if you have someone that has unwanted physical access to your phone & wants to get into your phones files with a custom boot image, you have far greater problems than the Porn Search history that might get leaked. So, uhm, I agree.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
Because I'm lazy, I update every other month, or every third month (unless the new update includes quadruple battery life), but I don't fault those who want, like, or feel the need to update monthly.

As crazy as it sounds, some users just ENJOY tinkering, flashing, and messing with their devices and a fresh, new monthly factory image is the perfect excuse to do just that.

I used to be one of those! I also used to underclock CPUs, GPUs, lower screen brightness, keep a 98% dark wallpaper, and Greenify everything app under the sun JUST to increase my SOT by 30 minutes :p

But like the monthly factory update, I am now too lazy and no longer care about having to plug my device in once a day :D

As for those who still squeeze every drop of life out of their battery, who enjoy updating the factory image every, single, month; good for you, keep on enjoying your device the way you prefer.

For those, like me, who are too lazy or no longer care about living on the developmental razor's edge, good for us.
