[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 93starletgt:
Hi. The same happened to me. My P6P bootlooped straight into Fastbootd after I updated to "raven-up1a.231105.003-factory-76a795d5" using Pixeflasher whilst patching the image (as I do every month). In order to make it boot, I had to use the Android Flashtool website to reinstall the update without wiping. I am unrooted now and hating it. Could it be that I've installed a Magisk Module called Iconify a few days ago? And perhaps when the boot.img is patched by Pixelflasher, that module activates and causes a bootloop? I'm so confused. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 93starletgt:
I just read your previous post again. I used Pixelflasher. I've installed the Magisk Module "Iconify" a couple days ago. This is the only difference compared to previous updates I've done. Do you think that when I patch the boot.img with Pixelflasher, all the modules immediately activate and that's causing the bootloop? if so, how can I disable/delete them without root? Thanks for your help.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Hard to say. I'm no expert in these things, and generally update "manually" with flashall without the -w, or using adb and the ota image. I always disable all modules before I start.

Can you get back to fastboot? Power and vol-down.

If so, and you previously have rooted the boot.img file, you should be able to fastboot it with "fastboot flash boot magiskroot" where magiskroot is the name of your updated file.

If not, you could try safe booting it, which should disable all magisk modules.

Otherwise, dig back in this thread. Someone else will have faced the same issue. Hopefully you don't have the wider profile related Android 14 problem.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
This is what I did to get out of the bootloop:

I flashed the November update using the factory image from Google and adb without wiping (remove the - w in the flash-all file). That was enough for my P6P to boot again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] StanWiz:
I had no issues. using pixel flasher and latest platform tools. Until October update I have always used the factory file - this time I used Ota file . Worked like a charm - updated to inactive slot.

i have to wait another 1/2 hr to 1 hr before i should be able to get my sim unlock just waiting and biding my time called to verify that it was processed and i was told it should be after 7pm pst and i could try and it should go through, i will update once i try it to see what happens

Apparently, carrier Google phones in Canada have the bootloader unlocked.

I'm getting my Freedom Mobile Pixel 6 Pro tomorrow and will let you know.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KedarWolf:
Confirmed, Freedom Mobile Pixel 6's have OEM Unlocking enabled and my bootloader unlocked successfully.

To install the ADB drivers etc. when they failed to install by browsing the the Google USB folder, I said Check Through Windows Update and they were optional drivers that work just fine. :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] allenjthomsen:
Sim unlocked at 630am pst time but now all it says is to connect to internet or contact carrier whereas before it said basically this device need to be carrier unlocked.

Idk im trying a few things to see if it will stop saying that

When I get my phone today 🤞 I'll try the temp unlock process and see if that gets me access to unlock the bootloader then. 😊

Nice you're getting a perm unlock though!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] allenjthomsen:
yea when i did the temp unlock it did the unlock and said to reboot as soon as i rebooted my esim popped up with an error saying it couldnt connect to tmobile and to contact customer support which i did it gave an error code which the tech support guy asked for and then the eid.

only reason i was able to get a permenent unlock is because he had me try it a second time and same thing happened so he just offered to give me the permenant.

i got the $10 in credits because of the issue and was asked if my problems were resolved and i said yes thank you
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] allenjthomsen:
i did the temp unlock again now its stuck on this in developer options but my sim still works this time i saw that info when i first setup my device originally but after i originally got the device it said that until i setup the esim than it said this device is carrier locked or something similar havent figured out what todo here because i cant get it to stop saying what it shows now.

weird part is im connected to wifi and tmobile network

i guess the best thing i can do is wait for the perm unlock to see if it changes from that to letting me use oem unlock, i dont know if its just my device being weird with it after the temp unlock or what.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mang0:
This happened after they pushed the perm unlock or temp unlock? If temp unlock, I can see why it would say that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] allenjthomsen:
this is temp unlock ,but why would it say connect to internet or call your carrier like when you first setup device but i am connected to wifi and tmobile network, i get on some devices that temp unlock doesnt allow oem unlock but on others it does.

whats weird is it says connect to internet or call your carrier after the temp unlock like it does when you first setup the device after buying it

thats the part i dont understand is why would it go back to saying that after it says

this device is carrier-locked when you first setup the phone

Think we are miscommunicating...

Negal had said "Locking and unlocking bootloader will wipe BOTH slots, right?"

You responded with "nope, just the userdata, and happens only when you unlock"

But a factory reset is automatically performed when both locking and unlocking the bootloader.

Maybe you missed my question mark at the end after I said "A factory reset is no longer automatically performed when locking the bootloader (as it is when unlocking the bootloader)?", which has caused the confusion???
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
Ah, I missed the question mark and thanks for correcting me, I always thought only unlock did the automatic wipe, now I know better.

Not that I ever lock my bootloader.

i am on latest december update and i update it using Pixel flasher wth flash both Slot option selected

please can anybody help me

:(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
Only if you flash full OTA twice (once for each slot), it does not work with factory firmware.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Druboo666:
so to have both slot bootable i have to Flash Full OTA with both slot option ticked not the factory image?.

I am right now on december update and i update it using factory image should i flash OTA on both slot right now?

is that safe...............as these new pixels are very prone to brick
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
If you're using PixelFlasher check the OP of pf thread, everything is explained.

There is no option to flash both slots when flashing OTA, you have to do it two times in a row.

I have read everything I could find on your comments about degrading the pixel 6 pro from Android 13 to Android 12. Most of them are quite old. I am hoping there is some new information or techniques are now present to allow this to be done.

Thanks for any information you can supply

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
No the best you can do is google's 12dev which can run on the 13 bootloader but is hobbled (i think including radios don't work, iirc from two years ago)

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ricpdjrr:
I use the automation app Tasker. Unfortunately both Android 13 and 14 have crippled or broken many features this app offers. This would break many of my exsting projects from that app. There are some work arounds available with root so and I might just have to go with 13 rooted for now untill the developer can once again fix all that Google has broken 0n 14.... :(

Tanks for the reply.... :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
I wrote the dev of tasker with a problem (after i turned to 13) and he provided me with "tasker settings" app and tasker works fine for me on 13 and now 14.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ricpdjrr:
Yes, I am aware of the Tasker Settings app. It Is that kind of work around I was hoping to avoid. I am fairly active on the Tasker reddit site and have been using it and helping others with it for more over 10 years. There is always some fixes that João needs to do with every android update, However android 13 and 14 have been the worst so far.

Anyway a rooted 13 looks to be the lesser of all the evil's on this one. Thank you very much for the guide. I used your guide as well as AZ Bikers. All went very smooth with one small glich that was my fault. When I extracted the second zip file containing the image I only copied the contents of the extraction back to the Platform tools folder, not realizing the process actually used the zip file itself. This was clearly layed out in the guide.... Just my mistake with a tiny heart stopping moment when the first flash failed with a error... 🤪

It turns out I will have to do this all over again... 🙄... I bought this pixel 6 pro from ebay and all seemed fine except for when I turned on Always On Display. From the very first time I started the device. With screen off - that setting would show the clock for only 2 seconds then go to a completely black screen. The screen was still on as I could navigate it with touches but it is completely black. The only way to get the screen back on was to blindly reboot the device by using the long press power and blindly tap 'reboot' or go to the bootloader mode. I thought flashing and rooting might fix this, However it did not. So now I need to send it back and try again. Arrrgggg...

Have you ever heard of this with the Pixel 6 pro?

Thanks again for all the effort you put into the guide...

Rich..
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:

I have not, although I never used AOD. I don't particularly remember others mentioning this.

And thank you, @Nergal di Cuthah, for helping on a subject I definitely would not be knowledgeable about, regarding Tasker. I generally use Automate, myself.

Posting in here as the 6 Pro section appears to get more traffic than the regular 6 section...

So I just helped a family member root a Pixel 8, and for that device the rooting process has become slightly different as Magisk patches the init_boot.img file. I just want to make sure for January 2024 that for the Pixel 6 we are still continuing to just patch the boot.img file if flashing the factory image to update? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
Nope,

All tensor based devices use init_boot.img and you have to patch init_boot.img, so basically anything 6a, 6. 6 pro or newer devices.

Sorry I was wrong.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes, the Pixel 6 series still uses the boot.img to patch with Magisk.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Oh really? The Pixel 6 series changed to init_boot.img???
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yeah, wait. What? Pixel 6 was always boot.img, and Pixel 7 (and now 8) were always init_boot.img. Basically, only those devices which launched with Android 13 (edit: 13 or newer) needed init_boot.img patched instead of boot.limg.

I no longer have a P6P, though, just the 7P and 8P, so no recent experience.

What the recommended actions to take? I've got stuck on bootloader and used google's chrome pixel recovery and factory reset with adb and then installed the januari update on both slots.

Installed on January 10. Unrooted and since then then my phone have failing Google Play Certification. So im unable to to use Google pay etc.

Ive also sent bug report to Google but the response was rather dull.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you're unrooted but have the bootloader still unlocked, then use the Official Google Android Flash Tool, checking the box to flash both slots and the other box to re-lock the bootloader. This will wipe all data on the phone, so have what you want to keep from it backed up before you do all that.

If you want to be rooted and pass play certification, then don't bother doing the above, but you'd need to re-root. I've been most recently using daboynb's PlayIntegrityNEXT(fork of @chiteroman's), which includes an app icon to retrieve a new fingerprint when necessary. There is also @osm0sis PlayIntegrityFork (fork of @chiteroman's), but I haven't tried it.

If your bootloader is re-locked, and you're still not passing, then I don't know what to suggest.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] devonas:
Yes. That's what i used in order recover from not being able to boot into anything. Wipe and then flashed to both slots.

I never bothered to relock the bootloader before and had no issues. Im planning on rooting later if can fix the google play certification error.

The only new thing I notice is that OEM unlocking is greyed out which don't think I've had before. I've had issues with Google Play Certification on some occasion when the phone is rooted but never when reinstalled to factory..

What can look for in order to debug or find the root issue?

I can see there is plenty of errors in relation android.hardware.secure_element, vendor and Bluetooth.

Just cautious incase a new clean install and recovery would cause more issue.
