Yes. Whatever version you have installed, you can find a suitable root image from the link:

xdroms

Download xdroms for free. None

sourceforge.net

Then, it's a matter of typing fastboot flash boot rooted_boot.img and fastboot boot rooted_boot.img (with rooted_boot being whatever image you're running).

I'm currently running the latest Global Stable version, so the root I flashed was [ROOT]miui_STARIDGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAIDXM_8e7ececfcf_12.0_by_XD
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
There is also [ROOT]miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0_by_XD.7z

Which one is best for the latest Global stable 13.0.2.0? It also says [Root], what does it mean? It is already rooted? As far as I know with the fastboot method you need to patch the boot.img via magisk first and than flash it via adb
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
It's a pre-patched boot.img file
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
So we just need to flash it, but which one of the two?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] BigDisplay:
I wait to for the TWRP and im happy for that, Miu 12.5.20 is rock stable... All i want for my phone ✌🏻
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] GODSPD:
you got it working?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Yes I did very easy
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] AliasFaux:
how does one extract a boot.img from a recovery rom as fast boot only goes up to 12.xxx rom for EAA. if you install fastboot rom and use the boot.img to patch it works but once you update OTA to the latest 13.xxx you loose root. is that where you use the install via magisk using OTA option after updating before you reboot, to keep the root?

12L is stable enough to carry me anyway
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Embarrassing
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jcp2:
I agree. Updates should roll out to Newest flagships first, then older phones second.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FoneWatcher:
What is embarrassing?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Tomatot-:
Another delay.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Oh my, thought we had gotten past this, lol. Oh well, I'm on 12L anyway so wasn't going to flash the March build. But still...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jiggs82:
March build is 12L though
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As far as I'm aware, there is still just plain "12", and the just-released stable "12L". It's also my impression that the final release of 12L that just came out, didn't come out for the Pixel 6 or Pro yet, and that both 12 and 12L with March updates for the P6/Pro will come out later this month.

Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It was reported in several places that there would be 1 more Beta or RC release for 12L before it went stable. But for other devices it does appear that March is 12.1. So we'll have to see what they do with this device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
SP2A.220305.013.A3

We have the build number... Just release it ffs.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
This is getting kinda ridiculous at this point, right?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Unless Google wants to cut a new build, I don't think we'll have to wait the whole week. Maybe they'll drop it on a Friday again.

Or maybe it's at 5:00 today and they're simply covering their asses with the "later this month" wording.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jiggs82:
No it's not it's 12L aka 12.1 https://9to5google.com/2022/03/07/pixel-march-22-security-patch/
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jiggs82:
Yeah maybe for the Pixel 6 but idk because they don't mention it in today's blogs and support pages just states that we're get the update later this month https://9to5google.com/2022/03/07/pixel-march-22-security-patch/

Btw this is probably why it's delayed

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
wtf are Google doing! Only 2 releases came on time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Although I'm surprised this happened, I'm still not overly concerned. If the update was ready for our phone right now, they would release it.

Thanks! I wondered - I saw a reference to 12.1 somewhere but at the time it wasn't obvious to me that 12.1 was 12L merged with 12.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
To anyone whom this might concern: please stop using abbreviations for getting around the swear filter.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FoneWatcher:
I don't mind delays because I never take updates until I wait and see reports on them first.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scott.hart.bti:
Seriously? Again? Yea.... Why would you make sure your NEWEST FLAGSHIP receives updates on time? Google is an absolute joke. How pathetic.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jiggs82:
All good bro it's still confusing but anyways that's Google lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
The 6-series changelog is most of the Pixel Bulletin. It'll be worth the wait if the only delay is because of a dangerous 0-day exploit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Easy solution: Charge $1 for every swear, whether abbreviated or not. Freeze account until the swear jar has been topped up.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pogo-airsupport:
I can see a class action suit happening for the 6-series. Basically receives everything slower.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Well, the delay in the update doesn't appear to be because of the vulnerability mentioned earlier...

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1500939485416206340
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
There does seem to be a ton of fixes though, so should be worth the wait (famous last words 🙃)

Google Pixel Update - March 2022 - Google Pixel Community
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
It's a shame that Google only managed to get a couple of updates out on time and have (again) had to delay montly builds for the 6/Pro, but on the flip-side, I think most users would rather the build isn't released with a major bug & then have to wait another month for Google to address the issue.

I see that the new builds list 12.1 (assume they merged L into 12), but I will be interested to see if there is actually a 12L Beta 4 for the P6/Pro come Wednesday (as per Google's comment on the Android Beta sub-reddit), or if they just completely misspoke, but that would be rather odd as A13 Beta 1 won't be live for a number of months.

edit: for what it's worth, the "at a Glance" widget thing is already available, even without March update - I saw "Settings Services" update on the Play store earlier and seems you can use that already... unsure if this is just for 12L Beta 3 though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sultan.of.swing:
It's a never ending cycle, update delayed due to bugs found, update releases 3 weeks later and has new bugs.

I'm tired of being a beta hardware/software tester.

This phone has made me want to go back to an iOS device more than any other device I've ever used.

Had 3 reboots today while using Android auto.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scott.hart.bti:
Removed. No sense in continuing to whine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BlaaaaazedUp:
Man, some of you act like of you don't get the update ASAP, your phone will disintegrate into ashes or something. Do you want a bug filled update or one that ACTUALLY does some good. You complain about updates breaking things but then complain that they are taking too long lolol. Wow!

Of all the flavors that exist in the world, you choose to be salty 😂
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I think the general disappointment is that there isn’t a strong integration between the software and the new Tensor chip. Many of us assumed it would mean better battery life, highly reliable operation, etc. I gave Google the benefit of the doubt after the December and January updates but this is signaling that the software was not designed around the hardware, and they’re letting users be the beta testers. I love the phone, the clean software experience, the camera, the speakers, and the ability to root but I have to say even the S22 Ultra is delivering a more stable experience. My biggest issue with the P6P is the phone locking to 60 hz in third party apps. Hopefully the March update is buttery smooth and bug free.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Here's an article I came across a while ago about the delays as related to the Tensor chip...

Is the Google Tensor SoC to blame for the Pixel 6’s software issues and update delays?

Signs point to yes

www.androidpolice.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
I am assuming it's a bad idea to dirty flash the march update when it becomes available.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BlaaaaazedUp:
...and that's exactly it. Clearly a lot of people were just hyped about a new pixel and failed to factor in that they would be beta testing brand new hardware. I wouldn't doubt that the pixel 7 hardware will be tweaked and perform a lot better.

We ALL should have known this, going in.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Don't forget that the Pixel 6 Pro has worked completely fine for some of us for four months now. I know some folks have problems with theirs, and others have tons of problems with theirs. But there clearly is integration from the experience with mine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
Why did you pick up a phone with a first generation experimental cpu then? One which comes with a os that won't be on other phones for six months (at least).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sultan.of.swing:
6 months? Hell my S21 ultra has had A12 basically just as long as my p6p and is rock solid.

People just can't or won't admit that Google is just full of a bunch of fresh college grads hungover making buggy software.

And yes I did buy it and yes it will be my last pixel device or probably android device period.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Yeah and the problem is all they care about once launched are the next products to the market, so what you said but not exactly what you meant :).

My biggest problem with these delayed updates, is they still don't fix a fraction of the bugs they say are included, in fact for me some things like bluetooth are 10 times worse with Feb update than ever. Pain in the arse when the phone will not play music to any devices, I don't mind waiting if they fix;

Stupidly slow charging times

Bluetooth constant drops on ALL devices I own

And rediculous battery drain
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] card13:
I'll admit I'm a flashaholic and love being on the bleeding edge, but honestly I'm not seeing as much concerns about Google's delayed releases (mainly because they are actually getting released, just slower). Before someone bites my head off, they have to understand, I came from OnePlus, you want to talk about over-hype then delay then do not deliver. OnePlus 5 had many OS release issues, 8T was extremely horrendous when it came to Global Releases.

So yea, delayed releases suck, but I will take delayed releases over not knowing if your device will get updated drivers.

Curious since someone mentioned DirtyPipe, does anyone know if that affects Windows 11 Windows Subsystem for Linux and Windows Subsystem for Android?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Working out really well for Google using their own silicon, it is more tosser than tensor.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Robdyx:
I'm on the same ship, moved from Nexus to 1+ 5 and later 7 Pro. Even though I still feel the quicker update rate, I'm still disappointed by the fact that this propietary chip is not getting the quickest releases. Well, I'm still hoping for improvements on this side.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
I agree. I don't want them releasing a so-called update that only adds insult to injury. We paid close to a grand for this phone, and the least they could do is make sure we enjoy using it. ☺️
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
I wiped my phone after this last update hoping my battery performance would improve, but it really hasn't, from what I'm seeing. Besides that and the often annoying flash of white when I'm locking the phone (which March's update will resolve), I'm doing just fine on A12.0 for now. No real complaints from me, although my battery situation is a bit of a disappointment.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I'm kinda tinkering around the idea of trying iOS when their new iPhone 14 drops since they're ditching the horrible notch, and to see how the experience is since it's been several years when I had jumped ship.

While I've not had many issues with the P6P, I'm not entirely happy with the device and less than stellar experience in different areas (camera, battery, s/w, backup options, etc).

I believe they could have done better, and I hope the Pixel 7 is a better experience for anyone who decides to go that route. I guess next time I won't buy a brand new phone that's not been established just yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
Do you mean the blinding flash of light? Annoying is not even close to what that is. What were they thinking? As for battery life it is abysmal. Probably the worst in years. Other than that no complaints besides the horrible connectivity after going to a place with none.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
Yes, how can I forget that last part... 5G is a rarity and LTE is always three bars or less. Or none. I know darned well it isn't Verizon's fault, because coverage with my Samsung S10 Plus was incredible. But with this phone, I cannot tell you how dismayed I was when my co-worker had two bars of functional LTE service when I had none (an "!" to the left of the empty bars, as if I didn't know that I had zero connectivity already!) and he had an iPhone with the Mint network. Honestly, what's wrong with that picture?!

Should be perfectly fine, then. It would be the same as taking the OTA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
I've owned the iphone 7 plus and Iphone 10. Those were my last two iphones. Couldn't be more happier after going back to Android. You have more freedom on an android device than on an iphone. macOS and iOS are both built to be used by people who are not system administrators..people like your grandma. So the customization features don't exist. But yeah not everyone is looking for customizations.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
One big thing that would drive me nuts on an iPhone is how slow the Lightning port is (comparable to USB 2.0) versus "modern" USB-C 3.1 Gen 1. I like to keep all my music in local files.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] android_dan:
What I find interesting is the wide gap in satisfaction among Pixel owners. I really don't care about the delay because I'm pretty satisfied with my Pixel. Yeah there are a couple of issues that pop up from time to time but that's with any phone I've ever owned. On the other hand I guess if you are ready to throw the phone in the trash a delayed update is a big deal.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I have to use an iPhone as well for work. Sure it’s “reliable” but is slow and boring. There is almost zero customization and the overdone animations make the phone feel slow. Apple fanboys love to tout benchmarks but in day to day usage, it’s way slower than any Android flagship. It’s also worth mentioning, no always on display, no home screen customization, slow charging, ugly notch rumored to be replaced by even uglier cutouts, no plug and play or side loading apps. If you’re annoyed with the Pixel, jumping to an iPhone is probably not going to satisfy. I have an S22 Ultra fully debloated with custom Pixel theme and it’s amazing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
The only things good about an iphone is the incredible battery life, the fact that all your friends have one and most of your family, and it's brainless to use. But it'll drive you nuts before the contract expires due to boredom.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
I think the problem for me is i keep wishing i still had my Pixel 5, it didn't feel any slower in daily use, it had far superior battery life, it was built like a tank, any old screen protector would work, the finger print sensor was like lightning and the camera was just as good albeit minus the 4x.

I got well and truly sucked in to the Pixel 6 hype with Tensor and the promise of fancy new cameras, and it turns out Tensor is pretty mediocre and seemingly buggy as a buggy thing on national bug day and the cameras are nowt special, marketing eh :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Phone upgrades are really not what they used to be. The differences are pretty minor from one phone to the subsequent one, and even across a few. I sure wouldn't have gone from a 5 to a 6. I actually went from a NEXUS 6 to a Pixel 2XL, BACK to the Nexus 6, and then to the Pixel 6. Performance wise, they're all adequate.

Basically, I switch when the upstream support ceases. Once both the N6 and the P2XL were out from upstream support, they were both on "community" support, which was actually better on the N6, so combined with the better (i.e. WIDER) display, it made sense to switch back to it until the P6P was available.

As far as comparing the cameras on all of those... the N6's "back at you" camera is notably bad, which is a function of the age. But the "away from you" camera quality is about the same all the way through. P6P has a bit of advantage with the two extra sensors, but that's about it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
I was about to go from my S10 Plus to the S22U myself, but then I was distracted by the Pixel 6 Pro hype, and thought that perhaps a change would be good. That said, I've been a passenger on Samsung's rollercoaster through hell throughout it's Note series debacles, so I don't want to criticize Google too much, too soon. I truly want to love and appreciate this phone the same way I had for my S10+, so waiting a handful of days more for an update is totes fine with me, as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p51d007:
Guess I'm the odd duck. Not had any trouble with mine, but, I've only had it just shy of 2 months.

Other than the LTE signal is a little worse than my previous phone (samsung A71 5G), I'm happy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pro_b:
I find this to be one of the most entertaining responses I've read in this thread so far. I have the Pixel 6 Pro, the S22 Ultra, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I love android and iOS equally for different reasons. In day to day usage my iphone has been phenomenal. I love the Pixel for it's camera and being able to root and tweak it. However, majority of people I know who don't subscribe to an android tech forum don't customize their phone anymore than iPhone users. Both platforms have their issues but it's a pretty old argument playing the vs. game. Like what you like and leave it at that. What's the point of defending your choice of android by belittling someone else's choice of iOS? And again for the record I choose both.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Better approach is to blast everything. The main reason to go with a pixel is to eliminate the spyware/trackerware that comes with EVERYTHING (including pixel). Try clean AOSP or GrapheneOS withOUT the goobleware. Fruit or any other Android hardware vendor doesn't give you the option to strip the spyware/trackerware.

If these last two years of hell have taught anybody anything, its that you need to do everything you can to defend every bit of your rights and privacy that you possibly can, because the powers that be want to take it all from you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sultan.of.swing:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimwebb:
As a fairly new Pixel 6 Pro owner, I have to say it's rather disappointing that the first update that I was excited about getting is not coming out at the same time as all other Pixel devices. Google continues to let those who purchase their latest phones, down.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Yeah I am with you on battery life, my old Pixel 4XL kills this phone for battery life, I pretty much can't get a day out of the phone, using exactly the same as any previous old phones over the past 5 years. In fact because of the battery issue I am probably using this phone less
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
I had the P5 for over a year and never (never, ever) plugged it in during the day. I ran with Strava, watched the news for an hour a day, some streaming music and on internet pretty much all day including these forums. So I'm not a heavy user, not many phone calls but I would plug it in at night around 50-60% routinely. I have 5 hours to go in the day now and I'm sitting at 51% without Strava today. The reason I got it was the larger battery too. I can't understand what they did. Is it the display, the network drain, I've given up basically trying to figure it out. This is really my only complaint other than the usual stuff and quirks that make each of us crazy in our own ways. I'm hoping that the update will at least help some of the battery issues but I don't really hold out much hope. I just plug it in now which I'm about to do so I don't have to wait hours for a full charge before bedtime. None of my apps are misbehaving either according to BBS and AccuB.

PS but I do love the phone and I'm glad I got it. lol Hopefully the P7 will fix a bunch of stuff which I'll preorder day 1 depending on price. I got nearly 400 for the P5 so I really can't complain too too much.

I was nervous after seeing all the issues people were having before buying the p6p, but I have to say. It's been great and I haven't had any of the issues people have been reporting. I even got my wife the p6 and she hasn't had any issues either. I wonder if some of the problems are coming from the different carrier versions? (Verizon and their locked bootloader etc) I bought the unlocked fi edition. Has anyone looked into that at all?
