Keep splash screen visible until the main window shows up.

Under the hood improvements and bug fixes, improved logging and refactoring code.

Something triggers windows ''virus detected'' warning with the latest version, even completely disabling windows defender doesn't stop it.. (which is clearly more of a flaw of windows)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
As it is stated in the OP, there not much I can do for false positives.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kingpeppermint:
I understand, he didn't do it before now it does for some reason, but maybe the craziest is i have all windows defender things turned off, turns out to be very hard to really turn it off. Microsoft is a forced device nanny apperently.. (makes me wonder what more they have running in the background whilst claiming to be switched off, anyway sorry for my frustration rant i will not go futher offtopic

the Pixelflasher software itself is great really impressed with it's feature growth and update speed.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HueyT:
Used this software to patch A15 DP1 boot with magisk 27 to root A15 DP1 (unzip rom into zip file with boot.img, use PF to process this file to extract boot.img and patch with magisk 27, then flash boot.img with PF) 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] crypticc:
Hello badabing

I'm sure you know how brilliant your tool is, I've but been using this since early 2002 on my pixel 5, and after using this for the upteenth time to update my Pixel 6 Pro with Pixel 14 pre-rooted with Magisk I just wanted to say so myself. Thank you!

Yes extracting a factory zip is easily done. And I have the ability to patch the boot.img and repack into the zip. And yes, I have at other times modified the flash-all.bat file to remove the -w to keep the data. And finally after all that I could then boot into fastboot and run the requisite commands to flash onto my device.

But

then your tool even makes those simple-ish steps seem like an absolute chore and so I now use your tool every time.

Thanks again for such an awesome tool !

Chris

Guys, please ask for help. I bought a 6pro. I got Android 14 when the 3.5 update. Then I flashed it with pixelfasher. The image is Android 14 when the in February update. After flashing, I cycled through the bl interface and restarted several times. The screen turned black and became bricked. Pressing nothing now has no effect,Can't enter fastboot mode, can't adb. Please save me.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
- No Need for tripple post.

- No need to start a new thread when there is a support thread.

- Github is for bugs and feature requests, not for support.

- And most importantly, have you read the guide? I'm inclined to think that you proceeded without reading, because had you done so, you would have known that the only way I can help you is by providing support file.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xzrvr:
APatch doesn't work for me, latest p6p factory file with latest pixel flasher, tried clean flashing After flashing patched APatch image the app doesn't seem to detect root no matter how hard I try. Am I missing something?

Edit: im actually a retard didnt press superkey button after install (wiped phone twice); im good now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
Provide support file or nobody will know for sure
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
Yep, always a good idea, though in this case it wouldn't have help me, other than tell him everything looks good.

He needed to activate it in the app by entering the superkey, which PF can't track.

please help me unlock bootloader please i need help iv tried everything to unlock

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
No i did not unlock it in developer mode and now I don't have an OS - basically my phone is just between fastbootmode and recovery mode

I have tried

fastboot flashing unlock and fastboot OEM unlock and it didn't work
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
how can i know if my phone is unlockable?

its a google pixel 6 - no carrier " I mean international"
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
this one requires oem unlocking through phone UI - which I can access
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Thebear j koss:
How do you have no OS? Can't have no OS if your bootloader is locked. If need be flash a stock boot image to get a working phone. No idea why you are stuck between fastboot and recovery....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
how do i flash a stock boot image

adb sideload?

it didn't work - stops at 43%

Any other way?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Thebear j koss:
How are you flashing? With Pixel Flasher? What happens when it stops? Does it error? I have no idea what you are doing. Provide logs with whatever you are doing exactly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Given all of these questions are in the PixelFlasher thread, would it be naive to ask if you have tried using PixelFlasher itself to flash the stock image QPR3, rather than ADB or Fastboot?

Have you tried starting the phone in safe mode?

Press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons for a few seconds. On your screen, tap and hold either the Power off or Restart buttons. Tap OK.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
You can't. Your bootloader is locked.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
Please, since you're using pixelflasher, try again then submit your support file to this thread, per the first post in the thread, everyone is guessing because you aren't providing enough details. The supoort file will probably tell @badabing2003, or maybe even one of us, exactly why you are having troubles
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
Here are the following steps that I have taken:

installed

Android SDK tools

adb & Fastboot

My current state is:

1. my phone is stuck in recovery mode loop:

so it tells me to do a factory data reset and when I select that another screen to confirm data reset.

this throws an error:

ERROR: on recovery: [libfs_mgr] Unable to enable ext4 verity [libfs_mgr] /dev/block/platform/14700000.ufs/by-name/metadata /system/bin/tune2fs is missing

ERROR: recovery: DM DEV_CREATE failed for [system_a]: Device or resource busy

ERROR: recovery: Could not create logical partition system a as device system_a

ERROR: recovery: Unable to map partitions to complete merge.

Unable to check merge status and/or complete update merge. Unable to check update status or complete merge, cannot wipe partitions.

2, I can go into the other recovery mode where I can apply update from ADB and that's why I tried to sideload the ota and factory image but both fail at 43%

Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>".

Supported API: 3

Finding update package...

Verifying update package..

Update package verification took 121.2 s (result 0).

Installing update...

Error applying update: 1 (ErrorCode::kError)

ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

Install from ADB completed with status 1.

Installation aborted.

3. I tried android flash tool and it doesn't download the file because OEM is locked.

4. I tried fastboot flashing unlock& fastboot OEM unlock and bothsend me this error:

FAILED (remote: 'flashing unlock is not allowed')

fastboot: error: Command failed

FAILED (remote: 'Invalid oem command unlock')

fastboot: error: Command failed

4. I tried pixel flasher and pixel flasher sent me the same error - bootloader is locked.

I have attached the support zip file from pixelflasher

Is my phone bricked?

What is the stock image QPR3 and where can I download it from ? If that's the factory image then I already tried it.

What can I do that doesn't require the bootloader to be unlocked?

Thanks for your help
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Did you try safe mode?

There are a few old threads on f2fs errors. Usually when someone has wiped recovery partitions previously, then relocked bootloader, screwing up vbmeta along the way. Try looking at them.

Have you previously had a custom rom, like LOS?

The QPR is the latest image on the Google download site. If their flash tool doesn't work with that, seek out the latest Android 15 beta, and try that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
yes I tried safe mode - it brings me back to recovery mode to factory reset data

What is f2f error?

I never wiped any partitions - all I did was a factory reset using the phones UI then when it restarted - I got stuck in this recovery mode state to factory reset data

I never even got to a stage where I unlocked and relocked bootloader

No I never used LOS or custom from - It was the standard anroid updates i get on my phone. ( Again all i did was a factory reset and it restarted and i got stuck here)

I tried the latest image on google site - i also tried the beta using flasher - all give the error for bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Tune2fs is in your error message, as is verity.

Try to google the errors, as you may find others who solved your problem.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shoey63:
It seems to happen when you try to downgrade without a wipe.

For example, a user tries a beta, then tries to go back to stable without wiping by sideloading the latest stable ota.zip.

Did you do that? Can't see it mentioned.

Anyway the issue is normally compounded by not enabling OEM unlock in developer options, which would enable unlocking the bootloader and force flashing all partitions with factory images therefore properly wiping the phone.

But if this hasn't been done you are in a state where you can't unlock the phone and you can't wipe.

In that case you are hardbricked.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
yikes

how do i unbrick?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sk007777:
also i didnt downgrade - I used the latest OTA files and Latest factory images
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shoey63:
Sounds like a bad sideload flash then.

But why take the risk of updating on a PC when your bootloader is locked? You could have just taken it OTA🤔

Anyway, it seems your situation is unrecoverable without a warranty repair or replacement.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
Please follow the guide and flash the latest OTA using PixelFlasher and then provide a support file again.

The one you provided doesn't show anything.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] badabing2003:
See this.

Some Pixel 6 owners say factory resets have bricked their phones

It’s probably best not to reset your phone for a bit.

July 14, 2024 v7.1.1.0 change log:

Windows versions of PixelFlasher are now signed (self-signed).

Hopefully this would cut down on false positive virus / trojan alerts, but it should also get rid of Unrecognized app warnings.

PixelFlasher.crt is the certificate, and ca_badabing2005.crt is the root CA.

Bugfix: #221 handle a corner case exception.
