Yea I tried to enter safemode many times, unfortunately it never works. Each time I try now, hit the vol down when animation starts, it takes me to fastboot!

I will try the OTA next, maybe these will work!! Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Safe Mode is definitely a challenge to get into until you get used to it. So you followed these directions for it exactly?

Press your phone's power button.

When the animation starts, press and hold your phone's volume down button. Keep holding it until the animation ends and your phone starts in safe mode.

You'll see "Safe mode" at the bottom of your screen.

As far as I know, the animation is after it's possible to get into fastboot mode, but maybe something else is going on here.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
Yep, tried it many times, same way, it originally just rebooted and most recently reboots into fastboot each time.

I just successfully flashed the OTA image via sideload. Everything seemed to work and flash properly. Someone mentioned full factory image could require more space, so was hoping OTA was the answer....

Unfortunately it gets to animation, then eventually reboots.

Never had this many issues with a phone before, what could cause this while each image flashes "successfully"?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I wish I knew what else to suggest. About the only option left seems to be to use the Android Flash Tool including a full wipe. I would allow it to force flash all partitions and just untick the option to re-lock the bootloader so it stays unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
When your phone is rebooting/bootlooping, start holding the Volume down button when the screen is blank, before any logos start to appear. That should put you in safe mode.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
Appreciate all the help guys, but nothing is working. This did get me into fastboot quicker, skipping the animation but that's about it.

I tried flashing A side only, B side only, both sides, and both factory and OTA images, same. I can get to Animation each time, but eventually reboots. Amazing how filling up space from camera could have caused this!?

Will of coruse have a backup next time, but will also look for a phone with SD card for data so this would most likely never be an issue.

I think as edor has stated not sure there is much left to try. :oops:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
If you're bootloader is unlocked, just downloaded the full factory image (non ota), remove the " -w " command (which wipes data) in the flash-all.bat file and flash away. This will keep your data intact.

The flash tool should do the same thing but doing it manually, you can keep an eye on the progress in the command terminal window to make sure there are no errors.

The data and system partitions are different. Filling up your data partition won't cause corruption like this. They are completely separated partition tables.

Also you tried the flash tool and unchecked wipe and re-lock options?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
I used the PixelFlahser app as well as the online official Android Flash Tool, with all those options unchecked, yes.

Both flashed with no errors although the phone never booted. I will try using ADB directly now and see if that helps!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
So i used adb cli, and it did exactly the same. I am getting some errors though saying

"archive does not contain" and lists several items such as boot.sig, vendor_boot.sig, boot_other.img, odm_dlkm.img, product.sig, system.sig, etc....

Are these important??

I have flashed just using the zip files before with no special unzipping and they have always worked fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That is normal. That happens with every month's update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
Would installing a CUSTOM ROM or 13 Beta make any difference???
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No. Don't go down that road. If you can't get Stable working, then there's something deeper wrong. So you've tried the Android Flash Tool with all default options checked (to wipe, flash all partitions) except not to lock the bootloader? i.e. letting it wipe all your data?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
Actually had all options unchecked. Simply dont want to del data.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I understand that, but there may be no other choice at this point.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
Same this happened yesterday. This is the 3rd time I update and lose all my stuff. Lucky for me I backed up my data this time, but it was annoying. I wish the pixel flasher would have worked (it never loaded past the loading screen). I definitely screwed up by allowing the phone to boot before going back into fastboot and booting to Magisk modified boot.img.

I never had this much issue updating a rooted phone in the past. It makes me wonder if greenify, pdanet, Franco Kernel Manager, tasker, AdBlocker, call recording, and terminux is worth all the hassle.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
Interesting! So I also forgot to initially modify the boot.img and had to modify on the phone but once I did it booted fine after the initial flash. Not sure if that had any impact longer term?

I agree, I have rooted a few phones over the years and never had this much of an issue, although this is the first for this phone, its still new and I cant really tell what caused it.

I guess one of the main reasons for rooting this phone was monthly updates.

Can you explain how/why you lost your data 3 times already? Not good.

I am very much considering a requirement for a sdcard for my next phone! At least all my data would be there even if the phone/OS crashed and had to be rebooted.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
So my phone is ALIVE again!!!

I think I originally flashed every possible combination of factory image, OTA, slot A/B, etc, May/June Android 12 updates, none worked.

Then I decided to flash the latest Android 13.1 Beta. It also failed. Then the very last combination was this 13.1 beta on the other slot (I think it was A). I left it to flash and went to sleep.

I woke up to my phone sitting at the pattern lock screen! I was like WTF! I almost forgot i flashed this and left it overnight. I entered my original pw, and EVERYTHING was in tack!! Even thought I did not wipe any data, it seems 13.1 flashed and was working fine. I have been using it for 2-3 days now with NO issues. Its very smooth.

I have NOT patched the boot.img yet as I dont want to reboot just yet. I have done a full android backup and backed up all my data. At this point I am ok if it failed. Interestingly I did have over 15GB of storage available so that was prob not a concern.

Crazy one, but thanks to everyone who helped.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow. Thanks for sharing. It's nice when perseverance pays off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
I took a similar route. I flashed the 13.3 update zip via recovery to get it to boot again. At least I could access my data this way. Then I used the Google flash tool to get back to Android 12. Too much of what I need is not yet supported on 13 for me to use that daily. I sure hope recovery devs take interest in the Pixel soon.
[App Stores] Skyica:
Since Google in 2014 introduced the requirement of providing a physical address that is displayed publicly on Google Play (for developers selling paid apps or in-app products), there has been some discussion about this.

I'm thinking about solutions to this for independent developers who are uncomfortable with making their (full) name and home address public.

Examining apps on Google Play (paid / with in-app products, updated in 2022) I find that developers have provided different things as their address, all apparently without Google suspending their accounts or sale of apps:

no information at all ("Address" does not appear under "Developer Contact")

just the country

just city and country

a PO box address

full address but no name

Actually there are few app where the name and full address of the developer is displayed.

So it seems that Google doesn't really care about it. Still I'm not comfortable with doing something against the law.

So I wonder about the following:

Is it even against the law or against the agreement with Google? - in the developer distribution agreement I can find nothing about it, and from what I read here only the consumer protection laws of the European Union require it, so if I only distribute the app outside the EU, is the address still required?

Did some developer have his account / app suspended because of this?

Did Google (or someone else for that matter) contact a developer with the physical address?

Would it be better to provide city and country or to provide no information at all (it seems a bit fraudulent to me to declare something as address which is not an address)?
[App Stores] Creepies:
As a solo dev, I looked into this quite a bit and from other places it seems they don't actually check.

I provided my local post office address rather than my own.

It's been over a year and still good so far but my apps don't have many downloads yet.

The thing I don't understand is you have this law clearly saying someone selling something needs to provide a physical address.

On the other hand you have GDPR which states that personal data should not be disclosed unless the user wants to do so - I should be able to tell Google, no this is my home address, I do NOT want it disclosed.

So these two laws are in direct conflict, I can't find anywhere that addresses that conflict.
[App Stores] Skyica:
Just wanted to report that I solved this problem by registering a company (US LLC) and getting a virtual address for it.

While this is of course time consuming and will cost you at least a few hundred dollars, it was easier and cheaper than I initially thought. And you can register a US company also if you don't live in the US, you don't even have to travel there.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Journyman16:
I've been a long time Samsung user. I've been steadily getting more disillusioned with their phones - to get something decent means going beyond my price range or I have to look at 2nd hand.

The only negative I saw for this phone is that it gets warm when playing processor/graphics intensive games, but even there, a couple of the comments suggested it wasn't as hot as Samsungs got. And I'm not one of those game players.

The first thing I found was the ease with which all my apps and data came over to the 11t Pro. I am not sure how it is that the experience from a Samsung to the Xiaomi was much simpler and easy than Sasung to Samsung, but it was.

Previously, for example, I would lost my game scores - the app comes over but all counters were back to 0. With this transfer, everything came over as it was on the previous phone. I didn't have to set up wallpapers either - unlike Samsung it brought them across and set them for me.

It will take me a while to get used to the charging - I was at 67% and 9 mins later at 100%.

Then there's the usage. I often spend 20+ minutes playing 2 simple games - Blocks and Wordscapes. On the s20+ that would be 4% or even 5% of battery - on this beast it hadn't left 100%, although about 5 minutyes later it ticked down to 99%.

It took some time to get things approx how I want them - there's an annoying thing where I can drag an icon right to create a new screen but I can't drag it back again and it doesn't matter if there's another icon on that screen or not. (any hints on that would be great - having to delete an icon then create it on the screen I want it on is an irritation but when it's a FOLDER with multiple apps in it...?)

I'd also like to increase the number of icon lines and columns per screen - I'm used to Nova which let me set up 7x8, meaning I could use the screen real estate far more effectively. I haven't tried Nova on this yet as I want to get the Xiaomi experience down first.

Sounds are great, easily better than the S20+ and I feel like this phone lets PowerAmp unleash its full range - on the Samsung it didn't seem that impressive but on this phone, adding bass, boosting treble and widening the 3D soundscape is awesome.

I'll use this for a while and then look into unlocking the bootloader and rooting - I like to decide what I want on my phone. There were too many apps on the S20+ that you can't remove without root and I was disappointed with the phone early enough that I didn't want to root it and risk a resale.

But this is an impressive phone and I haven't even played with the photo and video goodies yet! :D
[MTCD Software Development] blala:
This is the Android 10 recovery image by HCT (version 10.3.1) patched to skip signature checking on .zip files

Tested on MTCE_LM (Eunavi). Use at your own risk

It can be flashed from a root shell (either adb or via terminal emulator) by performing the following steps

1. upload recovery via adb

adb push hct_recovery_patched.img /sdcard/

2. flash recovery

# backup current recovery
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery_backup.img
# write new recovery
dd if=/sdcard/hct_recovery_patched.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery

NOTE: If you do not disable the "flash_recovery" service in /init.rc, AND you have a stock kernel, recovery will be restored to the original version after rebooting.

There are 3 ways to avoid this:

- Flash magisk (or a modified kernel) while in recovery. The patch will then fail to apply and recovery won't be overwritten

- Disable "flash_recovery" by doing "adb remount" and editing /init.rc (comment out the following)

service flash_recovery /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
class main
oneshot

- Neuter the service by either:

- removing /system/bin/install-recovery.sh​

- replacing /system/bin/install-recovery.sh with a dummy script​

- removing /system/recovery-from-boot.p​

Woo-hoo, after hundreds of rubbish posts in the MTCD forums, we have a real development post!

Great work and thanks for sharing this, these forums need more like you.
[MTCD Software Development] blala:
Thanks for the kind comment!

I have to admit that it was frustrating to see the lack of information sharing on this forum, and the pervasive pay-per-use model.

I spent a lot of time just getting Android 10 installed (starting from Android 9), and i had to bring the head unit to my desk as working in the car was rather hard and all i achieved was a brick.

I unfortunately had to bring it back in the car now (can't sit on my desk forever) but, now that i figured out how to make bootable recoveries, i was wondering how hard it could be to have TWRP or at least a hassle-free recovery to install Android 10 from Android 9.

As a first step, this recovery makes it possible to install Magisk or other zip files without doing it manually within adb.

Cheers!
[MTCD Software Development] jamal2367:
Your work is really good!

Thanks a lot for it.

Now you can also modify ROM's without signatur errors when installing.

Wouldn't it be good if we had an app like the ModInstaller ?

So a one click installation of the recovery without shell or adb.
[MTCD Software Development] jamal2367:

And now need help.

Namely, in the app is the recovery and the script.

Unfortunately, the flash process is not started.

It always comes only the first message from the script.

[MTCD Software Development] blala:
If by image you mean firmware image then yes, it can be done with https://github.com/liftoff-sr/rockchip-tool

But what i would recommend is the modded recovery only, with the magisk .zip to use in Recovery

Otherwise you risk flashing a kernel that doesn't match with kernel modules or is otherwise not fully compatible with the installed system

MTCD has separate boot and recovery partitions.

Perhaps you can adapt both recovery/kernel to be in the same image but the bootloader won't know about that (and will always boot from "recovery" partition)
