Okay. The android beta program was messing with an app I use regularly so I backed up my phone on google 1 and all that fun stuff then did the opt out and just ran stuff like it was supposed to. Then, it got stuck in fastboot mode and said that the installation failed. If this wasn't already obvious I'm not good at talking tech but I am decent at troubleshooting things, so I tried. Today I learned what fastboot and adb are, what sideloading is, stuff like lineageos and twrp if. If that's what that one was called, today is a blur. Okay let me be more specific.

It seems like what I need to do is sideload the right OTA image, but I can't find the one I need. The last two I tried, one being the very wrong one and one being (copied from official source):

12.1.0 (SQ3A.220705.003, Jul 2022)	Link	e66e2df393d5a0f885f62d2de086dcd80cdcf8eb28d567f4582ff67756876170

But this one also wasn't new enough? It says: error: recovery: update package is older than the current build, expected a build newer than the timestamp 1657306786 but package has timestamp 1654117437 and downgrade not allowed.

I've tried the flashing tool (my phone shows up but has a connection issue I couldn't fix), the google rescue mode tool (my phone connected but the browser tool just looped til the phone timed out), I've tried sideloading the twrp apk and such which didn't work due to "error: closed" which I also couldn't fix, but I'm pretty sure all these problems are caused by not having developer options and debugging and those things turned...whichever way they need to be.

If this is important, I'm in Canada, using Telus, the phone is still fairly new and was working perfectly I just had to opt in and then out of the android beta. Kicking myself for that now. If I need to be more specific I'll try but for now, can I unbrick my phone without taking it somewhere to be unbricked for me? I also don't have an SD card to use to do it that way. Thank you.

what was the error you got in Android Flash Tool?

I checked with all the troubleshooting tips for connection issues but nothing changed the status. Sometimes it would say already in use when I had the cmd open but then I use kill-server to free it up and it changes to this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
Is your bootloader unlocked? If it isn't (and if Telus is like the US phone carriers), then I don't think you would be able to revert back to Android 12. You will have to wait for Android 13 to officially launch and you can then manually flash the full image (as it seems that you cannot sideload the OTA). And you would have to manually flash the latest full Android 13 beta build for the time being.

Regardless, right now you should try looking into "platform-tools" here on XDA. Then, see if you can use adb to view your phone over USB connection with the stock Google USB cable that came with the phone (most random aftermarket cables work fine, however, a few do not seem to work). You would need USB Debugging enabled to do this, however, the phone may still respond since you had it fall into fastboot mode before (and you would essentially be using adb to put your phone into fastboot mode).

Leave a reply if you can put your phone into fastboot mode/if you can use adb. We can go further from there with what I know about this stuff.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lilyhollow:
Bootloader is locked. It's permanently stuck in fastboot mode, except when I switch to recovery or rescue, and then if I reboot the phone it goes into fastboot. When I use adb and use "adb devices" my device shows up as [devicenumber] sideload. Other adb commands won't work due to "error: closed" which I assumed was because debugging was off. Only thing I got to work so far was sideloading OTA, and you see how that went. But I do have platform-tools and adb and fastboot set up. So that's something. My USB cord is aftermarket but does seem to work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jcp2:
are you using These drivers? for windows. which version of windows are you running? I think @NippleSauce is correct in that if you don't have usb debugging enabled (you don't) you'll have to wait for A13 final. Or, if you're in your 30 day return window.....take it back to Telus.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
Sorry, I've been eating and lifting weights at almost the same time LOL. I also just got the Pixel Buds Pro in the mail (a day before the official release) and they are freaking amazing.

Anyway, since the phone keeps going into fastboot, perhaps we can move forward. What does the screen say on it when in fastboot? There are two different fastboot menus: regular "fastboot" and "fastboot d".

Feel free to post a screenshot if you have something to take a picture of the display with. We'll move forward from there once I'm done lifting =).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DespairFactor:
how are those compared to the pixel buds a?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
Holy shirtless cow with nine udders good. I'm really liking them. The 11mm drivers really amp up the quality and separation in the sound. I think they're quite close in sound quality to my Sennheiser True Wireless 3's - so I think the price makes it a good deal on today's market. But the thing that makes them such a good deal is that the transparency mode is awesome and is clear and audible to the point where you can't even tell via the audio that you're wearing earbuds. And on top of that, the noise cancellation is some scientific voodoo with its strength for specific sounds. Some light (and semi-enjoyable) sounds pass right through; like me typing on my keyboard or clicking my computer mouse. But other sounds that are generally more noticeable such as people speaking or audio from cellphones is completely gone. It's pretty weird but is very good!

And to top it off, I am also pretty poor in hearing after an sTBI a few years ago. Audio was important to me before the incident, and therefore has become more important to me now. But since my left ear hears sound in a way that makes the sound that goes to my brain sound like people speaking in Charlie Brown, I guess take my opinions with a grain of salt lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] truckerdewd:
I opted out of the A13 beta and ran into the sane issue as my bootloader is locked. I was able to get back to A12.

I Googled it and found that you need to use the volume buttons to scroll to recovery and select by pressing the power button. You will then see a screen that says no command, hold the power button and tap volume up and you will be in recovery mode. Scroll down and select install from ADB. You will need to place the most recent A13 OTA zip in platform tools which is what I use for all of my ADB stuff or whatever you use for ADB installation. DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME. Once you have selected install from ADB on your device, type adb install (file name.zip), if you don't include.zip behind the file name, it will error out.

Once you hit enter, your device will say verifying file and you will see the percentage on the pc screen in adb. Once it completes the installation, reboot your device and skip through the setup. Once you skio through setup and get to the home screen, go into settings and go to where you check for updates, it should say update available,if not do a manual check. Once you are prompted about an update, select to download and install. It will install A12 with all the warnings about it wiping your device. Once this install completes and you restart, you will be back on A12.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lilyhollow:
Thank you everyone! Someone helped me out over telegram after I posted this and we worked through it, realized part of the problem was my cord, and then mostly fixed it the way truckerdewd said, except once android 13 was loaded, I used the Android Flash tool to set it back to 12 and it worked. I'm typing this from a working phone and very happy about it. <3

On a side note how are those fancy new ear buds comfort wise? I have a lot of trouble with pain from ear buds and only use really comfy over ear headphones that I like but I'm desperate for ear buds I don't hate.

Follow the instruction of your OS (GrapheneOS or CalyxOS) as normal, then just before locking the bootloader back follow the guide here. The end result is a OS with Magisk and root, but the bootloader can not be lock again (because of the root process).

So, if you would like to be able to record call, block advertisement and enjoy your device because it is your freedom to do with your device what ever you want, root your OS.

PS, if security is more important then privacy, rooting is not the way to go, at the moment I didnt find how to maintain both
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Old news.

And technically, you CAN relock the bootloader if you wanted to, by resigning everything. There's links (somewhere, you'll have to search for it) to a program on git that someone wrote to do this, but I haven't tried it.

The reality is that locking the bootloader really doesn't do much for you. It might protect you a BIT if you lose physical control over it, but when you lose physical control over a device, you have to assume that its been compromised anyway.
[Google Pixel 6] shoey63:
Locking the bootloader will be essential in the future when Google enforces Hardware Backed attestation for those who use contactless payments.

This is good to know.

It's all in This thread

Edit: More reading Here
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Your links seem to be showing something about current issues that people are having, not about something "in the future" regarding enforcement of locked bootloader.

Edit: what I'm looking for is some statement from gooble that they intend to make some changes with respect to this, otherwise it appears to be just speculation.

Edit 2: The subject is also pretty off topic, since there's a good chance that it doesn't come into play at all with graphene or calyx, both of which do NOT include integrated binary gooble services. Graphene goes to a lot of trouble to make it installable, but strongly isolated from everything else, which includes restricting hardware status flags from being readable by it. Calyx promotes microG.
[Google Pixel 6] HQwarp:
It may be old news for you, I didnt find it anywhere. That is why I posted it here, just in case there are people like me that looking for that answer.

Asking in the GrapheneOS chats, I only got an answer that rooting is not supported and not recommended.

Since I'm using call recorder to my work and will be glad to block advertisements locally, and god forbid, I also would like to use either Graphene or CalyxOS.

I dont see other way around it unless using root.

Can you please send your links for looking back the bootloader? that will be awesome. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Use the search bar at the top of the screen, or read through all the other threads in the 6 and 6pro forums, that's what I would have to do to find it for you.
[Google Pixel 6] HQwarp:
Very sad respond from you. You can be helpful and point me to the right direction and with less arrogance attitude of yours...

XDA is a place to share knowledge, not to show your arrogance on how good you are to type in google search.

FYI, if anyone want to sign the bootloader after using Magisk this is probably the way
[Google Pixel 6] TechX1991:
Rooting Graphene/Calyx/LeOS/DivestOS/eOS/CopperHead completely defeats t he purpose as now it gives potentially a malicious app root abilities.

As the head of Graphene's Twitter once said "but why... that opens so many security risk doors"|

You can't re-lock the bootloader with root unless you create a new avb-key. Don't bother rooting security roms, its pointless.
[Google Pixel 6] HQwarp:
Yes, you are right, it is lowering the security of the phone. But, that's ok, each one with his use case of attack. If it is ok for you to use your phone without sudo, good for you. Since I'm not Edward Snowden and I'm not afraid to use sudo on my machines, and when I do, I know enough when and how to use it.

Therefore, I don't see why I can't use sudo on my phone. Especially when some of us do need our phone to perform tasks that currently are not supported by Security oriented OS as you mentioned, AND also do want to lower our information footprint on the net. For this case using sudo on the formation ROMs seems ideal.
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Very sad that you expect to be spoon fed when you have the capacity to search for yourself.

this is that script mentioned earlier which will allow you to resign the rom to allow you to lock the bootloader with Magisk https://xdaforums.com/t/script-to-r...s-and-add-adb-root-and-other-changes.4440367/

This is exactly what I needed https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot

I believe so anyway, still actually trying to get it to work, just need to setup android studio as far as I can make out

then you can easily patch the rom with magisk and sign it with your own keys

So how would this work? Would I have to unlock and wipe after every update
[Google Pixel 6] FireRattus:
I have been working on this when I have had time, I have been able to successfully flash Graphene with Magisk and lock the bootloader, turning what I learned into this guide https://xdaforums.com/t/lock-boot-loader-magisk-root-grapheneos.4510295/

I believe there is a way to update with signed OTA files that are patched with Magisk, using AVBRoot that I use in the guide

I haven't figured this part out yet. it took me long enough just to work it out for the firmware/system rom but I will definitely be trying and updating the guide as I learn more about the process
[Google Pixel 6] Spl4tt:
That sounds extremely promising.

Since proton is obsolete now, I'm searching for a rom with sandboxed google play that I can root. Rooting GrapheneOS seems to be the only way for that.

Locking bootlaoder doesn't really matter to me, but rooting graphene and then being able to dirty flash updates later (I don't care about OTAs, even if it's cool and comfortable) is important.

How would you update graphene right now when you're rooted? Just dirty flash the new rom, then flash patched boot.img?
[Google Pixel 6] FireRattus:
If you don't care about locking the boot loader you do lose some physical security advantages of it

but it does make the process easier, I believe you should just be able to use AVBRoot as it's intended

[Google Pixel 6] Frankenscript:
Hi folks,

Weird thing happening to me while I'm out of the country on vacation. Being out of the country is probably irrelevant though.

I'm in a hotel that has crappy slow "captive portal" wifi. So, you connect to the SSID without password, and it redirects you to a login page (name/room number), then it provisions the device.

The wifi frequently hangs or disconnects here, and is super slow even when it is working, so I decided to bail and just use my phone's mobile data. So I went into Internet and turned off the wifi. Slid that switch to OFF.

Looked down an hour later when I had trouble connecting to a site and found the wifi was back on and connected to the hotel site. I turned it off again, but shortly the same thing happened again.

Eventually I turned off the other part, where it can scan in the background for improved location etc, and THAT seems to have stopped the problem, but why does the wifi keep turning on and connecting when I've explicitly switched it off?

Bug? Feature?
