Quick question. Can you update Magisk from within the app? I.e. just hit the 'update' button. Seems like I remember reading a while ago that you shouldn't, but that might have been during the old TWRP days. Also init_boot is patched with 25.2, will it matter if the app is updated to 26.1?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] madmuthertrucker:
I always just update it from the app. Unhide Magisk first, if you hid it. Then select update, choose direct install.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Me too. ^ First, it updates the app, then you can direct install to update the Magisk patch in the init_boot.img.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] weriwd:
Quick question from me: Since I have neglected my software updates, I am still on the December update. Now, I would like to update it to the latest July update using the Google Android Flash Tool. Is it possible to flash the latest update, or do I have to apply each update one by one?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JakeDHS07:
You can always just flash the most recent. Android updates are incremental
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] weriwd:
I was worried in case there is a major update during this period that could mess up and leave me stuck in a boot loop after flashing the latest one. :)

EDIT: Successfully updated with platform tools v33 from December update till July. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Just so I'm clear, are you saying that once I update the app it can patch the already patched init_boot.img without me manually flashing it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
Quick question: as Android 14 is fast approaching, is there a way to check the API level of all my installed apps? (adb command or anything else)

Just fyi, if you guys didn't know, Android 14 will block installing older apps built with API levels below Android 6 (level 23). I think this only affects sideloading though but not entirely sure.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] supermansaga:
I am concerned about safetynetfix and Shamiko whether they can still pull off the hiding of the root so that my work apps and bank apps can continue to work. Maybe the good times will soon be over? That I can't trade in my Pixel 7 pro for pixel 8 pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] badabing2003:
You can use this application and check your Apps (sorry one by one)

Look for Minimal SDK and Target SDK.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] supermansaga:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.absinthe.libchecker can work as well. It shows the apps not one by one? But all in one place. I only have one single app that is below level 23 - the currency converter app by OANDA

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Namelesswonder:
Had to rewrite from memory, sadly it is very slow, pm dump used to run so much faster on 7.0 before they started throwing in the entire state of the system in, making the dump for a single package about 250KB of text, and I didn't optimize it at all I'm doing that twice per package. If I want this to be a general check for everyone I should really clean it up and make it only output apps that match with the ARMv7 instruction set and have 32-bit ARM binaries. Wanted to get this out quickly for you all. Not my best work. :)

You can either run this on your old phone in a terminal emulator or inside an adb shell session.

for PACKAGE in $(pm list packages -3 | sed 's/^package://'); do pm dump "$PACKAGE" | grep -E "^Dexopt state:" -A4 | sed '/Dexopt state/d'; pm dump "$PACKAGE" | grep "Abi"; done

Or run it from a terminal on your computer, although I can't test if it'll work on Windows, it does work on Bash at least

adb shell 'for PACKAGE in $(pm list packages -3 | sed "s/^package://"); do pm dump "$PACKAGE" | grep -E "^Dexopt state:" -A4 | sed "/Dexopt state/d"; pm dump "$PACKAGE" | grep "Abi"; done'

The biggest thing to look for are apps that have dexopt is reporting as 32-bit ARM.

[com.dotgears.flappybird]
path: /data/app/~~onpsF3Fpsv3K4inZ1xPHTw==/com.dotgears.flappybird-n9xmdkcP9p7JlI5scUga-g==/base.apk
arm: [status=verify] [reason=install]
primaryCpuAbi=armeabi-v7a
secondaryCpuAbi=null
cpuAbiOverride=null

Flappy Bird has a primaryCpuAbi of only ARMv7 and dexopt is saying it's 32-bit ARM, so it won't work on the Pixel 7 (until someone maybe makes a ROM or Magisk mod).

Chrome and WebView on the other hand is fine, it has both instruction sets so it will be okay.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the issue with SafetyNet? Because it's interesting that basic integrity does pass but device_integrity doesn't. Might just be we need to wait for CTS Profile?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I am completely ignorant of these aspects of our phones. I leave it to the clever developers. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ScottIsMyName:
I just finished flashing and rooting the .031 version. Root is working of course, but same issue with device Integrity not passing (also showing not play protect certified, which might be the same check)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Basic should be passing, only Device integrity not passing, according to others. I don't even have mine yet, but hopefully within the next few hours.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ScottIsMyName:

If anyone's curious, the init_boot.img provided by @edcsxz exactly matches the one inside the .031 factory image zip. :D
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Humpie:
What's even more annoying, without safety net I cannot even find certain apps in the play store: Revolut, Mario Kart Tour, Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic, Netflix, Disney+ etc... I'm not the only one right?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, it's common that you can't see the apps if you don't pass SafetyNet. Give it time.

I extracted the boot.img from the factory image, patched it with latest Magisk Canary 25205 and booted the patched boot.img - the system started properly. Unfortunately the direct install option does not show up in Magisk and I don't have root. Is it safe to flash the patched boot.img and will I have root when I flash it? Or is something else not working properly as of yet?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
You need to extract and patch init_boot.img, not boot.img.

Be careful when flashing the modified file: type fastboot flash init_boot xxxxx.img

It seems, though, best results are pretty much consistently only happening on our cheetah...! I guess we should count ourselves lucky...

I think I saw that even the Fold doesn't get all 3 (which I find very interesting & fascinating -- what is so different between our two devices [considering they are both the latest]?)...

Also, I wonder if this will help any on any of those apps that we suspect may be using the STRONG_INTEGRITY for root detection....can someone test this MOD and try an app that hasn't worked previously (most likely a banking or contactless-payment app....)?

Glad I brought the news here 😉:cool: (me-->😮‍💨📯🎺[my own]😜)

It is indeed weird about the Fold.

Platform-Tools v34.0.4 (#2):

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

Zip file is definitely different than the previous release of 34.0.4.

Edit #4: Every single one of the files are different than the ones from the previous release of 34.0.4.

No change to the changelog yet (from what it already said about the first release of 34.0.4)

Edit 5: Version number of ADB and Fastboot still remain the exact same, too:

Edit 6: Slight change in file sizes - and the latest package extracted with a non-2007 (2008 depending on time zone) file date (!). Weird. I extracted both with 7-Zip ("Extract Here"). I confirmed, the files inside the #2 zip, when viewed within 7-Zip, have the newer file date.:

Check out my minor Edit #6 up there, too. I don't think I've ever had Platform-Tools that actually extracted with newer than 2007 (2008 depending on timezone) file dates before.

Quick question. How do you disable verity and verification from Lineage OS? Or are they already disabled in the rom? I just want to be prepared in case I want to install a custom kernel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't know, since I don't fool with LineageOS anymore. Maybe someone else here will know, but you might want to consider asking about it in the LineageOS thread.

I can say that I would expect that, unless LineageOS uses the stock Pixel 7/Pro kernel, that it's already using a custom (LineageOS) kernel, so I wouldn't think it would have a problem with any custom kernel installed - as long as it's known that the custom kernel in question works with LineageOS. I also don't know if custom kernels that work with stock Pixel Android also work with LineageOS.

I'm very out of touch with that sort of thing. :)

Good luck!

If you have root access, download the excellent tool avbctl by @capntrips

Save it to /data/local/tmp

Make it executable (chmod +x /data/local/tmp/avbctl)

then run as root

/data/local/tmp/avbctl get-verification

You'll know if they are enabled or not.

Even so....I have my doubts/hesitations and am not necessarily going to be jumping at the chance to test this....

We've been burned before, and with all the releases and lack of being in sync with released notes or formally addressing the matter, let's just say they don't have a track record that instills confidence....

So, no 14 stable until September then. Hmmm. 🤔
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Not necessarily. With A13 betas, they released the last Beta (4.1) on July 25, 2022 or so and then released Stable A13 on August 15. There could be an A14 Beta 5 as well though since they mention it in their docs, although they don't mention it in a way that makes it sound that there will be a Beta 5 for sure.

If I had to guess, we'll get A14 stable next week (pure speculation on my part).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
That'd be nice. I'll be abroad for a month in September and I need my phone to be reliable. Getting 14 stable this month means Google can potentially fix anything weird going on next month. Of course, we could get a home run from them but I'm always cautious with major updates in general.
