Here there be dragons. 🐉 I am not responsible for anything at all. 😹

VERY IMPORTANT - On the Pixel 7/Pro, we use Magisk to patch init_boot.img, NOT boot.img AND we flash the patched init_boot to the init_boot partition - do not flash it to the boot partition.​

Thanks to @edcsxz, @Lughnasadh, and @AndyYan for news about that and confirming it.

Check warranty status

Official Google Pixel Update and Software Repair

(reported as of January 23, 2022 to still not be updated for the Pixel 6/Pro - no idea if it has yet now, or if it will be for the 7/Pro)

Official Google Pixel Install fingerprint calibration software

(also available at the bottom of the Update and Software Repair page above) - I believe this is only helpful if you've replaced the screen - if it's anything like the Pixel 6 Pro: if you have the screen replaced, then you *must* have the fingerprint reader replaced as well.

Find problem apps, Magisk, and LSposed Modules by (three different methods)

Official Google Android Flash Tool

(OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you do not have to manually unlock the bootloader - their site will do that on its own)
