Looks like I'm still sitting on APR update. Can I flash JUN without any issue? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I assume you mean that you're still on the QPR Beta? Had you opted into the Beta program or manually flashed the Beta? If you opted in, you should opt out, and then you should receive an OTA, but otherwise, yes, you can flash the June Stable firmware without issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcwups1:
I really don't know.....

I was going to flash the Factory without wipe, like I always do, but don't remember if I opted into anything. Is there a way to check?

I flashed this in APR. (cheetah-ap1a.240405.002-factory-9def9997)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, APR is April. I see. Yes, it's always "safe" to upgrade to any newer firmware. Sorry, my morning brain thought you were on the Beta and was wondering if it was fine to update to the Stable June firmware.

That firmware is definitely Stable, so you're good to update to any newer Stable firmware regardless.

Has anyone with the June 2024 update been able to get the VPN by Google to work properly? Since Google shut down the one included with Google One, I cannot get the replacement to work. I thought it was supposed to be available after installing the June 2024 system update...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
I haven't been able to get it working. Their documentation states that you aren't able to use it with an unlocked bootloader or rooted device, which limits a large portion of the people on this forum, unless they can hide that.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kornball:
Appreciate your reply - I missed that. What a bunch of crap; the Google One VPN worked perfectly fine for me, and my phone has been rooted the entire time I've had it.

Google's really going to some lengths to demonstrate how "anti-root" they have become.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
Yeah, it's stupid, especially for those who actually pay for Google One service. I have another VPN service, but it was still nice to have the Google VPN for when there were occasional slowdowns on the other service.

As of today the free VPN by Google replacement has stopped working on my pixel 7a in the UK, Google must have started implimenting the same restriction that blocked the free GoogleOne VPN from working on an unlocked/rooted phone.

If I use the PixelFlasher tool + A full 14.0.0 (AP2A.240605.024, Jun 2024) Factory image to update from the October 2023 version of CRDroid, I should not encounter issues correct? Or should I just use the Pixel Repair Tool/Website? Sorry, may be a dumb question
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you mean to do that without factory resetting your phone, I'd never recommend flashing one flavor of firmware over another. Even if CRDroid is somehow based on the Pixel firmware, there are bound to be issues.

If you're fine with completely wiping your phone, then the factory image *should* be fine, but the other solution you mentioned/below would be preferable for changing from a third-party ROM back to stock.

Yes, if I were on a different other than stock ROM and wanted to go back to stock, I'd use:

Android Flash Tool

flash.android.com

Before doing anything else. You'll still likely need to let it wipe, and I'd even tell it to force flash all partitions (which also wipes, regardless of the setting of the Wipe checkbox). Your mileage may vary if you don't wipe: you may have issues, or it might not even boot up to running Android, although you should still be able to get into the bootloader and recovery.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Cheers. I am looking to update to version 14 and then flash a custom ROM, likely derpfest on version 14. I was planning to select "Wipe/factory reset" with the Pixel Flasher when updating to 14 but looks like I'll be using the pixel repair site. Thx

Hi expert, I went through all this post and I hope that I can get some guidance on how to proceed with my Pixel 7 pro that stuck in boot loop after June update.

I followed many info I found on XDA I tried to sideload the full OTA for June and also July and both didn't solve the issues even though the process completed successfully. The device state bootloader is locked as it shows on fastboot mode. I tried repairwithGoogle platform and error shows "sw is newer than the tool". I contacted Google and so far nothing and daily they say will get back to me within 24-78 hours and nothing happen.

My main concern is I don't want to do factory reset and lose all my data. Is there anything that can help in such situation with locked bootloader?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Without an unlocked bootloader, there's not much at all you can do. I think you can only flash OTAs that are either the same version or newer than the firmware you already had on the phone. Your only options may be to do an RMA with Google if your device is either under warranty or you pay for preferred care, or possibly have to take the phone to ubreakifix if you're in the United States, or Trinidad and Tobago.

However, this is that was the Google Pixel 1 section. You should post in the Pixel 7 Pro section, or my thread in the Pixel 7 Pro section:

I'm sorry to hear about your bootloops. Before considering going to ubreakifix, maybe @badabing2003 or @Lughnasadh would have some ideas I don't think of.

I would guess that ubreakifix would likely have to replace your phone's motherboard or something like that. I have no idea if they have any advanced techniques without replacing parts, since any Pixel from the 6 and newer don't have publicly available emergency tools. They should be able to give you a better idea of what they can do, and an estimate or possibly an exact cost of what it would take to fix.

If your bootloader is locked and you don't want to factory reset, the only option is to sideload the Full OTA. Since it appears that you did that successfully but it still bootloops, I would suggest to try it again with Pixel Flasher and then generate a support zip and post it in the Pixel Flasher thread so badabing can look at it. That will hopefully provide more information than we have right now.

I was 75% sure I wasn't going to upgrade to the Pixel 9 Pro XL, but after seeing the article on the price increases, I'm now about 98.625% sure I won't. Waiting for the 10 and TSMC as I feel the 9 won't be much of an upgrade, at least for me and my wants and needs.

That is what I did. I sideloaded both current and latest OTA SW and the issue still there. Phone still boots and stuck on Google logo :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Okay, you mentioned "flashing boot command" and that it failed because your bootloader is locked so wasn't sure if you actually sideloaded the Full OTA, which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader.

Anyway, did you generate a support file and post it in the Pixel Flasher thread so badabing can look at it like I originally suggested?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, as @Lughnasadh said, you shouldn't be touching any "Flash Boot" button in PixelFlasher. Should be only (after selecting the latest Full OTA Zip) the "Full OTA" radio button, and "Flash Pixel Phone" button.

But either way, if it's not successful and/or if you still bootloop after, generate a PixelFlasher support file and attach it to a post in the PixelFlasher thread for badabing2003 to analyze and get back to you.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JayLearn13:
Thank you for the tips and suggestions. I did use flashboot button at the beginning then realized its not the one to go with and used flash device and sideloading was successful.

I also did generate support .zip file and its saved on my PC. I will upload it later as soon as I have access to the PC as advised by you and @Lughnasadh
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] re_endymion:
Hello everyone,

I decided to switch from Magisk to Apatch to better hide root.

I had LSposed UI crashes every time I try to launch, so I just uninstall the Lsposed magisk module, but I get remanents lsposed modules keeping detected. I finally reinstalled my P7P with PixelFlasher and the latest July factory image with wiping data (after backup) and no root at the beginning. At the end, I get rid of the remanents lsposed modules.

But first what is strange, is that my device is not certified by PlayStore nore in SPIC.

I thought that reinstalling a complete factory image with wipe data and no root should have restored certification : am I wrong ?

What is also strange, is that even after installing APatch and chiteroman PlayIntegrityFix v16.5, I'm still not certified.

Do I have to make factory reset ? Use another tool than PixelFlasher ?

Thanks for your feedbacks and help
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi @re_endymion,

Having the bootloader unlocked, with none of the root mitigations, is likely the reason it wasn't certified while not rooted, is my guess.

As for after installing APatch and PIF - I haven't touched APatch yet, so I can't speak to that, but sometimes you just have to wait some time (hours), or reboot one more time, and it'll become certified.

Also, there are some other helpful hints in the Play Integrity section of the OP:
