[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DespairFactor:
so looks like vendor_dlkm has been replaced by vendor_kernel_boot and the init_boot is just the first-stage init. This will be interesting moving forward with AVB and custom images. I will start working on something when source drops. I will likely need to have some testers to see how much this requires to get a custom image up and running.

EDIT: vendor_boot is actually the one that has been separated out a bit between vendor_boot (holding modules) and vendor_kernel_boot, which has some ramdisk stuff like the vendor_boot has on Pixel 6 devices.

Kernel now consists of 6 images. init_boot, vendor_boot, vendor_kernel_boot, vendor_dlkm, dtbo and boot.img

I downloaded the init_boot.img file then got a big problem bricked my pixel 7 oro

I think i'll hold fire on rooting until things are a little clearer. unlocking the bootloader in the usual fashion should be ok tho right?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Yes, unlocking the bootloader is still the same and will wipe data.

If you can boot to recovery try a factory reset from there or you will have to power it off and wait until Google releases the image.

In the OP, the part with:

"FASTBOOT IMAGES:

I'm sharing the stock extracted images of the TD1A.220804.031 build, should be a good reset point from fastboot incase any of you get stuck somehwere:

DO NOT MIRROR THIS PLEASE!!!!"
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
? unlocking is just going to do a data wipe/factory reset anyway. not sure why I would need the factory image for that? or to do an additional factory reset from recovery?

Hey everyone, a slight update on the website for the image dump, SourceForge was giving people incomplete files so @Some_Random_Username is generously hosting it on his servers <3

please verify the MD5 of the downloaded zip before trying to modify any parititons using the following commands:

On windows:

certutil -hashfile cheetah-TD1A.220804.031-compressed.zip MD5

On Linux/MacOS:

md5sum cheetah-TD1A.220804.031-compressed.zip

The MD5 should be: 43613f520697722840ded6a15eb27459

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mad13maddy:
Just faced a problem with my fold 3 that it did not open all thr way.. it got Stuck half way and didn't open to 180° Flat. Probably there was something hindering the gears inside the hinge.. but it was horrible experience though..

But thanks to service centre, the phone was just under warranty and they replaced the panel without any cost..

Things to check :

1. 3rd party body protectors are using some adhesives which gets into the hinge and creates these problems, DO NOT USE ANY HINGE MEMBRANE / PROTECTORS.

2. Please keep the phone out of the pocket when you sit.

3. Some trousers pockets are not at a friendly with the folds.. their fibres are getting inside the hinge.

4. Some people are observing some kind of transparent plastic coming out of hinge, which they forgot to remove when they bought the phone.

Take care of such a lovely device..!!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Yay. Good for you! Samsung tech support is less than ideal, you did well.

I have flip phones, 2 Casio Boss's, multiple laptops and never had a hinge jam or fail in over 3 decades. Samsung overstepped the physical limits of materials technology with the Fold series. The results are a high failure rate of multiple components in these phones. The display is the most likely to fail, but hinge issues continue to haunt the Fold's. Samsung couldn't even get a well known, decades old technology right on these phones.

I have 5 Samsung phones, the oldest is 10 yo, none ever had to be replaced due to a hardware failure and they all still work. This Note 10+ has over 8k hours on it; looks, feels and runs like new. For over a grand price tag you deserve a well designed and built flagship, not an experimental prototype batch run. Samsung, shame on you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mad13maddy:
Yah man.. you are darn right.. these phones are way too costly to be an experimental phones.. I too thought the 3rd gen seems good to go for as it had some kind of water resistance too..

But these devices with moving components should be handled well.. cannot exploit these as other candy bar design premium devices can be..

Thats why I thought to at least inform what I went through and if people take care they will not have these problems..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
It's sad because Samsung is capable of designing and manufacturing a premium flagship. They invested heavily in the Fold technology but I don't think the plastics/adhesive systems available today are up to the demands of their Fold designs. Not sure why they are choking on the hinge part of the design though as that technology is not new at all.

For 3 years Samsung has yet to produce a better flagship than the N10+, in my opinion it is Samsung's zenith. A beautiful, well balanced work horse. That left me with nothing to buy so I got another new N10+, twins, and a backup.

The original one just keeps flawlessly ticking, only repair has been a replacement battery, due for its second one. Current OS load is over 2yo, still running Pie; that's what Android's are capable of. Security is not an issue.

All too often Android's miss the longevity mark partially because of the user error of upgrading/updating when it's not neccessary. Latter upgrades tend to break Samsung's, lol it's a tradition.

Google is like a meth head on a 3 day binge telling you that you need to constantly upgrade/update. Not. Google is part of the problem...

[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] afternight:
Hello to all,

I tried 1 year ago to root my POCO M3 Pro 5G but could not succeed to install TWRP unofficial for this model because of the problem of non-existent recovery partition (see https://xdaforums.com/t/twrp-not-wo...oco-m3-pro-5g-redmi-note-10-5g.4474375/page-2) In short I bricked my device several times and then I had a boot with a weird screen that disappeared when I updated to MIUI 13.

Today I am on Android 12 MIUI global 13.0.3 and I would like to install magisk manager without the help of TWRP and I have the default recovery of MIUI with which I can not install anything.

I had also followed the procedure described https://xdaforums.com/t/root-poco-m3-pro-5g-yourself-and-optionnal-debloat-privacy.4337693/ but without success impossible to flash on A or B : error messages : too many links, the partition does not exist (see screen shot in PJ), no emulator etc

The bootloader is still unlocked

I would like to root my phone and use Magisk manager modules such as Skvalex without damage or install root apk with spyware and trojan.

Do you have any solutions for me?

Thank you very much for your answers.

[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] afternight:
Ok tx I'll try this method and let you know
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] wetito:
install magisk via fastboot is the easiest way for rooting. and more safe than using custom recovery. follow the guides with more attention. bad twrp can damage bootloader. bad flash of stock can damege device

i think the twrp have broked your boot, and i suppose u have flashed a wrong stock rom.

before made other damage, if can enter into fastboot: be sure to download right firmware. and flash it without relock option. if u dont do this, the risk is a serious hard brick. for who is not able to do a simply procedure like rooting, an hard brick is impossible to repair . be carefull
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] sajalkmr:
I have rooted my phone with magisk without any recovery, you just have to modify boot.img and flash it using fastboot.

I followed this method- https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-poco-m3-pro-5g/
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] afternight:
Good evening

Thanks for your 2 answers.

I finally succeeded in laboriously rooting and patching on A and B but the modops on https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-poco-m3-pro-5g/ are incomplete and/or inaccurate. For example it is necessary to specify that it is necessary to download not the recovery version of the ROM but the fastboot version which is not underlined in the text of the link and other details of this type which avoid wasting time other example to find in the repertory the file of the patch.img even not hidden difficult to find even with the way and invisible via the directory of windows.

I have the root and I have installed modules on Magisk manager finally after the first attempt 12 months ago.

Cheers

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Annie the Eagle:
Did you flash it to the init_boot partition or the boot partition?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mrteii1:
Thank you for your reply. I flashed by below command: flash boot unpachedname

Did i do things wrong? Sorry im realy a newbie
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Annie the Eagle:
Yeah you can't flash init_boot.img to boot partition.

init_boot.img must go to the "init_boot" partition.

Thankfully, there is extracted IMGs here: https://xdaforums.com/t/pixel-7-pro...xtracted-images-how-to.4505061/#post-87566815

Click the SourceForge link to the FASTBOOT IMAGES.

Then make sure you repair your boot partition by flashing over the boot.img to boot partition and the init_boot.img to init_boot partition.

Usual disclaimer: No warranty, I haven't tested any of these images but give it a try.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:

No offense, but if you are a "newbie" as you say, then why in the world would you want to risk a $900.00+ device that is so new to the modding world? What possible benefit could there really be even if you were successful? Remember, it IS possible to completely brick your phone and no warranty in the world will help. SMH
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
Are you using the stock images? I recommend doing a --slot=all to be safe. Reboot bootloader manually (Vol Down + Power), then run the same commands as before with --slot=all.

flashboot flash boot --slot=all boot.img

flashboot flash init_boot --slot=all init_boot.img

If that still fails, wait another 40 minutes or so until Google hopefully drops the factory images and just flash those. I don't think you're hard bricked just yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mrteii1:
Thank you for your patience. I will try this tomorrow it is really late in japan. Appreciate your kind help. Wish you a nice day.

Keep you informed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mrteii1:
Tried only boot.img i can do. Ini_boot showed no sucj file
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mrteii1:
Flashed as you instructed but still saying corrupt. Btw i downloaded this file,is it correct ? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
That just means you don't have an init_boot file with that exact name in the folder. At this point I'd suggest waiting until Google drops the factory images so you can start fresh. Without knowing your version number you're basically going in blind flashing files that may or may not be relevant to your build.

When you run flashboot flash init_boot init_boot.img, the 'init_boot.img' needs to be the exact file name in your folder. So if your patched file is magisk_init_patched-25205_EfWOu.img, you're going to run fastboot flash init_boot magisk_init_patched-25205_EfWOu.img

In the future, I suggest downloading the stock boot/init_boot files for your build number so that if something goes haywire then you can recover. I also would suggest holding off until factory images are available, especially if you're not sure what you're doing. That'll also give you a way to recover in a worst case scenario where nothing seems to work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mrteii1:
Thank you very much. I will wait for the dactory images. Appreciate your support massively.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
The factory images are now live: https://developers.google.com/android/images#cheetah

Download the file, extract the zip, and run flash-all at a command prompt. It should give you a fresh start.

thank you. I flashed the fiemware and now it is back!

Hi,

New pixel user as of today!

On my OnePlus 7t I used to be able to prevent network access for specific apps which would stop some annoying adverts from loading for apps that didn't actually require internet access - Is this feature / setting not available for Pixel phones and/or Android 13?

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mko000:
No, that's an OxygenOS feature.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mmotti:
Damn.. that's a shame. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mko000:
There are options of course - if you're rooted.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mmotti:
I haven't rooted for years now - I don't know if it's still the case but I used to have issues with banking apps etc back in the day.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mko000:
There are still issues with apps looking for root. Usually, there are workarounds (for now), but you have to stay on top of the required actions.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] binary**#:
You could use the NetGuard app for this purpose [it doesn't require root, though it will create a VPN connection].
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illwun11:
Forgive me as it has been quite a few years since I've worked with Android devices.

We have some Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro 10.1" tablets that are having NFC issues after the update to Android 11. I've done some research and it seems this is a "known" issue yet there does not seem to be a fix, other that flashing Android 9 or 10. Basically there is a program we use for clocking in and out with NFC cards and the devices are enrolled in Intune. When the devices are not in Kiosk mode everything works fine, but when they are in Kiosk mode the NFC only works until the tablet goes to sleep. Once the tablet is woken up the NFC no longer works until we take it out of Kiosk mode. So if anyone knows a fix for this, that would be great, otherwise I was hoping someone knows where I can get the stock Samsung ROM and flash it back to 9 or 10. Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] yvonnekitsch1966:
Please advise me should I buy the Pexel 7 Pro after hearing about the display problem?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
What display problem? That it has a super duper high brightness mode that uses correspondingly more power? How is this a problem?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
No, that at high brightness levels, it uses a disproportionate amount of power in comparison to other devices when they're set to the same brightness.

My one has already been dispatched, I must confess I would have held fire had I read about this earlier today so that is what I would advise anyone thinking of taking the plunge. I might still send it back unopened if, between now and when it's delivered on Monday, more bad news comes out about this.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
I say we need to slow down and wait a minute here. There are many factors regarding battery drain. Are we using auto brightness? Will manual brightness work better if we know we are going to be in direct sun for an extended period of time? What about resolution, or refresh rate? ALL phones need to be tweaked to our personal liking to get the most out of them...ALL PHONES! We all are stressing over the possible bugfest that might occur with the 7 series BECAUSE of what happened with the 6 series. Remember that ALL phones have a few "bugs" most of which can be squashed with an update/patch. So we will have to judge for ourselves and not rely on what others experience.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I agree. But it can't be ignored this is potentially a pretty serious issue if being able to see the screen in decent light is only possible with a massive battery drain. And if it's a hardware fault, there is far less chance it can be fixed with a software update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Well, we all have 15 days or longer to return our devices if we find them problematic enough.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
What is "the same brightness"? How do you even know if the scales on two devices align? This is silly. More bright = more power. FACT.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I don't believe I do. I bought it from Very in the UK and reading their return policy, you have 28 days to return it but they only reimburse if the item is sealed and unused.

I need more information on this issue before I open and use it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Have you even read what XDA have said about this? This tells me you either haven't, or don't understand what they've pointed out.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Well Best Buy will charge you $45 if it's opened.

Fortunately I don't have to worry about that because there's no way I'll dislike it more than the 12 Pro Max I am exchanging for it and the extra money in my pocket from the exchange and gift cards exceeding the price of the phone with taxes makes it worth doing regardless.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] yvonnekitsch1966:
Well to me I just saw the report and showing concern however most phone under high levels of brightness will indeed drain battery faster, I m only seeking advise. But I decided to buy it bright or not its a good phone and design wise I m comfortable with it..

Thank you for your understanding and advised
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] yvonnekitsch1966:
Do any of you have a issue with the battery draining to fast, and device getting over heated up

I have activated the battery save mode and notice it was abit better but just about 1 week ago I received a update. After the update the over heating became worse and battery draining faster.

The battery saving mode once activated it switch to LTE, if you charge your device it switches to 5G

All this is it normal? I was hoping the update would bring some good to improve the battery draining and over heating but instead it became a problem..
