I have just updated mine without problems:

1.Open magisk an disable modules.

2.Press uninstall magisk - restore images (DO NOT REBOOT)

4.Install the ota in settings.

5. IMPORTANT, once finished DO NOT REBOOT, open magisk again and press install- (install to inactive slot (after OTA).

Then reboot and open magisk to enable the modules again. (maybe this is not necessary, to disable and enable, but it´s safer.

NOTE: I have done this with december update, for unknown reason it was impossible to me with november. I that case i had to complete uninstall magisk, use pixel flasher and then flash init_boot

patched again.
[Google Pixel 7] alsansan:
There is no problem if you install the last update without having installed the previous updates?
[Google Pixel 7] oscarcam:
If It's an OTA, i supose there is no problem. If the system gives you the option. Otherwise you can avoid previous justo using flasher. If you keep your init_boot patched It's easy to root again once used the flasher.
[Google Pixel 7] NNL:
Just followed your instructions and it worked flawlessly. I totally forgot this and figured I would need to reflash each time.
[Google Pixel 7] rathisarov:
Followed your steps. It was easy and worked well.

Thank you

I don't understand rooting the phone just to block ads.

Just use Adguard which surpasses any root adblocking abilities.
[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
I thought the problem here was that the patching from magisk doesn't back up the boot_init (Yet). If I recall correctly pixel flasher ensured the backup being there.

That would mean next time the attempt to restore images might fail again. Unless if this issue of magisk has already been addressed. I didn't check.
[Google Pixel 7] oscarcam:
That's because you don't root just to block adds.
[Google Pixel 7] fivefour:
I know plenty of other uses of root, I have developed several root apps and maintained various kernels over the years.

Read what I quoted.
[Google Pixel 7] oscarcam:
I read, but I didn't understand the same. Sorry.

You can follow the progress of fixing the issue here.
[Google Pixel 7] J0nhy:
Best way to update without the need of a pc would be too uninstall magisk by restoring the images then update your device DO NOT REBOOT then go back to magisk and install magisk but select the sideload option then REBOOT and voila updated device and rooted without a pc
[Google Pixel 7] Xdevillived666:
Didn't work for me . Maybe because i forgot to reboot before enabling the modules again. Damn! At least it isn't bricked, 😂
[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
Right.. wouldn't that be something?

However.. there's that problem with magisk backing up and restoring boot_init incorrectly. Though it seems that is fixed.

Also, there is no sideload option, it's patching either a file, direct install, or the inactive slot.
[Google Pixel 7] J0nhy:
Inactive slot

No worries, I didn't mean to sound short I just posted that quickly.

Hi everyone!

Today I finally decided to update my Google Pixel 7 to the latest version of Android available, so I followed the instructions here. Just to clarify, my phone was rooted with Magisk and it was running TD1A.220804.031.

After some trouble installing the latest OTA, the phone booted correctly. Then I patched the init_boot.img with Magisk and after flashing it on Fastboot, now it's on a loop.

It doesn't matter if I select the options "Start", "Restart Bootloader", "Recovery Mode" or "Rescue Mode", they all take me back to Fastboot Mode. Do you know if there's anything I could do to fix this? (And maybe without wiping the data, if possible?)

I also tried opening Pixel Flasher, but it doesn't detect any device. It always says:

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7] pwnyourace:
What I would try is make sure your sdk is up to date and check your device manager to see if the drivers are installed right for fastboot. You can do 'fastboot devices' to list what's detected. The Google USB drivers are easy to find if not just tell it to update the driver from a local folder. Then take the stock boot.img from the latest zip and fastboot flash it
[Google Pixel 7] mysteech:
I've checked and apparently I've got the latest versions. Android Studio shows me the latest version of the Android tools is 33.0.3.

$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 33.0.3p1-android-tools
Installed as /usr/bin/adb

$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 33.0.3p1-android-tools
Installed as /usr/bin/fastboot

fastboot as is detects "something" even though it's shown as a webcam

$ fastboot devices
************** USB2.0 UVC HD Webcam

I can confirm that is the phone because it's the same number as one of the previous calls I had done with adb (and the one I can see on the phone's screen)

I've taken the original init_boot.img extracted from the latest factory image of the Google Pixel 7 and flashed it:

$ fastboot flash boot init_boot_tq1a.221205.011_original.img
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.887s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.161s]
Finished. Total time: 2.110s

After selecting "Start" on the screen, it comes back to Fastboot Mode:
[Google Pixel 7] Lughnasadh:
That's the wrong command. If you are trying to flash the stock init_boot.img, the command is:

fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img
[Google Pixel 7] mysteech:
That was it, thank you very much for your help! 😄

For future reference, I took boot.img and init_boot.img from the factory image, and flashed them like this:

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Nicknackpaddywack101:
Hi! Thanks in advance for your help.

I specifically bought a p9 eva-al10 to try 8.0 on it.

However it seems the system version is still stuck at b198 on MM.

I have done extensive searching but since this is a Chinese model all methods just don't apply.

I realized I could just rebrand to European model to get to nougat, then rebrand back to Chinese to get oreo. Unfortunately no methods I looked up were for marshmallow.

What can I do from here?

I managed to unlock bootloader, so maybe I could just force flash the European firmware?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
I don't remember this with Android 12 but on 13 (October build) I'm getting a crackling sound in videos, either at the start or while skipping around the vid. With Adaptive Sound turned off it's pretty much completely gone.

Don't mind this stupid vid but can anyone confirm the same? Just quickly skip around and please tell me if everytime the sound starts back up if you get that annoying cracking for a second.

Edit: Linking to the vid directly here the sound is slightly "muted" and you can't really tell... If you can just pick one of the first vids. Male Karen Destroyed By Salesman and play the clip through Chrome/YouTube that should work.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
No crackling on my end think your speaker may be faulty I tried adaptive sound on and off
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
Pretty sure I never got this on 12 and if it was the speaker I don't know why it would go away with Adaptive Sound off
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
Guys I just came into work and my friend who has a regular Pixel 6 has the exact same issue with the exact same video. We turned off his Adaptive Sound and while it wasn't 100% fixed it was 80% better.

Can other please confirm. I'm talking about moving the slider around on the video and everytime it starts to play again there is a crackle
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nick username:
Not p6p, but I also noticed the popping/crackling in audios when they are played/paused/tap'd to seek. This also happens on roms such as pixel experience. With adaptive sound turned off, so does the noise. I have also adressed the issue, but no one seems to care/mind. I thought I was the only one being this nitpicky.

Device: 4a5G (Bramble)

Build number: TQ1A.221205.011 (December patch)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
I just tried on my older P6 Pro/Android 12. And turns out same thing. I still think turning off Adaptive Audio makes the sound crack much less. Might still be a little pop.

I used that phone for 6 months and never noticed but once you notice it, you can't not notice it lol

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] SoushiS:
Hi, I have that problem of the title. What can it be?

It have TWRP and I did a rollback from Nougat to Marshmallow (Current Build BLL-L23C900B120-log) and after the rollback the problem persists, can't even charge my phone because it automatically boot and well, I tried with a lot of roms with C605 and nothing works. I performed a rollback because after I updated it back then it's build was NDR90M test key and it didn't let me open any banking app because of security reasons. Any solution? Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this is not the right forum. I understand that Huawei Mate 9 Lite is the same as Huawei Honor 6X.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] MauriJ2001:
Pls don't flash again B380 or any firmware without the data update.app or you may see the NDRM90-TEST keys trust me next time flash B342

View attachment 5785659

Ok there is still a chance to get working again your device

You will need potatonv (if you got the bootloader locked as user not fblock)

B120log zip and B342 Update and Data update

This TWRP

And Huawei firmware extractor

First recover the phone

I don't know if you really had the bootloader unlocked if you don't you need to unlock it using potatonv with kirin 65x (A) the test point of BLL-L23 is located near the fingerprint conector (right of them) short it when connect your phone to get the EDL and start the potatonv also save your new bootloader unlock code and do the OEM unlock

From the B120 update.app open the Huawei update extractor and extract the recovery and recovery2 images

Put the phone in fastboot mode (put USB and press vol -)

And flash

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img

Now take a SD card and make the dload folder and copy the b120 update.app here

Put the phone in dload using the 3 button combo (pwr vol - +) and the update should be installed now

If the process is correct your device will boot as normal with android 6.0 B120Log

To correctly update now the bootloader needs to be still unlocked

Flash the TWRP 3.0.3.0 (newers version directly don't boot)

Copy the B342 zip and this OEM info (not the update.app) to the micro SD (THE INTERNAL MEMORY IS NOT AVAILABLE DURING THIS PROCESS) flash first the OEM info reunlock the bootloader using the fastboot OEM unlock next flash the B342 zip

After that reboot and wait until the system boots complete the device oobe and in the phone info you will still get NDRM90-TEST keys

To fix that you need the B342 Data zip delete in the SD CARD the B120 update.app and replace with the B342 Data update.app

Do again the dload combo and let the phone flash the cust and other info if the process is correct you device info will show the correct compilation instead of NDRM90-TEST keys and safety net should work now (Device certificated)

Hello,

I have an ALLDOCUBE kPad running crDroid (Android 12L) with Magisk installed. The ROM (by default, might I add that it's a Treble GSI) is spoofed as a Pixel 6 Pro. Now I wouldn't mind this if it weren't for other apps detecting it as a phone instead of a tablet (for example, Spotify thinks my device is a phone so it dosen't allow me to play any song I want). Does anyone have a solution or Magisk module that allows me to spoof my device as ANY device?

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me in this.

If device's Android is rooted you can change device's brand & model as also its resolution by editing Android's system file named build.prop what is located in /system partition.

Basically a tablet and a phone only differs in its resolution setting, means either landscape or portrait.
[General Questions and Answers] PickleMorty282:
Thanks, but while editing build.prop, how to I edit it to tell apps that it's a tablet?
[General Questions and Answers] Arealhooman:
Similar question, but can I make it so some apps know my real device and some don’t?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Set resolution ( wm size setting WxH) to 1920 x 1080, if it should minic a tablet, set resolution to 1080x1920 if it should mimic a phone.

Take note that everytime when Android boots, it will read the build.prop file and set parameters pointed by it accordingly. After it has booted, it will not access that file dynamically to change parameters - in contrast to Windows OS. So for any change to take effect, a reboot is compulsary, you cannot escape it.

[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
I want a New phone and I would be using it in Canada. I have been looking mostly on Aliexpress

because I can save quite a bit of money. I am looking for a Motorola because suppose to be clean android and

little or no Bloatware at least the version from Canada. I know nothing about downloading Roms and don't know the meaning of what Rooting is

so I have to keep things simple. My dilemma is do I get a Global Version because I will get OTA updates with no hassle or a Chinese Version that the seller has flashed a Global Rom on? The Chinese with the global rom may or may not get OTA updates but is cheaper than a True Global Version from Aliexpress.

The seller says I can update the phone myself? I don't mind updating if the phone notifies me of an update and I just have to Tap to install

but I don't know if it is that easy? What should I do?

Also Motorola doesn't have any Global Version I can find like Xiaomi has but even they do not have all models in Global Versions.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I would never buy a phone off AliExpress because this seller is known to sell fake produccts.

Generally, AliExpress is a great place to source your merchandise only if you know how to find genuine products on the site.
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
By looking for cheap buys and not knowing anything about the device, you really won't save anything.

In my opinion, it will be better for you if you buy on the local secondary market a phone from a year or two ago, which was categorized as mid-range on the day of its release.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Be careful with any to good to be offer's! Do your homework while shopping...
[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
Yes I know about that. A genuine seller has the money back guarantee protection through aliexpress. The sub par ones do not. I bought a Redmi Note 8 Pro 3 years ago with no problems.
[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
Done lots of homework. When I see a Samsung S22 for $200 I know it's a fake.

The sellers with the guarantee are what I look for.
[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
So now we have got past about shopping on Aliexpress

Is anyone going to comment if the Chinese with a global rom be ok given my skill level or forget it and only buy a true "Global Version"?

My only problem about the CN/Global Rom is getting system and security updates.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Updates get rolled by OEM if they deem it necessary. Has nothing to do what ROM initially is flashed. Providing updates causes enormous costs, which OEMs naturally try to avoid because it reduces the profit margin.

Only with Google devices ( AOSP based ) you can be sure to always get latest updates.
[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
So why then if you buy a Chinese phone flashed with a Global Rom the sellers says OTA updates not supported?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1. My understanding: Global ROM, as also Chinese ROM, is software, whereas Global Version is hardware. But I may err as always.

2. OTA stands for Over the Air ( FOTA – Firmware Over the Air ). It refers to the wireless delivery of new or updated software or firmware to devices such as smartphones and tablets.

The OTA process is self-explanatory in that it delivers updated software wirelessly or ‘over the air’. These updates are distributed over Wi-Fi or mobile broadband using a function built into the smartphone or tablet’s operating system or through a special OTA app that’s given root access. The update goes out to all the designated smartphones or tablets from one central control panel.
[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
I am following you sort of. I know that updates are sent OTA.

What I need to know is how will I get these software and firmware update if the seller is saying "OTA updates" not supported after they install the Global Rom?

My experience so far with pervious cell phones is this process happens automatically with maybe the hardest thing to do is accept it by a Tap.

If this process is complicated because it is not supported I can't continue about thinking to buy as I am not a Tech Savvy cell phone guy.
[General Questions and Answers] mayer2:
the answer is very simple: you have to take care of possible updates yourself
[General Questions and Answers] redrooster62:
No Problem but is it easy like a matter of Tap Yes to update or is like loading another updated Rom?
[General Questions and Answers] hash5414:
I don't know if you figured it out or not but in my opinion if you are saving a good amount go for Chinese version and you can simply flash a global one and root your device to get your device certified

Updates will not be the issue you can install the updates the only issue will be after every update you have to root your device again

As you said you don't know how to root. root is something you should have at least basic knowledge to do soo otherwise you may brick your device

So facts are Infront of you if you still think it's worth buying and you can manage the struggle

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] PochiRaccoon:
Hi. I have a pixel 7 pro ut ive also had pixel 6a in the past with the same issue. I've never got a phone to work right ever since the android 13 update for the 6 series. I use google fi.

I've replaced my phones a half dozen times and tried flashing/rooting, etc if it doesnt work but can never get it working properly,

The issue is this: the phone SEEMS to somehow revert to somehow having the boot partition being a ramdisk as well as the init_boot. if i look at the bootloader variables, the active slot that booted says its succesful; fastboot ok; but the retry count is 2 whereas the other slot says not successful, retry count 3,; fastboot ok;

if i set the other slot as active and try to boot to the system it will show the google logo (the one with the word google), then bootloop 3 times until it boots the other slot and then the booloader says the other slot is unbootable. also, system updated arent working properly, even the google play ones.

when it boots, where it shoes the network im connected to it will quickly flash from no sim card to no network to google fi.

also sometimes google sees my phone as 2 different devices. one is signed in as an android device and the other as "chrome webview"

also many of the system apps dont show properly when listing all the apps and it lists all the overlays as 0 bytes and shows "carrier settings" twice

also, the dialer, when doing *#*#4636#*#* will list two "phones" and one is on lte network google fi and the other is iwlan google fi and one says the "sub id" is 1, while the other shows as -1.

Anyone have any clue as to the issue? or how to fix it. As i said this has happenned on 3 different pixel 6a's and 3 different pixel 7 pro's
