My sdk version is r33.0.3. I opened powershell command in Platform tools folder. ADB is not in Platform tools folder.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Where is adb.exe located?

If you are using Windows SDK Platform-tools, the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files should be in the the extracted SDK Platform-tools r33.0.3 Platform-tools folder.

Where is the Magisk.zip file located?

Suggestion

Do a search for adb.exe.

What folder is it in?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
I cheked , adb and fastboot in paltform tolls folder. I paste magisk.zip same folder and try but still same problem in picture. Installation aborted
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
@Frost35,

What version of Magisk are you using?

Make sure the name of the file you are sideloading is exactly the same as the name of the file i.e.:

If for example, the file name is app-release_Magisk.zip.

Correct Command

adb sideload app-release_Magisk.zip

Incorrect Command

adb sideload app-release

-m

agisk.zip

The file name in this command is different from the

actual file name

.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
FYI, option 1 for installing Magisk didn't work. I tried with .apk and with .zip extension and neither worked. BTW, I was using platform-tools r33.0.3. Had to patch the init_boot.img.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
@bird333,

Ok, so you patched the init_boot.img with Magisk.

How did you flash it to root your phone with the Evolution X ROM?

From the OP

Installation

First time Install:

...7 (optional). Reboot to recovery (fully) to sideload any add-ons (e.g magisk)...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
What method to extract init_boot.img? I extracted the rom zip and presume it's in the payload.bin file. I googled a bit but everything seemed so involved just to open the .bin

Edit: Nevermind.....I just never read OP down far enough 🙃....Doh!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
I followed 'method 2'. Basically booted to bootloader and ran 'fastboot flash init_boot Magisk_patched_init_boot.img'
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Just follow method 2 of rooting on page 1. Once you run that program against the zip file it will create a folder called 'extracted...' that will have all the files in it. The just copy init_boot to your phone and patch it with Magisk and follow the rest of the steps.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Where is Google chrome? It is on the firmware (because I got an update notification for it from the play store) but the icon doesn't show up in the app drawer.

Got it, Post #3 :)

..Obtaining root:

Let it be known that we will not assist anyone with bug reports until they have disabled all modules and restored to the default, unpatched kernel that is shipped with the ROM!

Root can be obtained by either one of the following methods.

Me too. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Im using Magisk 26.1 and im sure write correct command but i dont know what is problem . I tried orther version Mgisk but all is same problem .
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Can you share init.boot.img file please. Because payload.exe dont workI. need root.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Yeah, I got the same error you got trying to sideload Magisk. It doesn't seem to work. Use 'method 2'. Attached the file. Just so there is no confusion, this is from this build 'evolution_cheetah-ota-tq3a.230705.001.b4-07221928-unsigned.zip'
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Thank you so much, i have root now 😊
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Guys, my phone live translate not working. How can i fix this ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Ok, got all setup to flash and first step: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" returns > "Failed -Remote: partition boot not found". I am currently running crDroid rom, any idea what is wrong?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
anyone have magisk.zip that works with the latest patch?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
can I also flash this on my device?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
If that is the build you are going to flash, then yeah.

are you referring to the latest build of Aug 13?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
For anyone who isn't familiar with the tool listed in instructions to patch the compressed rom file with magisk, I processed the rom file with pixelflasher and flash booted the patched boot.img, worked great for getting root just like option 2
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
No. I'm referring to the specific build I mentioned in my post with the attachment.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
Just wanna say that this rom is 🔥🔥🔥. Brings me back to the 2012 era when I was rooting Samsung devices and the rom scene was in its glory days. Thanks so much for this

I was on beta Android 14 waiting for 4ca to pop off in my area, but I'll go without it for now in favor of what's offered here. Hopefully there's more like this when a14 arrives
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xBkKx:
Unlimited photos storage doesn't appear to work anymore on the latest build
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
I can't update via ota. Rom downloads but won't install
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Valla45:
So I restored my phones backup before realizing that Magisk is not working with this build.

Does anyone know if a build update will make Magisk sideloadable again so I can just wait and not have to do a restore again?

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] acidspider:
Updated to 7.9.7 via OTA and kept root, that was a pleasure to do after sticking with stock rooted for the last year
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
How did you update? I can't update, download and when press setup button close
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] acidspider:
For me, the installation window closed, but when I went back into it the option was for reboot so I went back and installed magisk to the inactive slot and rebooted.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
when I go back to the installation window, it starts downloading again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] acidspider:
I would try leaving the window open and the screen on till it completes
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
It didn't notify me that it was installing the ROM, I thought it wasn't and rebooted the phone. I lost root. Who can share the init_boot.img file of the latest version?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
I extract init_boot.img file and attached. Use ''method 2'' . Just so there is no confusion, this is from this build ''evolution_cheetah-ota-tq3c.230805.001.b2-08131227-unsigned.zip''
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
A couple of feature requests:

1. Can you have a network monitor icon that is always visible even if there is no traffic and displays the upload and download arrows like the one if Lineage OS if you are familiar with that?

2. Can there be a battery circle option that has rainbow colors around it going from violet at 100% to red at 0%? These would be great. TIA.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] esjames:
There is a toggle to hide the traffic monitor, just click on "network traffic indicator" and it will show another setting
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] insestito:
God morning, when i updated EVO X, obviously i lost magisk root.

So i open recovery and i make adb sideload magisk.apk , and i have error.

how can i fix it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Don't know what error you're getting, but in future after updating but before rebooting, just open magisk and choose 'install to inactive slot'. That way you'll keep root upon reboot after rooting
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Look my post #918 i was share init_boot.img file for Evo 7.9.7. You can use method 2 for root
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Hi guys, how is your battery performance ? May battery is %60 now. If i open use pixel grafic soc time 3h40 mins bur if i close this my soc time looking 2h33 mins. Why is different ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Thanks for letting me know, but that option is off and it still disappears when inactive. It's basically like that toggle doesn't do anything.

EDIT: Well after a reboot that toggle seems to be working. Go figure. I have rebooted other times and traffic would appear and disappear as if the toggle was active. I still would like to have the upload and download traffic icon.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Valla45:
I haven't used Android in years so forgive me.

But are you able to re lock the bootloader with a custom ROM? Or spoof it?

I'm not able to the the Uber driver app any longer, even without it rooted.

:/ Really

Cheers
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Asking again....When I try any of the fastboot commands to flash the rom it first acts like it works with (Okay) but then says: (Error): partition not found. Adb and fastboot is working properly and I'm using the tried and true 33.0.3 version of SDK. Am also currently running crDroid rom.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
Why this room battery drain so bad?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Not the ROM, your usage and apps.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
<< Edit >>

:rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Frost35:
I took it out of charge 1 hour ago. I didn't do anything but I had a 3% drop. Is this normal?

Edit: All apps are selected as restricted to save battery. I also turn off screen pixels in rom features to save battery.

Currently the battery level is 94% while making this edit. Attached is the second screenshot.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Can't relock bl with custom installed, or spoof it as far as I'm aware
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Andrica:
I agree, battery drain is present, it isn't due to high usage, compared to stock I'm using the rom the same way and i experience a good amount of increased battery drain & standby battery drain.

Rom is still very much usable and stable.

But yeah battery usage could be improved for sure.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
If you've just updated/installed the rom it needs a few days to settle. So time will tell with the new build. I'm using cleanslate kernel, which helps (or at least it did before the update), but again, it's too early to say if the build drain is significant..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Prey521:
Installed EvoX for the first time 2 days ago and I am loving how buttery smooth and feature packed this ROM is! I am HOOKED, thank you!!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Hey thanks, but I'm not sure what you are suggesting there. I am already running fastboot commands from platform tools folder where I also have the .img files downloaded from the OP. "fastboot devices" returns serial number properly but each command returns the error "partition not found" like it cannot read my device properly for some reason. You wrote "fastbootd", is that a typo?....fastbootd is only samsung devices I thought. :unsure:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Fastbootd is a thing. I doubt it was a typo. But, are you using 33.0.3?? Other versions are known to cause issues - but I'm not sure on what issues and if yours is related. Let me know if you need that version sharing...

You can check what version yours is with 'adb version' cmd in window
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
@mad4some

You're right, I edited that post.

In my opinion you shouldn't be getting the error [

(Error): partition not found

] with SDK Platform-tools r.33.0.3 installed.

Curious

Is there more than one 'fastboot.exe' file on your computer.

Let's check, open Windows 'file explorer' and do a search for 'fastboot.exe'.

Was more than one 'fastboot.exe' found?

Yes, delete all 'fastboot.exe' that are not in the Platform-tools folder.

Additionally, use the button keys to boot 'fastboot mode' on your phone

- Power off the phone

- Press and hold the

Power

and

Volume Down

buttons until you see Start.

If you are trying to install/update crdroid follow the instructions below to install/update crdroid.

a. How To Install CrDroid ROM Android 13 On Pixel 7 Pro

b. Download crdroid

Otherwise, follow the Installation instructions in the OP to install Evolution X.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Forgot about other instances of fastboot installed... good shout!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Just discovered the CRT screen animation. NICE!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Always gotta rock that badboy! Tis a must feature!

Edit: then again, maybe I'm just old. Actually, there's no maybe
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
@mad4some

Curious

Did the information provided in post # 738 fix the 'fastboot' error?

Did you get Evolution X installed?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Andrica:
Anyone else noticed this issue?

Having this exact style for the navigation bar, there appears to be a circle in a square in the center.

I've tried restarting multiple times and switching styles but nothing seems to resolve this bug.

I really like the samsung style nav bar so i hope it is an easy fix for upcoming builds 🙂

EDIT: Toggling off the "hold for G Assistant" removes the bug.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
I am opening the command within the platform tools folder which only has 1 fastboot.exe. I have a copy of the latest platform tools (34.0.4) in my downloads folder but that cannot be affecting anything since I am opening within the 33.0.3 folder, correct? Anyway, I am still getting the error.....here's a screenshot. Thanks

edit: @AnierinB , do you have any idea why I keep getting this error trying to flash? Thanks

EDIT: I finally got it figured out, thanks for the help!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Ok

Correct.

Open a command prompt in the C:\User\eastt\Downloads\platform-tools_r.33.0.3-windows\ folder and try this command:

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

Did it work?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Homeboy, I finally figured out that I had to open the command and place the items INSIDE the "platform-tools" folder and not just in the overall "platform-tools_r33.0.3-windows" folder, even though I am sure that I have run commands successfully in the past like that....go figure!! I have now flashed Evolution X and am setting it up. Thanks very much for your efforts (y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Yes:

C:\User\eastt\Downloads\platform-tools_r.33.0.3-windows\platform-tools :)

I should have caught that, common, mistake :(.

I usually extract the platform-tools_r.33.0.3-windows.zip file and move the platform-tools folder to C:\ with the platform-tools_r.33.0.3-windows.zip file in it: (C:\platform-tools).

Glad you figured it out. (y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Glad you figured it out. Just to clarify, you came straight from crDroid i.e. you didn't flash stock first? Also did you wipe or dirty flash?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
does this have the built in saftynet fix so you dont need magisk module?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
Yes. SafetyNet works straight out of the box.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Yes, straight from crDroid and formatted data as per OP instructions.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shaneg79:
Is dual esim going to be supported since it now works on stock firmware? One esim works but it won't allow me to use two at the same time and helium mobile who I use needs dual esim one for voice/text the other for data only. I really want to get away from stock because my phone has charging issues even with pd chargers and original cable so sometimes I have to charge it with a USB 2.0 but on this ROM all my chargers and cables work perfectly and I never have issues connecting to Android Auto with this either but it has been an issue with stock.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] esjames:
It already does, i have 2 esim. 1 tmobile, the other esim - Visible
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shaneg79:
Nevermind, I figured it out. I had to find an old physical sim I had laying around and insert and disable it then it allowed me to use two esims at the same time! Thank you! :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Deliberate:
i gotta say i havent flashed a rom in a few years and just did it with this one! loving it so far! great job! Thanks!!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
Anyone know why I am getting these errors? I have tried this after installing several wiped fresh Android 13 factory images. P7 Pro on tmobile, unlocked. I had this working a couple weeks ago but tried the beta a few days ago to look for 4ca. Ran onto this problem once last time i instsalled but it worked after flashing a new Android 13 base factory image, now it won't. All downloaded files are in the ADB folder and PATH is set
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
never mind shomehow i got it. i'm theorizing that after coming back from a14 beta and installing a13 base, i didnt give it enough time to expand files after installation. both this time and last time it took a while to work after coming back from a14 beta
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] karaed:
you need downgrade official a13 from a14. After that you can flash evo 7.9
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vrtsvas:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
adb reboot bootloader

<<Edit >>

OP has instructions for flashing ROM.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vrtsvas:
I did that and then try to run ./fastboot devices and nothing
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Sorry the reply I posted is not for this thread. Please, read and follow the First Time Install instructions in the OP.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vrtsvas:
Sorry I am not following you, that is exactly what I am trying to do exactly and I am reporting that I discover probs. By the way I am using windows 11
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
I understand, please read posts# 1, 2, and 3.

Post # 3 has "Reporting bugs and submitting logs".

@AnierinB is the thread starter, he will read about the issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
You don't need the ./ part, just 'fastboot devices' in cmd (without quotation marks)

Also, you need to be running fastboot version 33.0.3. Other versions are known to cause issues when flashing. Uninstall/delete the latest one you have (having both installed may cause conflicts) and install 33.0.3, then run just run fastboot devices and take it from there.

Fastboot 33.0.3 + cmd.exe + drivers

Above is the correct fastboot version, extract it to root of C drive.

The cmd.exe just saves a couple of clicks, use it if you want. You just place it in fastboot folder where all the 33.0.3 files are and double click it to launch cmd window.

There's also the drivers you need, should you have issues with yours. Although, mine are probably outdated now
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Can I use banking apps with this rom ?

Also how do I go back stock if I dont like it ?

And most importantly, can I get rid of the google search bar off the bottom of the home screen. ?

Been years since ive flashed a custom rom, im currently on 14 beta 5.2 and wouldnt even know where to get the stock 13, im ok using adb and fastboot though
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Andrica:
1. Not sure

2. There is loads of tutorials on YouTube and google

3. Yes
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
1. Yes. SafetyNet passes straight out of the box so banking apps can be used.

2. Use this to go back to stock.

3. Yes you can.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] PilgrimToHyperion:
I installed this last night (new install) and have only run into one odd issue. I ccould't install ANY apps from the Playstore where I I was a beta tester. I had to exit the beta programme for each app, restart the phone and then I was able to install said apps.

I tried searching for this issue in this thread but could not find any info. Perhaps this helps someone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Im in the beta program too, my intentions are to leave the program, Flash back to stock android 13 and then flash this rom.

First learn how to fix it and then mess with it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Thanks for the link, that makes it dead easy to install stock.

Just one final question, I have an esim at the moment, will that get erased along the way or is there a way too keep it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
I use an eSIM as well and it stays every time I flash and new rom or go back to stock.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Thanks, great help
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Coil5574:
Have this Rom install on both my P7Pro and P7a, it is doing remarkably well however it seems like the "Smooth Display" option is missing on the P7a.

Forced high refresh rate option is also not visible in dev options.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Wmateria:
Smooth Display is in Display in Options.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Coil5574:
These settings do no show for the pixel 7a.

I have these settings on my pixel 7 pro and they can also be found by searching for them however neither method shows settings for resolution or smooth display on the 7a.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MutantFod:
Weird issue, just grabbed the most recent OTA update. After a errorfree install and reboot, all my Google Play apps cannot connect to the internet. Any app that wasn't installed through Google Play works just fine.

Is there any known cause of this or is it just a corrupted install and a full wipe and reinstall is necessary?

EDIT: Further investigation makes it weirder.

My original statement was not true, no apps have connection. The ones I thought did just had a big enough cache that I was fooled.

However, I woke up to 3 notifications that all require internet. Discord, Paypal and YT Music. Once I click them to see the content, they have no connection.
