You shouldn't have to delete an entire line. It's only the "-w " (without quotes) that you need to delete. Re-extract the flash-all.bat from the original firmware zip if you need to.

You don't. Are you already on Android 14 Beta? I'm confused, because the last you mentioned, you were on Android 13 Stable.

If you extract the Android 14 Beta firmware zip, and edit that flash-all.bat to remove the -w, then you can use that flash-all.bat to "upgrade" from your current Android 13 Stable to Android 14 Beta. As I said, your mileage may vary that way, as some users have reported a better experience wiping before first flashing 14 Beta.

The flash-all.bat doesn't root your phone. As my OP of my Stable thread says, you have to run the commands manually to flash the Magisk'd init_boot.img. You enter that command manually - it's not in the flash-all.bat. The flash-all.bat, as it comes within Google's firmware zip, just flashes the stock ROM in its entirety. By default, it wipes your phone clean when it does so, unless you remove the "-w".

There are ways of integrating flashing the rooted init_boot.img into the flash-all.bat. It's not hard, but you should master things first, and do things one at a time until you get used to it and more comfortable.

You sent the stock init_boot.img to the phone, then patched it with Magisk. Then you need to send that Magisk'd copy of init_boot.img back over to the computer, since that's where you're doing the flashing from (using fastboot.exe).

No. And it doesn't matter what filename the Magisk'd init_boot.img has, as long as you know what it is.

If anything, I feel my instructions in my Stable thread are too detailed. Don't worry, you'll figure this out. Please quote exactly the part of my instructions that you need help understanding.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I read to deep..Rooted now thanks

After patching simply put in fastboot mode and ran fastboot flash init_boot patched _init.boot.img reboot to root on A14..yay
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In about 10 minutes, I'm going to give you a test on all this, so once you repeat the steps about five times, let me know, and I'll get started.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
zygisk and deny list actually working my bank apps are not detecting root..ok i spoke too soon..lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
finally i can disable zram and lock my cpu and gpu frequencies. change my governor from pixel_shedule to my favorite "performance"..

sadly i cant change the gpu settings..

is there another kernel app besides fk kernel im using that can modify the gpu?? why (null)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you have Displax' USNF Mod installed? Sometimes it can take hours, or a day, or a reboot after changing configurations in Magisk, for things to take effect.

What do these apps say?

YASNAC - SafetyNet Checker

Launch it.

Click Run SafetyNet Attestation.

It should say:

Basic integrity: Pass

CTS profile match: Pass

Evaluation type: BASIC

Play Integrity API Checker

Launch it.

Click Check.

It should have the following with a green checkmark:

MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY

MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY

It's normal for MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY to have a red X.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
no i didn't add any modules yet. ill check on those apps

edit:

failed miserably lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, the SafetyNet instructions in my OP are commonly needed to fool most apps, although there are some banks' apps that don't get fooled no matter what. All the ones I use work fine with that module.

You may need to reboot after for it to take effect.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
What i do is I already hide the magisk app under a random name then install the bank apps i want

then under deny list i check all the options to deny the apps packages .

After that open the app and no root detection..

Some bank apps are stricter than others..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:

I thought you might need something more than that, since you said the below:

Good to know, thank you! I'll try to remember to delay updating next month until I hear about other users' experiences.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I said that because i stated in a previous post that i was tired of workarounds for my banking apps so i stayed un rooted lol.. now there being hidden when im rooted on Android 14.. lol go figure..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Lol funny i have all these magisk modules i wana try that i used on my Motorola's, none of these modules would enhance this pixel at all..

"Best" way to update to latest OTA image if rooted/Magisk etc? Just disable modules, unhide Magisk, uninstall then flash update then patch Magisk again, enable modules and good to go? Thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Same as in the Stable (Android 13) thread:

Post #2 - Unlocking Bootloader / Rooting / Updating | SafetyNet | ADB/Fastboot & Windows USB Drivers:

How to update each month (and also how to root)

[requires an unlocked bootloader for updating via this factory image method]

I don't uninstall Magisk, I just disable modules, unhide Magisk, I go ahead and Magisk-patch the init_boot.img at that point, then update, flash the Magisk'd init_boot.img, make sure all modules are updated, then ree-enable them.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gpvecchi:
I personally download both OTA and factory image. I prepare the rooted IMG from factory image, I flash the OTA, restart to bootloader and flash patched IMG. Without disabling anything.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
i do the exact same thing..

download ota zip then move to cpu

download factory image extract on phone using zarcher and copy over the init_boot.img and vbmeta.img over to cpu

then patch init_boot.img with magisk

copy to cpu.

Then sideload ota zip once finished

dont reboot simply use volume key to enter bootloader

lastly flash magisk_patched init_boot.img

reboot.. updated to 4.2 kept root and data..

Anyone had issue on latest A14 beta 4 with drop calls? Clean flashed OTA image via adb sideload and format data after that. I had phisical sim and e-sim which use for mobile data. Preferenced network is set to 4G as 5G here doesnt work. Also set to 2g. When i was in call had networh drop and drop call. Any tips to fix that? thanks

Beta 4 is amazing for me in terms of battery life compared to july android 13. First time beta user here, didnt do any reset. Rock solid
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
My cpu frequencies are finally sticking and on boot.

Looks like EX Kernel Manager works well with theees pixel kernels.

Also file upload/sharing is working on this beta 4.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rosms:
For me the Pixel IMS+ Shizuku helps a lot, geting vowifi and volte in unsuported country, no more dropped calls
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Josh:
Thanks,i will try. Latest beta 4 seems great as I have better battery life and smooth compared to A13 but droped calls is disaster.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rosms:
For me pixel ims didnt work on beta 3. Later i found out on the pixel ims forum that it helps to create a APN with IMS on name.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Josh:
Pixel IMS + Shizuku installed successfully but unfortunately same sh*t , don't know what to do but back to A13
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] motoridersd:
The radio in Beta 4 works much better than the Beta 3 radio. I am back to getting similar coverage to what I had on Android 13. I don't know if I had 3CA where I am before, don't usually pay much attention.

What is still broken on Beta 4 for me is using map apps other than Google Maps. Flightradar for example makes the phone unresponsive if I try to move around in the map, the whole phone stops responding to any input. I can't go home, I can't even turn off the screen, until the map/app is done rendering what I asked it to do. It will slowly do everything as if there is a several second delay between map actions. It's unusable. If I don't touch the map, or just double tap to zoom in, I don't have problems.

Is this due to new GPU/rendering?

edit: I finally found the culprit. The issue persisted when I moved to a Pixel 8 Pro (never went away on the 7 Pro), but it wasn't there as soon as I restored. Turns out it was AutoInput (for Tasker) and this happens when it is running its Accessibility Service. I was using this to read information from my car's app to scrape battery and other data to send to Home Assistant.

if i going from feb stable rom to this a14 previeuw build can i yust dirty flash it without losing anything

or do i need clean flash (eg loosing all data ) ? also i have unlocked bootloader
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
At least some people have dirty flashed it.

I think the only time you have to factory reset is when downgrading - such as if you went back to Stable or QPR Beta.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] boontje3:
thanks for the fast response i was not sure so beter ask than trouble

ill try to dirty flash first and iff their are to many buggs or somthing i will see if factory resert would help it to sort it out .

ik think a clean install is always the best way but i ill see what happens with a dirty flash

also sorry for bad english my mane language is dutch

Sorry for posting similar problem...

after full format on both slots i still can't enable zygisk,the only way is with magisk delta.

I was on latest beta and install dp with flash tool. I couldn't find a way to enable zygiks,so i wipe everything.

Nothing changes,exact the same.

I am ok with delta, just wondering if anyone has the same problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Any reviews on the February update? Have any of the? "Bug fixes and improvements" led to better battery life in idle drain? I know. Everybody's set up varies, but I had to ask. I'm want that November battery life back. Idle drain was next to nothing- next to an iPhone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Are you talking about the February Stable firmware or this Android 14 Developer Preview 1? I'm guessing that this DP1 is on the January security update since it's 230113 even though it came out February 8th, although I'm not running it, so I don't know for sure.

If you're talking about the Stable February update, then Unlock bootloader / Root Pixel 7 Pro [Cheetah] / SafetyNet is the better place to ask.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Barsky:
Yes, zygisk won't enable for me even though it is checked off.

Is this version usable as daily driver? Do bank apps work? Anyone in unsuported country tried the non root fix for volte on A14?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I know this is an extreme suggestion, but at any point in the 14 Beta process have you started with a factory reset? I only ask because factory reset solved at least a handful of users' issues. I am not using the Beta, but that sort of thing (having to factory reset for better behavior on Betas) is common.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] motoridersd:
No, I have not started with a factory reset, and that's a great suggestion. If no one is experiencing my issue, then most likely a reset will fix it, but if others are having the same problem I'll hold off on it until the final version is out.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't recall anyone else mentioning the same issue. Good luck, and you're welcome!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
I have noticed two miniscule issues on the latest Android 14 beta. And please note that I always wipe my phone before flashing any updated beta factory image =).

The first issue that I have noticed is that the PayPal app no longer works. It immediately force closes itself after opening it and clicking the "login" button.

The second issue is that every once in a while (roughly once every 1-2 weeks), the backlight intensity cuts itself in half. Once this occurs, manually dragging the brightness slider does not increase the display's brightness at all. However, simply restarting the phone resolves the problem. But who knows if this is a common issue or if others have experienced it on the latest beta build. It could have just been a coincidence and is something that I will never experience again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
I am on Beta 3, clean flash and have the freezing issue.

Have had this happen with Google Maps & Phone app mostly.

Was hoping Beta 4 fixes it, as nothing works except a hard reset (vol down + power) for me
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] badadam:
Some banking apps detect beta builds as rooted or not safe. I installed A14.4 on my P7Pro and my bank app crashes right away. I contacted the apps support and they told me that they don´t support beta builds (including iOS) as they consider beta builds unsafe security wise. Might seem to be the same thing with your PayPal app.

Apart from that Android 14.4 is running smoothly and eveything seems to be working. Battery is good too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] motoridersd:
My PayPal app works fine, and I have not wiped my phone. I upgraded from Android 13, so maybe having the app already installed and logged in allows it to continue to work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
Hmm, that's interesting. Thank you for the info! It's odd because the app has worked for me on the previous two Android 14 beta builds (my bank apps have worked as well - and still do), hence why I am a little confused as to why the PayPal app isn't working on the latest build.

So, perhaps what you had mentioned is correct and upgrading to the latest A14B4 factory image without wiping is what has allowed it to continue to work. Just make sure that you don't wipe the app's cache and data and take the risk of having it start automatically force closing on you as well, haha =P.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
If i want to go back to stable a13 build, just i have to full wipe and flash a13 build?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It depends. If you officially opted in to the 14 Beta program, then you should opt out and wait for it to give you an OTA to downgrade (which will wipe your phone, too). If you did opt in and don't opt out, and you manually downgrade, then it'll give you an OTA back to 14 Beta.

If you didn't opt in, then yes, just flash the factory image, and leave the -w in the flash-all.bat. If you have USB Debugging enabled, you could also use the Official Google Android Flash Tool, making sure the option to re-lock the bootloader isn't checked, if you had it unlocked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
Thank you, I didn't opt in official program, Yes enabled USB debugging, But i use PixelFlasher which will do everything easily, No probelm?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I can't specifically say whether there would be a problem or not, but there's no reason there should be an issue using it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
Hey,

Anyone using the latest beta 4 and rooted? If so, do you guys have any problem with the safetynet Magisk module and banking apps? (or apps detecting root in general)

Someone talked about that in the P7P thread for stable releases but I thought it'd be more appropriate to ask here :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pixel86:
No issues here with Tap-2-Pay (Google Wallet) + banking apps and being rooted on Beta 4. I'm using Magisk 26.1 with Kdragon's safetynet module.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
There is no guarantee that every banking app will work.

If that's a deal breaker, probably best not to root.

For me most banking apps work, but there are a couple which don't
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
Oh I know. It's always the dumbest thing: they block you from using their app if you're rooted but you can use their website to do the exact same thing. I'll never understand 🤷‍♂️

"Now Playing" is broken again. Manually launching a search works from the lock screen, but it doesn't automatically detect and display the music playing in the background anymore. It worked fine in the beta 3. Or Am I the only one having this issue ? As I didn't see it reported yet
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Working fine for me
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakoukass:
really ? Sorry to ask but just want to be sure : It AUTOMATICALLY detects and displays the music playing in the background on your lock screen (always on) ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Yes :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakoukass:
Ok thanks. Anyone else confirming that it works/doesn't ?

Additional question Letmedanz if you don't mind : what's the approx length for your phone to identify and display the title after you launch a music title ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Depends. Some are instantaneous, others take upto 20-30 seconds
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ScoobyWRX:
Strange, but mine didn't work in beta 3, works fine with 4.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakoukass:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ScoobyWRX:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Working for me as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakoukass:
In fact I just noticed that it works for very known musics like for instance "Invisible Touch" by Genesis, but it won't detect stuff like Fear Factory or more underground bands. Which is odd because, when I manually click on the button on the lock screen it manages to find those... So it means they are in the database. Very strange way of (not) working. And I think it was not the case before with Android 13... Would be good if Google could stop breaking stuff with the updates that worked well before...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dr.Pepper:
Guys, im facing strange issue. Phone doesnt show correctly missed incoming calls in phone app (doesnt show at all, only outcalls)
