[Google Pixel Fold] harpua:
First and foremost, I would like to say thank you for everything you've done here and all that you do. I'm hoping you could take a look at my support file and advise.

Looks like not switching slots properly, but I'm at a loss. Love this program though. Achieved root through it ~6 months ago and it's about time I do an ota.

Thank you again
[Google Pixel Fold] badabing2003:
When you see OTA stopping at 47%, (which is truely 50%)

It suggests a problem.

It could be a previous bad / partial flash (perhaps through Google's push).

See the suggestion I made here

Basicall Cancel a pending OTA update first and try again.

As you can see from that thread, it works for some.

If it doesn't, then you'd have to flash factory image instead of OTA.

If you flash factory to inactive slot and then reboot to system, you should be able to flash OTA afterwards if you want to have both slots bootable.

But first try the Cancel OTA option.

[Google Pixel Fold] cobram3:
@badabing2003 thank you for your hard work.

Question -

A few hours ago I got a Notification that an update is ready to be installed.

In the past when I eventually have to restart it, auto applies the update and I end up losing root.

I then have to refigure out pixel flasher and install an OTA and it's quite cumbersome.

I believe at one point you had a solution so that somehow I wont lose root (decline the upgrade perhaps which I'm ok with too).

Do you mind sharing again?
[Google Pixel Fold] badabing2003:
If you follow the guide you won't lose root.

If your device has already received OTA update pushed by Google, first cancel the OTA update from the device menu in PF and then do the steps in the guide.
[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
Updates often come out on or after the first Monday of the month. You can generally download and install your update before you would normally get that notification that an update is available.
[Google Pixel Fold] badabing2003:
New Release:

July 4, 2024 v7.0.0.0 change log:

When sideloading OTA, automatically cancel a previous OTA (in progress or completed but not rebooted), which assures a better success rate. (Only applies to rooted devices that are in adb mode).

Added My Tools Menu, you can now add custom tools to PixelFlasher to easily launch your favorite tools / apps (example odin3).

Added Process Image in PIF Manager, PixelFlasher can now process a device image and extract PIF print from it with a single click. (Currently supported image types are, Pixel firmware, Pixel OTA, images with payload.bin, Samsung firmware).

When reading device details, report the sys.oem_unlock_supported prop value.

Miscellaneous minor improvements.

July 14, 2024 v7.1.1.0 change log:

Bugfix: #221 handle a corner case exception.

Latest Release:

July 27, 2024 v7.2.0.0 change log:

In Magisk Manager, added the option to install Tricky Store module. (You now have 3 PIF related modules to choose from, Playintegrity Fix, Playintegrity fork, Tricky Store).

Updates to PIF Manager:

Option to convert from Json to prop (Env) format and vice versa (Tricky Store uses prop format) .

Compatible with Tricky Store (latest CI), you can now edit / update / test using Trick Store module.

Note: Tricky Store module does not yet support automatic updates, hence PixelFlasher is currently setup to point to the latest release in Github, this still uses Json file to spoof prints, use the latest CI.

If you have multiple PIF modules, for example if you use Trick Store and PiFork together, you can select which module's print you want to edit / update by selecting from the combo box. (Only enabled PIF modules are listed).

When loading prints from favorites, or console output, or using Smart Paste, PixelFlasher automatically converts the print to the format (json / prop) that the module requires.

Added option to push keybox.xml file to Tricky Store's predefine path.

Added a button to generate FrameworkPatcher compatible code for use in Android.java, just select the print, generate code and paste it in the proper section of Android.java to use your custom print with FrameworkPatcher.

Note: the generated code by default is commented out, as you can select multiple prints, just uncomment the ones you want to apply.

Added option to backup / restore /data/adb directory, please be aware that this only backs up / restores /data/adb/*, any modules that installs files outside this path will not be backed up, as it's impossible to know what all modules do.

New features in My Tools Manger:

Different methods to launch application.

Option to enable / disable launching detached process.

Option to insert separator.

Note: Start with the defaults and experiment if default behavior is unacceptable.

Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.
[Google Pixel Fold] badabing2003:
Update Release:

July 28, 2024 v7.2.0.1 change log:

I was wondering if there was anything similar to the iPhone app that's always on commercials where you can see where your friends are and all that. Do we have anything similar that doesn't require the other phones to have Windows Mobile?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Kerensky97:
I did something like that through FireEagle when I was testing that out. A program on the phone (I can't remember if it was Navizon or Mologo) fed my location to FireEagle and from there it could feed to other social networking sites. I was mostly using it to track my day through Dipity with last.fm, twitter, and location from FireEagle.

Then I realized that I don't want people having that much easy knowledge of my whereabouts and actions. When people I didn't like started asking me why I went to *blank* over the weekend without calling them I decided it's more of a pain than a benefit. My phone isn't for others convenience, it's for MY convenience.

It wasn't as compact and developed as that iPhone app looks but could be fed into alot of things so there were alot of possibilities.

Anyway start at FireEagle, it plugs into alot of interesting things like that. Although I'm not going back until one social networking program sifts to the top that the majority of people will be using.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aceofspades1217:
It probobly will not be too good when your friends see that you went to a gay bar on saturday. xD

Yes I definitely don't want my friends to constantly know where I am. It reminds me of that dane cook skit where he doesn't go to his friend's party and says that he got into a car accident.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] allhalf425:
Haha at the risk of sounding like a stalker, I don't want them to know where I am, I want to know where they are. Basically I just want to know where my parents are so I can prepare in case they're in the area and decide to just stop by :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Jiggs1337:
That is not possible, unless you install something on their phone, such as FireEagle without their knowledge.

hello hello

i'm trying to find a way to install the Android 13 Update on the Vita V40. There's a issue with permissions and networking on this phone, it's factory android 11, but nothing connects, the v40 vita is constantly sending push notifications overloading the 3GB ram, disconnecting active threads without reperations. no of my smartwatches connect to multiple app, and none of these run full capacities. the solar plus, the mk66 and gt3/qw33 all don't run the firmware programs it's coming with, i have no opportunity to even read out the thermometer data on one of them, there's no app which these watch connect on this phone which captures and gives out thermometer data, all the smartwatches including the huawei watch 3 are constantly pushed out of connection, no bluetooth speaker does even hold the connection even when you are moving with your phone behind a object or curve, go behind a wall, which is 2 meters afar and the connection starts stuttering till somewhen the sheduler throws the media playback out of the active threads. i have the android 13 zip, i tried kingroot, i managed to get to the "try to root" once, but then it had a network error, iroot app does get till the rooting when i'm off the wlan and on the LTE, but there's no playstore reference anymore for confirmation of the root, it just stays unactivated. VROOT from the PC just says it's not working. the developers setting to download the DSU, the Dynamic System Update to install the android 13 version needs a root or it fails to install too. i need a way to update the android 13 update on this phone, this phone is not able to deal with the destructive notification system introduced with android 7, android 13 is fixed from it, but it's more than problematic to get the update on there and to get anything even running with it. what's the caution points to deal with and what's the route on the blade v40 vita to install root, the DSU loader and Android 13 on the device?

*friendship greets*
[Blade Android Development] Tsatshichi:
i know the v40 normal edition runs normal, but i want the v40 vita neural frontcamera for hearth monitor, core and the AI functions of the watches. i don't have money for the v40 pro.
[Blade Android Development] Tsatshichi:
i don't either have the money to get myself the honor gts3 watch, which has a bluetooth and wlan connectivity guard system installed in the firmware to overwrite antenna circuits and stop ram flushing programsets on the v40 vita android 11. it's not just a v40 vita problem, basically all lite phones short circuit the wlan antennas systematically and break and block bluetooth connections which are not full protected propietaire hardware and software environments which are as google wear or huawei health.

and where do i get access to the real colmi fitness app and the pokemon smartband app? dafit on the colmi m41 is a joke!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Which model? The US (U/U1) models, or the other models? If you have the U model, you will have to wait until your carrier pushes it. If it is the U1, then you will have to wait until Samsung pushes it.

For the devices updated directly by Samsung, they roll out by region. You just need to be patient.
