New Release:

Sep 19, 2023 v5.8.0.0 release

Added support for scrcpy (Screen Copy), you can now launch scrcpy to the attached device, configuration is done in the main settings window.

Completely redid the wireless connection, there is now wireless manager, that shows history, status and quick selection from history, and supports wireless debugging which requires pairing and is the only option for newer OS-es.

For crDroid and other non Pixel firmware automatically set to Full OTA mode (ie sideload) if payload.bin is detected.

Added a button to reboot to userspace fastboot (fastbootd).

Added system menu to be able to move, resize, minimize, maximize. (useful when the window is of the screen)

When extracting from payload.bin, optionally also extract (if available) dtbo.img, super_empty.img, vendor_boot.img, vender_kernel_boot.img in addition to boot.img and init_boot.img (configurable in the settings), as some of these images are needed for 3rd party firmware flashing.

On Linux, display a message when terminal app is not set and open shell feature is used.

For Samsung devices, when creating a tar file of a patched boot, use POSIX tar format.

Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.

@badabing2003 Do you know if this tool will work updating to A14 with userdata intact from A13?
[Google Pixel tablet] badabing2003:
Generic questions are better covered in the main thread, this question has been asked many times and the answer is yes.

Although you have a tablet, there is nothing specific or different to the tablet than any other recent pixel model.

[Google Pixel tablet] ntegra:
PixelFlasher not giving my tablet enough time to get into sideload mode. I did first pass of 13 -> 14 OTA. That went fine. Now I try to do the second slot and it fails. PixelFlasher tries to "install" about 10 secs before tablet gets into sideload.

Update Release:

Nov 14, 2023 v6.0.1.1 release

Bug fix: Make sure Low memory settings are loaded at startup.

After flashing factory or OTA, on last reboot to system, increase the wait from 60 to 90 seconds to make sure the device loads all the way to system and does not timeout PF. Although the error message is benign, it creates unnecessary anxiety seeing an error message in the console and thinking that something is wrong.

[Google Pixel tablet] Slicc98:
I know I'm getting the PT for Christmas (my son can't keep quiet about it 😅) so I had a question: should I go ahead and root straight out of the box after setup and unlock bootloader, or set I fully up and update the regular way and THEN begin the process?
[Google Pixel tablet] badabing2003:
If you plan to root, the very first step / pre-requisite is to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe your data, so it goes without saying that whatever you do before that will be lost.

First make sure the phone your getting, the bootloader is unlockable, otherwise you won't be able to root.

Brand new phones will have one slot blank, so for good measure I prefer flashing full stock OTA at least once (or updating OTA on the phone), this will assure that at least both slots are at least bootable to bootloader.

Then you can do whatever you please.
[Google Pixel tablet] Slicc98:
It's the Pixel Tablet. I thought I put that in my first post but I abbreviated it. So just update over the phone first to fill both slots?
[Google Pixel tablet] badabing2003:
New Release:

Dec 08, 2023 v6.3.2.0 release

Added Dump Screen XML (uiautomator).

With SPIC and Play Integrity Api Checker apps, when they hit quota limits, detect and report.

Added Playintegrity testing using Play Store (Developer options need to be enabled. First run takes longer as PixelFlasher tries to find the coordinates of the elements).

Added a setting to disable Firmware / OTA image hash validation, useful for firmware images that are for Pixel devices (example CalyxOS) but don't follow Google's naming convention.

Detect and report cases where a device rebooted into bootloader mode is not detected by the PC, provide suggestion on how to fix / continue.

Make the Magisk management window resizable and remember and load last size on startup.

Support for older Pif modules PROPS-v2.1 and PROPS-v2.0 as they store pif.json in a different location.

Improve pif.json extraction by detecting and using (if need be) ro.product.vendor.name ro.product.vendor.device ro.product.vendor.manufacturer ro.product.vendor.brand ro.product.vendor.model ro.vendor.build.fingerprint ro.vendor.build.security_patch

add pif print BUILD_ID extraction.

Other minor improvements.

Added Auto Check Play Integrity which automatically triggers the selected Play Integrity checker after editing or auto-pushing pif.json.
[Google Pixel tablet] badabing2003:
New Release:

Dec 21, 2023 v6.4.0.0 release

A new resizable Pif Manager dialog decoupled from Magisk dialog.

Pif Manager new features:

Two pane window, top pane always showing the active loaded pif.json (if one is present, it is automatically loaded), bottom pane showing the output of processing props or Play Integrity testing.

Easy to use paste button to paste the output of the processed props into active pif.

Real time json validation (input is handled as json5 to allow json5 formatting / commenting, however the saving to device is done in regular json to keep it backward compatible.

Pushing to device is disabled if the contents are not a valid json.

If you make changes to local active pif, an indicator will reflect that changes need to be pushed.

Reload pif.json which reloads from device and discards what is in active pif window.

Few other features and improvements in in the works.

#129 Resizable and scrollable settings dialog for smaller display resolution devices.

Improved Magisk manager.

Pif install modules allows you to select @osm0sis or @chiteroman module.

Added Paste Down button to transfer the contents of Active Pif to Output Console (useful for reprocessing a pif.json.

Added Reprocess button to reprocess and produce pif.json compatible with the installed module version. Useful when different versions of modules require / depend on different fields / props. (Note: this is compatible with @osm0sis modules, @chiteroman modules change often and it's hard to keep up, I've done my best to keep compatibility with some of those versions).

Fill in missing build fields from fingerprint or vice versa.

Added an option to add missing fields with values from running phone (not the donor print)

Added an option to point to a directory full of json files and import them to favorites.
