The Mous Super Thin case with MagSafe is the thinnest edge that offers protection unlike the PHNX/Peel/MNML case. Though the buttons are cutouts, I like it but I'm returning it just cuz of the cost and cutouts.

I have a quad lock mount for my bike, so i went with the obvious choice of the Pixel 8 Pro Mag case they offer. Compatible with their mag accessories, wireless charging and magsafe.

I never had the courage to for a bike lock mount, fearing all those pot-holes would eventually cause the phone to thunder away at 30 km/h. Especially since no phone is super snug in a case, and it's always possible that a phone would slip out of a case with enough force (so we're not only talking about the potential of the lock mount failing).

How has your experience been over the years?

Never once had the mount come loose nor have I had the phone dislodge from the locking mechanism. Phone also never popped out of the case. Quad Lock is a bit pricey imo, but it's good quality. I use the out front mount pro.

I generally ride my bike around town 3-5 times a week for about 10 miles or less, so I'm not doing anything too demanding, but I'd imagine that it would hold up if I did. Had this mount for over 5 years (I think?) or however long the N20 ultra has been available with a quad lock case.

Rock solid imo.

These were my favorite cases for my Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro, so I went with them again for my 8 Pro. I've got the blue and black and once again, they're awesome. Thin, nice snug fit, buttons are clicky, really good grip, and I like that they protect the camera bar. Just a great all-around case.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
I got mine the other day and love it. The color is just awesome. The Google store has it for about $15 cheaper and free shipping. Just throwing that out there if that helps change you mind.

I don't have my phone yet, ordered thru google ($400 discount for existing google fi customers) so not as quick as amazon, but I ordered a presidio2 grip. I have used them in the past with several brands, I was very disappointed they didn't make one for the p7p. When I saw it was available for the p8p I couldn't resist ordering both the phone and the case. $401 after discount and trade in.

Kept my phone case simple and got Spigen Ultra Hybrid only concern with this kinda material that it might go yellow but can't argue with the price.

Just wait til you see the dust build up around the frame. Also in the top speaker. I couldn't use it anymore
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wilpang:
Yeah I can agree with that assessment but I can't think of others not doing that also due to the cutouts causing a tunnel effect.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bkrickles:
I bought 7 cases from Amazon in preparation for my 8 pro, which came a couple of weeks ago.

All the popular ones mentioned here.

There, actually, wasn't a bad one in the bunch but I didn't really love any of them.

In the past few days I received my official Google case and the Bellroy.

For me, they are both perfect. The fit and finish is great and they both feel terrific in my hand.

I'm set and returning all the others to Amazon.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gilg@mesh:
anyone know if there is a clear slim bumper case? I just want it to protect the aluminium frame of the phone not the back.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BranBro365:
I have the X-Level Carbon Fiber case which I'm currently rocking on my P8P. It looks great, fits very snug but is an absolute ***** to get off. I also got the Spigen Tough Armour and Caseology Parallax. I rocked the Parallax for the first week and really like it but decided to go with the carbon fiber case for maximum thinness. The Tough Armour case is great but just a bit too bulky for my liking. I don't plan on getting anymore cases, fingers crossed, since I usually get 10-15 cases with every new phone i get and then they just end up sitting in a box until i get a newer phone and i just give them away. So 3 cases it is.

Did anybody try the Tech21? Is it so protective as they claim? Does it yellow over time?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] entropism:
I've used Tech21 for my past few phones, and yeah, I trust them as far as protection goes. They're one of the few cases that survives my friends' kid tossing their iphone around, and my wife dropping her phone CONSTANTLY.

As for yellowing, I know their Evo Check series used to yellow years ago, but I haven't seen any yellowing lately.

I want to say someone mentioned in that thread that the dbrand works
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
I am thinking root and juggling the timing of the pre-order and trade in. I rather root from the go since it wipes when bootloader is unlocked and I rather not re-setup the phone.

Assuming Google is not late like it has been, I would imagine the first opportunity is the first Monday of November? I am asking the XDA brain trust about past practices. I do recall that they released the Fold's image shortly after release...

Any insights? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] tauio111:
Most likely 12th of October. 6 and 7 had their factory images release on their corresponding release dates.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
If memory serves from prior release the release was around the same time the phones starting hitting front porches.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Zanzibar:
You can also go ahead and unlock the bootloader immediately, then flash the magisk_patched file once the images are released, and you've patched it.

That way you won't have to re-wipe data, and can get your phone set up in the meantime.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
Not sure if this will have any influence on the release of the factory images, but this article might be of interest here:

Google Pixel updates will now come out when they're ready instead of on specific dates

Alongside the debut of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, Google has clarified that updates for Pixel phones will now release when they're ready.

9to5google.com

It seems that Google will step away from strict update schedules in order to improve quality, could also have influence on the posting of the factory images.

@Ultimoose I remember that as well, even though it took a day or two after the "official" first delivery dates I think. The earliest we have right now (according to the other thread here) is 12/13th, so we should expect the factory images to be released around 12-14th of October I think.

Hello everyone

The GPS signal stops refreshing after 30-60 seconds of working flawlessly. When it works, its really good, the GPS test app shows 16-26 satellites, but then it just stops refreshing and gets stuck in the same position.

Any help please? It's getting depressing :(

Someone tried to root? Safety net pass?

And skvalex call record works with A14?
[Google Pixel 7] atom_jack:
I updated to 14 yesterday and it went through very smoothly. I was already rooted, with safety net passed, and it still passed. I kept data and everything appears to be fine.
[Google Pixel 7] dat_Noko:
Do you use the Universal SafetyNet Fix Magisk module to pass safetynet?

Did you side load the ota and reflashed a patches boot image or did you used pixel flasher?
[Google Pixel 7] atom_jack:
Yes, I used the Universal SafetyNet Fix Magisk Module, and in fact I already had it before I went from 13 to 14, and didn't have to re-do it. I used PixelFlasher to flash the factory zip.
[Google Pixel 7] asamofal:
Updated my Pixel 7, no issues for me as well (PixelFlasher + factory image). Previously there was a bug in platform tools: the flashing process hanging after reboot, with Platform tools 34.0.4 I flashed my Pixel with no issues, so recommend to use 34.0.4 version.

Magisk, AOSP Mods, Universal SafetNet FIx. No problems so far but not to much new features as well (as for me) :) I expected a bit more from a new major version, so waiting to December features drop...
[Google Pixel 7] kingfui:
Any chance you can confirm Google pay and banks work as expected?
[Google Pixel 7] asamofal:
All the apps work without any issues. But I have no chance to make a real Google Pay test today...

Also I tried "SafetNet Test" and got "CTS profile math: fail". I'm using Displayx seftynet-fix-mod-2.0, maybe I need to try that test with v1.3... I can update you here when I have any new information.
[Google Pixel 7] asamofal:
I found some issues on Github about the problem with CTS profile match for Displax's safetynetfix-mod v2.4.0-MOD_2.0, so the solution is just using the previous version: v2.4.0-MOD_1.3

With v1.3 SafetyNet check passed, so it's 99% that Google Pay should not have any complains:

Morning Guys

It's been a long time since I was into rooting phones. Latest thing I did was rooting my pixel 7. Yesterday I received the A14 update via OTA. I was wondering, what my next steps would be to gain root access again? Any help is appreciated

***Edit***

My best guess would be:

Grab the A14 Full OTA image provides by Google

Extract the init_boot.img

Patch the file with magisks and flash it with adb

Would that be the correct way?
[Google Pixel 7] dat_Noko:
Correct you just need to flash the patched init_boot.img

The Pixelflasher thread recommends Magisk App 26301 don't know if there is any importance here but i did use it and it works.

Just don't forget to flash the init_boot via "fastboot flash init_boot magisk_patched_ini_boot.img" happened to me once where i flashed it to the regular boot img.
[Google Pixel 7] Stefan-Duisburg:
Thank you. I remember there was an issue trying to flash the patched init_boot on my end, had to flash it into the other slot.

Again: thank you, will do it later

Cheers
[Google Pixel 7] Stefan-Duisburg:
Worked. But again, the command I had to use was

fastboot flash init_boot_b "filename.img"

Without the _b it won't work on my end, ending in an error message "no such file or directory"

Hi again.

I've flashed A14 by pixelflasher. Patched boot image for root. For safetynet I use v2.4.0-MOD_1.3.

Google pay works fine.

Call recordings works.

One question, should I flash again A14 for inactive slot?
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I think it might be prudent, because it's not really a good idea to have two different AndroidOS versions on our two slot devices -- see Pixel 6 A12 -> A13 warning on Google Development page; not that that's the case here, but in that case a failure & rolling back would cause a hardbrick (if I understood correctly, I never had a Pixel 6).

If you want to update to A14 on an inactive slot, I suggest sideloading the Full OTA instead of flashing (using PF) the Full Factory....Here is PF's dev explaining it to me...

[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
Is there anything special about the OTA process when updating to A14 such as f.e. requirement to be unrooted or something like that.

Is it the same as the normal OTA's from A13 as in it leaves data alone?
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
Data is safe. You'll need to use the Magisk uninstall feature to avoid having to re-root. Here's a copy/paste of the instructions. Always backup your files, just in case.

Before you take the OTA...

- Open Magisk, tap Uninstall, then Restore Images.

= If you have any Magisk modules that modify system, uninstall them now.

- Take the OTA update when prompted. To check for updates manually, go to Settings > System > System Update > Check for Update

- Allow the update to download and install. DO NOT REBOOT WHEN PROMPTED!!!

- Open Magisk, tap Install at the top, then Install to inactive slot.

Magisk will then reboot your device.

You should now be updated with root.
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
Ah, sorry, I was talking about sideloading the OTA, I don't do magisk in system install, last time I tried I hardbricked my device
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
Sideloading the Full OTA is the same as on A13. You can be rooted but you'll lose root in the process. You won't lose data.
[Google Pixel 6a] greeneyez15o:
I always had issues with side loading ota .

This worked for me

Update through the pixel/nexus img flasher from the site.

Then flashed magisk-patched.img through fastboot

All good 👍

Never had to uninstall magisk using this method.

Once I flash the patched img , all my modules r still available

I am now able to enable OEM unlocking. This was a long-standing issue with Android 13. I did have to perform a complete reset, however.
[Google Pixel 6a] Dav3m45:
I used the Magisk uninstall method to update to Android 14. I followed the directions and everything worked great for about a week. I had to reboot my phone and I've since lost root. I've already rebooted a few times before with no issue, so I'm not sure what happened. Any way to get root back at this point? Hopefully without wiping data?
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
I mean loosing root isn't much of an issue, just extract your boot image of your current firmware or wait for your next OTA and while doing the OTA grab the boot.img.

patch the boot.img and flash or live boot it.

easiest just wait for the next ota and follow my ota update with pixel flasher guide.

sorry for the late reply, didnt check in for a while.

[General Questions and Answers] AdamLeander:
I have a twrp.img 2.8.2.0 from the XDA forums for the RCA Voyager rct6773w22. There are various versions of this device apparently and from what I have read all attempts to obtain a stock rom have failed. There is a second later version of TWRP posted which does boot however has no touch input. Mind you some how scrcpy is able to make use of --otg and the image is functional with a keyboard and mouse. I have two of the rct6773w22b and rct6773w22. The image loads on both devices but only when flashed. Neither image will load when you use fastboot boot twrp.img. It said it's loading, and never does, and has yet to error out, it just sits there....The first tablet went messed up for some reason and the only way to get it back was to flash a rom mentioned on the same XDA forum for a Chinese device Cube U25GT_C4Y. This device was Android 4.4 and it's far from stable. I found the second tablet with intent to succeed where others had failed. However, after pulling the preloader.bin and connecting the device for the second read back to get the firmware, a blue arch blew out the usb port and the screen flashed. A 2gb file was pulled however it's blank, and all files pulled since are blank. The device is in meta mode. I have now a third tablet which is stock. I have used the 2.8.2.0 twrp and tested with the other two devices using various roms even formatting their memories bootsectors and all. BLASPHEMY I know!! But they are unbrickable so far. Am I safe to use this TWRP I discovered to create a backup of my newest device?? I have the ability to root it, but I don't want it rooted. I just want to back it up for safe keeping, and hopefully use it to bring the first two tablets back to Android Lollipop. I'm not a developer and I haven't done anything to this twrp image I take no credits, but no one on XDA mentions that the twrp works, they kept trying to use sp flash tools and wwr_mtk to get backups. TWRP way seems better. It won't give the ability to bring the device back from any situation where it refuses to boot into the twrp recovery, but at least one would have a backup to restore it to stock after rooting it and doing the ungodly things one can do to ones Android. AND oddly, on all the forums here and truly everywhere else I've seen this device mentioned, the w22 has Android 4.4 and the w22b has Android 5. Both my versions of the Voyager ii came with Android 5, same boot logo, but different boot animations. I unboxed them myself they were stock. Thanks for reading!
[General Questions and Answers] Wayway322:

For the stock tablet? I have no backup of that one. It's still stock. And can't get a firmware anywhere I can find. I have the links for the images I mashed together to bring back the first one but it's apparently hit or miss with these rare devils.

So far #3 has proven quite informative tho to no real end. There's an engineering menu on these things and buried in one of its sub-pages is the partition table which would have made things so much easier in the beginning.

Also, seems many bricked their devices using fastboot oem unlock or such, pretty sure the bootloader aren't even locked but I refuse to do anything ungodly to the third tablet lol
