If you get the PixelFlasher logs (support button) to @badabing2003, he might be able to shed some light. It sounds like to me that it wasn't actually downloaded, but asking you to reboot sounds like it was to me.

I'm glad the factory image flash worked fine for you.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
Thanks for the log advice. I believe are correct that the OTA did not download. I thought it did because the phone prompted me to reboot rather than download the update. Either way, I appreciate all the help, as always.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] badabing2003:
Sorry. just got back to checking the thread and responded in the thread here.

For reference:
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] badabing2003:
If you observed this after running the "Cancel OTA Update" command in PF, then it's because PF undid the update.

When you see the reboot notification, at that point update is already in the alternate slot,

Upon reboot it will do further checks and complete the switch if it passes verification, if it fails, it will revert to current slot and fail the update.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
No worries at all, @badabing2003 . Thanks for the great support and being so willing to help!

Anyone have any ideas? Even though I'm passing basic and device integrity, could it be the pif causing teams to see my phone as rooted?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The only idea I have is one that has been mentioned more and more recently, although it's been around for a while, which is Shamiko:

Releases · LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io

Contribute to LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

I haven't used it yet myself. I also don't know if this is the only or best place to get it from, or if it's the latest version.

I don't think the fingerprint or passing basic and device integrity actually hides root, or that the bootloader is unlocked, for that matter. I think things just depend on what the apps look for. It's possible Microsoft's apps have started to look for root using more methods.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
Funny you mention shamiko. This actually happened a few weeks ago, and nothing worked until I installed it. But, I left enforce denylist on and shamiko wasn't actually doing anything..
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Yes it's the new portal update for Microsoft. I will find the fix right now and post the work around. From what I've had it works. And for others as well. Though my rooted phone is p5, it should work for husky also.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ItzMar:
I just got my P8P today.

Is it better/quicker to let it update itself to latest/March and then unlock bootloader, root and so on?

Or should I be unlocking bootloader, root and then patch to latest/march?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] vegetaleb:
Finally unrooted my P8P yesterday, of course it wiped data but I didn't re-lock the bootloader.

All back to stock but 2 things are weird:

-The shutter sound on/off option is in the camera app, I don't know if it's normal in stock?

-Mcdonalds app can't get pass the country selection, it gives an error and crash, all bank and money apps are working though.

Is the McDonald's app checking bootloader locking status too?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would go ahead and unlock the bootloader, and follow the Full OTA Zip instructions in Post #2. I need to update them sometime to have a link to where to get Magisk, but for now you can get that link from the factory image instructions that are above the Full OTA Zip method.

I have a camera sounds setting on my rooted P8P. I believe that's normal.

While I don't have the McDonald's app hidden via Magisk's DenyList, I do believe it does depend on passing basic and device integrity, which can't be achieved with an unlocked bootloader while unrooted.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] vegetaleb:
Thanks!

I don't mind not using McDonald's app for the time being, but do you think bank apps will follow anytime now or there are no rumors they will enforce anti-root methods?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

Bank apps will mostly be in the same position as the McDonald's app - won't work while unrooted with the bootloader unlocked. How they behave differs from app to app. I know some of mine wouldn't work, but it's possible there's some that would. There are also some users who couldn't get particular bank apps working no matter what while rooted.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's nice. I hadn't even charged my phone at any time during the times mentioned, and I'm very sure I hadn't left this notification on there since then.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
I've been getting these annoying friggin messages since the December QPR update....impossible to get rid of as now when the P8P is on the Pixel Stand Optimization seems to override ACCA even though its turned OFF in settings.....at least thats my experience since December.

As a follow up I have ACCA set for 90% but te Pixel stand overrides and its only at 80% when I wake up in the morning. Very annoying!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm currently still successfully using CrazyBoyFeng's latest v2022.6.13-pre ACC Settings along with the very latest v2023.10.16 by @VR25 at the GitHub link in their Advanced Charging Controller (ACC) thread. I see it says in the OP that AccA and ACC Settings aren't supported anymore, but so far on my P8P, ACC Settings still works.

Edit: I should add I'm "only" using ACC Settings to only allow charging up to 75%. The rate it charges, et cetera, I leave out of my hands.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
Makes sense since you are staying below the Google 80% threshold....I just deal with it since Google is always goofed in one way or another. I am still waiting for crap they promised back in November. And dont even get me started about the garbage watch IMHO....

I have noticed that mine rarely even uses the adaptive charging. Maybe 2 or the times a week. It used to come in every night. And it will occasionally only do the 80 percent charge. Normally it's at 100 whether adaptive is on that night or not. I know that isn't exactly what y'all are talking about. I just haven't put my two cents in in awhile. 😁

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CodexAG:
Hello,

This article states some Pixels do not allow relocking the bootloader:

[LIST] Devices where bootloader can be relocked

Suite au sujet : In this topic, please share references of the /e/ devices where bootloader can be relocked. Bootloader can be locked: vendor model codename comment last checked Fairphone FP 3/3+ “FP3” https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3/install 2023 April 7 Fairphone FP 4 “FP4”...

community.e.foundation

Is this true for recent Pixels like the Pixel 8 and soon 8a?

Also is not being able to relock bootloader a major security vulnerability?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have never personally witnessed a factory carrier-unlocked Pixel not be able to have its bootloader re-locked.

Most people either want to keep it locked or unlocked, though, so I think it's rarer that there are those who want to re-lock. It happens, but I don't recall any user permanently not be able to re-lock their Pixel bootloader.

I can't confirm or deny the accuracy of that article, but I went from the Pixel 1 to the Pixel 6, so I can't comment specifically about the 2 through 5, et cetera. I didn't have any trouble re-locking the bootloader of my Pixel 6 Pro when I traded it in for the Pixel 7 Pro (which I kept as a spare when I got my Pixel 8 Pro).

Maybe there are some rare outliers, but I can't cite any specific examples.

Everything having to do with unlocking bootloaders or rooting is a security vulnerability. I've never lost my phone or misplaced it further than somewhere else in my home, so unless you misplace yours, or yours gets robbed, it's no issue as long as you're reasonably careful of apps you install and websites you visit. If yours gets robbed, and they get the PIN # from you by force, then there's not anything they can really do with an unlocked bootloader device that they couldn't already do with a locked bootloader device.

You're welcome!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Hey warrior, didn't you have a beta forum also for husky? I can't find it. I think I'm not looking in the right spot it something.

Reason being the new release today put a really cool thumbnail, picture in picture in the camera when you are zooming in. I just wanted to see what people thought about it. It's a really nice addition. Or maybe it was always there and I'm just blind. With my history it could be the case. 😂

There's actually quite a few camera changes but I've only messed with the one. When you go pay 10x it pops up a box to frame your door on the top right corner. That picture was taken from over 20 feet away. About 22 to be exact. My hand was a little shaky or it would have been better

Edit: ok NM. I looked again. I found it. I knew it was there. Lol 😂
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm only speaking from the Pixel 7 Pro so things might've changed....

and it's been a while since I used the tool, but....

in the Android Flash Tool and Google Pixel Update and Software Repair Tool -- which are official tools by Google/Android -- they give the option to relock the bootloader, so I can't imagine they'd include it in the official tools if it wasn't officially possible to lock/re-lock the bootloader....

Just my 2 cent observation...

Factory image flashing used to go to fastbootd with older Android platform tools, I believe as of version 34.x it doesn't anymore.

OTA flashing never did.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Are you using Command Prompt or PowerShell? Use Command Prompt. You can alternatively, as spelled out in the OPs, just copy the whole Full OTA Zip to the phone, run Magisk on it, and it'll extract the init_boot.img and patch it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I think it may also depend on the build you are flashing as to whether it uses (used) fastbootd. For example, when I used 34.0.5 while flashing A14 QPR1 Beta 2.1 on Oct. 22 it did use fastbootd (you noticed the same thing at the time and I also made another comment at the time here), whereas with the previous beta builds using 34.0.5 it did not use fastbootd.

However, when I used 34.0.5 on A14 QPR2 Beta 1 on Nov. 15 it once again did not use fastbootd. Same experience on both my Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro using Windows.

All subsequent QPR Beta builds (QPR2 Beta 1+), whether using 34.05 or 35.0.0 or 35.0.1 did not use fastbootd, in my experience.

So it seems there was a brief time that 34.0.5 did use fastbootd, depending on what build you were flashing.

If memory serves, I believe Google only put out one version of 34.0.5 (whereas with some previous version(s) they updated the Platform Tools but kept the same version number so it got very confusing as @roirraW "edor" ehT commented about at the time).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] badabing2003:
Thanks for the prices details, I was aware that it had also to do with the image, just didn't dig for the exact details considering the user was already at a version that could be flashed without fastbootd.

Now that begs the question, if one attempts to flash that image with the older Platform Tools 33.0.3 what happens?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Good question... 🤷
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
Thanks for the answers guys. I thought something was wrong when I flashed. I did it twice and watched the console the second time lol

I am not sure if it is hidden as I always hide it, but I cannot find the icon for it now. So if it is hidden I do not know how to unhide. I think I had the version from kdrag0n installed? But now trying to install any stable version just gets removed when I try to open it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not familiar with a version of Magisk from kdrag0n, but Pixel Flasher might be able to more easily help you find it if it's still installed, and remove the hidden one.

Quick question - I received my P8P yesterday and it had an OTA update out of the box.

I want to ensure I have the latest security update whilst rooted of course.
