You can enter EDL mode no matter what. I know three ways to enter EDL:

Pressing some combination of volume keys + power and connecting USB (but this method is stupidly hard)

Fastboot command (i'm assuming you've tried this one)

Deep flash cables (search it, it's a regular cable with green and black wires shorted)

The most reliable is the modified cable, but this isn't is the end of your problems.

If you try to flash in EDL mode you'll get an error like: ... sig/nop tag invalid... or something. To do so you need an authorized Xiaomi account (and you won't have nor find one).

I don't have the link of this article anymore, but basically Xiaomi locked EDL flash because third party vendors were installing compromised ROMs for their customers (around 2015?), so only the previously mentioned authorized accounts can do this, but it affects our ability to do that too.

Of course people would try to bypass this and they managed to. You eventually will find hacked firehose files, these are bypasses to this authorization thing.

But unfortunately, starting with Redmi Note 10 onwards, the phone check bootloader files on soc, what means that if you use an hacked firehose file, the phone won't boot.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Koamanl:
Thanks for your answer, sad to hear. I'm now trying to go back to miui 12.5. Do you think it's possible to flash the ota firmware through mi flash pro or the unofficial Xiaomi tool v2? If not I am open to ideas. I just want to unlock my bootloader again.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] felpofo:
I just forgot that there's the test point for entering EDL, but apparently it doesn't matter.

(edited because I miss clicked on post)

Not sure, I only know about MiFlash, can't help you with others, but you'll need to flash the fastboot ROM, just make sure that your anti level is ok to do that. Just make sure you've downloaded the correct ROM here and you should be good to go.

It you can't find a way to fix it then contact @mvikrant97 as he will be able to.

I've seen one report that Magisk works but Zygisk doesn't.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] electronika:
I can confirm KernelSU works, Zygisk-Next doesn't work but also doesn't cause a bootloop. Pixel 8 Pro
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
"An issue with sideloading the Developer Preview 1 OTA build can sometimes cause the device to show a "Device is corrupted" message after sideloading is completed (the device will not be able to boot into the system). To work around this issue, Google recommend that developers flash a factory image to test devices whenever possible instead of sideloading an OTA system image."--via Google News TG Channel

Other Issues:

• While adding a face model for Face Unlock, the preview screen appears to be trimmed or cropped.

• When an app window is transitioning to picture-in-picture (PiP) mode, the PiP window disappears if the device is rotated before the PiP transition finishes.

• When a locked SIM card is inserted into an unlocked device, the user is not prompted to enter the PIN to unlock the SIM card. To work around this issue, lock and unlock the device manually.

Apps

• The Google Play Store sometimes crashes with a null pointer exception when trying to update apps.

• The Google TV app sometimes fails to initiate video playback and instead displays a "Play Movies & TV is temporarily unavailable" message.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
Damn, too late. Device is corrupted.

EDIT: flashing factory image without the -w restored the phone.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Added all of these to the OP. Thank you for reporting, and I'm sorry to hear about the issues, especially for those still stuck with them.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
A few people have also bricked in Rahman's telegram.

Why would anyone use an OTA file when it's not clear what the delta is against and their device is locked?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Major Tokage:
NFC with Wallet work?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
Yes. Assuming you have a valid fingerprint and pass device integrity.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
By the way, there is a warning to unlock your bootloader first on the Full OTA download page...

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Factory Image can only be flashed with the bootloader unlocked (unlike OTA, which doesn't need the bootloader to be unlocked), so I would say the answer is yes, @gpvecchi did/does.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MikaHakkinen:
That's what I thought, thank you! So, we're pretty much screwed? Call Google to the rescue?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's possible that DP2 (maybe in a month?), or if we can hope that there'll be a DP1.1, that those will help, but yes, probably nothing you can do in the meantime without an unlocked bootloader for anyone in the same tough spot.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MikaHakkinen:
Thank you, about to call Google, let's see what they say.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I would think they reissue the OTA if it's outright broken.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Let us know, if you don't mind sharing.

I would expect so, too.

I think I need to flash back to A14 stable and set up all my root stuff then flash to beta. A lot of things aren't working. Let me know if anyone else has issues with these.

Has anyone gotten viper 4 android working on the beta? I clean flashed back to 14, got all my root stuff set up, then dirty flashes to the beta. This time the only things that don't work are viper and lsposed zygisk.

Also, anyone get Microsoft work apps to work? After clean flashing 14 intune I haven't been able to get it to work. On the beta, since lsposed doesn't work, I can't use hide my apps and such to help. Tia
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Which v4a are you using? I've had issues with some not working at all. The only one I had luck with was the v4a repackaged. So sorry if it isn't any help but if you want it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
I've been using V4A reengineered. I'll give this one a try! I also used James DSP because V4A reengineered didn't 100% work. Does everything work with this one?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Interesting....I thought that version didn't work with 64-bit only devices???
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
Unfortunately this one doesn't work for me either. I get the same, no driver installed, and when I click it tries to but nothing happens.

Also, the beta isn't supported for lsposed, and the git page says it won't be updated anymore. Is there a working fork? Or an alternative?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Anyone else having an issue with the system updates saying they are unavailable?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Which Beta are you on, or do you mean Stable update? I accidentally removed too much from this thread title when I was removing the most recent Beta update details from it, so I just now put back "Android 15 Beta". Sorry about the confusion.

The Stable firmware hasn't come out for the Pixel phones yet - only for the Pixel Watch 1/2 (although that's only security update). I'll announce here when it does come out:

I believe it's beta 1.2 or 2. I know it's the second one with fixed issues like NFC.

I didn't even think there is an update, I just went to check yesterday since it's after the 5th and it said updates are not available in red text.

Edit: NM. I just checked this morning and it's back to normal. System is currently up to date. No red text 😁
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, I see. Cool. :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
Found some lsposed forks, one that supports A15. It says beta 1 on the main page, but then DP1 on the downloads page. It's the latter because the dates match with the DP1 release timeline. Anyway, I haven't tried it yet to see if it works with beta 1 FYI. Anyway, hopefully it works and hopefully it helps with work apps.

I'm loving A15 beta!

Bluetooth is finally fixed (with 14, phone calls over Bluetooth sometimes didn't have audio)and the battery life is almost on par with my s23 Ultra.

I hope google doesn't mess this up
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
The battery is where I noticed the most improvement. It's crazy good now. 2 days easily without changing my habits. I could probably get 3 if I didn't play any games.

I rarely use my Bluetooth for calls. (Don't get many calls period. 😂) But that's great to know
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
For what it's worth, I never had any Bluetooth issues on Android 14 Stable, with either my Pixel Buds A-series, my old Samsung small neck-band type headphones, or with my car.

@Chickenkillla81 I don't get many calls, either, and that's exactly how I like it! :) The Call Screen feature probably takes care of more calls than ones I actually take part in.

Our favorite Android launcher just received a long-awaited stable update

Nova Launcher fans can finally update to version 8 in the stable channel

www.androidpolice.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Not that anyone has asked my opinion, but the Stable (8.0.16) release didn't act Stable to me, plus I'm still unhappy about the data-collection company buying Nova almost two years ago. I was led to believe back when they came out with the first v8 Beta releases that it would be easy and obvious how to keep them from collecting my information, but I'm not confident that I was able to disable anything relating to that. Also, with everything disabled that had to do with connecting Nova to other apps, its app drawer search bar was still showing results from my GMail, and I never had the GMail connection enabled to begin with.

I reverted to the last Stable v7.0.58, which I am keeping backups of in multiple places, and restored my backed up data for it.

I'm not sure if I'd ever consider re-upgrading beyond v7. It's time for an open source launcher that becomes just as powerful as Nova.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
I wasn't aware of them selling it. That doesn't sound good at all actually. I may have to change back to 7 also. Hmmm. Thank you 👍
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Don't forget to change the Nova entry in the Play Store to not auto-update.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
And the Nova App now gives an annoying update message as well....PITA! :)

Ok, off subject. Man, Gemini does not want to tell me anything about Verizon bootloader unlocking. Lol. I tried all the subterfuge I could muster. I'm not that surprised, but I thought it would at least give me some bogus instructions. Heck no. Just told me how surprising it is that they gave me permission and referred me to contact Verizon. Other methods just ended in polite non sense. Oh well, AI can't do it either. The bums. 😂

You can ignore anything that has to do with rooting. You can also officially opt into the Beta program at one of the links in my post above this, I think the "Get Android 15" one, and wait for the Beta 2 OTA to reach you. Then you'll want to opt out only when Stable Android 15 comes out in a few or several months, otherwise you'll receive a downgrade OTA to Stable Android 14, which will force an unavoidable factory reset since the Android 15 data won't be compatible with Android 14 apps.

Besides the instructions in my Stable thread that @Lughnasadh mentioned, one or more of the links in my post above should tell you how, or link to the instructions to flash it.

These days, I always recommend the Full OTA Zip, rather than the Factory Image, that I used to flash for many years. There are reasons, just trust us. :)

Edit: If you can't or don't unlock the bootloader, I don't recall if it lets you downgrade ever, so before you commit, you might want to find that out, just in case you don't like the Beta. Without an unlocked bootloader, there are also many fewer things you can potentially do to fix your phone if something bad goes wrong, as they have from time to time at least during the Developer Preview, but can happen with Betas, too.

Note that having the bootloader unlocked just by itself, without rooting and using root-based workarounds, will cause some banking and other apps that check for security to fail to work.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Also, in the Release Notes they say we should expect a A15 Beta 2 point release in the coming days (assuming 2.1).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
The modem configs seem to be a bit older than the previous build. Maybe the point release will fix that.

Hey guys. Anyone having sizing issues on their home screen? My clock and weather widget are TINY now. But when I try to resize they are showing they are the normal size. Also my phone is way warmer than usual. Granted I just updated and tried another extra reboot to see if it would fix widget issue, but I've multi booted before and didn't remember phone getting warm. I'll keep an eye on it 👁️

Edit: I tried removing and adding them back and it's even worse if that's possible. For some reason the battery widget is unaffected. But my other two are crazy small. Hopefully 2.1 fixes it. It's really messing with my head! I dont like change.. 😂 at least when I don't initiate the change.

Also, device has cooled back to a normal temp. Must have just been working harder than I thought.

Just let me wait for official A15 don't want to bother flashing and doing stuff just wanted to know coz with Samsung it's much easier just flash with odin a whole rom at once so wanted to know if it's easy with pixel 8 pro
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I see. To fully clarify, the way to manually flash/update Pixels is the same whether doing so with a Beta or Stable release, but of course you'll get the monthly OTAs including a total of seven years of Android major version updates, without manually taking any action.

I'm familiar with Samsung and Odin. I wouldn't classify using Odin as easier than flashing on the Pixel.

Also, there is always @badabing2003's PixelFlasher threads - a GUI for flashing needs - it's just good to become familiar with the Platform-Tools (ADB/Fastboot) manual methods as sometimes more complex, unplanned for things, happen. PixelFlasher uses the same commands under the hood:
