RECAP:

- I think that removing the wipe (-w) from the batch file might have something to do with the break-up during the recursive process. However I am not sure if this would be true, because the batch run was on it's 12-th cycle in a total of of thirteen cycles (see 12/13 below).

- I executed C:\platform-tools>flash-all.bat (from an administrative) CMD Window.

All looked fine; the batch file did it's recursive thing. Then after a few minutes, on run 12/13 I see this:

...

Sending sparse 'product_a' 12/13 (262140 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file)

fastboot: error: Command failed

Press any key to exit…

Side note:

The phone got stuck in fastbootd screen, but at that time, it was still responsive!

- At that time, and if I would ave acted differently, I might have managed not getting my Pixel 8 Pro bricked. However, I did reboot the phone... (After consulting XDA forum, hence the start of the very first post: please-help-me) .

- I pressed and held simultaneously the Power button and Volume UP button, to try get into the Dead android with the red triangle screen.

- Unfortunately the phone did not get into the Dead android with the red triangle screen, and the rest is history.

Because the batch file was running for quite a while when the process came to a sudden stop, perhaps it was trying to access the phone that went into some form of standby mode? Is that even possible during such a low level operation? Perhaps someone knows if this could be valid (or not). I think it is worth mentioning it.

- My suggestion is, that during the batch run of flash-all.bat, the phone experienced some sort of timeout, that somehow caused a glitch which stopped the flash-all.bat before it had completely finished it's run.

- Could that timeout be caused by point 3. below (I ALWAYS needed to manually click the radiobutton at the top, before I could access the Pixel 8 Pro device on the PC)?

- If a timeout is not ruled out as a cause for the flash-all.bat run breaking up, perhaps point 3. below is related!

Please note:

1. Beforehand I attempted this now failed rooting attempt, all was still working fine.

- I had the bootloader unlocked.

- The official USB Google (Windows) drivers were OK (as far as I know).

ATTENTION !

2. Whenever I pugged in the USB cable on the phone, a dropdown list appeared on the phone.

3. I ALWAYS needed to manually click the radiobutton at the top of the screen of the phone, before I could access the Pixel 8 Pro device on the PC (via the Window Explorer).

@HipKat and @Radulfr , maybe you can comment if this could be (big) red flag (or not)?

And If so, it should be made better known to all of us, so in the future we can avoid unnecessarily bricking any other phone, if this 'silly' thing would be related.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
@ko3st

Re: Clicking the dropdown, did you have your Default USB Settings set to File Transfer in Developers Options?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
@HipKat In Developer options, even now, I still don't know under which section, one can find that setting you are referring to:

File Transfer

Because I am very sure I did NOT find this setting, I am also sure that the setting was NOT switched on (hence I needed to set it manually after connecting the USB cable to my P8P). I realize, this might have been the cause for the hiccup in the batch run, and later bricking my P8P, and that 's why I will try to describe it as precise as I can.

- After connecting the USB cable to the P8P phone, in my case I needed to tap the "Charging this device via USB".

- In the the USB Preferences window on the phone, at the section called "Use USB for" was set

by default

to:

No data transfer

- That explains why I always needed to manually click the top radio button called:

File transfer / Android Auto

- Please note that the very top section called "USB controlled by" by default was set to:

This device

Another thing:

Because I thought it could never hurt, in Developer options, I switched to ON the first available setting:

Stay awake

Screen will never sleep while charging

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
@HipKat When I connect my Pixel via the cable with the USB port on my PC, it defaults to No data transfer.

- I would like force it via some setting in Developer Options, so it switches to File transfer when being plugged in to USB.

- My work phone is a Pixel 5 with locked bootloader.

In Developer options, I am looking at my Pixel 5 (with Android 14), but I simply don't know which setting(s?) I am supposed to switch to ON/OFF position. I do not want to annoy you or anything, but can you please tell me which one(s?) I should switch to the ON position?

On Pixel 5, Developer options under the section Default USB configuration I only see these settings:

@HipKat I have a brand new Pixel 8 Pro now.

I am afraid I might do something wrong again.

I do need root for a few things (record all phone calls, is one of them).

I followed the steps in the description for the root #2

- I already have an unlocked bootloader.

- I have the right USB (new) drivers installed.

- Platform-tools_r35.0.0-windows installed and I tested for Adb devices and fastboot devices, which both work as they should.

I have the patched init_boot.img so I guess I am almost ready to take the plunge... But I would like to run it by you just to see if I dod not miss anything because basically I am now attempting the same approach as before, and that resulted in a nice brick...

Can you help me walk through the last steps...?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xdrc45:
What method did you use to get where you are at currently? root#2? I always use Pixel Flaher tool from @badabing2003 In my opinion, it's the easiest and safest method to root and flash firmware/OTA. I believe everyone should learn adb and fastboot commands but Pixel Flaher automates the process with a lot less room for errors.

Couple of questions. Since it's a replacement device are you on the current firmware? If not, you might as well upgrade now before you root, then root the new firmware/OTA. Again Pixel Flaher tool would come in handy here to accomplish both in one process. Have you booted into Android after unlocking bootloader to make everything is running fine and to make sure in developer options that adb debugging and OEM unlocking is still turned on? I like to be sure that adb debugging is enabled just in case something goes wrong.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
First of, thank you for being so kind as to spend so much time on my case. I really appreciate it, thanks.

I will paste a big prepared "questions -post' shortly and perhaps you can look at that. It will answer a couple of your questions and I have three questions A B C prepared myself...

I have decided to follow your advice and not proceed as planned. However I need some guidance to find the correct steps concerning the use of PixelFlasher (there must be a detailed description some were, I guess).

You were "wrong", in assuming I got a replacement device. It is not. I bought a completely new shiba device (from Amazon.de this time). Again a 512GB version.

I am currently not rooted, but already unlocked on

@HipKat please see above.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
My man, use the newest Pixelflasher, Connect your phone to your computer, use adb devices to make sure you have adb access and then use Pixelflasher to browse to your platform-tools folder.

Doing it the manual way takes too many steps and you have to make too many decisions on and have to be very accurate in how you proceed. Pixelfflasher does all this for you.

Make sure you have advance options turned on in the Menu Bar (File Device Toolbar etc)

Then hit scan so it makes sure it's connected.

Then on top click on Install Magisk. I recommend the Stable Version

Then the next drop-down, browse to your OTA image and click on Process.

Then in the Box, click on the Boot Image and click on Patch.

Below that, I want you to click on Disable Verity, Disable Verification (It will wipe Data) and click on Flash to Inactive Slot (Should be pre-selected).

Click on Flash Pixel Phone, it will pop up with your selections so yo can verify everything, warn you that your device will be wiped and then hit OK and walk away, don't even watch, you'll have a heart attack.

Come back in 5 minutes and it will be done

Hey everyone. It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here but thought I would post.

I did a lot of searching before posting and couldn’t find anything

I bought LEHX L5 Pro 2GB 32GB from AliExpress turns out it doesn’t have AM radio only after receiving and installing it as I reached out to the seller. They started I need to buy the L6 Pro which obviously costs more. As this is AliExpress costs an arm and leg to ship back and NO guarantee at all that I would get my shipping costs refunded even enough dispute gets opened and it’s promised by AliExpress but not seller

I tried going through PayPal as I bought it from them but they will only protect for the cost if I don’t get refunded

So I might do a partial refund to get some money back and keep it

Sorry for rambling but is there a way to get AM radio to work via an AM Antenna adapter/booster? Temp been using apps on my phone and CarPlay to listen but can get annoying if I want to change stations

Anyone come across this?

I have posted a pic of the specs based on About Device screen

Any help is appreciated
[FYT Android Head Units] Warlord721:
No. If there is no AM tuner you can't receive an AM signal. They only option you have is to stream the stations from from your phone or if you have a SIM capability in the device and stream from an app such as TuneIn Radio.

[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
If the radio chip doesn't support AM then there's not much you could do.

It might just be that the radio app installed is FM only.

Try a radio app that definitely includes AM like NavRadio Basic and double check if AM works or not.
[FYT Android Head Units] soliditalstud:
Hey thanks for the link. This app is way better but yeah, it just scans for AM but can end up getting FM stations while it’s onAM. ATTACHED PHOTO FOR REFERENCE

Guess there is no AM alternative?

but do it recommend replacing it for the stock radio app? Is there a way to back it up? Back up the stock firmware?
[FYT Android Head Units] soliditalstud:
The seller has been a pain to deal with.

I wanted to ship this one back so opened dispute with AliExpress and got them to agree to send it back and that seller supposed to pay for shipping costs as well but based off of what I read there is NO guarantee they will pay for sopping costs. It’s like $100 CAD. I spoke to PayPal as well but there solution only covers item not shipping back but offered $50 GW CREDIT. Next option odds going through CC company I guess

Conveniently when trying to contact seller to get to agree to pay shipping they are away for Chinese New Year

Three is a script to backup and then delete the old radio app.

An easier solution is in the same post there's an app called RadioProxy.apk that overrides the stock radio app for Navradio without uninstalling it.

Just uninstall RadioProxy.apk to return the stock radio app to working order.

I like Navradio so much I purchased the Pro version for extra options and station logos.
