Linked below is a pre-release of the next FlashFire version. This version will not be available on Play.(use on other devices completely untested, the rest of this post assumes usage on Pixel)(backup, restore and full firmware flashes are not yet fully supported)This release is far from finished, but seeing as the January update for the Pixels (NMF26U/V) is starting to roll out, we might as well test this functionality now.There are two relevant types of OTAs:OTAs that are horribly misnamed and you can download from Google's website ( https://developers.google.com/android/ota OTAs that are downloaded by the device automagically- Copy the download ZIP to the device- Use "" in FlashFire to select the ZIP- Make sure "" option in "" action is enabled- In the "" action, set the reboot delay to 5 minutes.- If all is well, FlashFire should have hijacked the OTA system completely. In other words, once the download of the OTA completes, FlashFire should be started automatically and will offer to flash the OTA for you.- In the "" action, set the reboot delay to 5 minutes.Because the Pixel does not have a dedicated recovery partition, TWRP is located inside the boot partition. If you flashed TWRP to your device (rather than just booted it) and used that to flash the SuperSU ZIP, this means the backup of the boot partition that SuperSU generated is actually of TWRP, and not of the stock boot image. The "" option will thus restore the wrong boot image. Currently the only solution to this is turning off this option and manually flashing back your current firmware's stock boot image as an action before flashing the OTA ZIP.I am investigating possible workarounds for the final release.Additionally, the very first time I tested this whole procedure, for me the OTA would fail to flash the modem partition. Apparently the modem partition flashed to my device at the factory was not the one the (incremental) OTA expected, which is very weird in itself. I had to (fastboot) flash the full firmware before my device was in a state that I could flash the OTA. I expect more people to run into similar issues.This first flash may be a bit cumbersome, but once it's all up and running, future OTAs should be effortless.The flash itself shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. Please watch the screen for one of these messages:If successful: OTA RESULTIf failed: OTA RESULTPlease let me know if the above is correct. I have some doubts if thevalue occurs onfailures.Note: EverRoot installs SuperSU v2.79 SR2
