Install Paranoid Android Topaz On Pixel 6 / Pro /pixel 6a

Open a terminal in C:\platform tools and type the following:

.\fastboot -w

.\fastboot update "paste the path here"

This update (beta 2) has OTA (over-the-air) update functionality and is very stable

To root it, unzip the paranoid android rom zip file and send the boot.img to the phone and install the canary magisk from here


Tap install  and select and patch a file then browse to the boot.img file

The output will be in the Downloads folder in the internal storage

Send it back to the PC and open a terminal in the platform tools folder again

Copy the patched boot image files path ; 

.\fastboot boot "paste the copied path here"

Once the phone boots open magisk and tap install then direct install
