Ricedroid 8 for pixel 6/Pro

on
Ricedroid 8 is an unofficial custom rom based on android 13 for the pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro maintained by XDA developer alvin14 


Prerequisites ;

Unlocked bootloader and latest firmware 

I'm using windows 11 with PowerShell. Use the same instructions with respect to your os and terminal preference.

Downloads





You'll need the latest platform tools and google USB driver 

If you're having trouble accessing fastboot read this

Extract adb (platform tools) to somewhere like "C:\platform tools"

Type in the following in terminal ;

.\adb devices

Allow access to adb at the prompt on the phone screen

.\adb reboot bootloader

.\fastboot -w

This will wipe all user data from the device proceed with caution

.\fastboot update "path to ricedroid.zip" 

Tip: copy the path of the zip file in the context menu before booting into fastboot


If you want magisk just extract the rom zip file and send the boot.img file  to your phone then open the magisk app

Tap install > select and patch a file > select the boot.img from the file browser

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

Send it back to the PC and copy the path of the magisk patched boot.img

Open terminal and type ;

.\adb reboot bootloader

.\fastboot boot "path to the magisk boot.img"

When the phone reboots, open the magisk app and tap install > direct install 

There's a lot of additional features in this rom and as an added bonus, safety net passes out of the box
