This was the only tutorial I could find that worked perfectly, not a single hitch. Thank you!

Thank you, everything went perfectly with your video as a guide.

I can't believe how simple this is... I own a Pixel 7a myself and I only just flash ROMs without even knowing you could Root the phone. Now that I know this and that you CAN flash Root EVEN in the Factory Images, I'm more inclined to flash root to what ROM I use in the future. Be it GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, LineageOS, or the Default Factory Image.

You might need fastboot drivers setup for your device as well

5:16 why ini_boot.img but not boot.img? what's the difference between them? i saw from a tutorial from a different channel using boot.img ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/inulfqCrgtVskK8 ), what if i choose boot.img?

[@The231447LucidDevTeam]

It has something to do with these changes they made in Android 13: "In Android 12, the generic boot image, referred to as Generic Kernel Image (GKI), contains the generic ramdisk and the GKI kernel. For devices launching with Android 13, the generic ramdisk is removed from the boot image and placed in a separate init_boot image. This change leaves the boot image with only the GKI kernel." If you choose the boot.img instead, the device wouldn't be able to boot as far as I can tell. source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/partitions/generic-boot

How can I enable 5G on non supported country?

[@JeremiahWard-tt4kj]

Is there any tablets you know how to root in 2024 ? That's cheap

[@umairm.5662]

patched boot.img booted my device but it didn't root it. when i use patched init_boot.img my device failed to boot. any guesses?

[@The231447LucidDevTeam]

Are you flashing to both the A and B slots? If not, your device won't boot.
