bluetooth closes immediately

I've seen a lot of posts about bluetooth issues, but I can't find anything about this: when I start BT on my pixel XL running 8.1 (the April security patch), it immediately closes. I'm fairly sure that it was okay in January, and maybe February; I think the trouble started with the March update. I have an unlocked and rooted (Magisk) phone, so I've been flashing my own updates. I thought about trying to flash an older version, but I'd rather not lose the security patches. where is the BT code? I know about the radio and modem images; is it one of those? any caveats?

Hi!
I'm having the same issue here, but i tend to think that Magisk is guilty, on non-rooted March update everything worked ok.
I'm still looking for something Magisk-Bluetooth related, maybe there is a fix somewhere.
Goodluck!

Are you updating with an OTA or with the full system image? I am on the April update (full image with flash-all with -w removed) and rooted with Magisk. I use BT every day and have no issues at all. If you haven't done a full image, I would start there without the -w. If still an issue, I would suggest doing a complete image including the -w and doing a complete reset.

yeah, I do the full image without -w, and it's the April image that I'm having trouble with. I guess a wipe might work, although I was hoping to avoid it. would you happen to know where the bluetooth code is?

Hmmm. I think I tried it on the April update before re-rooting; I might give that a shot when the May update comes out.

It seems that for me one of the Magisk modules was the problem, not sure which, but one of these two: Greenify or Crossbreeder lite, after i uninstalled these two my bluetooth started to work again.

ctsProfile: false after March firmware

Pixel 3 XL ctsProfile: false after adb flash-all (no wipe) with Google March firmware and patching boot.img with Magisk 20.3 on Beta channel. Never had an issue passing SafetyNet with this procedure until March firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228/page286
Tried using this module but no luck.
Tried flashing back to February without wiping but I get an infinite animated google boot animation. Flashed back to March and rooted again but ctsProfile is still false. Anyone have an idea why I can't flash back to February and get it to boot? Should I flash the stock March boot.img before going back to February?

The SafetyNet issue had nothing to do with March update and occurred Thursday night into Friday morning on devices of all varieties and versions. There are plenty of other conversations going on including on the thread you linked. Looks like Google is finding unlocked BL again, and Play Store fails certification on reinstall even dirty from what I have seen. You can't flash back to Feb dirty. Going back to previous updates requires a full device reset as far as I know.

I just went in to magisk manager and saw that I also failed cts. I am on the lastest patch, patched with magisk; on beta. It was fine when I was on February

I too am failing, but so far Google Pay is still working. Are we failing, or is the test in Magisk failing?

We are failing, the other half of this is an update to the play store. As soon as we get that update Google Pay will fail.

I personally had to factory reset my Pixel 3 XL and root it again. I'm passing SafetyNet but the Play store is not certified.

I paid with GPay at two vendors this morning with filed CTS and "not certified" Play Store. Of course that did not include adding a card, but can't be certified since a couple of dirty flashes this week.,

Getting the same error in Magisk since the March update, too. I didn't know there was other discussions going on about it. Got a link to share for the thread you're following?
I've tried dirty and clean flashing the March update and get the same error. I'm not brave enough to re-lock my bootloader to see if the error goes away, but I've pretty much trouble-shooted it down to that.

Thank you for this.. Thought I screwed something up while updating to the newest patch (from feb patch). I am not sure I can rule out the "kernel update" that was bundled into this new factory image for the pixel series. I see that according to these links, it seems to be wide spread across other devices and just is a coincidence that this occurred as we updated to the new factory image.
anyone able to get CTSprofile true on March 2020 image with magisk?

Again, this did not happen as a result of anything March update related. Tons of devices that were not updated (including two of mine that haven't seen an update in almost a year and a half) started failing CTS as something that Google pushed automatically like Play services or whatever. Nothing to do with Magisk or able to be fixed with Magisk right now. Looks like they are searching for unlocked BL, and nothing is able to obscure it or know what exactly it is looking at yet (kernel, Magisk).

Wow, this is one of the most disheartening (non-super-serious) things I've read in a while. Luckily, it seems like my current set of apps isn't affected by the failed ctsProfile, although that's probably going to change in a hot minute.

Since this is not really device (Pixels) specific you might want to consolidate the discussion rather that having to flip between threads. This one is in the 4XL forum.

I was just posting this because I saw it a lot earlier than others and was trying to quash any more threads about CTS failing. I find the whole thing funny how Google tries to placate app vendors who don't really want fake security but want ad revenue (IMO of course).

Just flashed April firmware, patched boot.img with Magisk 20.4, and ctsProfile = true now. "She falls down a well, her eyes go cross. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back. I don't know."
Edit: If you long press power button, a GPAY "add a payment method" balloon appears. This is new.

This is odd. I flashed my 3 XL also with the April update, patched boot.img with Magisk 20.4 last night. Safety Net failed until I deleted the Safety Patch module. I rebooted and was able to have Google Pay working again (used it this morning to make sure). I'm thankful it's working again. Now I can't update MagiskHide Props Config in Magisk. And if I remember correctly, the quick access to GPay with the power button was a feature drop a while ago.

[UNOFFICIAL][MAGISK MODULE] Active Edge Mod for Edge Sense Plus - continuation for patch levels 2021-01-05 and later

EDIT: It's too annoying to maintain and edit 6 separate threads. The installer works across all devices, so please visit this post for the latest version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...or-patch-levels-2021-01-05-and-later.4226343/
Thanks!

NOTE: Download link in the OP will install mod for the current patch level down to January 2021. It will detect your current patch level and install the correct file. For earlier system builds from 2020 and prior, please use the official discontinued module on the Magisk Manager repo. I did not clone the entire Active Edge Mod repository; my unofficial repository only hosts January 2021 and later builds.
Changes:
I know, I know... I said I was done with releasing my Unofficial Active Edge Mod installer, yet here's another month's update. I might keep doing it for those that update immediately and want it a bit sooner, so long as it's fortunate enough to happen on a day when I'm able to do it relatively quickly. Since I'm building these anyway and sending them over to the dev, for now, to upload to the official Magisk repo, for now I don't mind also updating it here a bit sooner. Anyway, more on this below and some of the headache involved moving forward...
04-05-2021: Soooo... the script I wrote to churn these out as quickly as possible as Google releases the updates, relied on system image dumps on GitRip... unfortunately the domain was seized by the FBI (lol) and so it looks like the old dumper is no longer updating his Android dumps repo on GitRip. Fortunately, mikalovtch pointed me over to a new source that hosts such system dumps, and I was able to get these done relatively quickly afterwards. OP is updated with the 04-05-2021 installer now!
03-02-2021: Meant to post an update a week or two ago. Noticed the magisk module on the official Magisk repo now says [RE-CONTINUED], so there really isn't much need for me to continue updating this anymore! As a final gift, I ran my batch builder script and built the modded apk's for all variants for the 2021-03-05 patch level, and download link for the module installer is in the OP.
02-02-2021: February 2021 mod is now uploaded. Updated installer is in the link in the OP.
02-01-2021: Modified and uploaded modded SystemUIGoogle.apk files for 3 / 3 XL / 3a / 3a XL to GitHub repository. Updated Magisk installer slightly to accommodate this, and removed a few unnecessary lines. Won't make any difference if you already installed the first release.

Works! Thanks for keeping this alive!

Thanks for the feedback! Like I said, I don't own these devices so it's good to know that it's working properly.
Btw, fyi the current installer will install the correct mod for either patch level (Jan or Feb). I'll update one of the posts to reflect this. Like the old official installer, it will detect your current patch level and install the correct needed file. The major differences between this and the official mod installer (in terms of the installation process) is that I pulled out support for some of the devices (older Pixels and HTC), and it won't install for anything before 01-2021. I mean, I guess I could clone the official mod's files repo, which would also allow installs for older patch levels, but I didn't see the point seeing as how the official installer will still work fine for them as well as those other devices (afaik - don't think they've had system updates in a while).

Just tried your updated script for the March update but it keeps failing. I noticed on the Pixel 3 forum that there was a glitch that you addressed but I just tried again and it still fails. I've attached a screenshot.

Hmm, somehow the MD5 filename had the .apk stripped off before getting pushed to github, so the installer couldn't find the MD5 to compare with. Updated the github repo with the proper name; should flash now! No need to redownload, just try flashing again.

Yay! I have my squeeze for flashlight back! And just like you said "No need to redownload, just try flashing again." Thanks so much!

Unfortunately the last official security update for Pixel 2 XL was from December 2020. Also my unofficial mod only started supporting firmwares beginning in January 2021.
Either you're on an older (May 2020, not 2021) firmware than the latest, in which case just use the official module in the Magisk repo. Or if you're indeed on May 2021 security patch, I can only assume you're on a custom ROM which unfortunately isn't supported.

Posting this here because I can't find a thread for the recontinued module. There hasn't been an update to that module for the June '21 firmware. Does that mean there were no changes to SystemUI and we can use the previous module?

Looks like Mikhail hasn't updated the official repository yet. I'll shoot him a reminder. I sent the files a few days ago. He must be busy lately.
Meanwhile, here's another unofficial update (even though the official version will have identical modded files). Gonna only edit the Pixel 4 XL thread from now on. It's too much of a PITA to edit every single post for each variant. The installer is the same for all devices anyway. Here's a link to the thread, and download link will be there too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...or-patch-levels-2021-01-05-and-later.4226343/

Thanks for updating!

August active edge update soft bricked my Pixel 3.
I can dirty flash OTA to get back but obviously root is gone and if I try to install magisk again the same thing happens. How can I remove the bad update without formatting the phone? The previous method only worked on android 10.
I do not recommend anyone flash the recent august update.

Yep, the same thing happened to me. I had to manually flash the stock boot image to both slots and reboot. Then use the long-press in power menu Restart option to reboot to safe mode, but as soon as it starts to reboot, hold the volume down button so that it goes to the bootloader. Then you can flash the Magisk patched image, and reboot, and when it reboots this time it will be rooted but still be in safe mode, so the bad Active Edge module will be disabled. It was a pain, but at least I got back to a working state without a factory reset.
Edit...I had to flash stock boot to both slots because I had corrupted the previously inactive one in my attempts to recover from this situation. If you haven't messed with the inactive slot, you shouldn't need to flash stock to it.

Soft bricked here too. Did exactly what @CSX321 did to get back to normal.

Question Navigation buttons stop working

I'm on the January update. I'm using 3 button navigation. In the last day, the buttons have stopped working multiple times. When I reboot my phone then the buttons work again.
I am rooted and using Magisk add ons by @Typhus with ROM control.
Anyone else seeing this?

My wife uses 3-button navigation (I use gestures). She's unrooted and using Nova Launcher. She said she hasn't had that issue.

That's what they said in December! How long will we wait until they get things working?
Even though I had no confidence that it would be resolved in the January release I tried unsuccessfully to side load the Jan OTA. The system update failed to update and for some reason I could never get adb sideload to work so I used the Android Flash Tool to install January, which of course wiped my phone. After all these years I have procedures in place that allow me to recover when that happens, which require me to root. (I miss my reliable OnePlus 7 pro.)

I've been under the impression from others who used the Official Google Android Flash Tool that there is an option to prevent wiping you can select. I haven't used the site myself, I do it using the script in the full factory image using the latest Platform Tools each month, editing the script first to eliminate the "-w " so the phone isn't wiped.
I never use OTAs while rooted, just flash the full factory image instead.

I never use OTAs while rooted, just flash the full factory image instead.

I'll try that way next time I can't update.

My 6 will do that. They just stop responding. Myself I don't need to reboot though. Either I can wait for a few seconds and they'll start working again, or at most lock then unlock the phone.

I had the same issue all the time on December update. A reboot would fix it but I have not seen it all on January update..

I had that problem with December's build, but so far it hasn't happened with January's.

Using 3 button myself on Jan update. Also use Nova and have had no issues. It was a clean install though.

I have a OP8 with a custom a11 ROM on it that 3 button navigation has worked flawlessly on. I upgraded it to 12 over the weekend and have had the buttons lock up a couple of times since. So it would appear to be a a12 thing, and not just a a12 on Pixel issue.
