Requirements
- Unlocked Pixel 6, stock or with magisk root
- From Android S, vbmeta verification must be disabled. ONLY if you use Magisk Manager canary latest (to patch boot image with Magisk) you can skip vbmeta verification disabling! If using the boot image provided in the zip without Magisk, you MUST disable verification! Download the stock full firmware for you phone, extract Vbmeta.img and do:
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
--- In Android S, you might need to do a factory reset when disabling Verity after the system booted before with vbmeta enabled! If it doesn't boot with corruption problem, you need to do a factory reset with 'fastboot -w'
--- When updating with next OTA on Android S, I recommend to 'adb sideload ota.zip' and then BEFORE booting, go to Bootloader and with latest Vbmeta.img, make sure to switch off verity again with fastboot flashing vbmeta again, and boot only after that. That way factory reset won't be necessary it seems by experience so far.
- BACKUP: make sure you have a stock image downloaded (boot, dtbo, vendor dlkm img) from Google (https://developers.google.com/android/images) before installing this!
Installation Guide
Firstly install CleanSlate configuration and CleanSlate companion BETA program apps on your phone (both found down below in Download section). Set them up initially.
- When installing Premium version from Play Store, you should join the Beta program for both apps, and install the beta version! Otherwise features won't work.
- Non-rooted method: 0. download the installation zip, Unzip it to your PC.
Code:
1. reboot to bootloader:
$ adb reboot-bootloader
2. Flash boot image and stock dtbo img:
$ fastboot flash boot cleanslate-raven-boot-xxxxxx.yyy--ZZZ.img
$ fastboot flash dtbo stock-dtbo-boot-xxxxxx.yyy.img
3. if everything went fine, reboot to FastbootD and flash vendor_dlkm modules image:
$ fastboot reboot fastboot
$ fastboot flash vendor_dlkm cleanslate-raven-vendor_dlkm-xxxxxx.yyy--ZZZ.img
4. reboot (fastboot reboot), enjoy
- Rooted method: do the same as above, but before flashing boot, root it on the phone from Magisk Manager
Known bugs
- None, please tell
- please disable magisk modules before reporting issues, and please provide logs if possible
- if it cannot boot at all after flash because of signature verification, read vbmeta requirements (Android S)

No, the safetynet check fails CTS profile unfortunately. No longer possible to pass with custom kernel only. Possibly kdragons module could help, but it needs root indeed

Hmm, sorry for the inconveniences, this is an issue with the app. Please for now set a smaller font in system display settings, so that the message fits and then you'll get the dismiss button visible.
Will fix it a bit later, thanks for reporting

- Update Android SP1A A12 - 1.2.2 -​ Android S stable - December
- December sec update - google sources
- adblock hosts file updated
CleanSlate S 1.2.2 Downloads:
Android S images zip (sp1a 2021-12-05)
Pixel6/pro (not flashable, contains images) CS 1.2.2: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17825722713688250034
vbmeta inside the zip of SP1A.016 to deactivate verity checks on the custom boot image and most probably to do factory reset, DO IT BEFORE FLASHING THE KERNEL, or it won't boot
You can try to deactivate the vbmeta check before the first booting up right after sideloading the OTA , maybe that will let you boot without factory reset after vbmeta verify disabling.
Deactivate, you might need to factory reset if you don't follow the OTA-update/disable-before-first-boot procedure (fastboot -w for factory reset)
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta stock-vbmeta-211205.016.img
How to re-activate if you need later?
fastboot flash vbmeta stock-vbmeta-211205.016.img
Read first post in thread for installation details.

Are you rooted or not? If not does it pass Safetynet checks?

Indeed, currently I think the only way to pass on an unlocked p6 is to use kdragons module. I've updated the first post to reflect that clearer

sorry long time no touching stupid question. Unlocked requirement here means unlocked bootloader yes? How to check if my phone is unlocked or not?

Well, if you bought it second hand, easy way, if you restart your phone, on unlocked bootloader, it will give you a long yellow text for a few seconds, telling you that it's unlocked and unsecure.
