Original kernel only. - Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Since I am on a distant island, I cannot download the whole rom to restore the original boot.img/kernel to the finally do the official pixel update.
I attached a screenshot with the exact version. Looking back it wasn't the best idea to replace kernel while driving away from civilization.
Thanks in advance

Please? Upload the small boot.img for me?

Hi, Can you share the path/location for boot.img? I can try to extract it. I am using non rooted Pixel 4 at&t version if that makes any difference.

Sure, you download QD1A.190821.014 for pixel 4 (flame) ... It's about 2.5gb
You download from here https://developers.google.com/android/images
You extract the zip. Inside are a few other zips. You unpack boot.img from the biggest zip. You upload the boot.img i.e. on Google drive for me to download.
I would be amazed if you did this. I would resorte original kernel and then can do the update.
Cheers mate

Thank you so much, mate. Trying to flash now. If you don't hear from me soon, something went wrong

The kernel worked. Unfortunately I still cannot update my system. No idea why.

The signature reflects the specific models I purchased and the amount of ram/rom they had. As such it appears accurate to me.
it's 16 GB and 32 GB, if it was MB you wouldn't even install anything
How do you install this?
Sweet! So just flash in recovery?

The short answer, and it's not intended to be ugly, is that if you have to ask it's not a file you should be installing.
It's easier to get it from the system updater....this is primarily intended for folks doing rom work or want to extract the patches to see what might be applied to the other models. It could be sideloaded via twrp for the specific firmware/model listed if they needed to for a particular reason.

It died on verifying system because I don't have that Google bloat installed. Oh well.
Quick question. I've flashed .bin files via odin, what do I do here?
It's simply a renamed zip. Change .bin to .zip and you can open it.
@purple.epod and others....I'm uploading an unrooted system image with boot (we need the kernel to match the system) to mega and will post the url when it completes tomorrow sometime. That file can be used to flash via twrp to the latest version and skip all the interim steps. Keep an eye out for it.
Sorry for so many questions -_- Lol. But flash this? Or the one you're talking about uploading?

The average user should use the file being uploaded in the system image thread. This url was for folks doing work on rom's.
