This is an early August security update release based on the August 2024 security patch backports. This month's release of the Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS should be available later today or tomorrow and we'll quickly release an update based on it following this one.
Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.
Tags:
- 2024080500-redfin (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5)
- 2024080500 (Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, emulator, generic, other targets)
Changes since the 2024080200 release:
- full 2024-08-01 security patch level
- suppress crash notifications for 2 harmless crashes occuring on service shutdown for the Android Bluetooth service and Pixel wifi_ext service
- enable memory tagging for the Pixel wifi_ext service again
- Settings: disable predictive back gesture in PIN/password input activities to fix an upstream Android vulnerability
- flash-all: remove unnecessary sleep after flashing AVB key
- flash-all: exit on errors
flash-all.sh
: avoid false negative for device model check- flash-all.bat: pause before exiting after an error
- fastboot: add support for CLI install with the GrapheneOS optimized factory images format already used by the web installer (will reduce memory/storage usage for CLI installs and will reduce storage usage on the update servers by avoiding multiple factory image formats)
- hardened_malloc: update libdivide to 5.1
- kernel (6.6): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 6.6.43
When does the Pixel 6 reach end of life? How is that determined? By Google, or by the Grapheme devs?

Determined by Google, GrapheneOS will probably provide extended support like they did for the Pixel 4.
Pixel 6 becomes End Of Life on October 2026. Google determines it, you may read more about this here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en
