About PixelFlasher
PixelFlasher is a graphical desktop utility for flashing (updating) Pixel phones. It is a user interface built on top of adb and fastboot commands, so users do not need to run those commands manually or arrange files in a single directory. The application has a basic mode for most users and an advanced (expert) mode. The repository states that the executable from its releases page is a self-contained file that does not require Python to be installed.
The tool covers boot image handling, including patching boot, init_boot, and vendor_boot images with several root tools, and flashing a selected image with a choice to keep or wipe data. The repository says that many features may work on non-Pixel devices, but this is unverified ("YMMV"). The project is open source and hosted on GitHub.
