Did you include dirty flashing PN again? I'm still on TWRP RC1.

1) Dirty flash (or clean flash if you want) PN

2) Flash TWRP

3) Boot to System

4) Reboot to TWRP

5) Flash ElementalX kernel

6) Flash Experimental Magisk

7) Flash TWRP

8) Boot to System

9) Install Magisk Manager

10) Enable Magisk Hide and block whatever apps you want from seeing Magisk

11) Profit

It should work. I did it twice just to make sure. SU is enabled. TiBackup works....My only problem atm is applying Adaway without it causing SafetyNet to fail.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] rohitece06:
I think there is a trick in magisk app itself where it allows systemless host for adblocking. After you enabled that, adblock should install. I am using it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Do i have to install Magisk manager, i thought it was installed when you flash the zip ?.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
You do if your using it on pn. Those are directions for pn I believe. On rr you can skip that step.

Edit I have tried it on pn, I havnt got it to work. I'm doing something wrong. I think the main reason is the magisk manager isn't made for the pixel. The one on rr is.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] acidspider:
Really struggling here, I cannot find magisk hide options or get safety net pass
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] billiepreks:
It's because you are using v5 of Magisk Manager app with old v11.2 Magisk root.

v5 Manager is for Magisk v13beta. Magisk v12 must be used with Magisk Manager v4.2 (Core only mode for passing SafetyNet)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] acidspider:
Can you please assist me in locating the correct versions,
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] acidspider:
Ok.ive found the updated magisk manager but get install failed when trying to update to 12.0
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jorgen2009:
Manager v5 does work with Magisk V12:
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] billiepreks:
There isn't Core only mode on Manager v5

Edit: didn't see you screen. Are you using a module for that ?

Edit2:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1xZ4VKT4JKZUFhVUlk0enhBVFk/view
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jorgen2009:
No, I didn't install any modules at all. In a nutshell this is what I did:

Make sure there is no root installed (SuperSu, Magisk, etc). When necessary uninstall them the proper way as mentioned in their threads

Install Magisk 12.0 from the original source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1xZ4VKT4JKZUFhVUlk0enhBVFk/view?usp=sharing

Install the Manager v5 directly from the developer that also created the Pixel version of Magisk (@goodwin_c) : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298966445

Profit

As a sidenote, I only tried this to see if it works, and as you can see it does for me. This configuration I have is a totally not supported. First Magisk isn't officially supported for the Pixels and second the Manager v5 is not compatible with older versions than v13 from Magisk according to the Magisk v13 thread. That it works for me is a complete miracle, I suggest you use the official Manager v4.3.3 for Magisk v12 for a more stable installation
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] billiepreks:
(error delete this message please)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] billiepreks:
Hmmm tried as you explained, but as you can see in attached picture, SafetyNet doesn't pass.

This is why I recommend Manager 4.3.3 because on this one it's possible to activate the Core Mode Only to pass SafetyNet.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] acidspider:
Getting there, now what?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] billiepreks:
Are you already rooted before flashing Magisk ?

Any errors when you flashed Magisk v12 in TWRP?

Did you use TWRP RC2 or RC1?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] acidspider:
I wasnt, now when trying to flash su zip I get bootloop

Rc1 gave errors flashing magisk for pixel zip so switched to rc2 and flashed ok
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] billiepreks:
Yes you need to be on RC2, RC1 doesn't works.

Don't flash SuperSU or any other SU, Magisk has its own integrated su (MagiskSU).

The procedure is to start with clean installation of your rom, then flash a kernel (then flash TWRP RC2 before reboot to system), reboot and flash Magisk v12. Are you did that ?

Edit: what is the configuration of your Pixel ?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Tulsadiver:
Anyone know of a magisk template specificly

Flash the Magisk uninstaller from recovery, reboot to recovery, then flash Magisk from scratch.

If it works, you'll have to redownload/install all Magisk modules, and you'll also lose su settings (which apps get root access & which apps don't).

can't install

Hi, I had an unrooted google pixel with android pie and the latest update (oct 2018). I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP recovery, then installed the latest Magisk 17.2 zip with TWRP, which resulted in a bootloop. I then booted back into recovery and installed the 17.2 magisk uninstall, which restored my phone and I was able to boot again.

I've gotten rid of any security settings (PIN, etc) and tried again and still no luck. I also tried same thing with magisk 17.1 but same bootloop issue.

I don't know what else to do, any ideas?

Thanks
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] h0mer_:
I had similar happen under same circumstances a couple of weeks ago.

Out of frustration I installed the 16.7 version from TWRP Recovery and that booted into Pie without a hitch. Once the bootup had finished, and I was able to see that the phone was indeed rooted, then updating to Magisk 17.2 via the app worked and no bootloops :)

Also had an update arrive to Magisk v17.3 this morning, so maybe give that a crack first before going to the 16.7 version.

Cheers :)

Rooting Verizon Google Pixel

I have a used Verizon Google Pixel. I have found some articles online about root it, but they are more than a year old, and comes with the disclaimer that the method may not work after a few weeks because Verizon may have "fixed" it after a few weeks and you may end up with a bricked phone.

Can someone please point to me a working guide for rooting it? Also, would the phone still get updates after rooting?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
I just install the zip, as on RR i install the zip and the app was installed . I didn't know the method was different for PN. Where can i find the ark ?.[/QUOTE]

Yes I'm not sure for pn. Cause the magisk manager is already built in to rr. I believe that magisk zip is just for the root. We need to know what manager he's using for pn
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] uodii:
Are you still passing SafetyNet afterwards? I've tried default settings in Adaway, custom target, and storing it in /data/ as well. Each time causes safetynet to fail for me.

So i was having problems with Supersu Binary on PureNexus Rom when i use the directions and file in the second post on page one .

I used the directions as in the first post (OP) and also install the Magisk apk manually. Now all seems to be holding and working fine .
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
Thats what happens when you flash Super SU it sends safety net check into a tizzy LOL. Apparently, I have been told, if you try to use android pay with the way you have it, it will error out.

See my post above yours .
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
I hope it sticks but I see it reverting back.

edit: If you uninstalled the SU binaries then it should stick and work but you only have system-less root. I need and like to have Super SU to write to the system partition.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
So on pn are u using super su with the magisk zip? And if you are, how did u unroot, I have never had any luck un rooting?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Yep you are right on that but i'm not doing anything too major with this rooted Pixel at the moment as there's so much that's not working 100% yet example TWRP . I can never get a backup to restored and TWRP is not working like it did with the Nexus devices . I bought this device late just about 2 weeks ago, i should've done some research first .

I thought at lease we would had have some thing like MultiRom going for it already. I normally i have at lease 2 phone some time 3 and i love to mess around as deep as possible with my Androids . I would root them the same day i get them .

The Pixel is a bit bog down right now.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

If you use the Supersu zip in the first post and follow the instructions you would be able to unroot .
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
So it's not working, is that su zip in the op different from the regular 2.79sr3. And did you follow the steps in the first post of this thread for pn. Cause if its the same 2.79sr3 as the one in chainfires thread , the unroot method hardly ever works. I think I'm done messing with it
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
It seems it's systemless, that's why you can uninstall it .
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
Must be different, I'll try it out cause Everytime I tried using the unroot on the regular 2.79sr3. It would put me in a boot loop. One time I thought I was bricked
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
Ok I finally got it on pn. That sr3 is different its got magisk manager built in. I'm a moron. Thanks for all your help

I hear ya on the TWRP,,,trust me dont mess with the new RC2 it is a huge mess and it is like flipping a coin if you will lose all your data.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
How I got this on pn, elemental and flashing the right zip in the op was the key for me, the 2 zips in the first post of this thread

Install pn

Install TWRP

Reboot system

Reboot recovery, install elemental

Reboot to system

Reboot recovery install magisk sr3 zip one on op

Reboot system

Set up super su

Reboot recovery, flash rc112

Reboot system

Super su full unroot, check yes to both

Should reboot system

Open and set up magisk manager,

Go to settings and check hide magisk and systemlesd

Seems to work better on pn

This follows the first post of this thread works good for pn

Hey bro this is basically the same method as the one i posted, any chance you can remove it as its pointless.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
Magisk root only provides system-less root which is to say barely root,,,enough to pass a root check just about. If you want to have the system partition rw then you have to use super su,,,really a trade off to using Magisk which to me is not worth it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:

I followed these instruction verbatim using the latest PureNexus 3/17 and Elemental Kernel 1.08 and get up to this point:

I flash Super SU SR3 on slot a

Reboot and Setup Super SU

Reboot to recovery and flash RC112

The next reboot fails and boots directly into recovery

I tried to restore a system image before I flashed RC112 and reboot, but again it goes directly into recovery

If I try to switch slots, it appears to have worked but includes E:Error getting bootctrl module. And on the bootloader I can still see I am on slot A.

I dirty-flashed pure nexus and twrp and cleared the cache and had a successful boot back into the rom.

Is cache clearing a step I need to get this working by the instructions?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] danaff37:
No, but I didn't flash super su. Here's what I did to dirty flash and upgrade to PN 3-17 (and install magisk for the first time)

Uninstalled super su (just the app)
Flashed PN
Flashed TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash vendor image (if not up to date)
Flash magisk zip
Reboot system
Install magisk app
Reboot recovery
Flash elemental
Reboot system

I tried flashing elemental right after magisk, but it wouldn't take. YMMV, of course, but worked for me, root apps work including adaway after enabling systemless hosts file, and Android pay let me add a card (though haven't used in store yet though)
