Chainfire released a new update for the SuperSU that does fix mounting the system. I am updating the link in the OP and will put a link here.

Magisk still doesnt work with DP3 for Pixel (as far as i know)

*extra delay SuperSU is out of date and doesnt work on DP2 or DP3. I highly recommend using the new method in the steps shown in the OP AND the Readme in the newest SuperSU for Sailfish (and Marlin) which is linked below and in the OP*

Link to new SuperSU: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72686197&postcount=10481

Also being added to the OP - Off Topic is welcome as long as its still Pixel/Root/TWRP/Development/Questions but back and forth bickering will be and should be reported.

I still haven't had luck on even rooting on odp3?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
That sucks, what part of the process is hanging up on you? Are you getting any errors?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] macboss:
for the rooting process for dp3. I got lost after a few steps.

Just flash Dev Preview like normal (got it)

boot into system and setup android (got it)

Reboot to bootloader (ok)

Exact the downloaded supersu (where do I extract it, why does in need extracting if its usually installed via trwp in one zip?)

Reboot to bootloader (ok) (why do we need to reboot here?)

open a cmd in the extracted supersu location and type (ok so could someone detail this a little more, how do we open a terminal on the phone

If you could clarify these things Ill be able to finally run Android O DP3. Thank you
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Sounds to me like you never used fastboot. Learn that first.

You dont run terminal on your phone but on your PC.

reboot phone to bootloader (thats the only place where you can use fastboot commands)

open a cmd command window in windows and go to the folder where you have fastboot and supersu

plug phone in

run command to root.

If you are having trouble you should look at some guides how to use fastboot in general.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
What they said above lol

You exact the zip because it is not a flash-able zip. inside the zip is the image file that you boot into
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] macboss:
ok so i am very familiar with fastboot and adb, I think i was misunderstood with the terminal on the phone comment.

let me clarify. --- im confued about the superu part. supersu is a zip file usually flashed after booting into twro.., why do we need to unzip this file? where do we put the fie after unzipping? is the boot-to-root reliant on the contents of the file in order to work? where do we place the boot-to-root file..

im just trying to clarifying the last three steps. i know how to flash using adb and fastboot well. i just need more detailed instuctions. thanks

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

so when you say "exact" the zip do you mean "extract"?? if you mean extract, where we put place the contents? also where do we place boot-to-root? i need just clarification on the last three steps. because if i just try to flashboot using boot-to-root.img nothing happens.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
You are not flashing SuperSU inside recovery. In that case you can use a zip file. You are doing boot to root so you need an .IMG file.

There is no terminal on the phone. Phone is in bootloader mode and you run the command on the PC.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
Yeah i mean extract. You can extract it anywhere it doesnt matter. Once you extract the SuperSU zip contents (which will be a .img file named "boot-to-root.img") reboot the Pixel into bootloader and plug it into the PC. then open a CMD on your PC and in the cmd navigate to where the "boot-to-root.img" file is. Then type "fastboot boot boot-to-root.img" and let it do its thing. Dont touch it or unplug it for at least 7 minutes
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
If you extract or even open the supersu zip we are using, youll see there are only two things in the zip. Boot-to-root.img and README.txt. So no, its not dependent on anything else in that zip. This zip is not a TWRP Flashable zip. (in fact TWRP doesnt even work with DP3) it is simply a zip chainfire is using to distribute the boot-to-root img file.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] macboss:
ao whats weird about this issue is are a lot of people are not having any luck rooting DP3 with the instructions. But I am determined and I will do exactly what you ask and we will see what happens. Just FTW I am using a Pixel XL bootloader unlocked. I just did a fresh ./flash-all.sh of the official firmware. So let's begin

1) i went in settings> about > hit build 7 times

2) enabled usb debugging, made sure oem unlocking is on

3) plugged into machine, downloaded the file you referenced: root-marlin-pixelxl-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix

4) unzipped, read the readme, it asked to do what you said, moved the file into my current platform tools folder with adb and fastboot inside

5) powered down phone, held power+vol down to boot into bootloader mode

6) opened terminal, and cd [my platform tools directory]

7) typed ./fastboot devices --confirmed device was connected

8) typed ./fastboot boot boot-to-root.img --finished successfully, then restarted

8) booted to google screen for a bit > then the black corruption screen > then back to google screen (about 3 - 4 minutes)

9) after it booted I went to the home screen to check for SuperSU, saw it and opened it up. pressed the the button...

10) low and behold: IT WORKED!!!!! I HAD ROOT!!!!! BOOYAAAAA

Im not sure what I did different. I think I may have used the terminal command to reboot into fastboot mode instead of doing it manually with the vol down+power. But who knows.

I really appreciate your help in this and hopefully this gave way to helping another tortured soul who was in the same spot as i was.

Until the next one,

Cheers

Has anyone had any luck getting Titanium Backup to work on DP4? I rooted using the method in OP, but when I try to restore an app, it just says "restoring" indefinitely and never finishes. :(
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Nil253259:
TiBu can't install apps on DP yet, as Android O needs apps to have special permission to install unknown apps and TiBu hasn't been updated to ask for the permission. So currently the solution is to install all your apps from play store and restore only data from TiBu which perfectly works
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eleazar123:
Sweet! I can live with that, since it's just for a few apps.

Has anyone tried the old method for rooting the previews (not the boot to root) but using the Pixel version of Magisk instead of SuperSU?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mngdew:
Magisk doesn't work on DP4.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bleez99:
There is a single install mode in TiBu that'll be a just extracts and installs the apps as if you were installing individual apks along with the data. Interactive mode if I recall correctly. Worked great for me when I was playing with the DP releases.

When dialog fails, it's time for violence.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
You can try rebooting to bootloader -w to ease everything then flash the dp4 without letting it reboot into system then boot the boot-to-root. Idk if it will work.

Why do you not want encryption if you don't mind me asking?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick80835:
Well technically... Use SuperSU boot to root and boot up into the OS, install FlashFire from the Play Store and use FlashFire to flash the Magisk installer for Pixel. That theoretically would work. :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

There is no way to avoid encrypting this device right now and no, SuperSU won't prevent the device from encrypting, I tried it myself and there's simply no way right now. :(
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eleazar123:
Thanks! I'll check that out :)

I wonder if this would work to get Arise4Android working. Has anyone had any luck getting viper or arise working? That's the only thing I'm really missing on DP4 :\
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick80835:
Be aware that FlashFire only works with SuperSU (I love that app! [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] you're a great man, where's your T-shirt?)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eleazar123:
Gotcha, thanks. I am currently rooted with SuperSU, so I was thinking maybe I could flash Arise somehow, but the only zip I've gotten working in the past uses Aroma which I'm sure won't work with flashfire (or at least I assume)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick80835:
It works, try it and please report back!

Edit: FF is supposed to support AROMA as it has options to configure the graphics rendering for it, don't change the options though.

I've flashed ODP4 and followed the instructions to root to the 't' on my Pixel, but I can't remount. I've followed the OP, and the readme, and this:

But I still get:

C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\root-sailfish-pixel-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix>adb root

C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\root-sailfish-pixel-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix>adb remount
Not running as root. Try "adb root" first.

I notice that the "then back to google screen (about 3 - 4 minutes)" part never seems to happen for me. It always boots up in about 10 seconds after the corruption screen.

Please advise! I really need access to the system partition.

Did you unzip SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170615211546-PixelFix and put it on your pixel before you ran boot-to-root?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] dmdts:
No, this is the part I don't follow. I unzip that package, and see a whole bunch of architecture specific folders in SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170615211546-PixelFix, but how do I move that onto the pixel? The instructions in the OP are a bit unclear. It says:

- etc etc

- reboot to bootloader

- exact (extract?) supersu (extract SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170615211546-PixelFix? Or extract root-sailfish-pixel-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix?)

- reboot to bootloader (why again?)

- open cmd

- fastboot boot boot-to-root.img (the only thing apparently transmitted to the device is root-sailfish-pixel-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix here)

Am I supposed to do something with SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170615211546-PixelFix? Or is flashing root-sailfish-pixel-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix boot-to-root.img enough (which I have done)?

I do see SuperSU installed, but can't "adb root" and "adb remount"
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] badhabit_wb:
I extracted it and put it in the root folder on the phone and did everything else exactly like the post. I'm using a pixel and rooted it with no problem. Once on 7 and now on 8.

I appreciate you trying to help, but "put it in the root folder on the phone" doesn't make sense to me. Could you expand? Please give me what commands you used. Thanks in advance.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] sundaysfantasy:
Hey, I installed Nougat B360 on my P9 lite and the only issue I found so far is that if I have a PIN lock active, if I reboot the phone the PIN doesn't work to unlock it, and there is no other way to access the phone.

I read a few topics and finally found that the pin requirements for first boot is because of the device encryption Android uses. I read that I can go for file based encryption and the problem is solved, but I cannot find that option in developer options.

I don't want to disable PIN lock because I wanna use the fongerprint, and rolling back to MM is not worth it.

So anyways, is there another workaround for this, or a fix for the problem itself?

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Tmobilesucksass:
So I have not really been on here since last spring when the g5 was rooted, and once more in the early winter, to do Prime's upgrade to the h83020a.

When I did that upgrade, the 20a, I was just trying to bring the device back to a semi stock state, with locked bootloader, and no root.

It took away root, but the bootloader is still unlocked.

If I just wanted to relock the bootloader, what would I have to do if I am on 20a, no root? In the past I would just dive into the dev section, but I do not have a urge to become an 'expert' on the device, if I am giving it back to Tmob this week.

Can anyone point me to the thread, that would help me with the process of relocking the bootloader, without pooching the phone?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
If you're running stock, unrooted Ron and haven't made any system changes, all you need to do is use ADB to boot to Fastboot mode:

ADB reboot bootloader

Once in Fastboot mode type:

Fastboot OEM lock

Then you will have a locked bootloader again. Just make sure you're running 100% stock first, because if not and you relock the bootloader it could brick it.
