just do

fastboot flash boot boot.img

with the original boot image.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
I've tried that too! :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
I got the OTA and updated without issue. I got TWRP installed, flashed Flash kernel 2.58, and then flashed Magisk 16.0 but can't get safety net to pass.

Do I need to install Flash beta 259.4 and Magisk beta 2674 to get safety net to pass?

Thanks,

Rick
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Nathan just released 3.0 moments ago for Pie :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
Thanks, I just flashed it, however, I'm still failing SafetyNet. Maybe I need to clear Google Play services and reboot, or it's because I'm still on Magisk 16.0
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
16.0 is working on Pie???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
It did for me with the exception of SafetyNet. The steps I took a little while ago:

1) Install OTA directly on phone

2) Installed TWRP image 3.2.2.0

3) Pushed TWRP 3.2.2.0 zip, Flash Kernel 2.58, Magisk 16.0

4) SafetyNet didn't work

5) Nathan released 3.0 in that time

6) Installed 3.0 and cleared Google Play services

7) Still getting SafetyNet error so maybe need to install the Magisk Beta 1674
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chazall1:
I just updated from ppp5 to Pie with adb sideload the OTA

All function great here.

Idk about SN, I just can't get root to work atm. But thanks for the info :good::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
Good luck obtaining root. I guess all our devices are slightly different.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dmarden:
Same... depending on approach, I just get either bootloops or errors flashing the Magisk zip if I try some alternative methods. No dice, in any case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Well I finally got it! Ran the magisk uninstaller in twrp, then flashed Flash kernel 3.0 and let it boot up. Installed MM 5.8.3 then went back to twrp and flashed magisk zip 1674, booted up and VICTORY! Just gotta redo my modules but that's cool. SN also passes BTW :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
Congrats, I'm going to install 1674 and see if that does the trick.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I've now screwed mine up and it's bootlooping on the Google Splash screen. This happened after I tried to just go flash Magisk 1674. Does anyone know how I can uninstall Magisk from TWRP? I can get to TWRP and also bootloader, but the device will not boot up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dmarden:
Good call... completely forgot about the Uninstaller. Your steps worked perfectly for me (I skipped the kernel part, I just use stock).

What's Magisk showing for your encryption and verity options? Verity is enabled, preserve force encryption disabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
Could you list simple steps to use the uninstaller? I had everything but SafetyNet working. To attempt to get it working, I booted into TWRP and just installed zip 1674 over 16.0. Well, that must have removed the boot image, because now my phone is stuck in a bootloop on the Google splash screen and then it bootloops.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Just flash the uninstaller in twrp then let it boot up. And read my post 2 above yours:good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
Doh, didn't realize it was a file. Thanks for responding. I'm back to being able to boot up. And I need to kick my own [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] for doing this instead of packing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Forced encryption can't be disabled if you are encrypted so the checkbox doesn't matter.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] C5Longhorn:
I got it after I followed your steps and SN is active also. Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an21281:
Any idea how to remove encryption? Or decrypt, don't mind starting over/wiping. I never setup any pw's, fingerprint or screen lock etc but my P2XL always shows encrypted. Sorry for the OT!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OneNutShort:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Thanks!

I wasn't following your process prior to you discovering using the installer..

I'm presuming the steps are:

fastboot 9.0 factory image (-w of course)

fastboot into TWRP 3.2.2-0.IMG

Install TWRP.ZIP

then pick up your process below:

Ran the magisk uninstaller in twrp,

then flashed Flash kernel 3.0

let it boot up.

Installed MM 5.8.3 (APK I suppose)

then went back to twrp and flashed magisk zip 1674,

Sound about right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Yep, you got it Hoss! :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Thanks man!

I appreciate you putting yourself out there as a sacrificial badg..... I mean guinea pig :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
No worries my brother....it's what you hired me to do! ????
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
This process worked the first time!

fastboot 9.0 factory image (removed -w of course)

fastboot into TWRP 3.2.2-0.IMG

Install TWRP.ZIP on sdcard

Ran the magisk uninstaller in twrp,

then flashed Flash kernel 3.0

let it boot up.

Installed MM 5.8.3 APK

then went back to twrp and

flashed magisk zip 1674,

reboot!

Thanks to [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] for figuring out the right steps
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] madmuthertrucker:
I've been messing with this for hours. I really want to thank you guys for spelling it out, Badger50 & Az Biker. I think I had some bad links too. Y'all are alright.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bd177:
Can you use 1674 with the stock kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dmarden:
Yes, I am. No issues under the proper procedure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matekaneve:
What's the difference between twrp 3.2.2 and 3.2.3? Does the latest one work on pie?

edit: My steps:

1.) Updated to PIE, using the factory image

2.) Fastboot into TWRP 3.2.2 (Kept system read only)

3.) Flashed TWRP 3.2.2 "zip"

4.) Flashed Magisk v16.7-1674

5.) Reboot to system and works fine since than!

On 8.1 I used Magisk 16.4 and was stable, no issues. I didn't try any version on PIE other than v16.7-1674, but it seems fine. Root permissions granted to all my apps and the YoutubeVanced module (Only module I use) had to be reinstalled but works as it should.

Does anyone notice opening apps is slower after root? Especially messages and Gmail for me. Everything was snappy before. Then I rooted the stock kernel and apps started taking longer to open. Takes about a full second if white screen and then the app opens. I also tried on ElementalX and flash kernel. Same result. So I decided to clean flash the factory image and wipe the phone and everything is snappy again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dmarden:
No such issue on my end. I'm rooted, but no custom kernel.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dmarden:
Good luck, hope you guys can figure it out and share your solution. I don't (and I assume many others do not) have that issue... but if a few people do, others are bound to as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sruel3216:
I tried flashing image with -w removed but apps still were slow. Only clean fixed for me...

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Yeah kinda sucks. I don't need root for much other than theme, kcal and vibration setting. I love a fast phone so I'll have to tough it out with no root for now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
ok, flashed 9.0 clean. booted and set up my device. flashed twrp no problem boots ok, install magisk manager apk, no problem. install 1674 build of magisk through twrp, and i get the god damn boot loop. HALP!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chazall1:
You need to do a hard reboot.

Just Hold down the power button until it reboots.

It should boot to your system.

This has happened to me on several occasions
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
unfortunatly i've done this a few times and a hard reboot doesn't help. magisk uninstaller doesn't help. I even went as far this time around to use twrp to make a system backup prior to flashing anything, i've restored the backup and it's still broken. The only thing that gets me back to a bootable system is flash-all.bat with the "-w" in place.... I'm really struggling here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dmarden:
I know you said you clean flashed, but something sounds off. Just for kicks, you try flashing the Magisk Uninstaller in TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
I just did.

now on boot i get "your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted" and still gets stuck in a boot loop. it's done this before i ended up running flash-all.bat in the past.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Go to the 8x to 9x link in my sig, follow that process, see if it gets you through with no issues.

So far, it's been a pretty solid method.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
I just finished the process, including re-downloading everything and booting into system after every step. as soon as i apply magisk via twrp it dies on boot at the "g" screen with the loading bar and eventually reboots... I tried pressing and holding the power button to force a hard boot, with the same results.

Looks like i'll just wait for the next build of magisk and hope for better results.

I was previously rooted with magisk on 8.1 and no problems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You may have to flash the magisk uninstaller, reboot, go back to twrp and flash your kernel and magisk SEVERAL times before it finally boots up. Can't tell you why, but it's what I had to do ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
to clarify, you got stock booting, uninstalled magisk, re-installed magisk a few times and eventually it booted? seems strange that that would do anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
I hear ya man. Go figure. I had zero luck with the stock kernel, but after I used Flash kernel, it finally booted up. It's definitely a weird deal. Doesn't seem to matter if you came from a clean or dirty update to 9.0 either. Just one of those lovely P2XL nuances ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
the uninstall utility is at least working for me now. I tried no custom kernel, custom kernel then magisk, magisk then custom kernel, and tried each variation twice... no go... *sigh*
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
After you flash Magisk, flash either the Flash Kernel 3.01 for 9.0 or the Elemental X 2.04 then reboot and you will be golden :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Si73:
This was my experience if it helps anyone.

Whilst on 8.1 removed pin/security.

Removed Magisk via TWRP with Magisk unistaller.

Flashed Android 9 with - w removed & let phone boot up.

Boot into TWRP via Fastboot.

Installed Magisk Beta 16.7.

Let phone boot up (I had no hangs or bootloops).

Reset pin/fingerprint etc. Magisk seems to work as it should, hide apps works & passes safetynet. I have had no issues with pin unlock when rebooting. The only thing i haven't done is install TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anaxagorasbc:
the flask 3.01 kernel is the one i use. I tried it before and after flashing magisk, no joy either way...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
PM me and tell me your exact setup and current issues. I can try walking you through the process, if you would like.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Intelli69:
I've been using Magisk throughout the entire Android P beta process up until present Android Pie with minimal setbacks, malfunctioning and errors. Props to [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] for being so on point and in sync with all the updates, etc to keep Magisk rolling and compatible. You do have to watch out for which modules you add (obviously), as such during any major update. Personally, I've only had slight module difficulties mostly due to user error probably rather than the module itself. Lol. I'm learning myself, something new everyday. I would love to learn how to code/develop apps, etc, if anyone knows of any good websites or apps to try out for that please PM me. Also man if you have any more questions regarding Android Pie's compatibility with Magisk I could probably answer it, I literally have been using Magisk and Android P as a daily driver since beta 2 of Android P. I hope any of this helped somebody. Haha.

PM me if anyone has any questions or anybody could help me out regarding apps/websites that teach coding/app development, etc.

Random question for anybody: Has anybody tried to use ARISE sound system with Android P? I tried (lol) and failed one day when I was bored and had a lot of spare time to flash and format my phone between Oreo custom ROMs and Android Pie to try ARISE out. And I failed. ??
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dinkoh:
For SafetyNet: I'm getting "The response is invalid" for the past couple days.

Yea...nothing to worry about...he'll eventually get it sorted with "proper API" (or something...:confused::confused::confused:). As long as you can pass Play Store, Google Pay, Netflix, bank apps, etc., you shouldn't need Magisk's specific SafetyNet test to prove proper root...

Hmm. .. This is new. Never saw it before. I guess John Wu will figure it out.

I got it on both P and 8.1.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pj1000:
Yup. Came up with my Safety Net Check as well. Using the newest Pie. Installed using the same protocol that's worked time and time again. Checked out several sights claiming methods of fixing this. Tried them and none fixed the problem. G-Pay not working but there is root. Very Strange.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] simplepinoi177:
I used to not use G-Pay, then found that even though I wanted to use it; it would detect Magisk and wouldn't let me -- so I didn't bother with it (I didn't know about Magisk Hide option at the time as well as don't think Magisk Hide was able to hide from G-Pay at that time). But then, for another reason, I installed a custom kernel, and among helping and fixing my issue, it also allowed me to use G-Pay.

TL;DR try a custom kernel if you want G-Pay. That might be the working best method and not necessarily root hiding or SafetyNet check passing...

Hope this helps...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pj1000:
Thanks. I've been on Flash always and never had a problem till now. Thanks, though for the advice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
That happened to me 2 days in a row when testing ROMs, or updating.

Here is the reason I found at github.

One removes PIN/security, flashes update/ROM + TRWP patch for slots A/B, reboots, back to TWRP installing Magisk 16.x, bootloop - because encryption gets enabled by Magisk without security being set.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/404
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ad.Shk2:
Same issue here here with latest magisk - Invalid response
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] simplepinoi177:
That's probably the reason why [MENTION=4670411]Az Biker[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] suggest (and put it in this/their guide) to run magisk-uninstaller.zip (a number of times if needed) as to get Magisk completely out of the system and nothing left over to mess with encryption...

Just a thought though.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Thanks, yes. Had that notion thought too. Last time I tried using the uninstaller it did not work and gave errors in TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Has anyone managed to fix TWRP not accepting PIN doing the magisk uninstaller thing or is that not connected at all?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pvtjoker42:
If you're on Pie, then TWRP won't decrypt, needs to be updated to work.

Shouldn't have anything to do with being able to run the magisk uninstaller, you just have to put it in an unencrypted folder on your phone or an otg device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mac796:
I'm still using TWRP 3. 2. 2 and with a pattern and a fingerprint setup I don't have any problems decrypting on pie
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
How did you update to pie?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mac796:
I cleaned off all my themes on Oreo. I believe I ran the rescue zip in TWRP to do that. I ran the magisk uninstaller cuz I read people were having better luck doing that. I edited The Flash all bat, took out the w. Also added skip reboot, skip secondary, then I flashed factory image to both A & B slots. Then I booted in the system. Fastboot TWRP, installed TWRP zip, then I installed flash kernel, and magisk 1674 (Nathan's) at the end. Booted back into system. I added Viper later and I'm using pitch black and mono they're working good together on p.

Edit. I'm also using amazed navbars on pie

Guide, links and troubleshooting tips all in 9xx link in my sig.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Thanks, much; I already updated to pie. I was one of the (apparently) luck folks who was able to decrypt on twrp after updating. I used a similar method as mac796 in updating, except I didn't use magisk uninstaller, used deuces script to flash (without formatting) and fastbooted twrp 3.2.3-0 image and then flashed twrp 3.2.3-0 installer zip.

Unfortunately, my flashaholic tendencies got the better of me and I "downgraded" to oreo to flash some of the current custom roms. That was a big mistake!. I could no longer decrypt in twrp so I used an OTG to attempt to flash the custom roms; got a number of FC's on boot up and finally gave up. So I formatted the device and started over with Pie.

One question for you. Let's say you reboot to recovery and forget to disable your pattern lock and when you get to twrp you can't decypt; can you simply reboot the system, disable the pattern lock and get back to twrp with your file folders intact?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
First, my bad for misreading your post. I thought you said "How did you update to PIE", as if you were asking for directions, which is why I suggested the guide :p

Second, I do not use any security on my device, so I never pay attention to the remove all security prior to TWRP stuff, sorry.

Looks like I scored 0 for this post :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
No; your guide is very helpful to the community and that is most important. After my "experiment," I'm going to be more careful (and cautious) when I boot into recovery:D
