actually thats a good question, it didnt pass safety net on B1, maybe it does now. I personally am using 14.5.2 from the kantjer magisk repo 12/07 build (dont go near 12/19 build) magisk hide doesnt stick on reboot, thats about it for not working.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

pretty sad about jan (lol, thought you meant viper rom, you meant viperfx), but i can relate. im actually just using core mode, havent found anything i really need. I place iytbp in system by hand, and add aptx drivers by hand, modify system like i dont give a s***. Id be happy with supersu if it would flash. (it didnt on B1, might try it later)

is there a viper for oreo yet?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:

Ok, so I finally got Oreo Beta 2 rooted but something weird happens. No matter what boot.img I flash, other than stock, my wifi will not turn on. I hit the toggle it turns on and then turns right back off.

Has anyone experienced this?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] primaleph:
This happened to me with Magisk 14.5, but not 14.3.

Not sure if 14.3 is the cause of these duplicate text messages. I'll report back after a little more time.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
It's in the OP
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
I am rooted with 14.3 on B1 and getting random boots. When I checked in adb, I noticed many logcat processes running somehow. (>40 logcat processes in fact). Not sure how to fix it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] syckman:
Bricked?

Updated my phone by sideloading Beta 2 and that went fine but when trying to root using magisk through ADB, somehow phone got bricked and can now only boot up to boot screen (Essential logo - powered by android). I can boot into fastboot mode but when I select start or recovery, it brings phone back to the boot screen; plus from fastboot mode, my windows computer doesn't see the phone so can't use ADB at this time.

Tried the hard reset (hold volume down/power) for 30 seconds and it didn't help.

Anything else I can try? AM DESPERATE!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
I'm sorry, pretty new. In the OP?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahdiel2011:
It's just a softbrick. download the Stock image for 7.1.1 and flash using fastboot. You will be fine.

The first post in the thread
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] syckman:
Thx for prompt reply but the phone can't be found in my pc to flash in fastboot mode using adb. I type in 'adb devices' on pc and nothing shows up.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mgear356:
For beta 2, rooting uses Magisk 1456 or 143?

I am coming from beta 1 and 1456 did give me random re boots..

To 143 seems stable
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
I use 14.3 so far so good

twrp-mata_11 can't decrypt data on Oreo Beta2.

I enter my PIN, but get a decryption error.

Is data decryption still not supported?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
it works for me when i moved from beta1 to beta2. Input the pattern and it decrypts it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahdiel2011:
Remember that you have to type fastboot devices while on fastboot mode. Adb works when the phone is really on (recovery or turned on)

Type fastboot devices and you should see it

twrp-mata_11 is working fine for me, flashing Magisk14.3(1537) seems to be ok, but when I boot into ROM I don't have root...

Any suggestions?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Did you flash the B2 boot image before flashing Magisk 14.3? Root works for me in B2. Trying to figure out what's causing the random reboots.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vergilbt:
OREO-B2.img before Magisk?

Thought B2 is the last step for booting device?

My steps:

twrp-mata_11.img [MENTION=5137149]fastboot[/MENTION]

Magisk-v14.3(1437).zip [MENTION=1709323]recovery[/MENTION]

OREO-B2.img @ fastboot

Edit:

ups, did read the op again and there is written B2 before Magisk. Got finally root...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
i think the kernel/magisk is shaky for our device, hoping when flar2 release an elementalx kernel, he can overhaul it. all magisk versions have the same problem at the moment.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahdiel2011:
I rooted using Magisk-v14.3(1437) and The Boot Image for B2 and it installs and give me root but I start getting Force Closes and reboots.

I will try with Magisk-v14.2
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] syckman:
Thanks again. Works on 7.1.1 now, and going to give root on B2 another shot.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Yup, 14.0 was really stable for my 6P running 8.1 but 14.3 is still in beta and definitely not as stable as 14.0
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
Anyone else getting the random reboots still? Can't figure out what's causing it. Haven't really gotten logs as I'm not sure where to look. Not one that usually has issues is all. B2 seems better than B1 as it happened many times a day before, but only once so far on B2, for example i missed my alarm this morning because some time last night it started to bootloop.

Same scenario though. Seems random apps, user and system, will force close or freeze and then eventually reboots. Sometimes getting stuck in a loop of booting up, within less than 30 seconds of losing OS, it keeps rebooting again until I force a hard reboot with the power button.

Any insight would be appreciated. Clean flash of course with fastboot -w and followed instructions to a T. Flashed full B2 back to stock too. Hard reset holding the power button always fixes it for a while when it happens though. Odd since in my experience bootloops don't usually resolve itself that way (Like the new root process much better btw)

Edit: took a while to write up since I'm at work, but I see I'm not the only one...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Do try to clear the cache of the apps which are having the FC issue as they are the cause of my FC issue. Reboots I have yet to figure out as they are very random. Noticed dozens of logcat processes running before the reboots happen. Probably some issue somewhere spawning off the logcat processes till the phone is out of resources and reboots

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Haha... we're all at it. B2 is definitely more stable than B1. B1 can reboot for the simplest of tasks. But B2 has rebooted for me only after any phone calls lasting more than 10 minutes. Might be some issue interacting with the radio. Just hope that all the issues we're experiencing are software and not hardware in nature .
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
Is there an easy way to disable logcat with adb or buildprop to see if that helps the issues keeping more resources available then? I don't see how wiping appdata is going to help considering it was a fresh install with no restore of data. Plus for me at least it's dozens of apps, system and user installed. No rhyme or reason to them.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Logcat is a native service from Android. I don't think it can be turned off. Issue is only that some app/process is spawning off dozens of it under certain conditions and I am not sure what those conditions are. If I can, I would be able to remove/manage it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vergilbt:
Guys, you're talking about more stable?

One of you missed the alarm in the morning to wake up, one got reboots during phone calls?

This is meaning stable?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
More stable as in not as many/frequent issues as the B1 had. Plus I believe some of these issues are being introduced by rooting.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
The reboots for me happen about 5 minutes after calls that are more than 10 minutes. But significantly less issues than b1. This is the whole purpose of beta testing. To reduce bugs
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vergilbt:
To avoid misunderstandings...

I'm on beta 2 rooted too and got two reboots so far (one by using GBoard)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Don't think it is really GBoard related too. Was using Swiftkey on Whatsapp when it happened for me.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
From the way I understand at least I think it's a problem with rooting messes with the kernel and other things on the back end at the moment which causes panic and a reboot, or also possibly running out of resources due to logging the errors. When I get time I'm going to uninstall root and Flash the stock boot images and see if the issue persists.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vergilbt:
anybody running with superSu? maybe more stable?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] okgnew:
SuperSu doesn't install (aborts on sepolicy patching)

Way too many crashes on beta2 so going to reflash, this time without magisk and hopefully it will be useable.

Anyone on beta2 with magisk with no/very few crashes?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ad78:

So far my beta 2 has been rock solid. Rooted, substratum, and nav bar hidden.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
Let us know tomorrow if there have been any reboots -- check your uptime to confirm. And share what you're using to root. I was getting reboots pretty frequently with Magisk 14.3 but none without Magisk.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] primaleph:
Yes, I'm on beta 2 with magisk 14.3 . So far everything seems to be working great, except for MTP file transfer.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I've been running it since it dropped. Rooted a couple hours after that using the posted method. Not one crash.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
But OP method says Magisk or SuperSU. Which are you using? Maybe SuperSU is the stable route. If Magisk, which version an any suspicious errors in the log?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Magisk 14.3 and it passes safety net.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Mine has rebooted twice in the past 12 hours. Not too annoying as yet.

Magisk 14.6 has dropped with major changes.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74923643&postcount=33

Wonder if it will work better now. Shall try it later.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Polymira:
I keep trying to flash Magisk 14.6, and regardless of it looking successful, i boot and have no root.

Running Oreo Beta 2, I reboot into fastboot, flash TWRP, boot TWRP, flash stock boot image for b2, flash Magisk 14.6, reboot.

Open Magisk Manager - No root.

Also tried creating a patched boot image in Magisk Manager, did so and rebooted into fastboot, flashed the patched boot image, rebooted, no root.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
Exactly my results. Reverted back to 14.3 for now.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
Someone in the Magisk beta thread said that it worked installing it via Magisk Manager but not via twrp. Not sure which phone but I might try it. Probably need 14.3 at first then upgrade to 14.6.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahdiel2011:
After I definitely gave up on rooting due to the reboots after gaining root I decided to leave it unrooted and achieve the root actions that I considered necessary using adb shell commands instead.

I am really satisfied!!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] trunzoc:
I can't get Magisk 14.6 to install it n Nougat at all. Not via the Magisk app and not.from TWRP.

It says it installs, but when rebooted, the Magisk app says no Magisk is installed.

Went back to 14.3
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Just what I was afraid of. Guess it's not tested in this phone. The Dev has pixel phone
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoseb:
Actually, that's is the exact problem I have with 14.3 - which seems to work for everyone else and worked fine with my Oreo beta 1... :(

I tried both TWRP directly and sideload and in both cases it is happy, yet said it is not installed once rebooted.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
How did you restore your backups without root? I have to use titanium backup
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
Finally gave up on keeping this phone rooted on the Oero betas. Too many random reboots and instability. I mainly just wanted adblocking with Adaway so I just rooted the phone, dropped a modified host file , unrooted and all seems well now.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahdiel2011:
I pulled the build prop using adb pull made the changes I needed and pushed it again with adb push. I had the backed up files from 7.1.1 and I just started pushing each of those using adb. Titanium does the same thing but it needs root adb does not need that but you need to do it manually.

Looks like rooting Oreo Betas yield in random reboots. I had to unroot and the reboots went away. I was using Magisk v14.3.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] syckman:
Yep, same here. rooted with B2 yesterday and had +5 reboots in 3 hours. Took off Magisk & flashed again, and not a single reboot in 24 hours.

Next step is to read how to adb push host files to block ads.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Yup. I booted to the non-rooted slot and the reboots went away. probably a bug with 14.3 which is a beta version of magisk

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

I need root more for using Titanium backup to perform backup of my apps and data and blocking ads. I guess I can live with no root until I do backups each time. Will not be able to use Android Pay since the bootloader is unlocked .
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ChronoReverse:
Install the new Rey R2 kernel and you'll be able to use Android Pay since it will pass Safety net even with unlocked bootloader. No root though.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
I'm on Oreo beta 2 from a sideload after first flashing back to stock boot.img. Magisk 14.3 following instructions from this thread for root.

Substratum runs well and Magisk 14.3 passes safety net. Build runs smooth and no random reboots.

At first I did have some apps crash including Play services and safety net wouldn't pass, but when I updated my substratum theme all the apps are fine now and safety-net passes.

So not sure what's up with people having issues, wish I could help more. :/
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
I have no idea what's causing those reboots, but using B2 stock without root seems to be without a single reboot after 12 hours.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

All those random boots went away with the stock kernel without 14.3. Shall try Despair kernel if it works with AP. Shall use that until we have a more reliable root

"failed to mount '/system' device or resource busy"

I am getting an error saying "failed to mount '/system' device or resource busy" whenever any zip file is installed, the same error appears when I try to wipe cache as well.

It makes me assume things are not actually flashing/installing, but these things appear to be flashed when I boot up, just with existing issues.

i am having reboots in android auto on Beta 2 + 14.3 magisk.. think i will wait further

not too sure if 14.6 magisk will fix this..
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoseb:
Sorry for noob question but could someone indicate to me what I am doing wrong?

1) I first sideloaded twrp mata 11

2) the first time I flashed the new Oreo beta 2 build to update (of course)

3) then I flash the oreo B2 boot image from the OP

4) then I flash magisk 14.3 (without errors)

Upon reboot magisk manager says that magisk is not installed.

I have repeated steps 1,3, and 4 like 5 times; I have tried Magisk 14.0 (fails to install systemlessly) and also 14.6 (no error), I have re-downloaded every file in case soemthing was wrong, but no matter what I do, magisk says it is not installed and I have no root (but nice not to get any reboots haha).

Anyway, the OP instructions are clear and easy, so I don't know what I am not seeing here... :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vergilbt:
Did you mount system in recovery?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
2 things you need to do. I managed to get it rooted.

1. Mount system in twrp

2. Make sure you flashed to the right slot. Which twrp 14.3 are you using?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoseb:
1) I thought that was done automatically since it installed without errors, but I'll double check shortly!

2) TWRP from the AP, so the latest "mata-11".

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Not a single random reboot. Stock beta is n need stable
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jumaaneface:
Substratum seems to be there root cause of the reboots for me. Anyone else unable to mount /system in TWRP?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
Yeah, I can't either. I'm going to mess with it more later though. I haven't really spent much time figuring it out yet. And reboots for me are magisk 14.3. No substratum here.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
The root cause is MAgisk 14.3 as I believe it's not very stable. Removing it allows me to run without a single reboot for the past 24 hours. I am not using substratum and was also getting the random reboots till I reflashed stock boot over it. All the reboots magically went away.

Or just restore boot and ota?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoseb:
Thank you thank you!

All set, this worked like a charm right away... I knew it had to be something simple!

Also, I tried to install 14.6 from Magisk Manager after reboot but that did not work (for those who asked earlier...).
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] brqndon:
All was working well earlier today, but now I'm failing SafetyNet. Anyone else by any chance?

Also, in my attempt to try to gain root again, I noticed Magisk v14.3 is no where to be found on the Magisk thread. I wonder why.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Safetynet passes for me. I need to set it to core only mode for my case. IF no root, repeat the rooting process again with a clean stock boot.img ?

I am no longer rooted for the past 24 hours as 14.3 roots ok but causes too many random boots for my liking.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] brqndon:
I actually repeated the rooting process a number of times. Magisk v14.0 results in an error after flashing. v14.6 flashes fine but results in no root. And v14.3 now flashes fine and achieves root but fails SafetyNet.

Again, all was working fine up until 5 hours ago. Can anyone else confirm?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] okgnew:
Yes, same problem.

Only 14.3 works, but it fails SafetyNet (sometimes it passes right after reboot, but fails later).
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] brqndon:
Thanks for confirming. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I had done wrong.

Hopefully we can figure out a workaround.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
Are you running core only in 14.3? Just ask as I've had some problems passing with that. Running 14.3, all settings stock on it and passing just fine with OB2.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] brqndon:
Yes, I checked the Core Only option. I have no idea what happened. Everything was working fine up until last night when all of a sudden I lost root. So then I reflashed everything with no luck. Sigh.

I did use the Magisk uninstaller in attempt to start fresh, and I got an error during the flashing process for that and when I attempted to flash v14.0. Is it possible that I had messed something up in doing that?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] elrosid:
(NOUGAT) 2nd attempt to root and still no succeed. My TWRP cant mount system partition. It always unmounted after going back to TWRP home screen. Any helps? Thank you
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
As far as I understood it, I don't think v14.0 works for us. Try v14.3
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
Not sure of your exact steps so.. Flash TWRP to boot, boot recovery, flash stock B2 boot via TWRP, flash v14.3, reboot. Haven't had an issue doing this process with root or safety net. If you still have issues, I would try wiping data, flash full B2 dump, then use the steps above, and start fresh.

Edit: Sorry, not familiar enough to know what the logs mean but someone else might.
