People with trouble on 16.6 should be posting their setup to find a common thread. I've seen ElementalX mentioned a couple times in different posts. Rom, kernel, magisk modules, screen security, etc...

I installed 16.6 with zero issues. I'm on stock July with flash kernel 2.50 and pattern plus fingerprint. Substratum. Here's my magisk modules.

Active edge mod

App ops system plugin

Enable doze for gms

Single user mod

Viper

Wire guard command-line

Also have the TWRP released the other day installed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Magisk 16.6 works fine for me. Pixel 2 XL, P DP4, EX kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SysWiz:
I'm on stock July security patch.

I've tried Flash kernel 2.50 and latest Ex Kernel.

Pattern plus fingerprint.

TWRP 3.2.2-0

Here are my magisk modules:

Active edge mod

BusyBox for Android NDK

Unified Hosts Adblock

Xposed Framework SDK 27

GravityBox (running under Xposed)

I can easily repeat the Google Services crashing problem by booting into TWRP, installing Magisk 16.6, and restarting. Fortunately, I've been able to resolve it by booting into TWRP, installing Magisk 16.4, and restarting.

I have tried testing the different kernels by booting into TWRP, installing the kernel, installing Magisk 16.6, and then restarting. I've also tried clearing the cache/dalvik to see if that would make a difference. No dice.

Super stable with 16.4, but wonky with 16.6. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bemagrp:
Same here: july stock, 3.2.2.0 twrp, latest elementalx , magisk 16.4 with modules:

BusyBox for Android NDK

Unified Hosts Adblock

As soon as flash 16.6 google services stop working, flashing back 16.4 is the fix.

On 16.6, so far no root loss. Hopefully that issue is gone for good.

No security (pins, password, etc)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] turboencab:
In hopes of finding a common thread for those of us having issues.

Stock July security patch

PIN plus fingerprint

Nova launcher (Tried Pixel launcher with same results)

Modules

Busybox for Android NDK

Unified Hosts Adblock

Probably irrelevant but...

First I installed 16.6 by letting Magisk Manager upgrade directly

Also tried manually via Magisk Manager patching and flashing patched_boot.img

Finally uninstalled Magisk Manager, flashed stock boot.img then installed Magisk zip file via TWRP (3.2.2)

In all cases shortly after reboot I get a ton of app crashed messages with the Google services message repeating. Also widgets never seem to load, although they may if I waited long enough.

Edit: All apps that were reported as crashed are on my Magisk Hide list. I've reverted to 16.4 but when I have time will try 16.6 with nothing on Magisk Hide list fwiw.

No,16.6 working great, no error messages or fc's.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] whezzel:
I'm on a pixel 2 xl with the 8.1 dev preview 1 installed. I got the patched boot.img installed and root/safety net both work.

I am unable to use the systemless hosts option though, and when I try to install modules, it will only move some of the files to /magisk/MODNAME. I have to copy the rest of the files manually. When I reboot, the modules are listed as installed but none of them actually work.

Is this just me or are others having this same issue?

Also I've lost root a couple of times and had to reboot to get it back. I'm not worried about that though since I had the same issue on my n6p and it eventually got fixed. I'm just reporting what I've found so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] metalcated:
I've seen mentions of not using Stericson's BusyBox and editing /system/etc/hosts directly due to failing safetynet checks but I've done both and still pass safetynet.

So, I've read the OTA installation tips for Magisk and it clearly notes that no changes to /system or /vendor need to be in place. If I'm reading this correctly, that means I need to undo the tether mod. Restore stock boot thru Magisk and then follow the three steps with dual partition devices, correct? Can anyone else confirm this? My first time with Magisk and an OTA.

UPDATE: So, I did the steps above and when I go to install the system update it fails during step 1. Just says Installation Failed and there is an option for Try Again. I've tried it, same situation. Has anyone updated to the latest security update thru the OTA process?

Just undoing any mods you've done directly to /system isn't enough to take an OTA. You'll have to completely flash a clean /system. It can't even have been mounted as rw...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mac796:
This exact same thing happened to me. I believe it was one or two reasons I wasn't unlocked critical. And I didn't have the most updated fastboot. I mean I did have the most updated fastboot but I forgot to change my path so it was using my old version.

I'm on 8.1 with a locked BL. I know I need to unlock bootloader/critical and can then get Magisk/root up and running. I'm well versed in that stuff.

But what I don't know is when the next 8.1 update comes out will I be able to just flash it by downloading it from the beta site and running the flash all without wiping and then presumably reapply Magisk as long as the process till work? Or will I end up having data wiped again? Just don't want to have to setup my device more than once. Thanks for any input
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] metalcated:
Well if you root now you can always backup your apps and data and at least recover your crucial stuff. Also I've noticed that Google is starting to backup some app data which gets restored after a wipe during setup. But in the end the choice is yours [emoji6]

I had some issues getting JUST Magisk 16.6 to run when flashing over adb but when I used TWRP it was fine.

Now I'm just debating sticking with Android P DP4 or going back to Oreo because of the decent amount of custom ROMS.

Clearing Google Play Services storage fixed those issues for me. SafetyNet now passes. Running DP4.

On the v16.6, i pass safety net but Unfortified in the play store and i am unable to make Purchases, Stating that my device is NOT PROVISIONED To contact my Carrier. I was on the Phone with Customer Care for a little over an hour, bouncing from Care to Tech Support and everything on their end is OK, there are no Purchasing Blocks on my account... I'm guessing this is some kind of Play Store Fraud Feature Perhaps?

I thought if you Pass Safety Net you would be Certified?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bad Bimr:
Got my Pixel 2 XL in May. Rooted it with Magisk v14.4 through Magisk Manager (no TWRP). All was fine and great until last week. I updated Magisk to v16.0. Without me doing anything Magisk patched dtbo.img and I was asked to reboot. Upon reboot I get an error "Android System: There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." It also seems to take longer for the phone to load all the widgets and stuff, almost a full minute. I decided to do a fresh flash of the July update. Phone was working fine and very fast. Booting up was very fast no long wait for widgets to load. Installed Magisk v16.0 again and al seemed good until it patched the dtbo.img and everything went as before. I now have the same error message when I reboot and it takes a while for the phone to load widgets and settings. Other than Magisk the phone is dead stock with an unlocked bootloader. Did I do something wrong? What is causing this?

Thanks

Thank you for advice, went to beta thread and found permanent solution for my problem.

Before installation of either 16.6 or 16.7, uninstall all installed modules, restart the phone, install 16.7 and no error messages and safety net passed right away. Then install module one by one and see which one triggered the problem.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
From posts in other threads, I'm getting the impression that two nagging issues with Pixel 2XL are Magisk related. These are the loop on restarts at the G and the "your pin is wrong" also on restarts. Both have til now been correctable with a full shut down and start. Anyone know if this impression is correct? Would reverting to 16.0 from the 16.6 or 16.7 beta cure these? Are these blips absent in the stable 16.0?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
From personal experience, I've had none of these issues that you've mentioned using stable 16.0. Having said that, I'm also not using the DP's, I just keep mine on 8.1 until P is officially released.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Agreed, on 8.1 I've seen no issues or differences between the last two beta versions either. Maybe I'm just lucky or blind... Lol

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
Thanks to the three of you. I'm on July stock 8.1, never a DP. When I do the August update, is it safe to just use the stable 16.0? I'll check this thread on reverting to stable version from the beta.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
If you stay on 8.1 then 16.0 would be safe. But Android 9 is much better in every way. 16.0 will not play well with 9.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
Does installing the latest factory image (with no -w) completely remove Magisk 16.7 to be safe before installing 16.0? It took 3 shutdown/start cycles this a.m. to get past the G screen bootloop. Guess I need to deal with this sooner rather than later.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Yep, it'll take out magisk, partially. When I went from 16.6 to 16.0, all I did was change the update channel from beta to stable, downloaded the 16.0 zip, then let magisk update itself to the stable version. Then after you fastboot the factor image, let it boot up once, then fastboot into twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then kernel.zip(if used) then the magisk 16.0 zip. EZ PZ :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
Thanks, your advice is appreciated. Used the Magisk Manager to install 16.0, rebooted and came up fine at 16.0 with Flash kernel. I'll do the August factory image when it releases. Think I'm good to go. Hope to see no more G bootloops. :)

Yes, but my solution of the 16.0 version may not work for you as you need the beta version I think with the DP. But, see Nathanchance's flash kernel thread as apparently there is a new test version of 16.7 available that reportedly cures both ills.

This is apparently also a common problem with the outdated 16.7 that I guess I was lucky enough to run into. I also got stuck after my first reboot and ended up reflashing P and this time using build 1674 and have had no problems. I only see up to 1671 on this thread.
