Try to boot TWRP and then flash magisk from there. Much easier doing it this way.

Just make sure of the followings before you flash:

- you are on stock image

- you boot TWRP using fastboot command not Flashing it - temporary TWRP

- if you want permeant TWRP, after the above, flash TWRP installer Zip from the temporary TWRP

Good luck ?

possibly a bad or issue with USB cable?

i remember folks were having issues with USB-C to USB-C cables, which seemed to resolve with using USB-A to USB-C cable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] purenrg13:
Problem with cable?

Its a brand new cable. I have an old Turbo cable, or the cable that came with my pixel3. The cable and phone are only 4 months old, and aside from using it to patch to computer, I do not use it at all. Not even to charge phone. I use a separate $10 c type Walmart special cable for that.

I don't know how to reply directly to messages. But thank you for that info. You are correct. It is a typo. I was half asleep when I sent the post. As you can see I missed numerous typos.

I will give it a shot on my next day off using your instructions.

I did not install twrp. So when I flashed patched image to phone it was a direct flash. The instructions I was following never mentioned twrp, whether temp or permanent. That is the only thing that I can think I would be missing.

Thank you again for the info. And I apologize for any typos.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gnomish:
This was really helpful for me, didn't realize I had to boot into temp twrp before running magisk zip. Still having some issues getting it to stick after installing twrp and elementalx kernel after in temp twrp but will keep playing. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matt1515:
Looking for some input I had root working with latest magisk.(used app to make boot image) then I tried to install twrp. Booted in then permanently installed it then I tried the magisk uninstall zip. Then I flashed elemental x and then magisk 14.4 then boot loop. Did flash all removing -w on both a and b partitions but had crashing and no wifi available so had to factory reset to fix. Is this because I tried downgrading magisk even tho I deleted original? Or was this the twrp?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MiNoOo:
Once you temporary boot into recovery, you need to flash the installer zip for TWRP. You will find it in their website

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RafalCOM:
I am always flashing google's image and applying Magisk. Some time ago I started to have problems with SafetyNet and I am running out of ideas how can I fix it. Root works fine (mostly used for AdAway) but a SafetyNet check shows:

ctsProfile: false

basicIntegrity: false

(please see attached screen)

I would think that flashing a factory image should be like starting from a scratch but two updates in a row and no fix.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
Are you using any modules
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mac796:
Try toggling magisk hide button off then back on. And if your running xposed you won't pass safety net
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
There is a xposed module that will hide the the cts integrity and still pass on google play store and android pay. Not sure the name. used it before i was on a custom rom.

Edit : Its called "No device Check"
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mac796:
I'll have to look again. I'm on a custom rom to now, but I tried a module That was supposed to do that when I was on stock but maybe it was the wrong one.

Need help getting phone to boot after flashing Magisk v14.4.zip via TWRP

EDIT: FIXED BY NOT FLASHING KERNEL. Refer to post #1264

Process:

-install clean feb factory.img using deuce script (data wiped)

-fastboot twrp.img

-wipe dalvik cache/data (per Nitrogen instructions)

-flash in batch NitroROM.zip, twrp,zip, Flash kernel.zip in that order

-reboot system

-boot back into twrp

-flash Magisk v14.4.zip

-reboot system

-Bootloop!

I've tried swapping slots, flashing to different slots, but only get stuck in bootloop.

I can only prevent bootloop by batch flashing NitroROM, twrp, kernel and magisk 14.4 in the initial install; however, the Magisk.apk shows NO root after startup

Am I missing a step? I keep seeing info about boot.img, but I figured it doesn't apply to me since I'm using a twrp, a custom rom and kernel.

Please help!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Why are you using magisk 14.4???? 16.0 is the newest version :confused:

And...let the phone boot up once after you flash the rom and twrp.zip. Then go back and flash your kernel and magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Felix_222:
The OP lists 14.4 with download link. I guess it isn't updated. Will try 16.0! Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Are you using a P2XL?? I read nitrorom which I may have confused for nitrogen. My bad if I messed up :fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Felix_222:
Yep, on P2XL. Sorry, I used nitro for short!

Just batch installed everything and it didn't work. NitrogenROM.zip, TWRP.zip, Flashkernel.zip, Magisk16.0.zip.

Am I missing a step?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Yep, kinda. After you flash the rom and twrp.zip, let the phone boot up once. Then go back and flash your kernel and twrp:good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Felix_222:
No luck :(

-Flash ROM and TWRP

-Boot into system and do initial setup

-Boot back into TWRP

-Flash Kernel and Magisk

-Reboot sytem

-Bootloop!

Am I missing a step regarding slots or something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
And it would probably be better if you posted this in the Rom thread :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Felix_222:
The ROM, TWRP, Flash Kernel all work. Flashing Magisk sends me into bootloop. Any last ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
If you have the magisk manager app installed, maybe try installing it through there. When you say bootloop, are you getting stuck at the google screen, or going back to recovery or bootloader mode?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Felix_222:
White Google unlocked screen then reboot

EDIT: Skipped flashing Flash kernel and all is working! Confirmed root.

Process:

-install clean feb factory.img using deuce script (data wiped)

-fastboot twrp.img

-adb push desired .zips to flash

-wipe dalvik cache/data (per Nitrogen instructions)

-flash in batch NitroROM.zip, twrp,zip, DO NOT FLASH kernel

-reboot system

-boot back into twrp

-flash Magisk v16.0

-reboot system

-Success!

Did you use my 2.21.1 zip?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] noranyan:
Same issue here but luckily it's gone by:

- On the white screen, reboot to TWRP through bootloader (by key combination)

- Flash Magisk uninstaller.zip (with Flash kernel still installed)

- Reboot back to system once (just wanted to assure that things are normal without Magisk)

- Reboot to TWRP again

- Install Magisk.zip again

- Should be able to reboot to system without stucking at the white screen

- Install Magisk manager

- Done! Rooted with the all mighty Flash kernel!

Magisk is 16.0. (beta channel enabled)

Flash kernel 2.20.

Quite a few steps sound redundant, but I almost have similar issues every time I flash kernel and update Magisk.

I know it is recommended to update Magisk directly through the manager itself, but as a faithful Flash kernel user and flash junkie you are obliged to update Magisk by flashing the zip like once a week, after flashing our holy flash kernel...

Hope this helps. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
Just for safety since i'm 1st-timmer with pixel. If i want just custom kernel and magisk root i just patch the boot.img of the custom kernel and flashing it via fastboot after unlocking bloader right? i'm stock/unrooted right now with march update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
You can follow these steps, starting at:

fastbooting TWRP.img,

skip flashing TWRP.zip (so TWRP won't stick),

then flash cust kernel zip in twrp,

then magisk zip in twrp,

reboot,

twrp goes away and you have cust kernel and magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
i actually read that a few mins ago but i was interested in doing it with fastboot since i already have everything
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Correct. Or you can flash the kernel and magisk with temporary twrp. After you reboot, twrp will be gone :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
I know it's kinda OT in magisk but trying fastboot flashing unlock does nothing . Instead i get the info page of fastboot. all other commands work fine oem unlock is turned on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
Update your fastboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
It was actually something weird. I'm on a mac and while ./fastboot was recognised as a command and fastboot was needed ./fastboot flashing unlock was ok instead of fastboot flashing unlock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] madscribblerz:
I don't do this and everything works fine.

I flash, fastboot twrp, flash twrp, kernel and magisk and reboot. All works great.

I do suggest a reboot after these 3 before installing any magisk modules - I've had problems there. FWIW.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] holla420:
Think magisk would work on Android P?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
You are correct, it's usually not an issue with stock. With the custom roms popping up it's necessary to boot once before rooting. Just wanted to let new folks know if venturing into the rom scene.

How does SN matter if you don't have root? :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elreydenj:
Safety net doesn't pass with an unlocked bootloader. There is a patch of some sort in custom kernels that allows for safety flag to not trip when BL is unlocked. That may have changed in P or Flash may not have been able to incorporate it....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tlbland0426:

Have you tried updating MM through the app itself, or flashed the 16.0 zip with twrp??
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] km00000:
I patched the boot.img and flash it but no luck. Not sure what you mean by updating through the MM app. I am not rooted, so can't do that.

I was trying to avoid flashing twrp since it involves me having to go through turning off my passcode which leads to a bunch of apps using the fingerprint sensor getting angry; even if I set up my passcode again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:

Ok as it turns out I hadn't properly installed magisk that's why I couldn't install any modules. I unlocked bootloader and flashed the patched boot image but my phone got whipped so I had to patch the img from manager again to work.
