UPDATE FOR GOOGLE PIXEL 2 DEVICE FOR ALL USERS (PRO AND PUBLIC)

This is to update your Toolkit.exe file so that adb/fastboot files can be automatically updated to the latest version. This should fix any problems with flashing November firmware images due to outdated files. This update will also fix pro users restarting to the wrong device module after taking an AutoUpdate (affective from the next update).

Pro users can just start the Toolkit as normal. After you have selected your device you will be notified there is an update available [v1.0.3] and can auto update. SIMPLE.

Non Pro users have a few extra steps.

1. Exit the Toolkit if it is open.

2. Run ToolkitClean.exe from the intallation folder (or the Start Menu)

3. Select the device from the list (option 09)

4. Type ‘y’ or ‘yes’ (without the quotes) to delete the existing module files and settings for the device

5. Select option 62 from the list to update Toolkit.exe to the latest version

6. Type ‘y’ or ‘yes’ (without the quotes) to delete the existing module files and settings for the device

7. Restart the Toolkit, select the device and new module files will be downloaded/installed

If you want to donate to the device module project or purchase an Ultimate Code to unlock all devices/features please do it through the Toolkit so you get the right code fast.

Ur drivers for Windows are a god send I could not get my ADB to upgrade and flashall.bat was failing so I ran ur driver install with system wide ADB bam worked like a charm thx man

Will I get the regular google updates if my phone is unlocked and rooted?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FSRBIKER:
Yes please add Magisk root.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rbsummers:
Yes, I would like to try the Magisk root, and I like being able to do everything with your toolkit.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Xechorizo:
This doesn't seem to root for me using EMR options on my Pixel 2 (non Verizon). SuperSU is installed, but root checker fails. Did the cleanup as well, but no dice unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DRaGoN94RuS:
Hey! On this page Google Pixel 2 is unsupported. Where i can download build with support this device?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] destiple:
I'm skeptical about the accuracy of this. Has anyone successfully rooted their Pixel 2 with this tool?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GOODYMAN:
Won't Root my Project Fi 2XL

Nah, it doesn't root my Project Fi 2XL either. It took a couple of tries before it even pushed SuperSU, but even then Root Checker fails.

Trying to flash stock firmware on Pixel 2. Takes about a half hour to download and everything. I end up just getting your device has not been set.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TheFluffyOne:
As far as I'm aware, the EE UK Pixel 2 XL bootloader can't be unlocked. The unlock option in the developer settings is greyed out. I tried using "fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot oem unlock"; neither is successful.

Does this tool do something above and beyond the fastboot method?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Stretlow:
I've used this toolkit on my last two devices but I can't get it to root my new pixel 2

I got stuck in a boot loop and the toolkit wouldn't even flash the stock image.

I had to use the sdk tool for the first time to flashback to stock
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mskip:
If EE UK have locked the bootloader for Pixel 2 devices then im afraid not much can be done as forcing a bootloader unlock is extremely difficult for devs to work round.

UPDATE FOR GOOGLE PIXEL 2 DEVICE FOR ALL USERS (PRO AND PUBLIC)

A couple of updates to post. Sorry there hasn't been much activity over the past few weeks I have been in hospital.

Changelog [Google Pixel 2 XL]

[V1.0.5] 01ST DEC 2017

+Fixed/Enabled Stock image flash routine [option 9 from main menu]

+Added option in stock flash routine for standard flash or extract images/flash

+Updated Magisk Beta to v14.5.1456 with support for Pixel2/XL devices

[V1.0.4] 27TH NOV 2017

+Enabled Custom Recovery functions and added TWRP 3.1.1.beta2 to download/use

+Made some minor adjustments to toolkit procedures

Custom recovery options are now available so you can try rooting with SuperSU. The Toolkit should also push SuHide to protect it from safetynet. You can also try Magisk as I think the beta version works with Pixel2/XL now. When I added the Pixel2/XL devices to the Toolkit I forgot to add them to the list for stock image flashing which is why it came up with the message saying device has not been set. This has been fixed and I have provided 2 flashing options for all Pixel devices. You can use the standard method google uses or you can extract the images from the image zip file and flash them separately. This 2nd method will set the active slot to slot a before flashing. It has been proven to better fix soft bricked devices but both should work fine.

Pro users can just start the Toolkit as normal. After you have selected your device you will be notified there is an update available and can auto update. SIMPLE.

Non Pro users have a few extra steps.

1. Exit the Toolkit if it is open.

2. Run ToolkitClean.exe from the intallation folder (or the Start Menu).

3. Select option 62 to update the Toolkit.exe file to the latest version.

4. Select the device from the list

5. Type ‘y’ or ‘yes’ (without the quotes) to delete the existing module files and settings for the device

6. Restart the Toolkit, select the device and new module files will be downloaded/installed

If you want to donate to the device module project or purchase an Ultimate Code to unlock all devices/features please do it through the Toolkit so you get the right code fast.

Gathered as much. Thanks for confirming!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 39emfive:
Hi guys, I'm expecting my Pixel 2 some time this week and would like to root it out of the box. Sorry for being such a skeptic but this thread has been started about a month ago and I'm not seeing much people post any successful feedback. Can anyone chime in?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
I used tool kit to flash twrp on my P2 with no issues.

I haven't used it for anything else but that worked great,!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] veggiesweats:
It worked great for me. Very clear step by step instructions.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bik2101:
mine got stuck for some reason during the rooting.. now have to re-flash a stock google image, trying to anyways. the download option on the toolkit didn't work (seems to not actually execute anything) so i had to go to the google factory images download page and downlaoding now

sucks because I just finished re-setting everything up.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SomeGuy4:
Couple things. My P2 was 8.0.0 [OPD1.170816.025, Nov 2017]

I had successfully rooted with magisk, which to my understanding is a systemless root using both boot slots. I was also under the assumption that OTA remained intact. When 8.1.0 was available it wouldn't update. Only after going back to stock boot was OTA successful. Just thought I'd mention that.

Second, the P2 module won't update to 1.0.6. It detects that there is an update but won't download the update after running the cleaner. AV had the exception already so not sure what's up there. There is no mention of 1.0.6 on skipsoft either.....
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] buschris:
Mine also would not take the OTA. Thanks to this tool (and the community) I was able to use the tool to download the OTA zip and use stock recovery to sideload ADB. YAY!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] finesse:
So, I've just got a pixel 2 xl from ee. Bootloader toggle is unchecked!!

Does this mean that I can not root the phone &/or flash custom ROMs or kernels?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cvoid:
I'm running a rooted version 8.0.0, could you give any advice how to update? I'm a bit nervous and I don't want to brick the device ;)

TWRP install fails for me, but rooting it worked....
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] elliwigy:
lol if its unchecked and greyed out ur outta luck... for now
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cognitivedissonance:
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for this in advance. Nexus Root Toolkit made modding my Nexus 6P so simple, and this sounds like it's the same or better. I'm very pleased and relieved to see that a tool like this is available and is still being actively developed and supported. I'm more than happy to support the protect and I'll be buying an Ultimate key as soon as I get my new Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jascolli:
FYI the toolkit has not been updated with the latest January factory image or the latest Magisk. Thank you
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ImIntoStuff:
Can I do system updates normally after I unlock bootloader, root and install Magisk and Busy box?

I see my notifications say it could not do the system update but I don't wanna do the wrong thing and brick it.

Thank you. I am on 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.011)

[MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION] I donated to get the Pixel 2 toolkit on Thursday and sent two emails and I have not heard anything back. Can u get my code sent over? Purchased it with PayPal account 98sonomaman@gmail.com
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kBTWOFOUR:
Good luck getting a reply back because I have been waiting for over two months for him to reply to my emails and send the correct code. Poor customer service.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krunk_Kracker:
Really? Well... I doubt I can get my money back since it was a donation on PayPal. Guess I'll have to report it to the mods.

Can we update to the February security patch with this toolkit? It's not showing on mine (non-pro)..
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krunk_Kracker:
Not to say [MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION] isn't good for it, but for anyone else looking to donate for a code, you may want to hold off. For whatever reason, mskip isn't replying to PM's, or even emails directly from his site. I donated to get a code just to make upgrading my Verizon P2 with unlocked bootloader easier, and I have yet to hear back, he has my 8 bucks but I have not received a code. I know he's not sketchy or a scammer, because I've used his toolbox all the way back to the 1st gen Nexus 7 and he always provided the codes in a timely matter, but for whatever reason, that is not the case right now.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krunk_Kracker:
[MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION], those of us who donated for a toolkit, will we ever get the codes?

I received an email from you about 3 weeks ago that gave me all of my old codes that I purchased years ago, but nothing about a code for my Pixel 2.

His last post on this thread was on December 1, 2017. He apologized for a lack of activity and said he'd been in hospital, but gave no additional detail as to why. His last post on the forums at all was on the 9th of January. If I were to guess, I think that he may not be well. Hopefully that's not the case.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krunk_Kracker:
Ahh, I was unaware.

I read through some of his most previous posts and didn't see anything about that.

Hopefully, he is well, and it's understandable if that is the case as to him ghosting us.

Hi, first of all let me introduce myself my name is Craig Roberts I am a coder for Roblox games but I am here primarily to get everything up to date and help the Unified Android Toolkit to grow again. Mark has been unwell for quite some time and is unable to use a keyboard or mouse and a lot of people who promised to answer emails and keep the site up to date for him (and for which he paid them) have let him down so I offered to step in and get everything back in working order again. This is his only source of income right now and I have known him for a long time so I wanted to help.

Email support and missing Toolkit codes: If you have sent an email and not been responded to then I apologise. I will start working through the backlog but missing codes will take priority so if you have purchased a code for a pro/ultimate version of the Toolkit and not had an answer please help me out, do not open a paypal dispute, email me at skipsoft.toolkit@gmail.com and I will send your code right away (during office hours). You can also go to http://skipsoft.net/donate/getcode.php and enter your paypal email to get your code. There seems to be a problem with paypal processing hotmail addresses which has caused a lot of unresponded payments and I assure you this has not been on purpose and will be sorted out.

Please wish Mark well in his slow recovery, he is upset he cannot maintain the Toolkit but I have promised I will stick by it as it is a great kit he has developed over the years and has helped out many thousands of users. I reiterate this is his only source of income so please support him as best you can if the Toolkit has ever been a help to you (I know its saved my neck on more than 1 occasion which is why im here today). Any support and/or purchase of a code will help ease the worry of him looking after his family.

Feel free to retweet and share this post to get the message out that the Toolkit is not dead and we can make it great again (and help Mark out).

Thank you and stay tuned for more updates, Craig.

Pro/Ultimate User Auto Update Available:

The device module has been updated for all builds up to the latest version. All the firmware and OTA firmware images have been added to the firmware section on the Google devices and the OTA images added for the OnePlus devices. These can be downloaded and flashed directly through the Toolkit for your convenience.

If you find any of this useful PLEASE donate to a device project. You can do it through the Toolkit (after selecting the device at startup) or from the link at https://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 so you get the right code fast and can update to the latest version. You can also go ULTIMATE mode and unlock ALL device modules for the lifetime of the Toolkit. Follow us on twitter at https://twitter.com/skipsoftnet for posts/updates.

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FSRBIKER:
One post from someone trying to help out Mr. Skip then it seems like he disappeared.

I want to be wrong but almost seemed liked a money grab then run, get fresh people to donate/buy the toolkit but with no support. Android 9.0 has been out in Beta for months then released almost a month ago but the Tool Kit has no updates.

Like I said I hope I'm wrong but everyone should stop and think before spending any money.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krunk_Kracker:
I bought mine back before I even knew anything was going on with mskip, and once I found out that he is in terrible shape and unable to work, I just wrote it off because I understand it's a terrible situation, and I figured my little bit of money might help in his situation. I don't even need the toolkit, I'm fine with Minimal ADB and Fastboot and just using commands, but I've always supported mskip and it's super easy and lazy to use a toolkit so I bought it. I almost wish whoever it is on mskip's account would have just not said they're going to make it right, because I got my hopes up and actually sent out emails as they instructed.

[MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION], just remove the ability for you to continue to take donations and move on, instead of making false claims of making it right.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Jay794:
I've just received my Mate 10 and I love it, coming from a Nexus 6P which was a great phone when it was released, but 2 years on it aged quickly, the battery used to die at 20%. I've had Mate 10 for 24 hours now, only charged it once out of the box, transferred all my apps and photos, watched a film and I'm still sitting at 80% that's insane!

So naturally now I've got used to the phone, and figured out what it can and can't do, the next logical step is to root it, install Adaway and whatever else. But I'm pretty new at Huawei phones, although I had a Nexus 6P it was easy to root. I've had Sony Xperia's in the past that when you rooted them, certain apps stopped working or the camera quality degraded, does anything like that happen with the Mate series? And if not, how can I root this phone asap?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] xT29c:
There is no route available if there was, someone here would surely post about it.

That being said a root method will first be discovered with Chinese users on Chinese websites and forms and if were lucky enough the translated although may be poorly translated guide will be ported here to XDA.

I had the mate 8, rooted, custom ROM. the issue that I had with that phone along with every other phone that I installed a custom ROM to was, that about a month after doing a fresh install of a custom ROM the phone would get so slow and on the mate eight certain installs would get so slow that the phone would just hang and crash on simply trying to unlock the phone.

So, that being said, I don't know if the same issues were experienced by other users but I don't think I'm going to be rooting my phone anytime soon I'm gonna try to use this phone the way it was meant to be use out-of-the-box although I have been experiencing crashing which makes me kind of regret getting this phone because as it is right now it is unusable.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Jay794:
Unstable? You think? I've had no issues so far and I've read about something called Funkyhuawei but it seems like a very expensive option just to mod the phone
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Just rooting the phone is free with FunkyHuawei, if you have your bootloader unlock code. Rebranding it costs money.

Google for "FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding tool" and use the tool there to root.

Be careful because there are some caveats to rooting, namely losing your data partition.

Also, once you gain root be EXTREMELY CAREFUL, because Huawei phones are notoriously easy to brick, and you won't be able to unbrick for free in many cases.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] VTEChump:
I rooted my Mate 10. All I needed was the bootloader unlock code from Huawei, and the FunkyHuawei tool. Worked great, took about 20 minutes, if you don't need to rebrand, root is free using their tool.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Jay794:
What affect does it have by losing the data partition?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
The main thing you'll notice is that you'll be missing stock themes and wallpapers and such. I don't think there is a huge effect, but I don't use root on the Mate 10, so hopefully someone else can chime in.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] xT29c:
It's good to know that there is a root option available for the make 10. Especially coming from a US user.

I will debate whether I should use root or not. To be honest I'm more concerned with stability. Because right now on stock firmware, not rooted, I'm facing many crashes.

I've a question, this might be a newbie question, but if you root your device, will it still receive OTA updates?

I remember with my mate eight after routing, and installing a custom ROM, it was not recognized by the official Huawei PC suite if I wanted to update to nougat stock nougat firmware.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tboy2000:
I have had the Mate 8, 9 and now the 10 and with all of them I have never rooted them as I have been very happy with the whole experience.
