A few pages back I posted that I can still grant new apps root access with Magisk on DP1. Not sure what exactly I did but I posted the steps I followed in that post. Can't install new modules within Magisk and SafetyNet fails though but at least I can grant root access to new apps still.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sticky Fin:
Try removing the -w in flash-all script.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
I did the same method and all of my installed apps (except the root apps) are FC on me when I open them, even google! Whenever I revert back to P while clean, everything works. Can someone pm me with their steps?

I have a question, what if you pull your su binary or your Sbin folder from 8.1 and once rooted on P, push it into your system and reboot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
Mine is running fine. Like I said I don't really know what I did for it to work except the steps I posted. Even my Viper4Android stayed installed and still works. Here's a screenshot of my Magisk Manager.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sulpher:
Ya its really screwy at the moment apparently.. why I kept messing with it.. but the patched kernel method was the only thing I could replicate again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
How is MM detecting root???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
I have no clue but I've been able to replicate this twice so far.

Steps followed

1. Clean flashed March Security factory image and let it restore apps, run through the entire setup process.

2. Booted using TWRP 3.2.1-1 image

3. Flashed TWRP 3.2.1-1 zip

4. Flashed Flash's v2.23.b2 Kernel zip

5. Flashed Magisk v16.0 zip

6. Rebooted to System

7. Installed Viper4Android Magisk module

8. Installed some root apps like Power Menu, Root Explorer, etc. and granted them root access.

9. Dirty flashed DP1 factory image

10. Booted back up and made sure things worked. Root apps like Power Menu couldn't detect root any longer.

11. Rebooted into TWRP by fastbooting TWRP 3.2.1-1 image

12. Flashed TWRP 3.2.1-1 zip

13. Flashed Flash's v2.23.b2 Kernel zip

14. Flashed Magisk v16.0 zip

15. Rebooted to System

That's all I did and I've done the same process twice now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
Did you restore a backup of your apps on 8.1?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
Yes, from my Google backup. Of course none of the root apps worked until I flashed Magisk. But then when it came to DP1 I just dirty flashed it and proceeded to installed TWRP, Kernel and Magisk like I had done before and that was it.

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

Actually now that I think about it my phone backed up to Google overnight while I was on DP1. So when I went through the clean install of 8.1 during the setup process I restored apps from the latest backup which would have been when I was on DP1.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sulpher:
Ah brilliant... trying this, back in 30 mins! lol...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dredq:
If you install Flash kernel you should pass safety net
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
I already installed Flash kernel after I dirty flashed DP1 and then flashed Magisk after the kernel.

Have you tested the driver to see if it is still processing? I had it still show up and Dolby but neither worked for me

---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

I was unable to get tethering to work adding the line in the build.prop through Root Explorer
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
Viper works but Dolby doesn't. Dolby app lags really bad and when you enable it within the app then music stops playing until you turn it off. I suspect it's because the Dolby version is specific to Oreo.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
Ok thanks, mine showed processing until I had music playing and then it stopped. Since I uninstalled VIper I guess there isn't anyway to get it back without starting from scratch on 8.1 is there?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
I couldn't really say but I don't think there is a way to get it back unless you start from scratch on 8.1 because Magisk won't let me install new modules on DP1 even though MM sees root and it still allows me to grant root access to new apps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
Ok thanks that was my thoughts as well. Good thing I'm off tomorrow to start from scratch now that I know what I'm doing.......I just made myself laugh lol

How do I get TWRP to accept my PIN to decrypt? I booted into it so I could install the zip file, but it keeps telling me the password is invalid.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Install what zip file?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I booted into TWRP using "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2.img" so I can actually install TWRP to the device using the TWRP-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.2.1-2.zip file. Using the instructions from the TWRP thread for the Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
If your on P, then you'll likely have to remove screen lock to regain touch input.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
I've followed the steps twice and get close. After the final reboot I am still able to access titanium and Root Explorer and they show as having root access. The strange part is when I open Magisk it shows like there is no root and prompts me to install. The only difference is that I used the new TWRP 3.2.1.2 and not 3.2.1.1 that was in your instructions. Thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
The only other thing was that when I clean flashed the March 8.1 factory image and went through the setup process I let it restore all my apps from my Google backup from the night before. When the backup took place I was already on DP1 so it restored my apps from when I was on DP1 to 8.1. But I have no clue if that made any difference. Don't really know what else to try but I've done those steps twice and it has worked for me. If I get time I'll go through it again and make sure I've captured everything I do.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
Ok thanks. I'm going to give it a go again.

I can sideload P with a locked bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
You should be able to sideload the OTA file through the stock recovery. From my understanding you just can't go back... enter at your own risk
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ArkhamKnight:
Sorry I'm somewhat new to this. So I wouldn't be able to do it through OTA adb sideloading?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
Yes you can. That is the only way for you to upgrade. I was only saying that if you didn't like it or something went wrong you can't flash back without unlocking the bootloader
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ArkhamKnight:
Alright so Im doing the sideload and I keep getting an error. "Signature verification failed" "Error 21"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
Sorry not sure how to help you out. Best of luck though. Any reason you don't unlock the bootloader?

Unlock the bootloader and fastboot "flash-all" the March factory image. Follow the instructions in Google's factory images page.

About the only thing you can do side load the March OTA. It will wipe your phone I do believe though.

If it's a Verizon device, you can't unlock it.

If not then try disabling your screen lock and then unlock bootloader. This is assuming the OEM unlock switch is ON in the developer settings.

laptop and windows 10 , pixel 2XL 128 GB EU Version
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
I'm not 100% sure on this but, I thought the EU versions have a 6 month waiting period before it can be unlocked because it requires an unlock code. Then again, that may only be for the EE network. If that's not the case, then, are your SDK platform tools up to date? And, are you using a good 2.0 USB-A to USB-C cable?

By the looks of your pic, I think you can't unlock it because OEM unlocking is grayed out :(

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Thank you for posting this. Had no idea that a PIN would prevent you from turning OEM unlocking on.

I had installed Android P on my Pixel XL to check out, and while checking something, accidentally turned off the OEM unlocking toggle, and could not for the life of me get it to switch back on.

The toggle was active, and would switch to on, then ask for PIN, when I entered it, it would accept and immediately turn the OEM toggle off again.

Not sure if its a bug or what, but was annoying me badly.

Disabling the PIN allowed me to turn it back on.
