But it's not necessary for adb sideload.

I'm trying to figure out what I need to try, now.

I am wondering if the slots is the issue.

So,

flash-all.sh(I'm in linux)

boot twrp

something about verifying slots, etc?

install magisk?

I've done all of this repeatedly, just not the magisk slot thing. The end result is a bootloop.

So what do I need to do differently with the slots?

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Ok.

I booted into TWRP, and saw it was currently slot B. I changed to slot A. I then tried to install magisk just like that, and it failed.

So I did flash-all(removed -w ) and everything installed into slot A. I then rebooted into twrp and it was still slot A. I then installed magisk and it rebooted and....

SAME Problem again :( Can't boot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig.s:
Read posts above. It seems you need to flash-all.bat both slots. After the 1st one, verify it boots ok, then go back to fastboot and change the active slot, then flash again. Only then try Magisk.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] H0wdy:
Ok, so which slot should I install magisk in?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig.s:
Don't worry about it, just try flashing it whatever the current active slot is. That worked for me.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] H0wdy:
I tried default and the other slot, same result :(

So, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this. A while ago i followed this guide so i could get root on android 9.0. Everything worked ok for a while, however as of a few days ago something seems to have tripped SateyNet. i havent installed any magisk modules and have basically no root apps. to the best of my knowledge something just tripped it and i am unsure what. Anyways, is there any way to get safteynet to un-trip itself or do i have to re flash my phone again.

Hey guys, I'm a newbie here. I'd like to have some questions. Does anyone have the problem with extracting Factory image zip file? specifically image-....zip. It keeps saying that: "C:\...\image-marlin-ppr1.180610.009.zip: Checksum error in system.img. The file is corrupt" and "\image-marlin-ppr1.180610.009.zip: The archive is corrupt."

Atm, I still can't find a solution to extract this image zip file. Pls help me.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Try Magisk-v17-1.zip
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
You may have downloaded a bad factory image. Dowload it again and check the sha256. Then use a file explorer to extract it. Use ZArchiver to extract the image.zip
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] H0wdy:
Hi all,

Homeboy76, thanks for your help thus far.

I waited for Magisk 17.1.

I then did flash-all.sh without the -w.

I then booted twrp, flashed magisk, and the same problem with the G logo staying there and eventually rebooting :/ Google logo is there, horizontal scroll bar goes and goes, until eventual reboot.

After flash-all.sh, I then installed twrp via adb sideload, then did adb sideload for magisk. Everything looks to be OK, but same issue in the end. It reboots to recovery, in this case, TWRP.

Once I boot into TWRP, it asks for password, so I hit cancel, then go to adb sideload.

Pixel XL. Android Pie. No custom kernel. Only way to get my phone working again is to flash stock boot.img or the entire marlin stock firmware.

[MENTION=4244154]H0wdy[/MENTION]

Try new twrp-3.2.3-1 img/zip it fixed the decryption problem.

Set pin, install twrp, flash the magisk uninstaller before flashing magisk.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ngocanh3996:
Thank you so much mate. I have downloaded it again, and then everything work perfectly. :laugh:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coolhandz:
Ok. So I'm having the same issue as mentioned previously. I installed factory image, set pin (that's it), installed Benzorom (9/02), and flashed TWRP 3.2.3-1. Everything boots fine. Go to install Magisk 17.1 and it hangs up and reboots back into TWRP. I flash Magisk Uninstaller and it boots fine. Any ideas on how to get Magisk 17.1 to work?

Edit: Tried Magisk 17.0. no dice. same deal

Edit 2: Extracted boot.img from factory image and flashed to both slots. Installed 17.1 and still getting same boot-back-into-twrp. i am at a loss. One thing i noticed is that Play Store says device is uncertified even after a clean wipe, factory reset, and uninstalling Magisk

Edit 3: I tried installing Magisk Manager to install 17.1 from there and I notice that ctsProfile is False for whatever reason
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
After, you flashed the boot image to both slots did you flash the magisk uninstaller, then flash magisk?

If you're trying to install magisk with Benzo, I suggest you search the Benzo thread for solutions to the problem.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BluPhant:
This is more of a TWRP question, but this guide was great, and helped out a lot.

I updated my Marlin to Pie over the weekend, wiped clean. Rooted with Magisk and installed TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-1-marlin). All went well, except after I put my pin code in - now TWRP won't accept the pin (indicates that it's wrong). Turning the pin does allow TWRP to function, but it's not a viable solution as other apps (Google pay) appear to note the removal of the pin & stop working.

Not sure what I could have done wrong here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Try this it will not erase your data

a. boot twrp

b flash Magisk uninstaller

c. reboot system

d. remove the pin

(Settings > Security & location > Screen lock > enter current pin > none

e. boot bootloader

f. flash the boot.img for PIe to both slots:

(fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img)

g. reboot system

h. set pin/finger print

i. reboot system

j. boot bootloader

k. Boot twrp

(Did it accept your pin?)

l. install twrp

m. reboot recovery

n.install magisk.zip
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BluPhant:
I'll give this a go tonight. Presumably I'd have to move the "remove pin" to the beginning, b/c I can't flash anything in TWRP w/ PIN tho, no? Thanks again for maintaining this guide/thread; appreciated.

It does not apply for him, he already unlocked the bootloader.

Hey guys followed the steps have a verizon pixel xl on latest android 9.0 using magisk 17.1 and twrp 3.2.3.1. I've tried manual flashing both boot slots with the patched imaged in magisk manager, ive also just tried flashing the zip within twrp to no avail results in a bootloop back to recovery. Ive even lost all my data and did a full wipe and install the full stock image of android 9 from google and still end in this bootloop to recovery. Do you know what am I doing wrong?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Fxception:
Okay so, If my bootloader is unlocked already, and I just want to Android 9 with Root and without TWRP, I do steps in Index 4, 5, 6, 7? Not sure what 5, 6 are supposed to do, I'm not familiar with it. I know 5 just transfers files over to the phone if I'm reading that correctly.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
No, you do index 4 'keep data' and 8.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
You did #4 'Keep data' and #7 that should not have happened. I can only suggest doing #4 'keep data' and # 7 again. Make sure you flash the Magisk uninstaller (#7L) before installing Magisk.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Fxception:
I can do index 4 wipe for fresh?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Fxception:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Do #4 'keep data' and #7 (if you want to install twrp-3.2.3-1) or #8 (if you do not want to install twrp-3.2.3-1)

When, doing #7 or #8 after installing twrp or booting twrp flash magisk uninstaller.zip, then flash Magisk-v17-1.zip and reboot system.

i'm running into a weird issue. i did a data wipe and flashed the september update to both slots. i booted twrp-3.2.3-0 and flashed magisk 17.1. everything seemed to work fine. my apps that needed root access got it. when i did a reboot, my phone showed the google logo for a while and then went to the stock recovery. i tried several times to get the phone to boot into the os, but it kept going to recovery. i reflashed the september update again but didn't root and everything is ok, but i'd like to get root working again. has anyone else had this problem? any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Why are you using twrp-3.2.3-0?

Use twrp-3.2.3-1.

Do #4 'keep data' then do #7 ( when twrp is installed: Flash Magisk Uninstaller.zip, Reboot recovery, Flash Magisk-v17-1.zip, Reboot System.

Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Snowpuppy:
Honestly unsure what the exact command is as the post hyperlink doesn't work, but I remember there being an "uninstall user com.android 0" command or something like that. Anyways, all methods have failed so far. I haven't done a factory reset yet as I believe there's like a... 5% chance that'll be the problem in my mind. The data on the phone doesn't seem to be the problem, but rather something not liking the Magisk bootfile.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
The unlock method that most are using is here:

[How-to] Unlock bootloader on Verizon Pixel/XL by burduli

There is nothing like that in that thread.

I would suggest locking your bootloader ([Guide] Pixel XL Android 9.0.0 (Pie) Unlock/Lock Bootloader + Install Stock Images/Custom kernels/TWRP Recovery/Systemless ROOT + September 2018 Security Patch - #3 B and C ) and using the method above to unlock it. However, some have bricked their phone by locking the bootloader incorrectly. Further, I don't know if the method you used to unlock your first generation Pixel XL would allow you to do it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] teegale:
I'm having a hell of a time getting this to work. All I want is TWRP and Magisk. Bootloader is unlocked. Adb is showing my device. When I download TWRP it comes in a zip and I extract it which leaves me with some random file extension. Tried renaming it to twrp.img and still doesn't push. Any help? I'm in the power/volume down menu when trying to push TWRP.

Do I just rename the zip to .img and flash the whole thing?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Don't extract it.

Don't rename it.

No!

You have to scroll down to see/download the twrp img file.

i used twrp 3.2.3-1 and the latest platform tools from google to flash magisk 17.1. twrp was able to decrypt, even with a pin set and my phone survived a reboot. thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] H0wdy:
I followed all of your instructions.

I can now decrypt in TWRP, which is good.

I then did adb sideload for uninstaller and magisk.

Same result, eventually boots back into TWRP.

I then installed zip uninstaller, and it boots normally. I then rebooted to TWRP and installed magisk 17.1 from zip, and the same result... it can't boot.

At least I know uninstaller works without having to deal with boot.img.

End result, no root :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
[MENTION=4244154]H0wdy[/MENTION]

Ok!

Try fastbooting boot.img to both slots (Do #6B), boot twrp, install twrp.zip (if you want to install twrp), install Magisk's uninstaller.zip, then install Magisk-v17-1.zip.

Did it work? Are you Rooted?

I finally updated to 9.0 this morning. Used this guide and have been following it since it was made by Homeboy76 (Very much appreciated btw) Wonderful well done guide! SO far I'm having no issues whatsoever.... Firstly, Pixel Xl, Verizon, Unlocked Bootloader, Came from 8.1.0 (OPM4.171019.021.P1) and installed the factory image (w/o the -w) with the flash-all script in adb/fastboot. Already had Twrp 3.2.3-1 and magisk 17.1. I did not run the magisk uninstaller and fastbooted twrp and then installed as normal. Rebooted, stuck at google symbol. Rebooted again phone booted up just fine, no root of course but rebooted recovery twrp is intact and decrypting, installed magisk 17.1 via twrp, reboot SUCESS!!!!

Oh and i did not use the verizon api image from google. Just used the non telus version. Easy peasy! Very much thankful for this community! You all rock!

I have seriously owned this device 2 days and am not a complete noob. just got excited and screwed it somewhere ... hope anyone can help

When you say 'tried the build.prop edit to bypass', are you referring to adding 'net.tethering.noprovisioning=true' to the build.prop file? Was it the same procedure that was described in this post: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/root-guide-native-hotspot-t3493286 ?

I upgraded to Android 9 Pie this morning and lost tethering, so I just wanted to check if you have verified that this works on Pie before going through the procedure again. Thank you!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xallen25:
Hey. Just saw this, and am on a Google pixel with pie, and have no problem tethering, as I discovered a homerun of a fix, provided you have root.

Just download VPN hotspot (by mygod), VPN tether (by jarvanh) and a VPN (I use the one with the bears in the tunnel). Turn the VPN on, then enter VPN hotspot. Toggle hotspot IN THE APP ONLY, return and enable the wlan0 option that will appear after hotspot engages. Then, open VPN tether, toggle on, and Viola! Endless hotspot. It will be viewable on your data usage only under the app title of your VPN, and thus as unlimited as any other usage.

As with all things, however, there's a drawback, which is excessive battery drain. But it definitely works and can be done, for free, and without a build prop tweak, as I haven't bothered working it in anymore, because I am positive it doesn't matter. But, if you wanted to stick with the prop tweak, add it to your /default.prop as well as /system/build.prop and then in a terminal (as root) enter "setprop net.tethering.noprovisioning true"

Which can be verified with the command "getprop net.tethering.noprovisioning".

Hopefully you enjoy.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] deadelmo:
Hi all,

So i've had the Honor 9 Lite for a short while, and I love it. Major upgrade from CM Nexus 5.

I don't want to root my device, and so I've managed to have the phone the way i want it....almost.

I use Google Music, and on my Nexus 5, I had the widget on my lock screen, rather than the full screen album art. And i loved it. I could see my wallpaper, and just use the widget for music control.

however with the honor 9 lite, when I disable the album art, it still shows a full Google Music lock screen, just literally with no album art.

Is there any way to change this to the widget? again, I dont want to root my phone, and I've tried looking for other lock screen options/apps, but maybe i've missed it.
