In for updates. Patiently awaiting Magisk Root.

I saw on Twitter today that he got it rooted. However I don't see any update that has been pushed to the available Magisk downloads yet.

I just want to get Google Pay working, as I unlocked my bootloader in the event I want to run a custom ROM or kennel in the future.

Magisk NooB question.. Do we still need TWRP installed on our device to root? If we do, won't we have to wait for that update for the Pixel3 also?

Thanks in advance

How to Unlock the Bootloader and Root the Google Pixel 3 with Magisk by Mishaal Rahman - October 20, 2018 11:26pm
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rain__:
This will work with the Verizon factory image too, right? I bought the unlocked version (non-Verizon) and unlocked the bootloader but the phone went ahead and grabbed PD1A.180720.031 as a software update (which enabled Wi-Fi calling, I think) after I threw my Verizon SIM in.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ilarson007:
I would think as long as you unlocked your bootloader you should be good.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cambunch:
I manually pulled the boot.img from the PD1A.180720.031 factory image and patched it. It rooted just fine but is showing as PD1A.180720.030 and has a system update pending that is failing to install.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yearn2burn:
Is it because you booted to the wrong slot?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
No, .31 is Verizon, .30 is everyone else.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohmbd:
Can't get it to work for me. I can't even get 17.3 to install on my 2 XL through the app. Switched to the canary channel and now I have 17.4 etc installed on the 3 XL.....Seems ok so far. I just don't know why I can't get 17.3 to work on either device....Don't know if it matters but my device (Google store version) pulled a system update and I think updated itself to the Verizon version when I first put in my sim.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] .\\D-ZFR:
Hi,sorry. Can you do mea favor? I need stock pixel 3 xl build.prop. can u send me a copy since u're using one. Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KuddaN:
Did you root first and then put your sim card in? Or did you load your sim 1st and then try to root?

I'm asking because I bought an unlocked phone from Google, got it Friday and immediately unlocked the bootloader but then sat on doing anything with it until I was able to root the phone. I rooted it last night and everything seemed good until I installed my Verizon sim card and now I have a system update pending install that keeps failing and the notification will not go away unless I block my system update notifications...

Not sure I should just do that and move along or if I really need that update for some reason. Anyone have input here?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohmbd:
SIM first for a couple days then root....my phone has the software version with 31 at end vice 30.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yearn2burn:
Sorry, can't share without root first
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
Does anyone know where the bootanimation.zip is located since there is no system/media folder?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BostonDan:
No root love here. I tried following the instructions at

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/ but the bootloader won't boot with the magisk patched image and just stays at the bootloader until I flash the factory boot. Ugh. Frustration!

EDIT: Got it working with Topjohnwu's Canary channel for Magisk. All's good here!

Cheers,

B.D.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
No issues here. What exactly did you do?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohmbd:
Same thing happened to me.....I cant even get 17.3 to install on my 2 XL.....Every time I try it just boots back up with 17.2 still installed.

Canary FTW....I'll most likely stay on this version until a 17.3 update is released or a beta 17.4. I'm not going to mess with a good thing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ilarson007:
I bought mine from Google directly and am also on Verizon. I downloaded the non-Verizon image to patch the boot image. I too got a notification for pending system update that failed, but now it says my system is up to date.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KuddaN:
Did you update your magisk version at all? I'm still on 17.3. did not update to the 17.4 in custom channel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] .\\D-ZFR:
I guess u can use adb command "adb pull /system/build.prop"
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ilarson007:
No, I patched it with 17.3.

One time it failed because the patched image was about half the size it should be. It should be about 30MB when you're done patching it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mattj949:
I too had to use the Canary channel to get it to work (17.4). I'm on the Non-Verizon version on Verizon. Installed Build is 180720.031

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cambunch:
I'm still trying to figure this out too. Odd that you are getting a notification as mine is failing but not notifying me at all. The difference is that I installed the Verizon OTA, then rooted. Once rooted I noticed the build reverted to 30 and it wants me to update, but doesn't nag me about it.

Try flashing the stock boot image, installing the OTA, then rooting?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ilarson007:
I don't know if my phone ever updated to .031, but right after I rooted, it said I needed an update. I don't honestly remember what I did (rebooted?), But now:

I also have working wifi calling:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohmbd:
Probably using 17.3.....you probably need to reflash the stock boot image and set your original slot active

fastboot set_active slot_a or b .......I think
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
In fastboot I typed 'fastboot set_active slot_a '

It says 'Slot slot-a does not exist. supported slots are:

a

b

Ok did both of those. Said on both

Sending 'boot_a' OKAY

Writing 'boot_a; OKAY

And the same for b

So looks good so far.

After doing the above, I type 'fastboot reboot', I hear the jingle sound like it's restarting, but nothing happens, still on the same screen

Same was happening to me earlier today. You need to flash stock boot.img. I had to patch the boot.img with canary channel. Set update channel to custom then type the following.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/canary.json

Make sure check for update option is disabled. Close Magisk and open it again. You should be able to install v17.4 now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
Ok, so after all this, and seeing the two green check marks in Magisk, I go to install Substratum theme engine, it says I am not rooted. I also installed the app Root Checker, it says this phone is not rooted
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ginfest:
Hi all,

I need help please. I have rooted my Nexus and Pixel2 so I'm used to the process.

Patched boot.img with 17.4, patched image is approx 30M.

Fastboot flashed it it went to slot a. Phone went into a bootloop, it starts, gets to the Google logo then reboots. A couple tries then eventually back to the boot loader. Flash stock image it boots normal.

I'm on .30 Google unlocked phone.

What am I missing?

Note that earlier I patched with 17.2, flashed and didn't even get to the G, it just keet rebooting to the boot loader until I flashed back to stock.

Yes phone is unlocked :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
Rebooted the phone, and then it seems I have root now :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohmbd:
I've found with 17.4 canary I say yes to allow root and the app requesting says root denied....I reopen the app and it's good to go.

Maybe one of you nice gents can help me.

After uninstalling Magisk and trying to reinstall following the methods above, the app just hangs for forever and its only after one or three closes that i can get it to open , and it says Magisk isnt installed. What exactly have I done wrong ? When it finally opens I'm just sitting here with this screen. Any pointers in the right direction for me? I know im still rooted because games I have on my device like Fate Grand/Order don't play nice and wont open. No module screen or anything. Pretty confused over here and what my options are. Posted a screenshot below to show what I'm stuck on.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yearn2burn:
For those wanting a concise fix to the OP, here it is:

Follow the linked instructions in OP but:

When you setup Magisk Manager, don't set the update channel to beta. Select custom and paste this address in it: https://bit.ly/2N8UVlq

That's the famous Canary channel.

When you continue with the OP instructions, you'll notice that you'll be patching the boot images with Magisk 17.4. That's The key!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
Just for my own concerns, how do I update from the current beta 17.3 to 17.4 ?

I'm on the patched 17.3 and it works great, no issues. I suppose no reason to update now anyways ? Just wait until a note stable version for our 3 XLs ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yearn2burn:
Look one post up. You upgrade only through Magisk Manager using the correct update channel to patch boot.img

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozhog54:
I bought a Fire TV 3 4k in the UK earlier this year and brought it to Australia.

Until last week it had worked perfectly.

Now however it boots to the Fire TV logo, but after 10-15 seconds it seems to stop working and I get a "No Signal" message on my screen. I have left it for an hour and still nothing. I have spoken to Amazon support at the Aust. site, they told me I had to ring Amazon UK, I think I ended up in the same room in Mumbai, they were basically unhelpful.

I have tried other USB cables, long and short, powered and unpowered, I have pressed all sorts of button combinations as suggested on this and other sites. I have also tried it on 2 different TVs using all available HDMI ports.

Nothing seems to work. The Aussie "tech" even tried to tell me it was because it was a UK unit, so why did it work perfectly for 8 months?

I think I've tried all options to get it working, is the next step the garbage?

I was able to setup wifi calling on att, but is set to mobile preferred, anyway to change this? At least on phone app settings I cannot change it to wifi calling preferred.

I just set mine up, and can't find the option either. I just googled this problem and it appears the same thing happened on the Pixel 2.

I tried it just now, and it seems to be working.

I was wondering if wifi calling would work with at&t. If I remember right hd calling worked with the p2 with the right sim and getting it provisioned on your line but wifi calling didn't work. That only worked on phones from at&t. There were a couple places that I needed wifi calling and it came in handy. One was in a couple places at work with bad cell service and another was in a friend's home in the mountains of PA. wifi but no cell towers around. If wifi calling works at all I'll be glad.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
So nothing happens when you tap Wi-Fi calling then. Bummer

Edit: we'll have to wait for custom ROMs
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
Yeah I'm surprised also. I always missed wifi calling on my Pixel 2 XL. I definitely works on my Pixel 3 xl on AT&T, you just can't set wifi calling to preferred.

Wifi calling does work, I tried a test call and it worked fine. I'm glad, because I live in an area where the cell signal is very weak.

That's great that it works. I would only need it when cell is unavailable. I sold my p2xl and had an s9+ for a while. That was a mistake. It was a good phone but I need my pixel back. Thanks for the info.

Guys!! This is a huge win for pixels and non at&t branded phone lovers!!! Never before in the history of at&t and Android has VoWiFi worked on non at&t branded phones.. I couldn't believe my stroke of good luck when I tested it today!! Thank you thank you Google. I had switched to TMobile because of this and carried at&t as secondary to fill in the gaps.. but i may just switch back.. so happy.. also, TMobile is the only American carrier that let's you prefer wifi calling over mobile.. so no dice there.. but hey, I'll take it.. and you can always enable airplane mode and force wifi calling.

Also, I tested tonight in a poor at&t coverage area and it seemed to switch between wifi and cellular calling just fine!!

I'm still using a Nexus 6p and have been frustrated with not being able to use VoLTE features and I pay the same price for my plan as those that have them. So just to be clear AT&T is now provisioning VoLTE on the Pixel 3? AT&T usually only does that on branded AT&T phones with the exception of the iPhones? So correct me if I am wrong but with VoLTE provisioned - wifi calling, HD calling, number sync, and call protect, should all work on Pixel 3? Even if it's just wifi calling I'm stoked to get the Pixel 3xl.

Wi-Fi and HD Voice for sure, I dont use the others, so I cant say yes or no.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmark75:

Thanks for the info. The iPhone is already provisioned for VoLTE so you were already good to go with that Sim. I'm guessing my non provisioned 6p sim will not work without a phone call. Just hoping they will actually provision it and not say they can't because it's not an AT&T phone or and iPhone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
I bet you that you'll have to make several calls until you get someone who can provision the sim correctly. I had to call 4 times when I had the Pixel 2 XL. They finally got it to work. Good luck
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
In my case, I was using a SIM from my Pixel 2 XL (which came from my Pixel XL before it), which when using phone info from dialer, was NOT provisioned for Wi-Fi calling. This SIM to my knowledge was never provisioned for Wi-Fi calling, but was however for HD Voice (which worked on Pixel 2 XL).

I did not call or do anything special, just popped SIM out of 2 XL and inserted into 3 XL and set up.

Those with the Pixel 3 with ATT WiFi working. Did you buy the Verizon version (usually available for sale at Best Buy, Target, or Verizon) or did you order it directly from the Google Store?

Just got my Unlocked Pixel 3 and moved my AT&T Galaxy S7 Sim over to it and never had to call or activate the phone over AT&T. It just worked. AT&T Wifi Calling activated just fine (I just wish we had the option to set the preferred mode to Wifi Calling like on the T-Mobile example that was posted...anyone know if this option exists on Verizon?). Advance LTE showed enabled out of the gate...no need to enable it. I don't have the Tethering option on my plan as I have the original AT&T Unlimited and it didn't include Tethering...but is also $70 cheaper than the other Unlimited plans. Everything seems to work. I was just surpised I didn't have to do anything to activate the phone.
