Thank you mr [MENTION=4609886]sliding_billy[/MENTION]!

Sorry about the double post and about "patching twrp.img" i do silly thing.

I download the img om twrp, and do "fastboot flash boot twrp_patched.img" twrp_patched is generated from magisk manager. :D
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Sounds like you are working, and that is great. It also looks like you are using TWRP when you mean Magisk.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] deprito:
Hahaaa silly me!

btw, when twrp is not compatible yet.. Is it possible for reset to android 9, and install twrp also magisk.

And after that, i do ota update with this instructions?

Link : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation

Is it possible to have android 10 with twrp installed with that way?

Thankyou
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
No. No matter what you do, TWRP will be erased and wouldn't matter since it doesn't work in 10 on the old version. You will just have to wait for TWRP compatible with 10 to be released.

Aha. That was a bug. It was listed as fixed in today's canary update.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CSX321:
It's back! Netflix is showing again in the store for me, and yesterday it got updated on my P3.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Same here for the P3 and the P3XL. Showed up out of the blue on those two devices, which led me to wonder if it was something in the last couple of days canary Magisk since the other devices are on stable 20.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
I guess it had nothing to do with canary, since the two devices that didn't get updated day before yesterday got updated late last night. They are on stable 20. I am wondering and hoping that now the Play Store simply looks to make sure the device is certified in the store since these devices have nothing else in common.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CSX321:
Yeah, I think it was the first time the Netflix app was updated since my device was back to certified status, so that may be it.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fearphage:
My system app is saying my phone is up to date with only the January update (no OTA). Anyone experience this and know the fix? The official Magisk instructions worked previously (https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation), but now I can't even get to the place where I start following these instructions.

Wouldn't we expect it to work on both models?

Google has a history of making small software changes between the two models. For example, a root exploit that was found for the Verizon pixel 2 didn't work for the 2xl.

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] drocny87:
What did you use to flash it... Fastboot?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
I used these directions and followed method 2 and worked no problem.

https://www.the***********.com/install-magisk-root-android-devices/

If the site doesnt come up here are the directions

Method 2: Patch Stock Boot Image

First, you must grab the stock boot image for the current firmware installed on your device.

Place the boot image on the phone’s internal storage or SD card.

Download the Magisk Manager APK from above and install it on your device.

Open “Magisk Manager”.

Tap on the “Install” button and choose “Install” again.

Select “Patch Boot Image File”.

Navigate to the storage and select your phone’s boot image that you transferred earlier.

Let Magisk do the job and patch the boot image.

Once patched, copy the “patched_boot.img” file from /sdcard/MagiskManager/ to C:\adb on your PC.

In the same folder, hold the SHIFT key and right-click on an empty space.

Select “Open PowerShell window here”.

Boot your Android device into Bootloader/Fastboot mode.

Connect your phone to the PC.

Flash the “patched_boot.img” to install Magisk and root your Android device. Using this command

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

Once done, reboot your phone using:

fastboot reboot

That was fast!

Anybody able to root the Pixel 3? I was unable to do so using 6.0.1. I know that that 6.0.1 specifically was done for the Pixel 3 XL.

Basically, when I tried

fastboot boot patch_boot.img

It just hung.....

So, I tried to flash it being optimistic

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

It bricked and had to go reflash the official image.

Tried to flash the image and after issuing fastboot reboot I would get "error booting boot.img" in fastboot.

Saw this link as well, but believe this to be for Pixel 3 XL... can you confirm this worked on Pixel 3?

Edit: decided to try and boot without flashing and it worked. Flashed both slot a and b and now have magisk up and running. Download link works.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rvenkat:
Sorry, Magisk noob here...

Magisk Manager 6.0.1 (151) is stating it's on version 17.2. Isn't the Pixel3 version 17.3? How do I force that update? I've got it on Beta update channel.

I'm also hanging on the booting of the patched image...
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] aziz831:
The download link did not work for me. Phone wouldnt boot up afterwards.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheerfulcharlie:
This was my exact same experience. I meticulously followed this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/

Looked like I couldn't successfully boot the patched boot image. Computer just hung on the following step: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img.

I followed the foregoing steps again to create a new patched boot image. I know my downloaded boot.img was not corrupt because its hash signature matched the same boot.img file that I got when I unzipped factory boot image. Same result when I tried again to boot the patched_boot.img.

So, being optimistic, I flashed the patched_boot.img to both slots a&b and attempted to boot. Got the following error: "error booting boot.img"

I had to reflash back to stock to get my phone back. I also confirmed that I am using the latest version of the ADB/Fastboot tools on my Mac. Not sure what is going wrong.

Maybe to help troubleshoot, if someone has gotten this to work on their Pixel 3 (NOT Pixel 3XL), would you kindly post a download link to your patched_boot.img file?

I would be happy to report on my results using someone else's patched_boot.img file.

I would be grateful for any ideas?

i was struggling getting my own patched boot image to boot up. i downloaded the linked one and magisk is up and running!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CSX321:
I don't know. I used the patched_boot.img file that was linked in the XL post, and it worked fine on my 3 non-XL. I did name it just boot.img before I flashed it, but that really shouldn't make any difference. I flashed it to boot_a and boot_b, and when I rebooted, I was rooted and Magisk Manager reported everything was good.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheerfulcharlie:
OMG! OMG! OMG! That worked. I definitely have a Pixel 3 (NOT the XL).

Based on your experience, I downloaded the patched boot.img for the Pixel 3XL from that earlier referenced thread. I was able to fastboot boot from it. (i.e. test boot)

Then, I fastboot flashed that 3XL patched boot.img to both slots. And it worked! I've got root! That did the trick.

So, for those Pixel 3 owners, don't bother with trying to create your own patched boot.img file. Just download the one that is already created for the Pixel 3XL and flash that one to your little Pixel 3. It works!

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] robocuff:
If this ever happens again, all you need to do is flash the factory boot image. No need to flash the complete system image. I had the same problem and flashing the factory boot.img got me up in running again in no time at all. ;)

How I did it too, used the patched boot linked, flashed normally without defining a slot. Booted after about 5 minutes with no root.

Flashing both slots fixed it. Booted fine with root.

I was a little nervous to use the 3xl patched boot, but apparently it's fine.

So, quick refresher. I'm on the small Pixel 3XL (that is, build PD1A.180720.030). I am now successfully rooted using Magisk by flashing the 3XL patched boot.img earlier linked in this thread .

Magisk Manager says my installed version of Magisk is 17.3.

Magisk Manager is now saying that a new version of Magisk is available now v.17.3 (17302).

I'm guessing that I should NOT install this new version and wait for more news here?

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CSX321:
I don't have a lot of experience with VIPER (did have it on my Nexus 5 at one point), but is it needed with the P3? I've found the audio through my headphones to be fantastic, an order of magnitude better than and twice as loud as my N5 was with these same headphones.

I think Edge Sense Plus is available for the P3 already, but I haven't tried it.

You can hide Magisk again but it just won't survive the reboot for some reason. Maybe a future stable version will fix it

Yeah it has been that way. Once you unlock the bootloader, you fail safety net. You'll need magisk to fix that. I used the P3 XL magisk boot file that was listed on here and it worked perfectly. Then I updated it through magisk manager to 17.3 and everything works perfectly.

flashing magisk using fastboot, will this keep the possibility to run monthly updates? Because recovery is still stock.

How are you going to flash magisk with fastboot. You can't do that.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
He means the patched boot image which gives us root with magisk.

I think it's a good question because I've always thought updates were only blocked if you had a third party recovery installed.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
Ok, of course you need to flash the boot image with fastboot. It's pretty common not to flash a custom recovery when using magisk. And once the modified boot image is detected, or recovery and maybe other partitions, the ota will fail.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elkay:
Magisk worked for me, however I had to toggle off/on Hide to get it to work initially. I have also noticed that about once a day, the phone "loses" Hide and I have to reboot for apps to stop seeing root again.

Taking OTAs

So, when the next OTA comes out, if I understand the procedure correctly, I will do the following steps (assuming I have no custom recovery installed):

1) Flash the stock boot.img to undo root

2) Reboot

3) Take the OTA

4) After the OTA successfully takes, I go back to the bootloader and flash the correct patched_boot.img

5) Reinstall MM

5) Then, I enjoy root!

Correct? Yes?

You don't need to unroot. Every thing is good.

If the rooted boot images here are kept up to date then it is as simple as downloading the images directly from Google and flashing them, then flash the boot image from here over it. No need to unroot and take an OTA.

That's from magisk beta 17.3 (17302)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidBob:
I successfully rooted my Pixel3 using this method (as described https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk) a couple of days ago, but noticed today I no longer had root. I figured maybe it was because my phone rebooted and I didn't flash both a and b partitions. So, I reflashed the patched-boot image into both boot_a and boot_b and got root working again, only to see it just disappear after a few minutes of playing with it. MagiskManager said Magisk is not installed - when only a few moments ago, it reported it was installed and I was successfully using root.

MagiskManager also now has started asking me to upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. I don't think it was doing that before...

Any idea what's going on?

Edit: I reinstalled magiskmanager and now it says Magisk is installed - hopefully it stays that way.

Edit: nope- went away again...? Seems to happen whenever I select HideMagiskManager from the settings- ...???

thanks
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] teapea:
This kinda happened to me too. Magisk 17.3 beta, flashed to a and b.

All fine, then I went to HideMagiskManager essentially I lost root. A reboot then brought up 2 Magisk Manager apps in my apps drawer, the original one and the new "hidden" one. I manually deleted the original one, but the new one was also saying it wasn't installed.

A reboot later and it's all sorted itself out, hidden Magisk app and fully installed and working, full SafteyNet and totally hidden so I have root but can still run PoGo etc.

EDIT: And now just like you, I've lost it for no reason! hmmm very odd!
