[Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers] maxyolo:
No matter what I do in Developer options,

Redmi 8 is always connecting in File Transfer mode.

The phone itself very inconvenient, everything is very glitchy - can't disable battery alert messages, everything distracting from work. When you launch 2 applications in screen split mode - youtube video plays music and screen goes dark (black video instead of playing video).

There are Redmi 5 next to me - it works perfectly and never has such problems. But on redmi 8 - is very stupid MIUI - no matter how hard I try to setup Default USB action in USB developer mode - which is already too far to go for a setting - USB TETHERING IS NOT TURNING ON WHEN I PLUG THE CABLE! I always have to go to menu to enable USB tethering. But at least it works.

So much errors in MIUI you should fire all the developers who did this operating system.

Read Section 9.A.3. Need to switch your Magisk Manager over to Canary in order to install Magisk 17.4. Stable channel is v17.2 which is what is causing you to see that error.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Thanks. I tried that method. I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be that I am not typing "fastboot reboot" at the end of the flash? I normally just press start.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bamemanxxa3416:
Verify the URL you typed in settings for Canary setup, a typo could have that result maybe. I followed the same instructions and it went right through

I rooted fine this morning, but am getting a "couldn't install a system update" error message. I know otas won't work on a rooted phone, but I do not see any factory images for a new patch or any discussion of a new ota. Anyone not rooted get an update?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] seagypsy59:
It happened to me right after unlocking the bootloader. I let it update because I was curious. I have a Verizon sim in the unlocked variant. It updated the build number to the Verizon version. I pulled the sim, flashed back to Google factory image. Rooted the phone, got some things set up, put the Sim back in, update failed. Screw Verizon!

It has the nerve to tell me that "image-crosshatch-pd1a.180720.030.zip" could not be found in the directory despite it being right there.

This is a common trend for me trying to execute this.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

and then when i do get it to recognize the image.zip file

I get this result instead

Update:

So I updated my platform tools and it's working now.

Now to try to root again :|

Final Update:

Updated my entire ADB setup despite it being setup in July, ran the factory image flash-all file, wiped everything, rerooted and i'm back up and running successfully.

Something was missing from my ADB\platform tools setup that the pixels depend on.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sehej:
Flashing Magisk gives me a boot loop to the Google logo too. Tried multiple ways - patched file, with and without installing TWRP, installing Magisk 17.3. Still no go.

Tried your method as well. When I select just System in Mount and deselect Data and Metadata, and keep Mount System read-only, I can't access any files (zip) or otherwise in the Install tab. I have to keep data checked on to access. Tried installing this way as well. Still a boot loop to the Google logo.

Temporarily flashing TWRP and running the Magisk uninstaller always fixes it and lets me boot.

Any help on how I can get Magisk to install? Running a pixel 3 xl with the Dec update btw.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
You need magisk 17.4 or later 18.0 is out now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sehej:

Hi guys, just thought to ask. I've successfully rooted with Magisk thanks to this guide and been using my device for a few days. I was thinking to flash ElementalX kernel to the device. Would it be possible or I will have the stock boot.img in, and follow the steps outlined to install Magisk with ElementalX?

Thanks everyone!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogoffm:
Is there also a tutorial to unroot and going cpmpletely back to stock... like out of the box?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Yes

- fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot all

- Follow the steps outlined to install Magisk with ElementalX
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Yes, 3B
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rebel7022:
So do I add the "A" or "B" or just keep it "--"
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
No, just do:

- fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot all (Will flash to both slots)

- Do #7 or #8 'With Custom Kernel - ElementalX'

HELP, I LOCKED THE bootloader now device won't restart. And I can't flash factory image. Everything locked. I should of wiped device first

Now what
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
If you didn't return to full stock non rooted before you locked the bootloader....you may be hosed! Can you unlock it again? Worth a shot at least.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rebel7022:
No, I can't unlock it. It's locked down.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
If you didn't do #3B before you did #3C [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] is probably right. Did you disable OEM unlocking?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Hate to say it, but sounds like you've got a BRICK HOUSE! Sorry man. Unless you can unlock the bootloader, in order to fastboot the factory image, I'm afraid there's not much you can do ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rebel7022:
Lol. A brick House.. LMAO. That's hilarious.

I was actually trying to restore the phone back to stock so I can send it back cuz I got my replacement so I just put it back in the box and shipped it out. My pixel 3 XL is sitting right here next to me working so it's whatever I'm sure they can fix it at the factory. Good lesson to learn though. Better make sure you uninstall magsik and do a factory data restart before locking bootloader. the pixel phones been a nightmare the first one had heat issues the second one had heat issues and I was tripping, I was like you better give me a phone that does not have heat issues, so my third one runs great. If anybody's phone is restarting with her charging, that's a phone is not working properly and needs to be replaced. My phone stays around 30 Celsius to 35 c &40 when it's charging

Pixel 3 xl rooting quesrion

So there's currently 2 methods for achieving root for crosshatch.

A) to flash a prepatched boot.img and then magisk installer

B) to dl TWRP. Img and boot into recovery temporarily and flash magisk installer... And TWRP installer if you want recovery permanently.

So if I choose to root with method B I don't need to first flash the prepatched boot.img for Dec right?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ketawa:
I did method B, have never flashed a prepatched boot.img.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
That would be #7 or #8 in this guide :)

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Everything seems to be in order. If your bootloader is unlocked and the December factory image is loaded.

- place all these in the Platform-tools folder:

• twrp.img

• boot.img (#6)

- open a command prompt in the Platform-tools folder (#1)

- fastboot flash boot -- slot all boot.img (#6)

- fastboot boot twrp.img

- install Magisk' uninstaller.zip

- install Magisk-18.0.zip

- reboot system

Did you try using another computer?

Did you try using another usb cord?

Go to topjohnwu/Magisk download Magisk-17.3.zip and install it.

- Do #4 'keep data'

- fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-3.img (#8 E,F,and G)

- install Magisk-uninstaller.zip (via twrp)

- install Magisk-17.3.zip (via twrp)

If this doesn't work, maybe 'factory reset' phone or RMA.

Hello Sir,

Did the guru - topjohnwu update his Magisk to 18.0 to let it get along better with AK2 kernels ? ? ?

( hope this helps )
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
Curious

Did you read the 9 post before your post?

How would this help?

Post your question on this thread Magisk General Support / Discussion by topjohnwu
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
I just want to verify. You did not flash TWRP to the phone, just booted into it via fastboot - correct?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] old_fart:
I see your point. . I am the dummy.

I did read there were two 18.0 released into the wild . . One before the patch / fix and one 'with' the patch / fix . . I read this in the kernel thread, a week back or so. . The other thread stressed to re-download the new magisk if you had it or you could be keeping the problem when you thought you were getting the solution . . That would be a groaner and a half. . I don't think I saw the gotcha mentioned in this later thread. ( trying to help )
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
This is true. There was a silent update to v18 to correct some AK2 inconsistencies which could cause a boot loop in a/b devices. The fix requires a clean boot image, flashed to both slots to start with.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
No disrespect intended, I appreciate the help.

I too read about the fix for the AK2 inconsistencies and the update of some Custom Kernels and Magisk-18.0.zip to fix it. I believe the AK2 problem involved flashing Custom Kernels and Kernel Managers (EXKM/FK).

I believe the discussion was on "Kirisakura 1.8.9 for Pixel 3/XL aka Bluecross by Freak" thread.

The advice I gave was based on three things.

- He did not indicate he had flashed a Custom ROM or Custom Kernel

- I wanted to rule out problems with twrp.zip

- I wanted to rule problems with Magisk-18.0.zip.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
You're correct on all counts. I just wanted to confirm that there was a silent update. My mentioning AK2 should be a big hint that custom kernels are involved. Your advice is spot on for this situation.

Hello, sorry if I bother. I just got a Google Pixel 3 XL from somebody who tried to root it. Now it's stucked on fastboot mode. I read things about how to unroot, but I'm not so good at this. I mention that if I try to get into recovery mode, the phone turns off. May you help me to make his phone work again? Thank you and a happy new year!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] v12xke:
Can you send a screenshot of the bootloader screen? You probably could just flash a factory Google image to restore. There are step by step instructions in the OP.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
I agree with [MENTION=3273292]v12xke[/MENTION]

As long as you can get fastboot to work I'd just flash a new factory image. There's instructions for how to do that on the factory image download page, as well as here in the OP.

I would leave the -w alone and completely wipe the phone. (In other words just follow the instructions on the factory image page). I would not relock the bootloader unless you don't plan to ever root and just run totally stock.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] v12xke:
I did not see where the unlock fails on your screenshot. If you cannot unlock the bootloader, then you can only use adb from recovery mode to sideload an OTA. Look for videos on YouTube on how to get into recovery to make sure you are doing it correctly. If you are positive you cannot get into recovery, and your bootloader is locked, then there is nothing more that can be done. Focus on trying to get into recovery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] robertoancini51:

From OP:

Backup your data

Activate Developer Options: Tap Settings > System > About Phone > Tap Build Number until you see you're a Developer. Tap back > Developer Options. Enable OEM Unlock and, USB Debugging.

Boot fastboot mode

Connect the phone to the Computer with USB cord.

Open a Command Prompt on your computer and type

Code:

fastboot flashing unlock

and press enter.

This will erase all user data from the device!

This is second RMA so not sure what's going on.

Went ahead and did another RMA. I just booted twrp image and flashed Magisk with this new phone and root worked perfectly. Did everything the same as mentioned in this steps but this time i didn't put my Verizon SIM card or flash TWRP.

No, what I mean is that the command prompt is telling me that the twrp.img file isn't there when I'm 100% positive that it is and I'm in the correct directory.

It should be "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-crosshatch.img" or what ever version number you are using.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pside15:
According to the instructions in the OP it says to rename the file to twrp.img

Either way it should error since the file is definitely there,
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
- twrp-3.2.3-3.img rename twrp.img

- fastboot boot twrp.img

Open file explorer look at the file you renamed twrp.img

View attachment 4682416
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
Try flashing Magisk via TWRP. If that doesn't work try flashing the un-installer first.

If you want to just try to remove any possible remnants of the Manager you'd have to delete the following folders:

/data/app/com.topjohnwu.magisk-<random string>==

/data/data/com.topjohnwu.magisk

/data/user_de/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk

That should do it.
