There is a thread in the magisk section with a module and instructions on how to make pay work with root

Hi,

Thank you works for me.

But I have problem with root partition, why I have only 752mb?

My partition is full, how to increase it?

Hello,

I am new to Magisk. I am following [MENTION=329570]malybru[/MENTION] "personal steps".

I am at step 7. Open Magisk Manager, click "Advanced" >> "Recovery Mode"

When I open Magisk, before opening the 'Advanced' tab, at the very top is says

Magisk is not installed

Magisk Manager is up to date.

Should I install them both prior to entering recovery mode?

Never mind... Apparently I skipped step 2. Install Magisk manager on my Pixel 4 XL

Also the option 'Preserve force encryption is checked. Leave it?

Thank-you in advance

So I have experienced some oddities since rooting and using magisk, it will say "Factory resetting data" upon manually adding a module, then the device will fail to boot, so I have to go to fastboot mode and reflash the magisk modified boot image.

Ah well, I got tethering working now. All good I guess for now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gloff:
When you say modules manually installed, do you mean from a source other than the Magisk Module repository/downloads? I had no issues installing busybox and propshide.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] malybru:
Yes , "Preserve force encryption " is already checked.

I left it checked.

2.Can google pay be used even pass safetynet check ? (What's the real practice when buying something and pay by google pay)

I had the same issue, until the boot image got corrupted and I was only able to recover the device with the factory images... Did u find a solution about this?

Hi guys, I've been out of the flashing scene for a while, can someone point me in the right direction to flash back to factory? I had an issue with a magisk xposed module while trying to get it up and running And now I'm in a boot loop.

How does one go back to stock without root and locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
Either flash the stock boot image to both slots or run the flash-all.xx with the -w flag removed. Either/or will give you a virgin boot image without root and with data in tact. edit: Only do this if you want to keep your bootloader unlocked.

edit: misread about the bootloader. If re-locking the bootloader, keep the -w flag in tact to insure that you are stock first.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eg1122:
Do that ^^ then....

To lock bootloader run this command in bootloader (fastboot)

fastboot flashing lock

This will wipe phone, so make sure you are completely stock before doing this or RIP.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
My mistake. I misread about the bootloader. In that case, to [MENTION=7344499]eg1[/MENTION]22's point about being stock, I revise my statement. Run the flash-all.xx WITH the -w flag enabled. Only then, lock the bootloader.

I am having the same problem as well; Every time I load a new module from the Magisk repository it flashes, re-boots and hangs on the G OOGLE screen with no change 20 minutes later. Holding the power+VOL down forces a reboot and than all is well.

The module seems to take, I have GPay working thanks to [MENTION=2449699]BostonDan[/MENTION] [MENTION=9317193]73sydney[/MENTION] & everyone else who made this happen, there is just the rebooting glitch after flashing.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Application updates != System updates.

unless google somehow updates the boot.img via the playstore, you're safe.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
there is another way to achieve....

go to /data/data/ and delete com.google.android.gms

restart and try adding the cards it should work - it did on my P3XL

otherwise if it didnt work for some reason

open SQL editor. Navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases

open dg.db change any value that lists "attest" in the name (first column) to 0 in the third column.

and then reboot

Personally, I don't worry about the warranty, but that's me. If you know how to use adb/fastboot, you can generally get yourself out of a jam, and get back to full stock OS, and relock the bootloader before returning it.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
It's actually a common complaint across many scenarios. Did you try hard boring by holding down the power button? Reboot from power instead of letting magisk do it? Try flashing the patched IMG file to both a and b slots? I would start with those first.

If I build android from source via https://source.android.com/setup/build/building and flash the build via the instructions at https://source.android.com/setup/build/running#flashing-a-device would gpay still work, or will it be like unlocking the bootloader and not work?

trying to install the november update on a unlocked pixel 4 xl with root from best buy. However, it fails about 75% of the way through the download. cant figure out why. I am use the uninstalling magisk route and it takes the november update but the download fails before I can go any further (as in install the magisk boot to the inactive slot after the update finishes). I have also tried the flashall.bat route after modifying the script to not wipe the device with no success. any ideas?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vanydotk:
That's odd, what kind of error do you get when you use the flashall.bat?

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

I'm not sure if this has been attempted or not, but is it possible to download the November update, pull boot.img, patch it with magisk, repack the patched boot.img then run flashall.bat (removing -w to retain data) to update. That way you don't have to disable any magisk modules.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
Try a different usb-a to usb-c cable and make sure you have the latest platform tools installed. If it fails right after getting through the radio then this fixed it for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shango22:
Honestly don't remember. However I fixed it. I gave up on the magisk method. Instead I decided I would do the flashall.bat method and ran into another problem.

I suspect I had a couple issues with my setup.

1. I had outdated adb/fastboot. I was running the minimal tool and it was outdated and began giving me the "...must be run in fastbootd" error which from my searching was do to outdated adb/fastboot and it wouldn't fix itself as I was using the tool. (If I said something wrong I apologize I don't do this as much as some of you I'm sure.)

2. I had messed with the inactive partition which I am guessing was why the OTA was failing(?) or a combo of other issues.

In the end I was able to fix it without having to erase everything which is my main thing I hate is wiping the device. I really only have root access to enable HBM(high brightness mode). Without root I'm able to do everything I want to do. only other reason I've rooted other devices was for fun.

DAMN THAT SCREEN AFTER THE UPDATE! WOW!

Funny you mentioned this as I tried it in this process. I think it does work, however it didn't work for me as I had the abd/fastboot issues. The main concern is will it pass the security checks if it does work. Honestly I think it was more work than I thought it would be. You have to change just the boot file and rename it to "boot.img" which I did by unzipping the files then zipping them back....by the time you do all the that you can just do "fastboot flash boot "img". However, for your instance it would be worth it. Seems it would be easy to fix if it didnt work.
