You have to change your device's fingerprint with a certified one, you can do that for example with the MagiskHide Props Config magisk module

What not being certified means is that the device doesn't pass the SafetyNet api check

does this rom have root out of the box. I flashed and didnt install magisk or anything but google Pay doesn't work.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BNTofu:
Pardon my ignorance, but is a full wipe from PD just clearing usercache or flashing latest factory stock then following OP's install direction?

Again wanting to go from PD to PDCAF.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nyolsson2:
flash the stock rom first
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] big in japan:
Can someone confirm that this is the correct order of operations to install Magisk (for G Pay, Netflix, etc.)? And does it need to be redone every time there's a PixelDust ROM update?

1) On phone: Install Magisk Manager

2) On desktop: Download Magisk patched boot image (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixeldustproject/files/ota/blueline/magisk_patched.img/download)

3) Boot into Fastboot mode and flash magisk_patched.img - "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img"

4) Reboot phone

Many thanks, want to be sure I avoid a bricking!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nyolsson2:
correct
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] big in japan:
Thank you! This worked perfectly. "CTSfailed" in Magisk which I fixed by following these instructions (which led here for details).

One last question: Does updating PD CAF usually kill Magisk? Or does it generally survive the update process?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nyolsson2:
anytime you flash a new rom, even if just a dirty flash of an updated version of rom, you will need to repeat steps for magisk/root
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] big in japan:
Makes sense. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] big in japan:
New problem! TLDR: Google Fi won't download the eSIM because it thinks my Pixel 3 is locked.

It's not, it's originally an unlocked Google Fi device, bought from fi.google.com when the P3 came out; the bootloader says that the device is unlocked. The error code it coughs up is E0x30003. I have Magisk installed and running to allow Google Pay tap-to-pay, and that seems to be fine. (Haven't been able to test it on a reader, but I'm able to access cards, etc.)

The only thing I noticed that was a bit unusual is that in Bootloader mode, the Boot Slot is B - probably because of the Magisk patched_boot.img?

Do I need to switch it to slot A and run the default boot image boot_caf_2020_2.img, set up Fi, and then run the Magisk patched_boot.img again?

Hi, just flashed latest version. Does anybody else have trouble with system gestures?? The "back" gesture is borked. The little arrow appears and everything, but it only works about 40% of the time. What gives?

Clean-flashed, no 3rd party kernel or anything, not even rooted.

Yeah, sorry about that. I can "pair" the phone with the car, everything works on the phone side, but as soon as the Auto screen begins to load on the car, it reverts to "no phone connected". The phone has the "driving" notification like it does when connected to Auto, but the car will not display anything. I've done a factory reset on the car's Android Auto as well as reinstalling the app and trying older versions.

I followed all steps, flashed boot images to both slots (A and B) and sideloaded both slots with rom but I keep getting stuck on pixeldust bootanimation. What am i doing wrong?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] luckana:
Vague description of what u did my friend.

1. Did you also flash magisk_patched in the same session ot flashing the ota. The rom needs to boot without root once otherwise it bootloops for me.

2. Did you start from latest factory image ?

3 Did you wipe data ?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bubbler4343:
I flashed factory image to both slots and did not flash magisk patched before the first boot. Upon first boot i get stuck on the boot animation. How can i wipe data without deleting any stored internal storage? To my phone. In my understanding, "fastboot erase userdata" deletes everything. Thank you for the reply.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kkjb:
fastboot erase userdata is the command. So was that the syntax? Installation Guide step 3.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bubbler4343:

Hi guys, how can I make a full backup of the entire device via fastboot, since twrp does not work on the 10th version of android, I can not make a backup in one click, how can I reinsure myself before installing? Thanks for the answer.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kkjb:
Short answer is.... No

Long answer is device to device transfer, or some say swift backup, now appears Google new files/app data/photos backup solution may work for a monthly fee
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbrise:
I meant what to do as a nandroid backup. How can you make a backup of all sections of the device?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kkjb:
There is no one easy answer, swift backup maybe your choice. Honestly read up on Android 10 because with no twrp it's not (in my mind) like 9. Since you are asking general questions, no easy answer with Android 10. A11 will be even worse so search engines are your answer.

Friends, hello again, after installing and configuring this ROM, I, as usual, optimize the system for myself, there are several questions to improve the operation of this ROM, will there be a version without gapps or with microG? Also, I constantly find an error in my log "LightsService: Light requested not available on this device. 2" - how to fix it?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] spezi77:
I'll try to see what I can do about the error log (it's harmless anyways).

You may compile the rom yourself w/o gapps. Our codebase has all microG commits.

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbrise:
Thanks for the answer bro, but for me this is an insurmountable obstacle, since I have never done anything like this, and from the provided assembly channel I do not understand anything at all. It will be cool if someone can make an assembly without gapps and share it with the public. Since it is unlikely that I alone will need an assembly without Google. Thanks for the help.:laugh:
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kkjb:
Currently 3 downloads (including me) have downloaded the latest build, last month cycle was 89. The numbers suggest a happy reception from current developer (one person!!) build out with Gapps. This is a PIXEL and for most of the users....a few Google apps are used, possibly like most if not all..... Some required Google apps are needed. MicroG for some reason it's userbase audience believes...unlike the developers it's a easy delete or one thing that gives build Gapps or Gapps less. It's not that easy. In fact as stated it would be from commits easer than most, which is more work but shows the skill and good build habits for PixelDust Developer Community.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbrise:
bro, I believe that there should always be a choice. And the fact that Google with the release of new versions of android makes it difficult to work with TWRP is obvious, despite the fact that we do not have a full-fledged TWRP, we still find a way out and change our device as we want. Of course, there are projects without gapps at all, but there is more usability in PD, so I don't want to leave it.:)

If you don't need to worry about safety net at all, I'd recommend flashing imo.

I'm definitely tempted. I wonder if props config would work in combination with Magisk like it does for this rom. I haven't spent the time to understand the ins and outs of Magisk's limitations and such when it come to android 11 yet. Having access to google pay has been nice, though, so not sure I'm ready to jump ship just yet.

Can't you just use magisk hide props config and set to pixel 3 a fingerprint. Been using Android 11 ROMs that passed safety net on my pixel 4a and that is always worked. Currently on lineage on Pixel 3 and used it and it worked as well to pass safety net

can you please help me? I'm trying to install magisk on PixelDust 11. I'm using latest version of ROM 20201111 that was released today. I've installed ROM without any problems, after first boot installed Magisk manager 8.0.2 and patched boot.img from the same download folder as ROM, boot.img date is 2020-11-04. After flashing patched image I'm getting bootlop, and image is different size from the original, that is not patched, about 29mb. I tried several times to patch it again but getting the same result. Did you use some other approach, or maybe different ROM, boot.img and Magisk manager combination worked for you? I didn't find where to get boot.img for patching other then download folder for 11 version.

Go into magisk manager and select install

Select patch a file

Select boot.img

There hasn't been much in the way of activity in months at first glance. To whomever is putting in the extra effort for developing the blueline tree, if there's a place to know what changes are being implemented to have an idea what to expect, that would be nice since I really want to contribute and provide useful feedback.

After some difficulty I finally managed to get through the whole installation and it said it loaded pixeldust rom but when I rebooted it's just plain android.

I use a very good stable, daily driver ROM. I haven't found a change log but you can notice the change :)! more and more settings are added with each update. please don't use the kirisakura 3.0 kernel for this ROM because after the next update, after decrypting, the data partition will be damaged for some reason and the phone will not load. It happened 2X to me so by the time I realized this !! Before installing the ROM, it is recommended to install the latest google factory image and a factory reset "fastboot reboot fastboot".

Thanks to the ROM maintainer for the excellent work!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PistolSlap:
Okay thanks. So I flashed both slots with the stock and installed the rom, but now all it's doing is infinite splash loading screen, the white boot screen with the flying coloured dots, that just happens indefinitely now.

Just reporting back after flashing Android 11. After finally being able to download the 11-18 build after 20+ attempts, I successfully flashed the build to my phone. I added Magisk without any issues, flashed build props, and my phone passed safety net with no issue - which means I pretty much have full use of my phone. The rom feels snappy and I haven't noticed any issues with it, yet. So, I feel pretty happy with the direction the build is going. While it's currently missing a few features I've grown to love (e.g. arrows while using keyboard, squeeze customization), I have no problem using it as my daily driver for now. I'm sure it's just a matter of time until those features are implemented in future builds. As a side note, I flashed the Elementalx kernel, just for fun, and noticed it broke WiFi so I reflashed the build which returned everything back to normal. Keep up the good work! It's nice to have access to Android 11 through a custom ROM. Thank you... thank you... thank you!!!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PistolSlap:
Okay, well I did everything again the exact same as I did before... and this time it worked. Who knows what went wrong the first time? Even so, I wrote down everything as I did it (in case it failed again) so I kept it here in case someone else had the same issue, then this is what worked (and should have worked the first time lol)

Okay, so this is what I did, step for step. First I flashed the factory image (Android 11.0.0 (RP1A.201105.002, Nov 2020)) from here. I used the Factory Image, not the OTA, then unzipped this into the platform-tools folder. Then I installed it into the current slot (which was B) by typing

flash-all

in fastboot. Then I switched to slot A using

fastboot --set-active=a

I manually restarted fastboot, and repeated the process by again using the flash-all command.

Once the stock was flashed to both slots, I followed the instructions, like so:

Entered fastboot.

Flashed custom boot image:

fastboot flash boot boot_caf_2020_5.img

Erased Userdata:

fastboot erase userdata

Rebooted into custom fastbootb

fastboot reboot fastboot

In the custom fastboot I selected "Enter Recovery">"Apply Update">"Apply from ADB"

adb sideload pixeldust_blueline-ota-retrofit-0b6310662f.zip

Then it immediately gave error, "Signature verification failed, Install anyway?" and I selected Yes.

When it was completed I rebooted the system and this time it worked. Hooray, finally! lol.

Thanks to everyone who responded. :)

what does it mean to flash build props? What does that do?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] princearic:
Build props is a Magisk module you install that essentially tricks safety net into thinking your phone isn't rooted or custom using Magisk hide within the manager.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PistolSlap:
Oh cool where can I find that? I did enable the magisk hide option in the manager but you're saying there's a flash able package somewhere?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] princearic:
Just search for "Magiskhide props config" within the modules and you'll find it. Follow the instructions and it should be fairly straightforward.
