[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Raz0Rfail:
My patched boot img file hash with magisk build 21005:

Algorithm : SHA256

Hash : F305B8A432CAF660A73B20A8312253B3FDBF857DC6180E9DE798C0C81E36D88D

is it the same as yours ?

With Powershell you get the same result with the following command:

Get-FileHash -Path "<img path>" -Algorithm SHA256

If it is another filehash can you download this boot img and try it aswell:

Thanks to Mr. Wu and the helpful community, my Pixel 5 is finally rooted and all working as expected. Good to have zero adds once again. I simply used the 21005 Canary Build of Magisk and patched the boot.img from October's stock ROM. Got the SafetyNet passing with Basic eval (I had to force basic because previously it failed on hardware) and now Google Pay is working normally (tested in a store to make payment).

Only trouble is my device now identifies as a 'Nexus 5' and I've had to sign into some other apps which were sensitive to this device change. Not a biggie, but just a tad annoying. It also shows as a 'Nexus 5' in the device model under System Settings.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Palaryel:
Pixel 5, unlocked bootloader, rooted. Banking apps (tested: Germany BW Bank app & pushTAN app, Bosnia Unicredit Bank - all in one banking + token app) WORK with root and magisk hide (SafetyNet fails due to hardware attestation). Other apps that work while rooted with magiskhide regardles of attestation: PayPal, GooglePay (*due to a current issue with PayPal im not able to enable contactless payments with GPay at the moment, awaiting PayPal support reply, however the GPay app does launch and says that "Phone meets security requirements" despite SafetyNet failure.

With Magisk HideProps Module (Force Basic Attestation -> Pixel 3a) SafetyNet passes without issues.

GooglePay enabling contactless payments requires SafetyNet to pass. I added PayPal as contactless GPay option after passing SafetyNet. After enabling it I went on and restored the original Pixel 5 Fingerprint, didn't try paying anything this way yet tho. (If it passes like this, the HideProps would be a onetime thing, provided you dont add/remove cards often).
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] yoda947:
I have not used Magisk for any current phone for a long time. Can someone write a short summary of the necessary steps how to root the phone?

I do not know how and where to patch boot.img, where und which version of Magisk to download and install, how to unlock the boot loader and what is necessary at all.

Short listings should already help a lot.

Thanks for your support.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Michael1200:
I agree. Getting my new Pixel tomorrow and I have no experiences with rooting Google phones in general. Would be very kind if someone could post a detailed step by step guide on correctly rooting the Pixel 5. And possibly also how to do future OTA updates without loosing root and what to pay attention to in general. ?? Thanks in advance!

And are there any disadvantages when changing the device ID to say a Pixel 3a to bypass the HW attestation?

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

Watch the video as well 👍
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Michael1200:
Thanks, that helped a lot. The only leftover questions I still have are the following:

1. What to exactly do/flash to fully pass safetyNet after rooting

2. How updating exactly works (not properly explained in the video, only mentioned briefly)

3. Are there any downsides when changing device ID to e.g. Pixel 3a

Besides that, the video is pretty good, but for example it doesn't mention that in this case we need Magisk canary. That's why I asked specifically for the device, as I already knew the "basic" procedure, but not the device specific things to keep an eye on.

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jaythenut:
Safety net means bank apps may not work and gpay at the moment safety net is not working updates are really as well just do this https://xdaforums.com/7t-pro/how-to/guide-update-10-0-3-to-10-0-4-eu-phones-t4004953

I don't know about the 3rd one ?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Michael1200:
However, safetyNet can indeed be passed by flashing certain Magisk modules and changing device ID, if I got that right. A bunch of people in this thread confirmed that they got root with safetyNet passing, which is why I specifically asked how to exactly go about it and what to flash. Root without safetyNet is pretty useless in my opinion if banking apps etc. don't work ... That's why I asked in the first place. Rooting itself isn't the tricky part - getting everything else working is.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Michael1200:
[MENTION=5505196]Raz0Rfail[/MENTION] Now that's the proper guide I was looking for!! Thank you very much, I hope there will be no problems now. :)

If I get the KDDI version however, I will additionally just need to install magisk manager manually, correct? I suppose I can find out which version I have in the settings/system info?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Raz0Rfail:
AFAIK is the KDDI Version for Asia phones. You see it on the build Number If it's a normal version or the KDDI Version. If KDDI it's on the end of the build number to see. If not KDDI you haven't KDDI attached.

To patch your boot image by yourself, you have to do some steps.

At first download the specific rom:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

You need only the "Link". Flash is only for flashing the rom over an chromium browser.

After downloaded the zip file open it, and you find another zip file. This zip file has to be extracted.

Into the extracted zip is the file boot.img, extract it.

Copy the boot.img to your p5 by usb.

Install the last magisk manager Canary version on your p5:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

Open magisk manager. In main menu click on install. In the new menu click on "select a file and patch it". Search for the copied boot.img on your p5 and select it.

Wait for flash completion. And check if it's successful.

Copy the file /sdcard/download/magisk_patched.img to your pc in the adb files directory.

If you on the step to flash the boot image use the new file name.

If you want I can build a pre patched KDDI boot image, but don't know if it will work.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Mocknen:
Magisk Manager shows "N/A"

I have flashed magisk_patched.img which generates exactly the same checksum as the one from posted in #89.

It reboots as usual, however, Magisk Manager shows "Installed: N/A" and it seems not working.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Maybe it's related to this issue, but I haven't found any workaround yet.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] sidhaarthm:
For me personally in the UK, a certain bunch of Halifax Banking Group mobile apps just do not work on rooted devices. This isn't a Pixel 5 issue of course, they haven't worked since my Pixel 2 XL days! No matter how you try and hide Magisk and whatever servers you try and block in AdAway, these apps such as MBNA Cards and Halifax Internet Banking still manage to detect root instantly!:mad:

In comparison several other banking apps work just fine for me on my Pixel 5 with Safetynet passing.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Go ahead and send back a Pixel phone to Google for a warranty claim that is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or has a custom ROM and see how far you get in the process. My co-worker had a volume button stop working on a Pixel 3 XL a little over a year ago. His phone was rooted when he sent it back. Google rejected his claim.

The Google warranty terms say:

"....and this Limited Warranty does not apply to damage caused by normal wear and tear, accidents, misuse (including failure to follow product documentation), neglect, disassembly, alterations, servicing other than by Google authorized technicians, and external causes such as, but not limited to, water damage, "

That wording is very broad. All Google has to do is say that the issue you have is caused by something that fits into one of those things. In the case of my co-worker it was determined to be a "software alteration".

Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. Could you fight it and win? Maybe. Is it worth the hassle? I personally don't think so.

The same is true of the Pixel Preferred Care plan which isn't even handled by Google.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] YandereSan:
Welcome to the world of all hardware made in 2020. Assuming you don't kill yourself, you have to climb a mountain to get any kind of warranty serviced.

Take Whirlpool refrigerators. Just got a brand new one that shipped with a broken air diffuser assembly. The replacement part is out of stock, and Whirlpool support claims the noise is "normal" and refuses to honor the warranty... the **** it is.

Google's no different. Always dragging their feet in the mud to service warranties because their ****'s always malfunctioning. When has there been a Google device that isn't plagued by some screen or battery issue?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bigmatt503:
Just got my 4xl back on Friday from google. The power button quit working. As a matter of fact the rep and I even talked about root and that if they were that concerned about unlocked bootloaders they'd lock them up like the Verizon model. Also keep in mind that a pixel can be returned to 100% stock in 5 minutes like it was just taken out of the box

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

Fair enough. The UK is different. The one thing I did notice is that my discover app would not let me use the face unlock unless I hid root
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bjgood:
I'm trying to decide if I should bother rooting P5 when I get it. Currently I only use root for titanium backup and adaway.

Is titanium backup really needed anymore? I started using when there was basically no backup/restore/transfer capability between android phones, or if a phone got lost/broken. I'm assuming I can fairly seamlessly transfer messages/apps/data from my current pixel2 without root. But what if I later lose/break my phone, is there online backup for that kind of stuff, or a way to back it up on my computer without root?

For adaway it sounds like there are reasonably good non-root alternatives, but would be curious if anyone had specific comments about them.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Pollie81:
For warranty anyone should return their device to stock before returning it, seems obvious to me you shouldn't return a device in a rooted state.

I stopped using TB long time ago since Google backup is working like a charm.

Fresh install are so easy these days.

Adaway can also be used without root btw, it will work with vpn and works just fine.

For me personally there is only one reason left for root and that are audio mods, i use them to get a massive audio enhancement in my car thru Bluetooth.

I still haven't found something good working properly without root.

And i recently had issues with root and my banking app but maybe I'll try again with some guides mentioned here.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Ewto16:
Does anyone have tethering working on the rooted P5 yet? I'm specifically interested in the old UDP on Verizon. I have it working on my old OG Pixel. I want to make sure it works on the P5 before I buy it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ridobe:
I'm going through this thought process now myself. Like you, TiBu and adaway were my two main reasons. So, yesterday when I set up my P5 (used online backup from drive. Also, I did a full backup minutes prior), I ran a check against my TiBu backups and I was literally missing 2 and they were both games. I think I'm on my way to not installing TiBu any more.

As far as adaway is concerned, I recently set up a wireguard vpn server and run that through pinhole. So now I have adblocking on home network and mobile.

I'm close, but it feels weird since I've rooted everything since the Eris, lol.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] MotoCache1:
Ditto. These days I only really need root to edit the build.prop file one time and add:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Root is also nice for both-sides call recording, but that's not the end of the world.

I can live without call recording, I can't live without tether.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Ewto16:
Exactly! That is what I do. That seemed to break on Android 10. I couldn't edit it on that OS for whatever reason. I had to use the tethering module in Magisk Manager. I'd love to know if anyone was able to get tethering working with whatever method (with some guidance), so I could end up getting this phone.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] goldenboyy:
Hi,

I got my Poco X3 a few days ago and the dynamic refresh rate really annoys me...

Is there a way to stop it or to force the refresh rate to always 120hz?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] brainwash123:
There is an option in Display/Screen.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] goldenboyy:
Hi,

I didn't see this option. there is only an option to change it from 120 to 60 but there isn't one for always 120 or even always 60, I tried setting it to 60hz but I noticed the same frame rate drops because of its dynamic changes
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] brainwash123:
Ah, I see what you mean now. Various reviewers mentioned this also.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] goldenboyy:
it even does the same thing with 60hz (but not as bad as the 120hz)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] brainwash123:
Honestly, I think 60Hz runs <60fps, at least compared to other Android devices I have around. I haven't checked the actual FPS but they feel at times more like 30, even when doing basic stuff. Gaming (Asphalt 8) feels choppy at times. Not sure what they are doing but something is wrong with the software.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] lellolellolello:
This phone needs some software update to fix all this problem.
