So does it work on Pixel 5? Do you still have to change the device name to 3A?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshnichols189:
Looks like US P5 has a different firmware version than what's available in the factory images
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
I think your right. My build number has A4 at the end. I did patch the boot image, from the factory image on Google's website and everything is working with root. Interesting.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshnichols189:
Weird, it worked for you? I get an unable to repack with canary Magisk Manager, figured it might be related. I can fastboot flash the pre-packed boot image in the OP, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Yep. Worked with no issues
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshnichols189:
Would you mind sending me a link to where you downloaded the canary build, and how big the boot.img you're repacking is? I'm p positive I'm on the right github for the builds and the boot.img is fine, so not sure why it's having trouble patching.

What device fingerprint in magisk props are you choosing to pass safetynet?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aporzio:
Just a quick update. I used the hardwareoff module to pass safetynet and it is working. Just hide magisk , flash the hardwareoff zip in magisk, reboot and you're done. Also I hid google pay in magisk and google pay let me set it up but I haven't been to the store yet to see if it works.

So does that keep the device model intact?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aporzio:
Unfortunately not it looks like. My laptop reads it as BASIC. I ended up switching over the hide props instead with 3a fingerprint because screen off hey google wasn't working.

My US p5 came with RD1A.200810.022.A4

about to try the factory image RD1A.200810.020 boot.img

boot partition not found. assuming it's at boot_a, might try that
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Yeah. Sucks. That's how I did mine. I'm just thinking about running rooted with no safetynet. My only issue is Netflix and I can easily get around that
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Knuxyl:
Idk what happened but my fastboot does not recognize the actual boot partition when using fastboot flash boot. I tried boot_a instead and that worked.

I just realized the firmware shipped on my phone is different than the images they have online. I patched the boot.img from online and it still worked using canary magisk.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Same here. Didn't realize they were different until someone pointed it out to me. The boot image from the different firmware still worked for me too
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aporzio:

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
Did you do anything to get Basic and pass safety net? Hide props?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Yep. Hide props and chose the 3A fingerprint. Just concerned I'm going to miss Pixel 5 device specific updates from the play store. I'm just going to run rooted without safetynet. Don't really need it
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aporzio:
Follow the tutorial on using magiskhide props but instead of choosing f it's d. Basically you'll be forcing attestation with magiskhide props and setting it to the pixel 3a fingerprint

Lucky you? Are you sure you are on 22.A4?

I tried but couldn't make it work.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aporzio:
Idk might be ok cause technically the fingerprint is still set to pixel 5 just not attestation.

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sean222:
I have the North America (Canada) Pixel 5. The patched Magisk image in the first post didn't work.

I used the boot from image 11.0.0 (RD1A.200810.020, Oct 2020) here https://developers.google.com/android/images

Extract the zip, then extract the zip inside that zip and you will see the boot.img. Copy it to your Phone. Make sure you are running Magisk Manager (Canary channel - you can select this in the settings in the app).

Then patch that boot.img using the Magisk Manager app, and then you get your magisk_patched.img. Copy it back to you computer and flash it.

My build number (RD1A.200810.022.A4) isn't available from Google, they only have RD1A.200810.020.

Hey, XDA. Per the instructions, about hiding magisk manager, what does that do exactly? I've never used that option before, but, it gives magisk manager a new package name? How does that help achieve passing safetynet for Google pay functionality?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
I don't think it has anything to do with Google pay. It hides the manager app from those apps that try and detect the manager
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raz0Rfail:
AFAIK if Manager doesn't hides itself, safetynet will fail.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
I have never repacked and renamed the manager. I always passed safetynet
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManicMondays:
My phone also works rooted following the original directions and using the .020 patched boot image on the .022.A4 build.

The only problems that I've been noticing is that sometimes the phone will stop accepting input (and can't turn on the screen) after being put on the charger for a while without interacting with it. Then I have to restart it to get it working again. Not sure what's going on there but I'm pretty sure it has to do with it being rooted or something related.

Anyone else have the permissions grayed out for magisk?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Yes.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cubandanger05:
Hmmm. It fails to download certain modules. Debug version kept force stopping when I went to modules, so I had to uninstall it and install version 8.0.1, even 8.0.2 wouldn't download any modules.

Edit: safetynet passes with alternative app, the magisk checker fails. Gpay works without fully hiding magisk

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raz0Rfail:
Thank you very much. As you said the problem was probably the outdated platform tools.

So I could reinstall the system (incl. wipe) and then I had to reconfigure the whole phone.

But I did it. Root works again using Magisk works again. Currently I have no problems at all.

I don't know if the problem was using the central clock navbar mod I used before. I suppose the use of the mod caused the systemui.apk to crash permanently, so I got the message "phone is starting" endlessly.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I keep getting "N/A" next to "Installed" in Magisk Manager. Here are the steps I took after updating my US unlocked Pixel 5 to the November update (also tried on the October update but getting "N/A" on that too):

1. Download correct factory image. Unpack, extract boot.img and transfer to phone.

2. Download Magisk Manager Canary, set update channel to Canary.

3. Download Magisk (21005) and patch boot.img

4. Run "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img" command and reboot phone

I tried doing this with and without Magisk Manager installed before flashing the boot image. Flashing the image never installed Magisk Manager, and no matter what I do it still shows up "N/A". Any suggestions?

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Knuxyl:
For anyone having the N/A problem after flashing patched magisk, this is what I did to fix the issue.

I uninstalled magisk manager

I rebooted to bootloader and flashed stock boot.img

I started phone and installed magisk manager

I patched boot.img in magisk manager and copied the output magisk_patched.img to my computer

I rebooted to bootloader and flashed magisk_patched.img

It is now working

I am wondering if magisk checks boot checksum and waits until there is a change in the boot and then checks for magisk. It's the only reason I can think of for it not seeing magisk if the manager is installed after the patched boot is flashed

To put simply, install magisk manager and open it once while on stock boot before flashing patched boot

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

I do not have that tile and cannot seem to get it to show up anywhere. But I don't even know if it was there to begin with. NFC still works

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

I forgot to mention, when I did the steps above I flashed the stock and the patched boot img multiple times before starting phone. IDK if that makes a difference, but worth a shot

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raz0Rfail:
You should search your firmware on the developers page.

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

If you search there for your firmware, you got two entries. The first one is for pixel 5 and has this text:

11.0.0 (RD1A.200810.021.A1, Oct 2020, EU carriers)

So you know now, you have an EU device. Next step is to check the Pixel 5 list for other EU firmwares. Currently you search for the November update (this means how you search in the future).

At the moment you got this version

11.0.0 (RD1A.201105.003.B1, Nov 2020, EU carriers)

And in the line is in the next cell the link you need.
