I'm having a similar issue. I've followed that guide to a"T" and it still won't boot after I push the magisk patched boot.img.

I was on 11.5.2 and updated to 11.6. I installed the proton kernel just fine. I go to push the patched boot.img and half the time ADB says that It's waiting for a device. I restart the bootloader from the up/down menu and it recognizes it and pushes the patched boot.img. It says "boot.img missing cmdline or OS version" but still says "OK" at the end.

Phone reboots, and it either gets stuck on the "Google" logo and after a while I get this thin, horizontal band of garbled static across my screen or it gets stuck at the boot animation. I've let it sit for 10 minutes like that and that's as far is it goes. I've reinstalled the 11.6 update several times, I've installed it after wiping too. No changes. I've used 3 different cables and 2 different usb ports.

It boots just fine with 11.6 and proton kernel without root just fine, but getting root isn't working. The last update I had some trouble getting it to boot with the magisk patch but I've been at this for hours now and it's making me feel incompetent. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, does call recording works in any country? I'm particularly interested in Poland, as in our law, recording voice calls is allowed if we're party of the call. I want to know, before unlocking bootloader and flashing image.

Ok. If you clean install, then do magisk first, THEN kernel it works. You can't do kernel then magisk or it breaks it.

Absolutely. It was in the magisk install notes actually.. As I am getting older I am finding myself saving time by reading instructions and actually asking for directions sometimes ;) Am stoked to have some improvements with this ROM though.. Thought pixel roms were dying!

I'm having an issue installing Google Camera from the playstore and from apk mirror. I have attached the message I keep getting on playstore. My google camera was working before when I was on version 11.x.x of Proton ROM (can't remember the specific version of the ROM). I had installed the GCAM as a priv-app and then I upgraded to the latest proton rom using web installer. After upgrading to 11.6.0 my gcam icon of the app was gone. even though it was still installed as a system app. I then I reverted it to a user app using termux so I could uninstall the package which i did so i could install it all over again. I also deleted the leftovers from the priv-app folder. Now I am trying to install it from the google store but I am not able to. What can I do to fix it? I have tried a bunch of different methods but so far I can't install it from the play store and I can't install it from 3rd party apk websites...
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] beanboy07:
I'm experiencing the exact same issues. This is the only way to gain root now by a clean install if I have flashed a kernel before Magisk?

What I find strange is my problems with regaining root from upgrading to the 11.60 beta from 11.52 was eventually overcome sucessfully. Didn't seem to matter if I flashed kernel or Magisk first but now it does? And I have to clean flash to fix it? I will if needed just have a hard time understanding why when I was able to get it to work prior in beta.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Qheb:
I got exactly the same issue, with Google Pay telling me I am running a rooted rom or custom software.

I was using ProtonAOSP 11.3.3 with ProtonKernel 1.1 without any modification, no root and no Magisk.

I upgraded to ProtonAOSP 11.6.0 and ProtonKernel 2.1 but SafetyNet test is still failing (basicIntegrity succeeds but ctsProfileMatch fails)

Is there any way to pass SafetyNet other than installling MagiskHide ?

@kdrag0n This rom has given new life to my Pixel 5 since I installed yesterday. I've had stock since I bought it when it came out and I've been going back and forth between it and my S21 due to the lag/janky scrolling of the 5 on stock. There is really a major difference on this rom and I really appreciate your efforts. I love the size and weight of this phone and of course the camera. Now it's back to my daily driver.

Have yet to really test battery, but seems fine. Even if it slips a little bit thats a no problem trade-off for the increased performance. No over heating issues either.

I gave a small donation yesterday, hope you got it.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaddySanic:
Does anybody have this issue with the rom, version 11.6 ProtonAOSP, no magisk or kernel with google pay not letting me add my card and play store saying device is not certified? Do i need to have magisk and kernel with all the neccessary safetynet modules to make google pay work? (it says on ProtonAOSP that the stock image indeed has "safetynet passing out of box")
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] blabla189:
I had the same questions and from my current understanding you should be able to pass SafetyNet if you only install the Rom without Kernel. If you installing both you need Magisk and all the necessary modules to pass SafetyNet. Only then you can use Google Pay. Did that and it worked great!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] blabla189:
Could you maybe offer your Rom directly with Proton Kernel? Would be great to have it as an alternative for people who wants the full package out of the box.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] blabla189:
How is the battery life for you with this rom? Mine is mediocre at best although I installed everything clean (webinstaller for 11.6, Proton kernel, magisk (just safetynet pass)).

Thanks for your answers @creezalird & @mindyabiznis . But since I didn't take the time to install MagiskHide on my device, I couldn't try your solutions.

It turns out my Pixel 5 with ProtonAOSP 11.6.0 and ProtonKernel 2.1 finally fully passed the SafetyNet test by itself a few days ago... without changing anything. The same way it stopped passing it two months before.

I must say I don't really understand what happened, but I can now use Google Pay with ProtonAOSP & ProtonKernel, and without MagiskHide.

So, @DaddySanic , yes I had the same issue as you, and it fixed by itself... I hope it does the same for you.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Pixel86:
Just for clarity. You flashed ProtonAOSP and ProtonKernel without Magisk, relocked the bootloader, and SafetyNet passes?

I had tried this about two months ago and it did not work. I may try again this weekend.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jamesuhl:
Please forgive me for arriving late to the party, and for my confusion caused by my tardiness.

Not being fond of Android 12's aesthetics, I'm planning to manually install ProtonAOSP 11.6.0 gapps (b/c I don't see a method to "Web Install" a legacy ROM). When reading this thread's original post, it says the Proton Kernel is recommended. However, reading the ProtonAOSP website's "First steps" after installation, it says "Once you have ProtonAOSP installed, you don’t need to do anything else. The OS works entirely by itself. Enjoy!" Which one is true for 11.6.0?

I don't plan to root, but I am very much out of practice with loading ROMs (and Kernels). I can definitely follow these instructions for ROM installation. But... I checked all 6 pages of the Pixel 5 "Guides" forum, and didn't find a detailed guide for installing a Kernel. A link to a "Guide For Newbs" will get me on the right path as none of my searches are working out.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ViperPyro:
kdrag0n has maintained that ProtonAOSP is fine on its own, but ProtonKernel will accent/optimize it. Optional addition.

I am a fan of Homeboy76's detailed guide for all things rooting/flashing.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-pixel-5-android-12.4187609/

It does not directly cover kernels, but the instructions in kdrag0n's ProtonKernel thread make it quite straightforward. After installing ProtonAOSP and booting once, reboot bootloader --:

Boot the image with "fastboot boot ProtonKernel-pixel5-VERSION.img" to flash it
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] lancebuks:
I too have the ROM and Kernel installed without root and i'm having no issues

The instructions for installing the kernel are on the github page

https://github.com/kdrag0n/proton_kernel_redbull/releases

Download the kernel, boot your phone into fastboot mode and run the following command

fastboot boot ProtonKernel-pixel5-v2.1.img

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] lancebuks:

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jamesuhl:
@ViperPyro & @lancebuks, thank you both for your effort to help this newb (me). I realize now that I should have been more clear when I requested a guide for newbs. :) I didn't understand what "Boot the image with "fastboot boot ProtonKernel-pixel5-VERSION.img" to flash it" means, because I was ignorant of what "Boot... with "fastboot boot" meant or how to achieve that. I continued researching and learned the above assumes the user already knows how those terms apply to the SDK tools, and that it also assumes the user is familiar with using those tools on their devices. From that, I was able to assemble the following, but it has steps missing. For example, the following also assumes bootloader is already unlocked, which in some cases it might not be.

1. Download Proton Kernel to your PC, saving it in the extracted SDK platform-tools folder.

2. Put your phone into bootloader mode by restarting it and holding the volume down button until you see a red warning sign or green Android robot.

3. Once your device is in bootloader mode, plug it into the computer or device you’re installing from.

4. On your computer, open the “Command Prompt” app from the Start menu.

5. Navigate to the extracted SDK platform-tools folder in the “Command Prompt” app by typing cd (with the space at the end) and dragging the folder into Command Prompt. Press enter.

6. Now type fastboot boot ProtonKernel-pixel5-v2.0.img (use the name of the Kernel here, you can just drag it into the “Command Prompt” app) and press enter. This will install the Proton Kernel.

Those are the installation details I can recall. I installed the Kernel and verified it was successfully installed. However, I don't recall precisely what actions I took beyond what I wrote above.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ViperPyro:
Yes, that is correct. Many ways to do it, but that would work. Homeboy76's guide I linked has fairly step by step actions for most of this (unlocking bootloader, for instance).

Glad you figured it out! Hopefully kdrag0n has another Kernel update coming based on full Android12 release :-)

Do we have to do something different to install Proton Kernel 2.1 on Proton 12.0? I am not able to boot after booting to the kernel image from fastboot.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] adamf663b:
Magisk has two components, the core hack(s) and the app. Through the app, install "Magisk". Unless your phone is already rooted, it needs a boot.img to modify and will create a magisk_patched version. Then you boot to bootloader (hold volume down button during bootup), and use fastboot to flash the new boot image. RTFM for more instructions.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] peneoark:
I was having issues with the Magisk root using the same method I used on 11.x. Also had issues with the Proton Kernel. Installing either booted to the bootloader instead of booting the OS.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sic4672:
Same here. Even with the latest canary build
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] adamf663b:
so secure and protected that I can't use it.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] creezalird:
on Android 12 (even on aosp), there is some flags that you need to disable, usually done by including the disable flags while flashing (fastboot method) or flashing separately vbmeta after sideload.

if above was not done, if you flashed modified boot.img, it will not boot into the system.

You can get the idea what I meant by reading these posts

I have only used this rom once when it first came out so I wouldn't know now but you can use Magisk and flash USNF and pass it
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Neffarion:

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] elong7681:
I don't think you should lock the bootloader when you have a custom rom installed because if something happens you might not be able to rescue your phone and the only way to update the rom would be to unlock the bootloader again and that causes an automatic factory reset unless kdrag0n has been able to find away to update his rom with a locked bootloader.

Right. That being said I wouldn't lock the bootloader. Just root the phone, install riru reboot, install USNF 2.1.1 reboot, delete Google services data, play store data and Gpay data and reboot and hide those apps in the Magisk app and you should pass safetynet
