If you managed to direct install Magisk, it seems root has stuck for you. For me (and for some other people as it seems) it results in the failed to load/verify boot images error, necessitating re-flashing vbmeta and unmodified boot again.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
So I didn't direct install. I had to patch my boot with magisk 23001 (not latest update) and flash manually after I set to disable vbmeta. I have yet to direct install a magisk update since manually patching magisk boot.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
@killchain This is a good point, thanks for the info...

I am hoping a dirty flash and a full wipe flash can be defined. Until now, I am going to be very careful updating magisk unless absolutely necessary.

It seems like worst case is every month you have to wipe your data when wanting to update to latest A12 and maintain root. I can only imagine how that would suck.

@killchain Is the boot image the only modified image that can be flashed after vbmeta or does that include other images as well?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
Just for ****s and giggles I decided to check for system update in the settings menu and there is a 1.88 GB update availible I am currently running the stable a12 on P5
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
Hmm what was the update for 🤔
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I would guess an OTA so quickly is for bugs that were found. But 1.88gb is quite large. Maybe they rushed the update out?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rumsfield:
Since I was up so late I managed to finally snag a pre-order for an unlocked P6 Pro 512GB at like 8AM, so it was worth it for me.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
That's a good question? I took the update because I had lost root and was trying to get it back. I can't even fastboot boot magiskpatched.img anymore.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rumsfield:
Well noone as far as I know was able to flash a magisk boot image to a pixel 5 that had A11 and upgraded to A12 without doing a wipe. This excludes Pixel 3's and older obviously. I have two pixel 3's and they dirty-flashed fine and kept root with the original magisk method. If you have a Pixel 4 or newer the only way right now to re-gain permanent root is to do a complete wipe and a fresh install of the A12 image for your device with the fastboot commands stated in the first post of this thread. Back up your phone's pictures and data with Google1 or whatever backup service you use, then re-flash the stock image with a wipe as stated in the first post. Then restore data,etc. Its a pain but I do not know of another way right now as there is conflicting info from a bunch of people on here.

1. Backup your phone.

2. Download the factory image to your computer and connect your device via USB, with USB debugging enabled.

3. Extract the contents of the factory ZIP

4. Reboot to bootloader:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification -w update [factory image zip] (not the entire downloaded zip file, the inside zip file with images) If you try to flash the entire zip it will give an error, so don't try that.

DATA WIPE IS REQUIRED when updating from an older version of Android.

5. Let the update complete

6. Setup the phone from scratch and whatnot and install Magisk again

7. Continue to Patch Boot Image as usual. Root will work now.

8. Restore data.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
@HumorBaby apparently figured out that sideloading the OTA, then going straight into fastboot (not bootloader) without a reboot to flash /vbmeta and /boot seems to work.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rumsfield:
Excellent. But is it permanent root or temp which goes away after a reboot?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HumorBaby:
Permanent. data and root survived multiple reboots so far
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HumorBaby:
Yes, but I should clarify here that it was from 12b5 to stable. 11 to 12b5 still needed that initial wipe after disable verity+verification
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rumsfield:
Guys if this is only going from beta 12 to official 12 this should not be posted in here. People are looking for A11 to A12.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rumsfield:
Well they were posting as if they found the work around which is really going to confuse people like I stated earlier...
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Both upgrade paths are welcome here, I just ask that we all be very clear on what state we started in and the process used, so as to avoid any confusion to other members who may want to follow the same paths.

@HumorBaby I'm going to link your guide in the OP of this thread for those who are upgrading from the beta.

I'm honestly curious if it would work coming from Android 11. Like you, I had wiped /data when upgrading from 11 to 12 Beta 5, but I don't see why the same process wouldn't work for Android 11...although I think it would be advisable for someone to update their bootloader and radio first.

I'm hoping we can narrow down on exactly what is causing this data corruption issue, although I suspect it's going to take someone with better knowledge of Android in general and some good hex editing skills.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
I did notice in the changelog for Magisk 23010, it mentions support for 32 bit boot images and boot configurations.

Who is still using temporary root? If you can, please patch your boot image using 23010 and see if it will boot when you flash it. If it doesn't, you should be able to reflash the stock boot image.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HumorBaby:
I'll bite the bullet and do some [painful] tests… Here goes nothing…

My plan is to:

First, drop back to clean stock 11 with factory image for 11 (redfin-rq3a.211001.001). This should leave me with 11's bootloader too, and effectively drop me into a state which most people who are trying to avoid wipes are in.

Then, flash Magisk (23001 for now, since I assume if this one works, then 23010 will also) patched boot.img only (not vbmeta, since you didn't need to flash it before a patched boot in 11). Confirm that I have root.

Then, I will

(1) sideload stable 12 OTA, and drop to fastboot WITHOUT A REBOOT!

(2) flash Magisk patched boot.img (without vbmeta, and thus without --disable-verity and --disable-verification)

(3) see what happens…

I will share my findings soon.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Good luck!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Sorry I missed this. I updated to 23010 today and did direct install, everything is working fine.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
I really need to read and quote in one post instead of posting individual responses...

It's Monday, I haven't had enough coffee, and I stayed up too late playing AC Odyssey. At least I got Poseidon's Trident.

I originally updated to 12 stable from 12 beta 5 this way. I got an update notification too, and I believe it was a similar size. 1.88GB seems like a lot but it's pretty heavily compressed - the factory zip is 2.17GB, 6.73GB extracted.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistermojorizin:
So just to clarify, so far we can go

1) A11->12 beta --> **WIPE** to get root -->12 stable OR

2) A11->12 stable --> **WIPE** to get root OR

3) A11-->12 beta-->12 stable --> **WIPE** to get root

No one's figured out a way to get permanent root without a wipe at some point in the upgrade path?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rbouza1:
I took ota and just boot maigisk patch boot and don't restart for root until I wanna wipe
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
To add, A12 magisk 23001 to 23010 no wipe required.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Humorbaby was able to upgrade from 12 Beta to 12 Stable without a wipe, but he had wiped when upgrading from A11 to 12 Beta.

If you have not yet upgraded and are willing to give it a try, with the understanding that you may have to wipe data and start over anyway, you can try to use his method to upgrade. Just make sure you update bootloader and radio before you sideload the OTA.
[General Questions and Answers] Duffy180788:
Ok, please advise if their is a "better way" .

I need an internet and network solution. I only get 2Mbs with a fibre optic cable at a work location, as we are very very far from exchange. Everything on the cable is Slow. ISP cannot improve line speed unless we pay for dedicated line which requires them to dig and install . Oh and a cheap quote of £20,000 :).

Anyhow, I want to avoid this by :

My possible solution , is a 4G Router to work with a BT sim card. We get about 20Mbs on a sim card. (Which would be fine for us)

I am looking to run an External Ariel /antenna from the 4g Router, to hit the best signal. Maybe place this on the Roof, or side of the building.

From the 4G Router, I would like a 4 Port 1GB Switch. (If router does not have ports) To hard wire an ethernet printer & Macbook. Whilst using WIFI from the 4G Router with portable items , like Laptops that can also print as well as Macbook.

Please can someone help, with what products I need, maybe link to them too.

I.e,

4G Router

1GB Switch

Ariel / Antenna

(Is it Coax cable from Router to Antenna) are these ends screw on? F Connector I think the Ends are called ?)

CAT5 for Hard Wire connections , Printer / Macbook.

Please advice ,

Many thanks

Fact is: Ethernet ( wired connection ) is always ways faster than Wi-Fi ( wireless connection ).

In my experience, using an 802.11g router, the speed of the wired connection is twice that of wireless. When using an 802.11n router, the speed of the wired connection was only 50 % faster than the wireless. Here are more results from my tests: Wired connection average download from the Internet is 25mbps.

Hello guys, let's make it short... suddenly the display of my Diamond become black and there's nothing I can do to make it on again... I tried everything: reset, remove battery... nothing! :-(

The telephone works, in fact I can receive calls and so... and it even connects through activesync. So it's a display problem for sure! :-((

Now my BIG question: I have to put it back H3G ITA original ROM (first step), that I've found on an italian forum and the original SPL that I've found here (second step), to bring the Diamond to repair.

For the ROM no probs I suppose... I'll go thru Activesync and flash it as usual, but THEN??? I won't be able to use activesync again to flash the spl, since I won't be able to set the initial configuration! :-(

Can you help me? Some ideas??? Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ernexto:
mmm... what if someone tells me the right steps after a flash upgrade and i try to touch the screen at my best for the initial configuration???

1. Fastboot, flash TWRP and backup efs and modem.

2. Download EFS Sweet of the previous Post

3. Enter recovery, copy replace contents of the last folder. [Replacing the ones on your phone] I backed up on my SD card.

4. Restore backup

5. Used MiFlash to flash v13 global.

6. If wifi is working after reboot it's a good sign. Now I rent software called DFT Pro.

7. Backed up EFS and after wiped it.

8. Rooted phone and enabled dialogue used the repair function to repair IMEI.

7. Then repair the network with Sweet selected.

Seems like only works on SIM 2
