Hello. What is the difference between safetynetfix_v4.zip and PlayIntegrityFix_v14.3.zip? I was using PIF until it stopped working and then found Safetynet Fix in this thread. My phone is passing basic and device integrity with safetynetfix_v4.zip, which is same as play integrity fix till the time it was working on my phone.

I will definitely root my 8 Pro if there is magisk module that can add ''do not validate'' for WIFI connection, I am now on the visitor wifi of my company instead of the employees one because of that missing option
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Homeboy76:
If you read the OP, and used the Androidacy Module Manager to search for the Magisk module and didn't find it.

OP (post #1), ~ ~ ~ Part II - INSTRUCTIONS ~ ~ ~,

7. Root/Reroot with Magisk and Pass SafetyNet.,

• Pass Safety Net with SafetyNet Fork

,

1. Download File(s).

• Magisk Module repositories:,

• Androidacy Module Manager

You did the right thing by creating this thread:

Module to enable Do not validate certificates?

Note: You should ask a Moderator to move this Thread/Post to the Google Pixel 8 Pro forum - Question

Maybe your company's Network Administrator

doesn't want employees that are not

validated

on the employees WiFi network.

Your company's Network Administrator controls that

option

So they changed the boot to init boot.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Homeboy76:
If you are referring to the .img file you patch and flash to root the Pixel 8 Pro. It has always been the init_boot.img file.

There is still a boot.img in the factory image...zip file => image...zip file.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
I just got my pixel 8 pro from a pixel 6 pro. Different boot.img file. Took me a bit and confusion to realize why root was not flashing. Got root now and google pay I believe working.

Thank you OP. If I might digress, is the following supposed to be able to work on Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) with KernelSu? Could @osm0sis please enlighten us? I thought I updated in the right order. Still YASNAC would say all fails. I recall that was the case for Magisk, but I was hoping against hope that KernelSu is much stronger, but I guess not in the case of WSA? Many thanks

SafetyNet - osm0sis Play Integrity Fork

Ooops. Indeed unable. According to FAQ at https://GitHub.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds

Can I pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity?

No. Virtual machines like Windows Subsystem For Android™ cannot pass these mechanisms on their own due to the lack of signing by Google. Passing requires more exotic (and untested) solutions like: <https: 145#discussioncomment-2170917="" discussions="" github.com="" kdrag0n="" safetynet-fix="">

So exactly how do I access the untested solution? Thanks
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Homeboy76:
I think this was addressed by @osm0sis in this post.

Ok, so I did a dumb and completely missed step 2 where you do the "fastboot flashing unlock".

I sideloaded the Husky OTA.zip and TRIED to sideload the magisk patched file and messed that up (yay dyslexia!)

Now when I'm in recovery ADB isn't detecting the phone. Am I screwed?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Pixel86:
No. Just unlock the bootloader and reflash the full factory image. You'll be good again.

Guys, i can't use Now tv (sky) app with stock OS, unlocked bootloader, magisk canary and denylist (i have play integrity fix to use wallet and it works)

Now when I'm in recovery ADB isn't detecting the phone and I'm getting the dead android (red exclamation mark) and "No Command". What can I do?

Im not quite sure how to go about this? Like, the phone boots, I can get into the OS, OEM unlocking is switched on, but when I reboot into recovery or fastboot or whatever I can't seem to send commands via ADB anymore. I must be missing something painfully simple. Maybe USB drivers aren't recognizing the phone in the various recovery / bootloader modes? But I tried reinstalling the USB drivers and no dice. Maybe I've got the wrong drivers?

Edit: A comedy of errors. A reinstall of the USB drivers later and the phone shows up under fastboot devices (why I forgot there was a difference between this and ADB devices? I dont know lol.) Downloaded the full firmware (not the OTA), that was my other problem. Now with the proper firmware and proper drivers I was able to use the flash all bat from the firmware to get my phone back into a running state and try again.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
will be trying this! Been frustrated that the person who made pif removed finger print and is forcing us to provide our own. I have no idea how to do that and when I asked on that forum was told to unroot and go back to stock. Like I should know how to do that....

So flashed and rebooted. Will see if it worked. There is an update. Can I flash that?

Tested and its not passing still. Cannot use google pay.

thx! This is the type of answer I would have preferred in that thread lol.

But side note. Is there an easier kinda 1 step install or 2? Like a module with it just saying load this if said integrity fails. I would really not like to have to go through hoops lol. But I guess google not making it easy for us.

I am guessing that Verizon is your cell provider as Google released a Verizon specific update after the global update. If you are on Verizon the only difference I can find is that it has a Verizon specific radio image.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
I have Verizon but bought my phone directly from google so I could unlock the bootloader. I did install the update and flashed magisk after it was done before the reboot. (It worked and root was kept).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DougMG:
I bought mine from Google as well for the same reason. I have owned several non-carrier Pixels and the only times I have received a Verizon update is if it has a Verizon radio image that is different from the global release.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
Makes sense. Well at least we know it works :). Now if I could get device integrity passing again. That would be neat.

If you prefer using Global firmware on your Google purchased Pixel 8 Pro,

turn off Automatic system updates

I already have it off. I manually installed it. Figured well since I am on verizon might as well get the boost in mobile signal
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
Can you please clarify how exactly did you flash Magisk after the update (and before rebooting)?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DougMG:
Have it turned off as well however I kept getting notifications that there was an update available for the last few days before I accepted it today.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DougMG:
After the update installs and asks you to reboot open magisk and press the install button for magisk not the app and it gives you several install options. Choose install to inactive slot and then go back to the android update install screen and reboot from there.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
Yup this! Though I will say It never worked when I tried with my pixel 6 pro. I was expecting a boot loop when trying with my new phone. Got a surprise when it worked.

Hey there, is there any advantage of rooting one of the slots and keeping the otherone unrooted?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
No, root will show for both regardless as it sits in the shared /data partition.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Homeboy76:
There is a slight advantage to rooting one slot and leaving the other slot unrooted: If you use an app that will not pass SafetyNet with root and the work-a-rounds to pass SafelyNet. You could switch to the unrooted slot and "use" the app.

However, there is an advantage to making both slots bootable.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
Wouldn't the app that complaints about being rooted now complain about being unlocked (which is "hidden" on a rooted phone)?

Personally, the ONLY time I found it useful to be able to boot both slots was when I was testing regional variants of a rom (on my OnePlus 8T).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Homeboy76:
Good point!

The Google unlocked bootloader checks would negates the "slight advantage".

Can anyone confirm that the free Google VPN for Pixel 7/8 works if you're rooted?

I recently canceled my Google One subscription and it wouldn't connect "VPN can't connect" "Check your router and firewall settings, then try the VPN by Google One connection again". Tried everything (clearing storage/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling, etc.). I ended up resubscribing on the $2/month plan to see if it was something else, and it immediately connected. I had Google One active when I set up my phone, so I don't know if would have worked before or not.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
Deleted!

I thought I was in a different thread
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] supermansaga:
They still say the following on the FAQ page

Your VPN by Google One may not work if:

1)There isn’t an available internet connection on your device. Check your network settings and troubleshoot connection issues.

2)You’re in a country or region that we don’t support. Check where VPN by Google One is available.

3)Your Google Account isn’t eligible for VPN by Google One. Workspace and certain supervised accounts, like a child’s account, aren't eligible.

4)Your Google One app or VPN by Google One app isn’t up to date. To get the latest version, update your app.

5)Your device is rooted or isn’t up to date with security updates.

6)Your bootloader is unlocked.

7)You're on Android 8.1 or lower.

8)You run a beta or other unofficial version of Android.

For these reasons, I am not rooting anymore. But it's not like I can use it now, given I am in an unsupported country.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] FierceDeityLink1:
Right, that's why I was asking. When I had the Pixel 7 Pro, the Google One VPN would randomly break even if you're unrooted and/or subscribed to Google One: https://xdaforums.com/t/vpn-not-working-anymore.4541685/

Maybe in this case it was because I forgot to hide the One app and "VPN by Google One" system app, though. I'll have try that once my Google One subscription ends. I just don't know if anyone else has this problem or has gotten it working on Pixel 8.

Hello

I can use any banking app or secured app with my rooted P8P, but only the mcdonalds one is root proof!

Any extra module to install ?

I have a brand new P8P. I was able to "enable oem unlock" in developer options, and then "fastboot flashing unlock" was also successful.

On reboot, the system gives the message about unlocked bootloader as expected, but then hangs at the white Google splash screen, and no adb ...

Thankfully I am able to manually get to fastboot. While there, fastboot reboot gives the following message: "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly". Power button to continue ... then get the bootloader unlocked message again and again hangs at white Google splash screen.

I suppose the next step is to try to flash new global image via fastboot??

UPDATE: I have attempted "flash-all" factory image 14.0.0 (UQ1A.240105.004, Jan 2024) and also 14.0.0 (UQ1A.240205.004, Feb 2024) and both fail at the same point:

Sending sparse 'product_a' 12/13 (262140 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file)

UPDATE 2: I successfully flashed the beta image (thanks for posting that in the OP!) I then tried to go back to Feb 2024 image hoping maybe the successful beta flash might somehow 'fix' something -- but it still failed again at sparse product_a 12/13. So I guess I'll be staying on the beta build :) . I noticed that the public build was using fastbootd on the phone for the system image where it was failing. The beta build stayed in regular 'ole fastboot.

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jjlane86:
I used another guide in this forum to root my P8P and didnt know this guide was here. I have been using homeboys guide to root forever.

In the other guide, I was confused about making both slots bootable. So I only flashed the init_boot image once. That being said, how should I go about making sure the other slot is bootable? If you flash one slot rooted and the other not rooted, how does the phone know to boot to the rooted slot? This whole 2 slot thing is confusing to me but has me worried that my phone may become bricked since I do not currently have 2 bootable slots since rooting my new device.

xdaforums.com

I wrote this intro to A/B devices when I got my OnePlus 8T. It still applies to the Pixel 8 Pro (except for the section on memory type).

It may help you understand what this A/B configuration is designed for.

Note, while you can can have both slots bootable, it wasn't designed for this. And in general practice (when the phone is updated via incremental OTAs) they are not both bootable - you have to go out of your way to make them so.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jjlane86:
Thank you! good read. So, I don't really need to flash both slots? I am fine as-is? It's rooted and working just fine and all. What if a major OTA tries to install like back in android 12? I have auto updates disabled but I am wondering why it's even included in the guide if it isn't necessary.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
If you've turned off auto update then your phone should not install an OTA update even if it's available.

And if the OTA does get installed (to the other slot), you would have to either keep it or flash back the previous version. You cannot simply swap slots back to the previous version because the super partition is common and will contain the OTA's files (having overwritten the previous version's content in the super partition).
