[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
Just wanted to chime in with another success. I used PixelFlasher to do mine. I've gotten lazy over the years and PixelFlasher harkens back to the old days of one button jailbreaking apps. :)

For what it might be worth and this is from memory so I'm not responsible if you somehow manage to brick your device although honestly it takes talent to brick a pixel.

Got my P8P (It was NOT bootloader unlocked from the factory no lottery win here)

Turned on the shower full hot and exhaust fan. (it's just how I roll and it removes dust/hair particles in the air)

Dropped a screen protector on it so the actual display stays virgin and untouched by human fingers, it's a thing I do. Well crap it's ever so slightly warped and has a bubble. Okay trashed it and tried the other one, watched it adhere automagically edge to edge. Yay!

The following is long, involved and may cause your phone to spontaneously melt down for which I take no blame. Probably way over wordy and basic for most of you but if even one person gets something out of it, worth my time to write it.

Environment set up

Edit to add: I already had current ADB release and USB Drivers. If you don't then follow the page 1 post to get them.

Downloaded the October release FW dropped it in my ADB folder.

Downloaded PixelFlasher 5.8.1.0

Booted the phone, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip etc to get to the desktop.

Build x 7 to get dev access

OEM unlock ghosted

Connected to my wifi

rebooted

OEM unlock flippable, usb debugging turned on

Rebooted for no reason other than paranoia.

Root Process -

Run Pixel Flasher

(If you've never used it before then make sure whever you put your ADB tools that path is in the to box)

Go to Phone Image - Browse - Select October FW

Click Process

Select only boot image that shows up

Click Patch, go with Stable Magisk

Connect phone to computer

Wake up phone

Click Scan

On Phone allow incoming ssh key with remember me box checked.

In Pixel Flasher go to Device menu, select unlock bootloader, accept scary language and tell it to get to it. Mandatory disclaimer: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, there is literally no way around it.

Go to phone and use Vol Up to select unlock option then power button to do it.

Wait for reboot, skip all the set up options

Get Dev mode again (build x 7)

Turn USB debugging back on

Kill PixelFlasher because it's hung.

Open PixelFlasher

Go back to PixelFlasher, rescan

Go to phone, accept incoming ssh, remember me.

Go back to PixelFlasher

Select Patched boot image (it has a star/flower looking icon and says patched with Magisk)

Check box to keep data

Click the big magic Flash Pixel Phone

Make some earl grey hot, come back check status.

It's finished (273 seconds on my computer, my phone)

Log in to phone, now I don't skip anything, I set up the phone to phone transfer as prompted and let it finish. Note that your apps will download and install in the background directly from the playstore, depending on your app load this may take.... awhile. It doesn't copy apps from old phone. Only media, download folder, MMS DB etc.

Open Magisk

Settings (gear upper right)

Turn on Systemless hosts, Zeigiest, EnforceDeny, throw all my secured apps into the list. (banking, netflix, google play xxxxx, MFA apps etc).

Copy the _1.3 version of the forked safteynet fix (NOT the _2.0 version)

Click Modules (bottom icon) - install from storage, select above, reboot.

Log back into phone.

Run safetynet checks all green. If you didn't get YASNC from the install on your other phone, download it and run it.

Set phone aside for an hour to let it finish downloading and installing all the apps it can. 1 failed and of course it doesn't tell you which one. But I have have something I side loaded from mirrorAPK because it's not avaialble anymore on the PS, I'll figure it out.

4. Profit and enjoy your brand new rooted P8P on A14.

Over the next few days any apps I open and I find they don't support Googles back up API so there's no config/user data, I'll use SwiftBack on my P7 as superuser to back app and user data. I'll then dump those over and try to restore them there with SwiftBackup in super user. This works for most things other than financial and MFA apps IME.

I'd like to yet again express my appreciation for everyone who helps make this possible, who helps new rooters figure things out, the mods etc.
