[Guide] How to systemlessly root your Pixel XL on Android 8.0 (SuperSU) - Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi everyone, first time posting a guide here. I've started writing my own guides for the stuff I do to try and make it a bit more clear for myself, and I've decided to start sharing!
I literally just finished doing this on my own device, and I can confirm that it works with no issues; I'm passing SafetyNet and have root. However, as with all the other posts people make, I'm not responsible for any damage done to your device! I don't think anything will happen, this process is very painless.
EDIT: It's been confirmed that SuperSu Config is not required for Android 8.0, as systemless SBIN is the default for 8.0. I had seen this before, but decided to do it anyway to be extra sure (I like the extra redundancy). I'm leaving the steps in in case others want to be extra sure of this, or want the options provided by the installer.
1) Download the modded TWRP
2) Download SuperSU
3) Download SuperSu Config
4) Download SuHide
5) Copy the modded TWRP to PlatformTools. Rename it however you like. I'm using twrp-oreo for now.
6) Copy SuperSu, SuperSuConfig, and SuHide to internal storage
7) Boot the device into bootloader - adb reboot bootloader
8) Boot into TWRP - fastboot boot twrp-oreo.img
9) Flash SuperSuConfig, then choose add more zips. Choose SuperSU.
10) In the Aroma installer for SuperSuConfig, choose Systemless SBIN. For all other options, I chose let SuperSu decide.
11) Boot to system (Edit 8/28/17: DO NOT install TWRP, just boot to system)
12) Go back to bootloader and boot to TWRP
13) Flash SuHide
And that should do it!
UPDATE 10/2 The links for SuperSu and SuHide have been updated to the latest releases.

Thank you for this guide! I was wondering if we can use magisk instead of supersu?
Edit: I was not able to root this way. My device says it's not rooted.

Yeah I'm not sure about Magisk. I do k ow that Magisk needs a custom kernel, so that might be your issue. Did you try flashing something like Franco or ElementalX? Or did you try using my instructions specifically?

I haven't tried magisk yet. I just tried your instructions specifically. If I wanted to remove the changes I did from your instructions and try again, would this just mean flashing stock boot.img?

I've seen some folks report that they couldn't get Magisk to work. I can't confirm that right at this moment though. You can test and see if it'll work by just using the TWRP provided. Not sure if it's based off RC2 or RC1.

It depends, are you able to boot to system? If not, like you're stuck in a bootloop, I'd suggest flashing completely back to stock. It would mean you'd lose your apps and data, but if you can't boot to system anyway then it doesn't really matter.
If you CAN boot to system, then I'd suggest just starting over and use SuperSu with SuHide. I doubt that any changes actually took place on your device since you didn't flash a custom kernel. But this is only if you can boot to system successfully.

Worked great. Even let's me add a CC to Android Pay. I have not tested if it works yet.

SBIN mode is the default one for Android 8.0, so you don't need to use SuperSUConfig at all.

Rooted perfect however I cannot uninstall system apps, how come?

have you tried going into adb shell and type the su command?

I'm using the system app remover from playstore. It says failed to uninstall.

Root works. AndroidPay works with SUHide!
Thanks!

Ok after reflashing, everything works as intended. Thanks for the guide!

I can confirm this works with the Pixel XL.

Stupid question but I'm guessing bootloader must be unlocked first correct?

I was afraid you were going to say that. For one brief, glorious moment I thought I could get rid of adds without having to deal with this damn locked bootloader. My own mistake for getting the phone from EE direct. Thanks dude, much appreciated though

MAGISK+ Root+ safetynet - Pixel Guide

Hi All,
Been a root user for a few years, so i know the power of the typical root apps such as SU, Magisk and Xposed.
I was messing around last night an managed to find a way to get magisk fully installed on my phone and it passed the safety net ( see pictures). There are pictures to prove i have got magisk, Also there may be a easier method but this is what i used.
Ensure you are on RR as i have not tested.
Here is my method:
1. Download both attached files
2. Reboot to recovery
3.flash SU
4.Reboot
5. Once system loads open up SU app and go through the initial setup
6. reboot back into recovery
7.flash Pixel Magisk RC112
8. REBOOT
9. go into the SU app and into settings, scroll down to full uninstall and click thorough the popups and uninstall.
10. your phone will reboot and go into the magisk app and thank me.
Thanks for reading
EDIT: ALTERNATIVE METHOD BELOW:
How I got this on pn, elemental and flashing the right zip in the op was the key for me, the 2 zips in the first post of this thread
Install pn
Install TWRP
Reboot system
Reboot recovery, install elemental
Reboot to system
Reboot recovery install magisk sr3 zip one on op
Reboot system
Set up super su
Reboot recovery, flash rc112
Reboot system
Super su full unroot, check yes to both
Should reboot system
Open and set up magisk manager,
Go to settings and check hide magisk and systemlesd
Seems to work better on pn
This follows the first post of this thread works good for pn
If magisk manger doesn't show up in your launcher
Install https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskM...ger-v4.2.6.apk
CREDIT: mac796
Here's another way new rr already comes with magisk manager on it. Just wipe in TWRP, flash newest rr, reboot system once and then flash this experimental magisk zip in TWRP
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767148610
Also when your done make sure to check hide magisk inside manager. And also if your a titanium backup user, you need to go to preferences, troubleshooting, check force busy box, and sq lite. That will make it work with new magisk root
Remember to check busy box in magisk manager app,
And give it a couple reboots, takes a bit to kick in.
Edit no longer have to do anything to get titanium backup to work, just check Magisk hide and systemless
Edit. Will work on big and small pixel
Edit updated new Magisk zip

Looks promising, will it works on pn rom or is it rr rom exclusive for now?

At the very end of my method I had to reboot once to get it all working right.
For the full unroot part do I need to restore the boot and recovery img?
If I choose no it reboot with SuperSU app disappear but still rooted with SuperSU as shown in the magisk app
restore the boot and recovery, it should delete the app and no super su left on your device.
Awesome. Gonna try this out tomorrow morning.
Are there any other useful modules for magisk? I havent looked into them since it was in v6 or v7...
only thing i use is hide su or magisk
everything else seems irrelevant for me, but if you find something let me know.
Here is my procedure: I was on newest RR with ElementalX and SuperSU.
I followed these steps: recovery -> dirty flash RR and flash Elemental X, MAGISK experimental zip, TWRP zip -> reboot = No SuperSU but magisk root works and safety net check failed in Magisk -> go back to recovery -> flash Elemental X, MAGISK experimental zip, TWRP zip -> reboot, No SuperSU, magisk root works, safetynet passes, hide magisk from other apps in magisk setting -> profit (android pay, venmo, snapchat, all are working)

I have not seen anyone say they have decrypted the phone, Magisk is just now working on a few roms. I wouldnt bother, this phone has the processor for decryption.
So I take it that even with this it is one or the other with regard to having root (su) working or safety net passing for Magisk. You cant have true SU where you can alter system/app folders with Magisk root, you need true super su. So if I use Magisk root it limits me a little bit. But if I dont I cant use stuff like android pay, LOL

That's great. I'm trying to get a hold of another guy that said he got it to work on pn. I tried but ended​ up having to start over and flash stock. I'll tell u this if you haven't tried restoring a backup with rc2, don't, it caused all kinds of problems. I went back to rc1.
I can't get Titanium Backup to work . I did check "force busybody and SQlite" in Troublshoot settings,

Make sure and enable busy box inside magisk manager settings. That might do the trick and I installed busy box like normal to, not sure if I had to, I think it might be built in to that app

MAGISK root for sprint htc 10?

I have been using TWRP+SuperSU on my HTC 10 (sprint). However, I am not happy not being able to use Android Pay due to root. I searched and found a MAGISK root can do the trick.. I searched and was surprise to find not much of info on this variant.
I only found this: [ROOT] Magisk AutoRoot: Magisk + phh's SuperUser for Nougat (No TWRP required). But that's for the Unlocked version:
Prebuilt Boot Images:
US Unlocked: US_Unlocked_2.28.617.8_boot.zip
I assume I cannot use above boot image for Sprint variant. My question is, where to get this prebuilt boot image for Sprint?
I am on Android 7.0 (2.42.651.6).
Thanks!!

If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
Flash Magisk zip
Reboot, and update the stub Magisk Manager to the latest from Play Store

Try my post from the Bad Boyz ROM thread. I'm pretty sure that covers it all. If you're already RUU'd you can skip that part, but you will need to unlock your bootloader if you haven't already. I think that factory resets the phone. There's another thread on how to do that via HTCDev that should be stickied, but the process is easy.

Edit: I see you're already in the process on the other thread. Good luck!

[GUIDE] Root using Magisk, keep stock recovery for OTA

This is a guide for people who want a rooted MIUI. It will keep stock recovery and system partitions untouched to allow MIUI OTAs to install without problems. It will also pass Google's safety net test so bank apps keep working. The best of both worlds really
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Windows PC
- fastboot (present in the miunlock app folder)
- Latest TWRP (download here)
- Latest Magisk (download here)
Steps:
- Install latest Magisk app
- Put latest Magisk zip on your device storage (SD)
- Shut down device
- put latest twrp.img in miunlock folder
- Connect phone to PC
- Press volume down and power button to boot to fastboot mode
- Open "Command Prompt" on your PC
- Type: (without quotes)
----- "cd C:\Users\[your name]\Desktop\miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10" . (or wherever the folder is)
----- "fastboot devices"
----- "fastboot boot twrp.img"
- In a few seconds, TWRP will boot on your phone. DO NOT swipe to make changes to system.
- In TWRP, flash the Magisk zip
Enjoy root

Same as my question. Let say system partition won't touch by root, but twrp is installed over the Mi stock recovery. Will it install Eta?
This guide DOES NOT flash TWRP. Stock recovery remains so OTA updates work.
The only thing that is touched by this guide is the "Boot" partition to install magisk. You can restore stock "Boot" using magisk manager's uninstall option at any moment and be 100% stock again.
Ok, but is Xposed etc. possible?

Well... That's I mean, boot TWRP using adb
After have TWRP, how can i get update via OTA?
it successfully worked for Redmi Note 4 global beta/stable MIUI9.2
even installed camera api 2 using magisk module
Just a quick question. I've TWRP right now with SuperSU. So I'll remove SuperSU, flash Magisk in TWRP. All good till now, but I'd want the stock recovery, a flash-able zip maybe. How can I get it? From where?
**[EDIT]**
Okay. One can get it from fastboot ROMs available at MIUI website (here), extract the pack and get recovery.img.
Installed successfully on miui 9.2.1.0 stable
Now when a new update for magisk is released, how should i update it??
I have two questions:
1. Why does the bootloader need to be unlocked and how can I do that?
2. What happens to Magisk if I install an OTA?
I'd like to keep the phone untouched but I need to change emojis and with Xposed I can use Youtube in background.

Do you mean this?
When an OTA is available, please go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot immediately or you will have Magisk uninstalled. This will restore your boot (or dtbo if available) back to 100% untouched stock images in order to pass verifications. This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!

I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

Did you uninstall SU before trying to install magisk. The two together may cause conflict.

Try twrp 2.8.7 hltevzw. You are using the stock ROM which is android 5. Twrp 3.1 and higher is for android 7 and up. I missed that the first time I read your post.

Yes. Are you installing Magisk .zip in twrp and installing Magisk Manager APK after normal reboot?

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?
What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.
I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.

How to flash TWRP in Android 10 Open Beta 1?

I have installed this today and now those fastboot commands don't work. Fastboot boot fails with the error (unknown command). Any idea about how to install TWRP in this scenario?

Where did you get the zip?
Play store has to be authorized and added, Google Pay that is, play services for the device/region. That way it will pass safetynet. If it doesn't include the safetynet info, when you try to use it, and verify, it fails. It takes awhile often for them to get it working.

You can't. Currently there's no working twrp for Android 10 open beta.
Yes, officially, no TWRP, firmware is updated/changed, plus fastboot boot is often disabled on these builds. Also, it will fail Safety Net, so no root, no twrp and no GPay....Android Q is a bust so far. There are TWRP for Guacamole, I tried those on the Chinese version, ended up hosing my phone..finally got it back working and back on stable 9.0.17 and rooted/twrp. I'm guessing we will need another month at least to get a stable/working Q for 6T, and TWRP/root.
In h2os 10...twrp 3.3.1-8 works
Personally used

how did you manage that? did you manage to flash twrp? or did you manage to root the phone without it?

1. Extract boot.img from OnePlus 6T Android 10 Open beta
2. Download magisk manager apk on OP6T
3. Place boot.img file on OP6T storage, and click "install" in the magisk manager app. There are two options, direct and one that will let you choose your boot.img file.
4. Place new modified file from downloads folder on OP6T back onto computer
5. Boot OP6T into fastboot mode (must already have unlocked bootloader, or this next one will not work!)
6. run "fastboot flash boot /location/of/file"
7. Profit

I tried the A/B Magisk TWRP retention script...and that didn't go well when I tried it.
Tried the fastboot method per your thread, that didn't work. Then tried the Magisk method and install, then select patched file, reboot, Magisk says it isn't installed and ctsProfile fails Safetynet.
Thanks

Same, tried both methods and also got stuck on boot loop.
Tested the thread HERE and it worked for me I have the phone rooted without TWRP.
I already had the Magisk apk installed on the phone and flashed the img as mentioned in the thread and it worked.
To whom it may concern. I followed this method and it works flawlessly.
1. Magisk Manager > Tap "Uninstall" > Tap "Restore Images" (DO NOT REBOOT)
2. Now Run the System update to download and install the full OTA zip (DO NOT REBOOT)
3. Close all background apps
4. Open Magisk > Tap "Install" > Tap "install" again > Tap "Install to Inactive/Second Slot (After OTA)"
5. Finally tap Reboot after Magisk installation is complete.
Finally just gave up on TWRP and did the normal OTA procedure above, then patched inactive in Magisk. Now rooted, just no TWRP.
So the above works, just make sure you have the right full Android Q from the official thread and follow the above.

Sure,
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install Magisk Manager - Magisk - Install - Select the boot.img When finished.
3. Reboot to Bootloader and flash the same boot.img file.
4. Boot OOSQ with Root.

DM me if you couldn't get boot img file.
I'm getting some error uploading here.
