I just flashed January Factory image...standard process as past months. Same platform tools, same TWRP. Magisk v18. ElementalX v4.10. Up and running. Root works fine. Experimenting with BlackenedMod3.0 now. But all seems to be fine on this update so far. Good luck to all.

TWRP just booted of flashed?
The last update I heard about bootloops when flashing recovery and magisk 18, atm I only boot recovery to avoid any kind of problem. For you works fine?

I have always just booted TWRP - I never have flashed it. Sorry for the confusion.

Has anyone been able to root the January update with Magisk?
UPDATE:
I haven't had any boot loop issues after updating, flashing TWRP, and routing with Magisk, so I thought I would post my steps:
Note: My bootloader is unlocked.
Before updating, I flashed the Magisk Uninstaller zip.
Once completed, I rebooted to bootloader and flashed the January factory image (saving data) > booted TWRP > flashed TWRP > rebooted recovery > flashed Magisk 18.0 > rebooted.
I haven't had any boot loop issues.
Magisk is installed and passes Safety Net check, but I wasn't able to grant root privileges for apps right away. It took a while (5 minutes) to get the prompt to grant root privileges. Finally got the prompt and now everything seems to be working correctly.
I hope this helps someone!

Does anyone have the January pre-rooted boot.img?

Not handy anymore, I deleted the .zip once I updated. But you should be able to grab it from the Factory image .zip readily available on the Google Developers site.

I need it pre-rooted. I'm trying to root someone else's phone for them and would be easier to just be able to flash it than transferring, using magisk manager, then transferring back to flash.

Sorry - my mistake - when you said "pre-rooted" I took that to mean "before rooted" - meaning the stock boot.img. Unfortunately, I do not have the Magisk rooted boot.img handy. But, it only takes a few minutes to root using the standard process with Magisk....might be quicker than waiting for a response to your request??? Just a thought...good luck...

Supersu abort on 7.1.1

Chainfire has stated before that root with SuperSU on 7.1 may be a while, that he's working on it but a lot has changed (at least I read this all from him on a Pixel related thread...I assume much of it holds true for 7.1 in general).

Oh thanks. I've seen others talk about rooting on 7.1 no problem. I'll have to do more digging I guess
I rooted the 7.1 DP 1 With supersu SR1-v2.78.
No issues at all (even A.R.I.S.E. worked after deleting audio_effects.conf)

Did you root after flashing the ota or full image? I've been trying sr1 and for whatever reason after the ramdisk patch script it fails.

Interesting...maybe he was exclusively referring to the new Pixel partition structure, etc...Not sure. Good luck
I was able to flash SuperSU R1 from TWRP and it worked, but when I added SUHIDE it hangs at boot animation. I flashed the factory image file by file, and not the OTA.

I seemed to forget to mention that i backed up my data with titanium backup, flashed, then wiped, and then restored it. So in the end, you probably need to wipe (just like you did)

Magisk hide just hides Magisk itself... it doesn't do anything for root. As for PoGo, right now the only way to do that on 7.1.1 is to NOT be rooted.
Once the kernel sources for the 7.1.1 are released, this patch will make its way onto custom kernels, which means you'll still be able to edit /system while rooted, unroot, and keep the changes via the patched kernel, as well as bypassing the SafetyNet bootloader check.
A kernel does exist now with that patch (francokernel), but it is based on the 7.0 kernel sources, so some things are broken if used on 7.1.1.
In re: to the superSU ramdisk install failure, this will happen if there are old files left over in /data from a previous magisk install and/or patched boot images. The SuperSU installer script will detect those and step into code branches that it doesn't need to be in, and thus fail. The solution is deleting the offending files from TWRP w/ adb, and installing SuperSU zip again.

Thread cleaned a bit, please stay on topic.

Works fine for me flashed 7.1.1 OTA then flashed SuperSU zip

May images are up. (SU may be broke)

Three again. Verizon, Dutsche and every one else. Flashing now.
So far full images only, no OTA.
OTAs are up too. Anyone see a change log or know if TWRP and SuperSU are working?

I am still investigating, but it would seem SU is not working.
I ran flash-all.bat after removing the -w
Boots and runs fine.
fastboot booted twrp RC1 and flash SU 2.79 SR3
It is sitting here bootlooping now. I have reflashed and tried a couple of times. Same result.

Thanks for taking one for the team. It felt like something was going to fail based on comments about rooting the developer preview.

Not sure what another build of 7.1.2 has to do with ODP1. Plus, SuperSU v2.79 SR4 w/delay works on ODP1 after some dual-slot magic.

Just was a gut feeling that whatever was going wrong in the developer build would somehow been implemented in the May build. I am sure they are unrelated, but that was why I asked before the OP was updated to include the SU break.
The VZ OTA will download if you set the date to May 4th.
just checked my phone and got Verizon update without changing date
My OTA for Verizon didn't hit yet. And moving the date forward didn't help. Hopefully soon.

I sideloaded n2g47o ota, there were no errors but it didn't seem to take. Still shows n2g47e as the build. Something must have went wrong. I will hold off on trying again for now.

[JAN 2018] - Pixel/Nexus full OTA and factory images

https://developers.google.com/android/images
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Has anyone flashed this factory image yet? Does it break TWRP and/or Magisk?
Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
I haven't yet, but expect it to break things if you flash it like that. Though if you sideload and update from a factory image it'll do a full wipe unless you edit the flash script.
Tentatively the following process should work:
- Flash factory image after removing wipe flag
- Boot TWRP image
- Flash TWRP zip
- Flash kernel
- Flash Magisk
Everything should work normally at that point.
Wouldn't the OTA not work since the system has been mounted via TWRP? Flashing the factory image should update fine and OTA shouldn't be needed (unless I'm wrong).

This was my understanding as well, but if you're side loading the full image, then it probably wipes everything and you have to nandroid backup/restore. Just a guess at this point though. We need a guinea pig.
Here's what I did. I uninstalled Magisk using the uninstall.zip. I flashed both stock boot.img and dtbo.img. I adb sideloaded the OTA which was walleye-ota-opm1.171019.013-5ccf0b20.zip approx 1.1 gig. I'm updated to Build OPM.171019.013 Jan 5 Patch.
I then flashed TWRP.img, installed TWRP.zip, then installed Magisk 15.2.
If anyone has an easier method. Let me know!

Here is how I updated: [DEC 2017 to JAN 2018 Update] How I updated successfully
So far only one report of receipt via OTA? I had to sideload Dec, really hoping to just get these OTA going forward.
I've found that using old ADB tools will not flash the factory image properly. I was using a tool that an XDA member provided that had adb binaries from 2015 and kept getting errors when trying to use the flash-all.bat from the factory image. If you guys get stuck with something, update your adb and fastboot tools from the latest platform tools. It will save you a headache. If you want step by step instructions of what I did, I can provide them.
Hmm, I'm failing SafetyNet now.

Magisk on Oreo

I can't seem to install Magisk 16.0 via TWRP 3.2 on the Oreo update. It installs, but enters a bootloop. Why is that?
Also TWRP said cannot mount /data. How to fix this?
"Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)"
Also cannot format data this way
EDIT: Installed Magisk 16.4, no change. Also just realized that internal storage is inaccessible.
I upgraded and got in a bootloop. Then I remembered I had Nougat substratum themes active. Only way I got it booting is by factory resetting it.
As for installing magisk with root access, you can try the TWRPless method. I got it working on mine. All you need is the stock boot image and a computer to use adb.
Steps on installing magisk on Oreo:
1. Put the boot image somewhere you can easily find it for later use
2. Install the latest magisk manager apk on your phone
3. Enter magisk manager and install magisk (root) using the "patch boot image" method.
4. Send the patched boot image to your computer
5. Now reboot into bootloader
6. Now on your computer install the patched boot image using fastboot flash boot "patched boot image"
7. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helped you out. Good luck

For anyone who tries the above method and has their fingerprint sensor stop working as I did, use a root file manager to remove the following directory/file:
/data/system/users/0/fpdata
/data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
and reboot.
Certain modules required me to delete those files again, and some others broke the fingerprint functionality until they were removed and I rebooted twice. I hope someone can find a complete workaround soon.

Already tried. Bootloop also, probably since magisk manager used v 16.0 instead 16.4.
I noticed that 16.4 actually signed the boot image using test keys, as opposed to the 16.0 which didn't.
I'm a bit frustrated here man
EDIT: I have substratum but I don't have any of the themes active, so the first one is a go. Installing magisk however...

That was the first thing I tried, in fact. I have to use magisk 16.4 as well or else the fingerprint reader refuses to work no matter what. You haven't run into this issue at all? What's your setup if I might ask, and did you patch the boot image from the oreo update zip to install magisk?

I just watched a video tutorial to root it and keep stock recovery. Another thing to take note of is that I upgraded to Oreo using TWRP instead of stock recovery (yes, I didn't think it was possible on this phone).
Once I upgraded to Oreo, it reverted back to stock recovery. As you read above, I got stuck in a bootloop because I had substratum themes active, but I fixed it by using the stock recovery to factory reset it. (It's also nice to factory reset after a major OS upgrade so that you don't encounter any problems with old files)
If anyone's interested in a video, here's the one I watched:

So you did a factory reset and magisk is working properly? I can boot twrp without installing, but still no go using that method. Yes, I also used TWRP to install oreo, I didn't think it was possible either, but it finished flawlessly. Except the magisk thingy.
Can you mount /data in TWRP after oreo?

To answer your first question: yes, I did the basic setups, restored my apps and then installed magisk the way I explained above.
Secondly, did you try installing the latest TWRP? Because I didn't want to install TWRP until I have the stock recovery and TWRP with the latest Oreo kernels.
I saw this morning that shakalaca uploaded TWRP with the latest kernel, so I boot it through fastboot and saw that by default the following partitions were mounted: /recovery, /data, /cache. I tried /system to see if it works and it does.

Also tried live-booting TWRP and installing magisk (leaving stock recovery), left the boot.img unpatched
Installed the latest TWRP, the /data and internal got mounted, but after flashing magisk, bootloop again (still bootlogo after 10 minutes) even after wiping dalvik.
Cache is unwipeable somehow, is this an issue?

So, I just realized I've been sending the wrong link to everyone so far. (It sent you to the "old" folder)

Yes, I searched through my history and then found out that you gave me the same link, so thank you. Updated my 2nd to last post about the condition... Do I REALLY have to factory reset? Sigh...

I don't know man. I was just running the latest release of TWRP at the time and it somehow installed it like any custom rom.

How did you manage to update via twrp? I get an error when I try it.

Yes, actually I just did update via TWRP, it installs flawlessly. HOWEVER, it only applies to the Oreo ROM, not the N or M ROMs. N and M needs stock recovery (the boot.img contains recovery too)
I was able to reflash the update via twrp by modifying the update script a bit (spat out errors about the twrp recovery having a more recent build date than the update zip) Everything seems so far so good! I haven't had issues with my fingerprint yet.

Did you install Magisk though?

EDIT: apparently it's this one, isn't it?

Also tried live-booting TWRP and installing magisk (leaving stock recovery), left the boot.img unpatched
Installed the latest TWRP, the /data and internal got mounted, but after flashing magisk, bootloop again (still bootlogo after 10 minutes) even after wiping dalvik.

How to install Root and TWRP (Unofficial) in Android 10 for the OnePlus 6T

I've been stressing all day to fix my 6T. I wiped my phone countless of times and every time I flash TWRP and magisk after, I lose WIFI. I don't know how to fix this, it never happened before. I tried resetting it in settings, nothing happened. I really need WIFI as my data is literally finished. This was after I clean installed 10.3.0. I literally have nothing in my phone and my data is backed up thankfully.
I have found a fix for this. If you have updated to 10.3.0 or new update or going to. Install it via download or local upgrade. and follow this method. Once I followed this method, my WIFI was fixed.

3. Still in Magisk Manager, Install (next to "Magisk is up to date") > Install > Install to inactive slot
4. Reboot
As an update: This method worked when I updated from 10.3.0 to 10.3.1. Everything was working fine.
There is an issue I have found. This method will make your system to boot into slot b, it still works as normal.
But if it bothers you that its slot b and not a, just redo the method again. It worked for me
Hey, thanks for crediting my post. I didn't know this would help with anyone's WiFi issue but I'm glad it did.

Yeah, I literally been trying for hours to find a solution online to no provail. Luckily I found your post and I used it as a last resort. I was about to give up at that point. Your method is quite good actually, I can install a new android 10 update, TWRP and magisk at the same time. and reboot with everything there. No more repeated reboots for TWRP and magisk
Same problem
Could not turn my wifi on, couldnt place calls, snap pictures, set alarm. Im so glad i found this post, because it did help me and I didnt lose any data. I was already rooted.

Yeah, I honestly haven't found any posts about this. I just used the method as a last resort, I was honestly planning to give up and move to IOS ?.
Installing the 10.3.0 again via local upgrade will just remove TWRP and magisk, but if you follow the method you'll get TWRP and Magisk installed with WIFI working . I thought that using the old method from Nougat, Oreo to Pie would work with Q/10. Nope, now we have found a way to have root with verything working

Flashing Custom Kernels will fix the wifi issues,
I'm using BluSpark Kernel.

Ok, I didn't know that. But I don't use custom kernels tbh, I like to keep my device close to stock. I just have root, magisk modules, swift black stuff, TWRP, rooted apps which just improve the device and that's fine for me. I'm glad that it worked for you

I'm confused, how are you flashing from Magisk Manager?

You can flash TWRP zip in modules. You press on modules, click on the plus button, find your TWRP zip file and press it. Then magisk will flash the zip, but don't reboot

Hello everyone. I'm back. I'm gonna install 10.3.1 on my 6T. I'll try the method and let you guys know
@Extreme_Ninja2099 - How did you get on?
Cam we go straight from a rooted 9.0.17 to rooted 10.3.1 using the above mentioned method?

Its at the start of the thread. The method worked from 10.3.0 to 10.3.1. But my slot changed to B. I changed it back to A by re-doing the method again. Everything is fine with 10.3.1.
