P2XL OTA + Magisk install before reboot = keep root - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Didn't see anyone else confirming that the Magisk OTA install works with Android 10, so... confirming that it does.
Let OTA finish but don't reboot.
Go to Magisk Manager and "Install" Magisk - select the bottom option (includes the OTA phrase)
Reboot
Profit.
No problems noticed in a half-day of use.

Did you do this from Pie or from Android Q beta? Also, did you uninstall Magisk from the manager before you did the OTA?

Anybody know if this worked smoothly with their Viper4Android app?

This worked form me going from Android 9 with Magisk to Android 10

I'm glad I waited and saw this before moving to Android 10. This worked like a charm for me as well.

Is your recovery stock? It may not be clearly stated as I haven't read the thread in its entirety, but the OTA will fail with TWRP installed. It likely will also fail if the system partition is modified.
EDIT: I re-read your post. You clearly note using TWRP.

How do you flash it, with flash fire, trough TWRP or from fastboot?

Factory image flash via adb using pc, then i boot to twrp and reflash kernel and magisk

Anyone know how to get the native led configuration without using a custom rom or the lightflow app?

Should I update Magisk and manager before I do this?
My Magisk installed is 18.1 and it lists 20.1 as available
Magisk Manager installed is 7.0 and 7.4 is listed as available

If you wanna follow the official instructions :

Yes this also works, this was the procedure i was following before, but i dont have twrp installed in my device, it causes bootloop and device sensors errors idk why so i fastboot it, once i tried updating by flashing ota zip via twrp but device didnt bootup maybe cause twrp is not installed so since that what i do is reflashing factory image without -w

do i have to delete the "-w" command only on the "flash-all.bat" or on the "flash-all.sc" too?

Download both files from my drive

Reboot. I personally turn off then manually turn device back on by holding power button.
When device starts back up install apk as it won't show after flashing zip.

Too late , topjohnwu released magisk v16.1 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589 Magisk manager isn't flashing for some reason so you have to go into the actual file path inside the zip. /common/magisk.apk and install it manually. The module devs need to update their code, but mine should still work.
Just noticed well If u need apk still it's in my drive along with zip
How do access your drive? I tried to go the Magisk route and it hung on the Google boot screen with the loading bar and eventually rebooted itself
can someone just provide the few steps in installing latest magisk?
I booted, then flashed latest twrp-3.2.1-2-marlin.img (making sure no security on phone)
then flashed latest magisk 1610
and didn't boot
now I'm stuck....

I did the same thing. I couldn't get it to boot back to my phone but I could boot back into TWRP. So I just wiped then restored a backup I had. Try that. Or worse case scenario just boot to bootloader and flash the factory.img again. That should over write anything you have on there now and allow you to boot successfully.

This may be a little late, but go back into twrp and flash the magisk uninstaller located in the official forum. Then reboot. Then reinstall magisk again

No.
are we fastboot flashing twrp after the beta OTA, or should that custom recovery still be intact?
loading magisk using the manager, or SU, or what have you?
finally, list of the files i should have on hand if things go wrong? have the may image if i need to re load that. ill try to find the P-DP2 image available as well, but I'm not sure of all the root files I'll need.

Also waiting for this. Just searched for it but it seems the full image files are not online yet. And I don't know if twrp or the ability to root will still be there if I just uninstall magisk via the uninstaller zip in twrp, and then install the OTA from today?
EDIT:
fastboot the full dp2 image
do set-up process (don't set a PIN)
fastboot twrp 3.2.1.2 img
install twrp 3.2.1.2 zip
reboot recovery
install magisk 16.4 (16.0 won't work)
done
Tested with adaway and it works fine. I expected it to be harder to be honest but I'll take it.

Magisk with android 9

I did a clean reset and installed a fresh android 9. So no root, nothing.
Anyways I install magisk 5.8.3 and then tried to patch the boot.img from the android 9 factory image.
But every time I select the boot.img and try to patch it, it says "Failed! ! Installion failed!".
How has everyone else tried to install magisk on android 9?

Not the way you are doing it. I boot to TWRP, without installing it and have TWRP install the full zip.
Hm I'll try this. Used to the boot patching.

Make sure your using 16.7 you have to change in setting to beta. Same thing happened to me trying to use 16.0
I get updater error :2 failed to install every freaking time. No matter what zip i use. 1600 1671 1674
After dirty flash (remove -w) Android 9 PPR1 then install Magisk 16.7, it seems I am not able to set PIN or any security... Anyone has the same issue?
I have the same issue TWRP also can't decript the phone. I am going to wipe everything, and fastboot erase userdata.

Don't wipe your phone! Just flash the new boot.img from the image file (not OTA file) and you will be able to go back to your Android system and disable the pin. After disable the pin, boot into TWRP and flash the Magisk from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77240449&postcount=2832
Hope this helps!

One of the other threads. Here's the twrp version though. https://dl.twrp.me/taimen/
Been having issues myself since updating to Pie yesterday. TWRP installed working fine. Installed magisk manager, set to beta channel. Rebooted into TWRP and flashed magisk 16.7, phone hanging at the lovely google logo page. I then have to run the uninstaller back in TWRP or i cant get the phone to boot. Anyone had this?

Yeah, rooting on P is a little tricky it seems. You'll likely have to run the uninstaller, then boot up. Then go back to twrp and flash this version of magisk. It's the 16.7(4) version found in the Flash kernel thread :good:

First, YMMV! Make backups, always.
Here's my process. It's worked for me for a good while now. My main goal was to do this all on-device, without using a computer or other ADB source. It assumes you keep TWRP installed.
1. Download the full OTA from Google. This is the one in a recovery flashable package, not the fastboot script one.
2. Download the TWRP installer.
3. Download the latest Magisk installer.
4. Turn off the screen lock. TWRP doesn't like it, and won't see the internal storage elsewise.
5. Boot to TWRP recovery.
6. Install the OTA zip via TWRP. DO NOT REBOOT NOW!
7. Install the TWRP recovery zip.
8. Reboot. I like to let Android boot all the way before I install Magisk. It may not be completely necessary, but I believe you have to switch the A/B slot in TWRP if you don't, before installing.
9. Boot to TWRP recovery again.
10. Install the Magisk zip.
11. Re-enable your security, including re-adding your fingerprints if you use them.
If you want to use an additional computer, just fastboot the full images after removing the "-w" from the bat file, fastboot boot to TWRP, then re-install TWRP (if desired) and Magisk.
Since October patch (rooted) I have massive problems my pc/my phone detecting my phone/my pc. I dont know why, its just charging, one time it worked (I need USB-Tethering) I was just restarting and restarting the phone, turning debugging on/off...
Any idea how to fix this?
edit: It just says unknown usb-device, I manually uninstalled and installed the latest android usb drivers. If I try to use an adb command it just says "error: no devices/emulators found"
Probably the worst security patch. My sensors aren't working properly, phone doesn't go off while i talk. It hangs at odd occasions. Battery is weak. Auto brightness isn't working either

Uninstall Magisk with the .zip from their site. Github here
Instal stock recovery like you did to install custom recovery.
Next, download the C.27 update and run it from the file manager. Phone will reboot and start updating
After update, just do the whole process to root C.27 version like for Android 9.

I tried several thins to install Magisk succesfully with no luck.
I received my Global x2 Pro this thursday and i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery. But when I flask the magisk 20.4 zip and reboot my device, i get an error saying that my boot / recovery partition is corrupt. I have to install C27 again from twrp and it boots up.
Can anybody help me how to install Magisk succesfully? It's driving me nuts. Also, i cant download the vbmeta.img from the OP. So i tried to extract the vbmeta.img from the c27 image to flash, but also no lucck
Edit: Finally having it working with the Orangefox recovery with the vbmeta.img. I thought that the link in OneDrive wasnt working, but it was my home networks which was blocking OneDrive. Problem solved!

Isn't it possible to install ota update from twrp? (I use mauronofrio). Is it mandatory to unroot, install C27 and then re-root?

It's possible if someone makes a flashable zip, though I dont know of that can be done for every phone. Otherwise you need a stock recovery to install the OTA.

Isn't it possible to install ota update from twrp? (I use mauronofrio). Is it mandatory to unroot, install C27 and then re-root?

Like @adsubzero said. Unless you have a custom ozip file to flash on TWRP, you need to have stock recovery to install a standard ozip.

In the backup options I don't see system, only system image. Does anyone else have this issue?

Android 11 is live.

Today just received update notification as below image. Downloading now, let see what are changes and improvements.
I'm enrolled in beta for Android 11 and got the September Security patch today. Will I get the stable release soon or should I opt out from beta and go for a fresh instal?

You are automatically switched to the stable release. Check in your "About" settings.

I have readed yesterday that, when Android 11 Stable is released, u can stay on beta program for beta features and experimental updates, also you can receive updates earlier than others.
Has anyone been able to successfully root using Magisk? I tried and bootlooped.
Edit: Magisk Canary works, but you CANNOT install TWRP as it hasn't been developed to work with A11 yet.

Are you using a custom recovery? TWRP does not work with A11 yet.
Extract the boot image from a factory ZIP and flash it in bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flash boot "boot.img"
Then, boot TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot "twrp.img"
And install Magisk using the canary zip. Please note that you do not use the quotation marks.
Alternatively, you can boot to TWRP and sideload the OTA, then reboot to bootloader, boot TWRP again, and install Magisk.

You must use the Magisk Canary zip on the stock boot image. Regular Magisk will not work.

Could you describe the procedure or write out the steps for rooting our device running on Android 11?

Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this method.
Start fresh, use the OTA or the factory image. I did this coming from Android 10 without wiping.
Download the Magisk Manager Canary APK and installer ZIP here
Download the latest TWRP image here, put it in your platform tools folder and rename to twrp.img
Using platform tools, reboot your phone into bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then, boot (DO NOT INSTALL) TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Install the Magisk Canary ZIP, reboot to system.
Yes I am using canary latest, and did everything as you explaining, still getting bootloop. But I will get done sooner or later )

+1 on this method, worked for me, thank you for the instructions
I'm also bootlooping. Did you solve your problem?
I installed through the OTA button. Of course, I lost root, so I followed the above instructions, but am stuck at the G loading.
The canary zip is magisk-debug.zip, correct?
EDIT: I overlooked that I had EdXposed installed with active modules and I don't think it works with Android 11 yet, at least not the modules I use (Gravity box). I'll try rooting again tonight with EdXposed modules disabled.

Yes, both the apk and the zip are named "magisk_debug".
I am not sure why you are bootlooping. If you installed the OTA, it should have overwritten /boot with the stock image, and flashing Magisk Canary should work. It is possible that if you had modules enabled before and didn't disable them, you could have issues.

I disabled the edxposed modules and still got stuck at the G logo. I'm not sure what else I could be doing wrong, but it's obviously me or my setup. I'm going to downgrade to Android 10 because the modifications I rely on from GravityBox are more important to me than the new features of Android 11.
Thanks for the help.

Anyone have luck downgrading from 11 to 10? I've tried several different 10 builds and I get "Error: Slot Unbootable: Load Error" in bootloader.
I used the same commands I always use to upgrade builds:
fastboot flash radio radio-walleye-...img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot update image-walleye-...zip
I can flash 11 again and all is fine, but I haven't been able to go back to 10.
