Help installing Magisk su - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Rooted (super su) and ElementalX kernel, nougat 7.1.2. I want to use viper4android and having problems (driver installs but it doesn't work). I read that installing magisk su might work better but I get an error every time I try. Super su is systemless and guides are saying it should work just to flash the zip of magisk but it isn't working. Is there anything I need to do? I also have poweramp installed which may be messing with viper4android but I'm a bit lost. Any help would be great.

Are you trying to install Magisk on top of SuperSu or in place of it? Also, you are using the version of Magisk that was modified for the Pixel, not the official version, correct?

I'm going in place of SuperSU, I think you've nailed my issue though....I didn't know there was a modified version

Questions about the OP3

I got my OP3 1-2 weeks . before i had a S4 (rooted). I'm really happy with this phone but i got some questions and problems.
1. When i video call via skype the camera will freeze in 50sec. when I switch the camera to the back and front it's fixed for 50 sec again and same thing happening again....
2. Rooting the OP3 is it safe to do ? And does someone got a guide for it ? I saw allot off them but I don't know which one works for Oxygen 3.2.1. I got some rooting experience with the S4 but rooting op3 is kinda different.
3. When i got a rooted op3 without a custom rom. Do i still get updates via System updates in the settings ?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for reading.
1. Don't know
2. Yes, https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...nlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-nandroid-efs

3. Wrong, with systemless SuperSU and/or systemless Xposed you still get OTA updates.
Proof: Myself (have the 3.2.1. OTA Update ready to download with systemless SuperSU and systemless Xposed.

Seriously? I've been told several times installing a custom recovery and OTA is a no go...
But thanks, I'm still stock but I don't know for how long. I'm still a flashaholic inside.

You are right that you will get a prompt for upcoming OTA updates.
But they won't install because your kernel and system are not stock.
My device is also rooted systemless and I can confirm that you will get an error inside TWRP
when trying to install the OTA patches.
When rooted, regardless which way, it is always necessary to flash the full rom zip.
So in the end @J_Dutch was right to say that you won't get updates
because you will always have to manually flash the full rom.
On the other hand, when somebody only uses TWRP (for backups for example) without modifying the system and kernel at all,
OTAs will work just fine.

Oh thanks, I didn't know that, I would've flashed it via normal OTA after work otherwise

Have to flash SU systemless

It seems there would be a problem in flashing normal downloaded SU and have to go through the long process of flashing systemless SU after which have to upgrade it.
Is it normal for you guys too?
How come 1+3 bricks after installing normal SU?
b.t.w. personal note: thanks to one of the oneplus rep that was in the euro tour in Rome the TWRP recovery fix worked (sorry forgot your name ). Really appreciate the chat and help out!
No, i downloaded normal su (SuperSU) and then flashed it through TWRP. I don't know which su you are using, but there are loads of us who have installed SuperSU without an issue.

You may have the wrong flashable, flashing supersu on the OP3 for me is very quick and painless. Make sure you have the latest from chainfire's website v2.76 at the time of me posting this. : http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
PS: regular supersu is both systemless and "normal" root it makes a decision during installation determining whether your device can support normal root and if not then it does a systemless boot.img patch.

You beat me to pointing him to it. If I can add, there's a dedicated SuperSU thread to seek help if SuperSU causes an issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Highly unlikely but just in case. If you are not sure, there are sufficient number of toolkits out there that can simplify the job for you.
@tropicanapure @StykerB
Have tried them the only way I can flash SU is downloading @ahmed_radaideh 's oneplus3 toolkit and then flashing his SU. Tried the normal version and the problem seems to be present (brick), yes chainfire's su. If I don't want to do full wipe I'd have wipe system and just reflash stock and then systemless su

Then you may want to check the process y you are using for this.
If I can ask what exactly are you trying to fix? Do you already have SuperSU installed? And you are trying to move to systemless?
Or are you unable to install SuperSU itself? If yes, then you may want to post to the SuperSU thread too.

I had no problem in installing it systemless, however just wanted to see if everyone else had to go through the same process. It seems not, now I'm trying to find out how come I can't install normally.

You still haven't mentioned the process you use[emoji6]
The process most commonly used via TWRP is to download the zip from the link above and flash it. That's all there is to it.

Assuming your bootloader is already unlocked beforehand, the straight answer to your question is yes, that's how most of us do it.
No problem with flashing SU whatsoever,
and i rather not to use any toolkit to flash either recovery or anything,
fastboot for recovery and recovery for anything else,
Simple, straight and safe

Help With Root

I'm a little lost on Root for the Pixel XL. I am currently running unlocked with Screw'd ROM - 3.1.2-****ery-20170712-1454. This is a BETA, but has been running really smooth for the last 2 days.
Security Patch Level - July 5, 2017
Vendor - NJH47D
Last time I tried to apply root while running PureNexus the phone continued to boot loop and I had to eventually flashall.bat and start over.
1. What version of SuperSU should I be flashing? The latest and newest or is there other versions that work better?
2. What are the correct steps? Is wipe cache/dalvik necessary before? Do I need to install anything on the phone beforehand?
Boot to TWRP, Flash SuperSU, Reboot? Easy as that?
I see this version being talked about a lot - SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR320170114223742.zip, but it isn't the latest available that I can see. The SuperSU thread states to install the latest version and using google brings me to many versions of SuperSU.
Lastly, after rooting will apps like SnapChat work? If not how to you bypass this?
So I just found some information after searching more. Some of it is dated. I currently have twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.0-0RC2.zip version for TWRP installed.
Is RC1 needed for root, and with what SuperSU version. Or which combination of RC2 and SuperSU work together?

When I was rooted I initially was using RC1, I think my supersu was V2.8? And no Snapchat, Pokemon go, and Android pay, etc, will not work. So a little work around for Snapchat, you need to log in first then flash supersu, or just go with magisk and enable magisk hide to make life easier.

Yeah I found the guide. It seems I need to flash stock image first before. So Magisk gives you the ability to root first, then download apps such as snapchat and still login if you use magisk hide?

Correct, downloading isn't a problem, but it'll just prevent you from logging in since supersu, trips safetynet

I read through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-stock-7-1-2-root-safetynet-ok-t3617347
Seems pretty straightforward, however currently I have a ROM installed I'm really liking. To do this I would have to flash back to stock image, then go through the root process. My question would be after rooting, if I went to flash Screw'd again, doesn't it wipe everything and I would lose root again, then just have to flash it after the ROM?

Myself I've never been on screwd before, I would assume so, but in my experience the pixel XL is more complicated than my previous phones
If you just want root you shouldn't need to flash the stock image again. You would need to do that if you wanted to flash a custom kernel but not for root. You need to download the modified version of Magisk for the Pixel XL. The official version doesn't work on the Pixels. I'm not currently rooted as I went back to stock but I was using Magisk. At that time the latest version wasn't stable but it might be fixed now. You need to boot into fastboot TWRP, flash the Magisk zip, flash the TWRP zip and then boot up. After you are booted up you install the Magisk Manager app. The tricky thing is installing the right version of Magisk Manager that works properly with the unofficial build of Magisk that you are using. You can get more information in the Resurrection Remix rom thread which for some reason is the official place where the modified version of Magisk is hosted if you can't find good info about which combination of unofficial Magisk and Magisk Manager you should be using. Also when I used Magisk you needed to enable core only mode for it to pass Safety Net but that may no longer be the case. You should be able to find the most up to date info either in the thread you cited or the RR rom thread. Just remember that official builds of Magisk do not work on the Pixel. You need to stick with one of the unofficial builds.

I think I got which versions of magisk and magisk manager I need to use from the other thread I had posted earlier. This helps to clear some things up for me though. I have both the .apk and the zip on my phone now. Getting a bit of a charge and I guess I'll go ahead and try it.
It worked, I'm officially rooted .Thanks for the help!

Magisk installed on androidO but can't installed modules?

I successfully installed magisk by flash zip in twrp but fail to install modules.Is it because the module isn't for Oreo or because of the magisk framework?

I just flashed it through twrp.Maybe it has something to do with kernel elementalx that i have already installed. Even though magisk was successfully installed i can't open the manager sometimes and as you see i can't use any of its modules.
I do hope this will help.
I'm new to XL. From Magisk author in last post of this thread, XL isn't supported
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/page3
I used Magisk on 6P with Oreo....works great and easy. Not sure if it's ready for XL yet. I still have to unlock and then choose recovery method and root method. Although some are flashing trial TWRP versions, it seems that fastboot TWRP is still safest and mainstream method?
Then to root. It seems Chainfire SU is preferred method and it has SU hide option if you want Android pay? He does say the suhide method is probably temporary...
Do I have this right?

Viper4Android working on our device? 7.1.1?

Hey guys,
I want some help... Can someone tell me if Viper4Android (sound mod) works on latest firmware 7.1.1? ofcourse it needs root but has anybody tried it? Does it work... I want to flash it on my device, is it safe to flash it or will i get any issues like driver bootloop etc... If someone has tried it and failed or someone is just using it please answer to my query... Thank u
I have tried it yesterday and couldnt get it to install drivers. I am on lineage os i think it is 7.1.2 so i installed dolby atmos mod instead which works well.
@mhp1995 ,this zip include v4a with selinux fixes, which means you will get v4a working on enforcing selinux. You have to be rooted (I'm with magisk) and it is working flawlessly alongside arise sound mod. However, this is older version of v4a, because no one have enabled selinux support for new version yet (except using SuperSU or magisk module, but it isn't working on 7.1.1)
This might help:
Download the file from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120731031
Flash it
Then from system app remover delete both apps of XtremeMusic do not delete the v4a of course and then check if it works it should as you can see in the screenshot

Viper4android only work con superSU so might take that as step one.
If youre on magisk uninstall it and then flash supersu zip
Then flash the zip file from the link
Should work then.
