Hi guys,
Hoping my noob self can get some guidance here.
Basically i followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-stock-7-1-2-root-safetynet-ok-t3617347
But after doing so it seems that Magisk isnt working.
Is there anything i can do; installing a CROM, any work arrounds?
I've tried this as well but no avail: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/safetynet-fix-pass-safetynet-2017-07-17-t3637801

Google has just updated the play store, there is a topic on here with the commands you need to execute via adb or command prompt in order to get magisk working properly, but seems you already did that, what version of magisk and magisk manager are you using

I've tried it multiple times, even rebooting in between
The Pixel doesn't use the official version of Magisk so any instructions for how to get the official version working might not apply on the Pixel. For a while if you enabled core only mode in the unofficial version the Pixel would still pass Safety Net even though the official version had stopped working. I have no idea if this workaround still works or not since I went back to stock but if you haven't tried it yet its certainly worth a try. Since the official link for the unofficial Pixel version of Magisk is hosted in the Resurrection Remix rom thread and discussion of Magisk issues frequently goes on there as well you might want to check the later posts in the rom thread and see if there is updated info regarding unofficial Magisk.

Ressurection Remix is a custom rom? Do you know if it works with Pixel? Because i'm fine with installing custom rom its not a must for me to have stock

Resurrection Remix is a custom rom but there is no need to install it to use Unofficial Magisk. That's just where the official download link is hosted, probably because the dev has some link to that particular rom. But Unofficial Magisk is not included or integrated in any way into that rom--Magisk is downloaded and flashed separately from the rom and should work the same on that rom, a different custom rom or stock.
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------
As a side note there's nothing wrong with Resurrection Remix but if you did want to give a custom Rom a try I would personally recommend Dirty Unicorns or Screwed. They aren't hosted on XDA but don't let that bother you. A quick Google search will turn up where they are officially hosted and in my personal experience they are easily the best custom Roms available for the Pixel. That said, I went back to stock so I could try Android O and have stayed on stock so far.

That's true but it's probably temporary. The devs have been notified of that bug and they are usually pretty responsive. I could actually see Google changing their code to deny the unlimited original photo backup to Pixels that are altered--i.e. unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery or custom rom since Google has made it pretty clear they don't want people doing these things on the Pixel, but I haven't read anything that indicates Google has done this. But don't be surprised if they do it in the future.

I feel like the roms where it is working is just a matter of something NOT being changed in them and needing to find the delta but I agree I wouldn't be surprised if they look the stance of purposefully not allowing modded devices.

I'm not a programmer and can't say for sure but you might be right. I think the devs at Screwed (if I remember correctly) are the ones who say they create as lean of a rom as possible by removing useless code. They might have removed something they shouldn't have. It's still an excellent rom but that is a serious bug for people who rely on the photo at full quality backup feature and take a lot of pics.

Does anyone know if pixel xl will get a custom rom with Magisk built right in, like the Htc 10 has with Viper10 ?
I was checking out the Htc 10 forum and now Viper10 has Magisk built right in. Its really beneficial because you can disable the root with Magisk and take ota updates then turn the Magisk back on. This would make things so much easier for everyone.
I would love to see roms like Pure Nexus come with Magisk as that would be awesome.
I know its offensive to ask rom devs on roms they are building and or when they will be out and such, but maybe someone has heard through the grape vine and may be able to give a heads up on if Magisk could possibly be added to the coming customs roms for the pixel xl.
I think you misunderstood what that Magisk ROM is. It's not a ROM with Magisk built in. Magisk ROMs work like MultiROM on the Nexus 7 or 5 did and allow you to dual boot multiple ROMs. (In this case, HTC Stock and Viper)
Also even if somebody did make one, Magisk doesn't work on the Pixel devices due to the weird partition layout so you wouldn't even be able to use it.
We can already dual boot different Roms and kernels

I meant a rom with Magisk built right in. The Magisk is systemless root which you can turn it off and be able to take over the air updates because your system is 100% stock with the Magisk turned off.
I was talking about such as the new Htc 10 Viper10 4.4 rom with Magisk built right in to the rom. I would imagine it could still work with the dual partition Pixel XL and I was curious if any rom devs might be working on just such a feature.

That's what I'm saying though, a ROM with Magisk built in is completely different from that Viper thing from today.
The Viper ROM is a Magisk module for the devices existing stock ROM that replaces some files to turn it into a custom ROM (like the framework-res.apk)
You are asking for a ROM with Magisk preinstalled so you don't have to flash extra zip files.
Also, it wouldn't because Magisk itself doesn't work with the Pixel (the first known issue on the official Magisk thread and a post reply under that OP says until the creator of Magisk get's a Pixel, Magisk is incompatible with both Pixels so it wouldn't matter if it's preinstalled or you flash it, it wouldn't work. And not working means you can't even install a Magisk ROM like Viper.

I disagree. Magisk worked on the Pixel's earlier firmware. I used it to decrypt my Pixels. The O update killed it.

Okay one, that website has hundreds of fake how-to guides that are the same one and all they do is change the device/OS name so I wouldn't trust that at all.
Second, maybe it worked but my point is the official Magisk thread says it doesn't work on Pixels because the layout. Since you said it "decrypted" your Pixels, I'm pretty sure Magisk does do that before installing but Magisk itself didn't actually install.
Lastly, there's no such thing yet as Android O so I know you are either trolling or don't know what you are talking about. Not only is 7.1 still Nougat/N but the Pixel launched with 7.1 so it hasn't had a major update that could have killed it if it worked before.

It is AOSP based compared to LOS (CM) which the majority of the ROMs posted are.
DU is a great ROM. I found that it lacked some important features that I like, but a very solid ROM.

Encryption was not working, even with a full data format prior to flashing.
Any other opinions?
I have been running the weekly and official builds with nebula eas kernel for about 5 weeks or so. I personally feel its the best non-sense based ROM for my usage. It does lack some customisations most others have but makes up for it by being super stable, fast, battery friendly and just works as its supposed to with bull. I use superSU, substratum and A.R.I.S.E audio mod with selinux permissive without dramas.

It comes WITHOUT root. So you can choose your preffered method or no root at all.
I don't know about safetynet as I am not using android pay or anything that relies on it to pass.
Also I have not had any encryption issues as someone earlier replied

I've tried several combinations, with older/latest firmware.
Every time, It would ask for the encryption password on bootup.
Even if I haven't set one up.. With data format prior to installing

I have had that happen when switching from a sense based ROM to LOS or AOSP and it's a "pita"... Anything that I want to keep gets moved to my SD card before I reboot to recovery.
I read through several threads and tried several possible solutions so I can't remember exactly which one worked.
I am currently on Verizon, official Nougat with the flashed us unlocked "patch", TWRP 3.1.0-1. If you are on Verizon or Sprint you need to patch the image with a missing image that is found in the us unlocked model (there are threads discussing it where you can find the file).

There is a DU Oreo-based build for the HTC 10: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/?device=pme
For the time being it is under "RC". Downloading now, will report back!
Edit: ROM is very nice and is flying by. Only downside is that camera app is VERY slow... Also, woofer is not working (as expected).
What I like the most is that it is AOSP, i.e. no LineageOS stuff like AudioFX, etc. Customisation features are nice and the experience is close to Pixel with Stock OpenGapps. If the camera app is fixed, then this would be perfect (I believe it will, since this is the first RC release)!
Further notes: Capacitive buttons backlight is off by default (can't find any standard option to turn on, maybe with a kernel tool?) and notification LED does not work either. Don't mind for the capacitive buttons too much, but the LED is a real problem.

Raptorddd, it is not possible using xPosed modules or framework on MIUI based ROMs. I was merely answering the general question if it can be installed on the Redmi Note 5. That question did not ask for MIUI.
To make that clear once again to all other users:
- MIUI uses a special framework that does not allow working with usual xPosed framwork
- Oreo AOSP and LIneage based ROMs do install and work with xPosed.
I have never used Gapps on my Redmi Note 5. I have microG on all my Oreo ROMs based on AOSP and Lineage. The easiest are Havoc and Aosip, these happen to be the two best ones at this time (for me). I have packed the Google Sync adapters and all microG modules in two zip files that I can flash from TWRP. That way the somewhat tedious installation of microG is vastly simplyfied when changing ROM. Nanodroid in the thread includes items I don't want.

well lets say its a lite version of google play services.. means more battery and also i can feel more responsive and snappier once you remove it. the only thing i log in is my google account for playstore.. microg replaces playservices.. that has like 300 services and and maybe 20 are on. while microg has like 7 or so.. on and less then 20 services..
i just want longer battery and more performance.. with microG that guy said on link that he added the signature to miui 10. i have not tried it yet.. easy way is magisk module or in nougat roms that are deodexed... oreo is odexed so cant patch it.. they are working on a patch that woks on oreo.. also 9.0 pie has problems i assumed rom is deodexed.
Gapps is a major contributor to battery consumption, most of the services are calling home functions that ensure Google gets also the last bit of where you go and what you do. Google Play services ensures this still happening in particular when there are non-Google apps running. Over the years it has been developed from an acceptable application framework to ensure location, notification and app service functions to a heavy prying tool. It is important for Google, which that is why it's force updated.
Google is making app developers disabling apps functioning, if no Google apps are installed, even though the app would work perfectly fine without.
That is where microG comes in. It is a not always a 100% replacement, some apps such as Google maps work only partially with microG, though there are alternatives for almost everything. https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/setup-guide/microg/
Tried to flash Xposed today only via Magisk 17.1v
Ended up in bootloop for MIUI 10 Developer ROM.
P.S.- Reflash the same zip via Recovery to uninstall and get out of boot loop
Some are claiming Xposed v90-beta3 is working with MIUI 10 but i've tried and it just results in a bootloop or booting to TWRP.
Has anyone on here had any success with xposed and MIUI 10?
Doesn't work, I tried and it too ended up in bootloop.

As it appears StatixOS is going to no longer be maintained for whatever reason, I'm stuck with a soon to be outdated ROM on my, to me, expensive phone. So I have a simple question...
What ROMs are there for this phone? I'm aware there are some that aren't listed here, but I'm looking for one with the same features as Statix (plus some other features). I'd also prefer it if the ROM were official, as that tells me it's receiving proper support and likely won't be dropped for some time.

Stock is so good now days that a custom rom is not needed anymore.
Use the stock rom with a custom kernel and you can find find a few addons to your liking.

Unfortunately I don't find that to be the case - the stock ROM doesn't offer the options that I like, such as navbar/statusbar cust., custom fonts, and precise DPI control, among others. Addons and third party apps can accomplish a lot of it, but very imperfectly, being more prone to bugs and issues than the same feature built into the ROM itself.
After having given Bootleggers ROM a try, I was VERY unimpressed, running into issues with it just minutes after booting and, even later after setting some things up, facing frozen apps, UX not responding properly and some rather suspicious activity (such as it somehow knowing what email I originally logged into my phone with, despite doing MULTIPLE full system wipes prior to install and being the ONLY custom ROM that triggered a "Severe security alert" from google upon trying to sign in), I've decided to stick with StatixOS until the LineageOS devs get off their butts and make an official ROM for this phone, as the unofficial one doesn't support eSIM which is required for Google Fi. StatixOS has the features I want, it's actually stable unlike Bootleggers "stable" build, and GPay works on it.
Note that my gripes with Bootleggers and the unofficial LineageOS are not meant to say you're not working hard at making a ROM - it's entirely a subjective review, and as a ROM enthusiast I understand the time and effort that goes into making a ROM even run partially right.
Have you tried Dirty Unicorns?
Or stock with edxposed and GravityBox (this is what I am currently using and it has been working perfectly for the last 2 months)?
How do you get GPay to work on StatixOS, I have tried using Magisk hide but it still detects root?

It may be an isolated case, but I had all google play services modules hidden along with google pay and other google apps (just in case they talk to each other), along with the safety patch module from magisk.

I'm using the latest DU official for bonito right now, and at first everything was working wonderfully - except Google Fi is running into some issues on it where I can't send messages or make calls without being connected to wifi or enabling mobile data. I might reflash Statix, or I might just live with having to keep mobile data on when I'm not at home or work until they patch it up.
ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.

Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Looks so tempting, downloading as I type.
Quick check - for the updates in future, would we still need to wipe data before booting if already in the previous ProtonAOSP version .
Thank you for bringing love to our pixel series !
Love to know what you have changed to alter battery usage before i download it, every other 11 ROM drains like a bathtub, even at idle
According to the Pixel 5 thread this ROM passes safetynet w/o magisk. looks interesting. Downloading now!

Not booting for me. Stuck on splash screen. Clean flash of proton-aosp_taimen_11.2.0-gapps.zip on twrp-3.4.0-1-taimen then wipe data before reboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img (stock October). That booted it for me until he can update a fix. This ROM btw is phenomenal on battery life

Same, I've tried flashing/sideloading from Lineage 17 and stock P/Q/R. Stuck on splash for 10+ mins before I force reboot into bootloader to retry each time

Hello. Proton is incredible. Very fast, smooth and tenacious. Tested it from the first version. Thank you very much. I want to clarify something else for myself: Do I need to flash in both slots if a stock is installed?

No, you only need to wipe data if switching from another ROM.

I didn't do anything specific for battery; it's just that battery tends to be better on custom ROMs than it is on Pixel 2 stock, partially due to being less bloated.

My ROM reports a fake security patch level to SafetyNet so basic attestation will always pass. However, I've observed that Google has started to roll out hardware attestation for the Pixel 2, so I also modified the model name with an invisible character to revert it back to basic. The Pixel 5 name is not used.

Sorry for the inconvenience, the problem lies in a botched SafetyNet fix that was missed in testing due to not flashing all partitions. You can make it boot temporarily by flashing the stock boot image. A hotfix that boots out-of-the-box will be up shortly.

No, ideally the latest stock ROM would be installed in both slots beforehand but that's only because this build is missing firmware. A hotfix will be up shortly with the latest firmware included.
Nice, got gpay working with magisk.
Unfortunately stuck on splash after installing edxposed. This is definitely an unreasonable request but if xposed edge features could be built natively into the rom I wouldn't need xposed

Xposed will never be supported, you are on your own if it's broken. I wouldn't recommend using it because it can cause all sorts of weird bugs.
A hotfix update has just been released to fix issues with a botched SafetyNet fix that caused most apps using HTTP outside of a browser to break, including Google Translate, SMS/MMS, and many others. I've figured out a new way to fix SafetyNet that doesn't come with those pitfalls, so SafetyNet is still passing out-of-the-box and apps will no longer break. A bug with sensitivity in the Active Edge settings has also been fixed, and missing firmware has been re-added so there is no need to flash the latest stock ROM first.
Re-download v11.2.0 from GitHub for the fixes. I've decided to re-upload it rather than bumping the version because the previous SafetyNet fix was very broken and also caused boot failures if boot.img wasn't replaced.

Great work, and thank you for the fast updates. Really looking forward to using the ROM when I clean format next time. Waiting for Google to release the last Security patch in December before making the jump, don't want to clean install every month. I usually stick with a ROM for a few months at a time.
Just to clarify if anyone is confused: this is an Android 11 ROM, not Android 10. XDA DevDB has no option for 11 so I had to put 10. I've just edited the DevDB info out of the post now and added 11 to the header so there should be no more confusion.
I am testing proton, so far its fast, snappy, and stable, one word of caution for anyone who uses my recommendations. Do not patch the boot.img as I always recommended, this landed me in a bootloop. Once I wiped the device clean, and started over (installed ROM+GAPP), then setup the device, then once setup, reboot to BL/TWRP (ADB TWRP), and installed MAGISK zip version from within TWRP, it booted fine. It only has an issue if you patch the boot.img from within MAGISK itself then ADB the boot.img. Normally this is the only method I use, but it will not work properly with this ROM (which is perfectly fine as the zip works great and passes safetynet out of the box)!
This ROM doesnt have all the goodies I am used to, BUT its a VERY decent, and stable 11 ROM so I DO recommend users to at least try it if you are looking for a decent 11 ROM. Battery life for me is on par with 10 so I do not see any major show stoppers using this as a DD. I will run it for a few days and report anything found (if anything is found), otherwise, its great.

thank you very much for your assessment! I also find this rom to be very stable, snappy and the slight changes to the stock rom are very well thought out - next to perfect! big thanks to the dev krag0n!
I'm coming from an Android 9 Custom ROM and I wanted to switch to this, the instructions states that it should just be a simple flash. Should I still start from a clean reinstall of stock Android 11 or does flashing this come with that already?

Stock has battery issues, all other 11 based ROMS ive tested have hadthe same battery issues. So i was asking in case you managed to find and fix the issue, because Google so far hasnt
I'll give it a crack anyways and see what its like, cheers

fwiw, there is no evidence that Google has or plans to force hardware attestation on Pixel 2/XL. i monitor reports of these things over in the magisk threads, and as part of my own magisk module, and theres no suggestion it will happen to Pixel 2/XL, more likely it will happen with 4+ than the old Pixel 2/XL....
Ill probably change the fingerprint back to Pixel 2/XL and Android 11, personally i dont see the point of spoofing another device when the Pixel 2/XL is still officially supported...just my opinion, no offence meant

My Pixel 2 XL has been getting hardware attestation in all of my tests recently if the model name is set to "Pixel 2 XL". It's possible that I'm being A/B tested and most users don't have this problem, but either way, I haven't been able to pass SafetyNet without changing the model name because of it.
Either way, I've added hacks into the system in my ROM to avoid spoofing the model name while still defying hardware attestation and passing SafetyNet despite being on a mismatching security patch level. I agree, I don't want to change the model name just to pass SafetyNet, so I've been coming up with other solutions to avoid doing that.
