Extreme Battery Drain with Magisk

Hi, I have a Pixel XL running 7.1.2 and running the April 2017 security patches. I had previously rooted using superSU, but decided to switch to magisk for its hiding abilities. Usually by 4 pm my battery is around 60 percent, but it is at 20 percent. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have any modules installed? Also, do you have the Magisk app battery optimized?

Have you tried uninstalling the Magisk Manager app, restarting and then reinstalling to see if that fixes it? I've been using Magisk for a while and never had battery drain from it so I'm thinking maybe a reinstall could fix whatever bug occurred.

Hello,
Are you using Magisk on stock 7.1.2 with stock kernel? If so can you tell me what your standard flash operation is? I am running stock N2G47E with April security patch now but with SuperSU and TWRP. I would like to move away from SuperSU and run Magisk but not exactly sure what is the best procedure to do so. After the recent SuperSU f-up I fear the new team may have alternate intentions. I suspect I will need to re-flash N2G47E (after removing the -w) to get a clean base but not sure what is my next step? I have always flashed TWRP and SU at the same time in order for both to survive. Can I also do this with Magisk as well or is there a conflict? Also which version of Magisk have you had the best luck with? I am losing root often on my N6 using V12, and I do not check Busy Box. I saw a thread where someone had a modified V11.xx they made but I can't seem to find the post now.
Thanks

I also forgot to mention that this is a Google store pixel being used on Verizon, therefore I have the Verizon versions of the firmware.

Go to settings/battery and see what's using the battery. May just be a rogue app you need to reset or uninstall. I'm using Magisk on Verizon and have no problems. When you say you're on Verizon firmware I assume it's the Verizon designated firmware from the Google factory image download site? I'm still on April NHG47K build so sounds like same version.

Rooting original 7.1.1 on Moto Z Play

Hi at all,
I own this device for two months now and I have read a lot about rooting and flashing. It seems to be quite difficult compared to my former Samsung and Xiaomi devices...
To avoid any kind of bricking my phone I wanted to ask if there's a way to root it. I (still) have a locked bootloader and I installed the latest update to 7.1.1 with 1st July security patch.
Is there any safe way to root and install TWRP (and afterwards some ROMs of course)?
Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

I have root on my moto z play with stock 7.1.1. if you don't downgrade you don't get bricked
To unlock and install twrp :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-root-xposed-flashing-stock-rom-t3529637
And to root use this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/how-to-safetynet-7-1-1-update-stock-rom-t3669086
To root is better with magisk ( second link)because don't break SafetyNet and the link is a tutorial made by me so if have any questions you can ask in the thread.

If you are in 7.1.1, unlock your bootloader, download TWRP of @Alberto97 version 3.1.1-0(https://dc4.androidfilehost.com/dl/...673368273298955814/twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img), flash it, download this kernel( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i8PfTQ1e-WQkZ5-zD52HzWO3LZ5luaq_/view?usp=drivesdk) and the attached Magisk.zip.
Now, after you flashed the TWRP through Fastaboot, enter into recovery mode, select INSTALL, select the kernel and swipe to flash it. Then go back, select the Magisk.zip file to flash and swipe to flash it. After you do it, just reboot you device and check if the Magisk Manager app is installed, if it is, then open it, click on "check safety net", tap OK and wait until it tests the root hiding, if it says everything is okay, then everything is okay.
Congratulations, you are rooted now with Magisk and the Hiding Feature, you can play Pokemon go as well and the same for Snapchat and that stuffs that blocks rooted users from using their apps.

Thanks for your response!
I've read that flashing a kernel when you're in 7.1.1 might cause problems. Did you try this steps being in 7.1.1 or they're just general steps?
In case you were in 7.1.1, did you install xposed after those steps?
Sorry if I ask many questions, but I want to be sure that I'll not brick my phone

no problem dude, i understand your concern, i'm just like this. Actually I was asking for help until last night and got all the answers.
flashing a kernel won't cause any problem since you do not flash any kernel but for your android version. The link i shared with you is a @logotoy73 kernel, he updated it last night and i used it. It's working properly and with no issues.
Today i've tried to install xposed, but due to the forced encryption in 7.1.1 it wasn't possible, even trying with the systemless xposed(magisk feature), maybe later i'll try again then i give you a feedback.
In magisk there are some xposed modules to be able to use it in nougat, but it caused me a bootloop.
If you follow exactly what i've said, you will be rooted in 7.1.1 in a few minutes!
Any problem you have, pm me so i could help you haha
good lucky

I just tried it and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much! You should make a post with those steps, I think it might help someone else.
Please, tell me if you manage to install xposed properly

I think creating a new post won't be necessary because kernel is already in @tomparr post, but in the last page of it, the twrp you cam download from Alberto's post, and magisk from the official thread(it's actually one of the most famous threads for now hahaha), but maybe if someone else have any issue with 7.1.1 i can create the post!
Edit. If i plan to try xposed again I tell you!

I have systemless xposed running on 7.1.1 with my kernel. After installing module xposed via twrp if a long start, helps reboot.

Only Magisk module. Normal XPosed would modify /system which would brick your device. And I don't know if that could be fixed

On the first site there is a tutorial linked, just follow it. Basically get rid of supersu first. Then the tutorial probably says that you have to install a custom kernel in order to just Magisk modules because the stock one is faulty. If you ask me that's shooting with guns on pidgins. The easiest way is to get the Magisk module F2FS loopback bug workaround. Google for it. When you have it and latest Magisk zip, go to TWRP, flash Magisk and the module, then reboot. Works perfectly, though you shouldn't ever wipe or format /cache because that's where Magisk is installed now, you'd loose it.

Installing Stock Recovery - data loss?

Hi All,
I am currently rooted via Magisk with TWRP installed. I am unable to install the Feb OTA update because of this mostly. I am planning to get stock recovery while keeping the root - question is if I do this via the AIO tool <https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3730226> - will i lose all my data?
Thanks,

If you want to take the ota, you need to be unrooted, and on stock recovery. You won't lose your data if your careful with the toolkit.

It used to, but not so much on this phone. Friendly advice for ya, learn how to flash factory images, and ditch the OTA's. Much quicker, and less room for error that side loading or waiting on OTA's. Just my opinion my friend ?

Hi badger,
If you are referring to steps laid out here - https://developers.google.com/android/images, then I can do it. Won't it still require me to be unrooted?
I am not that Tech agnostic - so if I am wrong, can you refer me to a thread where this is outlined. My only thing is that I get latest patches and still get to keep root without losing data
Thanks,
J2

Yep, that's the one. No, you don't have to be unrooted for it to work. You won't even lose any data once you learn the -w trick(you'll see) Here's a guide written by Flash, the kernel Dev Jedi Master. Look over that thread, and you'll figure it out pretty quick I bet ?

Welcome bro! Give em hell :good:

I can second this method. I flash factory images with root/unlocked bootloader. It is easy to do.

Update a rooted 3aXL to Android 11

Sorry if this has been asked before (I couldn't find anything) but is it possible to upgrade a rooted 3aXL to Android 11? Or do I need to un-root, upgrade and try a fresh root on A11? Thanks.

Download the full image for Android 11 then use either the flash-all.bat file (will do a factory format so beware) or adb sideload it.
Going to a new version of Android it's always recommended to factory format.
Either way you will need to re-root after using magisk canary

This is pretty much what I thought. So there's no way to keep root then :crying:

Cheer up @boominsko you act like you loose root permanently. After updating just do the patch boot.img thing. Make sure to use the latest Magisk Canary. Also make sure to switch to canary channel.

Haha! Yeah, it's not so bad. Just a bit of a pain in the backside to fiddle around with files and ADB etc. Oh well. Thanks for the advice though!

You have to redo root even after security patches every month. This is no different
