Couldn't install system update - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I am unlocked and was rooted with Magisk and the OTA OPM1.171019.013 tried to install and failed. I uninstalled Magisk thinking it might resolve the problem. It didn't. I have OPM1.171019.011 and would really like the update and reinstall Magisk to be rooted. Is there a way to get this update to install?

Look over this thread for problems with OTA's and rooting :good:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...ol-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3704761

I've got the same issue. it said failed a few days ago, now it just stays on step 1 of 2. read duce's thread but it's about his script, is there any way to get the ota to take?

Were your rooted or had custom recovery before you started?

Then that's why you can't take the ota. Need to be unrooted and on stock recovery for OTA's.

I had a look over there, and it looked a bit scary. I don't want to do the critical unlock. (I still have the stock bootloader) Instead I found another way that involved patching a factory image.
My steps where:
Download the latest factory image
Checked the SHA256, then unpacked the zip
Extracted the boot.img file from the image-taimen-<version>.zip
Copied the boot.img onto my device (adb push or drag and drop)
Used Magisk to patch it. (Install button, then "patch boot image file") (NB: The patched boot image is about half the size of the original. This is normal)
Copied the patched_boot.img back to my PC, and renamed it back to boot.img
Put the patched boot.img back into the image-taimen-<version>.zip replacing the original
Once I had modified system image, I then flashed my device in the usual way using flash-all.sh (NB: You need to remove the -w switch from the last fastboot command so that it does not wipe the user data).
The end result is that my phone is updated to the latest November firmware, and I still have root with Magisk.
Next month, I will try again with an OTA, but if that does not work, then the above process should be easy and reliable.

TMO OXC27.1 Oreo firmware

Anyone has the latest(released Feb 16th) oreo OTA full stock firmware from T-Mobile?
I tried pulling it from a logcat. Was going to fastboot flash it since I can't install it while rooted. Every url I found in the logcat gave me a 405 error though.
I got another Moto Z2 Force today. Fresh out of the box TMO. Came with the OCX27. I have not yet taken the update. If someone can guide me on how to extract the OTA That'd be helpful. Only thing I am willing to do so far with this new device is unlock the bootloader that's it. I will not root or install TWRP until I can extract the OTA and attempt to fix my other device stuck in an unknown baseband no IMEI state. I got there by attempting to install TWRP and root with Magisk.

Pulling the log through ADB will yield the OTA download link. That's how @joemossjr and I grabbed the Oreo update from nougat for TMO and Sprint.

It's hard to explain. You have to capture the moment the phone grabs the OTA file from Motorola's update website.
Enable developer options
Enable ADB
Plug phone up to a PC that has updated ADB binaries
Open terminal/command prompt
Adb shell
Logcat
After you do that your terminal of choice will start spitting out the log.
Run the system updater.
Download the OTA. At that moment, one of the logs should give you a VERY long URL. That's the download link you're looking for.
Copy and paste into your browser. You should be auto downloading it.
Done
Very stupid question, but I have to ask, because Moto is a bit wonky on bootloaders and updates, etc.
I'm currently on OCX27 and I've got the notification to download OCX27.1. I do have an unlocked bootloader and I am rooted with Magisk. Since I have not overwritten the recovery partition, can I take this update? On most other phones I have, I've been able to restore the stock recovery partition, flash the update, and flash TWRP back on, but on this Moto, I chose to boot twrp for loading magisk via adb. Make sense? If I'm not able to take this update, can I shut these update notifications off? They are already off in dev options.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am wondering, if I am on ocx 27 do you guys think the 27.1 ota will install in adb sideload as it won't install in ota and I am not rooted. Also, is there a way to extract the bin in the ota?

Did you get your second Z2 rooted and if so did you use magisk v16? I just got a Z2 today that is on the December 1, 2017 security patch, OCX27.1, Android 8.00 and I'd like to root but hesitant. I have already unlocked the bootloader, placed magisk and twrp-3.2.1-1-nash zip(s) in internal storage, and know how to fastboot boot into recovery, I just don't want to brick my new phone. Any help with step by step instructions once I'm in TWRP to flash magisk is greatly appreciated! Do I need to do any of the following: Keep system read only or allow modifications before flashing magisk? wipe data/factory reset, mount storage, wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? Thanks in advance!

All you need to do is grab the latest twrp img and zip file from twrp. Should be version 3.2.1-1
Then fastboot boot the img file, then once in twrp you want to flash the zip file, then when that is done reboot back into recovery
Then simply flash Magisk and reboot. Done.
How should I properly Flash Stock Firmware?
New to Moto phones and wondering what the correct method is for reverting to stock? I downloaded the 27.1 Oreo zip from this thread, do I flash it in twrp or should I flash it in adb from the bootloader? I get the following error message in twrp whenever I wipe dalvik/cache, try to install a zip, or do a backup which always says fail. I need a fresh install and re root, etc. Thank you!!

you can not flash with twrp. open the zip and see if there is a "flash-all.bat" file as well as adb and fastboot files. if not then pull them from one of the other flashall zips and add them to 27.1 zip. boot your phone to the bootloader, connect usb cable to your device and pc, then run the .bat file.

Factory reset gets the same error message shown in the attached photo. Thanks for the info, unfortunately I'm still a bit confused. Is this the only method to return to stock? I've searched but I'm not finding much and this method is completely new to me. In the past I've used Odin and LG up with my other devices, this is my first motorola. If I wipe internal storage in twrp will that erase the OS and need a new install? I am thinking that may clear up my issues but nervous that the phone won't boot up after that. Thanks and my apologies for my noob questions.

unfortunately other than manually fastbooting each img file to your phone this is the only way. check out this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/to-stock-roms-t3672859

Root pie Dec update (v10.0.2)

I got update from oero to pie via OTA today,
I tried many patched boot.img and root maunally by patching stock img but its stuck on boot screen.. Any idea??
Download the OTA, extract the images from the payload, flash the stock boot.img in both slots. After your phone boots you can download the latest magisk manager, use it to patch the stock boot.img that you already downloaded and use it to root your device.

What's mean " in both slots " ?
I tried to patch boot.img maunally but my device stuck on boot animations, So I flashed back stock boot.img into fastboot without root agian..
This is an A/B device which means that it has two slots for every partition (A and B). You need to flash the stock boot in the same partirion that it currently being used, flashing It in both is just to be safe in future updates.
Oh hey try this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dBX2dZV_wWgSip8d9lk0lrO_JHfxGdKU/view?usp=sharing
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't find it anywhere on this forum. I am also stuck on a bootloop after installing Pie update. I had Magisk installed and I've uninstalled it - didn't reboot. After, I've applied the Pie update. Didn't reboot. Went back to Magisk app and then did install - install to inactive slot. After that have a "nice" bootloop. How can I get the unpatched boot.img? Thanks in advance.

Download the OTA zip that is available here, extract the boot.img and flash it in both slots. After that you can easily patch the stock image with Magisk Manager and install magisk like you would usually do (direct install).

Unfortunatelly, it seems the link for the OTA zip was removed, so, phone will stay bricked thanks to the lack of instructions of how to update to Pie when Magisk is installed. Why do they remove the links?

First the server is down, nobody removed the file, you just need to wait for it to go up again. Second, you can easily revert your phone back to 10.0.1.0 and stay there, your phone isn't bricked and it doesn't have to stay in this current state.

I never had 10.01.0 installed. I was on Oreo and got the update this morning. I've followed the rule for OTA with Magisk and it was the wrong thing to do. If, at least, there was a warning to NOT follow the instructions, all would be sorted. Maybe I can find a link somewhere with this update, as I don't want to lose my data. On Xiaomi official site, the last rom available is version V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF. Unless I install this one back.

Is there an easy way to update an unlocked/rooted Pixel 3a XL?

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Pixel 3a XL as soon as I got it. But I've been unable to install the OTA and security updates since (September 2019). I've been digging around in the forum trying to figure out how to load the updates. I was really hoping Flashfire would work, but it gives me errors - something about the root not being available or right... but my root works for everything else I've tried (maybe its an issue with Magisk)...
Anyway, I was hoping to find a simple way to install the updates. Help!
Thanks in advance,
Tom

I have seen postings about people fastboot flashing back the original boot.img, then taking the ota then repatching the new boot image and flashing it via fastboot. Not as simple as you hoped i am sure but it works.
The other way is to download the full image, remove the -w option in the flashsall.bat and then run the modded flashall file. You then need to patch the new boot image as above and fastboot flash that to regain root. I have not found any other ways to get updates besides doing one of the 2 above every month
Thanks, adm1jtg! I appreciate the help.
Unfortunately, I tried the second method you mentioned on my own... but I missed the part about removing the -w from the flashall.bat. Faaaaaaaaaaaqqqqqqqq!!! And ended up wiping my phone.
But now I think I'll remember that -w trick! I love learning things the hard way. LOL
I'm still going to hold out hope that someone will come along and make an app like FlashFire to script the process for us.

Why wouldn't you just side load the OTA and be done with it?? Easy instructions where you'll download the OTA image. Easier than what your currently doing

Sideloading the ota would be a great option EXCEPT he said he was on a much older version... Like sept.
My understanding is that the ota for dec would only contain changes implemented for the month of December, this in this scenerio he would not get the patches for October and November with your method and i am not even sure if it would boot after that mismatch
It's really not saving much work if any over flashing the full version, and with the full version they're is no potential for bootloop due to missing some patches or updates. It's just much safer.

The most simple way to update while keeping root would be to follow the instructions for "Devices with A/B Partitions" at the following link in the Magisk documentation:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation
Basically, Magisk allows you to restore the original boot image to the current partition so you can take the OTA when it arrives on your phone. Before rebooting you install Magisk to the inactive slot so that when the phone restarts you retain root without having to mess with Fastboot.
Delete Me!
Think all you have to do is click uninstall magisk, dont reboot... Take ota, but before reboot click install magisk/ install to empty slot...
Oops didnt see the reply above
OK, so when this month's security update came out, I tried to following the Magisk instructions (uninstall Magisk, restore stock boot, flash OTA, etc...) but when I went to uninstall Magisk and restore the stock boot, it tells me there is no stock boot image to restore! Dammit. Now what?

This should be a one time issue. One of the latest versions of Magisk changed the default location of the boot.img backup. They released it in December after most of us had already upgraded to the December Pixel update. This means we used the older version of Magisk when we installed the Dec update and it saved the backup to the old/original location. We then updated Magisk sometime later in December, but the Magisk update doesn't move the backup file to the new location (a poor execution from the Magisk team IMHO). Because we are now on the updated version, it expects the boot.img backup to be in the new location, but it is still in the old location and Magisk doesn't check that old location (again, a poor execution from the Magisk team IMHO).
To fix this you have several options.....
Option one is to find the original backup location that Magisk used for the boot.img and move it to the new backup location that Magisk uses. Unfortunately, I don't know where those backup locations are and didn't feel like researching it, so I used one of the other methods.
Option two is to "reinstall" Magisk (choose the patch file option and select the stock boot.img that may still on the phone from whatever the last update was (if you sideloaded the update and then had to rerooted the phone)- or download it from the applicable factory image and move it to the phone) to force Magisk to backup the current boot.img file to the new location. Stop after this initial step (ie you don't actually need to flash the patched file because it has already been done). Then you should be able to follow the normal Magisk update process to move to the January update.
That being said, I have horrible success being able to take the updates OTA (they usually fail) and usually end up sideloading the update. That is the final option - sideload the Jan update and then reroot the phone using the normal root method (ie getting Magisk to patch the stock boot.img file and then flashing the patched file).

Issues with lastest OTA update

Hi,
I use a RMX2063 since last month, rooted with the TWRP method I found in this forum since day 0. I tried to install the lastest OTA update, that was released last week (RMX2063 _11_A.22), but I have issues to keep magisk working.
Either I do a clean install or a dirty flash, I enter into a bootloop every time I flash lastest magisk version (20.4). Otherwise, the phone works OK if I reflash the OTA and use it without rooting.
Any solutions to that, so I don´t have to downgrade the phone?

It doesn't work. In order for me to get root afterwards is to flash the latest for rmx2061, extract the boot.img, modify it with magisk and flash the modified boot.img afterwards

First of all, thx for the quick response.
I think I already tried that, you mean flashing the modified boot.img via TWRP? (install -> install image -> "boot")?
After that I had another bootloop ("system image is destroyed" realme message)

I think I already tried that, you mean flashing the modified boot.img via TWRP? (install -> install image -> "boot")?
After that I had another bootloop ("system image is destroyed" realme message)

I was actually referring to flashing via fastboot.

The phone enters bootloop anyway (system destroyed), but thank you anyway @mepadiernos. Any other idea?

Hmmm, I do remember that the twrp provided here for the Realme 6 Pro breaks encryption after I upgraded to .27 so I had to flash the .20 for rmx2061 via stock recovery. I had to put the ozip in the microsd. I believe that will factory reset the phone. When it does I went through the process of setting up my phone sans root. I installed magisk manager and proceeded to patch the extracted boot image from the ozip, the update for the rmx2061, and flashing via fastboot. So, I have root but no twrp.

It doesn´t worked for me, buy, anyway, I´m planning to downgrade due to the very high power consumption. Nowadays the phone struggles to reach 3-4h screen on, versus the 6h I managed to reach on previous version. What do you guys think about it?

Question OTA OOS 1.2.3.3 AA Boot Image Needed

Just curious if anybody has been able to get the boot image from the incremental update of OOS 1.2.3.3 AA from Magisk ?
I recently got the boot image for 1.2.2 AA from someone using magisk so just wondering if anybody has gotten the latest.
oos 11.2.3.3 AA boot.img,you can patch it in magisk 22.0, then flash it via fastboot.

how did you get the image? You lose root after updating, since you need a stock boot image to update, and global is not updated on the website

Im pretty sure he was able to get it through magisk and installing an inactive slot to the latest OOS. and then got the stock boot image of 1.2.3.3 but i could be wrong lol
For what it is worth, I ended up not needing this, this time. I was able to use Magisk's Uninstall/Restore function and install the OTA. This OTA did not force a reboot, so I was able to go back into Magisk and reinstall to active and inactive slots before rebooting and all was good.

I did something similar, which is to restore the image in magisk manager, which requires a reboot to take effect. And after rebooting, I lost root, however, the update worked.
How am I suppose to reinstall magisk after that?

You do not need to reboot after the restore.

I did not know that. That is good to know.
Did you just restore the image, install the update, and then reinstall magisk with the OTA feature? or did you use another method

Yeah this happened to me.
All you have to do is update to the latest os and then download the boot image that's in this post and then go into magisk
And select file and patch
then move it to your pc
flash the patched boot image.
and then go into magisk and direct install

Yes, the image provided sure works. But I want to figure out how you can get the boot image yourself.
I tried to set my active slot to the inactive one, but I get nothing and it just reboot to the previous slot after a while.

Something is weird with the process this time, IMO... so after the OTA installs, I use Magisk to install to both the current and inactive slot.
Great information and useful site.
Hey guys, just to be sure.
Would I be on the right track for installing OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA on 11.2.2.2LE15AA OP9P AA:
Place OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA on root storage
Fastboot boot 11.2.3.3 "Root lost"
Install local upgrade of OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA no reboot
Magisk patch Direct Install then Magisk patch inactive slot, reboot.
Can anyone let me know.
Tx guys!
My question is how did someone get the boot.img from the OTA 11.2.3.3AA? I tried 3 different payload dumper and none extract the images.

I know that, I'm talking about the incremental OTA. The incremental OTA 11.2.3.3 AA is out. The full OTA isn't, how did someone pull the boot.img from the incremental OTA?

that makes sense actually. It's still weird that you don't need to reboot to get the boot image. But i'll keep that in mind. Thank you!
