Anyone tried August patch? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I am surprised by the lack of discussion about the August patch. Has anyone tried it? Is it easily rooted withMagisk?
After the problems that I had with the July patch, I am hesitant about moving the August.

Installed and rooted my wife's P3 within a few minutes of release Monday. Factory image (no -w) method. Worked with no issues at all.

Just installed and rooted now (no wipe), and it's fine.

Completely forget to update until this thread. I just did my usual method. Restore images with Magisk Manager, do not reboot, OTA update, do not reboot, reroot with Magisk Manager to the inactive slot and then reboot.
Everything went fine.

I took the plunge thanks to the feedback here. Flashed, no -w. Forgot to disable Magisk modules before flashing. Thankfully no problem. Even have GravityBox running with no issues.

I've done the OTA update and it fixes the last month terrible battery life.
Back to 6/7h of screen on.
The rest I can't help.

Frequent freezes and hangs after rooting and installing twrp

So I followed the instructions here: http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-unlock-bootloader-on-galaxy-note-4/
Everything was great at first, but it slowly degraded. At first it was only occasional hangs, then it got worse and worse. I reinstalled with the retail cpa1 5.1.1 install, which removed root, and again everything was fine for a bit, then it got worse again. I'm on call for work and away from my computer for the day so I let it take the 6.0.1 OTA hoping it would fix the freezing problems, but nothing has changed.
What can I do differently to fix these freezing problems? I completely redid the instructions on that website hoping it would fix the issues, but the same thing happened again. Amazingly fast at first, then slowly degrading into frequent hanging or freezing. Thanks!

go install a custom rom like jasmineROM or EmotionOS, straight up stock can sometimes be unstable when you are rooted.

I can't even get it stable on full stock. I Odin'd in the Full Firmware for CPF3 in this thread: [Firmware] [Official] Firmware / Kernel / Modem / Recovery [N910VVRU2CPF3] by hsbadr which overwrote TWRP and seemingly removed all traces of rooting, yet the instability is still there.
It occasionally is giving me the error "System process stopped", occasionally is rebooting entirely, there have been a few times where it wouldn't boot up at all. I had to pull the battery and leave it out for 5-10 minutes to get it to boot. I'm running out of ideas on what to flash over to fix it. Is it possible that the Kernel I installed while rooted is causing problems? The full firmware for CPF3 should have overwritten it, correct?

I've had some issues myself. I originally used paul pizz PJ2, which is an awesome rom. Gives you stability of stock, but feel of custom. I then went to PL1 and EmotionOS. After a few days, I noticed, reduced connectivity, camera wouldn't focus, and button reassignments. So, I just wiped cache and Dalvik, stuck in boot loop. I downloaded the newest EmotionOS. Wiped everything, installed it. boot loop. So I did a another wipe and installed the deodexed Ricks ROM V2. So far so good, but it has only been a day. If you do a full retail firmware flash, that should fix your issues. If you did a full firmware, then yes, it would be overwritten. Try going back to 5.1.1 PA1 full firmware flash. Then you could allow the phone to take the OTA if you wish. But, that should fix the issue. If not let me know. And I will keep you informed of the new rom. Also, if you have a card reader, check your sd. Take anything that you want off of it, and wipe it as well. These Notes are finicky.

So I did actually go back to stock 5.1.1 and successfully take the 6.0.1 OTA, the issue didn't resolve. At that point I flashed the full stock CPF3, still no changes.
A new thing has popped up too. When I try to boot into recovery it says it's installing an update, then after about 5 minutes it goes to a black screen and nothing happens. I end up having to pull the battery to restart it. Discovered that when I tried to go clear all the caches and such before flashing CPF3, and it is still doing the same thing after flashing CPF3. I thought that by flashing the full firmware for CPF3 it would solve that.

So you are full stock? Does the update issue happen on the stock recovery?

Yep it did. So I think I've actually fixed it now. I thought that flashing the full firmware would also flash the boot loader and modem, but I Odin'd both of those in and so far so good! It did the whole updating thing again just like before this time, but when it was done it actually loaded up recovery like it was supposed to. So at that point I wiped the cache, factory reset, then used Odin to flash in the boot loader and modem for CPF3 that I found in that thread.
I've been using my phone and installing things for a couple hours now and haven't had a single hang. Before I did this, it would hang very quickly. Maybe I'll get brave and try rooting and whatnot again later, but for now I'm just going to back off for a bit. Thanks for the help!
And so much for that. It was more stable than it had been in ages so I started installing all my apps and whatnot, now it's just as unstable as it used to be, just took a couple days to happen. I'm running out of ideas

Strange issue after March security patch update

Hello, I'm having a strange issue with March Security Patch update. 3 days ago I received via ota this update, did it and everything was OK. The day after, I rebooted the phone, and sudden it turns black and rebooted by itself looping on coloured little balls before G logo. Another reboot and when it turns on I noticed that it downgraded by itself on February patch security, giving me the March update aviable via ota again.
I reupdated but the day after, once again the same thing. And once again yesterday...and once again today. What have I to do?

Is your bootloader unlocked or any root or anything of that sort? That's a very weird issue. There are reports of the Nexus 6 being downgraded to 7.0 by Google but I'm not sure if it's a software push they are doing to cause that to happen.
You may have to wipe cache and try the update again.

I tried to wipe cache from settings, storage but didn't work. Yes I've unlocked bootloader but no root. Could this be the problem?
No, shouldn't affect anything just being unlocked. Now if you installed TWRP, that might cause this. I didn't use an OTA to go to the march update so idk if it might be at fault, I was on pure Nexus so chose to flash the factory image and haven't had any issues so far.

randomly reboots beta28

Hi guys,
I updated my op3 to latest beta 28 but I got random reboots when I'm not using it;
in fact, usually it reboots when charging or when it's in standby, and other moments like that.. I really don't know why!
I checked the MD5 of the zip, I flashed with the latest bluspark 8.54 and I did a full wipe;
I also reflashed with a dirty flash the ROM(and other ROMs based on Oxy).
Nothing changed.. it appears 2-3 times per day.
Anyone of you got the same error? which could be a solution?
I had exactly the same problem, but flash rom via adb fixed that.
not experiencing any.. stock non rooted...

Sounds interesting.. will try! Thx in advance
Morning! You're not the onlyone having troubles with OB28, I'm facing similar issues aswell. Decided to wipe all and perform another clean install (not via adb as suggested above) yesterday afternoon and no issues so far. Will keep you updated
Running ExperienceOS by Jamal btw, which is based on stock OB28
I have had this as well. Just keeps rebooting randomly.
Dirty flashing the rom ob28 helps and keeps it stable. But then it reappears after some time randomly. It could be after a few hours or a day or two as well. Yesterday it just started rebooting while it was lying on the desk.
I suspect it could be because of a custom kernel. I have moved from custom to stock (rooted) for now. Lets see
Having same with ob28 also with 5.0. Sometimes it starts rebooting when charging, sometimes while just laying on the desk. 2 times I had it rebooted to recovery. I have even missed an alarm. I found a phone rebooted to recovery in the morning.
Yesterday clean installed 5.0. Rebooted 10 minutes ago. Dirty flashed ob28, retooting also.

In another thread, someone suggested rooting with SuperSU instead of Magisk. Tried that and now stable of over 2 days. You might give it a try
It has something to do with magisk or bluspark twrp in combination with something. Tried installing Supersu. Rebooting stopped, but dm-verity message appeared when booting. Decided to format everything. Flashed original recovery, but it could not decrypt file system. Tapped on forgot my password and it wiped everything. Sideloaded OOS 5.0, rebooted, then flashed twrp via fastboot. Flashed magisk 14.5. Stable for 2 days.

I have 2 oneplus 3 (one for me and my wife). I installed on both the latest beta Hydrogen OS (basically the same version as OB28).
On both devices, magisk 14.5 is installed.
And yes, I received random reboots maybe 1-2 days one time. And once rebooted, sometimes it will reboot again few seconds after that for few times.
Usually to stop that, after the reboot done, I will reboot the phone manually as fast as possible. And it will be okay for another 1-2 days.
So far I can live with this. But I might downgrade my wife's phone to something else stable

Same behaviour here on OxygenOS 5.0 with Magisk 14.5 and Boeffla kernel. I usually wipe cache and dalvik in TWRP 3.2 and then it's fine for a couple of hours (or days, if I'm lucky).
Quick update from my side. It's been 6 days since I replaced Magisk and rooted with SuperSU and it definitely solved my issues. No reboots or whatsoever.

Op3 ob28
I had random reboots on Freedom OS 3.1 after about two weeks of use with stock kernel and Magisk 14 (no issues before that). Flashed Blu Spark 207, didn't help. Flashed FOS 3.2: neither. Somebody suggested aggressive dose to be the culprit. It wasn't as I didn't had it enabled for starters. I Flashed official OB28 + magisk and stock kernel... And after one day, reboot. Flashed Blu Spark 208, reboot. But after a couple more reboots last week, they seem to have gone by themselves:
$ uptime
02:00:49 up 4 days, 6:48, load average: 2.98, 2.01, 2.24
*I had not tried using super su instead.
What can we do to debug this issue? Seems like everybody is trying to guess in the dark...
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------
If I may suggest, there seems to be a sort of "environmental" origin for this... I've noticed some "correlated incidence of reboots" between unrelated devices, regardless of specific OB variant (OB, FOS, EOS), kernel (stock, Blu), and root method, based on number of complaints and reports of generically unsuccessful attempts to solve the issue in the respective ROM threads, and here too.
Besides, I've not been able to identify any usage related trigger: this has happened to me while phone is idle, while browsing this thread, while driving thru unknown and dangerous streets guided by Waze, while commuting on the subway and only listening music...
Some more rigurous analysis of the prevalence of these reboots as a function of time might prove useful...
Also, there seems to be a growing incidence between users. There seems to be also a "incubation time" for most of us (but not for everybody). Are we sure we are not talking about some disease?
Just had another reboot. No Magisk log created...
But on every reboot I seem to lose some settings (in the settings app). Which setting is lost, seems completely random: battery optimization setting, LED notification setting, configured sounds,...
Aaand..... Two reboots lastima friday, and about 5 today...
This Is turning into a real deal breaker...
Experiencing back to back reboots form morning on stable Oreo op3. Imma switch back to 7.1 til the time its solved
I also have problems with reboots, but they have given way. Now I have a problem with the phone's sudden heating and battery drain this.

Those experiencing reboots .. pls specify if it's with or without magisk. And if it's with, which version. And if it's without, what other modding have you done.
Will be helpful to establish the common thing in the setup causing the reboots

With magisk 14.0 and later magisk 14.5. Now I'm testing without root at all, as it seems to be magisk related, it is also reported on the magisk thread.

Bootloop for no apparent reason?

Hey, I have a question.
I've encountered something kind of strange with this device. I've been running Android P with the December 2018 security patch, rooted with Magisk. I've never encountered any problems with it so far except for a few bootloops I've got for deleting some modules in Magisk.
One day I decided to restart my phone because it was kind of laggy and so far so good it was booting. It showed me the Xiaomi logo and then it asked for the pattern to start Android. I entered the pattern and it just got into bootloop. (I've gotten bootloops before but it never got to the point where it shows me the logo and asks for pattern). I don't know what caused the bootloop because lately I haven't been messing with Magisk. However I thought it was a good idea to get into recovery and factory reset it (this has gotten me out of bootloops before so I gave it a try). After the reset it started to bootloop again, I just restarted it and it worked out just fine. I set up my phone, obviously root was gone because of the reset but I realized my phone's gotten updated to the March 2019 security patch. This was quite a surprise because I've been trying to update it and nothing seemed to work. (I tried updating it once by reflashing the original firmware with MiFlash, it was version 10.0.2.0, and before rooting it to install the security updates, they were just failing for no reason because there was no root on the phone).
So do you guys have any idea why my phone got into bootloop out of a sudden? And also why did the update successfully got installed after the factory reset?

Problem with conectivity after installing update from 23rd of January 21

Hello,
I'm using the Wileyfox Swift with Magisk for Root and the Firewall AFwall+. Since the last update I can't get access to the internet, either through wifi nor through the SIM-card. What wonders me is, I had to reinstall Magisk from the recovery (TWRP) Magisk seems to work fine, but AFwall+ doesn't work at all, saying that it can't get root-access. Normally the updates of LineageOS worked without any problem and doesn't change root.
I already tried installed the LineageOS version form the lineage-17.1-20210116- but it doesn't changed anything.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem? I would be grateful.
Thanx for now.
UPDATE: Now I changed to the lineage version two weeks earlier lineage-17.1-20210109- which made the situation now even worse. After logging-in, I just get a black blanc screen showing nothing to me. Thankful for any help
Second Update: After all I wiped the phone and installed everything new. I also tried the newest update, but got still the same problem – so I switched to an ealier LineageOS version. Now it works again. Has anyone similiar problems?
