Root Google pixel 2 xl - android 11 - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello everyone
Please can you help me to root pixel 2 xl - android 11
And is there any custom rom with android 11

We could, but it's important to note that if you have a Verizon Pixel 2 XL, root is NOT POSSIBLE.
Anyway, assuming you have the correct P2XL, the rooting instructions we give here in the forums haven't changed appreciably since they were written. For Android 11, they still apply, with the caveat that you currently have to use the "Canary" version of Magisk (i.e. the development channel version of Magisk) in order for root to work.

How about ????

That' indicates you have a Google variant, not a Verizon variant. So you're good to go with unlocking your bootloader, etc.
You should delete that picture as it shows your CSN number.

Just to point out the obvious to @abughassan, but I thought I made the point @Lughnasadh brings up clear in my previous post. You must have missed it, but it's all good as you got things working.

Brother please help me out. I've tried everything but I am just unable to root my pixel 2 xl running the latest android version (11).
I tried patching the boot image with latest canary build and it always outputs an image file which is of 0 bytes.
Then I tried patching the boot image with latest magisk manager (not canary), it was able to output a file which was around 25 MB in size but flashing it always results in boot loop.
Finally, I tried to patch my boot image using some other device with magisk canary (latest) and the output image was about 25 MB in size but again after flashing it, the device goes into boot loop.
--UPDATE--
I was finally able to root my device by simply flashing the latest magisk zip file (v 21.0) via TWRP

Yes, just to clarify for others reading this, topjohnwu pushed Magisk 21 to the beta channel. It should be on the stable channel shortly, so there will soon be no need to deviate from the established rooting instructions we have in the forums.

I had that happen. Unfortunately, the only solution I found was to use the online Google flash tool and flash back to the previous install. Fortunately, it worked. I updated to 11 from there. I may leave it uprooted because currently the Pixel 2 XL is a backup phone and I don't need root currently.

Android 10 root/twrp

Hey guys. I accidentally (don't ask) installed the update for Android 10 from 9 stock and lost my twrp and root. Is there any way to at least get root back without having to reinstall everything?
More details will be needed to help. Bootloader unlocked? Guessing yes since you say you had twrp. Check the guide section for root instructions.
Yes I have it unlocked. I looked at the guide and it looks like I will have to reflash the stock rom which I'd like to avoid.

Since, twrp is not available yet for Android 10 (Q), I suggest one of the three following options:
1. If you have to re-flash the Pixel 3 XL Android 10 (Q) Factory image, do #4 'keep data' in this Guide.
2. If your Pixel 3XL has the latest Android 10 (Q) Factory image installed, just do #9 A. in this Guide to root.
3. If you are on a Custom ROM follow the OP Instructions in the Custom ROM thread to root.
Apparently I have the Sept update (QP1A.19711.020.C3) but I currently have no available updates. Am I good to just use your step 2?

Yes!
Why not do #1 update your Pixel 3 XL to the February Factory image (QQ1A.200205.002). You will not lose your data (need to reinstall anything). Then do #2 to root.
I guess I can do it that way. Thanks.
Edit: Do I need to use a custom kernel? I don't really require one. Also in magisk manager, theres no way to select the canary channel. All I see is stable, beta and custom.

Some people are reporting that issue. You can set the custom channel to canary/canary debug manually. Check the magisk thread.
Thank you. I tried to find it on the github site and found nothing.

Hey so I patched the image and flashed the file, I'm stuck on the screen with the google logo and progress bar. Also, does it matter that I used adb reboot fastboot to get to the fastboot menu? I noticed it said fastbootd which ive never seen before. It seemed easier to do it that way.
Edit: Ive decided to try flashing another rom.

For flashing boot.img you should reboot bootloader. Fastboot is a separate thing now for system files to be flashed. Boot, bootloader, and radio are flashed in bootloader, others in fastbootd.

Just got the phone and it updated to .5, and late at night, .6 showed up. It installed without all the trouble with TMo 7.
It unrooted, and I used the .5 magisk patched.img above without any problems, but will use .6 when available.

No - don't use old one. If you search, you should find 10.5.10 boot image.

Now you can upgrade back to 5.10 and reinstall magisk before booting up the update. Works real easy.

Don't make things complicated, update to 10.5.10, boot twrp, install magisk from the zip
^ Pardon my noobness, but does the Magisk version have to match the OxygenOS version, or can I simply use the latest Magisk version? Lots of chatter about getting the Magisk that matches.

Root for Android 11 Beta 3

Anyone have any idea how to root beta 3? I've patched the boot.img via Magisk and flashed it in fastboot, but I keep getting stuck in bootloop.
Update: Canary build works https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
Yes, on Android 10+, Canary is the way to go
Youre also in luck as @topjohnwu also just updated the Magisk Manager gui and its made such a difference in usability!

You need the latest canary apk. After you install it, then set your channel, then patch your boot.img and fastboot it. Worked a charm for me yesterday when I updated my P2XL to A11 :good:

Couple of things come to mind.
1. Do you have the latest platform-tools?
2. Are you using Command Prompt or Powershell as your interface??
3. Is your patched boot.img 26.55MB??
4. Have you tried different USB A to C cables and ports??
5. Have you tried fastbooting the patched boot.img to both slots with:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img --slot=all
I'll wait to see if any of these fixes your issue

Hello, I have tried this method, but it doesn't seem to fix my issue at all, what's weird is that I can flash stuff like TWRP,.. normally but when I try to flash the patched boot zip. the phone just bootloop, any chance you can post the patched boot.img file here?
Edit...hold on.
Here you go. Hope it works for you. :good:

None of the rooting guides work?

Can anyone write an up-to-date guide on precisely what I need to do to install TWRP on a global-edition, fully updated (MIUI 12) Note 8 Pro today?...
There are three different guides and none of them work. I'm not interested in custom firmwares or anything else besides TWRP. I just want to install TWRP and magisk.

Also, pay really close attention to the warning at the top of the TWRP downloads page for your device.

It's not that you're not supposed to use TWRP. It's that you need to know what you're doing.
That device you have is very easy to brick. I'm just making sure.
If you do only want root, that is very easy. First: do you have an unlocked bootloader? Second: exactly what software version do you have?

Installing Magisk from recovery is a legacy option and no longer recommended. The recommended method of installing Magisk consists of patching the boot image using the Magisk Manager app and then using fastboot to flash the patched boot image to the phone.
Installing TWRP is then as easy as using Magisk Manager to flash the TWRP installer zip, then reinstalling Magisk using direct install.
In order to retrieve a boot image to patch, you need to download the update you are using to a computer, then use a tool like Payload Dumper to extract the boot.img.
Kind of complex but it's the only option if installing TWRP without it bootloops you.

I don't own this device so I don't know any guides. The process is the same for most devices and the scripts will automate it for you.
Like I said, find a software update for your phone (search "miui 12.4.847.37586 OTA update zip" or similar), use Payload Dumper to extract a boot.img, transfer it to your device, install Magisk Manager and use that to patch the image, download the patched image to your computer, boot the phone into fastboot and flash the new boot image, and you'll have Magisk.
From there, go to the official TWRP website and download the "twrp-installer" for your device. Use Magisk Manager to install it. Then direct install Magisk to keep root.

Hey!! Fun fact, you don't need to use payload dumper for that! Download the "Full ROM" with "Type: Recovery", and unzip it. Inside there will be a "boot.img". That's what you patch using Magisk Manager.

Question Are the newer US ver still allowing,rooth with TWRP?

Seeing a lot of issues with Android 11 and 12 unlocking the bootloader and applying root. Is now not a good time to upgrade or should I wait for a boot image?
Not quite sure what you're referring to, but there are zero issues with unlocking the bootloader or rooting your device...
I can't speak for TWRP. I have had issues with it the last few versions so I had to make due without it. If I am mistaken about having twrp on the OP9 Pro on the newest LE2125 c61 update, I'd be interested.
Anyway, my response is mostly to address your question regarding root. Here are the steps that worked for me.

I have been rooted since day one on both A11 & A12. I'm running stock and haven't had a single issue.
Avoid TWRP, it's known to not work properly on A12
If you like to flash a custom ROM. Follow the instructions and you will be fine.
I am coming off the oneplus 7pro was enjoying TWRP and Magisk, with Exposed now I am hearing TWRP isn't working on anything above 10.0 ver. Guess I have to do so more research or pay Monfrio a ransom to work on TWRP.

How do you root without twrp? or you mean to just boot twrp and not install it?

I always just sideload. (downdload magisk apk & rename to zip before)
this way you do not need the extra boot.img I think.

If you want to install any add-ons, Reboot to Recovery, then when your device reboots, click Apply Update, then Apply from ADB, then adb sideload filename.zip those packages in sequence. (GAPPS or Magisk for example)
for example for magisk:
download the newest magisk apk version
after download, rename it and instead of .apk do it .zip
go into revovery and click Apply Update, then Apply from ADB
command is : "adb sideload Magisk-v2X.X.zip"
you must exchange X for your version.
Boot images gets patched
please note that I am not an expert, that is just what I found somewhere and use since then.
