Hi
Just got 3a XL today and unlocked bootloader. I understand that twrp doesn't work above android 9, but how can i root android 11? can the stock boot image be patched with magisk, or does it need to be a customer kernel and if so which ones work?
Many Thanks

You should be able to just patch the stock boot img.

I have a Google edition Pixel XL on Vzw's network. I have only had it for a few weeks. I am currently running android 8.1.0, unlocked bootloader, with root and Majisk 16.0. Just a short while ago, I received a notification that there is an update available- specifically a Security update available and the update size is 68.2 MB. This leads up to my question.
Do I need to do anything special prior to installing this "security update"? Do I install this update? I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 so I am certainly not up on the does/don'ts of this bootloader unlocked, with root and Majisk 16.0.
Thanks so much in advance.

You cannot have any root or magisk or xposed installed to apply the update. Your bootloader can be unlocked though. To unroot to update just flash the boot.img. also can't have twrp installed

I followed Tenn3r's guide. You don't have to do anything special you just have to flash magisk again.

there is also this guide # 4
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-8-1oreo-unlock-t3715279
these worked fine for me. The only thing is I had to put my factory image files in the platforrm-tools folder.

Do I need to uninstall majisk and twrp first when using the factory image files?
No. I don't even have to uninstall Xposed. You'll have to flash twrp and magisk again tho.

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate the info
Dear XDA members,
picking up my Pixel 3 XL I decided to get again in touch with all the custom rom's, kernals, rooting and all this.
I have been there but never really touched it since my Galaxy Nexus and did not much with my Nexus 5 completely disbanding the topic since my Nexus 6P.
I just have some question were I could not find an definite answer for myself or found different missleading ones so I bet some of you definetly will know them. Also my memory since the Galaxy Nexus Era dramatically diminished so basically learning everything new with Magisk, the A/B partition thing etc.
So help is appreciated.
Should you enable or disable the Adaptive Battery if you have a custom kernal?
What happens with Googles Adaptive Battery Feature if you are rooted and even have a custom kernal? Is it straight up not "working", do you have to "learn" it again does it resets everytime?
At which step normal OTA Google Updates will fail to install?
unlocked bootloader
unlocked bootloader + rooted via patched boot.img from magisk manager
unlocked bootloader + rooted via flash Magisk via temporary booted TWRP
Can you be more "lazy" to keep your phone up to day and still be unlocked/rooted.
Currently my phone is unlocked but completely setup with apps, personal data.
1.) boot twrp
2.) flash magisk via twrp [optional flash twrp itself => If you just plan to get rooted there is no need to install twrp it self right?]
If there is a new factory image Update
3.) boot twrp and flash magisk uninstaller via twrp then boot into bootloader and
5.) flash the factory image WITHOUT -w
6.) repeat 1.) 2.)
Or is it better with the patched boot.img?
Thanks in advance please don't blame me for this for sure stupid questions.

[Guide] Pixel 3 XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + November 2018 Security Patch
Do #4 'keep data', then do #8 to root
I think flashing the factory image is better.

I read this post you linked before opening mine but still had this questions.
Why do I have to flash the factory image if I am already on stock? Or do you mean in case if there is an actual ugrade?
Thanks for your answer.

You don't, just do #8 to root: #4 is for monthly upgrdes.
My last Google device was a Nexus 4, since then I've always had a Samsung S-series smartphone, so I've never touched root again. With Pixel 3 I run the risk of losing some function when doing root?

I don't think you'll lose any functions, you can gain the use of functions by rooting.

You'll just have to use Magisk Hide on a few things (like Google Play Store to keep the unverified notice away or Google Pay which is checked by default) where you need Safetynet from being tripped. Other than that, run stock and rooted and it is all good that you gain.

After you install twrp and your kernel, let the OS boot up, then go back to twrp and flash magisk again and see if that works.
Do I have to flash a custom kernel?

If you want to keep touch response working in twrp, yes. At least until twrp gets fixed.

Hello guys, I knew yesterday that Android 10 finally came out for Redmi Note 8, however for now the china version is the only one available, flashable via UPDATE.APP, right?
That's my question: I'm currently on stock Android 9, but with unlocked bootloader and root with MAGISK.
If I do the update to Android 10, will the bootloader be locked again? Will I be able to unlock again? And I guess I'll lose root too, will be possible to root with Magisk?
Thanks in advance

Just clean flash rom through recovery+flash magisk that's all. Backup everything before flashing. After flashing if reboot redirects to recovery then simply format data partition and reboot again.

i think you can not update this with update app, this update is only for beta tester
you can clean flash it with recovery, if you do this you lose everything along root, data, pictures etc
if you just want miui 12, you also can try eumiui 12 beta with Android 10 or wait for global stable
whatever you choose to do you can not lock your bootloader again even if you select it in mi flash tool you will just brick your device and, bricked device is bigger problem than locked bootloader
Wait for the official OTA update
just got my tablet a couple of days ago, still waiting for about a week before bootloader can be unlocked, anybody achieved root on this thing yet? planning to patch boot img with magisk by extracting it from stock firmware zip then flashing through fastboot after i unlock bootloader.
update:
Root achieved and everything seems to be running fine with magisk, safety net fails but is easily fixed with kdragon safeynet fix module, even have lsposed running and no issues so far
Yes, I extracted boot.img from the tgz stock ROM downloaded from Xiaomi, patched it with the Magisk app, flashed it with fastboot, and the few modules I'm using seem to be working fine now.

Yeah, I think a week is too long too.
The Windows file properties for my patched boot.img shows 128 MB (134,217,728 bytes).
This is consistent with the file size before the patch.
I used nabu_images_V12.5.9.0.RKXCNXM_20210825.0000.00_11.0_cn_738def3dd3.tgz.
and 23.0 magisk app in pad 5.

Will we lose L1 cert if we unlocked bootloader ? is there any method to avoid losing L1 cert ?
In the DRM info, Widevine maintains L1.
But the CN ver Xiaomi devices will receive HD quality on each vendor is another matter.
Do you need unlocked bootloader?
Is there any guide how to root it step by step?
Hi, bootloader can be unlocked after 7 days. Correct?

How I lock the bootloader? For not losing warranty
Sorry, wrong thread
Hi everyone ,
I wandered for months in this forum but I didn't really find how to root my device. There are some tutorial for the "1952-4" but it's not my device. I really don't want to do risky things flashing wrong files. At this point I don't even know if my model can be rooted.
Here are useful infos :
Device : Moto G7 Play XT1952-1
Firmware : Android 9 (security patch december, 1st 2018)
Build : PPY29.68-28
Bootloader unlocked : YES
At this point, what am I supposed to do ? Is there a TWRP image that would work for sure ?
Thank you.
I managed to root my xt1952-4 but I couldn't use the methods on here as I would have TWRP and Magisk root but would lose wifi. So I decided to install magisk, extract the Boot.img file from the rom and patch it with magisk. I flashed it back using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now I have root and working wifi but no recovery.

Interesting, thanks.
I don't know if I can risk doing that on my XT1952-1 though, you never know how it'd behave.
If somebody successfully rooted XT1952-1, please let me know
