Something weird with Root. - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have a Pixel with stock Android that was rooted with Chainfire SuperSU 2.78SR3
Last night I've noticed that the phone isn't rooted anymore and has installed the Feb security update OTA. (I only had the Nov update installed).
I've tried rerooting using the same method (Fastboot boot) and got stuck in a bootloop.
I had to flash a clean stock rom to get it out of the bootloop.
Next I installed TWRP. That worked.
Next I tried installing a ZIP version of SuperSU 2.78SR4. The Zip installs but when I boot into Android SuperSU says that the phone isn't rooted.
Anyone had anything similar happen to them?

You might need to flash back to stock to fix this. If you do let us know so we can help you save your data and apps.
You used the wrong SU. You need 2.79 SR3. Note the 9 on there, you used 2.78.

Copy it to your phone and boot to TWRP. Then INSTALL it from TWRP.

[HELP] root problem

hello guys
i have a Samsung galaxy S6 g920F running on 6.0.1 with baseband G920FXXU3DPB6.
I have previously rooted my phone using CF-autoroot. Suddenly today when i tried to use superSU, it said "There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem!. If you have upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root".
As i said above that i have rooted after i updated to 6.0.1 and was working till yesterday. i don't know what happen today that it started giving me this error.
I even downloaded latest cf-autoroot from its site and flash it through odin, but still no luck.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks.

can't we use on stock kernel only as it was before instead of flashing a custom kernel..?

Updating Security Patch, rooting and using TWRP

I'm currently on November's NDE63V with root and twrp installed. I updated to SR5 root when it was released using TWRP and it boot looped. I assumed it was because I didn't flash the stock boot.img(both slots?), boot to TWRP, flash TWRP then install root. Is this correct? Does that method need to be followed every time there's an update?
I want to update to 7.1.1, December's OTA -> I want stock ROM on one slot and WETA on the other. Both with root. Of course either Franco or ElementalX. Can someone outline the steps, as I don't want to boot loop again, setting everything up is a PITA!

This should help you with dual booting.
Haven't read through it all yet as I'd like to dual boot as well. But all I did to update is download all the files Weta has when you go to download the rom (boot, bootloader, radio and vendor.)
I Fastboot flashed bootloader, radio and vendor rebooted to bootloader and flashed weta, elementalx and SuperSU sr5.

OTA Issue

first of all, i was a rooted user since a long time, but the recent january patch gave me a hard time, so i went through a lot of testing and here are those, if anyone can help me.
I was having MagiskSU.
1. by uninstalling MagiskSU and getting back to stock recovery, i was able to install the october patch OTA.
2. Installed Magisk again, then one day i saw another OTA (this was the january security update), so i followed my previous steps, again uninstalled magisk and went back to stock recovery, but it gave me a status 7 error.
3. I copied the update.zip, tried to flash it manually from recovery, it said error in /sideload/package.zip, status 7.
3. i reinstalled the stock ROM, repeated everything, again i was able to accept the october patch. this time i backed up the october boot.img and restored it before installing the january patch, but same error. i tried to modify the zip file by removing the system checks, but it didn't allow me. Can anyone tell me what is so special about January patch that it simply doesn't get installed?
P.S. I finally gave up and reinstalled stock and all the patches, without root.
Try installing stock recovery. Download the stock firmware for your device from XDA. Unzip. Flash the stock recovery.img using fast boot. Then download the update and let the device do all that is necessary.
P.S. you need to completely uninstall Magisk. Flash the uninstall Magisk.zip (available from Magisk thread at XDA) before installing stock recovery.

update to 9.5.9 bootloop, only fix was twrp bootloop fix but removed root

As the title says I updated to 9.5.9 and I installed magisk to ota slot and then I got a bootloop.... I fixed it by using twrp option to fix bootloop but that removed root, everything I do now sends it into a bootloop, please tell me there is a way to reroot this without wiping my data
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-to-uninstall-magisk-module-t3940369#poststop
Just had the same issue an hour ago. Do this then re-root your phone again. Easy. Then re-install magisk modules.

Had the same issue.
Same here. I just reflashed TWRP (flash boot command), flashed the TWRP installer zip, rebooted recovery and then flashed Magisk. That solved it.
By the way, theres a new TWRP out for the 7 Pro.
I got the same problem but my internal storage is encrypted (it shows 0kb). TWRP is not asking for PIN to unencrypt the partition. What can I do now?
Do we have a custom boot image for 9.5.9? I'm looking to root and want to find the best method which will continue to allow future updates (even if I need to flash manually)

Your best bet is to use the oxygen updater app, download 9.5.9 and then copy it to a PC then use boot.img extract thingy and then use magisk to patch it and then use fastboot to to root it

OTA with root and TWRP

Dears,
I have a OnePlus 6 unlocked and rooted with magisk and TRWP.
Currently I'm running stock firmware: oxygenos 10.3.
I got a message from system to update to 10.3.1.
Last time (when I have to update to 10.3) I tried to update in every way but without success and at the end I had to format everything and I lost my data.
So here is my question: which is the correct procedure to update software?
Thanks!
Look in TWRP and Root for OnePlus 6 on Oxygen OS 10 Stable/Beta thread
So you need to download latest Oxygen zip which is 042 buil if I'm not wrong...put it on your phone if you already didn't done that...then reboot to TWRP...and here starts the procedure....I HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO DO A WIPE WITHOUT FORMATTING INTERNAL STORAGE ONLY DATA...FOR AVOIDING ISSUES...but you can go without it...so here we start
Boot into twrp
Flash oxygen os zip(latest)
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp(if it says no os installed just ignore it and swipe reboot anyway)
Flash magisk
and your done...thats it...nothing could go wrong.... I'm always doing it this way....

For me, the phone downloaded the whole package instead of just the little OTA. I let it install it, bit did not let it restart it. Then I went to magisk modules and installed "twrp-keep". Then in magisk manager I had it install magisk on the other slot. Then I restarted the phone. Everything worked great.

Try this method... im also done my update like this!
my way of doing it
Here's what i did and it didn't took me long at all i'm a newbie
I unroot my phone via magisk
install os 10.3.1 then flash twrp and root my phone again.
Dears,
Thanks for the replay.
I forgot that I was without TWRP.
What I did, and it worked, is:
- uninstall magisk manager by magisk
- install full update
- reboot
- flash by fastboot boot.img patched by magisk.
Thanks again
