With the boot loader getting unlocked and all that awesome stuff I'm gonna finally reroot my device and install xposed. If something just happens to go wrong, can I just flash the stock software to fix the issues? I mean you can't actually hard brick your device with xposed could you?
Thanks!

You could do all kinds of damage with xposed.
Especially if you use mods that aren't in the repo.
With a custom recovery & everything though you have as much safety as you can.

If someone roots, I have heard that many apps stop working. My question is, if the device is then unrooted, will those apps still work considering the fact that knox will remain tripped? I'm not referring to Samsung Pay, but rather apps from the playstore.
Yes, using magisk you can run all of the applications...
Few may need workaround but possible

Right, but after unrooting will the apps work as normal? Since I cant use magisk if I decide to go back to stock

Just stay stock if you want all the Samsung pay etc to work.

I hope I don't sound noob but coming from a 6p, i believe I am. I am new to samsung(even hated the idea of having one just as i hate iphones...) but was a gift and am lovin' it. I read a lot about rooting the s8+. Even got all the tools I found through a walkthrough to achieve root on my device. Many say it's not safe. The steps were flashing twrp through odin, then flashing magisk and the verity flash in twrp.
Hope i didn't tire you yet
Just a couple questions, is it actually safe to root my device? With the knox and whatnot(never had to worry about that before with the 6p)what apps will be affected by root and how to workaround that?
I have a g955fd btw
Thanks in advance

Its safe but once Knox is tripped its tripped for good. As of now there's no way to use certain secure apps if Knox has been tripped. You won't be able to us Secure folders (private mode), S Health and allegedly Samsung pay (although this one works for me on my rooted s8+ with Magisk). There may be some other apps but those are the main ones I can think of.
Besides these apps most if not all other apps root check capabilities can be fooled or bypassed. Apps like Snapchat, Netflix and Poke Go etc.are normally blocked on rooted devices but work just fine with Magisk.

If you dont care about the apps I mentioned or possibly forfeiting your warranty then I don't see why not. Its definitely not required though. There's not too much incentive to root yet until rovo89 gets Xposed to work on android 7.0+, if ever. I just rooted to make full nandroid backups and save myself the trouble of rooting down the road. As of right now there's not too much added functionality in having root access besides a few small-ish tweaks here and there.
I do have experience flashing phones. I don't need help with adb and fastboot.
I am just confused at to what exactly TWRP is? Is that the recovery? What should I flash to my phone?
Either way, I just want to root my phone and install a custom rom to it...but I don't see many or any custom roms except for TWRP...so really just want root above all else
Please tell me what I need to do and in what order...lol.....thank you

TWRP is custom recovery. It's still in beta.
As far as I know, there are no custom roms. 8.1 is too new and they are still working on things.
Root with Magisk. Plenty of how to threads.

TWRP actually just came out of beta with 12/12 Walleye(12/14 Taimen) build, hopefully there will be some custom roms soon... You can use the Skipsoft Android toolkit to root, unlock, flash twrp etc. Or do it manually following guides here on XDA under development section https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development, ADB has been updated so make sure to have the latest platform tools.
Currently theres no custom ROMs at all for Pixel 2.
TWRP is a recovery.
Rooting is pretty straight-forward I studied these 2 articles/thread:
http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-pixel-2-or-pixel-2-xl-easiest-method/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417
The kind of confusing part is when you want to change custom kernels and update TWRP.
As the recovery, kernel and root stuff all play around in the same partition now.
Read around the forum, since you got experience you will figure it out.

Ok I have TWRP installed and have it rooted, because root checker confirmed it.
I am currently installing busybox, not even sure why but I think I want it. Anyone want to tell me what it is specifically for? Also the app runs, says installing busybox and just hangs forever. Currently trying to let the smart install do it's thing and not move focus away from the busybox installing page

So rooting your Pixel 2 will invariably trigger this error message on boot, for any user?
Are there other undesirable side effects to rooting your Pixel 2 at the moment?

I really really miss exposed and I really don't want to root as besides exposed I personally have no need to. I just can't seem to get virtual exposed up and running. Along with not finding and good hot to videos on YT. I get it installed and everything just no luck with actual installing module for some reason. TIA for all help or input
if you root with magisk there is a module for xposed framework but it looks old and it says it won't be updated and I haven't tried it

If I rooted I wouldn't need to run virtual or magisk I could just run Xposed. I just don't want to root as it's easier for OTA without root. Especially seeing how often updates are coming for this phone since it got released.

I understand your desire not to root, but the only downside to rooting wousl be security, and magisk keeps security intact. Edxposed (unoffical Xposed for Android P) works perfectly fine in magisk.10/10 would recommend. Plus magisk has methods for maintaining root after OTAs

I bought the unlocked model for root truly but I haven't rooted a phone in 3 years since my LG g3 and g4 and for some reason I can't seem to wrap my head around easiest and safest way to root the OP7 . Don't want to break it. Nicest phone I've ever owned.
There's a tool by the guy who maintains TWRP for the phone. It's called tool all in one and can unlock and root your phone with a simple GUI. OTAs are almost as simple as stock, just 2gig files instead of ~500mb. It's just download from oxygen updater, settings local install, TWRP retention script, Magisk inactive slot install, reboot

Yes, but there's EdXposed which is compatible and works flawlessly with Safety net. Not all modules work but that's an Android Pie incompatibility issue, not an Xposed problem.

It was amazingly easy. You just enable developer option, select enable OEM unlocking, back everything up (the phone will get factory reset) and advanced reboot, hook it up to your computer, reboot to bootloader, and then fastboot OEM unlock, reboot your phone to make sure the warning appears and reinitialise the system (since your phone did just get reset), reboot to bootloader, fastboot boot twrp.img, optionally flash the twrp installer, and flash Magisk. Done. Rooted. After installing OTAs, but before rebooting, use the install to slot B option in Magisk manager.

I've been told you can, but I don't have one of those. Carriers are mostly irrelevant outside of the US (and I live outside of the US myself). I use the international, carrier agnostic model (1917).
Hi,
I've done a quick search but can't find anything definitive so a quick response on here would be greatly appreciated.
Are there any reasons not to root on a P7P? Like tripping Knox on Samsung devices? Basically, irreversible side effects of unlocking the BL or installing Magisk? I'm rooted on a Doogee S98 Pro, a Xiaomi MiPad 4 and a Samsung Tab S6 at the moment and I don't think I could go back to having no root. It's pretty much my main reason for not buying an S22 Ultra.
Hi
this is one of the major benefits of the P7P in my perspective: you can unlock, root, unroot, relock without any negative side effects. You don't trip any fuse or have other effects that cannot be undone by a simple reflash.
Plus, maybe due to this, the P7P is one of the phones where the dev community is still quite active.....

Perfect answer, thanks!
Pretty hard to brick a Pixel.
Just make sure you don't relock your bootloader unless you're fully stock. I've seen a bunch of people doing that throughout these forums here for some reason.
Yup, if you want to unroot once you're rooted, it's absolutely imperative you flash full stock before toggling OEM Unlock and issuing any ADB commands to re-lock the bootloader. Do that without flashing back to factory stock and you end up with a phone that can't boot because the bootloader is locked with a non-stock build, you can't unlock the bootloader because the OEM is toggled, and you can't flash a stock build because the bootloader is locked. Brick time.
Other than that it's a fairly safe phone to play around with.
I strongly recommend Pixel Flasher, it makes the whole process easier, but make sure you read up on it before doing anything.

GrapheneOS also supports relocking the bootloader, although I can't think of a reason why you'd want to.
The best reason not to root is that it's not needed in 2022. I can't imagine "needing" to do something with root that cannot be accomplished without root. YMMV

Call recording, full backup and restore, hosts based ad blockers.
Once rooted, it's annoying having to disable all Magisk mods, run updates, then re-root every month. I've also had updates corrupt the A/B Partitions. The warning screen for unlocked bootloader alone is a nuisance. If you're ok with that, go right ahead.

I went 3 days before rooting my P7P since I was unfamiliar with the process. I was able to root OnePlus blindfolded, but the forums made Pixel seem difficult. It was the most miserable 3 days when everything I wanted to use/customize depended on root.
without root I could not even get 5G working. Furthermore the AOSP Mods on the stock ROM... Systemless Hosts AdBlocking, Re-Vanced, .......
I unlocked and rooted the phone before even booted it the first time

Updated to November, didn't disable any Magisk mods, no issues.
It's only some mods which cause issues. Not got them installed, you can perform the update without touching Magisk.

Actually in most jurisdictions it's what's called a one party consent requirement wherein one of the parties involved must be aware and consent. In this case the person doing the recording qualifies as the consenting party. In other places two party or more consent is required but not everywhere
