Rooted, installed Magisk and now phone won't boot - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

So after I unlocked my bootloader I used the all in one tool to root and flash Magisk Seemed to go ok, but when I went to reboot I'm stuck at the G screen and then it goes back to twrp.
I flashed the patched boot image but it still isn't working.
What do i need to do?

Flash the stock boot image to both slots.

I ended up going back to stock and then redoing the root/magisk process and everything worked ok. Must have been a weird issue, but it's working now.

That works too. Glad you got it working. Did you use a tool or fastboot?

I flashed the factory image via the all in one tool, then rooted and flashed magisk via the tool as well.
The only difference step I took was that I decrypted twrp. Not sure if that was the issue but I'm all working now!!

If you didn't allow modifications when twrp first booted that is the issue.

I allowed for modifications, but didn't enter my password so it didn't decrypt

same problem here

I also have the problem, but I can not find an .img file in the offical firmware. I extracted it but only got these files:
META-INF
care_map.txt
compatibility.zip
payload.bin (size: 1.2G, the largest)
payload_properties.txt
I assume that payload.bin may contain something I need, but I can not open it.

That's not the factory image. It looks more like it might be a custom rom of some sort. Google pixel factory image. You need the full image, not the ota. Extract this. Inside is another zip file, extract that too. In there you'll find the boot image.
Edit, what you extracted is the ota. I've never extracted one before so didn't recognize it. There's never been a reason to extract it.

Can't install OTA update...

So I had my phone rooted, with TWRP recovery, and today I've received a notification for 5.1 update, and when I pressed Install and reboot, it rebooted directly into TWRP, so I can't update it (or didn't find a way). Is there any way to update it now without wiping data?
There's a whole thread on the ota process in the general forum. You should read it. The ota will not work with a custom recovery. You need the stock recovery which you can install using fastboot. There are other requirements too. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.

Just flash the ota zip via twrp you will loose all root and your system modifiactions which are reversible!

Rooting M with chainfires kernel?? Recovery not available??

Does anyone else find that rebooting to recovery using twrp doesn't happen? I've tried re flashing recovery with fastboot and even selecting in bootloader boot to recovery after and still just boots into android.. Any ideas? Is it chainfires boot.img causing the problem?

Try unplugging phone from power source then attempt to enter TWRP.
I have done. I've just downloaded selinux changer app. Set permissive and then re flashed twrp again and now I can access it.

How you install custom kernel without TWRP?
My device is stock and i want to install elementalx + supersu to root. But i need TWRP first.
Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...
we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.
Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that

Updating TWRP

Currently on TekHd. I want to order update TWRP. What would be the process to do this without resetting everything?

Why do you want to update twrp when there is nothing wrong with it?
If you do update twrp to a newer version it would not reset anything.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I'd also like to move onto 3.0.0.0 because MTP does not work on 2.8.7.1. I have tried everything and am unable to move anything off the phone in TWRP.

Nothing will be reset. Just download the version for your device in .IMG format and flash it in TWRP or via Odin. I have no issues with 3.0 and have been using it since it became available.

Download Flashify via play store, download TWRP IMG and flash via Flashify. Note be sure to select recovery IMG not boot IMG. Done!

When twrp starts, clear caches and reboot. Should be good to go, and don't accept ota again, you must be stock to take ota.

Maybe... If you had installed Xposed or other root app, it's best to that, or restore your pre-rooted nandroid backup. Otherwise, if you didn't modify system, just fastboot flash stock recovery and take the ota.

Then an OTA may fail, depending on what the update script checks for. I would flash back to pure stock to be safe.

You phone will never be detected with adb in the bootloader, that isn't what adb is intended for, but that is where you use fastboot.
Your situation is completely normal.

The TWRP img file needs to be on the computer in the fastboot directory. Start the bootloader and type 'fastboot devices' to make sure the device is recognized, then 'fastboot boot twrp.img' (remember to use the actual filename in place of twrp.img)

TWRP and rooted, OTA is installing

I've been sitting on 5.1.7 rooted with TWRP for awhile. Got the OTA to 5.1.8 and accidentally clicked install. Will I just have to reinstall magisk when it's done?

You can download the full ROM, flash it in TWRP, flash TWRP.zip, reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot and done.
Last week I flashed the ota as full rom image via fastboot. Then booted and everyting was ok. But then, rebooted into recovery and it just wiped everything without any option. So, my guess is to flash ota via fastboot, fladh twrp via fastboot, reboot to twrp and then install magisk ?
P.s. after update to 5.1.8, does your rear camera portrait mode is working ? My not.

You probably ran the fasboot command with wipe option included.
Ok, what is the correct command to run via fastboot ?
