Hi community, I was wondering now that a second update for Android Q is out for all Pixel Devices is recommended to get it installed on my pixel and also if I will be able to do that as I have already got root permision and installed TWRP following a tutorial... Thanks in advance! PD After I have finished all the steps to get root access I noticied there was a security patch for the Pixel (still Android 9.0) but it did not allow me to install it...

Hey.
I have a Google Pixel running on Oreo (8.1.0) rooted with Magisk. Earlier today i got the OTA for android Pie (9.0).
Can anyone help me out by providing steps as to what do i need to do in order to update to android 9? Do i unroot and install OTA update or simply flash the update package from the recovery?
Edit : My bootloader is unlocked (ofcourse) and i have TWRP recovery.
Thanks
Sideload the OTA file following the instructions here:

Keep in mind that you will lose root and TWRP. You'll have to repeat the procedure to (boot from and) install TWRP, then install Magisk, as you did before.
Let us know if you have further questions.
I'm wondering if I can install Android 10/Q over Pie without having to clean flash. On the Pixel 3 there were issues during rooting when there wasn't a clean update.

I'd say try it out. I just installed Android 10 yesterday via ADB sideload over Android Pie with TWRP. As always, perform a backup in TWRP before going forward with anything.
Edit: to clarify as well, I was rooted with Magisk and TWRP on Android Pie. Using TWRP/adb sideload, the OS updated without any issues. After that, I installed TWRP and Magisk v. 20.1 again and have been fine for 16 hours.
Hi! I've updated my OnePlus 7Pro to Android 11. I was able to keep the rooting from Android 10, by installing A11 via Oxygen Updater, and then by the feature "inactive slot installing (after OTA)" in Magisk. I use TWRP.
PROBLEM: Latest version of Magisk (22.1) won't work with Screen2auto and I need to downgrade to at least 21.4, but I can't because TWRP don't work on Android 11 so I can't flash directly from the phone.
The process of upgrading from A10 to A11, kind of "force" Magisk to update to 22.1, since using "inactive slot installing (after OTA)", automatically also install the latest version of Magisk.
I can't downgrade to A10 because I will probably loose root.
I've tried to use "custom update" on Magisk by coping the raw link (stable.json) from GitHub; it seems that Magisk won't downgrade using this method (failing to install the package or something..)
Sooo now I'm stuck. I would like to downgrade Magisk and have A11. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi, I see you posted this over in the OnePlus 7 Pro forum. Hopefully someone can assist you with magisk and screen2auto issues....

Hello, brother, for Android 6 and below, you should use Super su root, but for Android 7 and above, use Magisk, just like now when you use Android 11, root with Magisk and the phone will be rooted.

Hi folks, I am running a Pixel 6A that I rooted with magisk back in December. I stupidly did not disable OTA updates. Last night the QPR2 update came down and wiped root from my phone.
Bootloader is still unlocked and magisk app is installed.
I am confused about the best way to restore root. I see that the QPR2 beta required the use of the pixel 7 boot image. Does that still hold for the stable QPR2?
Also, the magisk app offers a way to choose and patch an image within the app. Can I get the pixel 7 boot image and patch it in magisk, or do I have to use the ADB/ fastboot method?
Sorry for the trouble. I promise I will disable OTA updates in the future. Thanks for any help.
Hello! I am also root user and if it is true that there was an update with the boot 6a not root and I had to use the pixel 7 or 7 pro (I do not remember which was) but if in doubt I would try only with the 6a just in case, the procedure is to download the full rom of the same version you have now, extract the boot.img, patch it with magisk and flash it by adb from the pc, is the method I use in each update and no problems until today, good luck and greetings!
If you are using Magisk Stable 26.1 or Canary 26101, you can use the Pixel 6a boot image to root as the problems mentioned above have been fixed with these versions of Magisk.
Problem solved. Y'all rock.
I'm having a similar problem. I'm am unable to find the boot.img anywhere in the zip file I'm on Bluejay TQ2A 230305.008E1.
