Issues Rooting Pixel 2 android 9.0 latest build with Magisk - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have been struggling to root my device. I have not wiped and rooted it in some time and now coming back to it again magisk keeps breaking my device.
I have clean flashed the latest android 9.0.0 build. I have flashed TWRP custom recovery 3.3.0 successfully. I have tried to flash magisk 3 times now and afterwards my phone wont boot. I originally used magisk manager to get the latest zip and patch my boot image. I then rebooted to to bootloader and ran fast boot flash boot patched_Magisk.img. This wiped out my twrp recovery and my phone wouldn't boot, i couldn't get back into twrp recovery. I reflashed latest 9.0 build and wiped everything. I flashed twrp again and tried to flash Magisk 20.0 from recovery. It was successful but again i couldn't boot into my phone and it eventually restarted back into recovery which i still had twrp this time. I then tried it again with 19.3 and the same thing happened. can anyone tell me what is going on here? What am I missing? I have been having reflash factory 9.0 build each time just to get it to remove the patched boot image and boot up again.

Help, MMB29Q update wipes TWRP

Hi all,
Recently I updated my Nexus 5 from Lollipop to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) - latest build.
everything stock works fine but, once I flash a customer recovery, in my case TWRP it stops working...I get either a startup loop or TWRP gets erased by stock recovery.
I tried various steps ...
flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 - rebooted to boot loader was able to get into TWRP but, once I reboot system, everything works but TWRP is gone/erased and replaced by stock recovery?
Flash TWRP 2.8.7.1, then flash latest TWRP 3.0, reboot to boot loader and can get into TWRP but once i reboot into system, I am stuck on the initial boot loop.
I have to start from scratch of flashing system and boot etc to get past the loop and it still replaces TWRP with stock recovery.
I can always get into Fastboot but when I go to recovery it seems its being replaced by stock recovery.
anyone experiencing this issue? thanks for your help.
I guess I am doing something stupid but, not sure what...and thanks for your help
If you give more detail on the steps you are taking it will be easier for someone to help. Also, have you tried doing a factory reset when it bootloops?
thanks for the response..here are the details..
I had Lollipop with TWRP 2.8.7.1
yesterday, I downloaded latest build from android site...extracted all files....booted into bootloader and flashed all files..
rebooted - Marshmallow works perfectly...offcourse it not rooted yet or its locedback due to this flash
Scenario:1
So downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.1 and flashed it as recovery, no errors nothing...i rebooted to bootloader and went to recovery to confirm TWRP is there
I rebooted the system - TWRP gives option to root which I said yes so its rooted. I reboot system, this goes into bootloop - I wait for say 5-10 min in this loop mode and I see that adb can recognize the device but nothing else....its stuck in loop
when I force shut down by holding power button for few sec - and go back bootloader/recovery - TWRP is still there
***note*** I did factory wipe in TWRP but that did not fix above condition.
Scenario2:
exact same steps but after I flashed twrp2.8.7.1, I rebooted bootloader and flashed twrp 3.0 as well confirmed twrp 3.0 is flashed and rebooted system - phone start normally no issues - when I restart to bootloader - no TWRP exists, its replaced by stock recovery
Scenario 2, I tried couple of other ways and still the same thing happens - twrp 3.0 get erased.
not sure what I am doing wrong but TWRP doesn't stick
since this is my active device - i flash system.img and boot.img to get the phone to working condition
thanks for your help

That did the trick.....thank you very much. I was using older version of supersu thinking it was latest.....I downloaded V2.65 and installed it and that fixed all my troubles..

MotoG XT1032 unable to boot into OS or Recovery

Hi all
I decided to try RR 5.8.5 on my wife's old 1st-gen MotoG this evening. so I downloaded RR from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-3-t3590536,
visited twrp.me and downloaded the latest TWRP for the Moto G (2013, Falcon).
The bootloader on this device is unlocked from previous fiddling I did so I simply booted into fastboot mode, flashed the recovery and then booted into TWRP as normal. I then flashed the RR, GAPPS along with Magisk v14 and proceeded to reboot.
The device then proceeded to bootloop so I tried entering recovery only to discover it kept looping back to the boot screen as well.
So I seem to be stuck with no ability to boot the OS or enter Recovery but Fastboot works fine. I tried reflashing the recovery but no dice.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hmmmmm, okay, so after reflashing recovery about 10 times I managed to get back in to TWRP. Going to try wiping and flashing just RR and GAPPS, since it seems this RR rom includes Magisk anyway...
Okay, disaster averted. It seems that installing Magisk v14.0 over Magisk v14.5 (which came bundled into the ROM) caused a minor explosion

[Help] Messed up with rooting etc.

Hey Guys,
i think i messed it up with my device
coming from stock
the steps i did
i opened bootloader
flashed the twrp.img
flashed latest elementalx kernel zip in twrp for LZMA support
rebooted the device and all seemed ok. the device have booted end everything was wiped.
rebooted into recovery and flashed latest magisk.zip
wiped cache and rebooted the device
now i have the problem that the device is stuck into bootloop
after some tries the device shuts down and reboots into twrp
i did a factory wipe. same bootloop
so i tired now to flash magist unistaller.zip but i get same bootloop issues
what next?
flash a custom rom?
thx for help
I guess it's because you flashed the TWRP img instead booting. The right steps to install permanently the TWRP are:
1) boot TWRP image (no flash)
2) flash kernel with LZMA compatibility
3) flash TWRP installer zip (+magisk)
Ok flashed a custom rom over the hickups
Now everything works perfectly

A11 boot bugged

tried updating to A11, installed to inactive slot, and rebooted but I don't boot into the OS I just boot into stock recovery can't boot the phone normally, I can flash TWRP and format the phone and it'll work normally, any reason why its doing this?
ah nevermind the issue still persists but got around it by formatting the phone which pretty much reset OOS 11 on my phone and let me boot normally

Question How to root android 13

Okay so I was rooted on Android 12 did the OTA patch in magisk before upgrading to Android 13. I was stuck on the logo for a very long time so I flashed the original Android 13 Boot and booted back up. So then I extracted the boot image and patched it in the magisk app and then flashed it and the same thing happened stuck on the logo. So I flashed the original boot image and booted back up. Next I found a modified version of TWRP so I was able to boot into it using fast boot everything was working within TWRP. I tried to flash magisk through there and it was a no-go I assume it's not possible to root Android 13 at this moment so I'm going to downgrade back to Android 12. If anybody has any ideas or suggestions or if you were able to keep Root let me know how you did it please
Use magisk 26.1 and patch boot.img. it will work. Twrp will be replaced by regular recovery. If you want twrp use "fastboot boot (twrp.img)" command from pc and dont replace recovery to twrp or you will lose magisk root
Please boot to twrp, go to /data/adb/modules and disable all of them by executing "touch disable" in each module folder. After this try booting with magisk patched boot.img, it should work.
