unable to unlock screen with patched_boot from August update - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

I used the flash option to install the August security update. I then uploaded the boot.img from the downloaded August security update and patched it via magisk. Then I installed the patched_boot via CMD from the laptop, and upon rebooting the phone the screen unlock wouldn't respond to my input.

I had no problems doing the same thing you did. Try re-installing.

Will work with sideload too, right?
hi
2WildFirE will this update patch can use and support for Nokia 8 TA-1004 Dual sim, i'm from malaysia region...
Unluckily it errors when installing on an unlocked phone....I unrooted it fully, rebooted to recovery and it errors always. Should I relock the bootloader to install OTAs?
No, you do not need to block the boot loader. You need to flash the previous full update 4.88B. And then upgrade to OTA.
I am already on 4.88B (rooted with magisk). No modification has been made on /system partition. I uninstalled magisk and rebooted: in theory that should be enough but in practice it does not work....

It won't if this is block-based OTA as Magisk modifies boot partition (with Android kernel and in A/B case recovery too). Quote from Android official documentation: "block OTA handles the entire partition as one file and computes a single binary patch".
Sure, but I uninstalled magisk thus restoring original boot partition before trying to apply OTA...

does this firmware are support for Nokia 8 TA-1004 dual sim...??
End of the story: I reflashed the full 4.88B OTA update and immediately after the new june patch: it always gives an error. Tried to install the june patch by OTA, and it errors in the same way. I have the doubt that the new patch is allowed to check the bootloader and if it founds it unlocked, an error arises. Anyone confirming that?

Ok, I assume that noone had problems in updating to the june security patches with an unlocked bootloader, so there must be a problem with my device......
Ok I managed to update to june security patches with this file......Had to reflash both slots (A/B) with the full june camera update (4.88B), then I updated through recovery and it worked. Glad to tell that the system is fully tested and working.
No news about July security patch?

have you tried switching slots? it sure wont solve the issue stated but it may restore the usability of your expensive brick :laugh:
Code:
If you are currently on slot A, type this: fastboot --set-active=_b
Or on slot B type this: fastboot --set-active=_a
No Switch with locked bootloader ?
Nothing work on fastboot with locked bootloader....
issue solved using OST LA 6.0.4

[GUIDE] How to root your Nokia 8, and keep the ability to do official OTA updates

So as the official bootloader unlock broadened the audience of this from tinkerers/developers to basically everyone I thought this guide might me helpful for some...
PREREQUISITES:
- Unlocked bootloader (official or unofficial)
- latest magisk manager installed on phone (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
- latest fastboot and adb binaries from google(https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
- latest twrp.img to boot (NOT FLASH), zip not needed (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/NB1/)
- Fully stock partitions (if you do not have this reflash latest stock via ostla), as OTA updates will do a integrity check.
- PC with WIN/OSX/LINUX with USB port^^ (on windows you might have to add .exe to the commands)
- disable automatic system updates in developer options, as you will still have to manually root the updated partition, so this makes sure you don't miss it. You still get notifications on available updates and can apply them easily(as you will see)
SETUP_STEPS:
1. Go into Magisk manager and "just download" the latest zip
2.1 Run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or reboot into download/fastboot mode via other means
2.2 Run
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img
(change this when your version of twrp differs)
2.3 Flash the .zip magisk downloaded in 1.)
2.4 Reboot.
Congratulations you now have root!
STEPS_TO_UPDATE:
1. Go into Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
2. Apply Update, DO NOT REBOOT YET
3. When step to finished and it promts you to reboot go into Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to inactive Slot
Congratulations you can now reboot and will have an updated Android while keeping full root.
ALTERNATIVE GUIDE (without twrp, using prerooted boot.img)
(works for newest patch level, where twrp isn't working yet)
this guide works on newest patches as long as someone provides a prerooted boot.img.
So basically you either need a boot.img available or twrp...
Hopefully this helps until TWRP is compatible with September Security Patch
LINKS:
stock boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/fnoizKwi8kNF3Rg
prerooted boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/AeHiE5HR2qonb3N
PREREQUISITES:
- same as above minus twrp
- patched/prerooted boot image (either create it yourself or use link provided here)
STEPS_TO_ROOT:
0.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or get into download mode otherwise
1.
Code:
fastboot boot NB1_prerooted_boot.img
1.1. The phone will boot into an temporarily rooted state,
2. Use magisk manager-> Install -> "Direct Install" to persist the root.
3. Reboot
Congrats you now have root even on versions where twrp isn't working yet....
Edit1:
Added link to all stock boot images from may to october security
Edit2:
Did the same for magisk prerooted
Edit3:
Added November images thanks to @czupyt
TWRP isnt working right now so whoever updated to September patch cant do anything except unlock bootloader. Unless someone can pull a boot.img from the newest patch so we can all patch it through Magisk and get root.

Simple Solution: A/B Partition System.
One Slot is the September Update, the other is August Update.
Update to September, Unlock, witch to other Slot with August Update, Boot Offical TWRP 3.2.3-0 (-1 not booting tho).
Now you can Install the Install Zip for the August BL and Magisk.
Bootup and use Magisk for Inactive Slot.
So did I, but I'm still on August Slot, I'll try to root the September Boot Partiton, and Install TWRP later when Fix arrived.
But rooted September doens't seem very... Stable

I'm already about to install the September patch again. I downgraded to May so I could root my phone and provide the clean boot.img from the stock September so people can root without twrp. And honestly A/B partition is still new to me that I still don't understand it

A/B system is not Complex at all. It's just having 2x a Partiton Group (Boot, System, OEM and Recovery I think) and having the ability with Fatboot to simply switch between group A and group B.
You Inital Set up Partiton A (Nokia did for us with Nougat 7.1.1). If you Update, the Update will be extracted to Partition B, aftzer finishing you reboot to Partiton Group B, leaving group A untouched in Case of Error on Partition B.
That's it pretty much.

On what step? Was it after you completed the guide? Or did the patched image not boot already?
If the patched image worked but it din't afterwards, you should reflash the stock_boot.img and redo the guide again because you probably flashed twrp and broke your bootloader...
As you can see in the prerequisites this guide requires a stock bootloader to start.

So did the prerooted Image Boot?
If so it basically has to be your boot/system partition(I had mine compromised too and couldn't fix it with just flashing boot.img had to reflash everything via ostla)
If even the prerooted Image didnt boot im sorry i don't really know how to help, as I have working root with Magisk on September patch and the Image boots just fine for me....

Also you could Switch slots to revert back to august Patch and use the normal twrp guide then... And run the September Update via the magisk method

Hey everyone;
My Nokia TA-1004 is on the July SP (4.88B_SP02) with unlocked bootloader (unofficial method), TWRP and Magisk installed.
Where can I find a stock boot.img to flash? I tried flashing the boot.img on this thread and although I can boot fine my wifi will be broken (I tried and had to restore nandroid backup). I also tried following the guide here but my OSTLA won't get past "Flashing Service Bootloader".
Any help?

You've already updated to March and booting OK?
Have Magisk Manager installed?
You could flash the stock file and modify itself with your install of Magisk and see if that makes any difference.
I'm not sure how many people have flashed this? Not sure if anyone else has had issues with it?

No I'm still on January, I never got the Feb OTA and didn't bother to try manually since it didn't seem significant enough but I wanted this March update because of the new Pixel drop feature set.
You can't flash the March boot image if you're still on January! That's why you're having issues.
You need to flash the boot mode mage from January, or update to Match firmware

sorry but this was my first time trying this, before all I had to do was:
when OTA was available, went to Magisk Manager/Uninstall/Restore Images (Not Reboot)
applied OTA as everyone ormally would Settings/System/System Update (Not Reboot)
then, go to Magisk Manager/Install/Install to Inactive Slot
finally, after installation done, reboot
but this march update is not appearing so steps I've tried this time:
1. Got the latest boot image
2. Patched boot image in magisk manager
3. Flashed magisk-patched boot image
please your help what's missing?

If you're not getting the March OTA, you need to download it from Google and sideload it. https://developers.google.com/android/ota
There is a thread here somewhere which shows how to do this.
The boot.img I shared above is for people who need it for Magisk and saves them downloading the ~2GB factory file.

Affirmative :good:
dang is it that hard to understand . if youre build number does not look exactly like this QQ2A.200305.003 then do not use these boot.img's
its that simple this is not to upgrade you to the march sec patch with root this is for people already on the march sec patch to use to gain root
FIXED IT!! After taking the March update I flashed this patched img the phone boots up to a black screen. If you use the power button it brings up a White menu with "power off" "restart". So then I turn the phone off and load fastboot and flash the stock boot img and everything works again. Any ideas? Figured it out.... Magisk modules that were running.

Magisk crashing when trying to patch boot.img (March Patch)

As the title says, Magisk crashes when I try to patch the boot.img after installing the latest March security patch on my Pixel 3a.
You are right, wait for a fix at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337
In the meantime, I did go back to the February security patch...

Thanks for letting me know, should've checked the Magisk Canary thread first ^^
However, I get into a bootloop when I try to downgrade back to the February patch. Guess I'll just wait it out...
I'm on the March patch as well and I was able to successfully patch the boot.img using the lastest magisk manager.

That's weird. How did you update? Magisk OTA, sideload OTA or flashing March factory image?
In any case, would you mind sharing your patched boot.img? I'm not sure I want to live without root until they fix it ^^
EDIT: Scratch that, it seems that flashing a prepatched boot.img causes a bootloop. They probably changed something in the files, that causes the issues when flashing the factory image.
I had the same issue with crashing while patching. I had to install MagiskManager 7.5.1 from the xda forum. After that patching succeeded.

But 7.5.1 is the stable/beta relase channel which doesn't even support Android 10 yet?! I can patch the boot.img with that, but it doesn't boot.
I had no problems applying the February update but I did it before it was available through system update. So I had to do it the long way - uninstalling magisk, downloading the update and installing it, downloading the boot image, patching it, and then installing the magisk patched boot image. It all worked fine though with no issues after the update.
My Magisk version is 20.3 and Magisk Manager is 7.5.1.

Weird, thanks for letting me know. I manually updated through flashing the March factory image and when I patch the boot.img through MM 7.5.1 I just get into a bootloop.
I did the sideload. 7.5.1 beta. Patched ok. Flashed ok all set for another month.

Could you upload your patched boot.img please?
It said file too large when I tried. It's about 30MB. Not sure what's up with that.
Latest magisk from topjohnwu's github set to beta update channel, March update straight from Google, bootloader unlocked. Patched with magisk 1st time, and flashed via fastboot. Booted first time.
Not sure what to advise, just wanted to let you know that it does work with the latest versions of both magisk and firmware. Did you enable adb and enable OEM unlock in Developer Options?

Thanks for the effort. Still ends in a bootloop for me. Guess it's time for a fullwipe...

Sorry it didn't help, thanks for letting me know though, but I'm out of ideas now

Is anyone else having issues with Safetynet CTS after the latest security patch? For some reason it doesn't work for me anymore. I haven't made any other changes.

Me too. It's the first time now with the March update.
"cts profile: false"
Made an account to say I had the same problem with Pixel 3XL and I did what captain sideways posted. I went to the github for magisk, took the apk from the latest zip file release and installed that. I was able to patch my boot image afterwards. Root works fine. I flashed the patched boot image to both slots. However, the ctsProfile does fail like mentioned above.

Question Can´t root December update in pixel 6a

Hi, today i flash the december update in my pixel 6a, now i can´t root, magisk patch the image but when i flash it (fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img) the phone join in a bootloop and need to reinstall the rom, any help?
I have seen below another thread with the same problem but they talk about the QPR2 beta and I don't know if the same procedure applies with the December update.
Thanks!
What do you mean? If bootloader is unlocked and you run 'fastboot flash boot "file" ' will it work fine.
You can also check the magic managers logs on /cache.

Make sure you don't have any Magisk mods that may need disabling and updating.
And no, the same procedure does not apply for the stable December update as it does for QPR2 Beta 1.

Yes, that is the procedure I am referring to, the one I have always used, it is strange, as I said, I have followed the same steps as always:
1. Download Factory image of december for Pixel 6a (the last one available in the web).
2. Extract boot.img
3. Patch it with latest magisk app (25.2)
4. Reboot to fastboot
5. Use command "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img"
The command is applied correctly but when rebooting the terminal stays in the "Google" logo and after a while it reboots and returns to the same "Google" screen, so in a loop.

I don't have any modules installed, it's a clean install of everything.
It will sound stupid but... I did the steps indicated in the other thread and I have solved the problem, I have root.
I downloaded the december image of the Pixel 7 Pro, extracted the boot.img, patched it with magisk and flashed it with the usual command "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img" and it let me boot without problems and working root.
thats crazy, Im on december update A13 and I had no issues whatsoever.
booted the image and then flashed through magisk instead of flashing it directly but still... if it were broken that wouldnthave worked

I know, the truth is that it makes no sense that I have given me this problem because I did not see anyone else with the December update talking about this particular problem, the closest thing was the post I mentioned with the beta, the phone had just arrived from the SAT but I do not think this influenced the problem, it came with the November update and I updated it to the December update.
You mentionned you downloaded the image for the Pixel 7 pro. I assume you made a type and are not flashing a pixel 7 pro image to a pixel 6a? If not then get the right image file.
Otherwise I suggest using the Pixel Flasher software posted in this forum. It's a really good piece of software.
No hassle with manual flashing anymore.
With Pixel Flasher I even update to new security patches with keeping root in like 4-10 minutes, by just downloading the image and then clicking a couple buttons
