Hey there im looking for a while now but i cant seem to find a legit/trusted way to root my shield. I realy want to root it because i like fully customizing my devices and modifying apps. Please leave links to the right working software versions. I prefer: twrp, super su as the software to root my device. Also adb and the drivers are needed. Im not realy familiar with the new way of rooting. The only device i have ever rooted was a samsung tablet on 4.4 kitkat with a 1 click root app. All help is appreciated!

Is there also any proof that it will work and will the stock nvidia apps stay after rooting???
Also thanks!!!

I know you've already accomplished it. But just for the record, yes there is proof it works. Plenty of folks have rooted with both SuperSU and Magisk. Both work, and I've also used both to root this device; and the NVIDIA apps still work.

I don't think you really need them. Pretty sure I rooted the device without installing the Shield drivers. If any issues connecting to the device, than try the drivers.

Ok thnx. Im also kinda looking at migisk is there also any real benefits of using that on a tablet or should I just stop playing Pokémon go .
Im nog doing something with xphosed so that's not a big deal. But I do device customization will that interfere with that safety check thing?

Magisk is really cool. Magisk Hide works well, although it's turning into a real cat and mouse game, where Google has been updating Safety net to break Magisk Hide, but then topjohnwu updates Magisk Hide to work again. It's a bit annoying, but topjohnwu seems to have a good handle on it, for now.
Magisk also has a bunch of cool modules. Those are mods that can be toggled off and on, so no need to dirty flash ROMs to "uninstall" mods, etc. You can check out the Magisk module collections in the Magisk forum section.
You might also check out the new suhide, if you don't want to switch to Magisk. Apparently suhide will pass Safety Net. But I haven't checked it out, personally.

How are you trying to install? After downloading, try to go to "Modules" in the menu, then tap the + icon, and select the module to install.
Also, go into Magisk Manager settings, and make sure "Magisk Core Mode Only" is not selected.
Not all modules work with all devices, and I also think a lot of the modules have not been updated to the new template for Magisk 13, so that might be causing the problem also.
You might try to download a module(s) from the Magisk forum section, and see if you can install it. Once downloaded, I think it should appear in the Magisk "Modules" section, if you tap the + button (as suggested above). Or alternately, I think you can flash in TWRP. The forum has a lot of cool modules that don't appear in the "Download" section of the Magisk Manager app, so I often download them from the forum threads, anyway.

I know nothing about that particular device, so you should post in that device specific (Nexus 5X) forum, for the most accurate info.
In general for most Android phones, rooting should not affect service through your carrier. They might give you some baloney about not providing tech support for rooted devices, or not being able to "activate" it on their network. But as long as the phone already works on your carrier, rooting will not affect your cell service.

Ok thank you I'll be sure to check the forums!
Just messing with the android O theme
Engine XD sus
I see a lot of custom ROMs on https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development but I am not sure which to use. My main goal is to remove all the builtin Samsung apps that I cannot disable/uninstall like Calendar and Internet. I started looking at SuperMan but then saw it has a lot of other enhancements too. I also want to avoid my device being rooted because I have to install apps that won't install if my phone is rooted (GFE/BlackBerry Work).
LineageOS or Resurrection Remix.
Just disable the Samsung apps you don't want. That's the only remedy for you.
SuperMan is probably the closest you'll get to stock. If that's too far off, I'm not really sure of any other options. You could temporarily root and try removing the offending apps, I'm not sure how much the system depends on them.
There's also the option of Magisk (Systemless) root, which shouldn't effect root-adverse apps.
I have rooted stock G930F rom with Magisk and removed close to a 100 system apps. No bugs, no crashes, and it is the best rom there is, if you tweak it right. Btw, you can hide root with Magisk and install your apps.

Please take my advice:
Do NOT root your device.
Cause that has some side effects and nearly no benefits:
You won't be able to encrypt your phone again.
You'll have to install magisk to get some things to work
Do NOT install an AOKP based ROM cause there are severe bluetooth bugs.
Just install "BK Package Disabler (Samsung)" on stockrom and get rid of Samsungs bloatware.
PS:
I'm back to stockrom after installing LOS and I regret that step, cause it tripped the knox-bit.
Perhaps the BT bugs will be fixed in future; then I'll give LOS another shot.
Lol @ this lad above, get your facts straight.
On-topic: I followed root instructions from galaxys7root. For the debloating part, there is a topic called "Debloat your S7" or something like that, which helped me uninstall most of the apps, and the other ones I just uninstalled cause I didn't need them.

Rooting went flawlessly.
I took the TWRP / Magisk way.
OK, loosing all the data is quite normal, when formating data, to get rid of the encryption.
But it trips your knox-fuse with the following consequences:
S-Health does not work anymore. OK, there is a build.prop hack to get it working.
OTA updates will not work anymore.
S-Pay (and others) is said to not work anymore.
Encryption does not work or is risky (look at Chainfires post):
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72204306&postcount=978
No one knows, how long safetynet will be covered by Magisk. Btw.: Magisk is great!
If I am wrong at any point, pls correct me.
I only rooted to use LOS. But there are too many errors atm.
So I returned to stock and have to live with these issues.
So it depends on your usecase.
If you just want to debloat your stockrom, use BK- disabler.
If you want more, root it.

Thanks to the great work of @D3RP_ I was able to unlock my Verizon branded pixel 2, install TWRP, flash Magisk, and pass Safetynet Checks. I've got Viper 4 Android installed for audio tweaks, and I've installed the Magisk module that changes the Android Emoji to the more visually appealing iOS emoji. What else should I be doing with this powerful tool?
One thing I'd like to do is find a way to quickly launch my flashlight while the screen is off. Or at the very least, I'd like to customize my lockscreen shortcuts to launch the flashlight. I've tried the method listed here, but can't get the activity launcher app to work on the Pixel 2. It Force Closes immediately.
All suggestions welcomed!
Thanks for the shoutout xD Personally, i've remapped Active Edge to something useful (screenshot) but you can really do whatever you want with this guide. I understand the want to push your phone further and further, but sometimes you just have to be happy with what you have. LSpeed and Greenify for batty and usability. Whatever games you want since you pass SafetyNet. I'm waiting for the dev scene to catch up to SDK 27 for Xposed and custom ROMS, I know Lineage just recently ported 8.1 to OnePlus 5, so that would be nice on a Pixel.

So Xposed doesn't work for Android Oreo yet? That is what I relied on in the past to make little tweaks here and there. Magisk modules seem limited in choices.

Unfortunately not, with everything i've seen it's gonna be on Rovo to catch up, since 8.1 is just so much different internally than prior versions. We're at the cutting edge right now, so it's just a waiting game.
Per rovo's update in mid December:
I know many of you are waiting for Oreo support, and indeed I'm pretty far with that. 95% of the code are ported, basic functionality is working on Genymotion. The remaining 5% are obviously those parts of the code which are more difficult to port. I literally just upgraded my primary device to Android 8.1, so I can hopefully start some real testing soon.
I used button remapper to get my flashlight to turn on by holding the volume rocker while the screen is off. However, I still have to turn the screen on to turn off the light. Any suggestions?
Now I'm working on swapping the volume keys when viewing in landscape. It never made sense to me to watch the volume indicator increase to the right as you press on the left side of the rocker.
Which guide did you follow to do it all? Once rooted what is the method to apply updates since there's 2 partitions now?
Newbie struggling with ota with Pixel 2 verizon unlocked
My pixel 2 was purchased from verizon. I unlocked it and installed TWRP and Magisk 15.2. I am struggling trying to find a detailed way to update the newest ota. I’ve been searching and reading but afraid to pull the trigger due to my lack experience. Thanks for your time.
I'd like to add that Substratum alone can be used to theme the pixel 2 UI now that I have root. No need to pay for the Andromeda add on. I'll keep updating this thread as I discover more ways to take advantage of root on the pixel 2.

Well, thanks for the idea, but it had the same issue as button mapper. The shortcut is disabled after the screen is off for more than 5-10 seconds.
That's weird because mine doesn't behave that way. It will turn on no matter how long the phone has been asleep.
Running stock ROM not rooted, getting this error? .. bootloader is unlocked though
Google has Google pay check for an unlocked bootloader. If you are unlocked it will fail, you do not have to be rooted just bootloader unlocked for Safteynet to fail. You might as well install Magisk and let it hide that you are unlocked and rooted if you wish to use Google Pay. If you do not want to root, then just relock the bootloader, JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE STOCK RECOVERY AND NO CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED. Otherwise you will brick your device. Also, be aware that relocking your bootloader will wipe all internal data off the phone so backup any photos, files, anything of importance before relocking bootloader.

What are you talking about? I've been using Magisk with passing safetynet since it came out a couple years ago. I just used Google Pay times today with no issues.
The issue is Google will fail Safetynet if you just have an unlocked bootloader and no magisk installed to pass the safetynet checks.

Magisk DOES hide it.

I've also an unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Magisk installed and Magisk is not hiding specific apps. Simple as that.

Then Magisk must not be installed properly. You must have done something wrong is all I can think of. I use Google pay 2-5 times a day without issue and on the OnePlus 6 since launch, zero issues.

Done that, but made no difference. Just reading on another thread that it appears to be an issue for many.
Magisk Hide works fine out of the box (no alterations) with Google Pay for me.
Historically, when it fails it's because Magisk is out of date.
hallo dare, if you want help, post your Magisk Manager's landing page, then another of your test results. Past that, you should head over to the Magisk XDA thread.
Edit:
I guess I forgot to mention I am on the BETA channel - so not exactly without alteration.

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.

You're adding steps and no indication of why. Just install the update with modified boot.img and call it good.

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.

And wasn't it funny when you realized that root on Pixel is actually easier than everything else?

Maybe where you are, but not here and not in most places. So keep your legal advice to yourself, BRO.

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
