Unfortunately, not. The pixel 3, 3a as well as the xl versions of both currently do not have magisk for Android q. The dev is working on it though. Keep your ear to the ground

Yes. The Pixel 3/3a versions use logical partitions in the Q beta. and it sounds like it's taking a major re-write to support it. I believe it is called system-as-root. The developer John Wu has been posting about it on Twitter. https://twitter.com/topjohnwu
Looks like Magisk for Q and the Pixel 3s is done: https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1143762674666229762?s=09

did any one successfully root q ?
I just patched the Q boot image with Magisk Canary and flashed in fastboot. Looks like root is working.
Update. I just installed Adawy and can confirm root is working. Here are the steps I used. This assumes you have latest ADB and fastboot setup
Install Canary Magisk Manager https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/app-release.apk
Downloaded the Q Beta image here https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
Unzip and then unzip then unzip the image-sargo-qpp4.190502.019.zip file. You should see the boot.img.
Copy the boot.img onto your phone
Open Magisk Manager
Set the Repo channel in Magisk Manager to use Canary
Install Magisk and select patch boot image option
Find the boot.img file from step 4
Magisk will path the file and create magisk_patched.img
Copy magisk_patched.img back to computer
Reboot phone into bootloader
From computer run: fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Reboot phone. Check Magisk Manager
Make sure you you click the Systemless Hosts button in Magisk Manager if you want top install Adaway.

Yeah, can confirm, did this earlier today!
Just a question, did you have the issue that many apps show up in the appdrawer of pixel launcher, even if they shouldnt? (like Google PDF Reader, Sd Maid unlock or sideloaded Pixel livewallpapers etc.)
I guess its because of the bootloader is unlocked (for security reasons)?! Just really weird. No other issues observed till now.
peace!
Not sure I understand the issue. Why do you think they should not be in the app drawer? Do you have these apps installed? I've had no change in app drawer behavior since installing Magisk.

To reproduce: download Googles pdf reader app and it will show up in your apps. When you open it, it takes you to the app info. Normally it does not show up, because it's just for viewing pdf's. It's the same with other apps that normally have no icon in the launcher.
Edit: saw your 2nd post. Case in point, i removed my link.

Interesting. I never realize that. I keep all my apps organized in folders so I only go to the app drawer for things I rarely use. I just assumed everything that was installed was in there.

just to make sure i've got this clear: this method allows taking OTA updates via this method right? because patching the boot.img takes a backup of the unpatched image?

That is my understanding from what I have read but I have not actually done it. You would uninstall via Magisk and it restores the original boot.img that it has backed-up. Then you are back to stock to take the OTA.
If you install twrp recovery then it is very easy to install magisk manager.
just go on your twrp recovery mode
Select advanced and select install root.
Reboot your Phone .
See magisk manager install successfully.
Any help about mi cc9 magisk manager just coment here. I will be ready for replay just like you want.
.
Or Download this file and install through twrp recovery.

I've installed magisk without twrp, just follow guide online. No need specific software because 7zip can extract boot.img easily from update file. After that install magisk manager app on phone, select install - patch own boot file, copy modified file to pc again, reboot into bootloader, flash modified boot.img and reboot.

Yes, first unlock BL to be able to enter fastboot mode. Apply to unlock bootloader with Mi account, please follow guide on how to unlock the bootloader.

Hi. Did you do these passages also on MIUI 12? Because I installed Magisk app, but it showed Ramdisk: no, and now I don't know if I should install it in recovery partition or not
there's twrp and orangefox that can be used for cc9 meitu/vela. Unlock bootloader, enable adb, flash custom recovery by fastboot. After that use custom recovery to install magisk. I'm sorry I don't use cc9 anymore since last weekend because miui12 notification and permission is too aggressive, have to restart app everytime so that can get contact info.
I get `boot.img` from decrypting ozip from `RMX2076PU_11_OTA_0250` then patch it with magisk manager then flash the patch_boot.img but got wrong boot/recovery.
If anyone can run the 2075-2076 with magisk please share in this thread.
thx.:angel:
Hello,
I have a problem with my FP3. When I flash the Magisk zip with TWRP or when I flash the patched boot image through Fastboot mode, Magisk is not completely installed. I need to boot et click on the "Magisk app" with a standard icon to install it and to access Magisk Manager. Without this, Magisk is not really installed since "su" or magisk executable are not in /sbin.
I need a way to manually install/upgrade Magisk through recovery (TWRP) to obtain the su. In my context, I have constraints preventing the installation through GUI.
Have you already done this before ?
I see the magisk method but it require boot.img, something that lineageos doesn't have. Any clue?
Thanks.

With lineage, the 'recovery' image is the boot.img. It's just the boot image with lineage recovery 'injected' into it. You can use it and inject magisk.
I think the better way to do that though is to adb sideload the magisk apk, but you first have to rename the 'magiskxxx.apk' to 'magiskxxx.zip'. Doing it that way will also add a needed script file to the lineage system, so that when u do a lineage update, magisk and it's modules will be in the updated slot.
cheers
