Anyone able to root the Dec update?

For the life of me I cannot root this latest patch. I have tried 6 times either with having the Magisk app repack the boot image or by booting TWRP to install the Magisk zip. Using either method forces my phone into the same state/condition. When the phone reboots, it goes into recovery which says the data on my phone may be corrupt and prompts me to either try again or factory restore (erase data).

i was able to. i booted into twrp, sideloaded the twrp installer, then the magisk zip and sultan kernel and everything is running smoothly for me

Ok, so I was able to recover and root from an answer given in a pixel 3 thread using:
Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL
- fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img (from December factory image)
- fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1...img
- install Magisk' uninstaller
- magisk-18.0.zip
- reboot system
What happens though is when I use adaway to update the hosts file, it breaks everything and I can't boot into system until I do the above steps again. Strange...
Do you have adaway install by chance?

Hi! I have no problem with last update, magisk nor adaway. I just flashed last update with flash-all.bat script, than fastboot twrp, install magisk ver. 18... and everything is working on 100%.

To successfully root on the Dec update you must use Magisk v18.0
[2018.12.8] Magisk v18.0 - Root & Universal Systemless Interface [Android 5.0+]
If you've used an older version, you'll get a boot loop into Recovery.
Side load / install the uninstaller from @topjohnwu's page linked above.
Then side load / install again with v18.0
Use the uninstaller first.

I'm on the December patch and am rooted with Magisk 17.1.
I actually just noticed the new update and am fixing to update Magisk. But you don't have to use v18. 0 to root December update. I've been on December update since it came out and rooted like always right away and haven't had any bootloops.

I rooted okay today with Magisk 18.0. It sounds like some people have had problems if they did not first uninstall Magisk with the latest uninstaller. That's what I did as a precaution (rather than just restoring the stock boot.img with the Magisk app, before upgrading the factory image).

I had issues on both of my Pixel 2 phones trying to use any Magisk less than v18.0
I also had issues with v18.0 until I used the uninstaller first.
I read that other people were having the same issue.
I guess you got lucky?

I guess so. I always open the .bat file and remove the -w so that it don't we my phone tough. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I enabled automatically granted root access and after a few mins after boot it granted access to adaway and after a reboot it seems to have worked again.

[SOLVED] Can't update to Magisk 18 on Android P

I tried to flash to magisk 19, 18, and 17 without success. I sideloaded and installed the newest april 19 security update OTA, I also grabbed the boot.img from there.
I tried using magisk manager to patch the image, I've tried using TWRP to install it to boot, as well as flashing with the zip... But both methods yields the same outcome, I get an infinite load (or boot loop ig?) and it won't work.
I flashed back to the original boot.img and phone works again. I also installed magisk 16.7 (by sideloading the zip) and my phone is now rooted again. Please help me, how do I use a later version of magisk (preferably the latest stable one)?

Try flashing the magisk uninstaller prior to flashing magisk.

I just checked my 4a with the Check for Updates button under settings and Android 11 is there waiting for me to d/l and install.

I successfully applied the OTA update, then extracted the boot.img from the full image (both versions matching RP1A.200720.011), patched with Magisk, and then flashed it, but now phone wont boot. Just getting the G startup logo for over 10 min now. Has anyone had success with this method? Is there a better way to do it?

Just updated with no issues, but I'm not rooted yet. Only thing I really want is custom accent color (red), so not sure if it's worth rooting.
Sent from my Pixel 4a using XDA Labs

hate to say it but I think at this point that Magisk 20.4 (Manager 7.5.1) cannot root Android 11 on this phone. I have posted this finding on the rooting thread asking if anyone has had success:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4a/how-to/guide-unlock-root-pixel-4a-t4153773/page4

I unrooted, applied update, installed Magisk Canary build, patched boot image from downloaded Factory Image, fastboot flash boot... and have successfully rooted my 4a on w/11.

Well I got an email from Google saying that android 11 was waiting for me to download. So I checked updates and it says my device is up to date. So I guess maybe verizon does hold up updates.

where did you find it? nvrmnd https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/canary

@tcat007 @fronto
For anyone looking to root, you need magisk canary, latest build at time of writing (20424) works fine for me. Took the OTA from 10 to 11 following the magisk OTA update guide here worked like a charm: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html
However, somethings seemed to have changed in 11. For audio apps like jdsp and v4a, you'll need to run this in terminal (only needs done once):
Code:
su -c settings put global hidden_api_policy 1
Also note that sbin is gone too (least on pixel 4a) so v4a app install won't work properly (it's being worked on)

You need to use latest canary
Stable doesn't yet support 11 afaik

You only need Canary to create the patched boot file. After it's been flashed, you can run Stable.
Just flash the pre-patched boot file and keep stable:
magisk_patched_sunfish-rp1a.200720.011.img

Yeah I dont like that canary Magisk so I used your advice and flashed the patched boot.img and then went back to stable Magisk. I am a little underwhelmed with Android 11 maybe its just me.

good deal...yeah I figured with the pre-patched boot.img, a lot of people could avoid messing with canary alltogether and just keep normal stable.
Agreed 11 does not seem all that revolutionary. ...but all is working well now with no complaints

Yeah brother all I was saying is that I dont like the canary design for Magisk Manager so I went back to stable for manager only.

Thank you for the upload. Can this be flashed in magisk? I presume no.
Can you clarify the steps? I'm already on android 10 rooted.
1. Uninstall magisk / Restore image
2.. Download install Android 11 / no reboot
3..... ? Then with patched boot.
Thank you

Its not flashed in Magisk. Its flashed using fastboot via a computer connection. With that file, you never need to touch Canary manager.
1. uninstall Magisk but you keep Magisk Manager
2. update to Android 11 via OTA or with full image provided you revise the flash-all to not wipe, or just manually issue each command.
3. make sure your 11 is up and running
4. reboot to bootloader, connect PC
5. fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_sunfish-rp1a.200720.011.img
6. reboot and open regular stable Magisk Manager
enjoy

I've rooted my 4a with magisk with the Aug factory image (android 10). I have the both Titanium Pro and Mybackup Pro - Do either of those programs create an image backup similar to the image I create of my PC using a program like Acronis, so that I could just re-install the Android 10 system if I don't like Android 11? If those programs don't do that is there any program that will do that?

Has anyone else noticed x google enrollment then updating message every (re) boot? I must have done something wrong. I got magisk working nicely. Can install itself, modules, ctsProfile is true, whatevs... But nothing else gets a su toast. Not too worried with it this first week or so.. I'll stab again weekend after next.

[OP7][OOS11] root not working with Magisk patched boot.img

Hey,
Yesterday i received the official global version of Ogygen OS 11 (OnePlus7Oxygen_14.E.35_OTA_0350_all_2103221233) for my Oneplus 7 which made me happy and i installed it on my current TWRP and root Ogygen OS 10. Afterwards my root and TWRP was gone. I read many threads now about that TWRP is not available currently for Android 11. So i was stuck with extracting the boot.img from the stock zip file and patching it with the latest canary Magisk (66e30a77 (22006)). The patch is successful.
After i flashed the boot.img to boot_a and boot_b via fastboot the phone restarted but there was still no root. (Magisk still showed that its not installed and superuser rights for Magisk also weren't granted->notification during start).
After trying and validating that i used the latest version of everything and also did a factory reset and tried the same handling again, i tried to use the latest beta Oxygen OS11 stock image for flashing the boot.img (same handling as before). After flashing i gained superuser rights and magisk was installed but no bluetooth and WIFI was working so there was an issue (is clear because it was not the same stock zip).
So does anyone of you might have already an solution for this?
Rgds,
Matthias

Hello,
Did you see this thread right below yours?
Android 11 OB4
Just installed OB4, anybody got a boot.img file or magisk patched boot image file? Also any news on TWRP for Android 11? Thanks in anticipation OK I was just lazy hoping somebody Elese did the work. Ended up using my OB2 patched boot image file...

Magisk canary can also cause a lot of issues. I'm using 22.0.

Hey thank you! I already saw this and tried it out before to get TWRP working as in the Oxygen OS 11 Beta but this TWRP version does not work with the official OOS11 for the Oneplus 7. It's strange that on Open Beta it works and now its not working.

Watching this thread because I'm stuck too. I either need locked bootloader or unlocked with Magisk

Does anyone already has a solution to this one?

I got the OTA today for 11.0.0.2, rooted fine with Magisk 22.1. Check out my guide:

Thank you man it worked ! i hope others are seeing also your intructions and files so they can use them and have root back again

Lost root after installing TWRP. Can anyone share patched boot image for 11.0.5.1.GM21AA?

As above, I would appreciate it if someone could share a copy of a Magisk patched 11.0.5.1.GM21AA boot image. Thanks!
P.S. - Do not update to Magisk 24 or 24.1 unless you want to have to mess around with your phone!

I also had problems with updating Magisk trough the app. No root after reboot.
Could not get root access with flashing magisk in twrp. I tried several version of magisk but nothing worked. Ended up using the patched boot.img
Dont know what the problem is.

How did you do??
I tried to downgrade Magisk to 23.0 due to the lack of Magisk Hide but now my OnePlus 7 Pro is no longer rooted. So I tried to re-root it in several ways (flashing boot.img previously patched with Magisk Manager or by directly installing Magisk.zip with TWRP) but nothing to do, still without root...
I would like to try to use another boot.img but I would need one taken from a rom 11.0.5.1.GM21BA and patched with Magisk 23. I can't find it on the net.

Once you've upgraded to 24 or 24.1 it seems that the only way to go back to an older version is to use the built-in uninstall button in the Magisk app. Just trying to flash a new boot image over it doesn't seem to stick.
In my case, I had to:
Uninstall any version of the Magisk app
Install 24.1
Extract the boot image using Payload Dumper
Creating a 24.1 patched boot image to re-root my device
Uninstalling 24.1 using the uninstall button in the Magisk app
Install Canary Magisk (23 should work too)
Create a new 23 patched boot image and root using it
Still have not gotten around to fixing my MagiskHide and SafetyNet failing though, I think that requires some cache clearing and other steps to resolve. Also somehow managed to get rid of my TWRP accidentally along the way too, so I'll have to reinstall that again.

Thanks a lot!

I only see an "Install" button in the Magisk 24.1 app. I don't see an "Uninstall" button.
Were you already rooted when you saw the Uninstall button?

See steps 1-4. You have to temporarily root it by flashing a patched boot image (that was patched with 24.1) so that you can use the root privileges to uninstall Magisk. It's kinda ass-backwards I know...lol

Yep, that's weird. I was having (a ton of) trouble getting my phone rooted at the time, so that's why I didn't see it.
