Question Android 14 developer preview 1 - Google Pixel 6a

So, has anyone tried the Android 14 developer preview 1? I have and it runs very well on our phone. Would love to hear your impressions.

I tried it briefly on my Pixel 5. Since Magisk does not appear to fully support 14 yet (Zygisk does not work), I ended up going back to TQ1A and am running the developer preview on an Android Virtual Device instead.

Tried it out just now, magisk doesn't detect root at all of a patched boot image, so its a no go as far as a daily use device for me at the moment

You have to use the Pixel 7 boot image to patch and flash, like we did for some of the QPR2 Betas.

I do not need a rooted devices, so I just used the Developer Preview to check out the new Android 14 release before it is officially released on my Bluejay.

Have you tried Canary 25206? Magisk reports "Zygisk: Yes" (with Zygisk enabled in settings) for me on my Pixel 6 Pro running A14 DP1.

If I can figure out how to get Magisk running on an AVD, I'll try that. Tried patching the ramdisk image, that didn't work.

ohhhhh. So just download the pixel 7 beta, extract the boot.img, patch it and flash it?

Oxygen open beta 2 available

Started to download but it is 1am.
Need to sleep
Strange issue.
After installing full OTA, I am not able to use magisk to patch the OTA slot. Option not available in magisk. Only uninstall.
UPDATE: I had a to low DPI resolution, 320dp. That was reason I couldn't see the install button.
If I reboot now, I will loose root.
BTW. I do not use TWRP
Anyway. Rebooted and lost root. Will wait for patched boot image.
Everything else seems to work
UPDATE: Used the beta 1 patched boot image to fastboot -- used magisk to patch -- root is back!
I'm uploading to Google Drive now
Thanks for sharing, downloading

Yes, this occurs when you use any launcher other than the OnePlus stock launcher.
While it wasn't this broken, in the HydrogenOS beta 2 the quick switch performed notably worse when using a non-stock launcher.
This issue, and issues like it, may effectively end up circumvented in the future when third party launchers start implementing their own recent apps implementations.

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 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

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.

Root Android 12 with magisk?

Has anyone updated to Android 12 and successfully rooted again with magisk? It seems from the Pixel 5 thread that there are problems with this..
I have removed root and restored stock boot + updated to Android 12. Have downloaded the factory image and am ready to patch + flash magisk patched boot, but I am reluctant to try after reading the Pixel 5 thread.
Sure, I've done it already.
Check here.
Worked for me too.
I'm starting to think that the 4a 5G and 5 (and presumably all newer models) have this restriction. Not sure why the 4a does not.

I have a Pixel 5 running official Android 12. I upgraded from a magisk rooted Android 11. When I flash the patched boot image in fastboot mode, restarting the device only takes me back to fastboot mode. The only way I can get past fastboot mode into Android 12 is to reflash the stock boot image.
Do I need to disable dmverity, etc.?

Question Can't root Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1 (T2B1.221118.006)

So with the beta QPR2 is known that Pixel 6 and 6 Pro can't be rooted with the magisk method.
m_pastuszek said:
Guys, see https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/6441.
It looks like Google released corrupted boot image.
To make it work, You need to path and flash boot image from Pixel 7.
Pixel 6 -> Pixel 7 boot image.
Pixel 6 Pro -> Pixel 7 Pro boot image.
I don't know what about Pixel 6a.

This seems to be the solution. I want to try to flash the Pixel 7 boot image with magisk path, but I'm afraid of brick / bootloop my device, can I do it safe?
Thanks everyone

You can root using 'fastboot flash boot patchedboot.img'
It seems 6a boot image has issue.
Use pixel 7 pro 's boot image for magisk patching instead of 6a. Also install latest Magisk canary build.

Can somebody provide me Pixel 7 Pro's magisk patched boot img from the latest QPR2 Beta 1 update?

You're not rooted yet... You need to actually flash the patched boot image(fastboot flash boot "patched-boot.img") instead of using "fastboot boot". Make sure you're running Magisk Canary also, APK & patched boot below:

Question Android 14 Dev Beta 2+ and rooting using Magisk ?

I tried Pixel 6a & 7 boot.img from Android 14 Dev Beta 2 and tried to patch with latest Magisk. However after flashing the patched boot.img from fastboot, phone is still in stock unrooted state.
Anyone has a compatible rooted boot image for Pixel 6a?

Think we'll have to wait...
Has anyone tried with the new Magisk 26.0 yet? I just installed the 14 preview, so I'll give it a shot and report back, if not.
Edit: Sucessfully rooted with the 6a boot image from the latest dev preview and Magisk 26001.
Are you patching the init_boot.img or the just the boot.img

The Pixel 6a (or any of the PIxel 6 series devices) doesn't have an init_boot.img.
Oh so I guess for the 7 it should really be the init_boot.img
I tried with the new 14 public beta patching the init boot with Magisk 26 and it's still not rooted.
I wonder if I patch the boot.img instead for the 7, will it brick my phone?

That's because the Pixel 6 series doesn't have an init_boot.img. You are patching an image that your phone doesn't have.
Patching the Pixel 6a boot.img with Stable 26.1 or Canary 26101 should work. It did for me on my Pixel 6 Pro running A14 Beta 1.

Awesome, was able to root 14 Public Beta on my Pixel 7 using Canary Magisk 26101, Lets see if I can enable 5G now. Thanks man.
Hi, I tried to root pixel 6a and got a hard brick. I can't get into fastboot and I can't power on the device. The screen is black and the pc does not detect it. What I can do?

The latest Canary (26101), Beta (26100), and Stable (26100) versions should all be the same at the moment as a new Canary has not been released since the release of 26.1. Canary 26101 is working fine on A14 Beta 2 on my Pixel 6 Pro.

Perfect, I'll give that a shot now then.
Well, I ****ed up.
I forgot that I was on the 14 Beta.
I pushed the boot.img from the latest, stable Android 13 build to be patched by Magisk Manager. Then I rebooted and flashed that. Of course it didn't work, so I re-flashed the original boot.img from the Android 13 build. That of course didn't work either, so I flashed the entire Android 13 package back over, excluding the bootloader and radio images and without wiping the device.
Now it's not doing anything. It doesn't continually boot loop, it doesn't react to a charger (any of the 5 chargers I have, including wireless) and doesn't react to any power combination. I think it's hard bricked.
Is there any hope at all? This is the first time I've ever hard bricked a phone
I have a protection plan on it with T-Mobile, do you think I can get away with using that? The device is fully paid off.
