Help rooting Pixel C!! - Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been using WugFresh's root toolkit to root the pixel which has worked fine thus far. Recently I upgraded OTA to Nougat 7.1.2 (N2G47O). Now I've lost root and can't seem to get it back. Attempting to root the device through the toolkit no longer works as the file dependancy hasn't updated properly - "No-Force Encrypt" needs to be downloaded/updated. The link doesn't work however. I'm suspecting that WugFresh hasn't updated to the latest file to match N2G47O.
I don't understand this properly and information online seems limited. Can anyone advise on how to get this thing rooted again? With or without the toolkit will be fine.
Thanks in advance.

Just fastboot flash TWRP then install Magisk in TWRP. Poof... root.

To elaborate on this: download the latest latest "Recovery Flashable.zip" from http://www.supersu.com/download and copy it to the Download folder of your tablet.
In NRT under "Options > Custom recovery" select "Utilize Open Recovery by Team Win Recovery", then use Advanced Utilities to either
- "Fastboot Flash > Recovery" to flash TWRP, then "Quick Tools > Reboot recovery" to start TWRP
or
- "Fastboot Boot > Custom recovery" to start TWRP only once / non-permanent.
In TWRP allow write access to /system, then "Install" SuperSU.ZIP from your Download folder and reboot.

Thanks for your help guys. There seems to be another problem now though. I've followed the steps above and attempted to install TWRP recovery using the tools on the NRT. During the process TWRP asked me for the key to decrypt system data. I don't have one as far as I'm aware. Only my regular system pin. I tried that but it isn't accepting it. I had to accept TWRP leaving the system unmodified. Now I cannot boot into the system at all, only into the TWRP recovery! Why is it encrypted? I never set up encryption...

You seem to have somehow messed up your /system image. To restore it without losing your data, follow these steps:
- find the folder where your ADB.EXE is installed. Typically that would be C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data
- we will call that the ADB folder
- download a Pixel C N2G47W factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images
- there will be a "bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.50.0.img" and a "image-ryu-n2g47w.zip" inside the downloaded ZIP file. Copy these to your ADB folder.
- start TWRP. Press Cancel when asked for encryption key. If asked for write access to /system: allow it
- select Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. Select "Dalvik / ART Cache" and "Cache", then Swipe to Wipe
- In TWRP select Reboot, then Bootloader. If asked to install TWRP: Do Not Install. Should end up with "Waiting for fastboot command".
- alternatively: start your tablet manually into fastboot mode: Power off, then hold the volume down button, after 2 seconds shortly press the power button and hold it until a menu appears
- select "Switch to fastboot mode" with the volume buttons, start it with the power button. "Waiting for fastboot command".
- when in fastboot mode: start an administrative command prompt, CD to your ADB folder
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.50.0.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
- wait until it says "Waiting for fastboot command" again
Code:
fastboot update image-ryu-n2g47w.zip
- after several flash actions (be patient!) the Pixel C will boot into Android. It may take a while and a second boot can occur.
To install SuperSU you can't use the Download folder of the tablet because /data is encrypted (sorry, my bad).
If you can use a USB stick with OTG, then:
- copy the "Recovery Flashable.zip" from http://www.supersu.com/download to the USB stick
- use NRT to start TWRP without flashing it (Advanced Utilities, Fastboot Boot, Custom Recovery)
- press Cancel when asked for encryption key. If asked for write access to /system: allow it.
- attach the USB stick
- Install, Select Storage, USB OTG, OK
- select SuperSU.ZIP from USB stick and reboot.
If you cannot attach a USB stick:
- copy SuperSU.ZIP to your ADB folder
- start TWRP as described above
- Advanced, ADB Sideload
Code:
adb sideload SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
- Reboot

This worked a treat. Now rooted and running 7.1.2! Thank you for taking the time to help out. +1

LG G4 H815 frozen on LG logo after attempting root/TWRP

Attempted to root phone use ADB and fastboot.
during process noticed difficulty in getting recovery mode open manually and had to use adb reboot recovery, whereupon android recovery picture was there but no menu options.
Could not install TWRP conventionally thus attempted the method shown here.
"NSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install, then select images, then select recovery NOT BOOT, then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery. "
Flashed both twrp image and super-su within the TWRP booted from pc through adb (as shown in the previously mentioned method).
Upon reboot phone has hung at LG symbol. LED is flashing. ADB recognises device as connected however won't respond to reboot requests.
How do i fix this?

[root] redmi 4x root

Firstly this is my first helpful post so be gentle.
How to root the Redmi 4x
First off I am not accountable if your fry your device or shut down the power grid etc.
Alright. It took me some research and trial and error but I found the CORRECT way to root the Redmi 4x.
Needed files:
Lasted version of the magisk zip. DO NOT USE ANY VERSION OF SUPER SU. IT CAUSES BOOTLOOP.
TWRP for Redmi 4x
Lazy patcher.
Adb and fastboot files.
Step one:
Ensure your bootloader is unlocked. If not search XDA for a thread there are multiple threads showing you how to do it. Once that's done let's move on.
Step 2:
Alright let's get going with flashing TWRP first.
You need to enable developer options and enable USB debugging on your Redmi. To do that go to settings>about devices>scroll down>continually tap on MIUI version and a toast notification will tell you that you are now a developer>go to developer option under the more options tab and enable USB debugging.
Step 3:
Now that we've got USB debugging we can connect to Adb. Firstly download all aforementioned files and place them in the same folder as your Adb installation for ease of access. Now open up a command prompt in that folder by either typing "cmd" into the address bar or shift+right click and select open command window here. Now you need to connect your phone via USB to your computer and ensure it is connected by entering "adb devices" into the command window.
Step 4: commands
Here are the commands you will need to enter. I recommend making a backup of everything first.
Enter these commands
adb reboot bootloader
Fastboot flash recovery (put TWRPS full file name here including the .zip)
Wait for it to finish.
Now DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM.
Enter in fastboot reboot and hold volume up to enter recovery. If you boot to system it will remove twrp and you will have to reflash it.
Once in Twrp check the box to allow modifications and slide right.
Go to advanced and the ADB sideboard.
Now flashing magisk and lazy patcher.
Reconnect your phone to the computer and leave Twrp on sideload mode.
Enter this command
adb sideload (lazy patchers full file name here)
Now I made sure my phone still booted to system after this because every time I flashed SuperSU it would boot loop.
Once your back in sideload mode let's flash magisk.
adb sideload (magisks full file name here).
Once it's done select reboot to system from Twrp and enjoy your root!!
Again I say do not use any flashable root other than magisk. I don't know if I had a specific problem but every single one I tried resulted in bootloop.

Accidentally removed OS in OP3.

Hi all,
While trying to install custom mod i accidentally deleted my original rom as well as the custom rom from my phone. I can access twrp fast boot but while trying to install zip file its missing from phone. Any way to install any custom rom at this point?
Update : Restarted my phone ( well powered off coz of low battery) . When i charged and switched it on , twrp is not there . Instead when i go to recovery mode , the original one plus recovery mode is appearing.

Sideloading is the easiest option.
Boot into TWRP, find ADB Sideload mode (I think it's under "Advanced", not sure), connect phone to PC via USB cable and flash ROM directly from PC with "adb sideload rom-name" command.
This is a very short version, if you need me to explain anything in depth just say it

Sorry for late reply.
So, first things first, make sure you have working adb/fastboot on your PC (you can get it >>HERE<< if you need it; select Y for all options).
- download latest TWRP recovery >>HERE<<
- download a ROM of your choice
- in case you go for a custom ROM you'll probably also need latest firmware (CLICK), Gapps (CLICK) and possibly Magisk (CLICK)
- open command prompt in folder where you've put all downloaded files - hold Shift and right click in that folder > open command window here.
- boot phone into fastboot mode and connect it to PC
- type fastboot devices in cmd to see if the phone is properly recognized (should say something like "device #serial-number" IIRC)
- flash TWRP by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img
- reboot device into recovery mode. Fastboot generally doesn't support rebooting into recovery, but our phone makes it easy with that 5 second timeout on boot. Type fastboot reboot and as soon as it displays that warning screen press a volume button and then scroll to recovery with volumpe up/down.
You should be booted into TWRP now. Let's continue to flashing a ROM.
Assuming you're going for a custom ROM, start with firmware:
- select "Advanced" in TWRP
- select "ADB Sideload"
- swipe to start sideload
- type adb devices in cmd - it should recognize that the device is in sideload mode
- type adb sideload firmware.zip and wait for it to finish
- go back to main TWRP screen and repeat the steps to get into sideload mode
- type adb sideload rom-filename.zip
- repeat to flash Gapps and Magisk
If you chose to flash stock ROM rather than custom then you can skip firmware and Gapps and flash just the ROM (and possibly magisk, that's up to you).
Done! Now you can boot into system.

I'm stuck since I can't upload any files because adb doesn't detect any devices while on TWRP. I've disabled and re-enabled MTP and mounted every partition but still no luck. It's a brand new MI A3: I just switched on, unlocked bootloader and tried to install PE.
EDIT: I solved the problem. If someone has the same problem these are the steps I followed:
- disconnect the usb cable while on TWRP
- on TWRP go to Mount
- tap on Disable MTP
- go back to Reboot
- Reboot to Recovery
- Re-enable MTP and connect the usb cable

Id like to beg for help with rooting my RN 8 Pro

Basically I have rooted my old Redmi Note 4 but that was past guarantee so I did not care that much.
My current RN 8 Pro is still 1 year in guarantee so I literally do not have the balls to do it on my own.
Is there any good soul who would help me out with rooting it, pretty please? Thanks very much in advance
btw. I do know stuff about Unlocking Boot Loader, installing TWRP trough Command Window and Flashing Magisk...that should be potentially enough but as I said above no balls and do not want to F things up and brick it.

Hello once again...I might need some help
I was following these steps but after flashing this TWRP I cant enter into the TWRP...so far Ive tried holding power button then pressing Volume +; holding power button and then holding Volume+; even holding them both but still without any result...any chance you might help me here, please?
*EDIT: Im flashing stock ROM
Go to the system then do
adb reboot recovery
I flashed TWRP recovery once again, then I went for "adb reboot recovery". This is what happened after I used "adb reboot recovery" (attached picture). There is no sign about TWRP. What am I doing wrong? I literally followed the guide the flash of the recovery TWRP is successful. Is there any chance that Im flashing wrong TWRP recovery? Or that Im doing it on stock ROM? Usually its problem between chair and keyboard but I dont know :-/.
So Ive tried to boot TWRP through after flashing it with "fastboot boot twrp.img". It went through but it booted like normal so I ended up in system like when you turn on your phone normally.
Anybody, anything please?

First: what version of miui?
If you're on miui 12.5 this method will cause reboot.
If your phone is < 12.0.X its okay.
It looks like flashing recovery worked.
Instead of trying to adb reboot recovery after flashing recovery try this:
- When it's done, Remove cable and Hold Power + Vol. Up when phone starts turning on leave the power button but keep pressing Vol. UP until TWRP splash Screen shows up.

I was already trying that, if I do it how you typed the screen is gonna keep blinking with MIUI logo.
I was looking for the answers and I found smth about "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" to disable android verified boot, but dunno if its my case on stock ROM or not.

First you need to enter recovery, i think you didn't flash boot.
Follow the method below exactly.
Original post and files can be found here.
If error occurs..
1. Go to Minimal ADB and Fastboot in C: of your PC. Open Fastboot folder and Press Shift+Right Click and Select Open Command Window Here at the CMD type fastboot devices and enter (check if it's recognized the device).
2. Enter the following commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img and Enter then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Enter. We have flashed clean boot and TWRP.
3. Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. The recovery_fromboot.p file is already deleted earlier.
5. Go to Mount in TWRP check data, system, vendor, nvdata and now you can decrypt DATA by formatting in TWRP Wipe-Fotmat Data, write yes and swipe.
6. Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. If Chinese language change to English. If TWRP will ask you the password (this means that there is DATA encryption)click on CANCEL and get to the main screen.
We go to the mount, put check on data, system, vendor, nvdata and MicroSD card (if the phone has a memory card).
Press home to return to the main screen Choose Advanced-File Manager item >system_root / system / folder at the bottom there is a recovery_fromboot.p file delete it.
Go back to Advanced and select Close AVB2.0 and flash the archive with a swipe to the right.
Again, we go along the Advanced-File Manager path in the root, look for the supersu folder in it, select the SuperSu_installer.zip fileand flash it with a swipe to the right. This is an archive from Magisk_19.4 it will patch boot. The firmware of this archive should go WITHOUT a single error, all lines should be white and at the end of DONE. If everything was done without errors in the TWRP select the Reboot-System. The first boot will be a little long and Don't Panic when boot up check the Magisk Manager>Settings>Update Settings>Stable Channel.
I dont have any boot.img in my folder so I cant flash the boot.img. Having stock ROM and I have no clue where to get it.
My current ROM is MIUI Global 12.0.5; Stable 12.05.0 (QGGEUXM) and I think I just found it here on this link:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/begonia/stable/V12.0.5.0.QGGEUXM/
Can anybody experience confirm that Im suppose to copy out the boot.img out of it and then copy&paste it into Minimal ADB and Fastboot in C: of my PC and then going for the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as the last msg from Donkyshot says?
Tyvm
Id appreciate any help
Everything I did try is above.

Thanks. I used the boot.img and I was following the guide which "donkyshot" sent. But I got stucked right after I did those commands in command Window. I disconnected the phone went for the power button hold and then when it was blank I stopped holding power button and I started holding the Volume+ button. The phone was bootlooped on Xiaomi logo...I was waiting several times but nothing. At the end I had to flash the phone with stock ROM I downloaded through MiFlash...I really dont know what I was doing wrong.
