Help please!! OTA with Magisk problem - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi folks, I've a problem with my Pixel 2 XL. I've installed Magisk 16 (1600) on it and I'm trying to update it (April update) throw official OTA following this guide:

Unfortunately I'm at "Security update installing..." "Step 1 of 2" since half an hour without moving to Step 2 of 2.
Can you help me please?
:crying:

I would strongly recommend downloading the full factory image. Extracting the zip and removing the -w in the fastboot -w update in the flash all script. It's way easier!

That has never worked for me at anytime.
Sideloading the OTA through TWRP works without issue.
My steps
Boot into twrp
Go to advanced
Adb sideload
Swipe to activate adb sideload
From PC run command adb sideload “file path/filename.zip
Reboot, you lost root and recovery, allow OTA to complete install, takes a while
Power down.
Boot to bootloader
Fastboot boot twrp
Flash twrp
Flash MAGISK ZIP

random question (my apologies OP, I'm not trying to hijack...)...
what version of TWRP are you / have you been using to do this?
...I had attempted this a while back and wasn't able to get it working correctly...I had to resort to THIS...

Boot-To-Root Boot-Loop

My setup
Pixel XL from Verizon
Bootloader unlocked
Bootloader Version 8996-0121001-1611091517
Baseband 8996-012511-1611190200
Android 7.1.1 NOF26V
Kernal 3.18.31-g367e645 Dec 7, 23, 2016
Twrp Version 3.0.2.0 RC1
I have tried following this guide to get root access https://www.xda-developers.com/root-is-now-available-for-the-google-pixel-and-pixel-xl/
My steps are
1. boot phone into fastboot
2. from pc run fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
3. the phone reboots
4. Phone is stuck with the 4 colored dots jumping over each other
5. i've given this screen up to 30 minutes with no results.
6. Forcing a reboot causes the same issue
7. Flash stock android via the official google factory image method
I have attempted this other method as well http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-pixel-xl-magisk/
But after TWRP says it's successful, i boot into my OS and there is no supersu and if i manually install supersu, it says no root access.
You are doing it the old way that was for 7.1.
You want SU 2.79 SR3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
And you want TWRP RC1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500312
I would not install TWRP at this point. So copy SU to your phone. Then boot to TWRP.
Fastboot BOOT twrp.img
With twrp.img being the correct name of the file. Then in TWRP install the SU you copied.
The old way... Sheesh, there's only so much space up here. But thank you. You've saved be a big headache when my XL finally arrives.
Edit: you boot TWRP, not flash through fastboot?

You boot it, always.
If you want to install it you copy the twrp ZIP to the phone. Boot it with the TWRP image file then install the twrp zip from within twrp.
Gotta be done that way. Partition layout has changes, they are a bit intertwined now.
I dont install TWRP anymore.
That was half the fun not needing a PC to flash a ROM.

That might be doable, I am not a ROM guy. Root and kernel only....and I always got a PC.
so I would just want to pull down the twrp RC1 image file, boot from fastboot without flashing it, and use it to flash the SU SR3? All i want is root access at the moment on the pixel XL.
if i understand this right, this will just give me SU with root, and not install any form of TWRP.

You will need fastboot, so you can fastboot boot twrp. I don't push the SU zip with adb, I just copy/download it to the phone before I reboot into Fastboot. Make sure you get Fastboot from Google, not the Minimal one.

Help Updating to December Security Patch

I'm running the stock rom on the November patch. I have TWRP installed with Magisk and the Kirisakura kernel. I've read and Googled for a solution and still can't get it to work. I have the latest ADB told installed but I am unable to push the update through. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? This used to be so much simpler lol. Thanks in advance.

From what I understand you can not do ADB in TWRP to install an update. What I did was download the factory images, remove -w from the flash all.bat. flashed the images and let the phone boot normally. Once I knew it was running I went to the bootloader and booted TWRP temporarily. Once that was up I flashed Magisk and then my kernel
I don't install TWRP anymore.

Adding to what hatdrc said, you want the full image, not OTA, and install from your PC in fastboot mode. If you are concerned about saving your data, remove the -w switch from flash-all.bat first using a file editor like notepad. Have the twrp.zip, kernel.zip and magisk.zip files already staged. I personally don't boot to system first (but you can), I "catch" the reboot after flashing completes with the volume down button to reboot to fastboot mode. Then fastboot boot twrp.img, and then install twrp, kernel and magisk zips all in one go using the "add more zips" button in twrp. Every month when you update, you'll lose twrp, kernel and magisk, so those have to be reflashed each time. You'll soon get used to it and can do the whole thing in about 5 minutes consistently. Just make sure to pre-stage the 3 zip files on the phone before you start. Best of luck.
I tried that but couldn't get it to work. I downloaded the ADB tools again just in case there was an issue with that. I'm going to run the flash-all script again to see if I can get it to work.

if whats suggested above doesnt work, you can make the OTA work....download the ota to your PC, boot to Android Recovery (not TWRP), apply the ota via ADB from the menu. Whenever I have "odd" issues applying the Full image, this always works for me. Obviously you need to re-root after.

Unable to flash OTA update

Hi all, I have TWRP + Magisk on my device and I am attempting to update from PQ1A.181205.006 to PQ2A.190205.001.
Steps taken
1. Downloaded the OTA from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota#crosshatch
2. Moved the OTA to phone storage.
3. Checked SHA256 checksum matches.
4.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
5.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-3-crosshatch.img
6. From TWRP > Install > OTA zip file
Fails with the attached error. I have also tried sideloading through TWRP with the same result. Has anyone hit this error or successfully flashed the OTA update through TWRP?
I have not heard of anyone successfully loading an OTA through TWRP. Either restore stock recovery (install boot.img to both slots) and sideload with the Google instructions or run the flash-all (remove the -w) to use the factory image. Either way, you ere going to be reverting to stock recovery.
P.S. Your message doesn't make sense since you say you have TWRP on your device but then are showing that you used fastboot boot to run the TWRP .img file. If TWRP was on your device, you wouldn't have to use that command. You would just have entered TWRP with the adb reboot recovery command. I am guessing you are rebooting into the bootloader screen where either you run the TWRP .img or run the flash-all.
I also thought I saw a previous post somewhere that said you cannot skip an update, so going from December to February may not work.....not sure...
But definitely you need to load the OTA via regular Recovery using adb not TWRP....
Can you install a OTA?
I thought you had to perform an ADB sideload of an OTA.
Even then I am not aware that ADB sideload works for Pixel 3xl yet.
I have been flashing the factory image with -w removed.

ADB sideload works fine for the OTAs in stock recovery. That's how I've been doing mine.
On a side note, the Essential phone is the only phone I've come across so far that TWRP will flash the factory OTAs.

Flash them or sideload them? I never had a P2XL, but I had a Nexus 6p and I don't remember being able to flash that with the factory zips. That doesn't mean my memory isn't shot either.

Did you first extract the secondary zip file inside the factory image, and then placed the boot.img in your platform-tools folder, and the used the command..fastboot flash boot boot.img....??

Tap install on the twrp home screen. Then go to where you have the boot.img on your internal storage and tap image on the bottom right. Then select the "boot" partition, and swipe to install. This will return you back to stock recovery and kernel :good:

Well I managed to do that, but now when my phone rebooted the touch screen no longer responds. Very strange. It all loads fine and I can see my screen but nothing works. I tried to go back into recovery and I get the little dead Android guy laying on his back with a red exclamation point and "No Command" below it.
Any ideas?

[Rooted] Pixel 2XL and System Autoupdates?

I really don't have a clue how to get auto updates via System Updates on my rooted Pixel 2 XL (Pie, Magisk 18.1).
If I check updates it replies that I already have the latest version (still from February 2019).
Is it possible to get updates via system menu on a rooted phone?
P. S. Sorry if I've missed a right thread for this topic)

No, you will have to manually update on a rooted phone. It requires a computer but only takes a couple minutes.

It will not wipe your phone as long as you remove the -w. Magisk and Twrp will have to be reinstalled but that's an easy process. Fastboot boot the twrp.img file. That will get you back in to twrp temporary so you can flash the twrp and magisk zip files.

Mostly personal preference.. if you use the side load method you need to download the ota file instead of the full image. I personally prefer flashing the whole image in fastboot. In my experience there is less room for user error but that's my opinion.

[GUIDE] Easiest way to root/magisk Oneplus 8 Pro

This method will not flash any custom recovery or any custom boots.
Caution: I don't take any responsibility. Proceed with your own risk and resilience in mind
Prerequisites: Oxygen OS 11 (tested with 11, issues reported with 10) and a PC with working adb and fastboot commands.
Method:
Download lineage-18.1-20210606-recovery-instantnoodlep.img or never version to your pc
Download Magisk-v23.0.apk or newer and rename it as Magisk-v23.0.zip
Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options under device Settings, if present.
Boot in to bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
Or press "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" when the device boots
Unlock the bootloader (Caution: this will factory reset your phone)
fastboot oem unlock
Boot in to bootloader again
Boot in to lineage recovery temporarily (not flashing)
fastboot boot lineage-18.1-20210606-recovery-instantnoodlep.img
You will be booted in to lineage recovery, install Magisk-v23.0.zip now
Enable ADB
Apply update
Apply from ADB
in your pc: adb sideload Magisk-v23.0.zip
Reboot and voilà.. you are done.
Cheers!!
Worked like a charm, except for some confusion in the recovery menu choices. After enabling ADB in recovery, I had to choose "Apply update." I was then given a choice to "Apply from ADB." After enabling that option, "adb sideload Magisk-v23.0.zip" gave me an error message about some kind of mismatch and asking me if I wanted to install anyway. I took a deep breath, clicked "Yes," and all went well. Needless to say, all others proceed at their own risks, but my IN2025 running OS 11.0.7.7.IN11AA is now happily rooted with Magisk V23.0.
Wow! This is just awesome!! What will be the downside of a rooted device though? Will I still get OTA update?

Yes, you will get OTA updates. If you want to accept them and still retain root, you'll need to uninstall Magisk and "Restore the boot images" so the phone will accept the OTA update. You then install the update from System Update in Settings, BUT DO NOT REBOOT!!!! Navigate back to the Magisk Manager app and click on "Install" for Magisk. You'll want the option that says, "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA.)" After that installation finishes, you can safely reboot the OS update installed and rooted.

Here I have assumed that the adb and the fastboot are available in your PC before begin. Step 5 should be executed from your PC (Linux or Windows) with the phone is connected through USB.
@mahendral
Super guide!
Got my OP8 Pro yesterday, less than one hour after unboxing, it was rooted
Why so long?
Because i had to update to OOS 11 (OOS 10 out of the box).
If you try your method with OOS 10, you get stuck at this step:
Boot in to lineage recovery temporarily
==> Stuck at Fastboot logo
Hence i updated to OOS 11 OB and it worked like a charm!
Thanks a lot

Because i had to update to OOS 11 (OOS 10 out of the box).
If you try your method with OOS 10, you get stuck at this step:
Boot in to lineage recovery temporarily
==> Stuck at Fastboot logo
Hence i updated to OOS 11 OB and it worked like a charm!
Thanks a lot

Abort Retry Fail? said:
Worked like a charm, except for some confusion in the recovery menu choices. After enabling ADB in recovery, I had to choose "Apply update." I was then given a choice to "Apply from ADB." After enabling that option, "adb sideload Magisk-v23.0.zip" gave me an error message about some kind of mismatch and asking me if I wanted to install anyway. I took a deep breath, clicked "Yes," and all went well. Needless to say, all others proceed at their own risks, but my IN2025 running OS 11.0.7.7.IN11AA is now happily rooted with Magisk V23.0.

Amended the steps to sideload with exact steps as you pointed out. Thanks
Mahendral,
Many many thanks!!!!!
The title says it all. This is the easiest way.
I'm on 11.0.7.7.IN11AA.
Worked perfectly.
And yes, it is the easiest!
Hi, will this work on normal OP8 version IN2015? thanks.
EDIT: so this guide is for both unlocking bootloader and having root?
The lineage-18.1-20210606-recovery-instantnoodlep.img is no longer available though. Help
Wow! This was so easy and so quick. Thank you SOO MUCH!

I just googled the file name and found a mirror with new images. Google is your friend, as they say.
