Yep, that should do it. But for permanent twrp install you'll need a kernel with lzma support, otherwise it's fastboot twrp only.
Here's a twrp thread if you need it... https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3a-xl/development/twrp-3-3-1-pixel-3a-unofficial-t3943419

You download the factory image from Google's website to get the boot image then you follow the instructions here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/install.md#boot-image-patching

I've written a pretty detailed set of root instructions on the 3a forum. The instructions are exactly the same for the 3a XL. Just make sure you use the correct images for the 3a XL. I specifically don't link to individual images, but instead I link to the main Google page for all Pixel images just for this reason.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

TWRP and Root on Oxygen OS 5.0.1 (Oreo)

Hello people!
I have recently bought this phone and I'm now trying to flash TWRP and root it. Sadly (since it's a fairly recent build I guess?) I haven't found any tutorial to do so, and I have only managed to unlock the bootloader by now... Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
There's no need for a new guide for Oreo, the procedure is the same for all system versions. You can follow the old guides, just don't use provided links if they're not updated but find new files yourself.

Same here. I managed to unlock bootloader till now but I cannot flash any zip files of supersu

Look at any other guide as the previous comment said just use updated files for your device.
The short answer for you is to read up on 'custom recovery'.

If you are on Oreo, you have to flash Magisk once you boot into recovery 1st time.

SuperSU doesn't seem to be compatible with Oreo. So use Magisk as the previous poster said.

I'm not sure about the recovery version and it's not even TWRP. I just followed the steps that was given in some website.
Magisk v16
Downloaded magisk. Tried flashing it. Failed.
Maybe I should just try another recovery i.e. TWRP but does recovery of different developer matter?

Recovery does matter. If you are not on TWRP, are you on stock recovery? Then how did you flash Magisk?
Flash eng.stk's TWRP then reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk and then reboot to system.

Android 10 root/twrp

Hey guys. I accidentally (don't ask) installed the update for Android 10 from 9 stock and lost my twrp and root. Is there any way to at least get root back without having to reinstall everything?
More details will be needed to help. Bootloader unlocked? Guessing yes since you say you had twrp. Check the guide section for root instructions.
Yes I have it unlocked. I looked at the guide and it looks like I will have to reflash the stock rom which I'd like to avoid.

Since, twrp is not available yet for Android 10 (Q), I suggest one of the three following options:
1. If you have to re-flash the Pixel 3 XL Android 10 (Q) Factory image, do #4 'keep data' in this Guide.
2. If your Pixel 3XL has the latest Android 10 (Q) Factory image installed, just do #9 A. in this Guide to root.
3. If you are on a Custom ROM follow the OP Instructions in the Custom ROM thread to root.
Apparently I have the Sept update (QP1A.19711.020.C3) but I currently have no available updates. Am I good to just use your step 2?

Yes!
Why not do #1 update your Pixel 3 XL to the February Factory image (QQ1A.200205.002). You will not lose your data (need to reinstall anything). Then do #2 to root.
I guess I can do it that way. Thanks.
Edit: Do I need to use a custom kernel? I don't really require one. Also in magisk manager, theres no way to select the canary channel. All I see is stable, beta and custom.

Some people are reporting that issue. You can set the custom channel to canary/canary debug manually. Check the magisk thread.
Thank you. I tried to find it on the github site and found nothing.

Hey so I patched the image and flashed the file, I'm stuck on the screen with the google logo and progress bar. Also, does it matter that I used adb reboot fastboot to get to the fastboot menu? I noticed it said fastbootd which ive never seen before. It seemed easier to do it that way.
Edit: Ive decided to try flashing another rom.

For flashing boot.img you should reboot bootloader. Fastboot is a separate thing now for system files to be flashed. Boot, bootloader, and radio are flashed in bootloader, others in fastbootd.

need help with rooting my mi a2 lite

hi, I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to advanced android modding and stuff. I've never rooted a phone before so I have no idea where to even begin the whole process. I'm looking to root my mi a2 lite (it has the latest updates) and install gcam on it but idk how to do it so I was looking for "guides" on the internet. the ones I found are all for previous versions of android. I couldn't find a full "guide" for rooting this device with android 10 update on either xda or the magisk website. If some kind soul who is familiar with the process could provide me with a step by step guide on how to root and install gcam I'd be really grateful. TIA
PS: I do have a pc so I have access to adb and stuff
Magisk only:
boot a patched boot.img
Use Magisk manager to install (direct) to make it permanent
This method allows doing otas too. Look for the thread because I'm not going to repeat the info here. Patched images can be created by you or you can find one for the version you have by searching.
TWRP + Magisk:
Boot TWRP-3.3.1.img
Use twrp to install twrp-installer.zip
Follow the Magisk install steps
This can't do otas without manual steps. There's threads for TWRP and I've got one for doing otas (needs a PC).

Root Google pixel 2 xl - android 11

Hello everyone
Please can you help me to root pixel 2 xl - android 11
And is there any custom rom with android 11
We could, but it's important to note that if you have a Verizon Pixel 2 XL, root is NOT POSSIBLE.
Anyway, assuming you have the correct P2XL, the rooting instructions we give here in the forums haven't changed appreciably since they were written. For Android 11, they still apply, with the caveat that you currently have to use the "Canary" version of Magisk (i.e. the development channel version of Magisk) in order for root to work.
How about ????

That' indicates you have a Google variant, not a Verizon variant. So you're good to go with unlocking your bootloader, etc.
You should delete that picture as it shows your CSN number.

Brother please help me out. I've tried everything but I am just unable to root my pixel 2 xl running the latest android version (11).
I tried patching the boot image with latest canary build and it always outputs an image file which is of 0 bytes.
Then I tried patching the boot image with latest magisk manager (not canary), it was able to output a file which was around 25 MB in size but flashing it always results in boot loop.
Finally, I tried to patch my boot image using some other device with magisk canary (latest) and the output image was about 25 MB in size but again after flashing it, the device goes into boot loop.
--UPDATE--
I was finally able to root my device by simply flashing the latest magisk zip file (v 21.0) via TWRP

Yes, just to clarify for others reading this, topjohnwu pushed Magisk 21 to the beta channel. It should be on the stable channel shortly, so there will soon be no need to deviate from the established rooting instructions we have in the forums.

I had that happen. Unfortunately, the only solution I found was to use the online Google flash tool and flash back to the previous install. Fortunately, it worked. I updated to 11 from there. I may leave it uprooted because currently the Pixel 2 XL is a backup phone and I don't need root currently.

None of the rooting guides work?

Can anyone write an up-to-date guide on precisely what I need to do to install TWRP on a global-edition, fully updated (MIUI 12) Note 8 Pro today?...
There are three different guides and none of them work. I'm not interested in custom firmwares or anything else besides TWRP. I just want to install TWRP and magisk.
We are in the same boat...
Edit: N/A
Are you able to unlock your bootloader?
Also, pay really close attention to the warning at the top of the TWRP downloads page for your device.
WARNING: This device hard bricks really easily for unknown reasons. Restoring device without spending real money is impossible as of now. Don't flash TWRP unless you are an advanced user who knows what he is doing.

Additionally, there are a lot of weird quirks all over the place, which makes your device... non-optimal for modding.
Let me know if you really want help with this.
I really just wanted root and didn't realize you aren't supposed to use TWRP for it on new phones (especially this one.)

It's not that you're not supposed to use TWRP. It's that you need to know what you're doing.
That device you have is very easy to brick. I'm just making sure.
If you do only want root, that is very easy. First: do you have an unlocked bootloader? Second: exactly what software version do you have?

Installing Magisk from recovery is a legacy option and no longer recommended. The recommended method of installing Magisk consists of patching the boot image using the Magisk Manager app and then using fastboot to flash the patched boot image to the phone.
Installing TWRP is then as easy as using Magisk Manager to flash the TWRP installer zip, then reinstalling Magisk using direct install.
In order to retrieve a boot image to patch, you need to download the update you are using to a computer, then use a tool like Payload Dumper to extract the boot.img.
Kind of complex but it's the only option if installing TWRP without it bootloops you.

I don't own this device so I don't know any guides. The process is the same for most devices and the scripts will automate it for you.
Like I said, find a software update for your phone (search "miui 12.4.847.37586 OTA update zip" or similar), use Payload Dumper to extract a boot.img, transfer it to your device, install Magisk Manager and use that to patch the image, download the patched image to your computer, boot the phone into fastboot and flash the new boot image, and you'll have Magisk.
From there, go to the official TWRP website and download the "twrp-installer" for your device. Use Magisk Manager to install it. Then direct install Magisk to keep root.

Hey!! Fun fact, you don't need to use payload dumper for that! Download the "Full ROM" with "Type: Recovery", and unzip it. Inside there will be a "boot.img". That's what you patch using Magisk Manager.
