Got Canary working, can't update build prop? - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

Wanted to do the old hotspot trick (net.tethering.noprovisioning=true) but the build prop won't save. Any ideas?
Also trying to load adaway in data/hosts and data/data/host fail.
But magisk modules will install and work.

Search on XDA for Tethering Enabler for Magisk. It's working for me not sure about Adaway.

Regarding adaway, make sure you set "systemless hosts" mode in Magisk settings. Not sure of the exact name of the setting at the moment as I do not currently have Magisk installed...

I wasn't able to get /system rw which limited options on enabling tether.
Adjusting magisk for systemless hosts worked fine for me but I was never able to get tethering working on q. I went back to 9 until things smooth out a bit.

Huh. I'll have to keep it in mind if I try to re enable tether after an OTA. I managed to find a guide that worked by setting it in terminal.

Oddly enough I couldnt get any of that to work. Until I installed busy box and installed the system less host module via magisk.

As for tethering I got it working cherry! I can't find the exact guide I found but this is the same. Had to install busy box and whatnot but, it worked. Found this guide on XDA but this link has the same steps. Be warned though, 4 isn't "add new/custom", for me, I had to press 5 not 4. https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-enable-native-tethering-on-rooted-pixel-3-3xl/
Not sure what tether_dun_required 0 does. But it worked like a charm and persists after reboot now.
Thanks everybody, got it all working now. Couldn't have done it without ya!

What is the name of the system less magisk module you installed so I use the right one.

Click the systemless option in the Magisk settings. It will install the correct module for you.

I did that is just causes a pop up that says added systemless host module. Adaway still gives me a syslink error?

You need to reboot after that and then enable Adaway.

This worked perfectly. Adaway is my favorite piece of software. Thank you. I had also installed busybox, based on an earlier comment. Not sure if that was necessary.

Specific Variant of Xposed works on Qualcomm's Perry ( APK Link in OP)

https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....ed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268/amp/
The thing is.... I went to the app to get the program and Magisk wouldn't install the program on it's end. Took a shot and installed the apk (SDK 25), then installed the 88.1 version shown in the picture (now 88.2) rebooted and waited to "upgrade" itself.... But here it is plain as day. I'm not saying you may get it running on yours but it worked for me. Happy testing y'all,
SykkNyzz
And apparently Gravity Box for Nougat just came out 2 days ago at the time of this post.
Just ticked to center the time. Perfecto.
Reboot and such work as well
Nav Bar as well (note swapped buttons and added menu)
Even the Expanded Desktop works.
I can't get any modules to install in magisk on this phone. Tried systemless Xposed and nothing. How did you install it?
That looks like system install. Systemless usually says it like in this screenshot.
Did you install magisk with the zip in recovery, or modified boot.img? Systemless Xposed would be nice, hoping to get working on mine.

OK. I got system install working on mine too. Yours looks like system install too, not systemless. The xposed app downloads normal system install. You should change the name of the thread since it's not actually systemless. Just to avoid confusion.

Well, the app itself from the website is stated as such. As where I can see where you are coming from. Thank you for the heads up.

I can't get any magisk modules to work either, I was genuinely hoping you had it here. I've noticed you're pretty active in the forums for this phone.
Glad you showed xposed working, it helped me decide to try it.

[SOLVED] Adaway not blocking ads? (rooted)

Upgrading to OOS 4.7.4 has fixed this for me.
Hi guys,
Just got this phone the other day and it seems that I can't get adaway to actually block any ads? I got magisk su, the app works (I can grant it root, it updates the hosts files successfully, I've rebooted, etc) but none of the ads in chrome actually get blocked, for example.
I've done this for every other phone I've previously had without issue, so I was wondering if you have any thoughts around what might be happening?
Thanks.

I have tried with it both enabled and disabled (and with reboots in between). The box in Adaway gets checked automatically as well.
In terms of versions:
OOS: 4.7.2
Magisk: 14.0
Adaway: 3.2

No, I'm on Oxygen 4.7.2.
Not sure what to tell you. I have stock OOS, rooted with Magisk 14.0, using AdAway 3.2.
Attached are my settings. Check and see?
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Oddly enough, upgrading to OOS 4.7.4 has fixed this for me. Will update the initial post in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Any way to hide root from specific apps?

Since rooting my 3XL, I've found several apps that detect root and will no longer work. I can live without them and work around it, but it's annoying. Does anyone know if there is a way to hide my root status from these apps? I've found mentions of some xposed modules that do this, but I'm apprehensive about trying them out quite yet.

In Magisk look for Magic Hide. Open it up and check the box next to the app. You have to be on a newer canary bild for it to work.

Thanks. I'm not sure how to tell which build I'm using, I'm using whatever was in the Root thread https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
I'm assuming im not using the Canary build since I didn't see that module. Mind telling me how to check or update?

I don't see the module you referenced. There is Shellhide that says it's an alternative to Magisk Hide. In Magisk settings there is Magisk hide but it's just on or off, and was already on. So if that's it, it doesn't work for my purpose.
There are some apps that Magisk cannot hide from. This is my first Android phone that I have decided not to unlock the Bootloader on it. I am fine with stock, and don't need what root has to offer. Besides I like being able to use Android Pay and not have to play Cat and Mouse upgrading Magisk every time Android catches up to it.

Yes, I meant inside Magisk. If you have the check box next to the app checked and it is still finding it you are probably out of luck. Some apps are not fixable.
You can also go in settings and hit hide Magisk manager. That sometimes helps.

Viper4Android not processing

Anyone able to get Viper4Android to process? I have it installed through Magisk and it works when first installed but eventually stops. Only way to get it working again is to reboot.
I think it stops when changing output forms. Instead of rebooting fully, try hitting the 3 dots on the top right of the app and hitting exit and then relaunching the app.
I tried that and force closing it. Didn't work but what seems to have fixed it was uninstalling the driver...it then asked for root permission to do that. After a restart everything is working even when changing apps. We'll see if it's permanent or not. Thanks for the reply though.
Try this: uninstall your current module, reboot, and install this apk. It's an unofficial material design 2 viper that auto generates a magisk module when you install it for your device. I got mine working properly.
Thanks, I'll try that. Been having to reboot again.
Well along with the acp and aml modules that method worked. Hopefully this sticks. Thank you for your help!

That's what I have, and it worked at first but not any longer on Pixel 3a.
Are there other modules that should be installed, or can't be, as well?

I only know about that module, and the one from ahrion and Zackptg5 (here).
Have you tried in this module enabling the compatibility mode and reboot?

Workaround for Magisk + Bank apps

Hey guys.
I would like to ask you, if it's possible to use bank apps + root on this device?
I tried it yesterday several times and couldn't get it to work. On my previous phones if worked perfectly.
What I did:
- unlock OP7T
- root with self-made Magisk patched boot
- hide Magisk Manager itself
- hide the bank app
It worked even yesterday on my other phone, before I switched to 7T.
I'm wondering why it doesn't work on 7T and maybe there is some fix for it?
What happens when you try the bank apps? I've used several (US Bank, Chase, Discover, etc.), and haven't had any issues
It could be detecting another root app or even a folder associated with a root app (Pokemon Go does this with the Magisk Folder). Start digging through your storage to see if there's anything that might be root related.

Did that too. But something doesn't work correctly.
Rootchecker says I'm rooted and also magisk says installed. Also the apps have root rights in magisk. But root doesn't work lol.
I have completely uninstalled magisk and reflashed it again. Root works now. But magisk hide is broken. Maybe OxygenOS is the reason.

Oxygen os cant be the reason when its working for everyone else....start everything again afresh. Something you are messing up...i would restore the phone with msmdownload tool to be sure everything is back to normal then start everythung again

Yep I thought the same to start with MSMTool.
I never used OxygenOS also on the other OnePlus devices. That's why I thought there is something wrong with it.
BTW which version of magisk do you guys use?
Here it works great. Have hide my bankapp in magisk, than repack magisk have give it the name "funny" now my bankapp works great. I use the latest Canary magisk
