Introduction:
This is the Official Lineage OS 18.1 thread for the Google Pixel 3a .
Downloads:
Please follow the install instructions in your device's Wiki page linked below exactly, and make sure your device's firmware matches the required firmware listed.
sargo
If you don't follow these instructions, or use 3rd party add-ons (like Magisk) please don't expect support here.
Known Bugs:
None.
Find any? Report them according to this guide.
Notes:
The only supported GApps package at the moment is MindTheGapps, linked on our Wiki page about gapps.
Firmware is shipped in the ROM package for this device, so no need to worry about updating it on your own!
Kernel Source: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_google_msm-4.9

nice, I'm about to try it
edit: works great, I love it. thanks for sharing this post.

Followed update instructions, everything appears to be working fine so far. I was even able to sideload MindTheGapps after using OpenGapps back on 17.1! I'll be reinstalling my modules that rely on version detection for functionality, but I think it's going to be smooth sailing. Easiest major version update I've done for something in a long time.
EDIT: Never mind, Magisk is having issues detecting itself, meaning I'll probably have to factory reset - but that's no issue, I can move all my data to backups first.

I had problems with NFC on 17.1 (simply did not turn on). Any known issues on 18.1?

I'll give the April 6 build a try soon - I had some weird issues with Magisk and reverted to the final 17.1 build. Magisk had an update as well so hopefully things don't go sideways this time.
Side question - does the old flashable su module still work, or is that more for legacy devices?

My Tello T-Mobile sim won't work with LTE data on these builds.
It shows nothing in APN and won't let me add one.
"access point name settings are not available for this user lineage"
I put in my tracfone sim and it works.

After a fresh install:
So far so good on the new build with Magisk. Crossing my fingers Android Auto works, but so far everything else seems to be okay, Google Fi included.

As far as I can see so far, the update from 17.1 to 18.1 went almost without problems. KeyPassDX had to be reinstalled once, but now works again.
I had uninstalled the Magisk modules before. Magisk itself could not be uninstalled. But it was no problem. After sideloading the latest 18.1 nightly, reboot to system, reboot to recovery, sideload Magisk 22.0 zip, everything runs as usual. Thank you.

Android Auto worked flawlessly. I also installed the ElementalX kernel and KTweak with no issues. LOS runs like a dream again, thank you!

Unfortunately I get no mobile data after installing gapps. I'm using Telus as my carrier in Canada. This happens on quite a few different ROMs that I've tried. I will be willing to do some testing if there's hope that this can get resolved @npjohnson

I have never gotten any of the Lineage recoveries to work with my Pixel 3a. TWRP works using the guide, but I thought since it doesn't support Android 10, that LineageOS 18.x cannot be flashed with TWRP. For those that are using 18, how did you end up installing it?

This is probably our best Android-11 ROM option at the moment, correct?
I'll likely upgrade, since DU is still on 10, but:
Does Lineage have our phone's Active-Edge support?
Does it allow dragging across the top nav-bar for brightness adjustment?
I wish I could have the stability of LOS with the customizability of Bliss.

Having issues with this rom and MagiskHide. Once Hide is enabled the system becomes unstable and no new apps will open. Eventually the system just locks up completely. I tried factory resetting as well. Eventually downgraded but figured I'd try again seeing as a few updates have happened. Still having the same issue. If I disable Hide and reboot than the system works great. Has anyone else had this issue or is it even known? I have not been able to find anything about this on Google or XDA.

Does "update recovery" relate to the boot image? In other words, if the switch is off, will Magisk be retained? Either way, I should probably bring my update/Magisk instructions here.

1. Flash latest A11 factory image, let it boot to the welcome screen.
2. Enter bootloader, flash recovery. (EDIT: fastboot flash boot [recovery zip file])
3. Enter recovery, factory reset.
4. Navigate to update w/ADB, sideload LOS zip.
5. (Optional) Use recovery menu to reboot to recovery again, to sideload MindTheGapps.
6. Reboot to system.

Just upgraded from 17.1 and Everything works great! (Including the NFC)

Thanks for that, but I already tried something similar. After flashing the A11 factory image, when I start the bootloader and try to flash the recovery, I get the error message " FAILED (remote: 'Not allowed to flash (recovery)')"

Did you try "fastboot flash boot [LOS recovery file.zip]"? Emphasis mine. I should have been more clear in my instructions, sorry.

No, the LineageOS recoveries that I have been using are all *.img.
I found a work around finally. I followed the first few initial instructions:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
And then I was able to successfully flash the lineage recovery by using "fastboot flash boot [LOS recovery file.img]"
Now my problem in the same as why I switched from the LG G5 to the Pixel 3a, VoLTE and Wifi Calling don't work.
Oh, well. Thanks for the help.

Warning: Do not flash partial update OTAs (under 1 GB) on a modified device! If you want to use partial OTAs, you must first flash a full OTA that it applies to, and then flash the partial OTA from stock recovery. Flashing partial OTAs from TWRP will either fail or soft brick your device. You can return to a usable state by flashing one of the above full OTA zips in recovery.
Now if I have already rooted and installed a kernel will flashing TWRP wipe that stuff? I had to boot TWRP to flash SU and Kernel but did not flash it.

TWRP will only wipe if you ask it to wipe something. OnePlus is using the usual separated recovery partition style which is great so you don't have to worry about TWRP breaking anything by flashing it.

So that means it doesn't use that new layout which includes dual A/B partitions right? If the only benefit of dual partitions is seamless updates, I guess the traditional layout is fine or even better.
Edit: Both this TWRP thread and the Tyranus kernel thread came out pretty quick, and seem very well documented and professional compared to some of the other Non Nexus device threads. I'm impressed. I just hope the threads stay uncluttered. Thank you.
So that I understand, separate recovery partition means that I can have both TWRP and Oxygen Recovery installed. Allowing me to get updates and install them through Oxygen Recovery while maintaining a TWRP recovery? Also is it just a matter of booting into them via fastboot?
Perhaps, the step between 2 and 3 should be go into the 'system>about' menu, keep tapping 'build number' to enable 'developers option', then go back out and into 'setting>developers option' and turn on 'OEM unlocking'. w/o this option turn on, you can do 'fastboot oem unlock'
And maybe perhaps, before doing anything, why not update the system via OTA first? If the OTA zip is OnePlus official, you should be able to flash it using stock recovery, doesn't it?
side note tip: if you wipe the data partition in TWRP, the default would be ext4, but the OP stock use F2FS. I think it may be wise to change that before wiping the data partition.

Done. Should now default to f2fs on data wipes as well. (redownload, I didn't change the version number)
Yes that is an option.

No, separate recovery partition means you can flash kernels and recoveries separately. It means recovery isn't part of the system boot image, which is an idiotic design of the Pixel phones that is hurting custom development for them. See example:
OnePlus 3T (and every other sane device):
boot partition = system boot image
recovery partition = recovery boot image
result = you can use twrp to flash custom roms! any issues = just try in twrp again!
Pixel:
boot partition = boot image with recovery ramdisk that loads system (???)
boot_a partition = the same thing as boot partition (??? again)
recovery partition = nowhere to be found
result = flash a bad custom rom? say goodbye to twrp!
Can't decrypt data so can't flash any files. Just updated to twrp in the op.

need recovery.log ... i'm guessing this is happening due to changing default partition type for data from ext4 to f2fs, might need to change it back
in the meantime, setting default back to ext4....redownload (again)
in the meantime, anyone crazy enough to test https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/oneplus/kernel-nethunter-oneplus3t-marshmallow-test1.zip for me?
yes, this device is getting official Kali NetHunter support

Woah! Now official nethunter? I can test this Monday when I get the device. I would be surprised if we got copperhead OS too.
Another known issue: I can't get USB-OTG to work. Even in the StockOS, it seem disable by default and have to enable first, otherwise it won't provide power back out to the USB port. Not sure if this is related.

i'll look into it i guess, might be a /sys file we can trigger on init to enable it if you want to do the investigation for me

That screenshot seem like somebody is trying to run adb from within the android shell. I would just
'adb shell'
'su'
'cd /sdcard' or /tmp or whichever directory that's writable.
then run whatever command you need from there. Having another DOS windows open up is also a good idea. That way, one window is always running shell, and another is just DOS. so no confusion and no need to keep exiting shelf and get back in.
Fails to decrypt data. Here is logs from 3t 128gb model.
Black screen
Followed instructions to a "T" (haha)
Everything gets installed, i have root, but when i try to reboot into recovery/twrp - i just get a black screen. I can still turn the phone off, and start up the phone no problems, so its usable - but just not into twrp.
Any thoughts of suggestions?

How did you get root (superSU) installed w/o twrp?
BTW, you may have the same problem I had earlier, which is the stock OS is on version 3.5.1. You need to follow the instruction again, and flash recovery and boot into twrp.img After that, patch your OS to the latest via OTA, I think you need to re-root again after that.
just to be clear. Since I am already rooted am I just flashing twrp and swiping for Mods?

TWRP 3.2.3-1 for Pixel 2

Note: Do not use if you have multiple users (including a guest user)
Lots more information here: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+DeesTroy/posts/i33ygUi7tiu
I strongly recommend that kernel developers start building the touch drivers into the kernel instead of depending on modules to ensure a fully functional TWRP since recovery is now part of the boot partition.
Be careful about what you install on your device as far as kernels and ROMs go. I think there is a high potential for losing the ability to decrypt because of the OS and patch level tags that are included in the boot image and the anti-rollback features that Google has implemented.
MTP does not work in TWRP on the Pixel 2 and will not work until we have time to update the TWRP MTP implementation. You may still use adb to push and pull files.
Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.
The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, you will need to reflash root.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
3.2.1-1 has working decrypt with the February security patch!
3.2.1-2 fixes some zip install errors
3.2.3-1 supports decrypting Android 9.0 Pie even with a pin / pattern / password set

Hey Dees Troy
sounds good, does it work with DP 8.1 bootloader?
So happy to see it.
Nice
What a joy it is to see this post today. Thank you!!
Thank you! You're a hero.
I'm dying to root my Pixel 2. Does anyone know whether this alpha release of TWRP can be used to install SuperSU (and suhide)? I'm afraid to try.

i tried flashing SuperSU v2.82 SR5 and phone would not boot into system. It just kept booting into bootloader.
To get my phone working again, I needed to flash the boot.img from the Pixel 2 Factory image via
Code:
fastboot flsah boot boot.img
i've gathers recovery / kernel logs - however since TWRP boots i will post them in the SuperSU forum.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-alpha1-walleye.img
I've tried to boot to this alpha on my Pixel 2, and it just sits there and does nothing. I've tried two different cables. If I unplug, it fails, obviously.
Code:
fastboot devices
shows my device and I'm definitely on the bootloader screen.
Any ideas? I re-downloaded the sdk platform tools as well as the latest usb driver to see if that was the problem, but it wasn't the problem.

Note, this is BROKEN. Decrypt does not work yet and because it does not work, a lot of other things like backup and restore don't work. You can't transfer files with MTP. I have no idea what will happen if you try to factory reset. Basically, a lot of stuff won't work so if you're scared or can't afford to lose data or be unable to use your device, DON'T use this. I strongly recommend that you have the factory images already downloaded and know how to reflash them if needed.
I am not providing a way to permanently flash TWRP at this time. You should use:
fastboot boot /path/to/twrp.img
This will one-time temp boot TWRP so you can do whatever like maybe adb sideload a zip or something.
I am working on decrypt. The Pixel 2 uses a new embedded secure element chip from NXP. Most of the crypto implementation is done in Java and not in native C/C++ so it's going to take a while to convert all of this code and its many layers into something that TWRP can run. Be patient. I'll get it eventually (probably).

Question [CLOSED] POCO F3 GLOBAL STUCK ON BOOT LOGO. HELP NEEDED.

Ok, so for some reason, my poco f3 global (alioth, miui 12.5.1) is stuck on boot logo (the screen that shows poco f3) after flashing a magisk patched boot image of the same firmware.
I don't have twrp, also adb command to remove magisk doesn't work. any workaround to remove magisk using a fastboot command? :/ any other way? can I install twrp at this stage without losing data?
I am genuinely sick of this device, a part from the very VERY bad quality of the hardware, NFC did not work for me even on stock bl locked firmware, a lot of issues happened when I rooted it for the first time and made me lose data. now today the device updated automatically to miui 12.5.1 and made me lose root despite having all auto update options disabled. I am genuinely considering throwing away this phone if I lose data this time. please help.
just flash a new boot image without magisk from the rom you were flashing.
next time you want magisk just boot the alpha twrp the F3 has and flash magisk as normal from there

That sounds really good. could be useful.
Sadly this option in dev options was already disabled, yet it updated itself automatically. which is the thing that enraged me the most.

As you wrote earlier, you had root access before MIUI update.
Once you get root, use Debloater to debloat the updater.
Code:
com.android.updater
is one of it.
Maybe there's other ones, but I don't have this phone, can't tell much about it.

Alpha TWRP is simply an unofficial TWRP developed by Nebrassy. It can do most of the things. One of which, flashing magisk. So you should give it a shot.
Issue solved after flashing unmodified boot.img, thanks all.

Unfortunately it doesn't boot, I entered the fastboot command and it's just a black screen. I guess this doesn't work with MIUI 12.5.1, and that means Im stuck without root thanks to xiaomi
I also tried the adb command to remove magisk modules, didn't work, says inaccessable or not found
Cmn, stop blame Xiaomi and read and learn more before doing something that can mess up ur phone. Just a friendly advice
If u can boot to fastboot u can try to flash a stock ROM using MiFlash with "keep user data" checked....maybe u'll be lucky and ur phone will boot normally.

...But they did tho
The phone boots now, but still, I lost magisk and now I cannot install it on this update.
The phone also can't pass safetynet for some reason, despite having stock boot.img restored and leaving no trace of magisk.
All that could've been avoided if the device just did as it was told to, not to automatically update itself.

12.5.1
flashing stock boot.img of 12.5.1 (extracted using payload dumper tool) solved the issue
However, I can't root rhe phone on this update anyway, tried to boot alphatwrp and failed, Also safetynet fails

Safetynet fails because of the unlocked bootloader (most probably). Being unable to use TWRP is strange. Did u use the correct command in fastboot mode (fastboot boot xxxxx.img)? Also, what error did u get when TWRP failed to boot?

Thanks for the reply, yep unlocked bl also could be a reason, I want to think reasonably now
No error when booting twrp, just a black screen, tried to press power button or vol buttons and swipe on screen to unlock (even tho nothing appears) and its still a black screen.
Ill post on alphatwrp, maybe it doesn't support miui 12.5.1 firmware.

Maybe due to the difference between global and eu roms
Ik you gave all you can but what would you suggest to do for my situation in order to root this phone and pass safetynet again?
have you double checked it's not a corrupt twrp img, and that you are using the '2' version of twrp? (there's two floating around) from here
Download the TWRP again.
Follow the guide with pictures: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4288121/post-85137963
Do Clean Flash custom ROMs steps up to step 13. Ignore step 8, 9 and the flash part of 12.
If this way still can't get you TWRP, then you might want to try latest MIUI by Xiaomi.eu. Read somewhere it has built in TWRP, so once flashed, you have TWRP. Verify yourself by reading in other posts though.
Remember
EEA (official) is different from Xiaomi.eu (custom ROM)

Question Poco F3 twrp problems

I unlocked phone as normal and flashed twrp to slots A and B but in twrp it shows no internal storage, I tried every solution, but nothing worked. Only thing that worked was flashing xiaomi.eu stable via fastboot. When I enter twrp with xiaomi.eu flashed all files are shown, but i can't boot back into system (after restart it comes back to twrp). I don't really know what to do I can stick to stable xiaomi.eu, but I can't update it, I can't install any other custom rom, and MiFlash as always throws errors left and right. It's my first dual slot phone, before I didn't have any problems with other Xiaomi devices. I hope someone can help, things I tried:
-wipe everything
-change file format
-relock bootloader
-reflash twrp
-flashing different twrp
Thanks in advence if someone manage to help.
EDIT
I bought USB OTG adapter and can flash from usb stick, only problem is that i can't transfer files from PC to phone while in twrp.

You relock the bootloader, with Xiaomi.eu ??
Are you able to get to TWRP?
If you are not able to use TWRP, find Xiaomi repair center to revive your device.

Then MiFlash is your hope.
Use the 20210226 version.
Do not lock bootloader in MiFlash.
Post screenshots what error it's showing to you, so people know what it means.

I read somewhere here saying you can flash update zip through built-in updater. (Tap the MIUI 12 icon a few times)
Read from Xiaomi.eu tutorial to update:

If following their tutorial but you still cannot update, you can ask them how to, or read some replies there to see if there's similar cases.

The tutorial is how to update in case rom is fastboot variant since twrp is avaible xiaomi.eu roms are twrp only. It's working fine I will wait for new twrp version and then try.
Worst thing is that I can't go back to stock rom.
I went through something like this as well.
As long as you can boot into fastboot. Then no worries. Just Flash the official stockrom. If something goes wrong. Reboot into fastboot (everytime you do something through fastboot. If you keep doing multiple processes, you'll keep having errors, always. Well that's what I went through. Rebooting into fastboot fixed my problem)
But your last pic declares that it was successfully flashed though.

When u flash xiaomi.eu, u set up the pin/pattern code in order to decrypt the internal storage in twrp?
Idk what's happening there.
It's just, flash xiaomi.eu via fastboot, boot it and set up pin/pattern code, fastboot boot twrp.img, go to twrp, insert the pin or pattern to decrypt internal storage and flash the latest update from xiaomi eu, simple as that..
And I don't get what's the A or B slot thing, I didn't had to chose or touch any of that, I saw that thing in twrp but didn't touched it..

How To Guide TWRP + Root

Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19.
If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP as your recovery and if you flash TWRP then you will lose root access. For the advance users, they probably already know how to do this but I haven't seen any guides so I am creating one myself.
Disclaimer:
I am a Textile engineer and do not have the slightest idea about computer engineering but my passion for computers and gadgets has taught me all this.
So, if anything happens to your device, it's not on me. I have done this on my device and it worked, so I am sharing this knowledge with you guys.
Let's cut to the chase and start our work:
Before we start, I am hoping you have your bootloader unlocked and have previous experience on flashing roms.
Step 1: Installing Stock/Xiaomi.EU/Custom rom
Go ahead and install one for your favorite roms from the threads. Luckily, Poco F3 has so many roms to choose from and they're all good.
Step 2: Installing magisk.apk
Install Magisk.apk from here
Step 3: Installing TWRP
Install TWRP from @vasishath's thread. (You'll lose root access if you had any).
Step 4: Backing up your boot image
- Boot into TWRP recovery and select backup.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Tick on boot and untick rest of the boxes.
- This will create 3 files in your TWRP folder on the phone. "boot.emmc.win" is your main file that you want to patch via magisk.
- After creating a backup of your boot image, boot into system normally.
Step 5: Patching the backed up boot image
- Open Magisk app and tap on install next to magisk.
- Now select "Select and Patch a file".
- Go ahead and select the boot.emmc.win file that is in your TWRP folder created earlier via TWRP backup.
- This is patch the boot.emmc.win and name it something like "magisk_patched-23000_randomalphanumeric.img"
- Rename the file via any file explorer to boot.img because something when the phone is plugged into the pc, your pc can't read the file. So, just to be safe, unplug the phone and re-plug to read the drive again.
- Copy this boot.img and take it to the folder where fastboot is installed/saved.
Final Step: Flashing the boot.img
- Reboot your phone to fastboot mode via pressing and holding the volume down + power buttons (or if you have custom roms installed and have the option to boot into fastboot mode directly).
- Once in fastboot mode, type following to flash the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- once the flashing is done (in about 5-10 seconds), type the following:
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Congratulations! you now have TWRP installed as your recovery and have root access as well. To verify this you should have the below screen in your magisk app
If my guide helped you in any way, please do like it as it motivates me to write more guides to take my time out from my busy work life.
Thanks.
Very detailed and comprehensive guide indeed, however I just unlocked my almost a week now. Initially, I have 3 choices on how I will run my device after unlocking bootloader.
Either I use XiaoMi.EU testing non-root, AOSP non-root or worse can scenario I'll root and run it on stock firmware.
No I do not think that F3 users are lucky, instead I think the reality is the trend of really good coders and programmers have past. You think F3 have a huge variety of custom roms to choose? 90%+ above are based on AOSP, which I don't understand why we have 10+ AOSP roms, with only 1-2 difference. It's such a waste of time. They are only interested in making new custom roms, never in maintaining them. Always abandon project and go missing after a while. This generation is full of "enthusiasts", "wanna-be" developers most noticeable after POCO entered India's market. You can try search in YouTube, poco f3 then you will get 70-80% of tech/mobile influencers with tons of guides. The sad part is, most of them are literally talking about the same stuff, and what I hate the most they love to decorate their website with tons of ads.
Hi,
thanks for your guide I really needed it because I already have custom ROM, root, Magisk... but TWRP I used to start it from the computer every time I needed it.
If I follow your method I don't lose the installed apps and my data, right?

There seem to be so many different guides and methods
I followed nebrassy's guide for TWRP
0. miflash latest stock -> flash desired rom
1. fastboot boot twrp.img (3.6 official)
2. advanced -> flash current twrp (now its permanent)
3. flash latest magisk alpha zip (usb otg or put in storage pre fastboot)
4. reboot.. launch magisk app -> update -> direct install -> reboot
5. profit
Hello. Could you help me with rooting my phone, please?
I'm on Xiaomi.eu 21.12.8 (the last android 12 weekly update). I tried flashing Magisk.zip with the TWRP but it didn't work at all.
It's like I never flashed it. So I decided to try your method to see if it would go any different, and it didn't.
I could root Evolution X (android 12), ArrowOS 11 and 12 with this method of flashing Magisk.zip on TWRP but I can't understand why it didn't worked on Xiaomi.eu 21.12.8. I could even root Xiaomi.eu 21.9.17, which was the last android 11 weekly update.
Desperate, I went to the "advanced" section of TWRP and there was an option of "Flash magisk alpha" and it ended up rooting the phone but I don't understand why the previous 2 methods didn't work.
Could you help me understand that?
Root only works with magisk canary in Android 12
Latest Magisk Canary release adds support for Android 12, drops MagiskHide
The newest update on Magisk's "bleeding edge" canary release channel brings in support for Android 12 and the new Zygisk feature. Read on!
www.xda-developers.com
Thank you!!
Using canary worked on xiaomi.eu, although, I still cannot understand why using the magiskv23.apk can root aosp android 12 rom but not xiaomi.eu android 12, if you could explain me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Also, canary seems to have the magiskhide function removed, is there a way to hide it for certain apps (banks, mostly) with a module or is it disabled permanently now?

yes the new "hide" is zygisk in the options
How do I flash the canary version of magisk though? I have an A12 rom on my F3. I can't flash it in TWRP as I can't mount any partitions to see the file. And I can't flash it via adb sideload as it crashes my TWRP immediately.
Any advice or suggestions? Thanks.

You can use this TWRP.
Download this: twrp-3.6.0_11-v3.2_A12-alioth-skkk.img
From this link: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=322193
This one is able to see the internal storage of the phone with android 12. But you need to remove your screen lock to do so, you must not have a password set up so TWRP can see your internal storage, then just flash magisk normally and afterwards set up your screen lock again. Everytime you want to see the internal storage, disable screen lock. Also, you could follow the tutorial in the first post, but instead of making a backup of boot with TWRP, just use boot.image from the desired ROM, patch it with magisk and then flash the boot using adb.
Hope it helps.
