This is a stock boot.img I use where I edited ramdisk and sepolicy for regular root. I also changed force encryption to encryptable and permissive Enforcing
I will continue to post new boot.img each update here.

Because you don't have to rely on the generosity of someone modifying the boot image to accommodate the older method, thereby requiring only 1 recovery flash?

Why are you even in this thread if you have no interest in using traditional root. Stop trolling and leave the thread. If you don't want it, then don't use it. It's been posted for users that want traditional root and don't know how to mod their own boot.img. Also you're incorrect about the amount of flashing in recovery. You still only need to flash one zip. The SuperSU zip. The boot image gets flashed in fastboot. Soooooooo when you're updating to newest software from Google, you simply use this modded boot.img instead of the one from Google. So technically there are absolutely no extra steps taken in order to use this boot.img.

Huh? No, really, I think I'm too old to be "trolling". Just curious to know if there are any potential advantages of the traditional method - not from a selfish perspective, but more out a, well, curiosity. Can we just keep this to the level of a civil "discussion"?
Is this still Enforcing? Is it possible to get a stock or close to stock kernel that is Permissive for a project I'm working on? I just need a boot.img. Thanks!

Would it have been better if the question were phrased: "Why do you need a separate modified boot.img, when you can force system root using any SuperSU above 2.65? It will still patch the boot.img and disable "forceencrypt"?
So, I'll ask....why do you need a modified boot.img and SuperSU, if SuperSU 2.6x will *automatically modify the boot.img for you and can be installed as system or system-less via terminal commands? Is it because you are using the stock rom and SuperSU will not install as system root due to lack of space in /system?
Edit: *automatically modify boot.img when installing as system-less, OR can be forced to install as system root via terminal commands?

you can use this as boot.img to update yes. But keep root no. You just need to flash factory imgs with this boot.img then boot up and boot to twrp flash SuperSU 2.67 and you will be updated with regular root.
Flash this boot.img thru fastboot just like you do factory imgs not via recovery.

I recommend not flashing the userdata.img as that will wipe your internal storage sense it's still 6.0.+ FYI but that's up to you and don't flash the recovery.img either in factory imgs cause that will replace your twrp with stock recovery

Ahh I see. That makes sense given that you are decrypted. Appreciate that.
Having followed SuperSU threads since late November, seems like it was created to make accepting OTAs easier. That, or to work around the limits of Marshmallow and /system rom space. If not that, then no I don't.

So flash, much excite, such new. Wow.
Edit - I know I sound weird but I don't like dirty flashes. I always reboot into bootloader, fastboot erase recovery and then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ( I rename it twrp.img for short) then boot into it. I have done this for years on BL unlocked devices and never had a problem flashing twrp. It's just ME, but I think it is fun typing the stuff, and it assures me that I have a clean state and am not dirty flashing anything! Also, on others phones I use RASHR instead of flashify. Once again, personal preference but have had better luck.
XDA Thread updated
And backs up with finger print
^ That's great news.
I tried flashed this but after trying to reboot into recovery got the broken android icon. Reflashed back to older version and it worked. Not sure if I had a corrupt come. Do you have to reboot the bootloader after flashing from fastboot for it to take? I just rebooted to system after flashing.

Just out of curiosity, did you use flashify? I know two other people that it borked the flash also. I recommend rashr. But I also flash via otg cable and usb drive. I'd say you most likely had a bork download. Delete the img, run trimmer, redownload it. And flash via rashr and reboot and respond if it fixed it. Good luck!

No problem dirty flashing here, but the process is a little different than it was on my previous phone where you would just flash it like a ROM...
You gotta:
"Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash."
OP's method seems like the best bet though...

No need for this thread, as there is a TWRP thread in the development forum.
Thread closed.
hey,
today i got notification about a new OTA update (H85010D)
but my phone is on TWRP Recovery so it's not possible to intall OTA.
is there any way to install this OTA update manually? or can i find it as zippable file?
The KDZ needs to be downloaded, extracted and made flashable in TWRP for that to work... Otherwise, you have to flash it with the LG Flash tool or LGUP.
I recommend waiting for autoprime to create a flashable h850 zip if you're not in a hurry.

Not necessarily. OTA could be flashed with TWRP, if we knew where the OTA zip is.

That too, but then again, it's much cleaner to have a TWRP flashable zip. As to get the OTA flashed, you need to have an unrooted, unmodified system partition. The OTA does a diff on files and if you have any modifications, might just fail or cause other nonsense on your phone.
I personally just LGUP'ed my phone to V10d... Battery life is surprisingly better.

Let me rephrase that to avoid further confusion:
You need an unmodified boot image (Which is modified by a SuperSU flash), an unmodified system partition (Removing system apps and files) and depending on the update, an unmodified recovery partition (Flashing TWRP). In other words, if you modify from stock ANYTHING, OTA has a chance of failing, even if flashed in TWRP... The OTA simply patches existing files and partitions. So it's really a waste of time to bother with the OTA version unless you're full stock. You're better off getting a TWRP flashable zip, it's much less of a headache.

False. Boot.img is overwritten without checking previous version.

This is correct. However... Systemless SU and Xposed do not modify the system partition, thus making a pure OTA possible, through stock recovery.

A TWRP flashable ZIP will result the same as an OTA - patches the system partition (without removing any additional files, e.g. new ringtones, apps, etc.), overwrites boot (and possibly recovery). If you root with the systemless option, you'll have to flash the root zip again, otherwise you should be fine.

How?
This thread was originally for Pixel-specific rooting instructions, but by now the SuperSU ZIP and TWRP are fully supported:
- Fastboot boot TWRP
- Install latest SuperSU ZIP (v2.79-SR3 at the time of writing)
Note that at this time I recommend against fastboot flashing TWRP. With the Pixel's new partition layout, the recovery files are inside the boot partition, and so is SuperSU. If you flash both, SuperSU's internal boot image backup will not be of the original boot image, but of TWRP. This means that neither the 'full unroot' option in SuperSU, nor incremental OTA update through FlashFire, will work as expected.
OR
- Use CF-Auto-Root for Pixel (not released at the time of writing, but should be released soon)
Nice work!
Hell Yeah!!! Thanks @Chainfire, your time as well as others that have made this and the bootloader unlock happen is appreciated very much.

It was a valid question since this flashing method is different than what we are used to due to the difference in partitions and the file system.

what about superSU?
hi Guys!
I just wanted to share my work with you.
I created a working TWRP recovery for the Pixel on Android O developer preview 4, that can boot and decrypt the /data partition. I don't own a Pixel XL, so I can't test, but @Chainfire did a few quick tests and it seems to be working on his Pixel XL too. So I would say you can try and see if it works for you. Please keep in mind, that I didn't test it, and neither Chainfire, or myself or anyone else can be blamed if it doesn't work, or damages your phone (shouldn't actually, but who knows..).
If you are still not scared enough, please follow this link to the Pixel forums and check out my work:

Try to flash the original boot.img first.
1. reboot to bootloader
2. fastboot flash boot.img from the factory image zip
3. fastboot boot recovery.img
4. in the recovery, flash supersu
Or you can skip points 3 and 4, and fastboot boot boot-to-root.img

The only thing missing is a flashable zip. Is my current "itch"
Very nice. I booted into TWRP with no issue. I had already used boot-to-root so I did not have to flash SR2 in TWRP but nice knowing we have it working for the XL.

Same here!
People have successfully rooted O Final? I used the img but I can't flash zips or access any folders they all have weird names is that due to Encryption?

Had this already sometimes on 7.1.2 with twrp rc 1 and 2. Must be an encryption error. Only way for me to use the phone again was to start all over with flashing factory image with flash-all.bat.

Reboot until you get prompted for your PIN in recovery, then flash SuperSU v2.82 SR3 from here.
I have global Honor 9, updated to 8.0.0.379(C432), unlocked and rooted.
I read that Huawei rolled out an update which broke Magisk, does anyone know if the latest update is safe?
How can I tell if an update is safe to use?
I'm using it with the new 9.0.1 rom and it works just fine, the only problem is that it cannot exist on the phone at the same time with a TWRP recovery

as opposed to version 8.0.0.379?
I currently have magisk and TWRP with no problem, is this problem you describe is new to the latest version?
Do you have a different custom ROM?
I have the latest official ROM, and yes it is a new problem with EMUI9, the boot.img partition doesn't exist any more and magisk has to be installed on the recovery_ramdisk.img

So on EMUI9 there's no option of Root+Custom recovery?
So the options are either root or custom recovery?
Did I understand correctly?
Thank you
Yes, correct until new findings lead to better solution, and keep in mind that you have to boot to recovery each time to keep root working...

That sucks big time.
What do you mean by "have to boot to recovery each time"? every time I restart the phone or turn it off and back on I must go through recovery?
I think I'll avoid EMUI9 and stick with EMUI8.
For some reason there are not much custom ROMs or honor 9
That is the last time I buy a non root friendly phone like Huawei/Xiaomi
Once you have magisk set up you can just get it to flash the boot image from within the manager you can boot as normal then

I don't really know what that means.

From within magisk manager click on install magisk and the select the direct install method. It patches the right bit then and you can boot without going through recovery

When I do that it gives me 2 options, one is download a zip file (and then I need to install using TWRP, right?)
The other option is patch a boot image, and it lets me look for one. Is this option to patch a downloaded boot image and then I need to flash it? what do I do with this option?
