[Guide]Magisk Modules Disabler for booting into Magisk core-only Mode - Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Tools needed: boot.img extractor. I recommend the one created by osm0sis from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2073775
The first method was developed by osm0sis and removes magisk and all modules.
1. Unpack magisk_patched.img
2. Unzip overlay.dremove1.zip and place overlay.d folder in ramdisk folder.
3. Repack IMG
4. fastboot boot image-new.img created by repacking 8mg
This method is an offshoot of osm0sis version but boots core-only mode. Afterwards, remove the .disable-magisk file from the /cache folder for modules to work. Dot files are hidden files so if your root explorer can't see hidden files, run the "Remove disable_magisk" bat file in ADB.
1. Same as above but use the overlay.dcoreonly1.zip
For both methods you must be rooted for it to work. These are not cure all's for all bootloops.
Remove .disable_magisk bat file

****************************************
Here is a fastboot bootable image to boot you into Magisk core-only mode in case you bootloop due to flashing a bad module and TWRP is not enough.
Once in fastboot:
fastboot boot image-newpixel3.img
You will boot with root but modules disabled. After you remove the offending module you will need to go to /cache folder and delete the .disable_magisk file before your modules will work.
fastboot boot image-newpixel3Remove.img
This one should remove magisk and all modules, then reboot and magisk should reinstall itself (ask to install necessary binaries). This is what osm0sis uses to recover from failed flashes. See this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...odules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3976625/page2
Images are in this common folder. Pick the appropriate image for your phone.

Amazing! Thanks

I can confirm this worked on Android 10/Q. I can't use the canary patch method for magisk because I forgot to remove the modules before upgrading to Android 10. This method works like a charm, it removed the incompatible modules allowed me to by pass the bootloop.
Thank you so much for sharing!
For those who are wondering, these are the steps:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot image-new.img
fastboot reboot
Done!

No, but you have TWRP. You don't need it.

Mega link seems to be working. Open with chrome, not mega app.
Edit: I've added a AFH download link.

i tried with chromium based browser (vivaldi) from both phone and pc and link didn't work, probably it was a WiFi problem, thanks for adding alternative link though. and your core mode image worked like a charme! and thanks again also to sliding billy for initial mirror support

Just what I needed. Thank you
How did you create it? I want to make sure I have one of these images on hand in the future when I need to fix things

Simply works, thank you!

Holy cow, thanks man. I can't believe @topjohnwu let this slide through. Without TWRP wtf are you supposed to do, reflash the whole OTA/factory image?!
EDIT: Wait, now I can boot and apparently have root but I can't access any of my rooted apps. It says "waiting for root". Magisk Manager gives me an "app not installed" error but it is installed on the device. When I click it it says "upgrade to full Magisk Manager" and does nothing. How am I supposed to delete the module folder?
EDIT: Can't access terminal, can't do anything. Permission denied via ADB as well.
EDIT: DO NOT DELETE MAGISK MANAGER OR ALTER IT IN ANY WAY WHEN USING CORE MODE. You will be stuck like me. I had to nuke my phone and reflash everything. PIA

[ROOT] SuperSU

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.

- If you want to use a custom kernel, simply 'fastboot boot' the root image again after flashing the custom kernel. This has been tested with a few custom kernels and found to work well so far.

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.

okay thanks, so i guess the answer is actually yes

if new kernel must boot boot to root again..
Seems I cannot remount /system_root as rw (to copy Emoji font over).

mount: '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_a'->'/system_root': Device or resource busy
Edit: Nevermind, used Solid Explorer and granted it SuperUser and seemed to work. Strange.
Does anyone have the stock boot.img for the pixel xl? I don't have the data to download the full factory image.
Life is good!
Thanks to all involved, especially Chainfire.
You Rock!
Worked like a charm. Thanks @Chainfire!
Can't thank you enough. Works perfectly.
can someonone please post the exact steps they are using?
I just unlocked my bootloader. then tried flashing the root-boot img file, it did the reboots, but when i complete android setup, theres no SuperSU and if i install the .apk, it still does not detect root...
just reflashed stock boot.img, locked and unlocked bootloader. waiting for instrustion.
thanks!

[MOD][RECOVERY] Working TWRP recovery for Pixel and maybe Pixel XL on Android O DP4

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:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/mod-twrp-recovery-pixel-android-o-dp4-t3651896
Good luck!
I test it on my pixel xl, working well.
Thank you very much.
But it seems to not be able to flash supersu
When I try to flash it via fastboot it says file is not signed. What am I doing wrong here? I wanted to be rooted and I am on Android op4 preview. Please guide me how to root. Thank you everyone.

To root, you don't even need recovery. Use @Chainfire's boot-to-root.img (fastboot boot it), and it will do the job for you. Easiest way to root...

And I also try "fastboot boot boot-to-root.img" just now,there was still nothing happened...

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

Great! Nice to see that everything is working I had this itching, you know, when something is not as it should be, because I wanted to have Android O, but there was no recovery to do what I want... Now this feeling is gone, and I'm relaxed again
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.
Thank you for making this sir.

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.

NVIDIA Shield TV 2017 Root with developers image and Magisk, OREO (Shield 7.0.2)

While I tried to root using TWRP and all the suggested ways i continued to get errors, bootloops, corrupted boot, etc. I downloaded the rooted developers OS Image, then used magisk to patch the boot image. If anyone has any interest in the Boot.img or the developers OS image, let me know i can post links and instructions if needed. This will require the bootloader unlocked (i have read you can unlock with a keyboard, but i never had any luck and used a controller). Please reply with requests if needed.
Just one question: When you install the NEXT developer image, how will you go about retaining Magisk and your boot.img patch? Don't need a step-by-step-- just in simple terms. Curious.

Magisk places the patched boot into my download folder where i pulled back onto my computer the fastboot flash boot boot.img (or patched_boot.img whatever the file is called that got patched).
I have the patched 7.1 boot.img right now. I have the full developers files, with drivers and patch all in it for 7.1 with magisk manager if you want i can put it on my Google drive for the whole thing. It is 1.09 Gb for the full files.

I don't know what the differences are between the dev image and the regular version. I believe the dev version is just pre-rooted. I think it will work, but i have only tested on the dev image. Flash at your own risk.
Hi there,
I need help. Im looking for a ROM thats flashable with TWRP so i can install it. Previously I had Lineageos installed but it wasnt running smooth enough.
I cant install the rooted recovery file from Nvidia with TWRP.
The reason why im wanting to use TWRP is because i want to use Magisk with the Shield.
Ive allready patched a stock boot image with magisk version 17.1
my current Twrp version is 3.2.1-1
Thank you very much
cheers

Yes, as far as i know you have to have an unlocked bootloader. You plug in your Sheild VIA a-a USB, you might have to install the sheild drivers. Press AB on your controller and power on. That will get you into fastboot. You have to run the unlock bootloader command WARNING this will wipe your DATA. All the drivers you need will be on this page available to download https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source and for instructions on how-to goto here http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...;f=README_NEW_SHIELD;hb=rel-24-uda-r1-partner (the instructions tell how to do flash each file, i found it faster to do the flash-all.bat, but be patient, i think it takes about 30 minutes)

Wonderful! Thanks for the explanation!

Root available ?

Is there any way to root this phone? I would like to root just to edit the build.prop for the camera api in order to install the Gcam port ....
If you have an unlocked bootloader, the patched boot generated by Magisk Manager did work for me.

Do you mind to elaborate about the steps taken to get and patch boot image?
What I did is I grabbed the "boot_X-FLASH-ALL-8F02.sin" file, used UnSIN tool to convert it to "boot.img" and then Android Image Kitchen AIK to unpack and repack the image (this step is necessary on older Xperia phone, is that the case here?), then finally patch the repacked boot image using Magisk.
But when flashing the new patched boot image, I get a non functional touch screen and wifi. I was able to control the phone using ScrCpy tool to mirror the phones screen on my computer and control the phone from the window that appears on the computer. But since WIFI won't even turn on, I couldn't even verify that Magisk was working or not.
What is worse, is that if I tried to flash the original untouched Boot image SIN or the converted IMG, the phone still has non-working touch-screen and WIFI.
FlashTool by Androxyde and EMMA tools do NOT support this phone yet. I ended up using Newflasher tool to go back to stock (still unlocked bootloader) and everything works fine, but no root.
I have the US model I3223 btw.
Thank you kindly, awaiting your response.

Magisk Manager (the app) was able to patch boot_X-FLASH-ALL-8F02.sin directly and return an img file. I used fastboot to flash the patched boot.

older version can not patch boot.img, because when you click "install the zip",it will let you update the new verison.
Any news on the boot loop situation? I also encounterd this problem and back to running original boot.img. having an unlocked bootloader is useless without root ?

My I4293 stuck in bootloop~~help ~!
After installing Magisk19.3 with TWRP, my phone stuck in bootloop and can not enter the recovery mode.
I tried to flash I4293_53.0.A.6.96_1318-2077_R1A.ftf (Factory ftf. downloaded from experifirm) with flashtool to solve this problem.
when I tried to create bundle, I found that I4293 did not show in the ID list.
I can't do anything about it.
Anybody can help me plz~~ I'm fresh in XDA and just try to root my phone first time :crying:
This phone cannot be rooted at this time due to the lack of the img.patch and no driever.

Are you still stuck? For all of the latest Sony phones try NewFlasher instead.

Flashtool doesn't support our phones. Magisk 19.1+ currently doesn't work with our phones. Hopefully 19.4 will fix that.

Rooting OnePlus 7T Pro

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to root my OnePlus 7t Pro with android 11 installed, but I can't figure out a way how to do so...
I read some other posts/threads and tried to root it installing Magisk canary but it still didn't work (it got stuck in the booting process, and I had to flash the stock boot image to get it working again). Does anybody have an other idea of something I could try? Magisk doesn't same to get it patched regardless of which version I use...
Thank you in advance for your help!

You said it got stuck in booting process, was this after a fastboot flash patchedboot.img?

Yes, exactly... Sorry for not specifing. I patched the image, flashed it and than my phone stopped booting correctly and I had to flash the stock image to make it work again. I searched a little bit and found out that it was Magisk's fault and read that I had to try with the canary version, so I did but it still did not work and I was stuck on the same point as before.

Have you tried just fastboot boot patched.img and doing a direct install through Magisk?
I know some people reported their phones borking after trying to fastboot flash.

Sorry, I'm not really sure if I understood what you meant....
I thought that maybe I could try to downgrade to android 11 to then root and upgrade while remaining root. What do you think about this idea? And do you know how I could downgrade my phone? I did some research but did not find anything useful...

So you would take your stock Android 11 boot.img and patch it like you would in Magisk Manager. Save the patched.img to your computer. Reboot to bootloader and apply command fastboot boot patched.img. this should restart your phone using the patched.img. once it starts, go into Magisk Manager and click Install > Direct Install > Reboot when asked.
You could certainly go back to A10 from A11 but you will lose all your data. The method above does work. Where did you get the stock boot.img?

I downloaded the software from the official website and used payload dumper to extract the boot image. To be sure that I understood everything... you suggested to use "fastboot boot patched.img" instead of "fastboot flash boot patched.img", and once the phone restarted to go to magisk manager and click direct install.
Do I need Magisk Manager canary or the normal version for this to work and do I have to mantain the canary version or can I install the normal version once it is rooted?
Either 22.1 or Canary works for A11

One last question, is it normal that the "unlocked bootlader message" when booting shows up for almost two minutes? When I had Android 10 it did not take that much...

Yes for some reason, I noticed that as well on my device.
FYI, the patched boot may only work with Magisk canary

So not Magisk v.23 but Magisk canary?
I know that there was rooting issues back at the end of last year, but I'm not sure exactly what version of Magisk it was at the time.
If you want to pass safety net on A11, I've read success posts with canary and Magisk hide

Okay thanks, I'll try with v.23 first and If that does not work than I'll try with the canary one. Thank you very much!!!
Hiya, just use this TRWP. Decryption works on Android 11 (only tested on lineage).
Reboot to fastboot and use
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
And
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
And reboot to recovery.

Decrypt does not work on OOS and you do not need TWRP to Magisk.

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I tried with "fastboot boot patched.img" and it still did not work. It got stuck while booting again with "unable to parse kernel log" as error message. Do you have any other suggestions?
P.S. I got a full backup with "adb backup -apk -all -shared -f /path/to/location" today and thought about just doing a factory reset, trying to root the phone, restore the backup. Do you think that might actually work? Thank you for your help!
How exactly did you patched your boot.img?
