[Guide] Root Pixel 3 XL Android 13

[CyaBB]

Cause of the problems with my banking apps i want to return to "normal" phone. I installed some plugins, installed magisk manager, magisk, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Are there any uninstall guides to return to Normal? I know how to unroot and lock bootloader. Also pixel 3 is still stock. Is it possible without reset all?

Just flash the latest stock firmware. If you want to keep your data then remove the -w from the flash-all.bat file.
Right click the fole and click edit. Scroll to the bottom where you are the -w and delete it. Then save it.

Did you try this module to fix the banking app problem?
MAGISK MODULE Universal SafetyNet Fix 1.1.0

Yes i did, actually it fixed the SafetyNet Problem, but i still can't use my Tan2Go-App.

Edit: Ah **** this ****, bootloader locking removed all data.

<edit> Guess my response was a little late.

Just know that locking the bootloader will remove all your data.

I think so try posting your question in Google search or whatever search engine you use.

Also pixel 3 is still stock. Is it possible without reset all?
The results of the first question search should provide the answer to this question.

I alway do a reset prior to locking the bootloader and disabling the OEM unlocking.
- Factory reset
- flash the latest factory image without removing the -w.

Why?
I do not want some residual root file bricking my phone.

Hello there!
If it is possible, I would happy yo be helped with this ''existencial'' question about how to update without losing any information:

- I have the December 2020's factory image on my Pixel 3 XL.
- Rooted with Magisk's Beta Version and Kirisakura_R 3.0.2 as a kernel.

So, what I have to do in order to update to the January 2021's OTA?
What have to be deleted/uninstall/restored BEFORE doing a OTA's update?

Sorry if I'm being a bother, I just want to be sure, and until this very moment, this guide and the other ones have been so relievable, and I am glad of it.

If you hid Magisk, unhide it
- Uninstall magisk --> restore images
Note: If you do not uninstall Magisk and you have modules installed that do not work with the January OTA firmware you will boot loop.
- Take the OTA
- Download the January Factory image and do #7 to reroot.
- flash the kernel with Ex Kernel Manager.

Okay, so, if I use the ''factory Image''... won't it be deleted all my data?

If you use the factory image then you must remove the -w from the flash-all.bat file to keep your data.

There you go.

Thanks buddies, you all have my respect.

* * Download the January Factory image and do #7 to reroot. * *

The factory image is needed to do the first step in #7 Patch the boot.img.

Am I correct in saying that the only way to use systemless hosts for AdAway is by running a custom kernel?
Android 11 - Feb update
magisk stable

Well, for some of us, yes. Not everyone has issues with SH on stock kernel but several of us did. Using the Kirisakura kernel definitely helped me. I would try it on stock kernel and see. Freak07 reversed some commits that Google had in the stock kernel and that seems to help. Not sure if Flar2 (elementalx) did this or not.

The issue is just that the phone locks up and requires a reboot?

For me, yes, but it usually took 4-5 reboots to act normally. For the first couple of reboots, the screen would immediately lock up. Got so annoying I removed SH in December. I have not tried it on the Jan or Feb updates.

Updated fine, rooted, but for some reason safetynet is failing.

 

[deusfaux]

It would be super helpful if OTA update instructions were included in the OP. Like what to do/undo to be able to take one.

If I'm using a custom kernel, what do I have to do to be able to accept an OTA update? Uninstalling Magisk properly is enough?

- Open Magisk Manager Uninstall Magisk (Restore images)
- Download current factory image.
- Do #6 - Extract dtbo.img
- flash dtbo.img
fastboot flash dtbo --slot all dtbo.img
- Reboot
- Take OTA

Been battling the same issue on my 3XL since mid January, when I finally took the Android 11 update. Having systemless hosts or the Universal Safetynet Fix enabled in Magisk would cause lockup and require hard reboot (holding power button for 10+ seconds to force reboot). Today, I've finally solved it.
My steps:
Install February update (keeping data, never wiped coming from Android 10)
Patch boot.image using magisk manager and install patched img (turned off SH and USF modules to avoid lockup)
Install ElementalX (EX) Kernel Manager from play store ($4.99)
Use EX Kernel Manager to install the ElementalX kernel (reboot)
Turn on the SH and USF modules in Magisk (reboot)
Check safetynet (Passed) and wait for lockup... didn't occur
Enable Adaway
Delete data in Google Play services, Google Pay, and Google Play apps (reboot)
Play store Play Protect Certification for "Device is certified" (it was/is)
Add card to google pay
Check google pay functionality (it works!!)
