Put the patched init_boot in the same folder of fastboot, name it with a simple name, don't use the quotes and the path.

like I answered him in the other thread, it's most likely because he's using PowerShell...I just watched a video for re-rooting after a monthly update and the creator used powershell and it included "./" in the syntax, so there's probably that... *it actually was the youtube video a couple posts up!*
That's why I suggested that @anthonnyb98 use CMD instead....less headaches like this...

KernelSU is also another way to root our phones now, FYI.. They have a manager now and module support. You can run modules like magisk but is buggy. Just another way. Zygisk for KernelSU allows you to install Zygisk modules like safetynet fix and lsposed. Systemless hosts module it is lacking.

GitHub - tiann/KernelSU: A Kernel based root solution for Android

A Kernel based root solution for Android. Contribute to tiann/KernelSU development by creating an account on GitHub.

Just another way to root or use both Magisk/KernelSU.

I suggest to add the guide to disable verify and verification in the first post, I didn't do this, and now I need another full wipe to install a custom kernel.

You must be a mind reader, I was in the process of adding Disabling Verity and Verification to the OP. :)

It has been added to the OP, ~ ~ ~ Part II - INSTRUCTIONS ~ ~ ~..., 2. Install/Update Factory Image keep data, wipe data...

However, flashing the stock factory image does not require Disabling Verity and Verification. Therefore, I also edited the Disclaimer. :)

Maybe, in the section quoted below, you can add something like; anytime you run flash-all, you will have to edit in --disable-verity --disable-verification or else you will lose it and will need to wipe again to utilize a custom kernel...
Because it might be a bit confusing with the whole "First Time" and "When doing Subsequent updates the..." but you don't mention needing to continue to do the disabling of verity & verification each time as well...

It's broken. It's a typo.
/data/adb/module/hosts/system/etc/hosts should be the location of hosts modules. Look in the picture, it has ......"/moduleshosts/" instead of ....."module/hosts/

What exactly is wrong with Marriott app?
It's working fine for me on rooted Pixel 7 Pro once I added it to Magisk's DenyList (and wiped Marriott app's data).

Are you saying you didn't use Shamiko module white list? Please see my more relevant discussion at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/hotel-app-marriott-detects-magisk-and-root.4566357/. My understanding is once you use the white list feature, you don't have to add Marriott to the Denylist. This is not to mention I did add it anyways: com.marriot.mrt. I tried again just now and it still wouldn't work. It would force close and say it detected magisk, even the latest 26001. Version 10.12.0 if not 10.13.0 should be safe from such detection.

Shamiko white list is great, because all my banking apps are working great without being added on the deny list, not to mention my Google Wallet app.

    i had to do --disable-verity --disable-verification along with wipe data -w at least once with stock rom flashing to get disabled verification, for e.g. custom kernels. ok.
    and if i wish to stay disabled verification i had to continue to do so.

    thanks in advance

    Yes, you have to --disable-verity --disable-verification every time you update the factory image. If you want to use a Custom kernel. If you skip doing it once the next time you do it you will have to wipe your phone.

    @Lughnasadh, suggested a fix.
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-pro-cheetah-safetynet.4502805/post-88571601

    @badabing2003, confirmed the suggested fix works.
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-pro-cheetah-safetynet.4502805/post-88571617

    Note: If you use Windows SDK Platform- tools r. 34.0.3. You must set the environment variable.

    I think the same is true if you use Linux SDK Platform-tools r. 34.0.3. You must set the enviroment variable.

    OK The sdk files that I downloaded are from AUG 2022 version 33.0.3
    adb and fastboot are in Windows C: \Platform-Tools
    Here are the directory contents
    Ok for some reason I can't post the contents of the dir. so adb fastboot files and magisk_patched-25200_OKTza.img are in the Platform-Tools directory. Is that what your asking?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I know what your problem is, I'm trying to be helpful here, but I find it that you are either unwilling or unable to provide the information you're being asked.
    If it is the former, then I don't want to waste my time, if it is the latter, perhaps modding is not for you.
    I'm not asking those for my benefit, I'm asking them so that I provide you precise commands and instructions to get this to work.
    Just because you downloaded a specific version of the SDK does not make it that it is being used.
    How many times I have to ask you the provide the output of the where commands
    You say everything is in C:\Platform-Tools directory, yet your screenshot shows that you are not operating in C:\Platform-Tools directory.

    If your need my further assistance, please find a way to supply the information asked of you in this post.
    Apologies if this sounds a bit harsh, put yourself in my shoes.
