OK NM I got it, I went under MagiskHide and ticked a couple more options under GooglePay/GPay and my Credit card now works.
I'm sorry if this question is the dumbest one ever asked, but here I go:
Last week I got my 4A 5G, and before I want to do anything with it, I want root. A smartphone without root is useless to me. I'd like to play with my new 'toy'.
I've rooted all of my previous phones (all Samsung), but I got those months after release, so rooting was very well documented.
My question is this:
Since this phone is pretty much just out; is the rooting process riskier than normal, or is the risk the same?

It's easy peasy. Not too difficult, patching the boot.ini can be a pain if you don't have just the right Makisk version and update channel. So, when a new update comes about, wait for someone to take the plunge before you update.
Thanks. I've tried to flash the patched boot.img (patched it myself with magisk), but fastboot tells me : FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partion Not Found)
Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: I'm running the december update.
Edit2: I fixed it by updating abd.exe en fastboot.exe to the latest ones, replacing the ones from the 15 second abd installer.
Now I can play with the stock ROM until LineageOS/RR or Calyx comes out

I found myself asking the same question. On non-pixel devices, I'd say the Google dialer (with spam control, assistant features, etc) and ad blocking. Now that I actually HAVE a pixel, and I have AdGuard handling the ad blocking, I didn't even bother rooting.
Congrats on your new phone! Mine should arrive today
You pose a good question since some previously root-dependent modifications and added functionality recently have become possible on unrooted devices. Maybe someday we’ll be able to mod our phones in any way we like without root. Until then, I’ll continue to root my phones because: custom roms and kernels, speed and battery optimization tweaks, deep UI customizations, de-bloating, and apps which require root in order to provide extra features and functions including Tasker and the AutoApps plugins (some things still require root in spite of João Dias’s extraordinary work), GMD Gesture Control, Swift Backup, Magisk modules, and system file managers.

I manage to update and root, but I noticed that I have no 'recovery boot' after rooting. Not even the stock recovery. It just shows the 'dead' Android robot with "no command" when entering the 'recovery'. Bootloader works fine luckily.
Is this normal?

To get into recovery mode, from that screen hold the power button and then press volume up. Then use the volume keys to select recovery and press the power button to select it.I manage to update and root, but I noticed that I have no 'recovery boot' after rooting.

I know how to get there, but instead of recovery I get the 'no command' screen.
At the no command screen you did the power button hold and volume up and when you click recovery it goes back to the no command screen? Just trying to be clear.

How to unlock the bootloader and root the Google Pixel 4a
Looking to root your brand new Google Pixel...
I not a huge fan of modifying the props.conf but it is what it is3Hi everyone,
I just got my bramble today. And yes, the first thing I did, was unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
Here I tell you how I did it.
You need a ADB/Fastboot suite installed and this rooted kernel.
Section 1: Unlocking your Bootloader Unlocking your Bootloader will erase all your data - so best case is a brandnew and clean bramble...:
1. Go to settings - "About phone" and tip 6 times on "Build number" until you see "congratulations, you are a developer"
2. Go to settings - "System", tip on "Advanced" and then on "Developer options". Now you can see "OEM unlocking". Enable it (yes it warns you about security and stuff... It´s your choice - I did it).
3. Install Adb and Fastboot suite and scroll to the adb-folder inside your windows explorer and when you are there, copy the rooted boot.img to your adb-folder (you need that for section 2).
4. Right click + shift on the white background of your adb-folder "open power shell window here"
5. Reboot your bramble holding vol- and you will enter the fastboot screen. Connect your bramble to your pc and type in your power shell window the following code:
and hit enterCode:./fastboot flashing unlock
6. Your bramble will warn you that unlocking your bootloader is insecure! And one really important thing again: This will format all your data
7. Use the vol-/vol+ keys to accept and violla, you unlocked your Bootloader!
Section 2: flashing the patched boot.img
1. Luckily you already copied the rooted boot.img to your adb folder and you are still in your power shell window. That gives you everything for 2.
2. type the following in your power shell window:
3. hit enter andCode:./fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. reboot to system (yes it has to be setup again since your data got wipede) and install Magisk manager after setting up your system
Congrats, your system is now rooted with Magisk!3
it was 96 MB on my pc

Download OTA full image for your variant latest December from https://developers.google.com/android/ota#bramble place in my ADB folder on PC
Download Factory Image for your variant latest December from https://developers.google.com/android/images#bramble unzip on PC then search for the boot.img in folder and transfer to phone. Use Magisk to patch the boot.img and once completed place back on PC in ADB folder.
Get your phone now in stock recovery mode [ Android guy on back with red exclamation ] Next, hold down the power button and press the volume up button, and you will be in recovery mode. Use the volume down button to highlight apply update from ADB and press the power button to select it.
Now I ran the terminal command [I'm on Mac] ./adb sideload bramble-ota-rq1a.201205.011-4817ffa4.zip depending which file you loaded would be similar to mine.
Once it finishes reboot phone and you will be on new update.
Now to root again - back into bootloader mode
./fastboot flash boot boot.img. [ or name of the patched from Magisk ]2
Yes no worries. I'm working now but can post up later. I did mine the longer way bc I'm always unable to just do the flash- all way ...
