Question Need help

[Kerrylee1738$$$]

Might be wrong forum but needed help with rooting my Google pixel 6a with magisk. Alright I patched the image using magisk and put it on my laptop and pulled up cmd prompt did the adb reboot bootloader then did fastboot flash patched_magisk.img and it keeps giving unknown file location and unknown file. I'm I doing something wrong?

Try...

fastboot flash boot <nameofpatchedbootimage>

Also, you can find a rooting guide here. It will work for the 6a as well. There is also a 6a forum.

It gave a unknown file error. Is there a certain file that everything should be in?

The way I do it is put the patched boot image in my Platform Tools folder (latest version of course), open command prompt from the Platform Tools folder and flash it.

Thanks I found a pixel flasher on here that helped with the rooting process.

Did you copy the file called "patched_magisk.img" into the folder you launched adb.exe from? You either have to have it in the same folder, or call the file using its path (eg. "c:\users\admin\desktop\patched_magisk.img")
