It's already out. The January update was posted yesterday.

I use Aignes Website Watcher on the computer asking with the Website Watcher app that syncs with it through DropBox, to let me know when certain webpages have new material.

Only using the free versions of stuff for now but that program has been around roughly 20 years or maybe longer. Not cheap for the paid version, but might have to spring for it someday. It might get lifetime updates, at least, and the updates aren't arbitrary.

So I have not rooted since my old Nexus 6P but with losing the fabricated overlays with January update I finally pulled the trigger. Unreal how the process has changed since then. Never have I used magisk or done any of this before. Back in the day it was , unlock, flash twrp, flash SuperSU and bobs your uncle. I think I'm good to go now. And next I gotta see what kind of tinkering I can do. I may have to revive some of my old subs themes or something else.

Will this work for those with a Verizon unlocked device?

You can only root a phone if you can unlock the bootloader. Verizon phones have always come Carrier unlocked from the start, but you can't unlock the bootloader. It's either always been like this or been like this for so long (since before my first Android phone in 12 years ago).

There have been a few lucky ways around it on some Verizon devices but it's nearly impossible anymore unless you just get lucky.

The simple answer is no, you can't do this with a Verizon device. Now if you buy a factory unlocked (meaning unlockable bootloader) and happen to use it with Verizon, then yes, you can still root it since you'll be able to unlock the bootloader.

Folks with the T-Mobile variant of the P6P are also lucky. They just have to talk to the right person in customer service to get their phones permanently carrier unlocked, and by chance that also enables their ability to unlock the bootloader as well.

If I called and requested for Verizon to carry your unlock my phone since I'm in Canada a country that doesn't Have Verizon as a carrier. Could that provide me some leverage with them or the representative being able to do it?

No. Verizon phones are already carrier unlocked like I said. You don't have to use the Verizon phone with Verizon. You can use it with a carrier in Canada. You just can't unlock the bootloader. Verizon never allows bootloaders to be unlocked.

Yep, the days of unlock bootloader, flash, flash, flash in three minutes are over (hopefully not forever, but seemingly).

I'm lazy, only flashing every other update, so I'm prolly waiting for the P6P February update

estoy en rom el 36 de noviembre

yo era root, asi que vea la imagen de arranque de noviembre para perder la raiz
Actualicé a enero por ota adb, falló 7 en 47%
Al reiniciar, perdí las opciones de desarrollador y tocando 7 veces en la compilación no abre las opciones de desarrollador.
como puedo recuperarlos

Edito, por ota en android tampoco se actualiza

No sé cómo, pero he logrado actualizar siguiendo esto
actualice el zip completo y actualice el gestor de arranque antes de actualizar todo

Just updated from Dec to Jan patch, keeping all data and kept my Magisk hidden and the modules enabled throughout. Thanks for the guide!

 

[Az Biker]

Meh.... went ahead and updated to January 007, Kirisakura 1.50, and SafetyNet 2.12

Smooth, silky, easy like Sunday mornin' update!

Not gloating (seriously, I'm not) but since I didn't really have any issues with my device prior to the Jan update, I'm not sure if I'll notice any improvements..

Servant: Sir, the peasants are revolting!
King: I know, smelly, disgusting peasants.
Servant: No, they're revolting

I think I read there's an alpha Magisk version that allows for OTA up and running.

Anyone confirm that, or has anyone used it?

I need to add OTA instructions to the OP but I have never used OTA myself.

The latest Canary does as well. It was tested by someone on the Pixel 5a and 6 with success, but we'll probably have to wait until February for a 100% verification.

Can't really say anything about Alpha but it is usually a step or two ahead of Canary.

I plan to try February update ota with the 23018 version. Since I already have the January update, I cannot do it.

Question for anyone on Kiri's kernel: can I update magisk directly or do I need to patch the original boot image, flash the new patched img, then reflash the kernel? Many thanks.

 

[Gordietm]

Update directly
