Look at the main thread's OP or the Github, and follow basic usage.
Make sure you pay attention to any warnings you get, specially regarding Magisk / Android platform Tools versions.

Keep in mind first time you do this it will wipe your phone,
Just ticking the checkboxes is not enough, you do it during flashing.
Also each time you update you have to make sure they remain ticked, otherwise it wipes.

The good thing, PF remembers your choices.

Good evening super users,

I just got finished going through the guide [basic mode] for this, everything went great, though after the phone booted back up and PF detected the device it's not saying it's rooted. I redid it making sure that the patched boot image was selected just to be sure, though it still shows at not rooted. What did I do wrong, or what am I missing?

If you actually have root, (can check with root App) the it is most likely due to not granting root access to adb shell
Point #2 in Basic Usage
If you actually have no root, it's possibly due to Magisk version used, though can't tell for sure without seeing the support.zip

Root Checker Basic suggests I don't have root so I'm glad I have a second opinion on that. I installed Magisk fresh via PF so unless the stable version from that didn't work then I'm unsure.

re: adb shell, how do I activate that? I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious but I can't seem to find it.

    New Release:
    Apr 30, 2023 v4.10.0 release
    • Added no reboot option, with this option selected, after flashing is completed, the phone will not reboot to system, giving a chance to take other actions before reboot.
    • Added built-in file editor, you can now edit the flash script before running, in case you want to customize it (needless to say, should only be used if you know what you're doing)
    • Added a button to open an explorer in working directory, useful for people who want full control, perform manual actions by following guides, but using PixelFlasher to do the prep work.
    • Made the Firmware and Rom Process buttons, full with text. It wasn't obvious for some.
    • Detect and handle Magisk Zygote64_32 automatically, thanks to @Namelesswonder for adding the necessary marker.

    New Release:
    May 19, 2023 v5.0.0.1 release
    • #75 Bug fix, when device is in bootloader, type error.
    • #74 Added Support for Pixel 7a (lynx)
    • Configuration option to define the file manager to use on Linux (default: Nautilus)
    • Configuration option to define the terminal emulator to use on Linux (default: gnome-terminal).
    • Support for additional types of Factory / ROM files.
    • Checksum validation of firmware / ROM files (if part of the checksum is in the name, otherwise just display)
    • New advanced option, ability to choose the patching method (with recommendations).
    • Added Recovery Image patching option.
    • Advanced option to enable the use of busybox shell (default off).
    • Auto detect firmware / rom with init_boot and use init_boot for creating patches, this way future firmware don't have to be manually added to PixelFlasher.
    • Auto detect devices with init_boot and use init_boot for flashing, this way future devices don't have to be manually added to PixelFlasher.
    • Auto-popup the detected devices dropdown after a scan, to make it obvious to select that next. (Thanks @pndwal for the idea)
    • Show SHA-256 of adb and fastboot binaries, as Google keeps on messing up Android Platform-tools, it's necessary to whitelist / blacklist specific binaries.
    • #66, when checking the patched files internal SHA1, provide a confidence rating.
    • Check, valdiate and warn if necessary when flashing an image patched with Magisk Zygote64_32, as there are wipe implications, provide links to documentation.
    • Added fastbootd testing to Dry Run.
    • Added Github actions to build all the targets on Github.
    • Code refactoring, bug fixes and improvements

    • When a Pixel device is selected, PixelFlasher now displays additional information about the device's support.
      Things like: Device name, version end date, security update end date, Android version, name, codename, release date, end date.
    • Boot image list box now displays the applied PixelFlasher patch method.
    • Auto-resize boot image list box columns for better readability.
    • Precautionary cleanup up of leftover files on the phone in case root detection software keys on presence of such files.
    • #77 added attrict3 to requirements.txt in case it helps with certain builds (it shouldn't be needed).
    • Bug fixes and improvements.
    Update:
    Patch Release:
    v5.1.0.1 release
    • Exception handling when device is not in the listed Pixel devices.

    This is the support thread of PixelFlasher
    (PixelFlasher is an open-source self contained GUI tool to facilitate Pixel phone device flashing/rooting/updating with extra features).

    Note: This thread is meant for issues and problems faced in Google Pixel 7 devices, generic issues that are device agnostic should be discussed in the main thread.

    For full details on where to download / usage and feature set of the tool, visit the main thread at XDA or the project's Github page.

    Troubleshooting:
    If you need support or assistance, the best way to get is by generating a support file from within PixelFlasher.
    You can hit that big Support button on the main screen, or select it from the Help menu.
    The generated support.zip file is sanitized (redacted) to keep your sensitive information (username device id ...) private.

    New Release:
    Feb 05, 2023 v4.7.0 release
    • Added Magisk Backup Manager:
      • List all Magisk backups currently on the device.
      • Highlight the one that is backup of the current installed version.
      • Delete backups.
      • Manually add backup from PC.
      • Auto Backup: PixelFlasher figures out what needs to be backed up, and if it finds it on the PC, it creates the backup.
    • Added Reset on Magisk Manager package name setting to reset to default: com.topjohnwu.magisk
    • Linux / Mac build.sh now switches to the PixelFlasher folder if it is run from elsewhere.
    • Magisk installer improvements:
      • When installing Magisk Alpha or Delta, PixelFlasher updates the configuration to match the package name to the respective Magisk package.
      • Magisk installer window displays the package name.
      • You can now copy to clipboard, the download URL and package ID.
    • Magisk Manager columns are now wider for better readability.
    • Package Manager improvements:
      • Added Search / Filter option.
      • Show count of filtered packages.
      • Application Name (label column).
      • "Get Application Names" Button to resolve all package application names. This is a slow process, hence PixelFlasher caches them.
      • Button to download (pull) APKs from the device. (Multiple downloads in one shot is also supported).
      • Other under the hood improvements.
    • When selecting a firmware or ROM file, sha256 is printed to console and displayed on hover, to validate if it matches the published sha256.
    • More verbose logging that helps with troubleshooting.
    • Double click on "ADB Connected Devices" to invoke adb kill-server which is handy at times, specially when dealing with Wifi ADB.
    • Moved existing links under Help Menu | Links, and added few more handy links.
    • Added timestamp to support.zip filename.
    • On request, spinning cursor with text "Please be patient ..." is now displayed in red.
    • Flashing to inactive slot is now in basic configuration instead of advanced configuration.
    • Preparation work for version 5.0 DB improvements.
