[Q] How do I dual boot just so 2nd slot can be unrooted?

[sfetaz]

Running Verizon Pixel XL with Resurrection Remix at the moment but I don't care which rom I run.

I have some apps I want to run that I need to be unrooted to use, hiding root from them doesn't work even passing safety net. I want to be able to switch to slot b to be able to boot into the rom with a stock kernel that can pass safety net. If I am reading correctly, the 2nd slot needs its own separate rom flashed to work, even if its the same rom as slot a, but I like many others am confused if that is correct.

Do I need to flash an entire rom to slot B to have an unrooted 2nd option?

I think that for all the post I have read, this SLOT stuff do not work as a dual boot partition, when you installed custom ROM, you wipe system and data..??,because data shares both slots..Also when you flash a stock ROM on slot B to have an unrooted partiton, you are going to loose ROOT and TWRP on the other one, ..

I have ran stock rooted in slot a and stock unrooted on b and had twrp on both slots just fine. I never tried a custom ROM and stock together.

Basically you have to flash the same rom on both partitions, and then root one while leaving the other unrooted, but if you try 2 different roms you'll have issues, at least I did. Also would suggest a custom kernel as that has the bootloader patches for things like Android pay.
