root pixel 3a

[jerome8]

Hi all

I acquired a Google pixel 3a.

I unlocked the bootloader, but can't root it with magisk manager.

So developer option enabled as well as debugging.

I downloaded the corresponding factory image to extract the boot.img

So I put it on my phone for the patch with magisk manager.

Then I transferred it to the platformtools folder of the SDK.

The pixel does not restart I have to flash the original boot.img.

PS: bootm.img and the file patched by magisk.

I did "./" because I'm on win 10

My build version QQ2A.200405.005

Thank you

What happens when you reboot after magisk boot image is flashed? I've read sometimes need to flash other boot area, in your case flash to boot_b.

it doesn't start, that's why I reflash the original boot.
how to flash on boot b?

The command should be listed along with the others when you issue just fastboot. Or Google search. I've never had to use it so I don't have it in my memory

Can you just read FAQs???

Flash b - fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

Can you just read FAQs???

Flash b - fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

I tried everything but A and B it doesn't work.
On the B I do it restarts normally but I am not rooted.
Maybe I should flash on A and B?
