ROOT via CF-Auto-Root [SuperSU]

[Displax]

I generated Chainfire`s CF-Auto-Root, so you can try use it.

1. Download and unpack CFAR-taimen-default.zip.
2. Reboot your device into bootloader mode.
3. Install standart fastboot drivers.
4. Run "root.bat" file.
This batch file unlock your bootloader (if it`s not) and boot modified kernel.
Wait, when device automaticaly reboot. Then just install SuperSU apk.

I do not give any guarantees of it. If it causes bootloop - flash factory image.
Tell me if it works.

Much wiser to simply wait for official post from Chainfire.

Yup. This method doesn't work. I already gave it a shot. SuperSU just states "Root undetected". At least I didn't get a bootloop...

Yes he did just a week or so ago.

I'm pretty sure chainfire retired and we will have to wait for magisk now

And the magisk Dev just finally got the pixel one, so we maybe waiting awhile. I was thinking we might want to start a fund for either him or goodwin_c he's the one who built the unofficial versions of magisk most of this year for our og pixels. I have talked to him and he doesn't plan on getting one.

Firmware.mobi (Chainfire's site) has an option to automatically generate and download a CFAR package. Was the OP generated using this site? If not, someone should try that route.

Never mind. It was. Ignore me.

Still on a pixel xl 1. So sorry if thos is off base, but has anyone tried to use our method on this phone? Boot to the twrp image then flash Chainfires latest SU?

I am guessing it is TWRP that fails?

There is currently no TWRP for this device.

Twrp fails. SuperSU 2.82 SR1 boot to root fails.

Apparently CCMT has been running SuperSU for the last couple years anyways: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/03/chainfire-announces-end-involvement-supersu/

So it's possible that the CCMT team will update SuperSU for Pixel 2 devices.

Assuming they have the device?

They bought it a couple years ago, but Chainfire's still been actively developing with them, until the beginning of October when he finally "quit". He's still going to consult until the end of February though, so there might still be hope that he will be able to assist and speed things up for us! XDA Article About It Here

Boot to TWRP just fails in Fastboot. It just reboots the phone to bootloader. ?

 

[psychotropic]

Can confirm that this does NOT work. Will wipe your phone without giving you root. I have my bootloader unlocked as well. Seems we'll have to wait for a better solution.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like the title of this should be changed because it could be a bit misleading for many people. There is also already a topic for WIP Magisk so we shouldn't split topics on trying to get root into several areas.

lol. there are lots of posts from people who have no clue what they're doing, posting guides like they know what they're doing. and just as many who don't have the device, saying 'try this!'

i dunno if any REAL devs even got this device or have any interest, seems like no.

but seriously, like we didn't try cf-auto-root yet? lol. lol...

 

[lucky_strike33]

Magisk and CF Auto Root are 2 different things but I do agree this one should be removed or even say WIP.
