Rooting the Pixel XL and updates

[jreink01]

Hello, my goal is to get Miracast working on my phone and from what i read, rooting is the only way to do this. Can anyone confirm that adding a line to the buildprop does indeed make miracast work? This is really the only reason i need to root and if i do root, i would stay stock. If i decide to root, am i correct in assuming that i could no longer accept ota updates then? If that is the case, do you know what forum thread i would use to get the latest updates? Thanks in advance.

Can't answer you're Miracast question, but to root: flash SuperSU 2.79 SR3 in TWRP.

Will this work with the Google store edition?

Yup, it's only compatible with the Google store edition.

So, if I'm rooted than i won't be able to take a ota update then?

If that's the case, do you know the thread where i could flash a safe update?

Also, if i decide to root, is there a step by step guide to get this done, it's been quite a few years since i last rooted a phone and don't want to screw it up, thanks.

Got my phone rooted, do you know the thread where i could flash a safe update without losing root?

You can go to the Google android ota page, directions are there to adb side load it. You will loose root, I don't beliece you can update and keep root.
