[SOLVED] Magisk patched boot.img for Android 11?

[mulperi]

Hi there,

I managed to patch the boot.img with Magisk 20.4 (20400).
Then I replaced the patched boot.img and updated to Android 11 with "flash_all.bat" method.
However, the phone did not boot until I flashed stock original boot.img from Android 11 system image.

Should I have used some beta "canary" version of Magisk?

Thank you for your help!

*** Solution
Install app-debug.apk from here https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/canary
Enter new Magisk Manager and change to Canary channel in settings
Ensure you are using version 11f254e5 (20424), not the 20.4 (20400)
Patch your stock boot.img and transfer magisk_patched.img (33 734 656 bytes) to computer

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot getvar current-slot
//in my case slot b
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot

Same issue with 20.4 - I used the canary version (11f254e5) from Github and it seems to work now.

OMG!! I posted about 20 minutes later about the same issue, but I didn't solve it.
Thaks you so much, didn't know what I was doing wrong.

It worked! :highfive:
After the third try...
Don't ask me why...

I can't find the option to patch the boot.img in the canary magisk. Does anyone know why?

Confirmed working (2020-10-06)

• Pixel3 factory image Oct 2020
• Magisk Manager, canary channel, version 8dc62a02 (305) (11)

Summary of operations:

• Extracted boot.img
• copy it to the phone by `adb push ./boot.img /sdcard/Download/
• Use Magisk Manager, Install, Select and Patch File (NOTE: the phone doesn't need to be rooted yet, I just install Magisk Manager and select Canary channel in settings)
• after Magisk Manager has patched the boot.img, send it to the laptop by `adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img ~/Downloads/`
• flash magisk_patched.img using fastboot as shown in 1st post

Interesting to see it done oldschool with adb push/pull when it can be done in explorer ? still though, nice to see more evidence that it works fine on October update with Manager (305). I did it today and I worked first time - there's a poster in another thread who is having a bit of bother trying to get theirs rooted and it's keeping me awake at night as to why it hasn't worked for them ?

Good post ?

Is anyone able to get root to work on the Feb 2021 factory image? Flashing the patched boot image doesn't take any effect in Magisk at all, and I do not have root access. I've tried both official and canary builds.

Yes, works perfectly as with every other monthly update. I'm on 21.4 Magisk and 8.0.7 Manager.

I´m with the same issue, did you fixed it?

Hi All,
Just wanted to tell that CANARY version will patch boot image fine for ANDROID 11.
For ANDROID 11 , STABLE version caused me the bootloop on LG device. But CANARY version patched image worked great.
Have a great time.!!

 

[4L3xN3t]

does this should work on april update? I've a pixel3aXL, I had to flash manually the last factory image, everything works but can't make magisk to work anymore. tryed the canary channel, Magisk-9c0e1897(22007).apk but any time I try to patch the boot.img, then I got stuck on the no bootable slot message and have to reflash the stock one.

 

[mulperi]

This is how I do it now every month, April included.

1. Download latest image (not just OTA) for your phone from here, about 1,7 Gbytes

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

2. Extract boot.img from the zip inside the big zip.

3. Transfer the boot.img to phone and patch it using Magisk app. (=old Magisk Manager). After patch is done in phone, copy magisk-patched-boot.img back to PC.

4. Edit on PC the flash-all.bat file and remove the -w flag from the end command. This prevents your device from being wiped. Save the edited bat file.

5. Now remove all Magisk addons. Systemless may stay. Also turn off Magisk hide, because new Magisk app recommends that.

6. Connect phone and put it in fastboot mode. Flash the new image with modified batch file. Flashing takes about 2 minutes and after reboot the G logo will be going on for at least 3 minutes, be patient.
c:\...\adb reboot fastboot
c:\...\flash-all.bat

7. After phone is updated and root is lost, flash the magisk_patched_boot.img in correct slot. In my case it was slot "b".
c:\...\adb reboot bootloader
c:\...\fastboot getvar current-slot
c:\...\fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched_boot.img
c:\...\fastboot reboot

DONE.

If for some strange reason your phone would bootloop
- hold down power to reboot
- press power to pause
- volume up + power to get to bootloader mode
- flash stock boot.img
