Hey I just wanted to say a huge thanks for making this video. It gave me the confidence to root my Pixel 6 Pro. It's also really good to see high quality channels like yourself dive into the "enthusiast" market with videos like these.
Correction: Nobody did anything tbh. It was never Nova's fault for the third party gesture thing. It was Google's fault. And they had updated nova for the new animation for home months ago
There's an easy method: go to magisk and restore images. Then you can download the OTA update but don't restart for install yet. Go back to magisk, install to inactive slot, and then restart to install the update.
Pretty much yes. I figured since this video is a couple years old that the software used would have been updated. I used magisk v27.0, and the android image file was the second newest one in the list on the site provided based on the build number. I just followed exactly what he explained step by step and it worked. I was half expecting something to fail but it was fine. Even the bootloop issue he mentioned sort of happened but after a couple reboot cycles it booted fine.
@@_clownworld The android file I used was based on what version my phone was running before I rooted. I just matched up the build numbers and used that one.
Hi long time android user here. I plan to upgrade my Samsung s9 to a pixel 6. I'm so glad rooting is this simple for the pixel 6. I remember rooting my T-Mobile G1. Man how time flies. I missed having a rooted device. Samsung makes it impossible to root their phones.
I just want to add that when I did this today, I came across an issue where even a factory reset didn't fix the bootloop. Turns out the reason was because I had downloaded the wrong version of the Pixel 6 Pro image. Because google pulled the December 2021 update from the images page, but my Pixel shipped with it, I downloaded and tried to flash the October update. This meant my boot image was incompatible, and recovering involved flashing the entire software image from October and starting again.
The reason why I love android, the level of control and the fact that devs allow you to truly make the device, yours. Even though after switching to the OP8 Pro, I really haven't had the need to root my device like back in the day, I do seriously miss it. The plethora of ROM choices, the advanced levels of Substratum customization, Xposed modules, Audio engines. However, I've had my fair share of headaches and unstable roms over the course of the last decade but I can't deny your video has reignited the itch! Why you do this to me Sam! P.S your videos are on a whole other level
Successfully root my Pixel 6a running Android 13. Encountered some problems in the process: 1. At 4:38, be sure OEM unlocking is enabled under Developer options, otherwise you'll get "flashing unlock is not allowed" error. 2. If you don't see the Magisk icon at 9:43, simply download the apk from online again.
Hey, I go the same boot loop...But unfortunatly my recovery does not boot into fastboot mode. Tried to flash the init_boot.img to revert to boot, but still stuck in bootloader, any ideas?
As of this typing, I had to use Magisk 24.3 to root my Pixel 6. The Canary build would only open to a black screen. And I had to do a factory reset, despite first rebooting back to the bootloader first (as suggested in the comments).
Hello.my google pixel 6 is always rebooting, I did everything as per the video about the problem is the same as the author of the video, but I can't get out of the reboot cycle. Please help me
Followed this on my Mac and it worked exactly as described. Thanks. Question, though: no Magisk modules are available in the app. Do we need to hunt these down on xda?
Cheers mate followed ur guide and it worked. One thing I noticed on magisk the modules should load up in a list but the modules don't download so I can see them. But luckily I already had the module files on my previous phone and just copied them over and installed from storage did you notice this.
Fixed the module issue. It was because of the canary magisk app. After I used ur canary app to mod the boot file and all that when the phone running I then get magisk to download the stable version of the app then I uninstall the app then I go to file a manger downloads and install the app. And the modules now load.
In case anyone thinks that rooting is the only way to get rid of the launcher , Nova and other launchers are able to replace your home screen and add customization without root
I think the easier way here is to get the modify boot image off your phone with magisk, THEN do the verity fix, rewipe, and THEN root. Also make sure your USB google drivers are up to date!
when i flash the patched magisk it over ill get a bootloop so i tried temporialy flashing with fastboot boot "boot file" but it didnt work so i reversed the changes i dont know what was going wrong there. The first time i rooted my phone same thing happened but factory reseting makes it and the root work and i didnt had a problem with it bc it was new but on my current pixel 4a i dont want reset it again and it should work without it but it didnt. does someone know why flashing the file doesnt work? To name more details i also used the latest image since my phone is on the latest version
this is my question, in my case it bootlooped because i assumed the top img was the latest (it's actually at the bottom) and when I tried to do it with the updated one i got that corrupt screen which i just reloaded because i used the temp command and i got back to my (unrooted) factory rom
I watched this for nostalgia in a way. The main reason I used to root was to upgrade to the latest Android version, but now I have a Pixel 6, so. Good shit tho.
Yes, the thing is they don't bother to make custom recoveries like they used to these days if they even make any at all since there are so many phones. Best case you might find some unofficial unreliable twrp that creates more problems than it solves. I miss the good ol' nexus days.
My problem is...when you install an update and need to flash a patched boot image again, is it going to act up and require another factory reset?? That would be terrible.
@@Fallen_Angels Well what I worry about is an "issue" upon the boot that forces you to factory reset, otherwise I can already flash the build with one line of command without wiping anything, no flash tool necessary.
First of all thanks for the great work Second i do want to root but lot of stuff stop working so is there anything i can do to make it work Like banking apps and other root blocked apps
Would you recommend rooting this devices for remote control purposes? I have family with severe parkinsons I'm look to give a him a rooted phone that I could use to play music and tv for him. I'm also wondering what apps to look into, maybe they don't need root at all. TIA
No! On windows, PowerShell is like the BaSH, and in turn you need to use ./adb before the command otherwise it won't work. In CMD, you only need adb though.
I have a very noob question. I want to root my Pixel 6 Pro and I think this guy knows what he's doing. But to be sure I've also read XDA 6/6 Pro guide and all the steps are the same except for the vbmeta thing. On xda guide there's not that step. What should I do?
Do you still get updates from Google after unlocking bootloader and rooting with Magisk ??, If so then what would happened if you update OTA with Magisk installed ?
Hey mate, kiwi here, sadly VoLTE and 5g, despite being supported by both the pixel 6 and our local network carriers, is not available here on the pixel 6s as its locked by google. I was wondering whether you knew how to unlock this by rooting the phone and if you could do a vid on that or direct me to one that shows it? Cheers Brother
I just realized, I can't root because Google pulled the Dec images..... Guess I'll have to go back to waiting. Thanks for the video! Visual helps me a lot.
Cannot decide whether to do it or not. I want it because I want to convert Japanese to Global. On one hand everything seems pretty simple, on the other hand you never know what can go wrong, I get scared when I read some comments from people who failed to do this...

On Android 13 pixel 6, I cannot find any .img file in the archive... I'm kinda lost. Imma check the Google manual page and come back if I can find a solution, in case anyone else is facing this issue ! UPDATE : On the Factory Images page, I couldn't see the downloads because I didn't accepted the conditions (bottom of the page) so I downloaded an OTA image, which don't work the same. Google now advice us to use OTA images, but it won't work the same way for this tutorial. TLDR : Just accept the conditions at the bottom of the Factory image page and download the right image
This method doesn't work anymore with the pixel 7 pro. Play services gets unhides it self in the magiks app after a reboot. Will there be a updated version for Android 13?
I'm not gonna Root my Google Pixel 6 until Google pushes out the January Update to fix a lot of the problem's the Phone's are having I haven't even been using my Google Pixel 6 as my daily Phone yet I've still been using my Google Pixel 4a 5G because at least I know my Pixel 4a 5G is reliable and doesn't drop call's or have other problem's like the Pixel 6 does. Honestly I'm really disappointed in Google for how they are handling this I understand it takes some time to fix these issues but it shouldn't take until near the end of January to push out a Update but once the Update is pushed out I should be able to use my Pixel 6 as my daily Phone and Root it at least I hope because I didn't just get the Phone for it to sit on my desk.
you have to note, that you cant use banking apps anymore, because they detect rooted devices and so you cant use them anymore. one point for me to not root my device
I'm on Windows 11 Pro x64. ADB commands working. But when I reboot to fastboot and type the command "fastboot flashing unlock" it shows "waiting for device" and then get all commands listed. Don't know how to solve? Edit: Used Linux and all worked out
@@MattHailey7 never tried using virtualbox for sending commands do android smartphones. I have Linux installed on an old laptop with 2.0 ports. Seems 2.0 USB ports are the best for flashing bricked smartphones
In 2021 totally useless people. You can brick your phone and plenty of apps stop working. Rooting was justified 5 to 10 years ago to gain performance, but performance is not an issue in 2021. You have adblockers that work fine with a non rooted phone, like blokada.
After typing "fastboot flashing unlock", no confirmation appears on my phone. Windows terminal says "waiting for device". Anybody else having this issue?
@@CrucialTech1 I did. I went into my "device manager" from my computer, and had to manually install the "android bootloader interface drivers". I'm not sure why they weren't installed. But I would try to install those and see if it fixes your problem
@@CrucialTech1 well before you start, do ADB commands work? Because for me, ADB was able to communicate with my phone but fastboot wasn't. If neither ADB or fastboot work with your phone you might need to try something else
Hey sam, i recently followed your video "How to Root the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro!" I gotten into the bootloop issue and it didn't say how to resolve it, would you mind helping me?
Is rooting really worth it in 2021? The idea of flashing my phone regularly whenever there is a new android update is making me reconsider. A brick phone is a scary scenario. customization is not worth the stress. Thanks anyways
Yes it is worth it imo if you want to get updates and stay rooted before selecting the reboot button on the update page open up magisk and select install to inactive slot and reboot when done
I have a question how do you remove iPhone credentials that are not yours because my phone was hacked by scammers I’m looking around for a way to remove these accounts from my Google Manager.
but excuse me, when in a month there will be the new update, if I install it I would have to reboot the boot.img modified by magisk to solve it afterwards, and this would not be a problem. But again though it will ask me to restore to factory data? because saving the data every time is impossible
Finally sam back to his basic.... welcome back to android world men.... excellent video

@@CrucialTech1 well before you start, do ADB commands work? Because for me, ADB was able to communicate with my phone but fastboot wasn't. If neither ADB or fastboot work with your phone you might need to try something else
@@ryoboi432 thanks sir and I already got it after 3 hours lol
Can rooting enable 5g in unsupported countries, can you please help
I imagine the pixel 7 will be the same method. If they still allow the same method.
Hey sam, i recently followed your video "How to Root the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro!" I gotten into the bootloop issue and it didn't say how to resolve it, would you mind helping me?
Very nice ❤️
Hope you can upload one for the pixel 7 soon
Why you need to root a telephone in 2022 I wonder? I need to use the bank app and Netflix better than root.
Is there a new video of this? I have a Android 13 version (Pixel 6)... And I dont know if is the same process
Is rooting really worth it in 2021? The idea of flashing my phone regularly whenever there is a new android update is making me reconsider. A brick phone is a scary scenario. customization is not worth the stress. Thanks anyways
Well depending on the phone it can be worth it. For me rather than root , it's more about custom roms in general that's important
Yes it is worth it imo if you want to get updates and stay rooted before selecting the reboot button on the update page open up magisk and select install to inactive slot and reboot when done
I was just thinking about this myself. A 2021 root pros and cons would be nice.
I have a question how do you remove iPhone credentials that are not yours because my phone was hacked by scammers I’m looking around for a way to remove these accounts from my Google Manager.
I get fastboot error cannot determine image filename when trying to flash magisk img
but excuse me, when in a month there will be the new update, if I install it I would have to reboot the boot.img modified by magisk to solve it afterwards, and this would not be a problem. But again though it will ask me to restore to factory data? because saving the data every time is impossible
Hi Sam. I've been a Nova Launcher user for ages. Does it work with Quick Switch? Thank you.
Nope
