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.
do u now how i update now my rooted pixel 6? January update is out...need some help plllss :)
I've been using Nova launcher on my pixel 6. They finally updated it to work with the gesture navigation. I'm liking it so far😊
Yup me too. Works almost perfect. Just the animations are not as smooth even going back to the home screen from a opened app. But still pretty good
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
I have nova launcher on a Xiaomi device. How do i use gestures?
@@malekqaddarah root your device and flash an AOSP rom
Good to see that it's so easy to unlock Pixel's bootloader. Unlocking a Xiaomi phone's bootloader is a pain.
This made me feel really nostalgic. Might just root my OnePlus 8T
would be awesome to have a vid showing how to OTA update on pixels while keeping root, your videos are phenomenal man. Thank you for the knowledge :)
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.
Worked fine on Pixel 6 running Android 14. Thank you!
Did you just straight up use the links in the description?
I have the same device as you and same software too
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.
@@FatCatGarfield still working for you? are you able to pass play integrity? thanks man.
@@FatCatGarfield wish i knew which android file you used, there are tons LOL
@@_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.
I haven't rooted in years, but I might have to try this on my P6P. It seems that rooting is still somewhat the same after all these years. :)
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.
Good old days hard to find such videos these days
Warning don’t try this on December update, google patched something and it doesn’t work.
follow same steps except for vbmeta and do initboot instead of boot.img
They can't patch rooting lol so nice lie
@@passivevii4052 you are stupid
Can't wait to Root my Phone to make sure I can NOT see any adverts on my phone!! 🥳🥳🥳
What do you use?
@@vinotux pixel 4 but going to buy a pixel 6 Pro and root following this.
@@blaster915 no, I meant which magisk module?
@@vinotux I woud like to know as well :)
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.
do u know how i can update my rooted pixel 6 to the new january update?
@@michelksuthosa Not sure as I have not tried yet
I did the same, flashed wrong image and now i can't figure out how to flash the right one as my phone can only go to fastboot or recovery mode
Got it
@@martinhenry6478 what did you do im stuggling with that now
people with the verizon version :
*cries in oem unlocking greyed out*
I feel like there are only few channels that creates quality vedeos on root and costamisation ....and this channel never disappoints😍😍😍
This video made me enter into the beautiful rooting community.
Rooted all my Pixels, Pixel 6, 7 and 8!
Thanks for showing folks how to approach this with a Mac. Much appreciated.
Haven't rooted a phone since the good old days of the Nexus 4. Using the Nexus root tool kit
Your videos are so consistently good wtf
Root pixel 6 pro android 13 ?
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?
Love your videos, man!
Need your review ASAP! Great video as always brotha
Super eagerly waiting for your pixel 6 pro review. My buy depends upon your review
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
How did you get that android recovery menu in the last step? I am also boot looping, but I didn't get that. Please help! Thank you.
Noice.... Keep em content comin...
Much Love❣️❣️
Can rooting enable 5g in unsupported countries, can you please help
Great, very informative. Thank you, it worked!
Good project to do this weekend. Will I be able to use my banking apps ? or is that too risky now ? Cheers in advnace mate.
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
According to my bank app Rooting is like being a terrorist...I think I need two drivers one rooted and one legal to have that bank shit
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.
@Sam Beckman Great work! Lots of detail. Is that a Maton 808 hanging on your wall?
Very interesting 💥 hope to root my one too 👀🤘
My phone broke and the whole network shut down and my computer exploded. Thanks alot (fr tho it worked)
or flash a custom recovery instead via bootloader. and just flash magisk zip. easy peasy
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.
Very nice video thanks, maybe next time mention to start the downloads at start of video
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
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.
you can update your phone with android flash tool and uncheck factory reset.
@@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.
@@mizarddo oh okay, well when I do it I just disable my modules, uninstall magysk then flash but whatever works for you.
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
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).
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?
follow xda
All good until 9:31 then the reset left me with a white Google screen, and a menu saying your device cannot be trusted. I think it's bricked.
I also used root and quick switch on a google pixel 4a now i am unrooted and its 10 time better my opinion😅
Great video 👍
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
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 ?
Make the Lawnchair Setup videos.
Where can i get quickswitch app?
Tested and worked on pixel 6 pro
Android 13
December update 2022
Purely to get VoLTE module and 5G for unsupported countries
Damn google
👍🏻
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?
how can i download system updates without destroying root?
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.
@@trtertretererterterter510 do u know how i can update my rooted pixel 6 to the new january update?
my command prompt when i put fastboot flashingunlock just says < waiting for any device >
Also had that weird boot loop, but the factory setting popup thingy fixed my issue.
which android version are you on? are you able to pass play integrity?
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.
This is too complicated I wish we could just instal an application where I choose my device, click a button to root and it did all this shit for me
I feel you bro..
Amazing! Quick question, does the rooted version of the pixel 6 enable Miracast?
Samsung android are still #1 to me.
Caused of samsung is the only "brand" one of android phones who has unlocked their bootloader from the factory
pixel launcher keeps keeps flashing black after I used quickswitch
Thanks for this kind of content. Love it ❤️
When i rooted my pixel 6 pro my neighbours must have heard me shout yes 5 times
Very difficult to see the screen of your computer even in 4K. Can you root the pixel with the latest applied patches ?
I imagine the pixel 7 will be the same method. If they still allow the same method.
Thank you for this video I'm subscribing but I was wondering were you able to install a twrp recovery On this phone ?
This method will allow you to install OTA updates?
Can I follow this same method on my Pixel 4a?
I hv problem with this phone black screen and flashing
I have a pixel 6 now running android 14, what has changed to root it?
Why don't you crop the screen to the window you are typing in? I don't have to see you face in that moment
Do we receive updates after rooting?
The latest update does not have boot.image, how can I root it?
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.
can you do a video how to update a rooted device??
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!
June 2023 - rooting pixel 6 with android 13 and this comment saved me lmao
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.
Welp I cant do this because it says that Oem unlocking is unavailable on carrier locked devices.
after i restart bootloader i cant find the option for "unlock bootloader"
I cycled though all of the options and it just insnt an option. Neither is "do not unlock bootloader"
Typing "fastboot flashing unlock" does nothing. Command prompt just says "< waiting for any device >"
The only options are
-Start
-Restart bootloader
-Recovery mode
-Rescue mode
-Barcode
-Power off
It shows:
Fastboot Mode

I am having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?
You're such a great teacher
how do you get to the recovery menu im stuck in a bootloop
I like your videos but man I hate your home screen setup, what would be the point of wasting so much time to just make the icons smaller?
hey i need some help.. my Pixel 7 pro is stuck at the fasstboot mode and says reason boot failure.. wen i select recovery mode it just brings me back to fastboot mode... the device is also not listet in cmd by adb devices. I hope somone can help me
I need to learn these thing its open another world ilike the idea of being the one who control the device
Why you need to root a telephone in 2022 I wonder? I need to use the bank app and Netflix better than root.
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
A little nerd here but Can I get software updates after rooting my phone?
After typing "fastboot flashing unlock", no confirmation appears on my phone. Windows terminal says "waiting for device". Anybody else having this issue?
yep me to find a fix? been trying for 3 hours lol
@@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
@@ryoboi432 how do i go about doing this lol
@@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
when doing the flashing unlock command step my phone does not give the option to unlock bootloader only to restart bootloader is this accepatble?
Thanks mate
Very nice ❤️
great video
I get fastboot error cannot determine image filename when trying to flash magisk img
I've rooted phones before..the 6a is a nightmare. Bootloader unlocks fine..flashing the patched magisk disc image with ADB will not work. Given up
People still rooting phones in 2021
Does it work for Android 14 ... I have pixel 6 pro android 14 version
Current build number is SQ1D - don't see a download for that. Any ideas?
How did he get full AMOLED black?
so, can we still use banking apps with this? sorry i missed it
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
How do i update now my rooted pixel 6? January update is out...need some help plllss :)
