- If your “Patch” button is greyed, you might need to install Magisk under “Modules” at the top. Or, you might just want to start the phone if you’re in the bootloader.\n

<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Once it boots up install root checker to see if it rooted, otherwise install Magisk from here: github.com\/topjohnwu\/Magisk<\/a>. I would recommend downloading the canary version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under Magisk, you can hit install and select “Direct Install”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Honestly this is the way I found to work. However, you can probably skip PixelFlasher and patch the image directly via Magisk. Good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making rooted status\/Magisk a bit more obfuscated:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you need to hide the fact that your phone is rooted, or that Magisk is installed, because some apps are sensitive to that, do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Enable Zygisk in the settings of Magisk <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Install the following two modules (by downloading the zip, and installing under the “modules” tab in Magisk):\n
- \n
- Play Integrity Fix<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Shamiko<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under settings of Magisk, hide the application by changing it to a different name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do not enforce DenyList (Shamiko will do a better job than the built in DenyList)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Download Yet Another Safetynet Attestation Checker (YASNAC)<\/a> and run the attestation, you should pass basic integrity and CTS profile match, with no recommendations at the bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- That’s all, if you need, restart your phone and wipe the storage for the play store, and you should be good to go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Running commands as root via ADB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So, once you have rooted your phone, you can run commands via ADB with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.\\adb.exe shell \"su -c <your command here>\"\n\n#For example, running frida-server would be..\n.\\adb.exe push frida-server \/data\/local\/tmp\n.\\adb.exe shell \"su -c \/data\/local\/tmp\/frida-server\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nOther resources I found were useful:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
XDA has great guides, this one was OK – https:\/\/xdaforums.com\/t\/how-to-install-magisk-on-the-pixel-8.4662280\/#post-89615369<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frida server releases (you’ll want arm64 server for Pixel 8): https:\/\/github.com\/frida\/frida\/releases<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Youtube has how to do this only via Magisk which I probably should have tried too heh:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
