Google Pixel 2 bootloop on Android 11

[kyoto44]

Installed latest version from canary branch via TWRP and boot doesn't even starts

[stanleylhs]

Try using the patch boot.img method and flash via fastboot, it works as in #3153

[IahmadDev]

boot.img method also creates a bootloop on my pixel 2, I had to reset it.

[MaxwellDPS]

Can confirm, boot Loop occurring on Pixel 4 flame using the manager app as well

[SkeleBones]

I am having the same kind of issue on Pixel 2 XL. It just gets stuck booting up though not a bootloop. Unless that is considered a bootloop.

According to @stanleylhs, this is apparently user error

[kyoto44]

@topjohnwu user error? so if you install magisk on clean system and then it isn't boots it's user error?

[topjohnwu]

@kyoto44 don't install via TWRP, it's that simple.
TWRP is not designed to run on Android 11 yet

[kyoto44]

@topjohnwu could you tell the way how me and others should install it?

You can install magisk without TWRP

1. patch your boot.img by magisk.
2. reboot to bootloader
   adb reboot bootloader
3. flash the new magisk patched boot img.
   fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
4. reboot to system
   fastboot reboot

But I am actually install it this way on my Pixel 2 XL. Stuck at Google Logo, after I doing this. Not sure if it's my problem or not.

Have you made sure that you don't have any modules installed that could be incompatible with A11?

[109021017]

@Didgeridoohan No module has been installed yet.

[Didgeridoohan]

@Didgeridoohan No module has been installed yet.

And no leftovers from a previous Magisk install? Did you perform a full uninstall of Magisk prior to updating, or wipe /data?

Yes, I cleared the storage of Magisk Installer from Settings after update to canary version.

Have you also tried after the flashes to come to the stocj recovery and made a factory reset there, had worked for me

I don't want to wipe the data. But if that's the only way, I will give it a try.

What? That wouldn't remove any modules... Modules are stored in /data/adb/modules, completely separate from the Manager. You would have to either do a complete uninstall of Magisk (not the Manager), manually delete them from /data/adb/modules or wipe /data to remove them.

Haben Sie auch versucht, nach den Blitzen zur stocj-Wiederherstellung zu kommen und dort einen Werksreset durchzuführen, hatte für mich gearbeitet

You don't have to make a complete reset, your data can be preserved

Do they just have to look at what their recovery writes/says 😉

Migisk successfully installed after I:

1. I boot into TWRP temporarily, and delete the /data/adb/modules folder
2. reboot to bootloader
3. flash the patched boot.img
4. reboot to system

Thank you.

Also, at least for me. After trial & many errors. I realized my adb files where the culprit. I hadn't updated them. After that. Everything went smoothly. Running Android 11 Magisk on Pixel 2 XL.

HI all, re-opening this issue since I'm running into the same problem without any clear solution.

Pixel 2 XL unlocked. Android 11. Factory reset. Tried installing Magisk right out of the gate. Attempting either the TWRP method or fastboot magisk install method cause a bootlop.

No modules are installed. Just trying a clean Magisk install on Android 11. Patched using Canary nightly. Doesn't seem to matter.

Double checked to see if /data/adb/modules was present. Folder doesn't even exist.

No idea where to go from here.
