Root Android 14 Without Custom Recovery ft Google Pixel 7, Magisk Patch Boot or Init Boot Image!

[@ASunstrider]

Just did it on a Pixel 6 with Android 14. Followed the step exactly and the phone booted perfectly. Thanks Munchy! Earned a sub from me today!

[@Lcdjosh2024]

Gonna try today does rooted nethunter work as well ?

[@KuliKuli-s2l]

Did you use the init_boot or boot?

[@eduardohernandez2046]

Can confirm, It works for the google pixel 6 running Android 14, thanks for the video

welcome ..

[@russellwilliams2898]

Thanks! This was a lot of fun! Especially with SUCCESS ! ! !😁

thanks for the Super thanks ...

[@munchy_cool]

My pleasure!

[@cekroz]

14:26 if you see "command (flash:) is not allowed when locked" m execute "fastboot flashing unlock" and select the option "unlock" on the device to continue.

[@TheoParis]

Thanks, I was able to root my Pixel 7a with this amazing tutorial!! Previously, I acidentally kept screwing up android but this guide actually worked :)

[@munchy_cool]

You are so welcome!

[@Underground_Reality]

another one like for me,rooted fine my 7 pro! you are making good videos,keep it up

[@munchy_cool]

Great 👍

[@Polite_Cat]

2 Things: #1: I got an error "Fastboot Partition (init_boot) Not Found" when I went to flash init_boot on my Pixel 7. This was fixed by updating my adb version, I had an old version on my PC. #2: If you dont know already, rooting may break certain apps that require safetynet such as banking apps, also Netflix and some others. I downloaded the latest safetynet fix from XDA forum for Android 14, but it only gives "Basic" integrity, not "device" or "strong" integrity. Hopefully this can be fixed in the future.

[@aayushrautela]

Strong integrity won't be fixed

[@the_real_cookiez]

Thanks! Nice and clear. Did it for my Android 14 Pixel 5.

[@munchy_cool]

You're welcome!

[@CuleradiPL]

thank you for this, on Pixel 7 I had to patch init_boot not boot for it to work

@@Fatrick_Star that’s cool but Grapheneos can’t be rooted that’s the reason why I don’t installed it

[@Fatrick_Star]

@@KarlosFirst-1 You can ! Same way as any other android OS just patch the boot.img then install with fastboot install :) thats how i did it on my pixel 6

[@CristianAlbertoAballay]

Great video! Does it work with Pixel 6a? Can all data be lost? tks

[@munchy_cool]

yes it will work ...patch boot image for pixel 6a data will be lost on bootloader unlock ..if bootloader already unlocked then rooting will not result in data loss

[@salmebale2]

[@munchy_cool]

[@yahyabora3451]

thanks brother its working fine for rooting even a custom rom ...peace from Morocco

[@brandicook8497]

Thank you so much it worked! I rooted my Pixel 5 thanks to your tutorial. I only had one small issue, I had to type fastboot flash unlock before it let me boot the patched img. Other than that I was able to follow the tutorial in real speed so it was really quick. Thanks!

[@munchy_cool]

Great 👍

[@Muneeb100]

I got an A14 5g and tried patching the AP file in magisk, then flashed it on odin, the phone got bricked, thank God I had to just reset it to get it working again

[@yochemin]

I'm running evolutionX 14 on pixel 2 xl tiaman , and want to be sure that the boot.img is from the evo x zip, as against the boot .img from the A 11 , or put both in there? Well made video, Thanks

[@Lucky69K]

Tbh custom recovery is like skipping hard levels 😂

[@solanumtuberosa]

True, much easier with custom recovery. Screwing up via fastboot method means you have to restore everything via a fresh firmware flash.

[@munchy_cool]

you should know the hard way as well ..thats how devs root it and get the info they need to make custom recoveries

[@solanumtuberosa]

@@munchy_cool not really. Most device trees are publicly released on github by the manufacturers themselves. For those unavailable it is a pain to compile from oem firmware so devs don't do them anyways usually.

[@munchy_cool]

which OEM has released device tree other than Google? wonder why lineage or PE devs have to wait for kernel source before creating a device tree for a device ...

[@solanumtuberosa]

@@munchy_cool well, I have only used xiaomi and sony and they released them so I guess I was spoiled on that end. Guess other manufacturers were that open minded on custom rom developement yet.

Nailed it. Thanks!

[@travistichenor]

Yes it works. i just succeeded. BUT there is ONE command line he doesn't tell you. He overlooked one part in the instructions in the link. It is not enough to just enable OEM unlocking in the settings, you also need to do the actual unlocking by typing "fastboot flashing unlock" in the CMD. I was stuck for HOURS all because of this one line. EVERY SINGLE tutorial says "just turn it on in developer settings and you are good to go!"

yeah, tried tried all 3 regions same issue, that is boot loop when there is the G logo with a progress bar beneath it. I did make it work somehow. To make it work here Is what i did 1. once you get the boot animation keep pressing the volume down key. 2. This will boot you into safe mode 3. Reboot from safe mode 4 . you will boot normally into your OS.
