[@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!

[@eshbanvelez5212]

Simple and straightforward as always, thanks Munchy!

[@munchy_cool]

My pleasure!

[@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.

[@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

[@eduardohernandez2046]

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

welcome ..

Great 👍

[@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!

[@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.

[@the_real_cookiez]

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

[@munchy_cool]

You're welcome!

[@russellwilliams2898]

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

[@munchy_cool]

thanks for the Super thanks ...

[@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

[@LenochJ]

The perfect tutorial! Thank you

[@munchy_cool]

You're very welcome!

[@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 👍

[@gauravthakkar802]

adb reboot bootloader In the terminal, can help go to the bootloader/fastboot directly without the hassle of the hardware keys combination

make sure to use init boot for your android version (including beta), region and security patch...

[@Abhishek-nw8fn]

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.
