Hence, it took awhile for the contributors to gain a stable root access and build a custom TWRP recovery for the Google Pixel (2). We have already seen that the Pixel phones now run on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo and there have been major changes to the Pixel’s core system including the partitions. This is a new beginning for Pixel users as well as the future for Android development as future updates will be related to the new Nougat OS. Moreover, the most awaited root and TWRP recoveries for the two new Google phones called the Pixel (sailfish) or Pixel XL (marlin) and the Pixel 2/XL are now available. We will keep updating the post with new versions. Today, some of the most recognized Android developers topjohnwu, have released a full proof solution to root the newest Android P 9.0 version. If you have been following Android lately, then the latest Android P 9.0 Developer Preview version is available for download for the Google Pixel and Pixel 2 devices. Now that the most popular rooting tool called Magisk Manager has been updated to support Android 9.0 P, it can be used on Google Pixel devices. This post is a continuation of the detailed tutorial on rooting the Googel Pixel and Pixel 2 on the Oreo. Plus, you get to keep your warranty in countries where software modifications may void it.The post has been updated to work with Android 9.0 P with the latest Magisk v16.1 systemless rooting tool. On the other hand, Samsung Knox is still working (because you aren't unlocking the bootloader), so apps like Secure Folder or Samsung Pay continue to work. The combination firmware is the only reason root is possible, but it also has its own limitation: Flashing it will cap the battery charging to a max 80%, unfortunately. You also need to be running what's called a combination firmware - firmware that Samsung uses in the factory for testing. This is two major versions of Android behind the current release based on Android 10. Currently, you are only able to root the Snapdragon Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 9 if you're running Android 8.0 or 8.1 Oreo. Root isn't available for the devices on the up-to-date firmware at this point in time. The catch is that rooting the Snapdragon Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 9 requires a certain Android version being installed on the devices.
