Hello, I successfully rooted my Pixel 8 Pro but I am stuck at “Phone is starting” after enabling Zygisk and rebooting. It does boot fine into safe mode tho. What can cause this issue and how can I fix it? Thx a lot!

    I’m assuming you’re using Android 14.

    Do you actually see your lockscreen or your launcher, or are you just dumped to a “Android is Starting” dialog after the boot animation goes? I’d try to get an adb logcat up to see what the device is doing/gotten stuck on, but you would have needed to authorize your device beforehand…

    Are you using Magisk for root or riru? Seeing as you’re using a very recent version of Android, I’d say try a dev build of Magisk and see if that works any better. I would have also suggested using an older version of magisk that doesn’t exploit via zygote injection, but your version of android is too new. Have a poke around on the github Issues tab and see if anyone else has gotten stuck with the same issue as you.

    Another thing would be to try changing your phone’s boot slot in fastboot (don’t flash, just change slot) - maybe something for the zygote injection is missing from the boot slot your device defaulted to?

      Just dumped to a “Android is Starting”, sometimes it boots up fine but there is no status bar/bottom pill/gestures. It does not boot on the other slot. How can I get a dev build? Thx!
