My friend, you've been around long enough to know better. Your question does not belong in this thread. Root on the Pixel 7 is achieved in much the same way as previous Pixels, except that instead of patching boot.img, you must patch init_boot.img.

I just wanted to know if you did.

Thanks !

Thanks y'all , indeed it works!

Hello everybody.
I'm going to ask the noob questions and i'm sorry for that.

I rooted many phones but the last one was maybe 10 years ago, so plaese... be gentle :/

1) if i root the P7 (without changing ROM) will i get the OTA updates of the official google ROM?
2) is root reversable without a factory reset?
3) does root block some apps (video app, banking app, ecc)?
4) Is there a way with rooted phone to get full screen app and not cropped video?

Thanks

Hi, there are some backing apps (even meal vouchers apps) that don't work on a rooted phone. (in my case I had to revert back the root for my Pixel 7 because of this)

1. Yes, but you have to do it manually. Either by sideloading or using PixelFlasher tool (very easy to do).
2. No.
3. Yes, but there are ways around it with using some mods after installation of Magisk.
4. Can't say. Not been an issue for me.

I just got my P7 from Xfinity. Upon entering Developer Option, OEM UNLOCK is greyed out amnd won't turn on. Any work around for that?

Hello everyone, I'm afraid I'm in the boot loop. I did everything as listed above...

I have tried rooting my Pixel 7 running android 13. I have downloaded my current build number. Unlocked the boot loaded, got the init_boot.img file and ran it through magisk. After that I loaded that file onto with fastboot, and got the boot failure. Then I tried loding with fastboot flash boot back the init_boot.img file, does't work. I also tried the boot.img file too, but this doesn't also work... Any ideas how I can fix this? Have I bricked it or is there a way to get out of this boot loop. I read somewhere that there are slot's for the boot's and init_boot, but I don't know how to manually put them there...

I think I know what I did wrong. I was watching a pixel 6 rooting video, but I knew and did the init_boot.img file. The problem I have done is at the end, i have placed this command. fastboot flash boot magisk.img, I have placed the magisk init file on the boot.img on the file, I should have done fastboot flash init_boot magisk.img to my udnerstanding....So Now I tried to flash back the stock boot.img to the boot_b, as this was used, and not I get NO COMMENT android logo with red exclemation mark...

I was able to get into recovery mode, somehow wow....after trying to flash the original boot and init_boot, got into fastboot mode, then it tried to boot, held the volume down button and somehow it worked!!! What didn't work was choosing "Recovery Mode" from the fastboot, never worked, wow what a loooooop
