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!

    Are you on GrapheneOS by chance? Either disable Zygisk or try the build I linked here. They kinda rushed the 26 builds out the door without a lot of testing, which is a shame, considering there will be no more releases until v27

    https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/7489

    However, be warned: my system was very unstable with Zygisk enabled even with this build. Everything would “work,” but apps would randomly crash, be unresponsive, or just display very strange behavior that all went away when Zygisk was disabled. I leave it disabled for now and will try again in v27.

    For apps that have root detection, try web versions of those services when possible. Especially banking services.

      Yep I’m on gOS, should’ve mentionned that. Do we know when v27 will be released? I’m still pretty new to all of this, coming from a jailbroken iPhone. Would you suggest building Magisk from here or trying the dev build in the meantime? Thanks a lot!

        Look at the build I linked in my issue there. You will see an artifacts page where you can download a working build as a zip. You need to be logged in to GitHub to see the download link.

        But like I said, Zygisk is still pretty broken even with that build. You’ll get “further,” but I wouldn’t recommend running it as a daily driver.

        No one has any clue when 27 is coming. I just know 26.4 was the last 26.x build.

          Hey! It has been 2 months and magisk v27.0 is out. Do you think that is solves the zygisk issue?

              Welp, are you still on gOS and looking to root it?

              Check out this post on XDA forum, looks like someone fixed thr no status bar/pil/gestures problem and zygisk works but LSPosed doesn’t because of some gOS security enhancements…

                I’ve already rooted it with Magisk, I just don’t really need Zygisk so I haven’t really bothered working around it. The only app I would have needed Zygisk DenyList with was PayPal, and I just use the website in a browser now.

                Thanks though!

                  Nice to know, does your bank work without DenyList or you use it in a browser?

                    My banking app whines at me that “your phone is rooted, use at your own risk,” but otherwise it works fine. Every bank is different though.
