Hi, I have a Pixel 6 phone with Iodé OS and would like to root it. As I understand it, doing it requires either a custom recovery mode or tweaking stuff from a PC with adb, which results in a factory reset (and wouldn’t that remove Iodé OS entirely as it’s a custom OS ?).
I can’t find any custom rescue mode compatible with my Pixel 6, so does anyone know if root with adb would work ? As in would the factory reset following the root still have iodé OS ? Don’t know if I’m really clear, but if someone got me and has any answer, I’ll take it !
Thanks in advance !
Here you find the instructions how to root the phone with Magisk
I didn’t know it was possible to root this way ! Looks interesting but I can’t do the last step as my Pixel 6 isn’t detected via fastboot even though it’s in fastboot mode
Why would you like to root your phone anyway?
What OS are you using?
Windows or Linux?
Of Linux, which one?
Well, in the end, this guide worked. I just needed to change my USB cable for fastboot to be detected on my PC.
I used Linux (Ubuntu).
And after successfully rooting my phone, I can confirm that it is nowadays quite useless and will break some apps like banking apps, which will require more tinkering !
