Pixel/Pixel XL - All Things Root Sticky

[Brian706]

Notes:
1. Codenames:

• Pixel = sailfish
• Pixel XL = marlin

2. I have locked this thread for the sake of keeping it clean, straightforward & informative. If you have any questions or need any help rooting your device, please don't hesitate to start a thread in the Pixel/Pixel XL rooting section. I normally check the forums throughout the day and will get alerts on new threads in this section. I have been doing my best to keep up with all the latest information in the Pixel root world and am happy to help.

3. My current setup (for anyone interested): Rooted stock rom, stock kernel, TWRP custom recovery.
