use the guide from Magisk here. you will need yes, unlimited storage still works after rooting.
yes, see my demo image. any USB C hub/dock that supports USB 3.0 & power delivery (PD) will be sufficient. you might also find an ethernet port useful. sorry, i don't feel comfortable recommending a specific brand or model. you should be able to get a decent one for ~$25. |
Pixel Backup Gang Issue DocumentationOverviewI have been following the setup instructions for the Steps ExecutedHere is the sequence of commands I used, intending to mount the external drive and make it accessible for backing up via Google Photos.
|
Try running start_global_shell.sh before the other scrips. Also run as su. |
Can you please show me step by step to write commands. Its been many hours since I've been working on this and unable to solve it. (If I run 'su' in the starting of temrinal and then run "start_global_shell.sh", it gives me a blank home directory I guess of I press "ls" and there are no scripts available ! I'm unablt to understand this. Please help me! 🙏🏻 |
That's normal. You have to navigate to the folder using ls after running su. |
Still unable to get it sir :(

I'm happy to provide any information you need to understand my issue. I'm new to this, so your detailed guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |
If you're still having issues. I also struggled with setting it up. I made instructions over at #2. I'm not sure how clear they are, so feel free to ask questions and I'll try my best to answer them. |
Hey @Oblivivious , Thanks for the reply. It seems that I am encountering the same issue you described, but I'm stuck at the step where you've written
FYI: I formatted the hard disk with the exFAT format, if that matters. There were only two options: exFAT and NTFS. I've also thied these below steps to check:
Still unable to understand why it is showing everytime the Drive or Resource is Busy :( |
The only thing I can think of is that the drive is not formatted to ext4. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard on windows to format the drive. You can use any other software. That's is just what I googled and what worked for me. I don't know what mkfs.ext4 does as I didn't use it. |
Okay, so I've now formatted it to ext4. I initially thought it got corrupted, so I went through the entire process again. I used the software you mentioned, but now I'm unsure which software to use for transferring files to the external HDD. Some people are saying that using the wrong software for reading/writing to the drive may corrupt it. Can you please guide me which one you used in windows to transfer files to HDD. |
Personally, I use syncthing to transfer files from my phone of pc to the pixel phone. As windows doesn't ext4 (only Linux I think) you cant directly transfer any files from windows to the drive. Just try the setup process on your pixel again with this formatted drive. |

Sorry to bother you again and again. I've done login to this software your'e telling but still unable to understand how you are transferring files to it! Can you please explain the procedure step-by-step to get files there on HDD. |
YouTube videos might be better at explaining than I am. But in short: download syncthing on all devices. (You may need to download fdrois first and search for syncthing there).
If you have any questions, YouTube will be the most convenient. Clear to explain and video to follow. |

Umm sees like I've used some app like "Resilio Sync" months back, but what my doubt is, okay the syncing is working fine but it is in phone's internal the_binding folder right? how will this transfer to HDD? |

Your commands from the post were incredibly helpful in enabling this feature. I’m not entirely sure how it all came together, but it did! The main issue was I was using the exfat format, and converting to the ext4 format, which was the key step in the whole process. I also recommend trying the application 'Resilio Sync.' I think you'll appreciate it for its clean interface and straightforward setup. Additionally, I’ve installed Ubuntu in a virtual machine, so I can easily access the external HDD and transfer files from PC whenever needed. Thanks a lot for your help, brother! |
Doubts!
I have a few questions regarding the project. Your assistance in answering these or updating the repository's README file would be greatly appreciated:
Can you please suggest a video/link to root the device?
Main Question: Can we charge a Pixel Device and connect to a hard disk at the same time?
Thank you for your support!
