[Q] [REQ] How-to tutorial on building Android from google sources?

Hi.
I'm interested in building Android from Google sources and dropping in one the custom kernels available.
Problem is, I can't find any tutorials (or at least any valid links) to guides of this sort.
Can anyone help?

Although it's really T999_UVDLJA [the latest]... you can find the files here:

Not only was this Question put in General and not the Q&A section, it is a readily accessible answer just by doing a little searching.
Seeing as how this was your first post, I can tell that you probably skimmed the Rules when you registered. If that was the case, here they are again.

[Q] verizon m7 sense 6 update caused root failure on weaksauce plz halp me justincase

What's going on xda? I wanted to post this in the developer forum, so that possibly Ya know, a developer would see it and read it but the site said "no" so I have to post here. I had my phone rooted with weaksauce I was gonna go all out and unlock the boot loader and s-off but weaksauce made it so easy to have root access I was pretty satisfied with just that for a little while at least. Then I got an update Download from Verizon. I pressed where it said update now. I was curious. I'm sorry, anyway now I have the Verizon version of sense 6.0 and weaksauce shows me root failure when it runs. It's been like this for quite some time now and I've been searching around for any info on it but I'm the only person who has made a post about it so far. Other people also have this problem, I made a post on android forums and many others are sharing the same issue. Developers please. Let me know if you share the problem or know the solution or if you are currently working on the solution because I am getting slightly impatient. Thanks

Why not post this in Verizon HTC ONE forum? There you will receive more help.

If it was actually that simple I would have already done that. I have a VERIZON m7. Weaksauce was the only root method I tried that worked, so it's not that I'm too lazy to search around for the correct thread, it's that that correct thread doesn't exist yet so I just keep making threads on different android forums until I flood the internet with my words and someone finally notices.

Whats Going on? What is going on is that you really didnt pay attention to the rules when you joined. Had you then you would know why you cant post in the Dev forums. You would also know that had you posted this in the dev forums, it would have been deleted on site.
Now I am gonna move this to the proper device forums and advise you to take another look at the rules before you post again.

Basically, you are SOL until Firewater/Weaksauce/Towelroot is made to work on our latest OTA.
Had you run Firewater when you had root, prior to updating, you would have been able to update and retain s-off and root.
Since you didn't, you are now stuck without root until/when/if an updated method/exploit is posted.

Dude, keep moving it if it makes you feel important. The rules really are not my main concern on this site, I had a question it got answered pretty directly after about 4 useless "this has to be moved" posts now I'm going to continue to wait. You guys are like maids for this site do they pay you well? Is it just fun for you to move threads to the correct place? pretty much: LOL @ false sense of entitlement thread police

Your thread got answered after it was moved to the right place, so that mod with "a false sense of entitlement" is the only reason you got a accurate reply.
Your call, but a bit of appreciation for those who keep this site running and volunteer to help is never a bad thing. Running a site of this size is not an easy task.

Wow so let me get this straight. You come to a development sight and want to ask a question? Tthen you post in the wrong section so you get the least amount of answers. So not only does a mod come along and move it to the proper place so you have a chance of getting an answer, but tells you where you messed up instead of just deleting your post. So you proceed to call names and insult me? Then break the rules again. Well how about this. The next time you decide to insult someone you will be banned from the site and then you be stuck with what ever simple minded questions you may have. Take this as your only warning. I would normally just remove you from the site for good but I am in a good mood today so I will let this one slide.

[SOLVED] S-OFF HBOOT 2.18.001 missing files

Hey everyone,
As with every link on google related to the thread title above, I found myself with Captain_Throwback excellent guide. However, the files are missing so I can't really work my way into S-OFF my HTC EVO 4G.
Does anyone have the files so I'll be able to proceed?
Thanks in advance

bump

up

please help

oops.
I have these files uploaded on Dev-Host. Guess I need to update the links, since the servers over there deleted my files .
Working on it now. You know, it would've been more helpful if you posted about this over there . I would definitely have seen it if you did.

Considering the fact that I don't feel like registering to too many forums, I didn't feel the need to post it there. And I already saw you roaming around here, so I thought this forum was my best option
And again, many thanks for the great tutorial. I really hope it will work out

Tbh, I don't roam around the Supersonic forums too much. It's really just a coincidence I even saw your post. If you want me to see your post, posting in the thread in which I posted it (in whatever forum that is) is always the "best option."
Just FYI in case I have any other broken links .

Well, I went through the entire guide and it worked perfectly! I got S-OFF on my device AND I was able to update the phone and flash custom ROMs and whatnot. I'll play with the phone later on today.
Thanks a bunch for all your help

Is there a guide for ROMing a Pixel XL

I'm looking for a guide that can help me Root and but a custom ROM on my Pixel XL? I've tried doing it and I get stuck and BOOT loop, the whole thing is really confusting and I can't find a guide to help me get it done? can someone help? I'm old and getting stupid I guess.

Sorry, cannot help with that.

It's in the "Guides, News, and Discussion" section. If you're having difficulties finding a straight forward guide listed on XDA, perhaps it is in your best interest not to customize at the moment in case you run into an issue and then end up not having a phone for hours to days due to not being able to find an answer.
Just looking out for you.

I too could not find a guide specifically on creating a ROM for the Pixel XL. I even searched, I was going to post a link for OP. Maybe the google AOSP page might help. It sucks that CyanogenMod is no longer around. They used to have good guides.
Here is a link the the AOSP tutorial. (not pixel XL specific) https://source.android.com/source/initializing
You will also need the vendor and driver file from https://developers.google.com/android/drivers

First - make sure your bootloader is unlocked - that should be an easy enough guide to find
then TWRP
then find a rom and read through the opening post and the recent ones.
though I'm sure i've found guides in general here for the pixel.
it IS a different beast to regular though. so get familiar with the sticky guides etc on the forum pages
