Flashable Kernels - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Just wondering if there are any flash able kernels yet since twrp is up and running?

There are three kernels that could be flashed without TWRP. Have you not checked the http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development subforum?
I'm currently using ElementalX and it's fantastic.

Hence why I asked with twrp. I am through using fastboot/adb commands to flash kernels.

Either using TWRP or fastboot the kernel gets installed the same way. What issues are you having with fastboot?

You should always flash kernels through fastboot. It is the safest way.

Damn, I guess I have been living dangerously all these years. But yes, with fastboot you know what you are doing. With a toolkit, not necessarily so.

Does anybody have a link to stock kernel .img files by any chance?

Fastboot after flashing stock boot.img to both boot a and boot b. Thrn installing twrp. then flashing su again and Then finally flashing the kernel and su again always gets me stuck in a boot loop. I have not ever since owning this phone been able to flash a kernel without getting stuck in twrp or blinking Google dots hangup. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

TWRP can flash IMG files if you select the option in the install page of TWRP.
I don't think it'll do zimages though.

It will not and dam sure do not try renaming the zimage to IMG. Bootloops will happen

Are all of these able to be installed on the Verizon Pixels?

Make sure you're flashing SR4 for root. SR3 and below do not play nice with TWRP

So, if we did flash kernel with twrp, would the entire process be-- in twrp flash kernel IMG, then reflash superSU4 then reboot?

Does TWRP work on android 7.0?

If I upgrade to 7.0 on my nexus 5x, will i be able to install twrp as i normally would through fastboot?
You need to decrypt the phone for it to work.
Hmm anyone got the 7.0 recovery? I installed it thinking it would work but I want to keep the system encrypted. Does the stock 7.0 recovery mount system? I want to mod my build.prop dpi.

Am I the only one who encounters the flasing of recovery not sticking? After system reboot, then going back to recovery, it reverts to stock.

If you decrypt it first by flashing the modified boot.img, and then flash recovery and reboot it should stick and work right? Can you kindly describe your steps?

-1 installs, but two issues if you're encrypted:
1) TWRP doesn't stick. After a restart, you won't be able to get back into TWRP and need to reflash it.
2) Installing SU via TWRP doesn't work. It runs into an error if you read the responses during the flash in TWRP.
We'll just have to be patient until the devs do their magic on the encrypted version.

If you root using phh's superuser and magisk, TWRP will stick. His solution also allows you to use Android Pay with root, albeit with a little hoop-jumping

I had the twrp not sticking issue in the past. What has worked is to boot twrp, not flash it, then flash SU. Then boot back into the bootloader and flash twrp.

Sprint Root questions and clarification

Hello XDA, I am trying to figure out all the steps to get mainly Twrp, Magisk, Viper and, Substratum working correctly without any hiccups. I have been reading the forums all day and trying to get all the files necessary to get all that working and the files to revert to stock if it doesn't work. I know after the Bootloader is unlocked I won't be able to relock it due to no Moto signed boot images. I just don't want to brick it and be here with other problems later.
So far I have done the following
1. Installed ADB and Fastboot + Drivers
2. Done everything to get the code to unlock bootloader
3. Downloaded the files to flash twrp from (https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/development/twrp-3-1-1-0-moto-z2-force-nash-t3687421)
4. Downloaded the latest stock NCX26.122-59-8 to extract the boot img and patch it with Magisk manager from (https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/to-stock-roms-t3672859)
I think I have everything I need to get it rooted. Here's where I get kinda confused. My phone (XT1789-03 Sprint) is on NCXS26.122-59-8-11 November patch (I think the S is for sprint lol). Would It be okay to flash the Magisk patched boot img from the one I downloaded after I unlock the bootloader? Is Twrp necessary? Is there anything else I need to know about? Thanks in advance.
This forum just died? What the hell noone helps anymore???
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
TWRP is official now. Download the bootable image from https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotoz2force.html and the corresponding zip. Boot to twrp and flash the zip. Flash Magisk and install what you want that needs root. Hint: I'd advise the Viper4Android from Magisk modules in the magisk app.

Do NOT flash the twrp img. "Fastboot boot imagename.img" then flash the twrp zip if you wish to have it as your recovery. You can find both on twrp.me.
This hard.. even with instructions u don't know what to flash where and what it will achieve lol. I just want unlock and root. What's the easiest way to do that on sprint z2 force?
So far I understand u need to install twrp to root with magisk, then use twrp to flash magisk Img, then boot up install magisk apk and u should be rooted. Hope I've got that all right.
But do any of the images on this site also unlock gsm on sprint or TMobile?

Not trying to be a **** here, but what exactly do you mean by imagename.img? .. the twrp.img file? and if I don't want TWRP as recovery, then are you saying that it will remain stock if I don't flash the twrp.zip file?
I recently did this on an Essential phone, and the process was: fastboot flash TWRP.img, reboot to TWRP (recovery), flash stock boot.img, then flash magisk.zip.
The last phone I rooted/rommed before that was a Nexus 6, and **** was different then.

Also, @jmagi -- you shouldn't have to manually install the magisk apk. Flashing the magisk.zip in TWRP should result in a Magisk app in your "all apps" next time you boot.

Messed up with TWRP

Hi all, got TWRP installed OK on my Pixel 2 XL, hit reboot and then it goes straight back into TWRP, but with no Touch. So, thought I could flash a new kernel (Flash?) but... no ADB! I guess the phone hasn't probably booted so ADB can't see the phone.
Any options at this point?!

If your phone boots back to bootloader on reboot, you did something wrong. Reflash system imgs and start over.
Thanks! Is that a matter of following the guides on the official google download page and getting the factory images?

Yes. If you don't want your data wiped, open the install.bat file and take off the -w.
Did you unlock your bootloader correctly? Unlock critical? I believe the pixel 2 xl is the only phone where that has to be done.
Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash recovery.img again, once your in recovery, flash the recovery.zip from your storage again, then reboot recovery.... its happened to me, usually when I switch slots, all I have to do is reflash recovery.
Also note, If I am trying to boot at that point (rather than flash a ROM), I usually just flash the kernel and magisk and I'm good to go.
Thanks all! I flashed the patched boot.img again and it seems to be working OK
OK, this whole thing is confusing me now! I get TWRP installed then I have to re-flash my boot.img before I quit TWRP (a magisk patched version of Flash) or the phone keeps booting to TWRP. Thats fine, but when I've flashed the boot.img I loose TWRP!

Yes you do loose twrp after flashing the boot.img. the reason being that stock recovery resides in the boot.img. So when you flash it, bye..bye twrp! Why not just fastboot twrp, then once in twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then flash your custom kernel(if used) then flash the magisk zip for root. :good:
Ok! So this is where I'm confused. The Flash Kernel is called boot.img? So I'm flashing it in twrp with the boot option?

No. Flash kernel is just the kernel, the boot.img is from the factory image. Flash the zip version of Flash kernel in twrp, then flash magisk.zip :good:

I keep hoping Xposed will go die in a fire. It causes more problems than it solves, to the point ROM developers will tell you not to bother reporting issues with it installed. Rovo knows his stuff, but his creation has caused more damage to custom ROM development than Cyanogenmod did in its last three years.

December update breaks magisk?

Hi all,
I've updated my 3xl to the december update like usual, flash-all.bat without -w. Afterwards, it boots fine, and in settings it clearly states that I'm running the December security patch.
However, when I boot into twrp (not installed) and flash magisk, android boots to just before asking my SIM PIN, says "Shutting Down", then reboots and gives me the message "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt." etc. inside stock recovery.
Did the December update somehow break magisk? Anyone gotten it to work? I'd rather not do a factory reset if it's not needed.
Works fine for me.
Try re-flashing the December update with the - w deleted see if it boots up. Then try flashing magdisk manually on bkth a and b partitions
Working fine for me as well.
I would try flashing the stock boot and system images to both slots. It probably won't work but worth a try before doing a factory reset.

You have a corrupt backup copy of boot.img, Magisk grabbed that and used it for root.
Flash the stock boot.img to both slots and reroot.

First off, thanks for trying to help!
Flashing the stock boot.img "solves" the problem, I can boot and use the phone like normal, but without root obviously. Using the stock boot.img inside magisk manager to patch it with 17.3 and flashing that boot image to both partitions gives me this error again. I've also tried re-applying the December update at least 3 more times, with the same result. Any other ideas?

Copy the Magisk zip to your phone.
Fastboot boot the TWRP img file, don't install it.
Use TWRP to install the Magisk zip, and you are done.

Do you have the previous version of Edge Sense Plus module installed? That sounds exactly like what happens if you install Magisk with that module still there. He put out a new one today.

Good deal. That is why I always keep a copy of the Magisk uninstaller on the phone itself. As long as I can get to BL/temp TWRP .img, the worst I am out is the time it takes me to reconfigure Magisk.

Bootloop back to twrp

Yesterday i sideloaded the December ota, today i decided im going to unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom kernel. I followed the instructions in the pined post in guides and well, now my pixel wont boot and its booting back to trwp.
What i did was boot twrp.img thru fastboot.
Once twrp booted i flashed the twrp zip, kernel and magisk beta zip.

Yesterday i sideloaded the December ota, today i decided im going to unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom kernel. I followed the instructions in the pined post in guides and well, now my pixel wont boot and its booting back to trwp.
What i did was boot twrp.img thru fastboot.
Once twrp booted i flashed the twrp zip, kernel and magisk beta zip.
How do i get out of this bootloop now?

After installing the TWRP.zip change slots in TWRP, reboot recovery and flash Magisk to the other slot, change slots back, then reboot.

When you're in TWRP go to reboot, then switch from your current slot to the other.

Be careful with that. I did it bricked the device. It was like there was no system on that slot. I thought it was hard bricked but someone else did the same thing and eventually got it to boot.

I dont know what do now, wont boot, cant enter recovery, apparently there is no system image the only thing i can do is enter fastboot. Never had this much damn trouble with rooting and installing twrp on a device.

I've been doing it all along whenever I flash anything.

You'll have to flash back to stock in fastboot.

First, have you updated your sdk platform tools with the latest fastboot and adb? That's been causing a lot of people problems if they haven't updated them. If you have I would flash the stock boot image to boot slots.
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img. and
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
If that's not enough then flash the system's image to boot slots.

How do i do this now? Flashing boot.img does nothing, phone still wont boot and hands on the boot logo. I cant enter recovery and apply from adb, nor flashing the factory image thru fastboot work, it keeps saying there isnt enough space for the .zip

Do you have the latest sdk platform tools. If not Google that, download the zip and extract it. Replace what you do have. I create a folder c:adb and put everything in that. Then set an environment variable path in Windows so fastboot and adb are available no matter what folder I'm working in.
