You'd be better off flashing the factory image vs the ota. Did you side load it, or try fastboot??

So you tried fastbooting the ota??? That's not gonna work. You need to download the factory image, then unzip/extract it and put all the contents in your SDK platform-tools file. Then edit and save the flash-all.bat script with the -w removed, then you should be fine :good:

Ah, now I see. In order to downgrade, you have to let your phone get wiped. So put the -w back in the flash-all script.
However, since your phone has already been wiped with unlocking_critical, might as well just flash the January update and don't edit the flash-all script. Then let your phone boot up, do a minimal setup, then go back to fastboot mode and boot twrp, then root if you want to with magisk 15.2 :good:

I hate being defeated!!!! If everything is up to date, then the only other thing I could suggest is to go into stock recovery, do a factory reset, then start over. There is also a rescue script put there if that doesn't work. I'll find the link if you need it.

[Q] TWRP

I updated the software on my DEB Nexus 7 from KOTH49H to KVT49L and now I can't install TWRP.
Are they in progress of making a new recovery img so that it works or should I revert back to KOT49H?

Do you still have root? What was the error?
There is no error it flashes TWRP and then when I boot recovery it is still stock recovery. I am unrooted.

I originally started out with PA 5.0 BETA but, then I reverted to stock to get the update. Full flash black to 4.4.2 KOT49H then I factory reset it once more to make sure everything is okay. After that I completed the setup Wizard and let all the apps update, after that was done I would reboot the tablet and then activate developer options. I flash using a batch I made that simply boots the tablet into bootloader then it uses the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-deb.img and reboots the device. Once it boots up I reboot into recovery and it shows the stock recovery instead of TWRP.

In the process of resetting back to factory, did it relock your bootloader? I ask only because some tools do this automatically. I had to ask.

Nah, I did it manually to see if locking and re-unlocking it would allow TWRP to be flashed but, that didn't work.

Welp, can you BOOT into twrp...i.e. fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-deb.img then you can root it (a suggestion to use goo was here, but forget that).
If you can boot into twrp using the above suggestion, you can at least root and get some stuff done while waiting for a fix or update or someone more knowledgeable than I to solve your issue.
The only thing I can think of is that the bootloader changed and we are back to where you started, waiting for them to update it for your bootloader.

I am browsing the root and it seems like they made a backup file that defaults it back to the original recovery. I am assuming this has something to do with Verizon because they patched a lot of stuff in the update or so it seems.

Hmm, as you probably know there is a file that is normally renamed in the process of installing recoveries to prevent that, my guess is they changed the name or location or added a new one (with a diff name) or did something with the permissions so it could not be renamed, and I'll bet if you boot into twrp and rename that file you'll be able to flash and boot into twrp, though I'd make sure the contents of that file ONLY do that one thing, and that renaming it won't cause it to boot loop.

trying to flash twrp; it just hangs!

Hi all,
*I've unlocked bootloader
* Have tried fastboot boot TWRP.img, as well as tried flashing TWRP RC1 via the Skipsoft toolkit.
Every way I've tried the phone just sits at the TWRP boot screen and doesn't allow me to go any further..
Any help here would be truly appreciated!
Cheers,
I've been having the same issue tonight. Re-flash the stock image, go through the whole setup process and make sure you add a lockscreen pin, then flash TWRP. That is what worked for me. I still can't flash a Rom though for some reason. It's driving me insane.

You're braver than me. I haven't had my Pixel XL long but this is the first phone I've ever owned where I am afraid to try and install a custom recovery and ROM. With the dual partitions and what I hear about TWRP still being buggy it just seems like Google didn't want people to run anything but pure Android on the Pixels.

Same issue here, but no solution. Adding a lockscreen pin didn't change anything for me. I just get a teamwin image but it just sits there & doesn't actually open TWRP. My bootlocker is unlocked but thats as far as I can get 7.1.2 with May security. I have tried reloading everything and followed commonly recommended steps.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I would love to get this thing rooted and get some ROM flexibility - even to just get rid of the Nav Bar ....

I have never had a problem. Make sure your using the rc1 fast boot TWRP. Should be fastboot boot twrp.img. I change file name to this or copy and paste. Then you install rc1 or rc2 zip.
I know you will have problems if you try to install the wrong file.

That strange. I just flash a factory image from Google
Set up a security pattern
Enable adb debugging
Fastboot boot twrp 3.0.2-0 rc1 IMG
Make sure it asks for your security pattern if it doesn't reboot to bootloader and fastboot twrp again, and keep repeating until it does
Install twrp 3.1.0.0 rc2 or rc1 zip
If your using may bootloader's fish VBS 6 zip
And it should stick, if you flash. Anything else that messes with boot flash that VBS zip at the end again

If you download the offiial april firmware, you can manually extract it from the .zip then you would do this command in fastboot :--------- fastboot flash bootloader PUTFILEHERE.img

Hmm, maybe this is where I've gone wrong.. I thought the need to create a security pin/pattern was only if coming from a previously rooted state, or from a custom ROM. I will try this as well and report back.. thanks!

@mazubo
You keep stating that you just flash the image. Are you flashing it from the bootloader then trying to boot to recovery?
You have to boot TWRP from your PC first. Then from TWRP you can then "flash" TWRP.
Just wanted to make sure that was a step you were taking!
Just wait. It will take little longer

Yes, I have tried fastboot to flash the TWRP img, as well as skipsofts toolkit. I guess I've been using the term "flash" for fastboot, as I haven't been able to use twrp yet.. I understand that you need to flash the TWRP img via pc and then flash the TWRP zip, then SuperSU or magisk, whatever your poison may be !

Yes, if your still on 8.1, there's no trouble with it at all. Fastboot the new twrp.img, enter twrp, flash the twrp.zip, then kernel.zip, then magisk.zip. I would, for this new update, still remove your screen lock security just to be safe. Then add it back in, and you'll be fine :good:

Go ahead if you'd like. I Was merely pointing out the safe and tested method that I, and many others use to upgrade. The P2XL is a little bit of a finicky beast. I've read too many stories over the last 3 months with bootloops and soft bricks by others doing simple flashing procedures that worked fine on other nexus devices, but crap a brick on this thing. Therefore, I don't take chances

When you restored your AquariOS, did you only restore data I hope?
Then you fastbooted the factory image correct? If so, did you fastboot it to both slots?

Did you take all the image files out of the large secondary zip file you find within the factory image file and put them individually in the platform-tools folder. Don't freak my friend, that won't help at all.

Gotchya. Ok, everything looks right. Try running it again. I've read people have had to run the script a few times to get it to work. If not, try another cable or port.

That's not weird. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. What a hard restart with the power button a few times?

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?

Flash the stock boot.img to both slots.
Reboot and check it.
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.

Thank you so much, this worked!
Instead of going back an Android version, I used this script, uninstalled all modules and re-flashed Magisk. It works perfectly now. Thanks again!

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.

The TWRP image from the official website, and then simply fastboot boot twrp.img

How can we boot the twrp from fastboot?
The one from official website doesn't support Android 10 I believe and I failed with the info says "too many links".
