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:
Ok. So here a shot of my confusion! The file I got from Flash is this one, flashkernel-taimen.v.2.30-boot.img. The three choices I'm being given by TWRP is boot, system or vendor?

Download the 14mb FlashKernel-Taimen-v2.30.zip instead and put it in your phone to flash from within TWRP, followed by the magisk zip

There is no solution for that. Xposed always fails SafetyNet.
Is Xposed worth having these days? Are people still actively developing useful mods?

I've had so many problems with TWRP on this phone that I don't even flash it anymore. If I need to flash a zip file I just fastboot into TWRP and flash it that way. Kind of a pain in the ass but I don't flash many zip files anyway.

No problems with TWRP here. Maybe you are flashing to the wrong slot.

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.

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

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 !
I've updated to the latest 3.2.1 twrp for our devices and it keeps rebooting into twrp even though i tell it to reboot to system. I've also updated to magisk 14.6

Fastboot the stock boot.img

Then flash magisk.zip?????

I don't necessarily know if you need to this procedure every time. However, given the fact that recovery now resides in the boot.img, I just think it's a little more prudent to start with stock kernel/recovery before trying to modify it. :good:
Tried to root Pixel XL 2 and it keeps rebooting in twrp
I am a novice at this, but first ran "twrp-3.2.1-2-taimen.img. from cmd prompt.
Then using TWRP installed " twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.2.2-0.zip" everything was fine.
Then installed "Magisk-v16.1(1610).zip" and now keeps rebooting to TWRP.
I can get to fastboot and rerun twrp-3.2.1-2-taimen.img, but then cannot find the zip files to install or flash.
any help greatly appreciated!

If your post is correct, it appears your using two different twrp's?? Anyways, lets try this. Make sure your screen lock is set to swipe or none. Then fastboot twrp 3.2.2-0.img. Once in twrp, flash the twrp 3.2.2-0 installer zip, then flash your magisk zip and see what happens. Flashing a custom kernel is also recommended after you flash the twrp.zip, and before you flash your magisk zip :good:

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???

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.

Am i missing a Kernel? If so, where is the Kernel for PDP3?
Am i missing a Patched_Boot.img? If so, where is the PDP3 Patched_Boot.img?
What is the correction instruction for gaining ROOT on PDP3?
What else may i be missing from the recipe?
I have searched and asked others via PM or in the Thread, and have received half-ass replies.... So would someone please lay it out, if not, i guess i will go back to 8.1.0....where i had ROOT, Recovery, and Viper4Android... Thank God I made a back-up....

I'm generally curious how many times, and in how many threads, you're going to ask this question.
1) Flash DP3. Let the device boot, log in, set it up, etc.. I do NOT enable a pin/pattern yet.
2) Reboot to the bootloader & fastboot TWRP.
3) Flash Magisk 16.4.
4) Boot into the system & have root.
I've done this process damn near 10x going between dp2/8.1/dp3. There is no special trick to it.

Semantics. OP's post, and general boggle, is that they cannot obtain root on DP3. My response was directly related to the OPs post, and last like 10 comments across this sub. What OP had is presently irrelevant since the current goal is to obtain root. If the OP had an additional question as to how to obtain static TWRP I would have addressed that at a later date/time or your response would have been appropriate. Perhaps I took it for granted that the OP had an understanding on how to get static TWRP but, again, the point of this thread is getting root on DP3 which my response answers & yours does not.

No, flash Magisk unless you want to try a custom kernel. If so, flash it before Magisk, flash Magisk, then reboot.
After flashing magisk, the phone will not reboot, instead keeping me in a bootloop and sending me back into TWRP. Any ideas? Im happy to go back to stock if thatll make my phone work again!

Hey,
I was installing from P (9.0 DP3)
I installed TWRP first by flashing the image and then installing the zip file on to the phone.
Next i installed magisk, the installation all went through absolutely fine.
When i hit reboot, it goes onto the white splash screen, then brings up a small progress bar that goes across. This lasts for a minute or two, then dumps me back into TWRP.
I attempted all ways listed, and i end up Booting into Stock Recovery with a corrupt message forcing me to Power Off or Factory Reset or i got stuck at the Loading "G". Ended up restoring my June 8.1.0 Back up. Thanks for trying to help... I'll wait till there is more info on the subject...

A complete wipe when going to P is the best way to ensure there are no problems but what has worked for me is after installing dp3, rebooting to fastboot, booting to TWRP and doing a factory reset in TWRP. You will not lose data but will have to set your phone up as new. Then, boot back to fastboot and following the instructions as stated in the prior posts to gain root and recovery.

Which version of TWRP are you using (twrp-3.2.1-2 is the latest)? Are you seeing errors in the twrp gui while flashing? I'm not sure what you mean by "more info on it" because it's literally just flash the Magisk zip then reboot. The only things I can think of are that you're using an older version of twrp or the magisk zip is corrupt giving you a bad install.

Yes, always using the latest TWRP Official Builds. No errors in the script. What i mean by more info, is just that, when someone posts a thread, and i see it is working for users without issue, i will take the plunge if this doesnt work this time. And im using Magisk v16.4beta...
I think i am so use to Fastboot boot TWRP3212.img, then flashing the installer and rebooting to switch slots. I'm sure i am just not following something. Do i need to reboot after flashing Installer and before flashing Magisk, or NO reboot?

Don't reboot, TWRP installer installs to both slots.
Flash installer, hit back button, find magisk.zip, flash it.

What happens when you just do this:
Get DP flashed & configured. No passwords/patterns/security features.
fastboot boot TWRP3212.img
Flash your magisk 16.4 file.
Reboot.
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
