Hey guys!
I am trying to root my pixel. I have unlocked bootloader, booted device and checked usb debugging and set a pin for password. once i get to booting twrp to the pixel xl, it gets stuck, waited 5 mins or so and twrp wont boot. i have tried command prompt and Chainfires .img to try and get twrp to boot so i can flash recovery. It always get stuck at twrp screen. Phone hasnt been rooted yet . im on build NKG47L 7.1.2. Any ideas? Am i missing something??? phone bought from google...
You'll have to fastboot twrp, then install twrp... with twrp... yea.
I've been running into the same issue, and I'm on developer preview 3

I ran into the exact same problem but it might not be for the same reason as you. I was on Android O and downgraded to Nougat. Someone suggested that I run the flash-all.bat command and flash the stock image separately to both partitions A & B. Not really understanding the partitions I don't know why that worked but right after I did it I was able to boot into fastboot TWRP immediately --and this was after hours of trying anything and everything I could think of with nothing working.

Are you talking about Android O? I don't think TWRP works on Android O yet.

Which TWRP image are you trying to boot. I use aphla2 and it always boots right in. Maybe try a diff version to see if it works for you.

Same thing here, but i solved with update adb/fastboot at last version.

I have 7.1.2 nkg47b flashed to both slots, newest platform tools from google, issue command: fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img and it goes right in to twrp. then from temporary twrp image, I install the twrp RC1 zip for the permanent recovery. works great for me. So, maybe make sure both slots are the same, new updated adb/fastboot tools, RC1 works better that RC2 for me, do temporary by flashing the img file, then permanent install with the zip file.

I had a similar issue the other day for no apparent reason - was getting stuck on TWRP splash screen. I switched from boot slot B to slot A and it worked after that.
I unlocked and rooted my phone. I installed a custom kernel on it and i had twrp. I found the june tmobile update img and tried to put it on there to help improve signal issues with the pixel. It got stuck in the load screen with the G and wouldnt go anywhere. I found a script that would flash it without twrp and all it keeps saying anytime i try to set the active drive or run the script is that slot a and b doesnt exist. Please help!

Did you unlock critical when you unlocked your phone? If so, is your platform-tools up to date? If so, have you tried different USB A to USB C cables and ports?
Hello there,
I just bought a Razer Phone (1), and decided to install LineageOS on it. So I downloaded the system image, and tried to install it with TWRP, but twrp always failed to install Lineage. Then tried to install it with the Lineage recovery update-installer-tool. That worked very well, but after trying to install the addonsu, my Lineage told me, it was broken. Then I tried it again, but I only was able to use the broken-Lineage-recovery with following options: Try again and Factory reset. Both didn't work in any way. After tying to boot into the bootloader manually, only the white battery symbol showed up. As I read somewhere in the web, this symbol means, that the cable is somehow not the right one, but also, another cable and a battery emptying didn't work.
So I'm here: With a kinda bricked phone and no clue what to do.
I need help at this,
thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have a massive problem with my device. As soon I plug my phone to an USB cable, it immediately crashes. I could charge it when I turnt off my phone tho, but my PC would not recognise my device. I have a custom ROM installed (Havoc OS) and haven't updated it since a year. I thought there's a problem with my charging port and I went to a repair service, but the guy told me the port is fine, it must be a problem with the custom rom. Unfortunately I can't flash a stock firmware on it or reset it to fix the problem, as I cannot connect it to my PC and install TWRP. Is there anything I can do, to remove the custom rom I have installed? When I do a factory reset, it stays. I already tried to install USB drivers, root it with kingroot (it didn't work) to use flashify or something like that. I don't know what to do anymore. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Hi I have a pixel xl that I bricked. Ill give you a quick history of what I did. I had this phone rooted with magisk and on LOS and it is my backup phone that I play with. I had to send my pixel 4 xl in for a warranty exchange. So I had to use my pixel xl for a few days and I decided to return it to stock and lock the bootloader. So I did that but magisk seems to have persisted through the process of returning to stock and the phone worked fine I just got the message that the device has a different operating system installed and I still had root. Anyway I now have the pixel 5 and I was playing with my pixel and it just started boot looping and the phone gets really hot. It could just be that the hardware crapped out.
So I was able to unlock the bootloader and use fastboot to boot twrp and mount the system and I copied the twrp installer over and tried installing it. It did not work and I think i wiped out all recoveries because now when I try to boot recovery it just goes to boot the system like there is nothing there at all. Oh and I tried booting back to twrp and wiping everything. So that's where I'm at now and not sure what to try next. Do I use fastboot to boot into twrp and download the last ota file and sideload it? I'm open to any suggestions that anyone might have.
