TWRP fail please help - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

last night I was trying out a couple of roms (POSP and Nitrogenos) and along the way my phone rebooted to twrp and all my files were encrypted. I rebooted to ABC and everything seemed to be working but towards the end of restoring a google backup the camera, gboard, chrome, and google wouldn't update. got error 190
I checked my file app and all the internal storage is encrypted. No apps are installing from the play store.
I tried (twrp decrypt password) in twrp terminal but nothing changed, I removed my lock password in security and tried again but no luck.
My bootloader is unlocked and I have the latest February firmware installed.
What should I do now? Should I format data in twrp and reboot? it's probably something stupid I overlooked.
Any help would be great.

I'm a moron
I must have had 2 different ROMs installed on different slots. Data was all screwed up. Some apps worked while others didn't. Couldn't even use the camera. I wiped/decrypted with the all in one tool, booted to TWRP, ADB sideloaded stock and all is well.
I guess flashing ROMs and drinking don't mix.

[HELP THREAD] cm-14.1 on LG-G3 (Model: D8555)

I decided to update my phone from CM13 to CM14.1 the other day without having read anything about CM14 and not realising how new it was (yes I know, stupid thing to do!).
So after the update I've had nothing but problems with google services not working properly, so I uninstalled google services from the apps menu within the phone, downloaded the Android 7.1, ARM, Stock version of GAPPS from opengapps.org and booted my phone into TWRP and flashed the newest version of gapps.
This fixed the issue with google services not responding, however now none of my apps work.
Anytime I try to load an app such as facebook, email, browser. My phone will freeze for several minutes and then the app will just tell me its stopped responding.
Does anybody have any advice on what to do? (I dont care if the result is that I have to wipe the phone and lose everything on it, just want my phone to work again!)
Edit: an additional piece of info, any time I try to do something that requires root access (for example moving an app to my SD card) my phone will tell me that I don't have root access, even though I must because I'm using cyanogenmod...

Try doing a clean flash of the rom along with the respective gapps package. You have to flash the rom and gapps together. And for the root issue, you have to first turn ON root from the developer options in settings.

Hi guys, is there a way to change the carrier name? The correct name for my carrier is "telecom Italia spa", not "... Italiz spa". Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] Facebook install/upgrade under Open Beta 8 (Nougat)?

Hi,
I'm having problems installing the Facebook, Messenger, and Amazon Kindle apps from Google Play Store after switching to Open Beta 8 (Nougat) and doing a clean wipe. It basically hangs at "downloading" (doesn't download anything), then gives me the error 492. Is anybody else seeing this (or not seeing it)? Installation from Titanium backup works, but then when I try to upgrade, I get the same results.
Thanks.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I tried the all the usual clear cache/downgrade Play Store/Play Services advices. At this point I am mostly wondering if it's an issue of the Open Beta 8. I.e. do other people on that ROM see the same problem or not?

i have not had this issue when i clean flashed the beta8 build from a 100% stock setup. have you wiped data and internal storage too before installing 7.0?
stuff like this happened to me a long time ago, and it was usually caused by some data left over from a previous rom where the problematic apps had been installed

Android Auto - Something went wrong. Google play services doesn't seem to be working

I have had a problem loading Android Auto (AA) on my LG G4. I have rooted with Steadfaster's UsU and installed his Lineage 15.1 rom, opengapps nano (Sept 30) and the phone is working great. Prior to rooting the phone AA worked fine with MM 6.0. After rooting the phone, when I open the AA app on the phone I get the error "Something went wrong. Google play services doesn't seem to be working right now". The error comes up immediately and then the app closes. I tried plugged into in the car as well (Pioneer AVIC 4200 deck), but the error stops the phone when opened.
I have been through Google's forums and there have been lots of posts about this error and no real solutions for me posted. I have also tried other "fixes" I have come across, including this one - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832/. This method involves:
1. Download and install System App Remover from the Google Play Store.
2. Put your device in Airplane Mode in order to prevent auto upgrade of GPS.
3. Open System App Remover and select "System App" from the menu.
4. Find Google Play Services in the list. It should be marked "Should keep", which is a suggestion from the publisher. Select it and press "Uninstall". Ignore completion message.
5. Using Settings/Apps, verify that Google Play Services has reverted to the factory-supplied version. It should be <7. "Force Stop", "Uninstall Updates", and "Disable" buttons should no longer be grayed out.
7. Reboot device and toggle Airplane Mode off.
I followed these steps, but unfortunately stock seems to be the version that came with opengapps which is current.
I'm out of ideas with this problem and need some help. AA is a great app for me and really handy on long trips. I would like to get it running if at all possible.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Even when it sounds obvious but have you installed AA clean so without restoring data from a backup? Do you have tried to completely factory reset the phone? Do you have tried to format data in TWRP? Obviously you should have a backup of your internal storage when doing so .
You should also catch a logcat when starting the app

After rooting with UsU I followed sdembiske's recommendations for installing Lineage. This included a factory reset and formatting data with TWRP. I then installed Lineage 15.1 UsU and opengapps nano and then installed the apps I wanted. AA went on clean without restoring data. I will capture a logcat and post.

It seems definitively an issue with google play app/updates..

I have been through that forum and tried the last post just now - uninstall updates, clear cache, open AA - and I immediately get the error.
I'm thinking about doing a Titanium backup on apps and data (minus AA) then wipe, reinstall LOS 15.2, TWRP, Lineage SU, do a reboot, reinstall AA first and if it works then run Titanium restore for apps and data.
Make sense?

Well I wiped cache, Dalvik, system and then formatted data, installed the 15.1 UsU rom, then installed Gapps, rebooted to recovery and installed the Lineage addonsu. I rebooted, went through setup and the first thing I did was open the Playstore install Android Auto and run it - immediate error again. Also the addonsu did not root the phone. And to top it all I did not disable the pin code.
Back to the drawing board.

I have been beating the bushes and looking for a solution. None so far. You mention AA worked on your phone. Are you running LOS 15.1 and if no, which rom? Also re your install can you look in apps and notifications and see if the more options * is shown on the AA app. I have it, but when I select it nothing happens. My old Nexus 5 the * works and Android Auto opens no problem. LOS 7.1.2.

I run LOS 15.1 build 20181002 and at the time of installing that ROM version I used this opengapps version: open_gapps-arm64-8.1-nano-20180705.zip (download)
AA works here yes. I run it now for several days, daily, no issues here.
My version of AA is 3.7.584044 (attached: View attachment com.google.android.projection.gearhead-ffadc269cc39417e152ffcdd22183045.apk)
Not sure what you mean by "the more options *" but I've attached 2 screenshots of the app settings which may show what you meant.. if not show a pic of that setting.
oh you may meant the gear symbol at the top right? Here it opens fine but as that opens google stuff it makes sense that it fails on yours

Isn't mine basically the same as yours, other than H815? That gear icon will not open up the more options page. On my Nexus 5 with LOS 7.1.2 it opens a page with Settings for AA ie: Limit wifi, Connected cars, phone screen settings, etc.
If not the same maybe I should run your version of LOS.

I've mentioned and linked the opengapps version, attached the AA version and mentioned the exact build for a reason yes.
The idea was that you try the exact same setup.
btw: which model do you have?

H812 on the UsU Oreo build H812 build.
So I can copy what you have, other than I'm using the H812 versus the H815 LOS rom.
Thanks steadfasterX
steadfasterX, is it necessary that I format the data when I reload this rom. Takes a long time to restore everything.

Use my latest preview version of TWRP then you can backup your data AND internal storage . you can first try without format. if you still have issues try to format it and if it doesn't fix anything you can restore by TWRP but ensure that you use build 144 or higher

OK, thanks again. Will give it a go. I have your latest TWRP, 144_g4_0.
On the positive side after all kinds of failed troubleshooting my G4 has all of a sudden decided to connect with my PC. It shows as H812 in Explorer and in Device Manager as Lemobile Android Device with Android Composite ADB Device driver. A lot easier than using Cloud.

Gave it a go, but as soon as I tapped on AA the error came up. I did format data to start from clean and used the older versions of AA and Google Play.
Update - I reinstalled all my apps via Titanium Pro (not AA) and set things up. I decided to tryy AA one more time before removing it and bingo it opened. Kinda waking on broken glass here and unsure whether or not the app will continue to function. Hooefully this fixed things.
Thanks again steadfasterX.

Magisk No root prompts

^title, I haven't done anything new and all of the sudden today my magisksu will not prompt when apps request root with the log only saying superuser denied. I googled it and found posts dating back to 2017 about issues with this (which seems to happen 100% of the time when I have issues). I've done the fixes people said worked for them (turning off adaptive battery, repackaging magisk manager, rolling back to older magisk, taking magisk manager off the optimizing battery list, installing some adb fastboot ndk module thing, reinstalling magisk, full uninstall and reinstall, reflashing /boot /system and /vendor back to factory image stock.) and no luck. Has anyone else fixed this without a factory reset/reflash? Also at the same time this issue popped up I'm also having a really annoying time getting apps to install from the play store, it'll download say for instance 2.50 MB/2.50 MB 100% and just sit there for literally minutes before the app randomly says it's installed after the screen blacks out.
Oh also I'm getting no errors at all in the magisk log even entry is an informative.
Update: I was able to get solidexplorer to request root successfully but it literally too 3 minutes of waiting for the prompt to appear. I'm also getting errors in the log "write failed with 32: broken pipe" which I also saw in that forum post from 2017.

Can you be specific?

I don't have "adwares" but I have the same issue too. Surprisingly it persists when I reverted to last known good version. Which makes everything strange.
I could not afford a clean format at the moment. But until I have the time to do it (and hopefully it goes away), any suggestions to solve this would be extremely appreciated.
I am not using Pixel 3, but I use Nokia 6. Someone told me that it's a common Nokia issue, but being brought here at a very different device forum kind of prove a point that this is a bug that has to do with Magisk, and not Nokia-specific (or device-specific as for this case (maybe)) issue.

The page didnt help with my issue unfortunately
-------------------------------
I managed to solve my issue by actually formatting everything (including data). Painful 2 hrs for me lel. Now on 6.1 Manager and 7.3 Magisk and everything works as it should.
Since I formatted data, the issue may have something to do with magisk's leftover files.
Still, the problem with 18.x and 7.0 manager will always happen if i update. Fun fact: if you play around the root settings in Magisk Mgr, you may have a luck and the root prompt will appear. Unfortunately, the root prompt will only appear for the current boot. If you reboot, the problem is there again. Use this window of freedom to grant root to your apps.

Just a thought and maybe you do it but after each update instead of just directly rerooting, run the magisk uninstaller first.
Flash update
Reboot
Boot back to bootloader
Install TWRP, your phones method
Flash Magisk uninstaller.zip
Flash custom kernel if applicable
Flash magisk.zip
Reboot

Question [SOLVED] Corrupt MIUI/Firmware, almost nothing works

Hi! I honestly don't know why this actually happened, I tried to install Shamiko module on Magisk but after I installed it, cleared Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Pay/Wallet data and restarted I got into a bootloop. I tried to flash the original boot.img from the fastboot rom through TWRP. After installing boot.img and restart my phone just showed the main screen without the lock screen or any password, no apps working, I don't have the notifications, it's all empty except for non working apps and the main screen clock. The phone is responding and the screen is working at 120hz as I can see, most of the time I had 60hz enabled but it feels really fast. I tried to boot several versions of MIUI, different v13 versions but same thing happens again and again.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention I also installed a Google Dialer Recording module in Magisk
this one: https://github.com/schr-0dinger/google_dialer_mod
If you dont have any data in your phone go ahead with fastboot ROm for a new flash. if you have data to backup you can do it via recovery also anf then afterwards continue with fastboot ROM to restore everything.
Hope it hepls
