Flashing Custom Roms from A10; Bootloop - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've been trying to flash /e/ or carbonOS with no success. I flashed the stock OS (Newest Android 10), booted, configured, and enabled USB debug, rebooted to recovery, booted into twrp (3.3.0), installed twrp, rebooted into the installed twrp; this is where my first problem is, I cannot mount /system. I can wipe it. Once I format everything and try installing either /e/ or CarbonOS; neither boot. Once I reboot out of twrp, I get the error that says there is no OS installed.
I know I'm doing something worng, so any help is appreciated
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? and is there a fix for this issue?
Thanks
Will

I believe issue is because carbon is for pie not Q.

You'll have to roll back to August pie to flash any of those ROMs. There are no available 10 ROMs yet.
I'm assuming devs are waiting for a TWRP update.
Otherwise we'd see some by now

LineageOS-based roms won't boot - Firmware 4.1.0

I'm having issues with LineageOS based roms. Basically, ever since 4.1.0 was released, I haven't been able to boot anything other than OxygenOS.
The first time I flashed the 4.1.0 firmware, my OnePlus 3 bricked. I then used the unbrick tool to fix it. I then tried again, by flashing the 4.1.0 firmware, then flashing the latest LineageOS "lineage-14.1-20170316-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip". Upon reboot, the phone stays stuck at the lineageos boot animation. I can't get any logcats (adb logcat doesn't seem to work).
Things I've tried so far:
- Using TWRP 3.0.4-1
- Using TWRP 3.1.0-0
- Dirty flash
- Clean flash
- Data as both f2fs and ext4, neither works
- Tried using TWRP's "Fix Contents"
- Tried using TWRP's filesystem repair, no problems with the filesystem
I'm at a loss, no idea what to do. I really want to get back to LineageOS, but ever since that original brick, the phone hasn't been able to boot anything other than the stock ROM.
do you try download again that rom?
i had some problems with AICP, flashing last firmware+modem was solved
you can try using other base, like 4.02, or freedomOS OB12
just ideas, I don't know what's the problem :/

I don't think I screwed up anything. I had flashed multiple roms before. (LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix, AICP, FreedomOS...)
All of them worked, up until recently. When the 4.1.0 update came out, LineageOS Roms stopped booting. OxygenOS ROMS still work fine though. Flashing the OB12 firmware doesn't help.
This is the first time this has happened, I have no idea why its happening.
Do you flash SuperSU, without SuperSU mine boots fine. Without i m stuck in boot
Tried flashing SuperSU, but nothing has changed. Android still won't boot up if it is a LineageOS based ROM
go to stock recovery (oxygen os stock one)
then flash 4.1.0 with that recovery
then boot

Just did it. It didn't work, the phone gets stuck in the LineageOS Boot screen
Now, not even Android 6.0 ROMS will boot. I think some partitions are corrupted, but I'm unable to wipe them in fastboot mode.
Edit: So, finally, after 3 days, I was able to get in contact with OnePlus. OnePlus fixed the problem with the Qualcomm Tools, not entirely sure what they did, but it fixed the problem. I'm finally able to boot LineageOS!!!!

how much time do you wait because first boot does take 5 or more minutes

OnePlus said that the persist partition had been corrupted. So they re-flashed it and the phone started booting custom ROMS again. I guess the ROMS weren't booting because they got stuck waiting on the sensors. (To be completely honest, I never noticed that the sensors were broken. Since the only one I frequently use is the Gyroscope and that one was working fine)

Asus Z00A(ZE551ML) bootloops into Recovery!

Hi everyone,
I found similar threads here on the forums, but none of them solved my problem!
My Zenfone 2 (Z00A/ZEE551ML) keeps bootlooping into TWRP, the cause of this issue is when i try to flash the SuperSU v2.8 zip!
My TWRP is 3.1.1, when i flash either Lineage 14 or AOSP/XOSP it boots normally into the OS, but the moment when I install SuperSU the bootloop happens (and yes, I've tried to flash it before and after the first boot of the OS, and it didn't work for either one of these methods)! The problem is that I want to use AOSP and I need Root access, and it doesn't come Rooted out of the box, unlike Lineage. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Apparently.... my phone refuses to install TWRP 3.0.2......
I'm doing all the steps that I'm used to.... Enable Debugging on dev. options.... adb reboot fastboot.... fastboot flash recovery "TWRP 3.0.2" and it's sucessful....
However... when i try to boot into recovery, the phone goes back to fastboot (although, i can boot it to system normally).
I tried flashing 3.1.1 back again and it worked, it went back to 3.1.1 .... so I'm back at square one.

Check the following topic and download VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...signing-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606
Flash SuperSU and don't reboot yet.
Flash VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip and then reboot.
Let me now if it worked. I had the same problem after installing Magisk. Resigning the bootimage fixed the problem for me.

Infinite boot in twrp recovery mode

Hello guys.
I'm having trouble here with a friend's device.
the device simply reboots the twrp.
I already realized the flash of several rons, I also tried with the stock.
installs everything correctly, but at the time of doing the reenicialization in the system returns to twrp again.
I have already tested several versions of twrp and also did not succeed.
Has anyone ever had this problem? I'm finding it very strange, because I've been with rom for a long time and I've never had any problems like this.
What do you think it could be? and how can I resolve and re-restart correctly again?
Thank you in advance.
You flashed the stock ROM and you still have TWRP? Then something is wrong. Usually when that happens you did something wrong. So this is a good thing you are stuck in TWRP. Usually a factory reset will make it boot again. You can pull data off from TWRP before doing this (like pictures and such).
What exactly have you tried to flash (order too), and what version of TWRP are you using. The factory ROM may not have worked as well if you tried to flash the latest, without having the treble partition setup, or did not have a version of TWRP that keeps the vendor partition mounted.
We really need a few more details on what you tried to help.
If you just want to get it booting, I would try wiping everything in BluSpark's TWRP, and flash 5.1.5 OOS.

[AOSiP, Android 9] Not booting after OTA on encrypted device

I hope that someone here can help me rescue to rescue my data.
I was on the AOSiP build from september and than decided to encrypt my device. That worked perfectly. Now I wanted to install the latest update. The internal updater didn't work (just booted into TWRP recovery without further action, so I moved the update file to microsd and than updated manually by flashing the zip file via TWRP). Prior to the whole action, I updated TWRP through the app to the latest version.
Now my phone doesn't boot anymore, it is stuck in the AOSiP boot animation. Reverting to a previous TWRP version (3.2.3.2) didn't help, also flashing the september build again didn't help.
In TWRP I was unable to decrypt data, because TWRP keeps asking me for a password (but I don't remember putting a password in the first place). Therefor I switched from TWRP to OrangeFox recovery. Here decryption worked, put still after flashing the phone doesn't boot.
Anyone that has further ideas how to fix this without loosing all my data? Any help appreciated!
Have you tried installing another kernel?

No, but as my system was running before without problems I don't expect the kernel to be the problem .. Or why would that make sense?
SOLVED: I noticed that flashing the update manually didn't automatically flash Gapps right afterwards. So flashing the Gapps helped and the phone now boots normally!

Can't install any rom

Hello,
Just after unlocked the bootloader, I flashed Orange Fox recovery and tried to install the last Pixel Experience, but I was stuck on boot animation.
Same for previous Pixel Experience rom.
Then, I tried LineageOS 19.1, and successfully booter on it. But, I got screen that said "Your data may be corrupter" and can't do anything but reboot into recovery.
I'm out of option, now... Did I forgot something ?
PS: I also tried to flash Chikori Kernel but I got error "New image is larger than targeted partition"

Try to flash V12.5.3.0.QFLCNXM with Twrp/O.f (TWRP is newer than this OF.)
then
reboot Twrp/O.F
Wipe/format data type yes
reboot Twrp/O.F
Flash rom
Sometimes the flashing of the recovery ROM does not work with the Twrp/O.F in this case use Miflash with a fastboot rom.
If you're still trying to figure this one out, I think I know how to solve your issue installing LOS.
You most likely used TWRP v3.70, am I right?
You should use TWRP v3.61 coz that was the last stable version that worked, the only thing is that you might need to find another custom recovery other than the official TWRP after installing an Android 12 custom ROM like LOS 19.1.
Lineage OS has their own recovery so you'd probably need to use that if you want to update it.
Same issue with me. yesterday. Though mine is fixed.
My workaround was: I installed the official 12.5.3 MIUI using OrangeFox. After boot, I tried installing PixelExperience using Pixel recovery. There I got successfully installed a custom ROM. Alhough I am not sure if the mounting/encryption of Internal SD is the cause.
