Will I need to wipe my data?
Thanks in advance !

If you want step by step instructions, try these
Basically, get the May TAIMEN factory image from Google
remove the -w (or leave it in for a complete wipe/fresh install)
fastboot factory image
*(if you removed the -w, make sure the following files are on your sdcard)
fastboot the 3.2.1-2 twrp.IMG
flash 3.2.1-2 twrp.ZIP from within twrp
reboot to twrp
flash cust kernel (optional)
flash magisk
*(if you left the -w intact and wiped the device, make sure the following files are on your PC)
create a 'personal' folder within your sdcard using any root explorer app, then copy your twrp.zip, cust kernel.zip, and magisk.zip files from your PC to this 'personal' folder)
fastboot the 3.2.1-2 twrp.IMG
flash twrp.ZIP in twrp
reboot to twrp
flash cust kernel (optional)
flash magisk

Sorry My Bad @Homeboy76

Have you tried these steps below?
If you have modified a little the stock android (hosts file, root, kernel, etc.), you may experience a fail in OTA update;
If you have a bootloop/soft brick/not sure of the state of your android system;
This WILL NOT delete your data and apps. This will remove your custom kernel/root/hosts/recovery through (which is a good thing because it will be clean then).
1) Download your system image for Marlin (Pixel XL) on google website.
download the latest version
2) Unzip the file marlin-nde63v-factory-______.zip
3) Unzip inside the new directory (marlin-nde63v) the image-marlin-_____.zip
Execute fastboot commands (assuming the bin is on your PATH)
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-marlin-*.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot reboot
to add TWRP;
fastboot boot /path/to/twrp.img
then In TWRP, install twrp.zip for permanent twrp. Goodluck!

Phone now boot into fastboot but not system

Hi
I was trying to install Lineage OS on my device, but I failed, now the phone does not have TWRP anymore, and when I power up, it goes into fast boot only.
I have done quite a lot of work to save my phone, and the last thing that I did was download the stock fastboot rom and run flash_all.bat from it.
(I can not get the Miflash tool working on my PC because when I startup the program, it asks me to download 5 drivers, but it failed to download and throw me an error)

First of all - if your phone boots to fastboot, there seems to be a problem with your bootloader or kernel.
To fix that, you need to reflash aboot.img and boot.img via fastboot.
Boot.img depends on the version, you want to install. Copy both files into your fastboot folder and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img
Now your phone shouldn´t stuck @ fastboot anymore.
Ok, to save your data, you could try to boot twrp:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you´re lucky, it can decrypt your data - then you can backup data and internal storage...
If it´s not able to decrypt, you need to install twrp.
To install a fastboot rom without miflash look here
I suggest you to install caf-kernel via twrp. Sometimes your phone boots up with it - magic

Thanks, will give it a try.
Just for my knowledge, what are these boot_a and boot_b please? they relate to the two sim slot in this device?

Boot.img from fastboot rom... To be flashed in partition boot_a and boot_b. Our device is a AB-device. That means all partitions are doubled (except of data). If your system breaks, you can switch to the other slot by "fastboot set_active a" or b if you are on a.... Btw perhaps that fixes your phone too! Boot twrp and you can see which slot is active (under reboot)

can I install patched boot.zip from temporary twrp?

I have unlocked device, can I just install patched boot.zip from temporary twrp which I flash with: fastboot boot twrp.img?
