Help: Bootloop - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone, I tried to use the Magisk method to root my Pixel 2 XL and now it is stuck in a bootloop. I can access the fastboot screen, however, whenever I choose recovery mode it just tries to boot up the phone and never actually enters recovery mode. Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
Thanks for your help!

Did you use the boot.img method or the zip method? If you used the boot.img method then it might have corrupted the RAMDISK. Try flashing the stock boot image on both slots and try again.

Perfect, I just took the factory boot image and put it in fastboot via "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now everything seems to be working again! Thank you so much!!

Your welcome though I would greatly appreciate it if you could hit that Thanks button.

Soft Bricked Oppo Find 7

Hi everyone. I bought this Find 7 today in hopes that I could get it running. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot.. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I got it to boot up following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/help/bricked-7-t2897376. Then I went to wipe it and I'm back where I started. The Msm Downloader is japanese so I don't understand what half of it means. Must have been a fluke it booted up.
I got it to boot up again. I'm not sure what I should do with it next. There is no recovery installed.
If you can get to fastboot, download a recovery, navigate to that recovery, use
fastboot flash recovery x.img
Where x is the name of the file. Hold down power and volume down until phone vibrates, and you should be in recovery

Thank you for the response. I have been trying to do that. I have the recovery.img downloaded but I can't seem to get it to my phone. I'm not all that familiar with fastboot and adb.

Which recovery are you trying to install??? OPPO stock recovery or other custom recoveries like TWRP??
By the way, as long as you can get into fastboot, everything is fixable, just a matter of how long it takes

You can place the .img file anywhere you want, but you just have to specify the path and name of the recovery image on the fastboot flash command. For example: fastboot flash recovery C:\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-find7.img (this is if you put the recovery image in the root directory of C drive)

Try: fastboot oem unlock
I don't know if this will works directly since you probably don't have the OPPO driver and i'm not sure if you need it. By the way this method will wipe everything on the phone but i assume you don't have anything on the phone yet anyway :silly:

Hello guys, I was attempting to flash TWRP and now my phone is bricked. I've been searching through the treads but I cannot find anything that can help.
My computer recognizes my phone as "fastboot nash S" Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics of the screen.
One screen says, "Start up failed: Your device didn't start up succesfully. Use the software repair assistant on computer to repair your device.
Connenct your device to your computer to get the software repair assistant."
Ap fastboot flash mode (secure)
no bootable a/b slot
fastboot reason: fall-through from normal boot mode
Flash all back to stock and try again. @joemossjr and I haven't been able to replicate that issue as of yet to TS further. We both flash all back to stock and tried both boot a and boot b flashing and have no issues.

Remove lock screen security and set it to swipe. Then boot into twrp a couple of times. If it starts working, then add your security back in.

After helping one of my friends troubleshoot this on his pixel 2 xl we came to the conclusion that twrp doesnt seem to like the phone having a saved fingerprint either. disabling the fingerprint and keeping the password works. we havent tried turning it back on after the first decrypt though, will post after further testing

so during our initial testing we had two fingerprints which seemed to upset twrp. after a successful decrypt we added one single fingerprint and now it decrypts properly
I'm getting this suddenly even though I deleted pin and fingerprints. Maybe I need to return to stock recovery again somehow? Then flash twrp all over again. Anybody know where to get stock recovery?

Thanks again Badger. It gives me "no command" with the mr. droid in surgery. Is that normal? It at least got rid of TWRP so I can try that again.

Sorry, yeah I ran fastboot flash boot boot.img, do I need to boot it like the 1st step of installing TWRP? The android symbol with the red triangle and 'no command' is what I get after trying to enter recovery after flashing stock boot (to verify stock recovery was back). I don't see stock recovery though, shows that no command and Droid red triangle instead. I'm still critical unlocked from when I fastboot flashed factory image yesterday.

Ah, now I understand. The droid dude in surgery, is the stock recovery. You have to hold power button and volume up simultaneously a couple seconds, then release volume up. It's a little tricky though. You can just fastboot twrp now if you'd like.

So turns out the problem both before and just now when I tried flashing twrp and it was still frozen.... I forgot to flash magisk after flashing the twrp installer zip :crying::crying: It was trying to run TWRP on an unrooted system. Doh! I booted twrp a 3rd time, flashed twrp installer AND magisk. Now all is working fine.
It's the little things that always mess me up :laugh:

Badger50, you've been a great help and I hope you can come thru again for me. Maybe I'm missing something but I just finished updating my Pixel 2 XL to the June update and went to boot TWRP so I can flash Magisk and install TWRP but I get to the teamwin recovery project 3.2.1-2 splash screen and it's just frozen. I never got to flash anything. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you let the OS boot up once? If so, then shut the phone off, and manually go into bootloader mode, then fastboot into twrp and try again

Recovery help!

[SOLVED]
Hello,
I am having trouble installing any custom recovery..
In fastboot mode, I open CMD and use the command "flash recovery twrp.img". All says SUCCESSFUL.
I go to reboot using volume+ and power to get into the recovery however it sends me straight to fastboot again. I've tried all available recoveries on XDA made for the SE.
Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
I have unlocked my SE successfully.
I also have no problem using MiFlash to update to the latest official MIUI.
There's a high chance I've missed something in these threads but it's hard to find specific answers.
Appreciate any answers, thank you.
