[Pixel C Android Development] Zeplic:
So uh.. i've been trying to get root to work with the preview N on my pixel C for.. like 2 days now even skipping sleep. And your information really helped. A lot. But then .. something new happened. It would reboot, hit the "Google" screen, reboot " Google " screen, then back to the recovery. And after that, always back to the recovery.

I dont think there's anything i've done wrong. I've done exactly bit-by-bit what has been described.

Install factory image of NPC56P. Pass initial setup, turn on debug.

Fastboot mode.

Flash twrp 3.0

Button Reset into recovery

Wipe -> Format Data

Reboot -> Bootloader

flash boot-ryu-NPC56P-su-eng-r191.img

Button Reset into Recovery

Mount -> uncheck Cache (data is already checked)

from desktop computer: adb push su.img /data

i.imgur.com/mLookEw.png (new users can't post links)

Uncheck Data.

Check System.

Advanced -> File System

Delete /system/bin/recovery-install.sh (or whatever you said it was)

Back -> Reboot -> Recovery (because as you said, you cannot unmount system because of the twrp bug)

Mount -> Uncheck data,cache (i've also tried leaving it alone, no difference either way) -> Reboot -> System

Recovery bootloops.

What have i done wrong? -- My Eyes are bleeding. Please help me :crying:

praise the sun \[T]/

Scratch that.

flashing boot-ryu-NPC56P-su-nocrypt-r191.img as the kernal (letting it boot to android setup first, but not going through it) -> Button reset into recovery

Mount -> uncheck Cache -> (data is already checked? If not check it.)

adb push su.img /data

Uncheck Data.

Back

Reboot -> System -> setup

Appstore -> RootCheckerPro -> Congrats you finally did, you may now go to bed.

I skipped the deleting the sh file thing with the system mount/bug .. will that cause me future problems?

Thanks for this forum and everybody who's poured work into it.

It's hard enough setting it up and learning about it as a brand new noob. I can't imagine actually supporting your own development for such a thing. I will be back to donate at some point in the future. Much appreciated guys. Much, much appreciated. ( N is just too good with the pixel C, and i upload videos using screen capture root-only tools to upload to Youtube with flawless HD. , the N build makes this as much faster and prettier. I'm hyped to get my channel uploaded with some content again! )

To anybody who might find my own post useful: (sorry, but they restrict new users from posting direct links, so .. yeah. Deal with it and copy,paste. :good:

With that said, if anybody wants any video content made so i can make guides and save you (the developers) time, i would LOVE to do so. I love being a content creator and helping people is what i do best despite not being an actual developer. Please feel free to PM me here or email me zeplic@gmail if this would be of interest to you. I don't monetize my videos, nor do i ask for a fee. It's just something i like doing. (Content recorded from Pixel C while rooted in M with xceed while playing a pretty resource heavy game :: youtu.be/pE24hft8WaQ - No Capture Card used, but the voice over and music was added using Premier Pro after the video was recorded (which is why the commentary wasn't live, but rather an overview)
