I keep running into weird issues or bootloops trying to root this dang phone ... Using SKIPSOFT toolkit for everything.

Scenario-1: Unlocked BL, flashed TWRP and Verisign V8. Reboot into recovery - no recovery present. Flashed Google Factory image to get everything back to normal.

Scenario-2: Unlocked BL, flashed TWRP and Verisign V8, Flash Resurrection Remix. While rebooting into system, get a message that there is no OS, but still boots up into ROM. Reboot into recovery to flash SuperSU, TWRP is gone! only Custom recovery!!

Scenario-3: In continuation to Scenario-2, installed TWRP again, phone goes into TWRP Bootloop! Everytime TWRP boots up asking for password, I enter password, it reboots into TWRP again. So flash Google factory images again!!!

Scenario-4: Install everything again, reboot into recovery , flash SuperSU for root, Bootloop into RamDump!!!!!

Now I have just flashed the google factory image and locked the bootloader. I cant believe Ive given up!

This is the first time I have wasted a whole day trying to unlock/root/install a custom ROM on a phone. What am I doing wrong?????
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
Here's what works for me:

Unlock BL

Make sure I have either June or July factory images on both slots, then

fastboot boot twrp.........img (I use the RC1 image)

When in the temporary twrp, flash ROM or if you want stock OS modified just flash the twrp.....zip (I still use RC1 zip). If you flash the ROM then twrp flashes after it.

reboot to OS

then back to twrp and flash your supersu zip and (flash vendor image if your ROM and stock vendor don't match, that might only be in the Pure Nexus ROM) reboot back to OS

then back to twrp and flash your kernel if you want one.

then I do the audio package that I use

If I do it in these steps and if I have the factory images on both slots before I start, it always works for me. Hope that helps.

I'll just edit to add again: flash TWRP after the ROM not before
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ad.Shk2:
Thank you very much for the detailed response. However, since I've only had Samsung and Nexus phones for the last 10 years, this is all new to me. I find it counter intuitive and cumbersome, i guess you really do get old when you hit your thirties :)

I'll try to ask questions where i stumble and maybe you can help me out.

First, how do i flash factory images on both slots? I flashed June FIs thrice yesterday, but I'm not sure which slot they went to!

Second, When you say fastboot twrp image, what do you mean? Do i flash twrp through FB or something else? What command do i use?

Third, which slot do i install the ROM to and how do i know which slot its in?

What happened to the good old days of "flash everything and reboot" :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ad.Shk2:
I guess I'll give it another try tomorrow if i do not finalize the s8 by then, otherwise I'll have to ship it back.

But thanks a lot for the troubleshooting!!! I may bug you again in case i delve into it tomorrow.

My bootloader is unlocked. I used the unified tool to flash a permanent custom recovery twrp but my phone stays forever at the temporary twrp loading screen. Any solutions? I even downgraded to 7.1.1 june update and still nothing. Temporary twrp keeps stacking at loading screen can't go in to flash the permanent one.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Night·Fire:
I decided to try to root with Magisk with the August update, NKG47S. I keep getting an error in TWRP during the install. I've tried to sideload and push it, verified and not. I ended up going back to SuperSU without issue. I'm using the most recent auto update of the toolkit.

Pixel XL, 128GB

The steps I took, all through:

Updated to NKG47S factory image (downloaded from Google outside of tool kit)

Fresh install TWRP during each root attempt.

Attempted verified Magisk push install, received error.

Deleted files and attempted unverified Magisk push install, received error.

Deleted files and attempted Magisk sideload, received error.

Achieved root with SuperSU.

Any help would be appreciated.

toolkit has been updated for september build guys,and now rooting does work for me,,thankyou Mark,
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] danw_oz:
Was all working fine, until recently now I have to tell the toolkit that I am not running Android 8 or later (even though I am) to use this tool, otherwise it constantly in a loop downloading and verifying TWRP, an error occurred then bounces you back to the menu. This has been going on for a few weeks now. I am a subscribed user. Is this going to be fixed or is there another way to get this working without my work around?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Night·Fire:
I'm getting this issue too. I'm also getting TWRP flashing when I select "no" for running Android 8 or later. I'm also a paid user.

Any plans to update the toolkit to support the Pixel XL Android 8.1 .0 Oreo Dec 5, 2017 Security Patch Level

[IMG="Pixel XL Latest Android as of Dec 5, 2017"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--nkLFZu7PDk/WkkrS0wc8JI/AAAAAAAUu7s/lL2m7ljYfko87AGLvh_0_bCTz9UNRsccgCK8BGAs/s512/5395020779529976904%253Faccount_id%253D0[/IMG]

I purchased Ultimate, not to mention all the $10 modules i purchased for various phones. But did buy Ulti when it was first introduced even though none of my note 4 were supported but in hopes that they'd be some day. which never happened i hope that doesn't happen to the Pixel XL Verizon Android version 8.1.0 as of now.

I need a STOCK Verizon Recovery Image file. I somehow wiped my recovery while messing with my VZW Pixel XL..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sherlock5545:
How did you mess up? Verizon's XL is locked. If an Android logo with a red exclamation shows up, you have to press Power Button + Volume Up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Atlantian:
I attempted a hard reset after flashing an image. It jumped to an Android logo with a Red triangle. Similar to when there is no recovery on the device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sherlock5545:
Did you try pressing Power Button + Volume Up when on that screen?

Yes. I did.

I attempted to flash a stock google image and the process attempted to flash and it seemed to write blocks at one point (To quickly for me to read everything) And im assuming that I wiped the recovery - but didnt reflash a recovery since it is locked.

To be honest I don't actually know where the stock recovery image is in the Pixel firmware. There isn't one in the google firmware image file so I assume it has been integrated with the boot image. I don't even know if it could be flashed to a recovery partition.

If someone can help with this information or can paste the partition table for the Pixel/Pixel XL it would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
If the bootloader is locked i.e. the oem unlock toggle is greyed out in developer options then you cannot unlock the bootloader and cannot do any modifications to the device.

Thanks for the link I will add the instructions to the FAQ in post 2. I will add an automatic process in the Toolkit later to run the bootloader unlocker but I won't add the app itself to the Toolkit as they asked for it not to be redistributed.

Image backup EFS partition

Can the toolkit backup the EFS partition (with Wanam or ?)

Can this backup mmcblk0.img , basically a low level backup?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
You need root to backup the efs partition so its not possible to backup partitions until root (or twrp recovery) has been released.

Im in the process of writing an automation routine to use the toolkit to unlock the verizon/ee locked bootloaders. If anyone has a locked bootloader and wants to test it please let me know in here and I will send the file to test it. Also if anyone HAS used depixel8 can you tell me how long it took from running the file to it rebooting to the bootloader. Just trying to set an approximate time for the Toolkit to wait until giving an error message to start again.

So, is this the best way to root and install TWRP or is there another way?? been no new post here in like 2 months??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
It still works but there are other ways that do the same thing. It is your preference as to which you use.

Thanks for the reply, in your opinion which method would you recommend?? looking to unlock boot loader, root, and add TWRP.

Anyone else have a persistent crashing problem on Windows 10? The program starts, a black box pops up and immediately shuts down. Using the toolkit fix to uninstall it, then a regular reinstall fixes it for 1 more initial start before it happens again.

I believe it stems from not finding _coloursettings.log but it's there in the correct folder. The only reason I have for this assumption is that's what the repair program says right at the beginning. I've completely, totally uninstalled the program and it doesn't help.

Also, the builds database hasn't been updated in months? Am I the only one seeing that?

Hoping for some help here. I tried rooting and when i got to the twrp screen put in my pin. Apparelty it didnt like it because the files were still encrypted so I exited twrp and rebooted. Now I get to my home screen and plug in my pin, its not taking it or my fingerprint. Any thoughts?
