What [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] said.

Use the guide below and do #4 'keep data', then #7 or #8 to root.

[Guide] Pixel XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by Homeboy76
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] killermankrew:
My device is rooted....EXKM still may not have root access?

I just did a flash-all.bat clean install of factory image June

Installed magisk and TWRP. Rooted with magisk. Now I want a custom kernel so I downloaded ElementalX then EXKM and tried to flash with the EXKM....but I don't have the flasher option you mentioned.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Homeboy76:
Ok, try this:

- Flash the boot.img to both slots #6 in the guide

- Boot twrp.img: fastboot boot twrp.img (Replace 'twrp.img with the name of your twrp.img file).

- Do #7 A-L1a if you want to install twrp

- Do #8 A-I 1a if you do not want to install twrp.

After, you reboot the System:

- Open Magisk ==> tap Menu ==> Settings ==> Superusers

Is EX Kernel Manager showing and enabled?

If not, open Settings ==> Apps and notifications ==> tap See all ==> Scroll down to EXKM tap it ==> tap permissions

Does Permissions have 'storage' under it?

If no, tap Permissions and enable Storage.

If yes, open EXKM, Magisk should pop up stating EXKM is asking for root.

'Grant' it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] killermankrew:
Well exkm has superuser rights....can't figure it out.

Going to do factory reset.

Start from scratch.

Thanks man

Going to flash with TWRP
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] killermankrew:
Ok I feel like a dumbass..I was using a free version of EXKM

Bought the paid version this morning it flashed ElementalX no problem. Thanks for the help
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
There's no free version. There are a bunch of cracked apks floating around, but don't use them. I made it so a bunch of stuff randomly doesn't work if the APK is modified.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] killermankrew:
I need a factory pixel XL kernel any ideas?

Yeah I must've gotten some janky APK . that's a lesson learned, thank you for all the time you expand to make all this possible.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] prochargedls2:
Anybody do a good comparison of the ElementalX governor vs interactivex yet?

What about Magisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllStar5:
should i re-flash magisk via twrp?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
No need, just flash the latest EX
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] deebray36:
Quick question can i update to the newest version of your kernel without being on july update? I usually wait until ive updated the lastest security updates before i flash your kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Should be fine, there were barely any changes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Have you checked the q beta 5 changes? Does the 2.03 work with it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Is an update needed for August update or can we use the existing?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TENN3R:
You can flash the previous version just fine while waiting for the update, I've been doing this for the past 4 months or so, never had an issue :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Homeboy76:
SDK platform-tools updated to r29.0.2

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
I don't say it every release, but every few months I just have to - thank you for continuing to build the excellent ElementalX kernel!! :good: :good: :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Seconded
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Love the kernel so far however the astronomy mode doesnt appear to work when toggled in EX Kernel Manager. Turning the mode on appears to do nothing even after applying on boot. Is this bugged currently or just not supported on the Pixel XL? Using ElementalX 4.16 with EX Kernel Manager 5.20 on August 2019 update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
ElementalX 5.05 works with the new Android 10 release, it's available in EX Kernel Manager

There were no kernel changes since the last beta
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gverma1:
Hi. I am on Google store purchased (no carrier lock) international Pixel XL running stock Aug 2019 Pie ROM rooted with Magisk (latest canary build) and running EX-4.16. What would be the best method to upgrade to Android 10 to retain data and preferably root (though I can live without root also). Also, which factory image to use - .019 or .020 - Google really confused everyone with two builds for each device.

Thanks in advance.

Gaurav

Edit: version .020 worked. Used twrp 3.3.1-0 to boot twrp. Flashed after removing -w. Magisk canary latest installed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
Hadn't bought that previously because I never tweak your already great performing kernel. Dropped that coin immediately after seeing this post though. $4 is nothing compared to the number of kernels I've used over the years. Thank you so much for your hard work! :good::good:

EDIT - Updated to Q from stock P without issue. EX is installed and purring along nicely.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hfmls:
i can't install latest twrp in latest Q, how did you guys do?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
I'm a bit unique for XDA in that I only run stock + ElementalX, so I just don't install TWRP. I booted the image of 3.3.1.0 and installed the kernel, leaving the stock recovery alone. I guess you could do that with Magisk too but I don't use it any more and couldn't swear to it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] deebray36:
did you do a clean install of 10? or just flashed over p?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
Didn't have time for a clean install so I took a chance and flashed the image to update (remove -w from flash-all.bat). Surprisingly it went off without a hitch.

how can i install the .zip file? i have root, but no twrp. i needed the .img file, anyone?

in android 10.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alaadragonfire:
You can use ElementalX application, it will install the kernel automatically if you have root, no twrp needed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hfmls:
testing, and battery is pretty damn cool.

thank you very much
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alaadragonfire:
Welcome, it's a really solid and stable kernel, the developer is amazing :)

Hello, i'm new to this, can you tell me which options or how you customized it to make better battery?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sarov:
Hi. I've installed elemental x kernel via official ex kernel app and i noticed that aroma installer is not working. Also i didn't notice any difference in battery life and on the other hard higher temperatures appeared in some occasions, compared to stock kernel. Have you noticed anything similar? Thanks.

-October security update
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
This is fantastic works a treat brilliant thanks ?.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sudoxd:
I should mention this kernel is the one thing making stock Android 10 on the October Patch usable, without this kernel i get random soft reboots that never boot back up and display flickering while charging.

UPDATE 1 DAY AFTER FLASHING: i had 1 random unrecoverable reboot today, which is still far less than i had when on october patch with stock kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Hello good sir. I'm sorry to bother you and I hope you don't find this rude. I enjoyed the use of your kernels on my original Pixel XL for many years and recently upgraded to the new model. I was hoping to continue that trend and wanted to ask if you had plans to support the 4th generation? Thank you for your time and efforts.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I haven't decided yet. I've been losing money on Pixel devices for the last two years, not sure if I can afford it. It's almost $1300 for the 4 XL in Canada.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Since the kernel sources get posted do you need to buy the device to support? Apologies for my ignorance here but could we do the testing and save you the money?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
No, I do original work on the hardware and need the device in my hands.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Can't get the backlight dimmer to work. After enabling it in ex kernel manager the minimum brightness remains unchanged from stock. Running Android 10 on Oct update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shemafied:
I am currently running everything stock on my P1XL. Is there a way for me to flash this kernel without a custom recovery (since TWRP won't be released for android 10 any time soon). I do know that I can flash a custom kernel boot.img via fastboot, however I can't find the boot.img for the elementalx kernel anywhere on the kernel's website.

Any help is appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zaheen Jamil:
I have a Pixel XL too, though I'm running the evolution ROM. TWRP works but it can't decrypt your data if it's encrypted(which it is by default I'm pretty sure.) I just used a USB flash drive. It worked for me to flash my ROM, magisk, and element x.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flash713:
Super easy. Just use the EXKM app- flasher option. You won't even lose root. It will flash the kernel zip and reboot and your phone will still be rooted.

You can get a USB drive too. I paid $14 for a SanDisk 128 GB and it's great! I bought one with an old Android connection because I still use a few old phones that aren't type c and I grabbed some adapters but the adapter that comes with your pixel XL works too. Probably the best accessory to have I believe.

Maybe try this: fastboot boot twrp.img then re-flashing magisk root zip and also the installer zip for twrp and see if after that you can use the EXKM app to install kernel.

(Edit)

To me it's worth removing encryption by formatting data and flashing magisk root. Speeds things up a tad. I honestly don't believe I've had a device that was encrypted since like the Galaxy s2. Lol.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] djfeltl:
I am using a Pixel XL with the October Android 10 factory image. I have installed Magisk. Launching the app I get a pop-up saying it was granted superuser rights. However, when I have the App download and install the latest kernel, it reboots my phone into the stock recovery where is says "no command"

The replies all seem to say use TWRP, which does not exist for Android 10 yet, afaik, or to just install from the app. Is there an image I can flash from adb or am I missing something?

Also, does anyone know how to remount /system as RW in Android 10? Everything I have tried has failed. (I need to modify build.prop for wifi tethering.)

Thank you!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Fastboot twrp

Downloaded latest twrp zip from the twrp thread for the Pixel XL. I've used it countless times with Android 10. Albeit I just Fastboot the twrp zip, I don't install twrp to my phone
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zaheen Jamil:
I go a step further and install it permanently, if your phone is encrypted, it can't read your storage. I have flash drive so this is not a problem for me. If you have one, I'd say it's worth installing it so you don't have to pull out the computer each time. Just use the regular procedure, boot the image and flash the installer.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alaadragonfire:
You should choose direct install in the app not the recovery one.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hairycheez:
In EX Kernel Manager app. Go to setting then at the bottom uncheck "automatically reboot". Install the Kernel thru the app and don't reboot when it asks.

Then open Magisk and Install --> direct install. Then reboot.

K-Lapse support?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
There were no kernel changes in the December update
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Could we get klapse support? Or other features from elementalx on other devices on the Pixel XL?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I don't think so, as klapse needs to be ported to this device due to its age, and I no longer have my original pixel, my mom needed a phone so I gave it to her.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
Ok let's not jump the gun here, there are are a lot of unexplored possibilities and thanks to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for supporting this device even when not using but let's not forget mom?.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Yea. Thanks for the support. And totally understandable why klapse isn't included.

If I get bored I'll try porting it myself
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alaadragonfire:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Battery life comparable on king kernel?

I'm just trying to play around with the Pixel XL at its end of life and hopefully keep it semi-usable until I get a new phone (might be fairphone 3 if I get paid by the government in time to pre-order)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Hopefully there is wireguard too. Gonna try king kernel today

As long as your Marlin is 'rooted' with an unlocked bootloader, there is no EOL.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Sadly there is EOL for my device.

Had it charging for awhile the other day, came to grab it from it's charger and it is stuck on the battery charging screen (when it isn't booted up). I can't boot it up anymore. I can't get to the bootloader. It's dead now :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
Assuming that you already attempted the ADB method to resurrect it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gatlinnewhouse:
Yeah, I tried ADB / fastboot and got no luck
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
Final method: Wait for the battery to completely deplete on it's own and hope for the best.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] simplex19:
Anybody using Elemental on DU14? I flashed it with EXKM but the phone got into a bootloop. Had to fastboot flash my backup boot.img to get out of the loop. Was previously on the final Google update and jumped onto DU last week when it became official. While DU is smooth but the screen on battery drain seems to be noticeably higher than Google stock so I was looking at trying Elemental.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dodgexander:
Getting the same bootloops after the google image after installing on Pixel Experience.

Conflicting advice in thread, OP says its only for stock rom, yet others have been able to get it working on custom roms.

So is the kernel working on AOSP based roms or not? I'm pretty sure I've used a previous version fine, so can't understand the boot loops now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
Just noticed that my double-click-power-button to open camera is no longer working after flashing this kernel & rooting.

Is it like that for anyone else?

If not then I'll have to dig through all my recently installed apps to figure out which is causing the problem.

EDIT: I found it in settings. Didn't realize I'd turned it off. Must have been sleep walking/setting up my phone or something.

No issues here at all.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ednometry:
I didn't have that as an issue but the OP says the kernel enables support for NTFS and that has not been my experience... Connecting drives to the phone prompt for formatting and reformats to Fat32.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Marghost:
I answered to you in the root post! No problems problem for me with my new USB c key and with my PC.

Maybe try to activate devlopper mode debug USB and change the USB charging to file transfer.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] osmelvillarreal:
I know you did but the question on the other post was to see if the issue was root and the post on this one is to see if the issue was with the kernel but appreciate the input
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FU5 KONA:
The SafetyNet bypass should be automatic correct? There is not an "on/off" setting somewhere I am missing is there?

Still active after flashing the kernel on a bootloader unlocked/rooted Verizon XL

Before I try anything dangerous, I'd like to have some more information.

The following is from my Pixel XL.

BL: <deleted>

Baseband: <deleted>

Product/Variant: marlin-ROW-PVT

Serial Number: <deleted>

CPU: MSM8996SG-AB 0x10001

UFS: 128GB Toshiba

DRAM: 4096MB Samsung LDDR4

Boot-slot: a

Console: DISABLED

Secure boot: PRODUCTION

Device is LOCKED

For security reasons I've removed some data but I'm not sure if some of those deletions are needed.

My main question is: What does "Device is LOCKED" mean?

Next: What is "Console"?

Ditto "Secure boot"?

Others?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ker~Man:
Device is locked means you have yet to unlock your bootloader. Others I'm not sure of...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gone_bush:
And another question: How can I find out the stock kernel version?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
It would work on custom ROMs that don't change the kernel. If they customize the kernel, then elementalx will be incompatible.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dodgexander:
Thank you for your response, and thanks for your work too. I have used your kernel since I owned my Nexus 5 and it's always been excellent. Despite not being able to currently use it, I also paid for your app as I see it as a good way to reward you for your excellent work. I'd encourage others to do it also because it's an excellent companion to your kernel.

Is there a clear and obvious way to determine if a kernel has been customized in each AOSP based release other than just trying to use Elemental X with trial and error?

From the previous discussion some people have been able to use it and some haven't, even with the same rom release. So it would be useful if there's a way to check in advanced.

Thanks once again(y)
