No verifiedbootsigner? Then, that is expected.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
By flashing TWRP RC2 after ElementalX 1.11 you broke the boot.img signature made by ElementalX. Flash Chainfire's VerifiedBootSigner-v3.zip last, right before rebooting.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
So, these steps:

1. Boot to bootloader

2. fastboot flash bootloader N2G47O & reboot to bootloader

3. fastboot boot twrp-rc1.img

4. flash TWRP-RC2, flash SuperSU, flash EX-1.11, flash VerifiedBootSigner-v3

5. boot

Edit: Since I already had SuperSU-SR3, TWRP-RC2 and EX-1.11 installed with April bootloader I simply:

1. reboot bootloader & flashed may bootloader

2. fastboot boot twrp-rc1 & installed VerifiedBootSigner-v3

3. reboot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
The steps in your later edit is the way to go. The first sequence actually doesn't need VerifiedBootSigner-v3.zip because you're flashing ElementalX 1.11 last.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Yeah, I simply just flashed the may bootloader, booted TWRP and flashed the VerifiedBootSigner-v3 and all booted well. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chazall1:
Worked without any issue on the latest PN Rom and same set up. I had to fastboot flash bootloader_b which was my active slot.

Then fastboot boot TWRP.img to install Verv3. I had truble rembembering to boot TWRP IMG

Thank You. I have been trying to figure out the easy way just to get the bootloader updated.

I am a happy man lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
Seems like a generic workaround for all complicated flashing sequences is to flash the April bootloader to active slot (or both slots if switching slots), perform all required flashing and reboots, then flash the verified boot signer to sign the active slot boot.img and reflash the May bootloader.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JU57US:
Has anyone anyone else installed the May update OTA image from TWRP? My usual process is:

1. Boot to TWRP

2. Install OTA image, reinstall TWRP as queued zips

3. Reboot to system to finish the update.

4. Boot to TWRP

5. Install EX and reboot.

Will I just need to install Chainfire's VerifiedBootSigner-v3.zip as a third queued zip in step 2 in order to reboot to system? Or will flashing the OTA image in TWRP not work with this update?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gverma1:
Have not worked with OTA images as I work using factory images. However, the last thing you should flash before rebooting should be either Chainfire's verifiedbootsigner-v3.zip (between your steps 2 & 3 above), or EX1.11 (which you are already doing in step 5 above).

Can I run 1.11 on April firmware with no issues?

Spent the entire day yesterday trying to get May working with pixel dust ROM and verified boot signer v3 with no luck so I went back to April.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hello,

Someone said he's running 1.11 with April bootloader.

Since the boot.img signing check started with May bootloader, using either a signed or not signed boot.img on April bootloader doesn't matter...

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JU57US:
Yes, I figured and said as much. My question was centered around whether or not the full OTA image could be installed via TWRP like has been available in the past.

I tried it, and to answer that question, it's a "no" based on my experience. Queuing up 1) the OTA, 2) TWRP RC2 and then 3) VerifiedBootSigner-v3, and then rebooting, led to my Pixel XL boot looping a couple times and then booting into system with no changes applied at all.

Edit:

Okay, so for anyone else in my situation (VZW unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, EX kernel, Stock ROM) the process that worked for me for the May update was as follows:

1. Download NHG47L full factory image, TWRP RC1 image, TWRP (RC1 or RC2 preference) zip, EX 1.11 zip. First two on your PC, last two on your phone.

2. Extract the NHG47L zip and copy your adb and fastboot tools into the extracted folder. Also copy your TWRP RC1 image file into the extracted folder and rename it something easy to type, such as "TWRP-RC1.img"

3. Open flash-all.bat with a text editor such as Notepad+, and remove the "-w" in the last line to stop the batch file from wiping your phone's data upon update.

4. Open a command terminal and navigate to the extracted NHG47L folder. (I find it easier to create a new txt file within that folder, with a single line cmd.exe and then change the .txt extension to .bat. Double click that file and you're ready to go) Make sure your phone is plugged into your computer and set to "transfer files" rather than simply "usb charging". Type adb devices to make sure adb can see your phone. All good, type adb reboot bootloader and your phone should reboot to the bootloader.

5. Now type flash-all.bat and let it do its thing. It should reboot fully to the system when done, and be completely updated stock (except all your data and settings, of course). Give it a few seconds after rebooting to finish the update.

6. Set your phone back to "transfer files" rather than simply "usb charging". Then type adb reboot bootloader and, once in the bootloader again, type fastboot boot TWRP-RC1.img or whatever your file name is for the TWRP RC1 image file.

7. TWRP RC1 should boot up and prompt you for your unlock pin/pattern for decryption. If not, reboot and try again. Once booted up, click "Install" and select the TWRP-RC1 or TWRP-RC2 zip. Choose to add another zip to the queue before installing, and select the EX 1.11 zip. Then slide to install.

8. After both have been installed, reboot to system. Your Pixel XL is completely updated with TWRP and EX Kernel.

I don't seem to have touch boost or any other settings other people have mentioned. Also is there a list somewhere that describes what each setting and value actually does for us people that have no idea what they're looking at?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Eh, where are you seeing touchboost listed? That's usually only for interactive governors. And for the rest, Google is your friend.

If im not rooting my phone is tere any reason to use this over the stock kernel in Pure Nexus?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
No not really. It is negligible. Need root to set most settings and have all features
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Glsoto:
Thank yo for this good explanation. SO if I am already in Pure Nexus Custom Rom and I want to install SUpersu and then elemental kernel, could you verify that this steps are correct..??

Reboot to TWRP recovery

flash supersu and boot sign v3 zip

reboot again to TWRP recovery

Flash Elemental kernel

reboot system

DO I need to flash TWRP again with verifiedbootsigner after elemental kernel

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gverma1:
If you are already on may bootloader with working twrp, then:

Reboot to twrp

Flash supersu 2.79sr3 and boot sign v3

Reboot system (not twrp)

Reboot twrp

Flash EL1.11

Reboot system
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JU57US:
It really depends on what your needs are. One benefit of using the EX Kernel is that it masks the bootloader unlock status from SafetyNet. That's not strictly a performance reason, but a function nonetheless.

Oh crap I forgot about that. I need Android Pay!! Thank you.

My Verizon Pixel XL 128 is Rooted with the Bootloader Unlocked. I'm currently on Android 7.1.1 with ElementalX 1.11

I've not done anything lately with the signed boot image stuff. I've only been updating ElementalX via the App.

I want to upgrade to Android 7.1.2

What is the best way to do this and not lose my data and apps? Is there a way? I'm sure I could use Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro to backup the apps and data.

I usually download a factory image and use Fastboot commands. I keep reading something about a -w option.

Can someone lend me some guidance? Here is my setup:

After I`ve installed elemental Kernel in my Pixel XL,(running Pure Nexus ROM), I`ve just noticed that the min and max brightness have change. and the auto adjust brightness do not work as expected. Is there any way I can set the min and max brightness values..?? Thank you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
The -w is the wipe flag within the script. Just remove it from the script prior to upgrade and you'll be fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IlyaKol:
Didn't see this in my skimming of the last 2 pages or so.

I updated to the May OTA and started getting the random reboot (widespread issue) every 5 minutes. It was BAD. Phone was unusable. After some messing around, I decided to basically disengage ElementalX and just go back to defaults (Kernel is still installed but I'm not using a profile, setting values at boot, etc.).

Phone has only rebooted twice in the last 4-5 hours.

Anyone know what may have happened? Is this May OTA specific?

I'm on 1.11. And I was using the GlassFish 1.2 profile.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
Using an interactive governor profile for sched governor?..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IlyaKol:
I think I initially had it set to On Demand (or maybe it was "ElementalX" or whatever...but yeah, right now it's on sched and the interactive is off. Perhaps they were battling and causing each other issues...*shrugs*

I was using it the same way I used it on my N6P, and it seemed to run okay under the April OTA...but after upgrading today all hell broke loose. I've finally managed to reign it in a bit.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
Like the OP said in no uncertain terms:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IlyaKol:
Fair enough. Thanks for the info!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
None of those profiles are for the pixel devices... Probably why lmao
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IlyaKol:
Not quite accurate...or at least there is no specific terminology stating it doesn't support the Pixel XL. GlassFish specifically is 'marketed' as a multi-device governor including 5X, 6P, and I'm assuming (because the Pixel devices are not much different than those two) Pixel and Pixel XL. Obviously I haven't read every thread and every post regarding governors so maybe somewhere else on this world wide web there is info stating not to run Glassfish 1.2 on this device, but I haven't seen that.

Regardless, I ran Glassfish 1.2 on the April OTA with little to no issue. Reboot once a week and sometimes it would go a month without rebooting. I hardly even noticed the issue. I updated to May OTA and used the same Glassfish 1.2 profile and crap hit the fan. My issue had something to do with the not using 'sched' it looks like, but nothing to do with the profile. These reboots are affecting completely stock Pixel XL's so if I have one or two a month, it's just the way it is. But having 1 or 2 every 10 minutes, that's something entirely different.

Would you like a cookie?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Nah, the buttery smooth sched governor is all I need! ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
Again, GlassFish is NOT a governor. GlassFish is a settings profile for a specific governor called "interactive". 5X and 6P use this governor. However, stock Pixel / Pixel XL use a different governor called "sched". You can't apply settings from one governor to a different governor that they are not designed for and expect things to work as intended.

Hi, i have problem with exkm app not show all settings only i can see battery stats nothing else. I use paid version can someone help me. PN april, El kernel 1.11, rooted. Thank you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
EXKM doesn't have root. Go to your root app and delete EXKM, then swipe EXKM away in recent apps, and open EXKM to grant root.

Thank you very much you are right i lost root i think yesterday i had notification to update the SU after the problem came. I reflash SU 2,79 and everything is ok now. Best kernel and App.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GillRigged:
Been searching for the last hour and I can't seem to figure out what my issue is. During the first time I installed this kernel I had several options in the Aroma installer like swipe to sleep, etc but on my list two attempts I didn't have those options. I read somewhere that is due to not being rooted and to install root, boot into OS and then try again. However, this didn't work for me. I am rooted but with the latest modified version of Magisk which is also what I had the first time. Any ideas as to why this is happening to me and what I can do to resolve this?

Also, I have been using Chainfire's Live Boot for quite awhile and now that I have switched to Magisk it no longer works and says I need to have at least SuperSU 2.4 or higher OR init.d installed. Any ideas​ on how I can get Init.d installed successfully​ with the May build?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
For this device, you should use SuperSU for everything to work.

Init.d is not related to any of this. It's an old Linux thing, not needed on Android.

Do one step at a time. Install TWRP according to latest directions, make sure it works

Install SuperSU according to latest directions, make sure it works

At that point you can simply flash ElementalX in recovery. Nothing else required.

Mine said it downloaded but when I went to flash it was only 1.11 I sent the link to myself to try and download the latest again.

Question. Sometimes when I reboot it takes me back to twrp instead of just rebooting. It tries to boot my on Slot B for some reason. What is the default slot when first setting everything up? I thought it was all on slot A? Is this why my apps crash because I am on the wrong slot?

Now it won't reboot it keeps going back to TWRP. The frustrations of being rooted. I miss my unrooted Note 5 and really want the Note 8 when it comes out.
