I would recommend starting fresh by flashing the flash-all. You may be able modify the flash-all script and remove the -w, but since your phone won't boot at all you might just have to wipe completely. Then let the it boot up and complete the setup process. Then

fastboot boot twrp.img

Flash the twrp zip

Flash the kernel

Flash magisk.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mrdope16:
well i cleanflaahed everyhing already just rom bugged coz i flashed magisk first

i hate dirty flashes.

i will wipe all partitions in twrp again

cleanflaah fw with flash all bat

boot twrp

flash twrp

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

I did everything.

I wiped all partitions from twrp

flashed stock 8.1 firmware

booted twrp

flashed twrp

reboot to recovery

flash kernel

flash magisk

now it got bootlooped... -_-
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arju:
After clean flashing you need to boot into the rom once before going back to recovery and flash the kernel+magisk. If not you'll end up in a bootloop. Did you boot into the rom once in the middle of the flashing process you describe?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] henk-jan:
Don't flash twrp, that's the problem IMO
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mrdope16:
yes sure i did

how could i move zip files without booting ?

i did everything correctly after bootloop i rebooted phone with volup and pwbrt. it booted and works like a charm

btw still getting device internal problem message and cant find dtwb or whatever its called in my firmware to fix it

You can move files from computer to phone without booting. You use adb push command while being inside twrp. Either way seems to have worked. The message you get in the beginning of each boot is normal for this kernel according to flar2.

Some options unavailable in aroma installer

My Pixel is on android 9 dp3, latest TWRP and rooted with magisk. Tried to install 4.03. The first time I was offered the simple or advanced options, the settings for the big and small speed options and then it went to install the kernel, with no other options (e.g. wake options).

It installed successfully. I purchased the download manager, thinking that's where I would tweak some other options but didn't see them there.

Reflashed the kernel, this time with no option for simple or advanced and still no other options per above.

With EX Kernel Manager version 3.61 you will see a change on the update screen.

If your phone is rooted, instead of "Express" and "Custom" you will now see "Auto Flash" and "Download Zip"

If you select "Auto Flash" it will download and directly flash the latest kernel without the need to go to recovery. Root will be preserved, as will your overclock/underclock settings.

If you select "Download Zip" it will download the AROMA installer version to be flashed in recovery.

Hello, how to use OTA updates with this kernel? Should I need to uninstall TWRP or go back to stock kernel? Or nope
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] henk-jan:
it's very simple: 1. OTA 2. ElementalX 3. TWRP 4. Magisk if you want to root

No need to go back to stock
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBirdER:
So i need always flash elementalx after every OTA?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nasedase:
Noob here, what is exactly meant by 'Flash original boot.img'? Does this mean flashing the stock pixel ROM? Is there a boot.img file that's within the elementalx .zip file? I'm using Pixeldust and keep getting bootloops after flashing the kernel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBirdER:
Flash elementalx, than again flash root, bootloops will gone
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nasedase:
bootloops still persist, it reboots to a 'RAM DUMP EXT4' screen.

I'm flashing the latest 3.09 8.1.0 .ZIP file, then I flash MAGISK 16 ZIP and get the loops.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBirdER:
Ok, ok, try to flash-all stock image to A and B partitions (or with your ROM), then flash magisk to both partitions, than flash elementalx and then again flash magisk.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nasedase:
stock image in my case would be the pixeldust rom?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBirdER:
Exactly, as I see, pixeldust rom requires to install latest stock google image. So in your case it will take much longer way.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nasedase:
didn't work unfortunately. Also latest pixeldust says it comes with the stock image so flashing it before is unnecessary.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBirdER:
well, try then on stock root

Did you mean stock google boot image or all factory image?

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] La Yung:

Yep, I tried that way without flashing SuperSU or any other root, and it boot loops. Originally I had done as Magisk instructed, flashing Magisk and then ElementalX. Then I tried my old method of flashing ElementalX, making a backup of the boot image, patching that with Magisk, and then flashing the fully patched image. I've seen other posts from people with the same issue, but no one ever got a response as to what the issue might be. I don't know anything about kernel development, but if I understand you correctly, you're saying the conflict is because the EX build for this phone is specifically for the Pixel, and the Lineage kernel is more generic? Something is getting lost that Lineage needs from its own kernel that's not in the EX one?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's exactly what I mean. I don't know for sure it's the case this time but I know for non-Google phones a kernel for stock doesn't usually work with AOSP and vice versa. I know AOSP and stock are closer on Google phones but still different enough.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pWEN:
I guess that could be it. I do have LineageOS 14.1 running with Magisk and EX on my Nexus 5... but that's obviously a different phone. Not to mention it doesn't have that a/b partition system.

Hello! I've just bought my Pixel and now want to install the best kernel in the world on it: ex kernel (I used it with my Nexus 5x earlier). But now the more I read the more I understand that there is a big chance to get a bootloop. So, if I have september's stock with Magisk, what I should do to avoid bootloops when installing kernel?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ezrem:
I've had zero problems with boot loops, but I always install Magisk on top of Pie+EX Kernel. I'm not sure what would happen if you did it the other way around, so it's probably best to remove Magisk first and then reinstall it after installing the kernel.

I've also been updating to the new OTA build every month with essentially no trouble. My process is as follows:

Save the latest EX Kernel and Magisk zips to your phone.

Download the full factory image of the build currently installed on the phone, as well as the OTA update to the next security update (if there is one newer than the phone's installed build).

Extract the full factory image, edit the .bat or .sh (depending on OS) and remove the -w (wipe) flag from the "fastboot -w update" line.

Reboot the phone into bootloader and install the factory image by running the modified script. The end result is that the phone boots into the same build it's been on, with a completely stock boot image and root partition.

ADB Sideload the new month's OTA if needed/desired. You can skip this step if you're on the latest build already. Let the phone finish applying updates, and then reboot back to the bootloader.

Boot the latest TWRP image.

Install the latest EX Kernel. Do not reboot.

Install the latest Magisk. Reboot.
