Are the ones successfully getting it going flashing the Ex kernel and SU3 at the same time or are you flashing Ex waiting for it to install the flash SU3? I've tried 3 times now and always end up with bootloops until it eventually goes to stock recovery with an error message. The first 2 times I started by using flash-all to get to stock boot image. The last time I started by fastboot flash boot_a path/to/boot.img and fastboot flash boot_b path/to/boot.img...then I ran the modded TWRP boot image and when it came up I installed Ex kernel waited for it to install, then installed SU3, then rebooted, and always get bootloops till it finally goes to stock recovery. From there I hold down volume down and hit the power button to go back to bootloader mode where I reflash the factory image and install SU3 no problem.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] siheals:
The same time, I made sure I cleared the app data and when it went to recovery I just selected reset.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] icepatie:
first boot twrp, then flash boot.img from within twrp and directly after that exkernel and supersu all without rebooting

works perfect for me
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
This might be where I'm going wrong. What do you mean flash boot.img from within TWRP?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nick80835:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I flashed the stock Oreo boot image to both boot slots and confirmed the device boots. I then booted into the modded TWRP to install your kernel and the zip installed fine, then I flashed SuperSU 2.82 SR3 and tried to boot back into system. The device got to the Google splash and just went straight to the stock android recovery screen with the warning droid. I've tried several things to try to get it to boot with EX 2.00 like not flashing SuperSU at all which helped nothing. I built a kernel myself from the marlin 8.0.0_r6 kernel source to find that AnyKernel2 installs it fine but it WILL NOT boot no matter what I do. In fact it actually behaves in a similar way to yours where it boots either into recovery or loops on and off. I hope you can figure it out, I've tried getting logs but it is proving difficult. :(

Edit: The device is booting in state orange which is normal and the boot reason is a cold boot. System time and date are set to 1970 which is unfortunate. The kernel reports that its supposed to be booting normally "[170] bootflow, default => bootmode = normal". It also states "partition_get_index: err 2 on config" as well as "partition_get_index: err 2 on bootselect" and that it cant locate the "/bootselect partition". It then loads the recovery image...

Edit2: Ah! One thing I left out, when it enters recovery and you try to mount /system it fails saying "unknown volume for path [/]"

Edit3: Ah hah! Switching the boot slot to the opposite then setting it back to the original allows the device to boot the custom kernels! It must be some sort of kernel or boot caching or a state updating issue?

I read the comments and it surprise me that it worked with me from the first attempt. I just followed the instructions and I have root with ElementalX installed, guys just use CMD reboot to bootloader, now flash boot IMG to a slot then to b slot, don't reboot stay in bootloader and fastboot boot TWRP img and install ElementalX and then install SU.. now you can reboot and you will have both working :good:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
I finally got it installed using fastboot flash boot_a path to boot.img then fastboot flash boot_b path to boot.img then installed Ex kernel then SU-3. Rebooted and it ran for a few minutes then it went back to doing a couple long slow bootloops, then it took itself back to stock recovery.

This is not about getting twrp installed, but only to install exkernel + root

I've already stated twice that I got the kernel and root installed twice but both times after a couple minutes, the phone reboots on its own and goes to the stock recovery screen.

So weirdly I installed BusyBox and then, AdAway and now I lost root somehow ??
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] icepatie:
My only app that uses root at the moment is adaway and that does not need busybox, so ill wait until everything is tested enough :D
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] piccit:
I'm guessing that's your busybox's fault, as I'm using AdAway without issue. Pretty sure you still have to make your own bind mount for AdAway with supersu in sbin mode or just let it modify /system directly, neither of which should be affecting root

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
[MENTION=272558]henk-jen[/MENTION]

I had the same thing happen. Busybox is definitely the cause. Obviously, for now I would avoid installing busybox... but you still have the twrp flashing problem...

I worked around it by using fastboot to reinstall Oreo (but removing the -w flag from the flash-all script)... that should give you a clean boot.IMG and system partition... after that I was able to use twrp and flash SuperSU and suhide again, while retaining my data...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] poolemit:
there a different busybox apps out there. which one is causing the problem?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] henk-jan:
Thanks for helping

I was not clear enough: it's either root or ElementalX. I did what suggested: flash-all repaired everything and I rooted again.

I have busybox v1.27-2-meefik installed.

I only miss ElementalX now

Regards, Henk-Jan
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Well, I have only tested 'busybox installer' from f-droid. Which is the only version of a busybox package that I'm willing to use... I don't really trust any of the busybox apps in playstore.

So I'll probably just submit a ticket on github to the author of the busybox package that I use.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] henk-jan:
Does it mean you have root and ElementalX installed?

BTW: I too have the busybox you mean installed and it's in the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox&hl=nl), the same as fdroid (https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.meefik.busybox/ )
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] piccit:
What path are you guys trying to install busybox to? Maybe try /sbin/supersu/bin or /sbin/supersu/xbin

Something is wrong, with the default kernel my little cluster idles away bit with this kernel it's at full speed all the time only the big cluster idles.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
When that happens, it's due to an app or service running wild. It is not related to the kernel.

Usually a reboot fixes it. If it persists, try to figure out what is misbehaving.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Yup. Same busybox... busybox seems fine now / working.... maybe i accidently inatalled it in the wrong lication. Idk.

I'm having the same problem now; losing root, if I install elementals kernel. Not sure what the issue is exactly, so I reverted back to stock kernel. Hmmm.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
ASFAIK, you need to install ElementalX than reinstall SuperSU right after.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Weird. The first post about installation says very explicitly to not install SuperSU, if already rooted...

I guess I'll give that a try. Thanks
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
Oh that is weird, because as soon as I installed EX, I lost root as well. After redoing it, and doing SuperSU right after, I have root and EX installed.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-android-8-oreo-root-stock-rooted-t3660591

Taken from Pixel XL forum. But under the installing kernel part, that guide specifically states to install the way I stated. Says it is very important to do it in the proper order.

For those having a bit of a difficult time trying to install EX 2.0. I uploaded the original android o boot image, just do what it says...

1. Copy the img file on the minimalADB folder (rename to boot.img) and the TWRP recovery (

https://goo.gl/xuoA1k

)

2. Reboot Pixel on Fastboot

3. Open cmd on (minimalADB)

a. Hit: "Fasboot devices" just to check

4. Hit: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

5. Hit: "Fastboot boot recovery.img" (or which name you gave to the recovery)

6. On TWRP, flash the kernel zip

7. Then flash SuperSU ( https://goo.gl/zcSdYa)

8. Reboot

If you didn't encounter any problems, you should have both EX Kernel and Root

Does this work for Verizon pixel XL. TWRP fully stock but can't find a way to root or flash TWRP on this running OREO update. And was curious if this would unlock the bootloader or if anyone knows a method or cause I'm putting in nut time on this wait idk about anyone else and if anyone has a guestimate on when they will that would be appreciated

Thanks
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
If you didn't unlock the bootloader when the phone first came out on 7.1 you're out of luck if you're on a Verizon model. If you're on a Google version it's easy to unlock the bootloader check some of the other threads for instructions.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] derekr44:
As of right now, you have to fastboot boot TWRP in order to flash anything on the Pixel/Pixel XL running Oreo. Flashable TWRP is still a work in progress for our devices.

Anybody getting any random reboots on occasion? Sometimes I'll just be watching YouTube or listening to music on YouTube via Bluetooth and it will just restart. I haven't made any modifications to kernel settings and I'm just running the 8.0 build with no other modifications. It may not be kernel related, I'm just trying to figure out the culprit.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Also, having weird audio glitches watching video, it will suddenly turn into incomprehensible static noise. A reboot fixes this, but very odd. Again, could just be an 8.0 bug but thought worth mentioning.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mattyyg:
I had some strange behaviour like this, then not too long after I started to get the microphone not ready error. Google replaced the phone under warranty due to some shoddy soldering on the audio chip. Not sure this is the same as your issue, but might be worth a 5 min chat with support.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] iainaaldrich:
I figured out what's causing the reboots, just don't know why. If you use YouTube in picture in picture and then turn off the screen, then back on, it automatically reboots. 8.0 bug?

No problem for me
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] derekr44:
Edit: I don't suppose you are using a 3rd party launcher? I regularly use Nova, and I have the reboot issue. But the problem is not there when I use Pixel Launcher.

Yup, I was using Nova Prime. Just went back to Pixel Launcher and the issue appears to have gone away. Thanks! Hopefully not an issue always because Nova rules.

TWRP flashable is in the works, I'm on Oreo.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pimpinpanther96:
Flash the rom and reboot first before flashing SuperSU to root. If you root first and then flash a rom, you would lose it.

You could downgrade by flashing a 7.1.x factory image if you wanted to, and find an old version of TWRP that is flashable. I don't think the time or effort of downgrading is worth it IMO, especially if the only reason is to have a flashable recovery.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thrgk:
Ok i if downgrade im safe to use 7.12 roms right
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pimpinpanther96:
Yes. If you go that route, be sure to back up your internal storage.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thrgk:
if im on 7.12 i should use 7.12 img and just have to flash kernel?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] henk-jan:
Yes and also immediate afterwards SU if you want to keep root
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thrgk:
Ok so just flash kernel then SuperSU for 7.12, no need for boot image
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Update!!

You will need to do the same procedure as before: flash stock boot.img, flash ElementalX, flash SuperSU (still haven't had a chance to try with Magisk)

Android 8.0.0 (Oreo)

ElementalX-P-2.01

Changes:

-September security patches
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ne0ns4l4m4nder:
Has anyone tried the new kernel update for Android O yet? Did they fix BusyBox and suhide issues?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] earthdan:
Hey thanks for this awesome kernel, been using on my pixel for the past couple days and it's been great! I also got the exkm app which is also really nice, so thanks for that too!

One question about this update though, should I flash the newest stock image just posted (the September one), then TWRP to flash kernel and su? Any way to keep data or is this a TWRP thing? Not a huge deal to restore but adds some extra time.

Anyways, pretty sure I'd be ok with the above, but just thought I'd ask. Sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

Cheers,

Dan

Edit: didn't realize I could keep data if I did the above procedure, I must have done something wrong initially. In any case, I was successful flashing elementalx 2.01, but appears that I am still stuck on the Aug 5 security patch, despite having flashed the boot.img from the September release (OPR1.170623.026, Sep 2017, Fi/Canada). Any ideas?

Edit2: Ok, got it to work, sorry about clogging my post up with what I'm sure many are thinking are noob posts!

To recap what I have done to get the security update, elemental, and supersu installed:

1) put a numbered passcode onto phone, plug phone into pc by usb, power off phone, then hold power button and volume down and wait for fastboot screen to pop up

2) open up cmd on pc and type: fastboot flash boot boot.img (from september release)

3) then type: fastboot flash system system.img (from september release, this is what I was missing before, takes a minute or two)

4) then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (modified twrp, renamed to recovery.img) to get to twrp and unlock using phone passcode

5) use twrp to install elementalx 2.01 and supersu zips, in that order. (I added both to the queue)

6) reboot phone and unlock, let phone finish updates. Should be good to go after that.

Thanks again to flar2 for this kernel!

Been having a hard time flashing this kernel since Oreo update. No matter what I did it would bootloop and end up at stock recovery. I finally got the kernel and root installed and the phone works fine for 15-30 minutes. Then it starts bootlooping and ends up at the stock recovery. It never bootloops if I only install root.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Update worked perfectly as always.

I performed a TitaniumBackup of all my user apps and user app data, synced to Google Drive, as I always do before attempting a potentially unpredictable operation.

I took the -w out of the Flash-All.bat in the full image, flashed it, booted Android O TWRP, flashed the ElementalX v2.01 and SuperSU v2.82 SR3, wiped Cache and Dalvik/ART for good measure, booted Android and everything's as expected.

The AROMA installer is supposed to be like that, this kernel lacks many features for Oreo at the moment.
