These were my steps: (Verified my boot slot is B).

flash the vendor.img to vendor_a and vendor_b.

flash bootloader to bootloader.

flash radio to modem_a and modem_b

flash boot.img to boot_a and boot_b

fastboot booted twrp.img which allowed me to access TWRP.

pushed TWRP.zip so it appears on the sd card and installed it within TWRP.

reboot to TWRP, push and flash supersu.

rebooted to recovery and allowed supersu to do its thing (it rebooted 3x, looked like a bootloop at first then booted to recovery).

reboot into recovery again and flashed WETA v2.0.

Now when I boot, it boots straight into TWRP.

Thank you that helps clear it up a bit. So my steps were correct I just didn't need to flash into slot A since my phone boots to slot B and always has. I keep checking as it says slot_B in the bootloader so when I install WETA v2.0 I choose slot B.

Currently any file I push to the sd card ends up disappearing after I reboot into recovery...not sure if that matters.

I feel like I'm missing something here and I don't know what it is. I have tried switching the order of flashing the kernel before or after TWRP and I either end up booting into TWRP or booting to a black screen with the android and a red exclamation mark.

I started by using depixel8 which wiped everything, then started trying to flash this rom following instructions. I even flashed supersu SR4 as well in the recommended order. I really just need to get something going on this phone again so I can use it.

I downloaded the 7.1.1. factory image and got it to boot finally. I am done for today and will attempt this rom install at a later date. It sounds like it'll be easier to install TWRP and Root now.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
So have you tried flashing stock NMF26O yet? A stock boot animation sound like you didn't flash vendor.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
I'm going to back track and say that you should get yourself on 7.1.1 and rooted with twrp before flashing this rom. I don't have the time to spoon feed everyone. It's just easier this way.

All this rom flashes is to the system.img... Which means if you have the wrong vendor, kernel, bootloader preinstalled that doesn't match the system then. essentially that can cause issues.

And check your boot slots!

People worried about losing data.. make the most of google photos backup. And use titanium backup for all your user apps and data. Titanium can also backup sms. Once backed up, just drag the titanium folder from your phone onto your PC. You can copy it back and restore if anything goes wrong.

Another option to avoid wiping data altogether is to delete the -w in the flash-all script you are using in the stock firmware package

One thing I have noticed but did try on stock 7.1.1, I can activate Verizon wifi calling...don't know what to make of it...about to wipe data and try again
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] stompysan:
I decided to risk it and dirty-flash from 7.1. Needless to say it didn't work. Clean-flashed stock image, installed TWRP and SuperSu, flashed kernel, and finally this ROM. First boot took a bit longer than I expected, but it did work fine. Up and running using the latest build! Now to restore my TiBu backup.

Can someone PLEASE PM me the NotoColorEmoji.ttf found in /system/fonts/. Looking for the new one in the other days update to 7.1.1
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
Great ROM! No issues yet. Just wish I saved my SMS messages beforehand lol.

For those confused on how to flash. I did a fresh install and setup of 7.1.1 and then flashed vendor and then flashed the ROM.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
Clean meaning you flashed the stock 7.1.1 from then clean flashed the ROM? Or were you running the last Sets room and just clean flashed?

Edit: I got it sorry

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] are you still supporting individual mods? I'm on stock 7.1.1 will the tiles and navbar height mods work with root? or i have to flash the ROM?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
The mods really aren't on my priority as I make Roms. The mods were a band aid while none of us had twrp. A lot of people are asking for it though, so when I get some free time I may package all the mods in the rom into a zip. But they will only ever be tested for the latest release. They may or may not be backward compatible.

Also no, those mods will definitely not work on the new update.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
I'm actually having MMS delivery failure message. Idky and project Fi or Google support don't know why lol
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Also, if you are already on 7.1.1 it makes your flashing of rom very easy. Just dirty flash it, no need to wipe data
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] varun.gid:
Well i'm kind of on the edge to flash TWRP as its still in alpha and some people get stuck trying to flash lol!

One question, the mods will all work fine even if i don't flash SuperSU right? Because my banking apps and snap chat don't work with root unfortunately.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
I have project Fi and it's working for me.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Thanks for spotting that PayPal thing. Fixed
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
Idk I feel like I should have flashed something else after vendor maybe that's why it's not working.

EDIT

i wiped and restored to my back up and now mms is working just fine. guess theres something i forgot to flash after vendor?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
Probably a dumb question but when I flash 7.1.1 do I have to fast boot twrp. IMG again, then flash it in temp twrp
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
I'm on weta 1.0.1. I got the flashing procedure pretty much down but wanted to know if i flash stock NMF26O image do i need to flash vendor too?.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
I never got my MMS to work after flashing. So I flashed back to my back up and stayed there.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] davidisflash:
This keeps happening whenever upgrading to a new base. I just went into recovery and flashed the bootloader/radio/vendor img files FIRST. Then I flash this latest WETA 2.0 to slot A. Reboot. Boot loop. I can no longer get into recovery. Thankfully I can still do fastboot commands in download mode.

I don't know if it's this, but here's what I do:

1) Enter recovery

2) Flash vendor img

3) Flash bootloader img

4) Flash radio img

5) Flash Weta

6) Reboot

Is it expected that for each step above you must reset?

In fastboot I just flashed the boot img file again with flashboot flash boot <path to image>. Flashed fine. Reboot, still the same bootloop.

Why is it that whenever the base changes and I flashed the img files in recovery before the WETA update, I have to go compeltely back to factory? What am I missing?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Yeah once you go back to stock, setup twrp and root again. Then boot up and go through the setup. Then you can flash the ROM
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mocsab:
Thanks for the Rom - will be flashing shortly....
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
How are you flashing bootloader and radio in recovery? If you are flashing bootloader to boot then that's your problem.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
So you flushed the boot.img again... Did you flash twrp and root again to? Because you note have a stock kernel, which may cause problems.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pahlerc1:
Thanks dev for having a ROM with mods out already! Also love how you are active in your forum providing helpful answers trying to help individuals troubleshoot issues!

I am currently on 7.1.1 with TWRP alpha2 and SuperSU 2.78 SR5.. I saw you post that you can just dirty flash your ROM over the stock google image, which dirty flashing isn't something I typically do, but wouldn't mind giving it a go. So just go into recovery and flash ElementalX, WETA 2.0, SuperSU and reboot? No need to wipe anything? :good:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
This had gotten bit ridiculous and maybe I should do some fail safe testing and update the install instructions. I'll have something up on post #3 or 4 regarding this in a couple of hours.

And just know this. This update is a new Android version. Things have changed.. the very best solution is to flash-all the stock 7.1.1 package first.. twrp and root. Then flash rom. It's such a simple process
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
I think people are getting confused by you saying install root before weta. How can you root before flashing weta?.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] davidisflash:
Yeah I had stock kernel. No, I didn't flash twrp again. Well now I've already gone completely stock, flashed twrp and now running your latest build fine.

Latest twrp img works to temporarily give you twrp. I posted the error message I see in twrp thread with this 7.1.1 update when flashing alpha 2 zip in recovery

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

That's it. Bootloader to bootloader, radio to radio is what I did. Should bootloader be to system? The issue makes sense now. When I flashed TWRP again, you flash that to boot. I guess the boot partition stores recovery, not bootloader. A little misleading nomenclature lol.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Yeah, I did that. The question though was avoiding have to go back to stock but sounds like flashing bootloader to "boot" was the issue from what you said. I don't need to restart in between flashing each IMG file in TWRP right? Meaning, they can all be done in one session then reboot?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cambunch:
Because root is systemless on the Pixel and therefore patched into the boot image rather than the system partition. You can alter your system partition without affecting root.

Thanks Much! FTR... coming from the Verizon WETA 1.05 build using method #1 did not work for me. Stayed on the animation screen for 20 minutes. I was able to dirty flash the vendor image and WETA 1.05 to revert back. Will consider doing method #2 later this evening.

Being serious what about your MMS APN settings? Check that they are right for your carrier.

Was there an error associated with this?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
Yes I've checked and rechecked my APN settings and they were fine.

Yeah I'm on Project Fi. I've called Project Fi Support Team and Google Support Team. And neither of them knew why I wasn't receiving any MMS messages. Project Fi told me it's because I'm rooted but I'm running stock rooted and receive MMS just fine. It breaks as soon as I flash and boot your ROM. It's freaking weird.

I've even tried 3rd party messaging applications such as Textra and nothing. I just get an error message saying "MMS delivery failed. Call project Fi Support." And a bunch of random characters.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
Dirty flashed on previous stock and all is working well so far!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] davidisflash:
Excellent. Definitely adds some clarity. It doesn't call out the radio and bootloader images in the dirty flash case. Were they just not meant to be flashed in the dirty case?

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

In TWRP, you can flash teh latest SuperSU flashable zip (SR5) just fine before Weta. Worked for me today.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
You may need to format sdcard, then go through the clean install process on post #4. Boot up to stock before flashing ROM and send yourself an MMS.

I literally had to nuke my phone of all data including media to get a weird sms bug of mine to go away. Not MMS related though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
Thanks. I'll try it on my next day off. Just in case it's a process. Don't really have the time at the moment.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:

Booted to recovery and flashed rom, elementalx, and SuperSU sr5.

Absolutely wonderful. Everything is working perfectly. As always.

Thanks for this rom buddy! Really appreciate all the work you've done for the pixel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] schweigster:
For the life of me I cannot get the stock images to flash. I get different errors at the beginning of the process using Mac and during the process using Windows. I flashed individual files and boot looped for a while. I finally got it working after flashing the new bootloader, radio, boot, vendor and system (it would not boot without flashing system). I then flashed Weta, supersu, twrp, and I keep getting the error: Android, process.acore keeps stopping. Does anyone know why flash-all will not work (I have Verizon pixel)? Also, waa my process correct in manually flashing stock or did I miss a step? What is causing the error? Thanks.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Yes. And I like it. I hate the white one
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Pointless. The mods won't work properly. May as well just be on stock.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
You need to flash system_other.img to get the correct odex files onto the device. That's what is causing that crash. And the only way to flash it is to do a flash-all in the stock firmware package. I've encountered errors recently like you are experiencing. All I had to do was update adb and fastboot. It's easy to update on Linux not sure about Mac and Windows. But take a look into that
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
This happened to me last night when I decided to give this ROM one last try. Phone was stuck and would only boot into twrp no matter what I did not what I flashed in twrp. Like you I kept getting error after error. I then found a way to flash stock 7.1.1.

Download 7.1.1 stock zip file and extract all the contents of that file into the root of your Minimal adb & fastboot *it should be 4 or something files altogether including another zip file (download and install if you don't have it)

Than put your phone into fastboot

Plug phone in

Execute "flash.bat"

Wait for it to finish flashing your phone.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] b00ster23:
FYI....For those interested. I used option #2 for the WETA 2.0 "upgrade". I removed the (-w) switch from the .bat file as suggested and was able to maintain all of data and apps! :) Ultimately on final boot I went back into my phone with my background and profit!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] schweigster:
Thanks I'll give that a go. Hopefully it is that simple. I am using minimal adb/fastboot. Perhaps it's an old edition.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] davidisflash:
Good stuff. By the way, with the latest android SDK tools, the fastboot and adb utilities have been updated such that there's now a command line option to specify which bank to set active, which one to flash, etc.

I was using this ROM with the 1.1 beta. I flashed the stock images with the December update and have not installed this ROM yet. I was waiting to see what happens with the mods. I am seeing the battery drain at twice the rate since the update as well.

I think that there is something in the Dec update (not ROM) that is causing issues for specific people, builds, apps, etc.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
It's very important that you did a clean install coming from 1.1. did you? Any battery drain will be related to bad data. I'm not getting drain.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] UK_Wildcats_Fans:

I know you can dual boot this phone..I have weta on slot a and stock on slot b so you don't need system other...and I can boot both slots at will...you just have to be sure you flash bootloader, boot, radio, system, and vendor to both slots...here's a link with new fastboot commands
