I have ALWAYS had zero issues quickly dirty flashing the monthly PN update and vendor. But, for some reason, I just rebooted right after flashing the July PN update before reflashing TWRP. Can someone direct me to the correct process for getting twrp back on my device? I'm in the OS fine, but lost my recovery. Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
fastboot boot (TWRP RC1),

then install RC2
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shindiggity:
Sent you a PM
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] whodatfan:
I tried that and it didn't recognize the fastboot command. That's why I came here and posted. After your reassurance that I tried the correct thing, I went back to my command prompt window and saw that I had misspelled "fastboot" as fasboot. I re-ran the command and it went fine. DERP :p
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Ha! I've been there bro!

Glad you got it working homie!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cheerup38:
Just reading back on some of the comments....So is the USB file transfer issue kernel related? Some people flashed ElementalX and the issue is still occurring?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
Yes, it's kernel related and I'm working on it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pøîñtßlåñk:
Hey if i can help just shout i'm glad this issue is being looked into. I'm performing a fresh install right now just to make sure the bug is still there. :cowboy:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pøîñtßlåñk:
Yup the file transfer bug is real here is a screenshot of the error I get on my desktop. Haven't installed a custom kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteReign:
After reading too many problems. Is there an easy way to use this rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ct_tec313:
Here my question to the people that OK Google is working have you tried with the screen completely off
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Correct. You need to use RC1. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rkorzuch:
Sorry for the noob question, but I installed TWRP and then wiped data and factory reset. How do you copy over Pure Nexus to the device after you wipe. I tried doing through file explorer and adb push and can't get it to work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
Hoping someone more familiar with Fastboot can help me out quick with something that's probably pretty basic.

I want to restore both of my slots to 100% stock so that I can test some things after. From my understanding flashall.bat flashes everything to the active slot but it also flashes "system_other" to the inactive slot. So you couldn't use this to flash each slot cause it would keep flashing "system other" on the inactive slot each time.

So I know there are some new fastboot commands for the Pixel so I just wanna make sure I have this correct before I do it. There is a -"-skip-secondary option" that you can add to a command which is basically telling it to NOT touch the inactive slot at all. So from my understanding I have to use the flashall command with the skip secondary option... the use the command that switches the slots... then do the flashall with skip secondary option again

Coming from Samsung devices I'm pretty new to fasboot so I am not sure how I would type it out..

Would it be "fastboot flashall --skip-secondary" or would it be "fastboot flashall--skip-secondary" (Not sure if I need the space or not before the --skip-secondary.

Those might both be incorrect? lol. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Anybody using elementalx kernal on this rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
open a command window from where the file is. (rename file to purenexus). While in twrp, type into the command window adb push purenexus.zip /sdcard . Wait a few minutes as it needs some time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndhusmc:
Yep what's up
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sslayer22:
Just wondering if it's working on the ROM. Did a search and got nothin.

If it's working then I'm def going to flash it.

Thanks

Yup it works, I'm on PN with EX 1.03 and SR2 SuperSU
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sslayer22:

Can I just say the substratum support is off the hook lol first time using this theme app and its so sick great job with this ROM guys probably best I ever used and the s.I.x theme for sub is awesome if anyone is looking for a good theme
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Dont know what it could be. Followed these directions to a T and still doesnt work from any screen for me. I have done multiple flashes......
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
This might be a dumb question, but is the setting in the Google app to work from any screen enabled? And for future reference, you don't have to rename the files like that. I just shortened them instead of finding their full names.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndhusmc:
I had some issues with my phone freezing and rebooting when I chose the highest clock for the big cluster but I reflashed elementalx with stock clock and so far so good.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sslayer22:
Alright, just flashed it with highest clock. So far so good but I'll keep that in mind if that comes up.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndhusmc:
It totally could have been something else I did. Happy modding!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sslayer22:
So under display settings the "font" and "display" sizes crash. I guess we just change DPI?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndhusmc:
That's weird I just checked mine and it changed without crashing. What version of SU are you on?

Yes, mtp file transfer does not work. Some the device appears in windows explorer, but explorer hangs when I try to see the folder. The explorer works only when the device is disconnected.

I am with elementalX kernel 1.14. tried with windows 7 and windows 10

Sent from my Pixel-XL
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
Your question doesn't make sense.

It's a kernel issue, 100%. If you're on another kernel, there's another reason at play.

I really wish people would stop commenting on it. I've already stated I'm trying to get it worked out, when I have both school, work, AND other projects.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimmmysil:
All I can say is that the problem persists even with another kernel. I used ex and kirisakura and the problem is still there. I am not whining I just wanna mention this in case it helps.

Now as for the file transfer problem people can download air Droid or xender from play store and will be able to transfer over WiFi which is way more faster than the cable connection anyway whatever they want to transfer. This is what I did, it works flawlessly and that way there will be no rush for a fix imo.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] grinchyyy:
Don't sweat it The Flash, people just don't read the thread like they should. You have lots of fans in here, and we understand.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
If MTP is broken on the July build, and nothing you are doing seems to fix it:

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend clean-flashing the June ROM if you are having these issues.
[MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] is doing everything he can to get this straightened out for you guys.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cowsquad:
Just use adb push. Problem solved

How much stuff are people cranking down via mtp..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DudeThatsErin:
I'm trying to install the newest one (July 26th) and It isn't working on my Pixel XL. The error I'm getting (no matter how many times I download it and try to flash it via TWRP) is

"Could Not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file. Error installing zip file 'purenexus.zip'

I've downloaded it 4 times now and it isn't working at all. Here are the steps I just did-

1. Downgraded from O

2. Unlocked bootloader (fastboot flashing unlock)

3. Set up the phone and got USB Debugging back

4. booted into twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img)

5. downloaded pn

6. moved pn to my device (drag and drop via Windows OS)

7. found the file in TWRP and tried to flash & got error.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm going to try and download this directly to my device at work today (which I'm about to leave for) but I wanted to post this before I left.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimmmysil:
Fast boot flash the factory 7.1.2 image and then repeat the process

Unzip and Place the factory inage zip files into your pc's adb folder

Shift + right click on the gap inside the adb folder and open cmd window

Do a device check to see if your device properly connected using the "fast boot devices" command

Then use "flash-all.bat" command to install the factory 7.1.2 image

Wait until the cmd windows tells you that you can now close that window. Your phone will restart a few times.

Then flash a permanent TWRP

1.Enable USB debugging

2.Download TWRP zip and place it in your phone

https://eu.dl.twrp.me/marlin/

3.boot into twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) when TWRP opens browse and find the TWRP zip in your phone and flash it.

And then follow pn installation.

Factory 7.1.2 july build download link for global Pixel XL:https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/marlin-njh47d-factory-5ba1ef91.zip

Important make sure you have adb properly installed and the correct drivers on your computer although I assume you have these correctly since you unlocked your bl and fastbooted twrp.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Shouldnt you be flashing twrp after you fast boot boot it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DudeThatsErin:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] noidea24:
Some weird

I had some really odd things happen earlier that made the phone unusable I'd like to report.

Earlier, I went to place a call, it never connected so I clicked end. However, the call didn't end, it just stayed on the call screen. I thought odd, maybe an app error, so I forced closed the dialer. Opened it back up to get the "return to call, add call, blah blah" screen. I decided to try and restart it. It got to the "powering down" pop up and stayed there for about 5 minutes, that's when I decided to force restart by holding the power.

Instead of rebooting, the phone went straight to a ram dump screen. I waited and allowed it to reboot and start up.

Once it started back up, I noticed my phone said I didn't have signal or data. I pulled down the status bar, hit the signal tile, and attempted to turn the data back on. When I did, my notification are got really weird (see attached images). I now can't access any other tiles, as soon as I pull my status bar down im stuck on the screen attached. I still tried to enable data, and when I did tap the toggle, it just turned right back off. So I tried going into settings to enable data, same thing, after a few seconds it just turned back off.

At the same time all this happened, I noticed my recent button wasn't working anymore. It recognizes the touch and haptic feedback occurs, but nothing happens. Another thing is now none of my notification pop up, no heads up or no physical notification. I'll hear and feel it vibrate, and I'll clearly have a text, but my status bar stays blank and no notification is there.

Edit:

Latest release, latest flashable SuperSU, minimal apps installed.

another edit: i tried everything to fix it without a factory flash, but nothing worked. i eventually called it quits and decided to backup everything and flash stock anyways.

as i said before, i dont get notification, so i couldnt select mtp mode. i went into settings and went to usb configuration to select mtp from there, but when i did i got a message saying "developer options not available for this user.

i ended up booting into twrp, running a adb pull /sdcard to recover my data, and im not flashing stock

MTP ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED!

Thank you so much to both [MENTION=3920982]bradhoschar[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3409536]efan0388[/MENTION] for assisting me with debugging this issue. It would not have been possible without them (well, it would have but whatever lol).

To anyone who has picked from the Pure Nexus kernel repo, I have rebased and force pushed away the problem commit while re-cherry-picking upstream to make sure everything was handled properly. So either repick all of the commits OR apply this patch via the following command:

curl https://github.com/nathanchance/android_kernel_google_marlin/commit/984335a80d3dfaeef7348a6a16279a805cc48a09.patch | git am

Here is the kernel image: http://nchancellor.net/Downloads/PureNexus/Kernels/marlin/Image.gz-dtb

You will need to flash it with fastboot:

fastboot flash kernel Image.gz-dtb

Enjoy!

Smart lock had disappeared for me. Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jk8260:
Did you turn off lock screen, remove pin or finger print, or decrypt or otherwise loosen your security settings. That will disable Smart Lock.

Flashed it with fast boot but nothing changed. I have magisk installed do u think that this might cause the issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
What issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] siheals:
Flash if you ever need any help testing stuff just let me know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimmmysil:
It doesn't work. Still I am not able to transfer files through cable even after I flashed this image via fast boot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
How exactly did you flash it. As in what was your exact command and was it successful.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blk_jack:
I run an ssh daemon on my phone and have a crontab script setup that uses rsync to sync up /sdcard/ with a directory on my PC. Probably overkill but I have it run at 5am if my phone is on the same network.

I have a lot of backups in general so it's just one more and not a big deal to have running.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimmmysil:
Copied the image inside the adb folder

Then I opened cmd, gave the command flash mentioned in his post and I got the message that boot image was successfully flashed but still can't transfer files through cable.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Here's a DUMB question.

Did you switch from 'charging' to 'file transfer' in the notification area?

Try a different cable?

Are you on the July or June build?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Almaretto:
My wifi calling does not appear to be working. I have great service, but people cannot hear me and I have to go outside to connect to cellular network. Is there a trick to getting it to work?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalosada:
I had magisk and elementalX kernel. I run the command "fastboot flash kernel Image.gz-dtb" as mentioned by The Flash and then reapply the ElementalX kernal from recovery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
Flashing ElementalX overrides the kernel I provided lol, you just completely negated the first flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalosada:
That's really funny and stupidity by me. But thought I need elementalX for magisk. Surprisingly, now MTP works! I don't know this stuff, my head sometimes just spin and try to apply the fix whatever can be grabbed! Ok, if I find issue again with MTP will apply the patch again. THANKS.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteReign:
Wow great rom. Installed with no issues I love it thank you!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimmmysil:
that kernel image tho for me didn't worked. Is there anyone who flashed it and works?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
You're the only one who has reported it isn't working. I've had about five people say it's fixed. I don't know what to tell you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimmmysil:
1 ofc i did changed that :)

2 no i have only this cable but it works great on other roms

3 on july build
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I'm gonna assume you have twrp and flashed roms on the pixel before

Factory reset

Flash rom

Flash twrp

Boot into system.

If you want root you can boot back into recovery and flash su or magisk (for the pixel) but if you flash magisk you have to flash twrp again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
Yes i have, on Pure Pixel :)

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Factory reset is all you need.

Had my Pixel since released and I've been flashing roms since we could flash roms and never once done more than a factory reset for a clean flash. No system wipes, no SD card wipes. Factory wipes cache and data. All you need.
