just have to fastboot boot twrp.img to have twrp again and flash the twrp zip once there.

going from Slot A to slot B after an update doesnt cause any problems as far as i can tell, however it just means youve updated a clean install on the other slot.

it would be more beneficial (and less headaches) if you swap slots before an update so it updates on the current boot slot.

dont have to follow the steps at all, it just makes it easier to keep track of things, personally, i dont have a Slot A (slot a is empty for me, no OS installed, i deleted it before flashing everything on Slot B). im OCD like that.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

i did this on a fresh install, and my phone is still encrypted.

can you write down a step by step guide on how you have forced encryption disabled?

i found this guide online

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/disable-verity-force-encryption-pixel-xl-decrypt/

are those the steps you followed? did you flash magisk zip?

does flashing a custom kernel re-enable encryption? or is it ROM based?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fenchai:
lol This is so confusing, I did everything on your instruction and it went alright and I am running latest PN at 100% (only some google play store error at first but it updated and its back to normal)

So does it mean I have PN installed on Slot A now and my Slot B is a backup? should I erase it? is it safe? or should I leave it so?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
leave it, to check which slot is active boot to bootloader and see what slot is active.

do not erase it, the in active slot relies on the active slot for data.

when i clean flashed i erased everything on slot a and flashed onto slot b (by leaving a active) you dont have to do it, it makes no real difference.

I'm having trouble rooting. Have Verizon marlin bootloader unlocked. Installed via twrp rc1 and flashed this us zip

SR5-SuperSU-v2.78-SR5-20161130091551.zip

Seems to flash fine but booted system and supersu is not in app drawer and root checker says not properly rooted???

How can I get root to work?

Sorry for the newb question been a while since on android so I may have forgot how to do a few things.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheNewNEXUS:
Use the latest SuperSU zip btw. 2.79-SR3.

First flash ROM and TWRP.

Reboot to Recovery to flash super su.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Protibus:
I have the Pixel not the XL but mine shows certified.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] southernstyle:
If you've rooted before, you have to delete the Marlin. Fstab file from the root of your device in TWRP first. Idk if that's fixed with the updated su file, but I also still use the sr5 zip.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Not the case with 2.79 sr3.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
Guys, why are you subjecting yourselves to extra steps? Does your phone still have a crank on the side of it? Use the latest SuperSU, it installs exactly as it should.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Also it won't show in your app drawer. Go into settings and in ROM Control just below the PN settings it will be there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daneoleary:
I'm having a bit of a problem. So I installed Pure Nexus on my Pixel XL. Everything was fine. Then I added root so I could use Substratum and that's where things have been wonky.

Ever since rooting, it seems that even moderately intensive tasks make my phone reboot. Like changing Substratum themes usually causes a reboot. If too many apps are downloading at once, it'll reboot. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

For what it's worth, I'm using the Elemental X kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old_fart:
More info please. The OP asked that you don't report errors until you have done a full ( nasty ) wipe and then an install. Sometimes ( but not always ! ) you have to do the extra ( nasty ) step of formatting the data partition too !

hth.

If I want to go back to stock on this device what's the best way to do it? I know locking is out of the question but I didn't want to do that anyway.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
If you over clocked the big cluster that's why. I stopped using EX cause I was getting random reboots as well
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pTeronaut:
Go to developers.google.com and download the latest image zip for your region (V for UK, U for rest of world, I'd use the V image anyway as it breaks nothing as far as I know, and allows you to use suhide, and the UK O2 network should you ever find yourself on that side of the pond.)

Extract the zip file, hook your phone to your computer, reboot to bootloader and run flash-all.bat

I'm sure that someone will chime in if I'm wrong with any of this.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] disconnecktie:
I have the image I need already and couldn't get it to flash. It tells me not enough space or something.... I was told I might need to update fastboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Did you update it? Because that is most probably the correct answer. Link below. Also edit the bat file and remove the -w if you want to save your apps and data.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daneoleary:
When I rooted, I wanted to minimize the possibility that there be any hiccups, so I did a complete wipe. Then I flashed PN and TWRP, rebooted to OS, rebooted to TWRP, flashed TWRP again, flashed Elemental kernel, and flashed SuperSU. I'd hoped that someone else had experienced this problem and knew of the way to fix it.

Basically, doing certain tasks will cause my phone to freeze for about 10 seconds. Then the phone shuts down completely and reboots on its own. This happens when I have lots of apps running, when I've got apps installing while I'm using an app, sometimes when I change a theme, and when I try to change PN settings in the settings menu. This wasn't an issue when I was using PN without root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
You dont need the second flash of twrp. Only after flashing a rom. Kernels and stuff can be flashed without it. On my install i rooted then rebooted os. Verified root then flashed ex kernel. No issues.

Should I re-install Elemental and take the big clusters down a notch or two? Or should I switch to another kernel altogether?

Works for me after root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BeansTown106:
not many 95% of the changes are listed, new build is definetly really nice though with the added fixes/features

i havent had a chance as i dont have any miracast devices i dont think, what devices constitutes mitracast > google cast? i will get to this just need to find a way to test

ya, but then when you set up a pin or fingerprint it encrypts you again from my experience

it only works if rooted, but the rom has full support for substratum, the substratum team is working on making it rootless in the future, it shouldnt be that far out from what i have read testing seems to be going good, just a few more kinks to work out

i have seen a few people report this but i dont notice it even with screen size on the biggest lol its odd

i dont have the updated store yet so i have not seen it but will keep an eye out for it

works here it is most likely a 3rd party app
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:

Mine doesnt even show a Certification field.. Last thing I see is Play Store version.

Seems to be rolling out but not everyone has gotten it and apparently some Pixel users are getting "Uncertified". Also doesn't seem to affect anything and is for information purposes.

Ok, so which stock image do I use to go back to stock? NMF26V, NMF26U, or NMF26O? I have a device purchased straight from google and I'm located in the US. Just flashed this rom and it says I'm on the wrong vendor image and fails to activate.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
You can flash the correct vendor img nmf26v in twrp to fix the error

?Tapped from my pure pixelXl?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Instien:
Thanks for the quick response! Just to ensure this is done properly, I download the vendor img from the OP, and install it to the Vendor partition when installing through TWRP? It gives me 3 options..... Boot, System Image, and Vendor Image. I'm assuming since the file is named NMF26V_vendor.img I would select the Vendor Image partition?

Finally got my XL today, but can't seem to get root to work after doing everything else...

1. Unlocked bootloader

2. Booted into TWRP, installed TWRP 3.0.2 RC1, wiped data

3. Flashed the Pure Nexus ROM

4. Installed TWRP again, wiped dalvik and rebooted

5. Got vendor error, rebooted to recovery and flashed vendor img

6. Flashed elementalX kernel

7. Flashed SuperSU v2.79 SR3 and rebooted

Everything is just peachy except root. I don't see anything in settings about root, and Titanium Backup Pro says root access failed? Any tips/links?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stone5000556:
There's no need to wipe dalvik after step 4. Try flashing the vendor image, root, reboot to system and then go back and flash EX.

It's working fine for me on the newest build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
A few things, under Settings>Display>Display Size - Are you set to default? There are reports of users setting it to small not being able to install from the playstore. May need to wipe the cache on the playstore after you change it if its the issue. If that fixes it then just return your display size to what you had it after it installs.

The other option is to simply go to say apkmirror, download and side load it. Won't require you to change the screen size.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
Interesting that adjusting the display size would make it incompatible. I like the display set to small so I can fit more on it.

Downloaded from apkmirror and it works just fine. Thank you for that bit of info!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cowsquad:
The OP stated that users should wipe clean flash on this build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
So I'm guessing because I've never made an app but like when you download from apk mirror, sometimes the same versions of an app have different DPI options. So if the dev doesn't specify a "no DPI" version and yours it's one of the ones specifically mentioned then the playstore will deem it incompatible even though it may work (saving us from ourselves I guess).

So when we change the display size the playstore looks at the DPI and says nope you can't have it.

Also you should still get updates fine from playstore after side loading.

What version of TWRP do you have? And when you flash root it won't show up as an app it'll be a separate tab in your settings under the tab "pure Nexus settings"
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Protibus:
Make sure you use SU 2.79 SR3. That is the latest version. If you are flashing the ROM at the same time, do a full boot into the OS before going back to TWRP to flash SU. I have rooted and unrooted several times with no issue.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
So the original question states:

To which I answered that turning off the ringer (corrected from notification) can turn off the shutter sound.

Your answer was:

Telling him it can't be turned off isn't exactly correct when in fact it can be turned off, just not in the manner he was expecting (i.e. a toggle in settings).

Just because you assumed a context doesn't mean you can't at least try to be a little helpful. Rather than misleading and dismissive.. But hey what do I know, other than how to turn off the shutter sound.
