Nah, if you're not having issues I wouldn't bother, and you should know if you're having issues. Just trying to help others who may find this thread, to keep them from having issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I think you have to press and hold power then tap volume up from the no command screen. Flashing the stock boot image takes you to the stock recovery. Now you would need to fastboot boot the twrp img from the boot loader.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rfranken:
in twrp reboot and choose the other slot. then reboot to system
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] illuzi0n:
yer finally takes me to stock reovery, go back to bootloader fastboot twrp.img, reboot to twrp flash rc2 and now back to square one lol. keeps restarting to twrp once i click system.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Have you tried flashing a rom, twrp, then rebooting to system?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] illuzi0n:
Bah gave up and did a full wipe and going to do a fresh start. Hopefully this fixes my issue. ElementalX kernel work with magdisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The additional features like o/I scheduler don't but the kernel flashes.

i only use elementalx kernel stock, with my own colour settings for a better look

so what kernel you use? stock ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I just use whatever is in PN, or Franco but I haven't noticed any huge differences that would cause me to suggest either one over EX

I am looking at the depixel8 website specifically for the pixel xl and it says for 7.1.1 and newer... If this is successful, then I should be able to flash TWRP, and then reboot into TWRP, flash the new rom, then the vendor image? I bought the 128 version from verizon which they had to ship to me. It didn't have any Verizon apps on it, so I thought maybe it was the googles version
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteEVO:
Make sure you are booting to the right partition, A or B
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Verizon apps don't install until you pop in a Verizon sim

If it's a Verizon model it doesn't work after 7.1. 7.1.1 isn't supported.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] a lawless a:
im up and running however i think im all screwed up. i got twrp to boot up then i flashed 7.1.2 and vendor but not the bootloader or radio or modem. cant figure that out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I don't have links but you have to fastboot flash those from the bootloader.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GRobert22:
It has a Verizon sim in it, and never installed anything. Soooo...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Lol we'll try to unlock the bootloader and see where you end up. Either it will or it won't
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mugor:
Is anyone having issues with the fingerprint reader? I have registered both of my index fingers and 9 times out of 10 it refuses to unlock the phone and usually times out at 5 tries, forcing me to press the power button which is super annoying. I read online that 7.1.2 broke the fingerprint reader for pixel and nexus devices, so I assume it's broken for us as well on PN?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
I haven't had an issue so far on latest build.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
Are we still supposed to be flashing GApps in the latest version of this ROM? It failed prior to me rebooting into recovery after PN flash, but worked after that. This is my first time flashing anything with this ROM, so I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You probably want to try the fastboot oem unlock command. If that doesn't work then it's Verizon and depixel won't either.

There is a modem contained in the rom zip?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You're over thinking it. Before it was on a base for Rogers because Rogers had additional commits for Rogers but the same information for every other carrier so it only made sense so it was the most versatile. I can only imagine it's the same situation now where there are specific changes for Verizon but the identical info for every other carrier.

Flash whatever factory image files you want. It won't really matter.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
Yeah, it was my own retardation. When I first flashed the radio.img, I flashed it to modem instead of radio.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
So... Why are we flashing radios and modems? Did I miss something?

I was on the last PN (7.1.1)

So I went full stock, 7.1.2 (didn't even remove the - w, then went PN 7.1.2

Everything is working fine for me, my signal is good, so why mess with radios and modems?

I have a GOOGLE pixel xl, (not vzw) although I am on verizon.

Edit- or is that only for people not going stock 7.1.2 first?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
People taking short cuts.

Just flash a factory image and be done with it is how I feel. Frankly you should have a factory image laying around anyway for larger releases because if you screw something up chances are you will need the whole thing or at least something out of it like a boot img

---------- Post added at 04:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

The version radio will work fine. You realize if you took the phone from someone using tmobile and put in a Verizon sim it would still work. Yes it's not the most up to date modem for Verizon but what does that mean. It's not incompatible either.

The state of the bootloader locked or unlocked and the BL file are two different things.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
You did it the 'best practice' way (I did the same). It's not required, but also not a bad idea. You have nothing more to do. :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] a lawless a:
ok so I'm confused and happy If it actually worked. I was having trouble as you all could tell. I ended up using mskips program to just go back to a stock firmware on the "...U" updated or whatever it was. once I got my phone up and running I decided to take a brake and bathe my son and chill. while I was upstairs my phone downloaded the automatic updates and my wife yelled to me telling me she updated my phone for me. I was pissed and scared I was going to loose my unlocked bootloader. I rushed down stairs and now I'm on 7.1.2 with the...k and fully stock with an unlocked bootloader. I thought if you accepted the otas you would loose unlocked bootloader?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
No that has never been the case. That would be a huge flaw because locking the bootloader would wipe the device again. That means at any given time you would end up with your device wiped. You have to externally execute the fastboot command to relock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
Thank you both, just wanted to make sure
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Doesn't really matter

You just have to match the vendor
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] a lawless a:
so then its ok to take otas if your on a unlocked bootloader with a stock firmware? I thought that was a no no! my next question is now I can I just install twrp flash PN,vendor,twrp,elemental,superuser and then be good to go with the new set up? I'm just wondering why if its not going to hurt anything I don't just go back stock then take the ota instead of flashing modems,bootloaders,radios...?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
I had the newer BL/Baseband prior to flashing this ROM. Seems to not be big deal, but what is it that actually downgraded it. Was it the ROM or Vendor Image I flashed? Previously, I had 7.1.2 stock, had never flashed anything. Also, did I need to flash Vendor Image? I wasn't sure, did it to be safe.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
Pixel (from) Google, service with VZW

Used latest

7.1.2 (NHG47K, Apr 2017, Verizon)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Once you unlock the bootloader for all intents and purposes the devices are exactly the same. Except if you every make the concious choice to lock the bootloader it won't ever unlock. Doesn't matter what firmware is on it.

That said I have a playstore device with probably the Verizon firmware but frankly I don't remember I just grabbed one, I just know it wasn't K because I needed to flash the vendor. Running just like it did before I loaded any firmware.

There is no reason you can't just stay stock.

You guys checking dates on BLs and Modems and etc are doing too much. Is it the April firmware? Yes, then flash it. Who cares if one modem is five days older than another. Chill.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You MUST FASTBOOT Modem/Bootloader/Radio.

Dude. Your bootlader will only lock IF YOU lock it..

Don't extract anything. Just flash the factory image.

Maybe this rom flashing stuff isn't for you lol

i know....after our PMs that's probably what should happen. I just need to quit being lazy and pay more attention to what I'm doing and reacquaint my self with adb and what the pixel takes to get stuff done. i have just gotten lazy since i have had a Samsung for the past couple of phones. since my og nexus. a lot has changed and with the pixels the slot a and slot b **** throws me off as well as my adb skills have gone to ****. THAT BEING SAID I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU FOLKS(XDA COMMUNITY) TO TAKE CARE OF ME!!! it never fells i always find one of you kick ass members who can talk me off the ledge.... xda is by far the best forum i have found.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Get this. So the instructions say the latest. As in AN APRIL BUILD. Doesn't matter which one. They weren't all created simultaneously. So they will have different dates. You get what I'm saying?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
It's just those of us that didn't go stock first. I did my update on the fly at work and just updated everything else when I got home and had a computer.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
So flashing the factory image with the -w switch removed takes all of 10 - 15 minutes

Then you fastboot the twrp img

Flash twrp in twrp

Factory reset

Flash PN

Flash twrp

All that takes about thirty minutes.

Internationally unlocked phones support tons of carriers. Would be silly to include the modem/radio
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
I have a VZW Pixel on VZW and used the standard Google image N2G47E.

You are way over thinking this and stressing yourself out. Deep breaths. Flash the Google image or VZW image, whichever you prefer. Just don't flash the one specifically for Rogers and you're golden.

I'm starting to think we do need a legit magisk thread.

If you don't care about Android pay or pokemon go, the dishnetwork app also then don't bother with Magisk

It's systemless root. That means just about anything that edits the system won't work for you.

It's not some magically new su if you just want root flash Super SU.

Also because of the difference in the pixel partitions the majority of modules for magisk don't work on the pixel.

Correct, and an important point to make (it is a different approach to the same basic goal of attaining root).

If you are flashing the kernel from a fresh room flash it will be:

Factory reset

Flash rom

Flash twrp

Reboot twrp

Flash su

Flash kernel

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
When I first started with the Pixel I ran into This a few times. An easy fix for me was to flash PN to both slots, that way if you ever do accidentally swap slots you still have an OS to boot, takes like 1 min longer to just go ahead and flash a, and b slots. Then no more issues. Also sometimes pixel wouldn't wanna boot to anything other than two, a simple flash oven vendor img always works for me.

I'm pretty sure I have answered you twice on this same issue. Samsung pay on your Samsung watch will not work with just magisk. Not gonna happen. Also your error is probably from either installing the wrong zip (not the pixel one) or installing in RC1

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
I got mine a couple pages back from someone's GDrive folder.

Not sure, but I'm guessing rc2 would be the correct one.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Okay help a brother out.

Is your zip called something like magisk pixel zip v12?

If that is correct then you have the right zip. You may want to check to make sure you are using rc2
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:

EDIT: After flashing rc2, can confirm Magisk working!

So in my experience more often than not the vendor doesn't make a difference but I have also had instances when a mismatch caused me not to have data service. So it might not be an issue now but that doesn't mean it won't be with other versions.

Also the vendor doesn't affect anything if it doesn't match your carrier, you stand to be affected more by not matching to the rom as opposed to not matching your carrier build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reitaz:
got it, thanks for the quick reply! I eventually flashed the "K" image instead and now it works flawlessly :o
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Unless they are flashing magisk, which in turn won't have all the options anyway, which is the context I assumed because they mentioned using magisk prior to that post.

Also Magisk instructions call out flashing TWRP after flashing the magisk zip.

Also what do you mean "clean all the way" and "wiping all data"? Do you mean the pixel kept your lock screen pattern pin?

If that is what you are talking about that is going to happen after a clean flash, otherwise how does one decrypt the OS to access the files in twrp??

I'm confused by your post, you don't wipe some data.. /data is a partition, IF you are going to clean flash you need to at least factory reset which wipes data. Some people like to wipe system but it already happens in the rom script and frankly it gives novice users a great opportunity to get wipe happy and wipe out internal memory and are left with no rom and no OS.

No problem
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
If you flash PN to both slots, does it use twice the storage space it would use if you only flashed it to one slot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
No, in a normal situation there will always be something in both slots, this is just so you are sporting the same rom in the system partition on both slots.. This also doesnt take away from space available to the user since it's the system partition.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
Got it. Thanks. Makes sense. Follow up question to that. Is the ROM itself the only thing I would need to flash to both slots then? Between Magisk, Kernel, Vendor Image, etc, do I need to flash these to both slots or does that happen anyways or what?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
That I do no know because I've never done it myself.

I know vendor is slotted so you would need to be flashed on both sides
