You probably flashed the vendor image to the wrong slot. Flash the vendor again to be sure, change slots (not sure if reboot recovery is recommended after changing slots), then flash vendor to that slot. I have no idea which slot you flashed the ROM to (it's easiest to flash it to both so you don't have to keep track of it), go ahead and flash it to both too, then make sure to reflash TWRP before rebooting anytime after flashing the ROM. Since data is shared between both slots, you don't want to boot an older or completely stock build because your data might be funky enough to cause problems.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] devilsadidas:
When flashing the vendor.IMG does it flash to the opposite slot like a ROM or to the active slot like everything else? I've never flashed a ROM to both slots. For me its easiest to always wipe both slots then install the rom. And reboot. Look at what ever is active then I know. Going into the reboot menu in twrp to see the active slot is way faster than installing to both slots.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I can never remember if flashing the vendor if it switches slots just like it does when flashing the ROM. I just manually switching when necessary and flashing the ROM to both slots after a factory reset, flashing TWRP before you leave TWRP or reboot, boot the ROM, then boot back to recovery and flash the vendor to both slots.

Whatever works for you, though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AddictedToB3er:
Vendor flashes to current slot and doesn't change slots.

Flash ROM

Reboot to system

Reboot to bootloader

Boot TWRP

Flash TWRP, flash Verified Boot Signer

Reboot to recovery

I tried a couple of times to flash more than one thing at a time, but it always seems to mess up the boot signer - so I think flashing one thing with reboots to system is the safest thing. ie ROM, reboot, TWRP, reboot, su, reboot, kernel reboot. And flash Verified Boot Signer after everything

Wifi Issues

At my new job, I have absolutely no reception in my building. My company has two networks, one is for company issued laptops and phones, and another network that everybody is supposed to be able to connect to. You are supposed to connect to the open network and be redirected to a page where you can enter your domain credentials.

The problem is: I can never get to the company portal to login because as soon as I connect, I get disconnected. The cycle repeats and drains my phone in a few hours if I do not disable WiFi.

The main suggestion I have read is to completely reset all network settings, tried that and wiped my cache for good measure to no success. Everyone I've talked to say they get redirected fine and do not have any issues.

I have ran out of ideas and really would appreciate any help. As of now I don't receive any calls or texts until I walk to the parking lot at the end of the day.

Ok now that I got recovery working properly, does anyone know how to uninstall Magisk root? I figured out I can't live without substratum and the uninstall option in Magisk doesn't work for some reason...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Not sure how to uninstall magisk since I've never used it, but why do you need to uninstall it to use substratum? Substratum works with or without root on this ROM.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dynamic_donkey:
I was told substratum didn't work with Magisk, and to be honest I'm too afraid to check because I've never used Magisk before.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
That might be referring to stock, which uses legacy substratum (which requires root, possibly only supersu)

but this ROM has full oms commits and works without root of any kind

Flashing it when it isn't necessary doesn't do anything. The zip detects it's already signed. Just flash it to be safe and read the output.

Ok, I have obviously missed something. I want to install the latest PN. I figure the steps should be:

Install the May factory image using flash-all.bat

Reboot system

Fastboot boot twrp.img

Flash TWRP RC2

Reboot bootloader then boot TWRP

Factory reset

Flash PN

Flash vendor.img

Flash SU 2.79 SR3

Flash bootsigner V5

Problem is when I try to install the Google May image (47O) it failed and put me into the ramdump. I tried again and it says something about a missing table or something. I also notice it tried installing to slot a. After forcing a reboot to fastboot mode I could boot into recovery. I can now boot system like normal and I am back on April's PN.

What did I miss? Do I need to factory reset first or swap slots in TWRP? I'm currently on slot A but remember being on slot B before flashing PN last time. Has to be something simple I missed but I want to start on the May image before going to PN.

Suggestions?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
I know you are supposed to boot the ROM once after flashing it before flashing SuperSU​
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] FernBch:
Never made it that far. Using flash-all.bat results in not booting. I missed something basic.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Golf c:
You should have lost Twrp when you flashed Pn? Pn flashes a boot image and overrides twrp. I always flash Twrp after a rom.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Lol then idk what to say. Flash-all should recover a phone because it's stock everything. Especially considering you still had PN on one slot...

Are you on the latest fastboot SDK?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PapaSmurf6768:
Flash the boot signer after you flash TWRP the first time. I think.

Or just use the April bootloader. I couldn't be bothered to mess with all this stuff so I have the May update installed except the bootloader, which doesn't require all this signing mumbo jumbo.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dynamic_donkey:
Do I need to flash the Signer when I flash the ROM as well?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Golf c:
I was able to boot the rom without flashing the vbs zip. But if you flash Twrp and Supersu you will need to flash it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dynamic_donkey:
And I need to wipe dalvik/System/Data first before I flash the ROM?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Golf c:
You can, but I don't think you need to. The rom switches slots and wipes the new slot. The old slot, will have what you had in there before.

Edit: You have to wipe data and cache if clean flash

It seems over the last few days with the newest bootloader their are several different posts with different results for each. I'd prefer to stay on the newest bootloader if possible. Thanks for the info.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DynamicDonkey:
Boot TWRP, wipe system/dalvik/cache, flash the PN zip, reboot to system.

Reboot to TWRP, install TWRP, flash bootsigner, reboot.

If you want root, redo the same thing as you did with TWRP with SuperSU zip.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] FernBch:
Thanks for the replies. I've been thinking about this. I wonder if I need to set slot b as active, then factory reset, install the May update, flash PN, etc. etc.

I was stock before flashing PN. One thing I noticed was slot b was always active. Even after applying an update from Google. When I flashed PN it made slot a active and that's where the May factory image tried to install to.

I am by no means new to hacking/modding/flashing Android. Running factory firmware for almost 4 months is the longest I've ever gone before going to custom ROMs on any device. The norm is usually doing it right out of the box. The whole dual slot thing, however, is new to me.

I am sorry in advance, but I am having extreme troubles getting this rom installed on my pixel. A couple times when I thought it worked it reboots to the factory image, like i didnt even flash pn. Here is the order I am flashing. wipe, pn, twrp, bootsigned v5. reboot pixel. Ive tried throwing in Su in there too, and then it just bootloops. When it comes back up, it is my factory image.

I have been rooting and flashing since the htc hero days and I have never had a problem like this before ....

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Yes it works fine. You can also flash supersu 2.80 stable

EDIT: 2.80 worked fine for me using playstore update or flashing but 2.81 doesn't root (using either method) so I guess I'm going back to 2.80.

Did you do anything special to update? I tried to update via Play and even after updating the binary I had no root access.

Just flash what was working for you last and wait for this to be fixed. The supersu thread is full of people having the same issues with both 2.80 and 2.81. The app will still update from the playstore and complain about the binary needing an update but just ignore it for now.
