Hey Guys

Been a while since I did a clean flash. If I'm coming from the March version of PN, I see that its recommended I flash the radio, bootloader, and modem.

Can anyone recommend the proper order to do this? Will i lose TWRP while doing any of the above?

I understand vendor needs to be flashed right after PN.

TIA!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Well... I'm using ElementalX kernel on all my devices (N6, N6P and Pixel XL). Haven't modified any setting and it's running very well.

But you know, using different kernels, if used with stock frequencies and settings will most likely perform approximately the same. It's usually the way you use your device that will affect your battery: the apps you use, screen brightness, apps syncing in the background, ambient display, etc...

ElementalX performs well for me, but try them yourself and choose the one you like the most. If you are not looking for additional settings like: gestures, color control, etc... The stock kernel already performs very well...

Cheers...

*Fastboot Flashing Modem/Bootloader etc*

Just an FYI, if you watch the process as you fastboot, you'll see the Baseband and Radio IMGs get flashed to either _a or _b depending on what slot you are currently on. I made sure to flash each IMG to each slot (_a &_b )and have had no issues.

Thanks Beans for all the hard work and sharing with us.

magdisk works perfectly on 7.1.2?

from my understanding one has to remove superSU if they have already flashed it, flash v12 via recovery and then download magdisk manager via playstore, is that correct ?

I see you in most all of the forums for this device...you are an extremely helpful user, and I am certain I'm not the only one that appreciates your input.

So I have a rather specific request...if I want to try Magisk, Elemental X, including settings in EX Kernel Manager, and Viper4Android, what would be your suggested steps? Also, could you provide links?

Finally, can one set the SELinux status of the kernel to permissive and retain Android Pay functionality?

Thanks in advance.

Pm'd you. I don't want to keep cluttering the thread.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
That I don't know, I can keep an eye out because I know a few other users are in the same boat for EX Kernel where all the options are not present with magisk over SuperSU, I can only imagine it's making some changes at the system level for some of the kernel tweaks that cannot be done without a module on magisk (since it's whole purpose is not to touch system or at least make it so system doesn't appear to be touched).

I'll have to get back to you on SELinux and V4A. This would be much easier if the magisk modules supported our device then we could flash mods for SELinux and V4A.

Permissive trips safetynet so I don't think it is possible unless it's a matter of toggling it until you want to use android pay at which time you would want to toggle back.

Update:

This may be helpful for using arise to install a v4a mod

Most folks here could probably use the info, it's a step up in the OS version, and a different superuser app so get repeated questions irrespective of your efforts to the contrary.

Most appreciated. Yeah, I thought the permissive bit was a rather oblique request.

As to EXKM, I think the functionality that could get blown with enforcing status is the CPU temp in the status bar.

I'm mobile so I can't link easily right now, I'm sorry, but I can say how to do this, assuming ElementalX works with PureNexus​ (it should).

Flash ElementalX

Flash the Pixel Magisk v12

Flash TWRP (or you'll lose it)

Install Magisk Manager (download link / thread link)

Flash ARISE (see its thread for instructions, but it is the only way to have Enforcing + Viper I know of)

Flash the ARISE Magisk compatibility module, found in the arise thread and it works on Pixels (unlike almost all other Magisk modules)

The only thing that I can't get working for you is EX kernel manager + Magisk. flar2 has started he hasn't had a chance to get it working with Magisk, and I'm not sure when or if that will happen.

Edit - PM me if you can't figure any of this out. It's a lot. I will help with links when I'm at a PC.

I have not clean flashed on Pixel since the day I got it and put PN on it, I just want to confirm a few things:

-Do I flash Bootloader, radio, and modem before or after flashing the new rom?

-I downloaded the bootloader and radio from OP but where can I find the modem zip?

-Can I use TWRP RC1 or is RC2 suggested if I want to use Magisk?

-Should the steps for flashing the rom with Magisk look like this?:

Boot TWRP

Factory Reset

Flash PN

Flash TWRP RCx

Reboot TWRP

Flash Vendor

Boot PN

Boot TWRP

Flash Magisk v12 for Pixel

Flash TWRP RCx

Boot PN and install Magisk apk

Much appreciated in advance, thanks!

Did a factory reset in TWRP. Flashed bootloader/vendor and rom. Working smoothly. ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Doesnt matter when you flash the BL/Modem/Radio truthfully. Just may find you wont have mobile data until you flash the modem. You need to use RC2 to flash Magisk, you can flash RC 1 after magisk if you want.

You dont have to boot PN before flashing magisk, just reboot twrp but it doesnt hurt. That's the only difference between what you did and what I did.

What is the latest radio I need to be on for Verizon?

Can I flash the bootloader, radio and mode like a zip?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hello,

You can find bootloader and radio here​: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=138509

Bootloader is the latest uploaded...

Latest Verizon radio is: radio-marlin-8896-012901-1703291803.img

I suggest.you also flash the modem which you can find here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/modem-flash-current-pixel-xl-modem-t3495939

Or you can download NHG47K factory image and extract them.

You should flash those with fastboot in bootloader.

Also what "mode" are you talking about?

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stilger:
I have the same issue. Flashed multiple modems with no love. Restored EFS still nothing. After first installing new PN I rebooted and everything was working. Rebooted installed SuperSU everything working. Rebooted to fastboot installed new bootloader and modem at the same time and then rebooted to now cellular at all. I have since re flashed the 3 most recent modems with no luck. Verified both slots had the modems and I still have nothing. I guess doing this at the soccer fields while waiting for the kids to finish soccer practice wasn't the best idea. I will try a clean factory flash from factory images when I get home. I will try an older bootloader first but not sure. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

The bootloader, radio & modem are flashed via fastboot. That's beyond my time to explain right now unfortunately.

First time flashing anything on this. I know the steps in order but how do I flash the V vendor image? Am I doing it with fastboot or from within twrp

I have it on my flash drive which is plugged into the pixel but when in TWRP it's not listed the vendor IMG? All of my other files such as TWRP and SU are show just fine?

Edit. Ignore this I'm retarded I got it.

Now the only thing I'm confused about is the TWRP encryption stuff. When I first did fastboot boot TWRP.img to boot into TWRP it prompted for password. After flashing ROM and TWRP zip I booted the phone. Now when I use the advanced power menu and reboot into TWRP it's encrypted. How do I make it unencrypted each time I boot into it

Hi,

I have a question.

At the moment I'm on the December patch NMF26O (Telekom Germany) and have TWRP + root installed.

Is it enough to do this steps

1: factory reset in TWRP

2: install ROM

3: install TWRP zip again

4: boot recovery again

5: install vendor V

6: Boot Android and do initial setup

7: boot recovery again and install root

I'm a little bit confused by the process. Or should I first install the January patch and start then the points above?

And how can I install the January OTA?

Maybe some one can explain me the process?

I have read every post in here but I always walk in the dark ;)

Quick question. So if I am currently in slot A stock rooted, how can I maintain that setup and get slot B setup with PN? Do I need to switch to B to do a factory reset (as to not wipe slot A), switch back to A to flash ROM (which would flash to the empty B slot), switch back to B to reflash twrp, vendor, bootloader, SuperSU? The reason I say switch back to A to flash ROM is because it was stated the ROM flashes to the non-current slot (currently slot B).

Coming from stock 7.1.2

Hello peeps, so it has been like 2 years since I have messed with this. I already have adb and fast-boot minimal installed on my pc. I have the drivers, the 4/23.2017 pure-nexus, depixel8, and TWRP 3.1.0-0RC2. Along with the boot-to-root by chainfire, and the NHG47K_Vendor image for Verizon. I assume all I have to do is unlock the boot-loader with depixel8, then run the boot-to-root, install TWRP, and then install the ROM. I have a screenshot of my radio and **** just to show you where I am already at. My question is, does this look like everything I need? Also, will I need to flash the vendor image again even though I am already up to date? I appreciate any constructive feedback.

You cannot unlock the bootloader on a Verizon pixel that has been updated to 7.1.1 and beyond.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
The modem image should be included inside the radio image, so I think this is likely a case where only one slot got the new radio, and it wasn't the slot you were booted into. Flashing bootloader and radio should be sufficient.

The most comprehensive bet on a slot-based device like the Pixel would be this (which flashes all slots at once):

fastboot --slot all flash bootloader bootloader_file_name.img

fastboot --slot all flash radio radio_file_name.img

Hello,

Unlock your bootloader first. Also don't use adb minimal. Google for: Android platform tools sdk and download them straight from Google.

Proceed this way:

fastboot boot TWRP RC1 IMG

Install Pure Nexus

Install TWRP RC2 zip.

Reboot TWRP

Install vendor IMG

Boot into pure Nexus

Reboot TWRP

Install SuperSU 2.79 sr3

Reboot, done...

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Did you fastboot FLASH twrp?

I thought the fix to that would be to fastboot flash the boot.img again? Another option to try that may be easier before you fastboot is to flash SuperSU or Magisk, then TWRP and see if that pulls you out of the boot loop.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
It looks like you have several different processes mashed together there, so you definitely have more tools than you need. A few thoughts?

1. Where did you get your phone?

If it's from Verizon (not the service you're using it on, but through what retail channel did you buy it?) and you're currently on 7.1.2, game over, you cannot use a custom ROM.

If it's from Google Play or Project Fi, you don't need dePixel8. Just unlock like any other Nexus device (enable OEM unlocking in Developer Options, reboot to bootloader, then unlock with fastboot).

2. Once unlocked, follow the standard installation instructions. You won't need boot-to-root by chainfire for anything. Flashing the vendor.img is best practice, and should match exactly ("7.1.2" is not specific enough, as there will be many vendor images supporting that version of Android; you must currently be on NHG47K).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] illuzi0n:
