After a week using the May bootloader. I have switched back to the April bootloader. I was having issues flashing Rom's, ram dumps and having to restore too many times. My life is much better on April bootloader. The Pixel's will get figured out with all the great Dev's working on the new partitions. Great update by the way.

Thank You
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Glsoto:
This steps works for me:

Please, try this steps

1. ran the latest May update from Google using flash-all.bat

2. fastboot boot twrp

3. flashed trwp-3.1.0-0RC2

4. advanced wipe

5. flashed purenexus

6. Reboot system (not TWRP), when the sign in appears, power off the phone and reboot to bootloader

7- Fastboot boot TWRP image

8. FLash TWRP RC2.zip

9. in TWRP flash verifiedBootsignerv5.zip

Reboot system

8. let the system boot up and sign in

9. reboot later to twrp recovery

10. flash supuersu

11 flashverifiedbootsignerv5

done

I'm just using April's bootloader with everything may. Works perfect. I'll wait to.mess with bootloader once everyone figures out su as well as twrp

Step #4 Advanced Wipe- Are wiping the system?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Waay too much trouble even when it works to even bother for me. There is no reason why April's BL wouldn't work so I'm gonna stick it out

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kwhodson:
This worked excellent for me. By far the smoothest process I have used. My only issue was step 6...for whatever reason if I don't continue on past the sign in so I can enable debugging, I can't get adb to communicate with my phone. Is there a way to do that? Wasn't a big deal though, I just skipped all the sign in stuff. Thanks for this well written process!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Did a clean flash of the latest version, no magisk or SuperSU and all is working fine (I'm using the April bootloader). Only issue is that no matter what music player I try, I don't have the lockscreen controls to pause/rewind/fast forward. I've tried Google play music, phonograph, and one or two others. This worked fine in the March build. Am I missing something? I do have lockscreen cover art enabled, and I see it, but can't control the music from the lockscreen. Thanks!

Does anyone know why there is a tiny plus sign by my LTE signal? Never seen this before today?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
How do you quantify that kind of error though. Not everyone is having the same out come but I would imagine the majority of people know the meaning of always listening.

For me always listening works everywhere except for when the screen is off. That is with no hands and a trigger using hot word detection. Running the beta of the Google App
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] M9guy:
It was not about that at all the guy was just trying to be a royal pain. He tried to nit pick my post saying the rom was a great one to run. He bashed trying to say the google assistant does not work which many say it does which he is not even running this rom. I told him the feature means nothing to me and I do not care about said feature.

There are many other posts from other people on here about weather or not it works or does not work for them, so all he had to do was read but I think he did any way he was just trying to be a pain trying to get me to try that feature and after he nit picked my post why would anyone want to do anything for him and he was just trying to be sarcastic asking me to.

I help people many times as per my high thanks rate compared to my number of posts but when someone tries to put you down in any way or nit pick anything you post those people do not deserve any help from me or anyone because they have no good intension they just want to bash others and no one deserves that or should be treated that way. I believe if you cant play nice then go else where and moderators keep telling people to stop flaming others but it still goes on and on.

If he had not nit picked my post which my post was positive comments about this rom then I would have but when he acted like he did I"am not doing anything for him...

Tough to quantify. I'm glad to know beans is looking into it though. I'd be curious to know if those reporting it working completely are using a third party launcher.... Quite a few have reported it not working so there is something extra the few who have it working from within any app are doing that enables it without quite knowing that they are doing it.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Thanks. Same here but doesn't work from any screen. Just home screen and within google app. Out of curiosity, do you have a 3rd party launcher installed even if you aren't using it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
No the stock launcher. I do have a question for you.

When you long press a User App to bring it to the home screen. What options do you have at the top?

Currently I have two options, Cancel and Uninstall. Before installing the ROM I also had Application Info in the center.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
I gotcha brother, just par for the course for this phone I guess cause it is new ground for everyone. I rely on Okay Google to work when the screen is off and not plugged into a power source. It gets a little annoying when people say it is all working and it isnt really. The always listening function while off and not plugged in was a pretty big feature for me. However, this rom runs so good and has so many options that I am sure it will get fixed and if it doesnt oh well the rom itself is worth the loss.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Interesting. Did you restore data from a tibu backup for pixel launcher and or Google app after you clean flashed?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NickOlsen8390:
Confirmed it indicates VoLTE. If I toggle VoLTE off, The plus goes away. (VZW)

All of my other VZW devices. Including another pixel xl (Stock) still shows "LTE" not "LTE+" so this is strictly a rom thing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] M9guy:
I agree with you 100% its a small thing that the overall smoothness and how quick your phone is on this rom more than makes up for.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I have made no changes since I installed this ROM. I am on same slot and April build. It has gotten worse lately which is why I asked. I am on April bootloader. I installed before everyone started having issues with May. I have avoided "updating" because of so many problems with it posted here.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Thank you, that was it! Missed that step during the initial installation of the ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] digitalshadow:
Thats basically what I finally did to get it to work....what a pain in the ass lol! The ROM kicks ass as usual so it was worth it. One thing I did have to change is use SuperSU 2.78 SR5 (what I previously had) because 2.79 SR3 kept corrupting something that would cause the boot signer to give a level 1 SD failure.

Is this just a rom or is it rom + Kernel?

Hi,

Is this Pure Nexus Rom mentioned in this thread just a ROM, or is it a ROM + custom Kernel?

Because I'm looking to use Pure NEXUS ROM with Elemental 1.11

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Every rom here comes with a kernel. You can flash whatever kernel you want over that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteEVO:

Stuck in a boot loop. I can still get into Recovery and fast boot TWRP. But it goes away as soon as I restart (even after I flash the .zip file). After about every 10 tries, I can install Pure Nexus (and flash SuperSU), after restarting the phone there is no root. One more reboot, and SuperSU goes away too.

[RAMdump] writing to EXT4 file

This error keeps popping up on the screen as well. I've tried flashing the boot file to both slots A and B, it goes away for a while, but after the boot loop it comes back again.

I've tried flashing the stock 7.1.2 image, sometimes it works, sometimes it gets stuck at 47%. This all started when I tried to follow instructions on a different tread on how to install Magisk along with the newest version of Pure Nexus.

Also, in TWRP when trying to clear cache, it says "unable to find partition for path '/cache'"

Please help. Thanks.

I would use the Skipsoft Android tool kit. I've used it several times when I was in a bind like this and it worked well. There are several tools within the program.

There is no true cache partition on the pixel. So that button is essentially useless. Why not just down load a factory image and start fresh? I'd recommend April

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] alluringreality:
It reads like you have the latest Pixel update from May and you are not signing the boot image after installing the current SuperSU. If that's the case, adding the boot signer zip here should get rid of the issue.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tutusinghsohi:
Thanks for the reply. I did flash the latest factory image, but back to the boot loop I went after flashing TWRP. I finally got out of it after I flashed a 7.1.1 image from March (and then flashed the latest PN).

Thanks. I wish I knew about this last night. Wasted about 10 hours trying to find fixes.

Everything seems to be working now, largely thanks to the XDA thread I'm linking below. Should I use this to clean wipe and install everything again, just to be sure nothing's broken?

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/info-how-restored-to-stock-soft-t34944

I was able to get everything running after flashing the 7.1.1 stock image from March. I'm on PN now, and TWRP seems to be sticking. Just to be sure, I've also flashed the boot signer zip just to be sure (got it to flash without any issues). I'm thinking of using Skipsoft Android tool kit to wipe everything and starting from the beginning just to be safe.

I did see this zip earlier on a different thread talking about Magisk (I think you need this zip, along with 3 other zips, to be able to flash Magisk and make it work); I wish I would have known this would fix everything. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You only need the bootsigner if you are on a May bootloader.

The easiest path while being somewhat up to date would have been to simply load up April or even easier pull the April BL and flash it to the May build on your device. But if you are not on the May BL you don't even need the boot signer.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrock60:
Getting more confused everyday reading this thread. Not looking for steps but before i dive into this finally, can we dirty flash with magisk and keep magisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I would say yes if you are flashing the same version. Just my guess tho
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] D0CTOR:
I haven't updated yet, but here'a quote from another thread of someone who has:

"Hey Guys, If your ALREADY on Magisk, this is what I did for a dirty flash

- flash new vendor image, reboot back to twrp

- flash purenexus, twrp, boot into rom

- boot in twrp, flash vendor (if needed), flash EX kernel, make sure proper slot, boot into ROM.

- Booted and my original Magisk setup is all intact"

Good luck and let me know how it works for you!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micmars:
I tried omitting the Magisk 12 Pixel zip, and no root. A simple reboot to recovery, flash Magisk and TWRP again, and right as rain.

Irrespective, the update from April to May PureNexus builds is pretty much pain-free (especially since I'm on the April bootloader).

Thanks , I appreciate it. I'm not going to root. I used to apply magisk on my 6P, but I haven't jumped back on it yet. Custom kernel that bypasses bootloader check and chainfire's verified boot signer are all I really need with the added goodies that pure Nexus provides. Would love to see the necessary files that the flashable zip provides added to the actual rom.

I'm on the latest build, clean flash, haven't done much setup yet, just let it install a bunch of apps from my Google account. I ran the hipxel Disk Speed Test app and my write speed is really low. 53-93 MB/s after trying twice. Phone seems to run fine, but the write speed has been previously on stock and earlier version of same ROM around 160 MB/s. 216-261 MB/s has been read speed, which seems mostly in line with previous results.

Anyone getting same results or have any thoughts?

Question for you about this, or the greater community of subject matter experts.

Do we need to use the VerifiedBootSigner zip?

Reason I ask is;

- According to the changelog Beans has been signing PureNexus (albeit with private keys) since the PN 2017-04-23 release.

- According to the opening post of Chainfire's thread;

Which would seem to suggest it's not necessary to [re]sign the PN boot image since Beans has already provided a signed image.

Hi Guys - I was using the PureNexus ROM on Nexus 6 for a couple of years. Just got a Pixel and been trying to install the PureNexus latest release.

There used to be a FAQ from Flash for ROM installation. However it only has instructions for Nexus 6/6p. I've been trying to read the thread and a little confused (especially with the slots). Anyone know of any place which has the right instructions?

Just trying to get TWRP+ PureNexus + Elemental X +Root (no substratum or any other mods). I'll keep reading this thread from the beginning but in case anyone has any pointers, much appreciated.

Also now wondering whether I should have bought the Nexus 6P instead of Pixel. Missing the larger screen and seeing that there is less development for this phone (compared to Nexus 6/6p).

Thanks in advance.
