I'm having trouble connecting this rom to Windows 10. MTP doesn't always show the contents and takes a long time to open the folder which fails. It worked on stock no problem. I tried removing all the drivers and nothing seems to work. Please help!

Darn. Well, [MENTION=2682771]TheFL[/MENTION]ash made a working kernel about a month ago. I'd use that one
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
I thought I backed it up before I had to wipe my server but it appears not; I'll build a new one later tonight and upload it to GitHub where it will have a more permanent spot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zwitterion:
Apologies for the dumb question, but could someone kindly point me to a tutorial.or other resource that explains the nuance of Pixel's "A/B" arrangement and how that affects flashing ROMs. Coming from a 6P and a long line of Nexus phones before that. I'd rather not foul up this lucky break in getting a Pixel XL as a replacement for my misbehaving 6P!

Many thanks!

I found this too: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-root-flash-pixel-xl-t3507886

I'm still waiting on my 6P replacement. I think they got hammered by the masses and it's caused delays.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zwitterion:
Thanks! Unfortunately, that tutorial utilizes an alpha build of TWRP and from some searching it appears TeamWin has an RC2 out by now. I read that there are some incompatibilities with RC2 so I thought to ask if flashing a ROM requires carefully working with the Pixel's unique partitions or if it is now as simple as flashing TWRP (as opposed to temporarily booting TWRP and then flashing some associated zip) and then flashing Pure Nexus, GApps and then Magisk.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Spartan117H3:
Just clean flashed the NHG47Q Verizon (I have a Google Store Pixel but my carrier is Verizon), then wiped everything except internal storage and flashed this rom and TWRP. I'm having an issue with USB file transfers (I don't have any issues on my Nexus 6P). It will just make file explorer hang and I can't access the files on my phone. The USB drivers are installed through the Android SDK manager so they're the latest and shouldn't have any issues. Any ideas?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zwitterion:
So in other words, the state of flashing a Pixel is a mess?

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I think this is the closest to a tutorial we have. What is causing TWRP to get lost every time? I have to go on an emergency deployment to do disaster relief so I am just going to hold off - can't afford a janked up phone. Honestly liked the size and build of the 6P better *gasp*. :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Spartan117H3:
I actually did this before you responded, I had previously forgotten that ElementalX is a kernel replacement. Works perfectly. It's been ages since I've flashed anything substantial on my phone, I had a N6P on MM for Xposed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] just_visiting:
The only thing I did not like about the 6P was the buttons placement. Everytime I grip the phone I'd end up pressing the up/down vol button because it was too low. The larger screen size with the 6P was great.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zwitterion:
True. But the size of the Pixel XL just ain't right for my hands. The 6P was perfect - I strongly dislike beveled screens that seem to be the new rage. If the 6P wasn't inherently defective, I'd have used it for the next 3 years. I'm no longer a phone addict. I just want a good screen and long-lasting battery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] guitar1238751:
Yup dude also just received a Pixel XL (128gb quite black) as an RMA from my 6P. I really did love my 6P. After using the pixel XL for a day now, I really don't see it as a big deal. The pixel is such a minor improvement over the 6p. Only thing that's really stood out to me is the display and the camera which are both so much better than the 6p. Though it is super retarded and annoying that Google's super premium flagship doesn't have OIS. EIS just isn't close to what OIS can do. Would honestly never have upgraded to the pixel at least for a couple of years had my 6p not started acting up. I really miss the larger screen and front facing speakers too. Sadly, after a year in, tons of issues like the early battery shutdown issue popped up and I went through 4 replacement 6ps and now the 5th replacement is a pixel XL. The first one had early battery shutdown, 2nd one had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, the 3rd one had the early battery shutdown issue again, and the 4th one had really bad network/cellular issues. Hopefully it all works out this time around. I'd be royally pissed if I had to call Google Support again cause the pixel XL decided to act up too. Been really busy with classes and work since the xl arrived so I haven't even gotten the chance to root yet. I've read it's harder to flash stuff on Pixel but I guess I'll find out soon when I start flashing away haha. Anyways def props to Google's awesome customer support but it really sucks that they have to take the full brunt for this while Hauwei just sits back and relaxs
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mlin:
I'm not sure what you're all talking about. I had a 6p and when you consider the differences in camera, screen, performance, and build quality, the two phones aren't even in the same league. To each their own, but I just don't get it.

Can I downgrade from Oreo to install PN? I totally miss all the features of beans roms
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bilago:
My phone is dying overnight thanks to Android System (8hrs CPU, 1622mAh used) a whopping total of 48% of my battery usage. Any fixes? or is Android N just poop for both the 6p and this phone?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RagedElimanator:
Besides the system the kernel could be also held accountable.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Sure. Install factory image for 7.1.2, install TWRP, then latest pn build
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] abbz123:
I know this is off topic but just curious as to why there aren't any Android Oreo ROMs at all in the ROM section
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
Also wrong subforum, but as for an answer, takes some time to update in making sure everything works. Also as there is no official TWRP for Oreo yet, that might be the bigger hold up at the moment.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Because you didn't build any yet!

As soon as TWRP is ready, I'm sure dev'ing can begin.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
Yup, agreed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
Yep, that's exactly it. I have a ROM built but haven't had time to downgrade to 7.1.2 (with full wipe), get a working recovery, and flash it to test. It's incredibly frustrating, heh. I just keep hoping for a fully functioning TWRP.

Edit - We also don't know whether it will even work, having an Oreo install on the Nougat bootloader & radio.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Why would you not use the Oreo bootloader and radio?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
You can use the bootloader and radio from the system image.....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
I'm relatively certain the bootloader is the reason that we don't have a working TWRP yet.

The radio we could flash separately via fastboot of course.

Anyone have issues with the phone showing up on the pc? I cant access the files. Ive flashed purenexus twice and it never shows up in windows. Device manager shows the android adb fine and I've restarted multiple times, reinstalled adb drivers with the full removal of past usb connections, still no go.

Im currently on the stock oreo and its recognizing fine. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same?

There is a problem with the July release and mtp. It has something to do with the kernel. Either flash another kernel or flash the June release where everything works as expected.

Tried this yesterday and it failed for me. The RC1 would only flash the screen for a second and be gone in less than a second. Other recoveries resulted in a bootloop once I had the rom flashed and reflashed the recovery.

Did you fastboot RC1? I did it multiple times without issue.

Update: Nevermind, doing a quick search, i found several posts back in Jan saying there is no way to currently remove encryption.

Has anyone been able to remove encryption? I've tried so many times but no luck whatsoever.

- flashed stock image

- booted into twrp

- formatted data with yes (thought this here removed encryption)

- transferred over purenexus rom and flashed

I even tried it again formatting data after installing custom rom to see if that worked. Can anyone share their steps?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fz798:
Why would you want to? Performance is ridiculous on this phone as it is, and without encryption, anyone with even a modicum of knowledge can have all your data are belong to us.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
If you flash supersu right after the rom it doesn't encrypt
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jonas2295:
Yeah boot into RC1 using fastboot boot RC1 img and it would just flash the splash screen for a second. I tried the latest TWRP as well which booted and so on, but flashing the rom and then rebooting would result in a endless bootloop without even getting to the bootanimation.

I ended up just flashing the latest oreo and flash magisk etc and use that for now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] clambert11:
So the official beta of Magisk is out (14.1) and now supports Pixel. My RMA'd Pixel XL still isn't here to replace my 6P. Until then I must vicariously live through your posts. :)

Let me know how it goes. :svetius:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surenther.ss:
I am coming from 6P. I am still learning about pixel partition. After some struggle I have installed PN successfully. I really liked Magisk in 6P. I am want to give a try in pixel also. Seems now Magisk is supported officially. Did any one tried flashing official migask in latest PN?

For now I am staying with SU with SU HIDE.

I did the same mistake seems lastest TWRP not like PN build. I have flashed PN using RC1 TWRP only. Don't try to flash this version of PN with new TWRP
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
Yes Magisk works beautifully. AndroidPay, full Elemental Kernel controls, ARISE Sound v4a. Love it. Just have to follow the tutorials for each respective module.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surenther.ss:
Great to here. Can you share the steps for installing Magisk with latest PN? . I have looked into official guide it's mentioned I need to patch some boot images from stock. What you have done for PN?.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
I can't remember the exact steps. This is the EXACT reason why XDA should enable the "Wiki" post that sits below the OP. It's absurd that they haven't done this years ago.

Here's a link with the basic steps:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73279534&postcount=4715

But I don't flash like I used to, so it seems like I have to re-figure it out every time. And with the order needed when flashing a recipe like, Pure, Elemental, MAgisk, ARISE, Vendor images, two slots...it can get a bit dicey.

I attached the menagerie of files that I downloaded when flashing the last time. I went clean install then restored apps with Titanium, if I remember correctly, I downloaded a few I didn't actually need.

Best of luck.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surenther.ss:
Thank you. Let me give a try with new Magisk 14.1 beta . I got little confused with stock boot image patching and other things mentioned at original Magisk thread. Seems we need to do it if we want to get an OTA. Any way we are losing OTA by flashing PN. I hope flashing Magisk directly in TWRP will work in our case.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cswithxda:
I flashed it straight in TWRP (blindly) and there's no problem. Only that I later flashed a custom kernel and the root was lost, so I had to flash it again.

---------- Post added at 11:18 ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 ----------

Does everyone get that annoying permanent Android 8.0 OTA notification? And is the only way to get it out of sight is to block the notification?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
Yes, OTAs don't apply to us, that is mainly if you are stock.

Correct as far as I understand the issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jonas2295:
Problem was for me that the RC1 would not boot for me. Oh well I will just hold out for the Oreo update of PN or even get the Pixel XL 2 since this is my 6p RMA device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xthek1ng:
How did you flash 14.2 on PN? Every time I try to flash it, the device boots into recovery again. No Magisk on the phone right now. TWRP version is RC2.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cswithxda:
Arrrh speaking of devil!!

MAGISK root (14.2) was gone all our of a sudden for no reason, so I went back to TWRP to flash it again and now I'm back in the OS, it's there.

I'm running PN July, TWRP RC2, Elemental.

Flashing went smoothly, but I'm going to keep an eye on how well it sticks. It deserves a beta status at this point, because this behavior reminds me of the time when Pixel just came out and SuperSU was in its early beta for this device. The root would just disappear suddenly and randomly.

That said, I had 14.1 since last night until earlier today, and it stuck well. I only flashed 14.2 about an hour ago because I saw another member mentioned it.

P.S. I also tried direct install method from within the Magisk manager. It's definitely a nogo.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xthek1ng:
Do you need elemental? or the PN kernel is good enough?

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cswithxda:
It's good enough from what I could tell during the 3 days of using it. I flashes Elemental today because I needed that swipe up to wake desperately.

Btw just found out this morning that flashing kernel will erase Magisk, so be mindful of the order to save time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xthek1ng:
I'm fine with the PN kernel for now. I'm just confused why 14.2 won't take on my phone lol. Guess it's back to 13.3 b4. Sigh. Was so excited for this release.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cswithxda:
You could always try 14.1 if you don't need any module I guess? I didn't need any and 14.1 was quite stable over the 24 hour period.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xthek1ng:
I just tweeted at him to see if he has an idea. I've also asked a bunch of places on Reddit. For now, I'll stay on 13.3. Realistically, the only reason I wanted 14.1/2 was for Xposed support. For whatever reason, on my phone with the current setup, none of the Xposed variants would take on my phone. I'm also painfully aware of how insecure Xposed is haha.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cswithxda:
Yeah good luck. It's a myth why on exctly the same device it would work for mine but not yours.

I was using stock oreo rooted and was working great but had issues with chrome browser taking long time to load pages. It would feel like pages would just sit trying to resolve then they load (like 8 seconds or more) then the page will load normally. This drove me nuts happened on lte and wifi went back to this rom for the time being.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlPoo:
Coming from 6p running PN but the method seems to be different on the pixel. Couple of questions,

Following the systemless root guide, says we need a modified twrp thats in your platform tools that cannot be installed on the device. The installation instructions here says we need twrp. Is there now a permanent installable version?

If i go ahead and root systemlessly, will i have to re-root after flashing PN?

If the latest update is 8.0.0 but PN is based on 7.1.x, should i not update to 8.0.0 before attempting this? But again, the installation instructions say to be on the latest versions.

The FAQ takes you to the 6P version, which oh course, doesn't have the same rooting issue the pixel seems to have. Any advice that would make this less painful would be appreciated.

Edit: no additional kernels are needed to make this work?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] angus242:
Here's the best I was able to come up with for the 6P to Pixel XL people. You don't need GAPPS nor an additional kernel.
