For the sake of accuracy, the very first command you quoted me is incorrect. My bad. 'fastboot flash --slot _a/b bootloader bootloaderimage' will return 'This command does not support slots." However, it would still flash to the active slot.

The correct syntax is: 'fastboot flash bootloader_a/b bootloaderimage'.

Regarding your last paragraph, I do agree somewhat. You're absolutely correct that sharing userdata between two non-stock ROMs can lead to force closes. That, in essence, is a dirty flash, right? And dirty flashes can cause issues because apps haven't been properly installed, and permissions haven't been properly set. I believe you're correct that userdata can certainly be shared among 2 identical ROMs. I've run WETA and stock together, or WETA + WETA (just for the purpose of testing), or stock + stock without force closes in either slot. If I have PN and stock, I'll crash. If I have Carbon and PN, I still crash. The only part I'm not agreeing with is that I don't feel it increases the probability of a hard brick. I'm saying you may force close, but you wouldn't render your device un-reflashable (is that a word?)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] piperx:
I agree, I can't get stock and pn to run right either, stock/stock, stock/weta was fine back then
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jesssiii:
I said, or at least meant, it DECREASES chances of bricks, increasing safety. And the first commands I used for bootloader and radio worked just fine, not sure why you've changed the command but I'll make note and try it instead. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Would you happen to know about flashing the stock Europe images on a Google Store device using Verizon in the USA? I know I can, and it works, but specifically will I then get the future ota's for Europe or would it give me the other, or would I break OTA (assuming all stock without mods or root)?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
I do not know and don't want to respond inaccurately. I would only offer suggestions after I've actually gone through the processes myself. Security patches come out monthly, I can test your concept though.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Why are you on Europe version? I know with some ROMs you need just the V vendor image but there's no reason to run the V version of anything else. Why not just flash NMF26U? Then you know for sure you will get OTAs
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jesssiii:
Curiosity. And once I tried it, I found an additional setting the U version didn't have. I think on stock V it's under display and moves, here on PN it's gestures. Double tap to wake device. I didn't have that on stock, locked U.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Double tap t wake is there on U. It came with the version before U even. It was with the 7.1.1 update
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jesssiii:
I could be wrong but I sure was surprised to see it in V. What may have happened is I set up the phone out of the box then after taking 2 updates I never went back to see any changes. Thanks, I've enjoyed playing with it on these days off, but will likely put back stock tonight. I'll use U.

Indeed, I was mistaken. Back on U, locked again :good:
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] FernBch:
I don't know if this helps or points to an answer but I have thw Verizon Pixel. I manually installed 26Q (via flash-all.bat) and , unless I shouldn't get an OTA notification, I have not been prompted to install the January update yet.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
26U came out in Jan. Did you root your phone?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] FernBch:
Yes, it is rooted. When I bought it I immediately unlocked but was still on NDE63X (VZW build). A couple days later I got the OTA notification but I ignored it, went straight to Google, and got 26Q. Since then I have received no more OTA notices. My thinking was the notice will come but because of root and TWRP any install attempt would just fail.

Thanks for the link but I downloaded it last week. Just been lazy and haven't updated yet. ?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
There you go. I try not to mess around with mine much now. I have 7 smart watches and it's a pain to have to factory reset them to resync every time I changed ROM. Now I'm just using PN, with ElementalX kernel, happy with battery lasting 26 hours.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
I was about to flash elemental. So it's definitely an improvement from the stock PN kernel?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
Well, I'll upset people for saying one way or another. You just flash and decide for yourself.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Downloaded. Any specific settings I should use in the aroma installer. Its been a while since I messed around with kernels.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] FernBch:
Best answer right there. Your milage may vary...

I myself have been holding off cause I wanted to be more "educated" because of the dual slot thing. Between the reading what others have come up with and my own research I'm about ready to dive in now....

Not sure as I haven't tried. I have, however, read about RR's from overclocking....
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
As part of my troubleshooting when flashing PureNexus, I manually installed it to both slots. It's working fine, but if I decide to go back to stock, is it enough to run the flash-all.bat or would I need to manually flash the stock images to both slots? I wouldn't want to lose out on the new OTA update feature if going back to stock.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
You just need to flash-all.bat once. You'll see the line-by-line execution of it. It will flash system.img to one slot, and system_other to the other slot. It'll know what to do with both slots.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mdecker79:
High brightness mode is currently not included in the stock PN kernel. That's one reason I have flashed one of the other available kernels.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:
Currently running PN newest build rooted in slot A and PN old build unrooted on slot B... Pass safety net on Pokemon Go in slot B but fail on slot A(which being rooted I expected). My question (or need of clarification?) Is I thought the dual slot shares userdata therefore this wouldn't work? Any help with helping me to understand would be greatly appreciated
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] piccit:
Root has nothing to do with data
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sokrboot:
so, I'm reading this article about dual slots and it says

Do I understand correctly that on stock firmware there is no /recovery partition like previous versions of Android? So then does TWRP create a /recovery partition or is TWRP able to integrate all that into the /boot image as well?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Correct, there is no separate recovery partition. Recovery is now part of the boot image. (Kernel) Twrp is also now part of the boot image in both slots.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sokrboot:
so is that why you *can* have stock/stock and PN/PN but *NOT* PN/stock (or stock/PN)? because the bootloader/recovery won't match?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] piccit:
I don't see why there would be issues with boot. TWRP puts itself in both boots. PN flashes it's kernel to a slot but I assume is leaving the other slot untouched.

If you have different bootloader versions in each slot, I don't know what that would affect. But you'd want them to both be on the newest version anyway if you were trying to use both slots.

The reason you "can't" mix em I think is all due to data. I would guess really just the dalvik cache, but I haven't tried myself. Since system apps get cached and PN and stock have different system apps, you'd want to wipe the cache every time you switch slots. There might be other things in data that get screwy based on the device ID -- I'm not sure, but I think that it would be different in each slot (unless you use something like TiBu to make them the same) so that may affect things like your login to your Google account.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sokrboot:
So what's to keep us from creating another data or user partition . Then you would have an A and B of all partitions and isn't that just like multi-boot? [MENTION=219023]golf[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
No, it's because both slots share the data partition.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
You definitely can create a 2nd user and have a different set of userdata. That was how I had it. One slot had stock unrooted with user A, the other had rooted Weta with user B, with completely different apps. It worked great; I just had to switch user AFTER that slot's system booted (it doesn't use the 2nd user by default). So I wrote myself a little app to auto-change user for me. However, however, however, these other custom ROMs like PN, Carbon, Dirty Unicorns etc cause some issues. Switching from a ROM in one slot to another ROM in the other slot created too many force closes, my app couldn't switch user without my having to manually acknowlege those FCs. Yet, at the moment, I have PN in slot A, DU in B, sharing the same user, and I can boot back and forth without any FCs. And I don't know why. I should be having issues switching between those ROMs, but I don't, and it's driving me crazy. It's not behaving like I anticipated.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sokrboot:
PN and DU are both completely deodexed. WETA is split odex/deodex. Stock is full odex. Perhaps the FCs are due to this difference? Neither PN nor DU would make a call for an .odex file so you wouldn't encounter any handling exceptions, but if you switch between odex and deodex ROMs they use different protocols to initialize apps and that could cause the system some confusion or conflict in a shared partition. Or not...I don't know...I'm a n00b! ;)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
H3ll, sounds logical to me. Of course, I'm not experienced with the packaging of ROMs, so I'll believe you. :o. I deal mostly with utilities, payment systems, that sort of thing.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] piperx:
Interesting, never thought of that, kinda like a Ubuntu .deb compared to a Debian .deb
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] kingkong0821:
So if now i am at slot a, with purenexus, elemental x, root

then in recovery with slot a active, i flash purenexus again it will flash to slot b

after that i have rom installed on both slots with rooted in a and unrooted in b

and is that by default after flashing rom it will boot to b that i should choose a to boot for root?

am i getting this correct?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] k.s.deviate:
Theoretically, but users in the PN thread have stated that dirty flashing PN over PN on slot A doesn't apply the ROM to slot B. It stays on slot A, i have tested this and for some reason its true.

This brings up my question, why would dirty flashing not make the partitions switch? And similarly I recently clean flashed PN to both slots and had to manually apply it to the opposite slot I was active in. IE, I was in slot A, wiped everything, flashed PN then TWRP then vendor and it booted in slot A.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sokrboot:
Dual Slot configuration is based on similar Chrome OS implementation...

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Bruce lee roy:
So basically it is intended to be used as a built in backup?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sokrboot:
The double*system partitions give you redundancy in the case of a failed update.*While running on system A, Android*will apply an update to system B. On reboot, the bootloader*will swap partitions and try to boot from system B. If the boot up fails, you can just restart the phone and*the bootloader*will switch*back to the working system A. Android can then connect to the Internet and work on fixing*the unbootable*partition by applying the update again.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Bruce lee roy:
It seems the most obvious utility for the development community would be to utilize one of the partitions a default backup location. Would be awesome if custom recovery could be modified to automatically alternate the partition on each flash while maintaining the option to make traditional backups as well. Perhaps that could also make it easier for developers to send ROM updates ota.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] piccit:
I guess it probably depends on how the zip is setup, but TWRP already flashes some roms (i.e. Pure Nexus) to the other slot
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] cowsquad:
I have tried to dual boot on my pixel. But since data is share it affects both slots. I had PN on slot A and RR on b. Also a data backup from PN. I restore it and obviously my apps were on both slots. So it cause problem on RR. A lot FC app and not sim detection. So I wiped data on both slots. Then RR booted fine, but PN would not. Anyways. So has anyone been able to successfully booted both slots?

I used this https://xdaforums.com/pixel/help/dual-booting-t3507924/post69834495

And I only have luck with the same thing on both slots. I have rooted PN on one and non on the other. I quit switching between the two. Kind of a hassle.

A strange thing happened yesterday. My phone OP3 was idle for few hours. When i picked it up, i saw that it had shutdown. On restarting it, I noticed that few of my settings had changed as below

Buttons swap : I had enabled it, but was disabled

Sound: Section System (Touch Sounds, Dial pad tones screen locking sounds) had been enabled from earlier disabled state

Gestures: All gestures disabled

I see no new notifications

I cant pull down the notification panel/tray. only see one line of shortcuts

Developer options menu is present but when i click it, I get message "Developer options are not enabled for this user"

My power long press options were reset to default (without recovery).

I cleared cache from recovery/launcher (oneplus) yet #4,#5,#6 are not fixed.

I found similar problem with solution for marshmallow but it doesnt work for me. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ton-settings-button-dnt-work.html#post5083902

Last option would be a factory reset. Anyone faced similar issue?

PS: I had clean installed OB9 and then OB10 OTA with stock recovery.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] EYT:
Hello lovely XDA-members,

this morning a new OTA update/patch came out for my OnePlus 3T, so I downloaded and tryed to install it right away. My phone is rooted on android 7.0 and I have TWRP 3.0.3-0 installed as my recovery. Normally (when I updated to nougat) after downloading a new update the phone reboots itself into TWRP and installs the update by itself, but not this time. I had to seqrch through my phone and had to install thw update manually. After that I rebooted the phone and it started booting the TWRP recovery again, I tried it again and again and again, nothint changed. So I tried to restore my backup with everything functioning, but this wouldnt help either. :/ I read the few existing threads with this problem and heard of a recovery flag that isnt cleared and the bootloader being the problem. One solution that I found was only for an LG phone and I'm afraid that I'll brick my brand new phone :( I have absolutely no idea what to do now, I would be so happy if someone could help me with this :$

I thank you in advance <3

How you can ''unbrick it'':

1. Flash a any rom available for the oneplus 3t via twrp

a. after this you will be still in twrp bootloop, to solve this go to step 2

2. Flash back stock recovery via twrp

Now your system will boot again

Optional: Flash back twrp

Hello,

i know there is plenty of this kind of threads. But i really need simple guideline , already tested way to root this device. I have rooted couple phones, (note3, sonyz3, galaxy s4, etc), but never this model before, or any model where i have to touch the bootlocker.

So, this is now new to me and looks like there is too many way to do that, and it´s confusing. This girls is on fire, at least my brain are :eek:

The phone is my 12 years daughters phone, and my son has also this phone, and the internal memory is straight from a...

So i assume, only way to solve this is root the phone and use the external memory as internal memory, right?

And what about this, have you tried this, is it valid way ?

(Tried to put url, but i am newbie, so i can´t, but what i ment is one click root, is it even possible)?

Anyway, can someone please give me a hand and tell me easiest way. The way which working and tested :)

I´ll appreciate this very much.

Have a nice monday all of you.
