Sorry to sound like a spaz...I forgot to mention that I also have TWRP 3.3.0-0 installed, but the instructions call for the previous ver 3.2.3-1. Do I need to downgrade, or is fast booting the older image temporarily during installation sufficient?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vochen:
Figured it out...used fastboot to load latest factory image (while keeping oem unlock), then reload TWRP 3.2.3-1. From there I could do a clean install for PixelDust 10.

battery drainage

Hi I am experiencing battery drainage as compared to the previous release.

Also I have another question, after rooting using magisk do you expect the bin files to change or be overwritten?

When I checked the bin files using X-plore after flashing the date is 2009 and then after a few days it became Jan 1970! All bin files are overwritten.

I checked the logcat and saw that vold is trimming data in /data /persist and making changes to the system files.

I have done a complete format using twrp wiped internal storage as well but this keeps on popping up.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Could you please shed some light on the following:

I flashed stock rom as well as custom rom for Pixel XL . I always root the phone. But after some time I can see the bin files are 'overwritten' like when I flash new the bin files have a date Jan 2009 and then later it becomes Jun 1970 !

I checked the logcats and I can also share them if you wish. Its something like, vold firing up fuse from /dev

and then vold finds keyrings and policy then creates user and folders in /data and /persist and then trims the blocks etc.

Somebody hacked my phone but after a complete format and reflash this thing pops up again.

Can a malware be permanently written to the bootloader ? I also tried flashing in rom in slot a and everything else in slot b.

I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Attention:

A user informed us that the GoogleCamera in the last ROM update has an FC after a few seconds. To fix the error at short notice without another ROM update, you can download the Google Camera APK here:

https://gitlab.com/Pixeldust-Projec...ary/product/app/GoogleCamera/GoogleCamera.apk

For installation you have to connect your device via USB and use the ADB tool. The "ADB debugging" option must be activated in the developer options in your device.

Enter the following command in the command line on your PC:

adb install -d -r GoogleCamera.apk

Ok thanks for the heads-up brilliant ??.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mavericksphinx:
You mean without recovery ? Could you please explain.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
1. Start your device in fastboot mode. Using the command terminal, you can initiate adb reboot bootloader, or you can reboot using the specific key combination for starting your device in fastboot mode.

2. Connect your device to the PC sing your USB data cable.

3. Navigate using the command prompt to you’re the folder where your files are.

4.. Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.

5. Once the script finishes the operation, you can reboot the device and see that you have a newly installed factory image.

Hi, Thanks a lot for the ROM. No issues for me in the new update except for the camera, as mentioned before.

I've only one small problem, I applied the update via OTA and assumed I have twrp on both slots- which wasn't the case. When I changed the slot and rebooted, the new update was installed but TWRP was gone.

What can I do now? Do I need to flash a stock ROM, temporarily boot into TWRP and so on...? Is there any possibility that I don't need to wipe everything?

Thanks a lot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SirRGB:
First You need Platform Tools and USB drivers in your PC.

You just have to boot your Pixel to bootloader, then type "Fastboot Boot twrp.img" (wherever you located twrp) on your PC (Platform tools). In Twrp you have to install twrp via the zip file (its on the twrp.me website (twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-xxx-x.zip)).

Done.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mavericksphinx:
I also used the fastboot erase and format commands but the boot and recovery failed to format it gave the error ( formatting is not supported for file system with type emmc) is this normal?

The radio and magisk files show 1970 date otherwise all files are same date.

Thanks !

Unfortunately, this does not persist past reboot. Trying to uninstall the app within Titanium Backup results in "APK not found". It would appear that camera 7.3 was pushed to the device, with portrait mode, which is causing the crash. I've temporarily moved to PX camera to have a stable camera.

Thanks, got it installed and I am up and swiping again...

On a side note... I found a NIB Pixel XL and it came with Android 8 on it...

1) I flashed Android 10

2) I realized that TWRP wont permanently install on Android 10

3) I read that TWRP will install on previous Android versions that were updated to Android 10

4) I flashed Android 9

5) I flashed TWRP

6) I managed to bootloop several times, finally got it back to booting

7) TWRP would not permanently install even on Android 9

8) I reflashed Android 10 and moved on with life

What did I do wrong?

How do we take the updates for PixelDust in the future (since we don't have TWRP permanently installed)?

Again, I love this ROM, and I stayed with the Pixel XL just for it, I hope that the Pixel 5/4a will bring back the fingerprint scanner and maybe you will support it =-) Thank you again!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
(1) Which version of TWRP are you flashing?

(1) What method are you utilizing to permanently install TWRP [be explicit]?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] drmalenko:
TWRP-installer-3.4.0-0-marlin.img and TWRP-installer-3.4.0-0-marlin.zip

I copied the zip to the phone, then used fastboot to boot TWRP-installer-3.4.0-0-marlin.img, "install", selected the TWRP-installer-3.4.0-0-marlin.zip, then slide to flash.

It did give errors once or twice, but the last few times it showed completed with no errors, I then chose reboot>system, and then the bootloops would start, so then I would go back to fastboot>flash-all>flash marlin-qp1a.191005.007.a3-factory-bef66533 (the OEM image), then try again with TWRP, I finally gave up as TWRP would never persist.

I did also try TWRP 3.3.1-3-marlin, but of course it didn't work either.

I also tried this after flashing back to Andoid 9, neither version of TWRP would persist, only give bootloops...

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
[ADB] Method 1:

Copy TWRP zip and Magisk Manager apk file into phone’s internal storage.

Reboot your device into bootloader by typing the command in CMD:

adb reboot bootloader

Check the slot which is active by typing the command below:

fastboot getvar current-slot

Select the non-active slot and change slot-name with actual slot name (delete inverted commas also).

fastboot --set-active="slot name"

Now flash the TWRP on your device by replacing the recovery-name.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img

Now reboot the device from TWRP Recovery, and select the previously active slot by:

fastboot --set-active="slot name"

Now Go back and Install the TWRP Installer.

Once done, then reboot.

[ADB] Method 2:

Temporarily Boot into TWRP

Now, you need to take the TWRP image file (twrp.img) you downloaded earlier and transfer it to the platform-tools folder on your computer. You also need to copy that same image file to the "Download" folder on your phone's internal storage. Once those are transferred to the correct locations, you then get to run a code that will temporarily boot you into TWRP.

With a command window opened up within the platform-tools folder, type the following command, then press enter.

fastboot boot twrp.img

Once you enter the command, your phone should immediately respond and begin temporarily booting into TWRP for the first time. Pixels use the more current A/B system partition format, which is why you have to temporarily boot into TWRP the first time to install the permanent version from there.

Permanently Flash TWRP:

Head back over to the TWRP screen on your phone and swipe the slider that says "Swipe to Allow Modifications" if needed. Now you should be sitting on the TWRP main menu where you can then go into the "Advanced" section. From there, tap the "Install Recovery Ramdisk" option, and finally, navigate to the "Download" folder where you copied the TWRP image file.

Tap the image file once to bring up the "Install Recovery" main screen and check the "Back up existing image first" option to backup your current recovery for safekeeping. Now slide the "Swipe to Install" button at the bottom to begin installing the permanent version of TWRP onto your system partition. After it finishes installing, press the home button, go to "Reboot," then "Recovery".

Your phone will now reboot into TWRP once again; however, you'll now be in the permanent version rather than the temporary one. At this point, you can disconnect your phone from the computer and go on your way doing whatever you wish in recovery mode.

At least for sailfish, TWRP is too large to install on recovery ramdisk for Android 10 roms. Was able to install it after flashing king kernel first then in TWRP install recovery ramdisk and use the .IMG file.

Shouldn't use "fastboot install boot .IMG" cause the TWRP boot image is built using Android Pie sources. So if you want it installed the only way I know is to temporarily boot TWRP. Flash king kernel. Then use TWRPs ramdisk recovery installer and select the TWRP IMG file
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
Were you able to get TWRP to install permanently utilizing your method?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hairycheez:
Yes. But when you update the ROM, will need to do the process over again to install it on the new boot slot

Edit:

Actually, once you have Magisk, KingKernel, and TWRP installed, you can take a backup of the boot.img with Franco kernel or something. Then use that boot IMG when you install recovery ramdisk in TWRP

Dumb question for the group. I saw mention on a Verizon boot loader unlock group for pixel1s, about a problem in the kingkernel that can brick the device. Now I certainly would not worry about a soft brick. I searched and did not find anything out of the ordinary especially hard brick mention . So was this just old information, repeating urban legend, or is there some truth to it?

I really like this rom and it's running great on my xl. Thanks for the words of wisdom in advance!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
Don't flash anything that's not made specifically for your device, unless you know it's compatible. Otherwise, you can always utilize Fastboot and ADB as a resource to resuscitate.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] n3kf:
Yeah I know that. But the quote was there is a problem with the kingkernel, which this ROM uses, that can brick pixels. So that's the specify reason for the question. I can't find any evidence of that by searching.....

What exactly do you want to make known here? PixelDust has been using the same kernel version for ten months, namely KingKernel. So far there has not been a single problem.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] n3kf:
I don't want to make anything known. I saw a post on another Pixel board of a poster Telling another not to use any ROM with the kingkernel cause it could brick the phone. So asked a simple question which I think you answered.

I'm quite Happy with the ROM and thank you for your work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] drmalenko:
How do you flash king kernel? Sorry if that is a noob question...

I flashed Android 10, Fastbooted TWRP, flashed Magisk, but flashing TWRP would never "stick"... So it appears that I am not flashing "king kernel".. How do I do that so that I can permanently install TWRP?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hairycheez:
Flash this Marlin zip in TWRP to install king kernel. Then install TWRP IMG using TWRP ramdisk recovery install option. Don't use the TWRP installer zip file. Then flash Magisk.

https://github.com/King-Kernel/KingKernel-Releases/tree/marlin
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
Does this method survive reboots?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hairycheez:
Yup.

One more thing. When you install the recovery IMG it automatically tries to install it to both boot slots on the phone but will fail on the second slot because the kernel isn't installed on that one. So after installing TWRP I'd reboot into current slots new TWRP recovery then install Magisk.

When it fails installing on the second slot it might automatically set itself to boot on that slot, so make sure you reselect you're current slot when you reboot. If you're on slot a and it fails installing to slot b, might need to go to Reboot in TWRP, select slot b, then select slot a, then reboot into recovery.
