I still need to flash May Stock, and then flash both boot_a and boot_b boot.img, flash TWRP and VBS on both boot.img

Troublesome but everything (including Magisk and SafetyNet) works now.

Don't know if this is the problem of the theme or the ROM, please check the attached pictures.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
Strange. There are some apps avoiding to run when ROOT is detected.

Those apps could be run with Magisk-Hide enabled, but not after updating the ROM.

In Magisk SafetyNet is passed. Some apps can still be run, but one fails.

The app is not updated from PlayStore recently.

Does anyone has any clue?

I have just tried to restore an app from Titanium.

Titanium said "restore", but I cannot see the app, even with NovaLauncher restarted.

I decide to cleanly flash everything again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Which theme is it? We didn't test all themes, but the dudes in my crew have different themes installed. We never faced this specific issue. I guess it is theme related. Are you able to reproduce this with other themes, too?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
This theme:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flux.substratum.theme

I will confirm everything again later after I have flash the ROM cleanly again. ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:

I have just flashed April stock rom onto both slots.

After that, fastboot boot twrp.img, and twrp splash screen flashes without really going into the user interface.

I have no idea what I have done wrong.

May anyone please help :(

By the way, I have read this thread about flashing back to the stock:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-update-fastboot-t3498187

If I follow those steps, I see errors. There are vendor_a/b and modem_a/b on my Pixel-XL.

Is it normal?

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Okay I am dumb...

Recently I have upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 17. The ADB and FASTBOOT downloaded by APT is outdated.

So both slot-a and slot-b are not flashed correctly from the very beginning.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Are you coming from Dev preview 2? Thats the behavior I had when booting Twrp on DP2. I would flashall. bat the factory images to both slots. When you switch slots use,

fastboot --set-active=a or (b)

Sounds like you have residual images lingering in some slots?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
I have found that set_active _* does not work, and then the fastboot from apt-get is too outdated :crying:

fastboot from Ubuntu 16.04 is fine, but 17 is not...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
I use up to date Google sdk platform tools. I wouldn't use anything else. If I were you, I would clean flash factory images to both slots. Usually fixes everything.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
Yes I clean flash the stock onto both slots, but the outdated fastboot fails to handle slots, so I always got error :eek:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Are you booting the the right Twrp image? Twrp marlin 3.0.2-0 RC1 img. Works every time for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
Okay I have gone through the steps like these:

- flash MAY STOCK-ROM onto both slots

- fastboot boot TWRP.img on slot-b

- flash rom, flash TWRP, flash VBS.zip, reboot to recovery

- (bootloop as expected), manually reboot to bootloader, fastboot twrp.img on slot-a, flash TWRP, flash VBS.zip, reboot to recovery

- flash GApps, WETA-Emoji, Magisk, TWRP, VBS.zip, reboot system

Magisk works, SafetyNet works

(ADDED: Although SafetyNet check passes, Magisk-Hide seems to be failing. Apps can detects ROOT)

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
Just flashed RR with Magisk. The app I talked above works fine.

My Pixel-XL is now on May bootloader as well.

So I suspect latest Pixel-Dust does not work with Magisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
Maigisk works just fine for me on the latest build. I am not on the May bootloader however.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
All 3 status in Magisk Manager goes green.

But those app refuses to work with root still detects root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Magisk isn't going to 100 percent be able to defeat root in every instance.

Since your magisk is for all intents and purposes working, you should look for threads on those specific apps as it relates to hiding root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
It works before I upgraded to the latest Pixel-Dust, and latest RR.

So I suspect something breaks Magisk in the current Pixel-Dust build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Without logs or app names it hard to be of any help. Mine is working with android pay as we speak.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:

These 3 apps are for online payment.

All of them can detect root even checked in Magisk-Hide.

Magisk-Hide used to be working on them before.

com.octopuscards.oepay

com.octopuscards.nfc_reader

hk.com.hsbc.paymefromhsbc

If you can run them without any problem, then I should have done something wrong during flashing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
HSBC opens to the main screen. I dont bank with them but I can at least get to the registration/log in screen.

Octopus NFC reader says my device may be rooted but opens

O! ePay got me to the log in screen but didnt mention root.

Edit: Forgot to enable magisk hide on O! ePay
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
For me, opening HSBC app, it warns immediately, and signin/register is not click-able.

Do you see root warning? Can you click signin/register?

It is strange that some app can detect root, some cannot.

As far as I understand, Magisk unmount something related to root (maybe the customized /sbin/) on-the-fly when the app run.

And in my case, unmount fails, but not reflected in the log.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
No immediate warning with HSBC, lets me select both options.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
I think you have got the HSBC one works.

Magisk-Hide works on this.

But Magisk-Hide does not work on the other two.

The NFC reader is made by the same developer with OEPay.

It officially works even root is detected.

But OEPay does not work with root.

It is good to use the NFC reader as reference.

May I know if you are using the Pixel-Dust 20th-May build, May bootloader, Magisk-v12 and VBS-v6?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I am on the build from the 20th. April bootloader, Magisk 12, no VBS-v6
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
Maybe because of May bootloader :confused:

Everything works well for me on April bootloader
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You're a fastboot flash away. Give it a try, Im curious to see if it helps.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] y2kbugleung:
I am on RR with May bootloader now.

I will try it again later.

If start flashing now, there will be no sleep. ;)

Anyone having an issue where the phone does not charge rapidly on this rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
I have seen a couple of other reports on this. I haven't really checked it thoroughly, but I do see it charging rapidly. I don't know how consistent it is? It also depends on where your current battery percentage is. Idk exact percentages, but I think it is slow above 90% and should be fast below 50%? Anybody else can confirm rapid charging percentages?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mike489:
Am I able to dirty flash if I'm running the April bootloader or do I need to upgrade to May?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Should not need to update to the May boot loader.. Im running it on april right now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mike489:
did you just have to flash the newest version of the rom, twrp, and root?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
It's been awhile since I researched how this phone rapid charges. I believe it doesn't stay fully rapid all the time. It goes up and down.

It's definitely working, but doesn't stay rapid all time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Thats a simplified synopsis but thats basically it. No additional zips
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] encephalon9986:
Then why am I at 28% and with the charger my phone comes with on the lock screen it says charging slowly? I have never seen this issue on any other rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Stock kernel?

Every time the stock charger is plugged in?

You have verified you don't have this issue on other roms?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
The only thing I can say is compare it to another rom or flash factory image and compare it to that. Try this app.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alcolawl:
Can confirm this happens to me too. It struck me as odd the first time I noticed, as I was using the charger and cable that came with the phone. I downloaded Ampere and it was charging at over 3000 mAh, so I chalked it up as a minor bug.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:

Is anyone else having issues with the USB Debugging authorization prompt showing up? I can't seem to get adb working with my PC since the prompt won't appear.

Also, the "Revoke USB debugging authorization" option seems to be missing inside of Developer options.

Other than that it's working great.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
I am aware that the USB debugging authorization prompt won't show up. In order to get adb to work you are required to start adb sever in your PC with root permission. Please check the 2nd post for more details.

The pie control on PA work well, are simple and do exactly as they should, replace the nav buttons in emersive mode.

I don't see what's half baked about them aside from no quick way to double tap to bring an app back and Google assistant is a little cumbersome. Given its a first build it's a stable one.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Nothing wrong with choice.

Also some people don't need everything lmt offers. I need the nav buttons to just do what they do now but stay out of sight.

Difference is it's a setting tucked away somewhere. Nothing else I need to install or ever really configure.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Good thing about LMT is that it doesn't require a deep integration with the OS and it can be simply installed on demand.

Have you heard about the renewed PA Pie control which has been reimplemented to better fit to the Android 7 look& feel.

See screenshot below..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reuben_skelz92:
It's cool. But it's still too cumbersome and takes another unnecessary step to click back/recents
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I gave it a run. I wish it was quicker to respond, even with the animation adjusted but I think it's a very smooth non-intrusive implementation. Also any pie would be good for those worried about screen burn in

Newest build running great. Only bug I found is immersive mode is a bit funky. It will hide the status bar/nav bar and gives you hard time getting it back
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I can't say because I'm not in the habit of using it. I usually install the apps from the Play Store that I want after going through the settings. I tried it once or twice and it seemed kind of slow to me. I turned it on but I don't see that anything was restored although the only thing in my drive folder that I see that is backed up are some sms files. Nothing in my Messages app was restored, data or settings.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Well, you can't say that it's a bug. We are still missing pie control which would be replacing the bottom navbar while being in immersive mode.

There is a simple trick to access the immersive mode quick tile while being "stuck" in full immersive mode. Go to Settings / Gestures and turn on "Swipe for Notifications" which will allow you to bring back the notification drawer on swiping down on the FP sensor.

P.s.: I'll be thinking of a more intuitive way to turn off immersive mode..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reuben_skelz92:
It must have been late when I flashed it cause I can't believe I didn't think of that!! I use the fp swipe all the time lol.
