[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrGneissGuy:
I flashed this kernel several times and each time the phone hangs on the google screen.

I've tried all 4 versions (Snoke-R1-P2.img through Snoke-R2-P2.img)

I've tried the following flash methods

fastboot --slot a flash boot Snoke-R#-P2.img

fastboot flash boot Snoke-R#-P2.img

Each time I reboot after flashing, my phone hangs on the google splash screen.

Flashing boot.img from the stock rom fixes it.

Do you have any suggestions of things I could do differently?

Thanks.

When you unlocked your bootloader, did you also unlock-critical? As in, not just "fastboot flashing unlock" but "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"

Second, just double checking, you have a pixel 2 non-xl, correct? The P2 imgs are for the non-xl, the Snoke-R#.img ones are for the xl.

Your sdk platform tools must be out of date? They were just updated for pixel 2 devices.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JeffBea:
Thanks for the heads up, that fixed the problem. Yesterday I did try to update Platform-Tools through SDK Manager and it was failing checksum for the latest update revision 26.0.2 and refused to update. So I just found the latest update files and manually replaced the files in the Platform-Tools folder.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
Are you serious? I need to do unlock_critical to make this kernel work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
No you do not.You can flash anything you want except a bootloader. I am still trying to find out if we need unlock critical to flash a factory image or if the new platform tools update for Pixel 2 devices eliminated the need to unlock critical? I see im just going to have to lock critical and do it myself. Or did someone flash a factory image without unlocking critical?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
I am on the Google dev images site and it says it may be necessary.

I just set up my phone but, I'm thinking I should just do this because I use those images all the time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
I unlocked the bootloader and critical. Can't hurt. Just trying to confirm if critical is necessary after platform tools update
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chazall1:
From the https://developers.google.com/android/images

Read Bottom of #4

I just did it and all good with changing the bootloader. I had issues with the bootloader not flashing

with : fastboot flashing unlock.

For some devices, for example, Pixel 2 XL, the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command:

fastboot flashing unlock_critical
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Then it's another necessary step. You are on latest Platform tools? Thanks for confirming. Alot of noobs will be lost. Lol I didn't read the instructions either the first time. Too cocky. I was like Wtf is going on here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 21cdb:
I had to do unlock_critical on my 2 XL, unlock didn't work. After I did unlock_critical the phone booted up and after going through the setup process it says the bootloader is unlocked so I guess everything is fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
Which is the proper one to flash for pixel 2 xl on 8.0.0?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
I would suggest Snoke-R4.img

Anything with P2 is for baby pixel. R5 is overclocked.

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

I don't think we can flash a bootloader or factory image without it. Everything else you can flash without unlock critical.

System img ,vendor boot etc...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
I went ahead and did the unlock_critical. It's Sunday and I have devoted the day to set the pixel up the way it needs to be.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
I hear you. Im getting real tired of wiping. Ugh. Lol I am leaning towards we need it anyway to flash a bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DespairFactor:
R6 is up with EAS upstream merges:)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheDude:
My understanding and experience is that the only reason you would unlock critical is for some very low level experimental and risky bs. What I believe our collective goal is; is a custom recovery (twrp) and a root solution plus custom kernels etc such as this... Why would one expose the bootloader to injection, vulnerabilities, etc? Is it not incrementally updated with signed and verified images provided by Google? If this were a carrier locked situation (Verizon) I could see the point, but I don't see the need running a Dev device sanctioned by the manufacturer. You are essentially eliminating the "last line of defense"... I would error on the side of updating your fastboot executables whatever means you feel necessary and avoid not only an additional device wipe but potentially (more like inevitable) risky behavior of having an unsigned bootloader flashed to your device. They call it critical for a reason. Leave it alone for Christ's sake. In this particular forum it's unnecessary, foolish, and rather ignornant to do so without valid reason. Relock critical and figure out the real reason you are having problems flashing this kernel. It has nothing to do with unlock critical I assure you... These comments/suggestions are irresponsible belligerent BS and they should stop. That's all I have for tonight :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DespairFactor:
The unlock_critical is meant for separate bootloader images, not the entire bootloader as that is checked with signature iirc when flashed. unlock_critical existed before the pixels and was used to flash only specific bootloader pieces such as trustzone.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

Straight from Google's factory image page, there is a note, just for Pixel 2 XL only, stating that the critical partitions "MAY" also have to be unlocked.

https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheDude:
I hear ya. I read that as well. In my 10+ years of Android experience I have only had to flash modified bootloader's a couple of times. And it was more of a matter of preference not necessity (except once.) I never found a situation with the 6P that required it. Regardless​, my post may have been a bit over the top and I apologise for that. Not trying to feed the fire. It was late and I had to many. I was simply trying to accentuate the fact that 99.9% of the time it is not necessary and poses a valid security risk. Your kernel flashed just fine for me with stock bootloader's as it should. Just trying to save some folks the time, headache, and trouble. Having said all that, I recommend re-locking critical and update your fastboot binaries.

Thanks for the kernel build man! Running great here!

I'm not working on twrp since I know very little about encryption and don't want to **** up mine or anyone else's device.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
Well as long as you never put a pin/pattern in it's decrypted. So make a rom flash via decrypted phone and setup everything they way you want it no pin/pattern either. Then boot twrp, backup. Then setup pin/pattern. And copy backup of course. If you need to recover. Factory reset and recover via twrp????? Lol
