Did you ever actually unlock your bootloader, or did you just enable OEM Unlock in settings?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
ignore me it is unlocked.

fastboot shows it as unlocked

I am still getting stuck on downloading boot.img when trying to boot twrp

maybe i will give up and wait until I get home to use working laptop

same no way of installing twrp from android
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
You will be much better off working out this issue at home with your laptop unrushed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sn0warmy:
No issues here with XPS 9560. For what it's worth, I use the below linked USB-A to USB-C cable as I know USB-C to USB-C cables have had issues with Fastboot/ADB since the Pixel 1 days.

https://store.google.com/us/product/usb_c_usb_a_2?hl=en-US

The last thing I can recommend, which I'm sure is redundant at this point, is to ensure you have the most current ADB/Fastboot drivers installed on your computer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
yeah currently having to use a lg g6 usb c to a cable as my nexus 6p one is at home

annoying google left pixel 2 without usb a to c cable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigv5150:
What do you mean the charging cable is usb a to c
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
The charging cable I received was usb c to c.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
i mean Google did not supply USB C to A cable with Pixel 2 XL.

They did on Nexus 6p.

I solved my issue. Removed drivers and re installed but now if I flash twrp zip latest I get no touch screen.

So can only use it via fasboot boot.

I have the latest TWRP, Flash Kernel and Unofficial Magisk zips ready to go. I have TWRP beta 2 installed along with the earlier versions of the other 2. Can I just reboot into TWRP and then flash TWRP, flash kernel and magisk in a row and reboot or is there something else I need to do??
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Cowbell_Guy:
Any idea if installation of TW RP through the app in the Play Store is now functional?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Yes, that's the correct procedures. Flash the 3 zip files in that order and reboot without wiping.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

No, it is likely you will lose root. It force closes on me so I can't test it. Better to flash the TWRP and Magisk zip files in your current TWRP.

Answered my own questing by trying it. All good!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nldxda:
I don't get it? Do you need help with something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jon.StatiK:
Okay, I really need help. I'm so spoiled with my Nexus 6 and flashing **** I'm at a loss on how to properly update all this ****.

I need to flash the stock dtbo.img which is fast boot flash dtbo dtbo.img, then after that i need to fastboot boot twrp.img, flash the latest twrp to update it, then flash the new kernel and then magisk last. Correct? Do I need to worry about setting slot a or b as primary and all that extra stuff when I first rooted?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jrbxx7:
If you're trying to update twrp and already have twrp installed, just reboot twrp flash twrp zip and magisk zip. Worked perfectly for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Exactly, and if they're sporting a custom kernel just add that in too.

My routine was this. Reboot to TWRP beta 2, flash the latest TWRP and reboot recovery from within TWRP. It came up fine, no touch issues and took my pattern. Flashed Flash kernel 2.04 and latest unofficial magisk in the same session and rebooted. All good to go.

Only blip was I needed to reinstall the magisk modules I had and then flash viper again.

Interestingly enough, I tested out flashing the same kernel and magisk versions again over top of themselves and all modules were in place as well as viper working so who knows. All good here!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Sigh..so is anyone still having touch unresponsive in twrp , randomly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
When I first reboot into TWRP, it might take a few seconds to respond and once in a while it only detects the first dot I touch and reports a wrong pattern but always works properly after this. This is on both the newest version and the beta 2 before that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Yeah it happened to me before on both versions then suddenly started working again. Now it's not working tho ..weird
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
TWRP seem to be a bit slow and just responsive enough to function...perhaps it's due to the new system architecture and/or file set-up of 8.1 for the Taimen device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surge1223:
The touch issue in twrp stems from the fact that the touch module (touch_core_base.ko) is in vendor, while some kernels built it into their kernels.

This is likely the reason Dees says to be on stock kernel before flashing in twrp because if the modules mismatch and the init config for loading kernel modules is stick in the ramdisk, it will mismatch module versions.

TL;DR if you're on stock kernel and stock vendor you should have no touch issues in twrp
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
Yeah I flashed stock boot.img before flashing twrp and then I flash flash kernel and reboot back into twrp and still get no touch,

This never happened to me on 8.0 on flash.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
I am on stock kernel and vendor and still no touch after a thousand reboots and tries lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
lets hope it gets fixed soon.

for now I just boot into recovery via fastboot but its not a proper solution as if I need to access it without a pc I cant
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Savoury:
I just wanted to flash something, suddenly it's not recognizing any touch input. Strange. Tried it like 7-8 times now, no response.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Please see below.

Please see below

I think that your problems are in incorrectly installing the latest version of TWRP 3.2.1.

1. fastboot flash boot boot.img

2. fastboot flash boot patched_boot. img

3. reeboot and make sure you are rooted, install your Magisk.apk

4. fastboot boot twrp.img

5. In twrp flash your twrp.zip, kernel and Magsk.zip

Reboot and all should be well
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
better than on the Pixel C. using that TWRP is like moving in slow motion! :mad:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Did you change to F2s on the Pixel C. I tried it for a little while a few months ago and TWRP was extremely unresponsive. Went back and it works better.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Savoury:
What an hell of a complicated way to get TWRP running.

It's not that I recently installed TWRP.. it's that it suddenly stopped recognizing touch input. I haven't messed with it since.. dunno.. something at the beginning of the week. It worked 'till today. I just noticed when I was trying to flash something.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Takes about 5 minutes...not very complicated. But that is how it should be done, just my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
according to the OP if you already have TWRP installed then you should just flash twrp zip and be on stock kernel......which is how I done it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
OT: no standard filesystem on the Pixel C.

it's been pretty unresponsive (several second delay from screen / button press to a response from TWRP) from the start.

it's been discussed and a known issue . . . something with the graphic system, iirc
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
The same thing happened to me. I'd been on 3.2.1-beta2 because it worked and everything was cool, then today it stopped working. I then remembered that I took a Magisk update to 14.6 either today or yesterday. I'm fairly certain that's what broke TWRP. That's the only thing I can think of.

In any event, I just now did this to get back to a working permanent TWRP:

- fastboot TWRP 3.2.1-0

- flashed TWRP zip 3.2.1-0

- flashed ElementalX Kernel (not necessary I'm sure, but it's what I did. I was on the stock kernel before.)

- flashed Magisk 14.6 zip

- All is good, and TWRP is responsive again!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
I just flashed the 3.2.1.0 zip in TWRP

flashed Flash's kernel

flashed Magisk 14.6

Everything is up and running, SN passes, no issues at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You running any sound mods bro? :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
That's why you lost your TWRP recover. You need to flash the latest Magisk.zip in the same sequence in TWRP to have TWRP stick.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

That's the correct sequence. Good job!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Nope. Not worrying about sound mods until this thing is fully legit with Roms and the whole nine yards.

Just tether, and busybox modules

I skipped the fastboot 3.2.1.0 img and went right to flashing the zip (per TWRP instructions), then kernel, then latest Magisk. I haven't had any issues, and I rebooted into TWRP to see if it stuck or bootlooped, and I have 3.2.1.0 and no problems.

And I just realized I no longer have the "internal problem" warning any more on reboots... SWEET!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Hi, nice to talk with you again. I remember you from the Nexus 6 forums. I believe we talk in connection with the crazy Frankie 8.0 room thread that was repeatedly shut down.

Yes, the process you used worked fine for you, because you already had a working TWRP recovery installed.

Nice work!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
I had previously working twrp also. It just stopped working few days ago.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
So, install TWRP correctly using the steps that I outlined in post 1067 above. If you install correctly it will stick!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ocbooger:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surge1223:
We already have custom roms, problem is getting everything stable and root. OP says he gots root solved so there's that.

Currently flashing magisk doesn't work on custom roms, but building userdebug gives you xbin su and adb root at least. I think custom roms will start popping up after new years.

Luckily, both the payload.bin and fastbooting a modified system.img work granted that avb 2.0 is disabled, avbctrl and custom vbmeta Imgs allow us to do that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Oh ok well yeah I guess it makes sense since Oreo roms are still being heavily worked so might as well wait until most features and stable patches get merged I probably say we should see some floating around in January if not early February for sure . Can't wait lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gaeng4665:
Hi

I have a tricky one. I can install every mod, magisk and twrp fine. Twrp even sticks on boot. But i loose the touch capability all the time i boot into recovery except when i fastboot boot the recovery.

Does anyone know, how to get it to stick an not loose the touch capability when booting into recovery the normal way after flashing the zip file?

My procedure:

Flash stock image

Boot into recovery --> fastboot boot recovery

flash TWRP zip

flasch Magisk 14.6

reboot.

TWRP sticks but not usable due to the lack of touch intput.

And i have no idea what to do next to get it to work....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Try removing your fingerprint/pin/password lock screen security. Then boot into twrp a few times, then add your lock screen security again. Seems to have worked for some folks out there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gaeng4665:
Tried it like 5 times.

Removed the pin and fingerprints, but got touch never to work.

Real dealbreaker....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Are you on latest Twrp 3.2.1-0?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gaeng4665:
Yes on the latest version of twrp.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Very strange. I haven't had Twrp touch issues since the first Twrp release. Works every time on latest Twrp. Sorry I can't help more. Grasping for straws,

Have you tried a clean flash?

Tried a custom kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Then maybe try....leaving you lock screen set to swipe, fastboot the stock boot.img, then fastboot twrp.img, then once in twrp, flash the twrp.zip, then custom kernel if you wish, then magisk for root. Boot up, then go back to twrp and see if it's working. If so, add your fingerprint/pin again. What the heck, can't hurt to try :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gaeng4665:
Did all that, except for the kernel.

No luck, the touch feature is only working when i fastboot boot the recovery.

After flashing the zip and magisk, it boots fine, just no touch input.

Is there a non touch twrp recovery?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Bummer man. About the only left I can recommend is to try the older twrp beta2 version. Other than that, I'm stumped :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] azpatterson3:
I had the same issue. I ended up flashing Flash kernel. That fixed it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Just for laughs, install Flash kernel 2.04 or 2.05 in the mix and see if it helps. I am running 2.04 and the latest unofficial magisk along with the latest TWRP with no issues.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
my touch issue was solved if you flash kernel and magisk straight after twrp zip

if you flash twrp and reboot it will loose touch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gaeng4665:
Yes that did the trick. Flashing a kernel helped. But what if'd like to stay on stock kernel. Flash twrp and then boot.img, followed by magisk?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
That is due to user error. First fastboot boot into TWRP. Then flash in TWRP, sequentially, the latest TWRP.zip and latest Magisk.zip. Reboot and your touch issues with TWRP will be history.

You can flash a custom kernel in that sequence. But getting TWRP to correctly function requires the sequential flashing of the TWRP. zip and Magisk.zip in TWRP.

Of course, because you did not follow the above procedure.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] navalynt:
Don't try to flash the zips via sideload. The one time I was able to recreate touchscreen issues with TWRP was when I tried to take a shortcut after unlocking and sideload the ZIPs. Only flash them from internal storage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iamjimmy:
Quick question: MTP not working with TWRP beta- does it mean that MTP does not work in TWRP only or does it mean that MTP does not work in the complete OS? So we cannot do any file transfers using MTP (Usb-C) cable in Android, if TWRP is installed. Is this correct? Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
No, just the MTP built into TWRP. You still have data transfer via adb in recovery. Recovery/TWRP in no way changes file transfers while running the Android OS. Just enable USB Debugging and when prompted change from charging to file transfer. Then you can drag and drop files. One thing on the C-C cable, some people are finding A-C is more dependable for data transfer... depends on your cable and your PC's port.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iamjimmy:
Thanks for the detailed answer. Appreciate it. Then it's not a dealbreaker at all. I thought MTP was disabled in the OS itself. But if it's TWRP only, then it's ok as one can always use Adb Push/Pull or transfer files before booting in TWRP.

Also any problems with the latest TWRP version? I'm still on stock recovery, stock kernel but rooted with Magdisk. I was planning to flash stock Boot.img and then flash TWRP tonight along with Magdisk and Ex Kernel. For root, does one still have to patch boot.img with Magdisk or is it sufficient to just flash Magdisk.zip in TWRP? Also does Magdisk Manager need to be installed? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
You're welcome. Not at all. TWRP is out of beta now and I have used it extensively with no hiccups. No more need to patch boot.img. Flashing the zip file does it all. Some have reported that Magisk Manager wasn't installed, but I never had that problem. Besides if it ever did, you could either drop down to TWRP and flash again, or extract the apk from the zipfile and sideload it. Not a problem to flash TWRP and have a real custom recovery. I regularly queue up kernel and magisk with twrp and flash all 3 in one go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
no news on first custom rom that was teased on twitter on 22nd.

hope there is no set backs but seeing as we are close to January security update we might start to see 1 or 2 after that drops
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jrbxx7:
You can flash magisk in twrp it should install the manager if not installed.

Boot twrp

Flash kernel zip

Flash twrp zip

Flash magisk zip

All in the same session.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] EXV:
So as of now, can I just flash TWRP through Flashify (did that with all my other phones)? Or should I do it through fast boot? Everything is stock minus Magisk 15. I don't need TWRP but I know it's much easier to flash things through it should I choose to.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
No, plus TWRP overwrites Magisk so you need to be in Recovery anyway. Flashify was abandoned in 2015.... let it go man. :crying:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:

Reinstall TWRP by fastboot booting to your current TWRP and flashing the 3.2.1-0.TWRP.zip and latest Magisk.zip sequentially in TWRP without rebooting. Then, reboot to System without wiping.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hschreibz7:
Also having touch issues with latest twrp 3.2.1-0. I'm stock 8.1 rooted with current official magisk manager. As others have mentioned, touch issues only when rebooting to recovery through power button and volume. If booted through pc then touch works fine. Otherwise it won't register my touches. I tried your suggestion of flashing them sequentially. Still have the same issue.

Edit: I've tried all your recommendations from installing 3rd party apps to reboot to recovery to holding down volume down when restarting. Nothing works. I'm going to try a different kernel now for the hell of it. Thanks for all your help guys!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheGeekyNimrod:
I haven't had any touch issues with the most recent TWRP. I always go into it by hitting reboot in the power menu and holding volume down until the bootloader screen comes up.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sheth1nks:
Since cannot delete this post, I'm going to just edit. Suffice to say fastboot TWRP.img works. The flashed TWRP.zip does not respond to touch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] micmars:
Install Power Toggles or similar reboot menu that takes you to recovery from system without fastboot commands or hardware keys.

This might fix your issue.
