Do I have to be plugged into a PC and in a power shell for this?

Another problem I'm having; I can't get magisk to work with twrp. If i install magisk with these instructions https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-pixel-2-pixel-2-xl-install-magisk-0181117/ I can get it to work. That's without having TWRP on the phone. If I then try to flash twrp I'll get boot loop issues and have to wipe everything.

If I boot into the TWRP image on a wiped phone and then install TWRP I think it takes, and everything works. I can install the TWRP system app- by the way, do any of you do this or do you leave it as only being accessible through the bootloader recovery mode? If I then press install and look for the magisk zip it will go through the process and say everything went fine, but when I re-boot magisk is not on the phone! please help. I've been through a lot trying to get this working. I owe a lot of thanks to clothednblack for shooting tons of PMs back and forth to me, now I'm so close I can taste it, but I just can't get rooted!

The unresponsive screen had happened to me a couple times too. If I fastboot boot the img, then flash the zip again, it fixes itself. Have had to do it twice in a row but then it stayed fixed. For magisk, simply install the 14.4 zip in TWRP

Also, if you are getting boot loops, the easiest first step is to reflash the boot.img only and start over with TWRP and magisk install. You may have to flash both boot_a and boot_b. fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yourmghq:
I also have had one instance of the TWRP passcode screen no longer registering me touching it... Just fastboot boot the image and reflash twrp again.

I also have the same issue that if I try to install a zip with a .sh it says it can not mount system.... I didn't see any other errors than that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
guys twrp failed for me to flash

sending is ok but writing outputs an error ,no such partition

platform tools are up to date

any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
How are you flashing? Need to flash zip from TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
As i said i cant flash twrp via fastboot

If it's not flashed via fastboot i can't flash anything in twrp...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Boot twrp using fastboot, then flash twrp zip permanently in twrp after you temp boot it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jrbxx7:
U need to boot the twrp img from adb. then flash the zip in twrp to make it permanent

And i got ninja'd by a sloth ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
The steps are outlined in the OP.

Fastboot Boot to TWRP and then flash the TWRP Zip

Edit: double ninjad!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
Sorry.thought its like with my 6p.

I followed the thread a bit more and it seems to be clear now.

One more question.

Does anyone use substratum and was able to flash the rescue.zip via twrp?

Had system ui Crashes some day's ago with a substratum theme and had to start from scratch via flash all.bat in fastboot...very annoying without having twrp installed...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Next time just fastboot boot twrp and use the rescue.zip. No need to flash it permanent to use it. That might have saved you having to start over.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
Yeah.less time than to go clean.thx for that
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
No problem. All these things can be confusing. Glad to help.

I do run substratum on my pixel 2 xl but never needed to rescue.

If you need help with that feel free to pm me or post in that forum.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
Me neither.

I used to try luminous theme and the mess started lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jrbxx7:
Make sure the theme is oreo compatible and even better if it has a 8.0 pixel 2 option. Been there done that with Andromeda lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
Is it possible to flash fonts already via twrp?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
I have made my own Ubuntu font zip and flashed it via TWRP, if that's what you're asking.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
Im asking cause i have walkway flashable zip over here from 6p times.

Everything works for you?even the Lockscreen clock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
No, the lockscreen does have the square issue. I tried flashing the fix zip that they have posted, but it doesn't work. I've been trying to figure it out on my own, but haven't had any success yet. I do know how they fixed it, I'm just having trouble finding a good free font file editing program to make the change and save it. I'm not necessarily opposed to paying for a given program, but I'm not going to spend 40 to $50 just to make one change in one file and that's it. If I ever get it worked out, I'll let you know.

In any event, if the old zip you have doesn't work for the pixel 2 XL via TWRP, let me know and I can upload the zip I made, and you can just replace my files with your font files.

Although, now that I think about it, I didn't try putting that fix file in my own ZIP and flashing it. It's entirely possible that zip doesn't work for the pixel 2 XL, but maybe the actual file itself will work. I'll give that a try later on today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JimSmith94:
I just installed beta 2 on my Pixel 2 XL, did a backup, and the folder and all files are dated 1970. In settings the timezone is correct but the time is off by a few hours and minutes. I see where to change the time zone but not the time, date, or year. This worked correctly with previous versions on my original Pixel XL and all other phones I have used it on.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, so is anyone else seeing this, is it a known bug, or is there a way to set it to the correct time and date in TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Where is the rescue.zip stored in the P2XL, I don't see it.

Edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled Substratum, and now I see the folder with rescue.zip.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krweby:
Known issue I posted about it already. Most likely will be fixed after beta.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] djtosh:
Had twrp working for a few days but now getting this when I try to boot into recovery, do i need to re install?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
Yeah looks like it's gone, did you flash something else? A simple fastboot and flashing zip in twrp should be all you need.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
Can I hook up to my PC with a cord and save a back up direct to the PC or do I have to get one of those little dongles and ACTUALLY back up to a USB as the back up option states?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Just do the backup with twrp and it will store it on the int sdcard. Boot the phone back and hook it up to your PC to copy them off. Don't forget to change the us mode to file transfer.

MTP is not available yet. You can find the files in the twrp directory on the sdcard.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
Huh?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Sorry USB mode.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
Did I miss something? Is there a beta 2 now?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Yes, and it finally works for my phone on 8.1.0! Holds after reboot, and no touchscreen issues whatsoever so far! The time is off, and maybe the date too. I didn't check the date. It's already been mentioned so I assume it'll be fixed in the next release, but I honestly I couldn't care less about that. Just having it functioning is phenomenal.

I also just noticed that beta2 tonight. For better or for worse, it seems like you gotta follow him on Google+ to get news. I do follow him, I just don't check Google+ all that often.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an21281:
Yes, it came out the same day as beta 1. I also didnt notice until a few days ago...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
Should I update to it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
Of course. Read the op. There are touch screen issues it fixes, plus many others.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Enddo:
Touch Screen issue is still there for my Pixel 2 XL on beta 2. It seems random though. I've had it work when booting into fastboot mode then into recovery mode. i've had it work when using adb reboot recovery. and I even tested it one time by keeping the usb cable connected (which actually helped when it didn't work the previous time with the usb cable unplugged)

I dunno what is going on but I've gone through the process three times to make sure I downloaded the proper files and flashed them properly
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
When I do back ups through twrp do I need to do both partitions? I wanna have a copy of my rooted system. Does the backup do it automatically?

Do I need to compress it into a .zip after making the back up so it can be flashed in twrp if I do have to wipe the phone? Twrp needs to read the back up at reinstall as a .zip, right? The back up it currently generates is a big folder with lots of files in it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] djtosh:
Ok I have fastbooted twrp and reflashed and when I do this, my phone keeps booting into twrp instead of the system. The only way I have found to fix this is to reflash my patched boot image from magisk, this then boots into the system, but then when i try to boot into twrp i get this image again, can anyone help?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
After fastboot the TWRP image file did you flash the twrp.zip and magisk.zip in TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] djtosh:
Yep I did both of those steps, and still get stuck in a twrp boot loop

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Yep did both those and still get stuck
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
You probably flashed the twrp.img as boot instead of just booting it.

Reflash stock boot.img. then fastboot boot twrp.img.

I think you messed up by typing fastboot flash boot twrp.img.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] djtosh:
Nope its not that, i have entered "fastboot boot" each time temp booted and flashed the zip in twrp, have repeated it 3 times and same thing happens
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Anyone try twrp on 8.1 dp2 yet?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
You're doing it wrong. That's the only explanation.

Copy and paste your command prompt commands and output.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

I started from scratch.

Downloaded the factory image for DP2.

Flash all.

Set up phone (used cloud backup from earlier today).

Copy TWRP zip and Magisk 1444 zip to phone.

Boot TWRP.

Flash TWRP zip then Magisk zip.

Wipe cache.

Reboot.

Worked like a charm.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
It's working fine for me on DP2. Here's my sequence.

1. Removed the "-w" from the flash-all.bat so that my data didn't get wiped.

2. Ran the flash-all.bat

3. Didn't let phone reboot when finished. Instead, rebooted right back into bootloader. (I'm sure that doesn't really matter, but it's just what I did.)

4. fastboot boot twrp.img

5. flash twrp.zip

6. flash Magisk 14.5(1456) zip

7. done

8. All working good. No Magisk or TWRP issues even after reboots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GridironTrenches:
remove -w from the batch file to avoid wiping data?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bbrannack:
So i have another question now. When I double click the batch file all it says is fast boot is not a regonized command. I have fast boot installed right. I'm confused.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Fastboot must not be installed system wide. Put fastboot binary in same folder as flash script. Or put dp2 files into directory where fastboot is installed
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bd177:
Make sure you unzipped the dp2 file in the same folder that contains adb and fastboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
or add the Fastboot install location to the Path environment variable and then you should be able to access it from where ever you are in the directory structure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bbrannack:
I'm beyond confused. Lol. I have minimal and and fastboot installed. I was able to unlock my boot loader and fastboot boot twp image. It will not let me run this dp2. Super bummed. I've tried everything.

flashing lock_critical Prevents flashing bootloader-related
partitions.
flashing unlock_critical Enables flashing bootloader-related
