It's not only on October update I had the problem with Sept too but only this week. Previously I could connect it fine without any issues. I'm an Android dev so I connect my phone a lot. Sultan kernel has the same problem and I think stock Oct has it too though I'm not 100% sure since I have trouble fastbooting stock at the time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Flashed the Oct Google factory image

Installed latest TWRP 3.2.3-1

installed Flash 3.14

Latest Magisk 17.2

Safetynet passes

preserve force encryption UNchecked

No USB / fastboot issues experienced

Hope this helps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Semtronix:
This actually worked. Toggling USB debugging on and off a few times seemed to make it function for whatever reason.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
I'm aware, I got it yesterday. At this point, I'm probably just going to stop developing for Android and just focus on working in mainline but we'll see. I have some changes queued up that may help, I'm going to run them for a bit then I'll release a test build after that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] infamousvincci:
What do you mean by stop developing for android and focus on "mainline"?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Recently, I've spending a large amount of my free time pushing fixes for warnings found by Clang to the master branch of the Linux kernel, which to me is more rewarding work than working on Flash Kernel (at the moment).

I'm probably not going to abandon FK, it's just really hard to get motivated when there is this issue, which I have no idea why it's happening or when it started and it's so sporadic that trying to track it down by using old builds will take a crazy amount of time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] infamousvincci:
I got worried all of a sudden haha. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Maybe stupid question, but is it cost prohibitive (time or effort) to roll back to some earlier build or build(s) and have some of us test each in batches? I'm assuming you don't have a way to reproduce it so maybe creating several test builds like 3 and 6 months old would help narrow it down? I'd be happy to test, but I've never seen any reboots so not sure if I'm a candidate.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
I can't imagine the work that goes into building a Kernel. But we all can understand the frustration when things don't work like the should without reason. Hang in there Nathan. You'll solve it. Version 3.14 is working Flawless for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sublimaze:
That sounds ominous. Are these "warnings" security issues? If so, and they are in the Linux kernel master branch, then every derivative of Linux is affected, right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
No, there have only been one or two instances where they could be considered true bugs but they aren't security issues. The warnings I am cleaning up are for somewhat obscure drivers that aren't used by most devices, all the warnings in the main files were fixed by Google a year or so ago and I had those fixes backported to linux-stable so they're all fixed. However, it's important to address all the warnings so that new warnings can be easily found during development so code quality is higher.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] People11:
Does this kernel overclock the cpu or GPU?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Lol no reason to feel bad, it's not your fault the kernel is messed up, it's mine. Also not to mention that you've done everything exactly right.

No.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Ding dong, ElementalX is your friend..

No but seriously, why do you even want to overclock when it is just creating placebo "improvements"?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
About the USB "bug" i managed to flash stock after a lot of patience and i can confirm for sure that stock kernel has it too.

To be frank i was pretty sure that this was a hw problem until i saw more people with the same thing as me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
Adjusting CPU settings creates more than placebo effect.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Overclocking on a SOC like SD835 isn't improving anything at all except from benchmarking results, when we got already got a CPU that is fast for literally everything, even with a minor underclock applied on the big cluster down to 1958Mhz. The real world results, caused by the OC:ing, will though show you nothing than battery life regressions and various thermal issues from the deepest pits of hell.

If you want to brick your phone - fine, then be my guest. But don't come back, complain a little and spit the kernel developer in his face for something that isn't even his fault.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lagarde:
This usb issue is killing me. The usb-debugging trick didn't work for me at all. Can't connect to computers, can't charge off computer usb...I'm guessing this is part of the fastcharge "fix" they pushed. It's funny, if I plug into a PC and watch Accubattery, it begins charging at full speed, then drops to -300ma after a few seconds. Factory reset/reinstall/stock kernel on the Oct update has same issue.

Going to roll back to Sept patch and see if that helps.

Edit: Well FML. I restored from a TWRP backup of Sept and it corrupted the whole System. Can't boot, can't fastboot (since there's no USB)...this doesn't bode well.

Edit2: Managed to get USB to work long enough to fastboot full restore of factory. September patch level, usb works consistently. Definitely something weird with Oct.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Currently running the latest everything, no Xposed, no scripts, just Oct image, flash kernel, twrp and magisk.

I just tried fastboot devices and my device was recognized.

When plugging in the USB cable to the PC USB port, my device is immediately recognized.

Not sure what's going on with those with USB issues, but logic and statistics would suggest if it's an issue with the Oct update, far more users would be experiencing the same issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
I don't OC. Flashing various Kernels works fantastic for me. Was just saying in certain applications, works for some. Thanks for thoughts. Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pvtjoker42:
Yeah, i was worried about the usb issue, i'd read about it a couple places in the thread.. but i did the Oct update earlier today, reflashed twrp, magisk and then 3.14 and everything is working fine. With the exception of i had to finally update substratum off 998 to get it to actually apply my theme.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Semtronix:
Mine wasn't even the October update. I was still on September and trying to fastboot update to October. My immediate thought was Microsoft did something with a Windows update, but I swapped boot drives to a basic Windows 10 install and was still getting errors thrown at me. In fact, I still get the errors after I "fixed" it, but the PC sees the phone even with the error spamming itself in my Windows notifications.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
With your phone plugged in, toggle USB debugging on and off and see if your phone is recognized. Otherwise, try updating your drivers, adb and fastboot in windows.

Of course, if you have TWRP installed on your phone you don't need your computer to update. You can just download the full OTA.zip image from google and flash it in TWRP, flash the latest Magisk.zip and your favorite custom kernel, reboot and your updated and rooted. If you don't have TWRP installed, that's on you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tornado15550:
For what it's worth, I've had no issues with the USB nor any random reboots on my device running the October 9.0 update. This kernel has been rock solid for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sublimaze:
Same here. No USB issues so far, running October update with FK 3.14, xFirefly93's script, Franco's Naptime & Servicely. Phone is fast & fluid, sleeps like a baby, battery life is stellar ?

Anyone else experiencing notification delays? Common problem with Pie? Figured I'd ask here as this is where Knowledge hangs out :)

I keep the phone on my desk next to me, but it seems notifications don't come in unless I pick it up and unlock it. Battery is great, but useless if I don't get notified of important things.

one question is the latest version v3.15 compatible with oreo? i try to flash it on oreo it said "this is unsupported configuration.." but success to flash. after rebooting and check in info kernel version it said "flash kernel wahoo v3.15"... so is it compatible with oreo???

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
It is and it isn't.... Or rather...

Yes it works and is compatible, it boots. But the kernel is tweaked and configured to latest Pie release and so such tweaks may prove incompatible with Oreo at any given time.

I'm also on Oreo and so far so good for me, if that at all helps. Performance is spot on as is battery life (see attached screenshot)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aryehzev:
I'm not sure why but on the latest security patch my phone was extremely sluggish especially when using Android Auto to the point where it was almost unusable but flashing this Kernel was a really easy fix, and now my phone is as buttery smooth as it should be!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MArtyChubbs:
Here is my best scientific attempt to explain the phenomenon. Google shoots out some sort of ray from Mountain View when the new Pixels come out, however, this kernel reflects the ray.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
My knowledge is thin on how a kernel fits in with an update from Google. I know when I do an update, I get a new kernel that I then replace with the Flash kernel which I mostly started using for functionality in TWRP. But I also have the impression that Nathan builds in security updates in his new kernel versions. So, how much crossover is there between just a kernel update and the one I get from Google?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MArtyChubbs:
Same patches and more functionality built in by using additional sources or updated code. I think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Not sure I entirely understand the question. Google releases security updates for the kernel which I merge in but I also merge in linux-stable and other patches in other releases.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
Thanks for replying. My underlying question was what would I be missing if I updated your kernel and did not do the factory images? Program and system updates? Franco kernel updates are so quick and safe. What would I be missing if I did yours when you issue them and did major updates on factory images? I continue to have trepidation each factory update I do though I have never had a difficult to solve issue. I'm not a bleeding edge user.

And thanks for your countless hours working for us, Nathan.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
You would be missing security/feature updates for the rest of the system. They're usually not numerous but you should do them as quickly as you can. It's up to you if you want to just do kernel updates and I do try to let you know if there is some incompatibility in the kernel that requires a full ROM updaye but I really wouldn't recommend just updating the kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ph@nta:
Not sure if this is an issue with the kernel or with FK Kernel Manager, but something keeps disabling adaptive brightness. I suspect it is FK Kernel Manager as it sets the brightness to some high percentage after reboot when it is granted su permissions. What I don't know is how to stop it. In the display section, nothing is enabled at boot, so I'm not sure what is resetting the brightness and disabling adaptive brightness.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
it's not FK, or at least it's not doing it to my Adaptive Brightness setting which stays on.

i've done zero settings in FK except using it to update the kernel.

if you think it's something you've done in FK, try deleting it's data or uninstall/reboot/re-install and see if that helps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ph@nta:
So apparently setting apply on boot for lower max brightness disables adaptive brightness. However, according to the app, the max brightness is still lowered after reboot without setting apply on boot.
