Yep. reflashed 3.1.1 beta2 for now. (Ended up have to reflash twrp, kernel and magisk to get it to boot, but...maybe I'm just that lucky)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Neejay:
Yep, same here. I'll check to see if anything was logged.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matt1313:
Same for me. Sat at twrp screen, back to beta 2
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] js042507:
Same here as well. Reflashing the beta will get you back up and running. Also, this issue appears to be the actual boot image, because it locks up even when trying to fastboot boot the .img file.

On 3.2 official I'm also hanging at the splash screen of TWRP. Going to flash back to beta2.

Thanks

After flashing back to beta2 I'm stuck in a TWRP recovery loop. I can't restart back to the ROM, it restarts back into TWRP every time. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PhoenixPath:
Not sure it's all necessary, but I reflashed kernel I'd been using, twrp beta2, and magisk in that order to get back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] js042507:
Try flashing Magisk after you have flashed recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arh2o:
Thanks, this solution worked! Once I flashed Magisk it booted successfully into the ROM.

For those that don't have beta2 or magisk on their internal sd card, I used the following to push onto my phone:

adb push magisk.zip /sdcard

Does flashing the .img file via fastboot or twrp beta2 work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Just flash the .img from TWRP? Did we need to re flash magisk afterwards or just the recovery?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
These imgs for twrp are only bootable. If you were to flash the one I fixed it would boot to recovery Everytime. But yeah you can flash it lol

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Can't. Bootable imgs only. Today's why there og pixel has two files as well. One to boot, one flash. It only needs to flash the ramdisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iluvamk:
So what steps did u take to fix it? Did u fix the image or the zip?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
Just fixed the IMG. Was working on making a flash but it still froze. I did it the lazy way. Unpacked it and found the missing .so file in /bin. Replaced and repacked it. The flash is a little different though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iluvamk:
Did u get the IMG to stick? Or just booted to it from fastboot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
Just booted. Can't flash these images. Phone won't start Android. Constantly boots to recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
I think we need to wait for them to fix the zip most likely.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Forgive me if I missed it but what's the difference between this current one that's not working and the first beta 2 zip? What's supposed to be fixed, if anything?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
I'm wondering this too. I hope this version allows back up to a USB that's plugged directly into the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
(Sorry if this was already posted.) Here's a change log from his Google+ post:

"#TWRP 3.2.0 is shipping now for most devices. We had a lot of devices fail to build and unfortunately I won't have time to fix those failed builds for several days. Bear with us and we'll get it all sorted out eventually. Sorry if your device was one of the ones affected.

I can check but I don't think it recognizes otg still
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
Is that planned at some point? Are these twrp recovery modes ever brought to the point of completion and full functionality? This is a snide question. It is sincere. I've never been involved in this rooting scene before this phone, and I'm genuinely wondering.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
Yeah they definitely are. But being a newer different phone than anything else it takes time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
I absolutely understand. I'll be watching. thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Lol, a bit!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Yeah, every jump in technology has a similar learning curve on our part. That and the ever increasing level of security.

I've been through the routine on:

Samsung moment

Galaxy S2, S4 (e4gt) and S5

Nexus 6

Nexus 7 and 7(2013)

Nexus 6P

And now this Pixel 2 XL.

The one take away I have is there have been brilliant folks developing for every one of those devices. Some are easier than others but most all have required something new to learn...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
What's the proper way to do TWRP back ups? Do we need to back up each partition and flash both zips in the event of needing a system restore?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ACiDxCHRiST:
I just completely wiped my phone (flashing unlock_critical) and flashed factory image without removing -w. I did fastboot boot twrp.img and then adb pushed my nandroid backup to my phone and then restored it through TWRP. The backup only had Boot, Data, and System. Once I booted, Magisk complained about dtbo and patched it and asked me to reboot. So if you are restoring Vendor for some reason, you might want to flash the Magisk zip before rebooting or else you might have issues with avb-verity.

Other than that, everything restored correctly. Working TWRP, working Kernel, working Magisk, working phone. Lockscreen security was disabled before I made the backup. After restore, I enabled Pin and registered my fingerprints and everything is working great.

You don't have to make separate backups of each partition, just select all the ones you want at 1 time. Boot, Data, and System should be all you need. You might want to select Vendor as well if you think you might make modifications to that partition at some point. If you don't plan to use Magisk or some other means of defeating avb-verity, then you would want to select System Image and Vendor Image instead of System and Vendor respectively. But your backups will be bigger in size.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
I didn't find this in the thread, but is it normal for this beta version (3.1.1b2) to not be able to boot into Recovery mode from Bootloader?... in other words I don't have access to either TWRP or the stock recovery now. Starting off, I fastboot booted TWRP img, then when it booted I flashed the TWRP zip above and went on to flash kernel and Magisk. Everything is up and working just fine, all my root apps work, no errors BUT now whenever I boot to Bootloader and select Recovery, the device reboots, then just reboots again to System. In effect I don't have any Recovery. I'm not alarmed and know how to regain TWRP, but it's just weird and I'd like to know if this is normal for the time being. If it is not the norm, I think I need to reflash the TWRP zip. TIA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
No, you should be able to boot directly into TWRP. Use simple reboot or similar rooted app. or reboot into TWRP from bootloader.

Try setting up again. Something went wrong.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ACiDxCHRiST:
That is not normal. I am using Snoke Kernel R15 and Magisk v14.5 and I can enter TWRP by selecting Recovery Mode from bootloader. Make sure you get the TWRP zip from the TWRP website and try again. If that doesn't work, try a different Kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
Ok thanks guys. That's what I figured. First I thought it was an issue with Quick Reboot Pro (root app) not being able to boot directly to Recovery, but when I couldn't even manually enter Recovery from Bootloader, I thought something was up. Thanks for the very fast feedback. Will get this sorted when 8.1 arrives. Cheers! :good:

Fastbooting the img file works. I had to use twrp to do a substratum recovery on my pixel 2 xl after dirty flashing 8.1. Systemui crashes. Boot up fine after that.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joeyddr:
what I did and still have all my stuff including twrp and magisk

download the latest 8.1 official and extract

edit the flash-all.bat file and remove the -w

run flash-all and let it do its thing

boot up into system login and reboot back to the bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

install beta2 zip and magisk zip

reboot

profit.

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

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] edgeicator:
On 8.0 november patch with magisk installed. Does flashboot booting twrp not work for anyone else or does it have to do with being on magisk and not completely stock kernel? Every time I do flashboot boot twrp.img, my phone goes to the battery charging screen instead of booting to twrp.

For some reason, when I was flashing a kernel.img I need to reflash the twrp.zip following the kernel u and then flash magisk after that, otherwise it would do the same thing you are describing. Not sure if it is necesary with kernel.zips but I have been doing it anyways so I don't run i to this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
Right. When I flashed from 8.0 to 8.1 today, I reflashed TWRP afterwards, but no custom kernel (because they're not built yet) and then Magisk. Now I have a persistent Recovery and everything is working. It's got to be something with the kernel, or the order in which you flash. It's either K-T-M or T-K-M. Or... its a beta TWRP :p Guess I will find out when we get kernels coming out based on the 8.1 source code. Cheers! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
You only have to reflash twrp if you use a kernel image; the kernel zip doesn't overwrite the partition.

Yes. If you forget and get stuck with a bootloop, you can always flash /sdcard/substratum/SubstratumRescue.zip in TWRP. It will disable all Substratum themes and fix your bootloop.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ACiDxCHRiST:
That is unavoidable with 8.1 + Magisk. It is because Magisk patched avb-verity. It is a harmless notification and safe to ignore.

I messed up installing 8.1 by not removing my theme overlays first. This should be an easy fix in recovery, however TWRP will not decrypt and says my password is invalid.

However, since you pointed out that /data is not encrypted, I am going to try deleting anything with 'SwiftBlack' manually in /data/app. Hopefully that will work...

Personally, I would wipe data from the restored setup that is not booting. If that fixes the boot up issue, then try just restoring the data partition again. Maybe delete cache? Did you have any themes installed when you backed up?
