That's been normal since the first beta. Don't think there have been any solutions announced. Everything still works despite the error.

Edit: don't think backups work though. Everything but in my experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Your likely going to have to wait for the TWRP team to update it to be fully compatible with A10. I too have TWRP 3.3.0-0 installed, and while it throws errors with flashing zips, it still works :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
I was able to backup boot, system image, vendor image, data and efs but haven't tried restoring.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram31363:
I did a clean load of 10 and can't flash with TWRP. I can side load TWRP and when I go to flash (anything) I get the following errors: "Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument) and "Failed to mount '/vendor' (invalid argument)" I've searched and can't find the answer so any/all help is greatly appreciated! I was running standard G-9 with Sultan/TWRP/Magisk/Gravity Box.... I am running on 10 without any mods for about 12 hours now and all is well, but...

Odd, but like others I get errors but get root as well so I guess I'm good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Yep...your good. Until twrp and magisk are updated, the error messages will continue. But hey, at least it works :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] enormous:
On Android 10, TWRP 3.3.0-0 installed. Having a couple of issues (besides the /system mounting one described above, which I also experienced). First issue is that I can't decrypt my partition if I have a pattern set. Second issue is the screen sometimes becomes unresponsive while in TWRP, and I have to hold down the power button to reboot. Keeping my fingers crossed that these can be solved with a TWRP update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] imaverik:
Android 10 is not the issue.

I have not had any issues with 10.0.0 yet. flash-all with data wipe. 10 runs great on my 2 xl. no app issues.

TWRP 3.3.0-0

magisk canary beta/app beta also.

Elemental X

Disable all screen lock and fingerprint settings, reboot and you will have no issue to decrypt and flash in TWRP... then just re apply your security settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] johnlgalt:
I opted, instead, to cleanly flash the April build of Pie, which TWRP 3.3 *can* decrypt even with PIN / PW / Pattern enabled, then take the Q10 OTA on top of that.

So there are multiple ways to get this worked out.

As for mounting \system rw - better do some reading through the forums.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
John,

If you dirty fllash to Android 10.0, as long as you don't wipe or disable your security, you will be able to decrypt in TWRP 3.3.0 and Android 10.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] johnlgalt:
Uh, that 's what I did :D

But I was also running the entire set of the ßeta builds, and I cleanly installed both ßeta 2 and ßeta 5, hence my need to flash (April) Pie first - the first clean install broke the decryption.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Curious if I can backup data from my current clean install of Q then go back to April to get decryption working then restore data after coming back to Q.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
No, because restoring your data will break TWRP decription.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Yeah I figured that would be too easy. I'll just suffer with removing pin until custom roms come out and I'll start fresh again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gazdajezda:
Hmm, at the moment mounting /system/ RW is not possible, at least i cannot find the option how doing that...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IlyaKol:
Wouldn't say it works. Some stuff doesn't. For example, mounting system for those of us who edit build.prop does not. Therefore, on A10, no hotspot for youuu *Seinfeld Soup Guy*.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IlyaKol:
Well, I'll be...good work finding that and thank you for sharing. Can confirm that this works on a dirty upgrade (A9 -> A10 via full image flash without -w) + latest Magisk Canary (19.4somethingsomethingsomething).

I also did mine this way. Although I didn't have to do the global tether command. Just the props net provisioning and setting it to true.

Anyone have issues decrypting on slot A? I tried to flash a ROM but when I got to fastboot boot into TWRP, it had trouble decrypting. Had to switch to slot b to save the data.

Then I tried to flash the twrp zip again on slot B, and tried the switch slots but again same issue.

Have set the phone to None beforehand so no passcode needed.

Any help would be appreciated on how I can decrypt slot A.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Slot A decrypts same as slot B, at least for me. There may be something wrong with your phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Happens to me with 3rd party ROMs. Staying stock I could decrypt both slots until messing with ROMs. Lol

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gazdajezda:
Hi!

I also have that error (Android 10, last Twrp & Magisk - doesn't matter which version), only in my case i think it is something wrong with Magisk (root), because Titanium backup (from the store, fresh) just return black screen. If i uncheck root perm in Magisk then it work (complain about root and rest), but with checked root permission in Magisk, it only show opening screen, black without anything. No matter which Magisk i use, it's the same. This is on wife's P2XL, is it maybe Verizon version - i buy wrong one? Thanx for any answer.

P.S. - ehhh, after buying a TB license everything is ok. So, dismiss my message :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bverns88:
Download the factory Android 10 zip from Googles website and extract the boot.img. Use adb to push the boot.img to the phone. Download magisk manager on phone and click install. Pick the option to patch the boot.img file. Use adb to push the patched magisk boot.img back to the folder where your adb fastboot is.Then boot into bootloader and flash the patched magisk boot image. Reboot and magisk will be installed. I did this and had no errors.

TWRP

Thanks for link. I have TWRP(somewhat crippled on Android 10) and rooted with Majisk and just finally got viper working. Would be nice for the other things not working like backups etc. . If and when it happens will be great if not it is what it is. Only going to keep getting harder. I fear Google wants to make this next to impossible. But Dees Troy and XDA and the Devs do amazing things..:) --- P.S. to Dees Troy congratulations and best wishes to you and your wife on baby..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] simplepinoi177:
If you don't mind me asking -- and hopefully I can be forgiven on the somewhat off-topic inquiry -- but how were you able to get viper working? If anything, you if you could simply point towards the resource you worked off of....thank you!

As far as waiting for it to happen....I honestly never thought there would

EVER

be an exploit and root possibility on the bootloader locked pixel 2 verizon variant! And, even though it took more than 2 years, even that eventually happened! So....you never know!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shaunnicho:
I was surprised how hard Google made pixel to develop...I had a couple of nexus back in the day and Google were brilliant back then
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigv5150:
So true I remember when root and recovery was almost instant and guaranteed, even Verizon phones. Those days are gone it's harder and harder. I just traded in a pixel XL and got 450 from Verizon it killed me but just to good to pass up. My pixel 2 xl is unlocked and I just realized all I'm doing with root is moving the clock to center custom kernel and titanium backup. Not really using it anymore i mean I have swift installer and since all the apps are dark themes now Im using it for two apps. I used to have the system themed and about 15 apps. Just couldn't pass up half price. I don't see Black Friday being more then 300 off if that. Also I don't know when the 4 will get root/custom recovery.

need help

pixel xl 2 running android 10 october security update.

when i try to fastboot into TWRP 3.3.1 or any other version for that matter the TWRP splash screen comes up, sticks for about 10-15 seconds and then the screen just goes black. for a tiny split second i can see the "enter passcode" screen that normally comes up. but its gone in the blink of an eye and then just a black screen. Not responsive at all, have to hold power button to force a restart on the phone, the last couple times i tried it, then it comes up with the triangle and Andy screen, force a reboot again and then it boots into OS just fine.

updated all SDK modules and such. not sure what else i can do. I tried this a few weeks ago with the same results and its getting frustrating.

thanks

Pattern or fingerprint?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
If that's all you want, go back to Pie, April patch, set up your security (Pin or pattern) and dirty flash back to Android 10 (October patch). You will have to wipe your data in going back to Pie, but you will have TWRP data decryption, as long as you don't wipe your data. That means dirty flash all updates.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] simplepinoi177:
You may be doing everything correctly, but I've heard of this issue happening when a person was using "fastboot flash" instead of "fastboot boot"....

So....just to be sure...what file are you using to boot and exactly what command are you using...?

Also, you may need to flash the stock boot image/partition before retrying TWRP again -- since it looks like something is causing it to glitch and just show a black screen, which might indicate a broken/glitchy boot process...

fastboot boot twrp33.img

I'm using the twrp 3.3.0.img from the twrp site. I renamed it twrp33. It runs the script and says boot successful. Twrp splash screen pops up but goes dark after 15ish seconds. Then I have to hard reset it by holding power button down

I'll try to get the stock boot.img and try flashing it first. Thanks

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

Are you taking over AEX?

You back up your data to an external memory. Then fastboot format data, then flash the April factory image. Set up your screen lock and take the OTA October patch.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pantallica420:
No I believe that the person who said that they updated to 10 possibly looked on the website because if you go to the website they show a 3.3.1 but if you look up the specific device the pixel 2XL there's still the 3.3.0 there could be confusion on both parts who really knows lol

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

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ne0ns4l4m4nder:
Read around the forums, just remove password on device then boot to twrp
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
2 solutions.

1. Save files on /Data or on a USB dongle for flashing.

2. Format internal storage and flash April Factory image {Pie}, set up your screen lock pin or pattern and update to latest Android 10. Decryption will now work, as long as you do not wipe data going forward.

Good luck![emoji123]

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

That works as well, but doesn't solve decryption issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirFronts:
So what does not decrypting stop you from doing I know noob question sorry
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Not decrypting prevents you from accessing any files in the internal storage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] simplepinoi177:
Actually, as I understand it, you actually can access the files in the other partitions (system, data, etc.) in terms of reading them (the "r" in "r/w"), but you cannot change/update/modify them (the "w" as in "write" in "r/w" [not necessarily telling this to you personally Alkahlikoi because I imagine this is basic info for an experienced one like you, but stating it for any who might not know...]).

So, if anything, you can read the data and ascertain certain "states" and/or "enabled/disabled settings" or values, but you cannot change or modify them to your own customizations... Not super useful I admit, but if you wished to just know certain things about your device and/or set up (at least in terms of OS), this could theoretically still happen...

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

But -- on another note, -- I'm wondering how much longer it'll be until proper r/w access. Not rushing the TWRP dev team or being impatient, I'm merely curious; I remember when one of the updates totally

wrecked

the fingerprint decryption part of Pixel 2/Pie (actually, was it Oreo...???:confused:). It took a long while (at least a few months like this), but I believe they had it resolved at the same point as long as it has been for this "issue"......
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirFronts:
Would I be able to use a thumb drive and TWRP to install a different rom and such

Or would I need a computer and use adb sideload commands
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
A USB stick and TWRP will work. I use that combination on my Lenovo tablet as the MicroSD had been set up as adaptable storage and thus encrypted. Naturally, because of the encryption TWRP can't see the files.

Just be sure to have the Google USB adapter attached to the USB stick, unless you have a USB-C thumb drive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Yes you can. Roms flash fine, only problem I've come across is when flashing a stock OTA+TWRP recovery doesn't respond to touch

Without a pc attached. Worked ok on pie but not 10 for some reason.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirFronts:
What about flashing the ota then TWRP then custom kernel

Or would you do the ota custom kernel then TWRP

I vaguely remember having this issue on pie with the pixel

So I would use the ex kernel
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Not sure, normally you'd flash

Kernel+twrp+magisk but that would be done after flashing and booting the rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirFronts:
This is confusing I'm trying to figure out the steps but seems like there are many different steps I guess I'll just stay without TWRP and new rom just use magisk

Is it software or hardware problem?

Can anyone help?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Does it happen with different chargers or when you connect to a PC?

I'd start with carefully cleaning out your port with a tooth pick dipped in rubbing alchohol. Hopefully it's just dirty.

Is there any way to calibrate display color temperature?

My display is bit warmer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] simplepinoi177:
If it is "warmer", you may have "Night Light" enabled with it's "strength" set strongly (no pun intended). That, or you can set your display to "Saturated" -- or go the opposite way, if you so prefer -- found in Settings/Display/Colors...

Those are the two "stock" settings options....I'm unsure of any other way using either root methods and/or custom kernel (i imagine) or anything like that... If anything, I'm unsure if there's a way to "officially" calibrate the display....

Hope this ends up being helpful...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:

I am on official TWRP 3.3.0 installed but can not decrypt using my PIN and if I remove all protection before booting to TWRP I can not mount /system after entering TWRP.

Plus I can not remove system apps using apps that should do the job. Latest stock factory image, latest Elemental X, latest magisk.

Do I have to reformat my partitions (which then?) using ext4 and then flash_all using the latest factory image? Are my partitons corrupted? Any clues? I just don't get it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You won't be able to mount system or vendor with TWRP, or use TiBu to remove apps until a couple of things change, and no, your partitions are not corrupted. They've just changed is all since the advent of A10. I'll let Mr. Magisk explain it to you :cool:
