Installed twrp 3.1.1-0 with no issues, did complete back up. Nice to have a real recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dnsmo:
i flashed 3.2.1.0 and then flash 2.0.3 kernel then magdisk. all seems to be working right now.

Has anyone tried a restore to another pixel 2 xl and not have fingerprint issues? Can't enroll fingerprint.

I have done a backup with the most current version with security disabled to another fresh install.

Tried a variety of restore methods.

Open to any other ideas to try. The second one is my test device.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spainter:
I read some where you had to delete the files that store the fingerprint data, I just can't remember where it was.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matt1313:
Yes. I couldn't figure it out so I wiped and started fresh.

Hopefully someone will
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
do you guys mean if you backup with fingerprint unlock switched on you cant restore with twrp?

even with deleting locksettings.db files?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matt1313:
Didn't try deleting locksetting.db but I did remove fingerprint from my old device and restored to new device and fingerprint didn't work till I factory reset
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
If you enabled fingerprint and restore to another device you will not be able to use fingerprint at all.

Even if you turn it off before the backup.

I have spend days on this and have found no solution. Deleted locksettings.db and tried flashing different firmware image files.

Did the flash with -w and booted twrp before finishing the setup wizard as suggested.

Does not seem to be an issue with same device restores.

Be aware that it is not a hardware issue on your replacement pixel 2 after restoring your twrp backup.

Hopefully they will get it figured out in the next twrp release.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
ah if its between devices then not as much of a big deal as i restore titanium backup if i get new device
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] micmars:
Not to put too fine of a point on it, why in the world would you want to restore a backup from Device A to Device B with fingerprints?

If it's your own replacement, couldn't you just disable fingerprints, and then back up the device (ie, pin/pattern only)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Don't want to restore with fingerprints. Issue is once you enable fingerprints on device a you can't restore to a replacement even if you disable on device a before backup and be able to setup fingerprints again.

Similar issue flashfire had on original pixel and 7.0. was eventually fixed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nidhish91:
If I wish to update twrp, do I go from step 1 again?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] micmars:
Ah, gotcha, so if ever a fingerprint set, you're not restoring anything from TWRP.

It's a PITA, but at least I can see why that would be something you'd want to overcome.

Thanks for the explanation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Actually the only thing you loose is being able to setup fingerprints again. You can do other security and everything else restores just fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] micmars:
Yes, I understand.

To me that'd be DOA.

The fingerprint reader on the phone is lightning fast and I use it for a ton of items, including many payment apps.

I'd do a reinstall.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Agree. Should work though. Probably an easy fix but will be low on the list.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] annoyingduck:
Hey guys, I'll be joining the Pixel 2 world soon. Just curious here, as this is the first device for me that there does not appear have a fastboot install method. Fastboot booting the .img is working as usual, but in order to permanently install it looks like you have to flash the separate twrp.zip from the fastboot booted twrp.img. Is there a way to simply fastboot flash the .img file like most other devices? What is the reason for the .zip install, does it have to do with the A/B partitioning? Looking at the zip there appears to be a magisk-temp boot of some sort as part of the install method. I guess I'm not understanding how if we can boot TWRP from the bootloader - why we can't just use a fastboot command to re-write the recovery partition with the .img file like you would normally do?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
No! That's just how it works. If you try another way, you will run into problems.

Remember google is your friend. You can find the answers to all your questions there!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] annoyingduck:
Please know that I'm not starting any nonsense here, but that is a terrible response. "That's just how it works" is what a iPhone user would say explaining things to the heard. You either don't know why or you refuse to answer because it's "obvious". I've been researching for hours and have yet to find a single reason as to why there is not a manual method available. Go ahead and Google my question... Have fun trying to find an answer. If it's an obvious answer, then I'm clearly missing something or not using the right search terms and will fully appologise, but it's not obvious to me at all.

I'm an experienced Linux user, Arch for that matter. I'm in the habit of knowing what is happening to my system before just randomly modifying things so I can fix issues myself. My question is pretty valid. Again, why can't we manually flash TWRP via fastboot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
It's because the recovery resides within the boot.img on these phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] annoyingduck:
Ahh, that makes sense now. There's no dedicated partition to write a recovery to. I'm seeing that now with the zip, it has to modify the boot image. Thank you for a proper response. XDA these days...well that's another story.

Can't get twrp img to boot

I was previously on Twrp beta2 and tried to upgrade to twrp 3.2.1. using the zip file in Twrp. I rebooted recovery and twrp then hung up on twrp boot screen. I then tried the entire process again (flash boot/dtbo and temp twrp via bootloader). Still no go. So i flashed factory image without wipe and tried the entire process again and twrp still hangs up on twrp boot screen. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matt1313:
I believe it has to do with both slot_a and slot_b. Fastboot may work if you set active slot to and flash back to back. It's easier and more user-friendly imo to.juat use the zip once booted in. Also help troubleshooting from a developer stand point.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Can you fastboot the twrp.img and get into temporary twrp? If so, then that's where you freeze up?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DaveMar:
It was [MENTION=4113315]jlokos[/MENTION] who froze up. Early TWRP releases froze for me too but 3.2.1 seems fine
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
yes, I can fastboot twrp.img and it goes to twrp screen and just sits there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
What happens if you flash the stock boot.img, then flash the twrp.img? Do you still freeze up?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
Yes and it shown up on a kernel bite ye made on telegram as well
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lucky_strike33:
Sorry for questions but which kernel you use? I see p2 or R2?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bryantjopplin:
I have XL so it's actually r7 root. Anything with p2 is for baby pixel. New r8 is out for testing root as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] danon.brown:
The p2 is the pixel 2. The r with the number is for the class.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lucky_strike33:
Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TTA1326:
I haven't even opened my XL, so how did you get this far? Did you skip through the entire setup since you said you have no accounts?

Yep skip everything except WiFi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lucky_strike33:
No dice for me. I am not gonna factory reset again after doing it yesterday. twrp will work sooner or later.

Are you able to add tether to the build prop?

Is there a straight forward way of restoring factory recovery after flashing this version ofTWRP ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
This version of recovery is only booted at the moment. A permanent twrp for pixel 2 and 2 XL isn't released since it isnt fulling functioning.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Yes; it still freezes up and just sits on the twrp screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Crap! The last thing I can think of is to remove your lock screen security, set it to swipe, then go back into bootloader mode, flash the twrp.img again, and see what happens. If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid you'll have to do a full wipe with a factory image flash. Hopefully the really smart people will chime in soon :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
[MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION]

You might want to correct that. It is an img you boot from and a zip you install :)

I thought you already did that though?? What the heck, it's worth a shot. You've got nothing to loose at this point. Just for further reference, the next time you want to upgrade twrp, go into bootloader mode, fastboot the stock boot.img, then the new twrp.img, then when in twrp, flash the new twrp.zip. Don't flash the new twrp from within the previous twrp :good:

Roger that....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Again..how is that wrong?? If he's in bootloader mode and tell him to flash the twrp.img again, how is that wrong??
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abuttino:
You don't flash twrp img files, you boot from them.

If you were to fastboot flash boot TWRP.img you would be stuck in an endless boot to twrp.

You fastboot boot TWRP.img then install twrp.zip

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Ok, your talking semantics now. I kinda figured that the user already knew the proper fastboot commands to "flash" the twrp.img. Hence, I didn't type it out in full fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-taimen.img format. Having said all that, I can see why you said what you said :good:

Twrp doesn't flip safety net.

For those with no touch response, I have the same thing choosing recovery from the bootloader. I always use 'fastboot boot twrp.img' from my pc when that's a requirement. Once it's installed and you have root use a third party reboot utility to boot into recovery and it works.

Beats me why...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
u don't need any third party app.inside magisk there is an option now to reboot to bootloader or recovery

ADB Shell with System Mounted

I'm trying to mount System within TWRP 3.2.1 so I can use ADB Shell to give my edited build.prop file the proper permissions "chmod 644 /system/system/build.prop". I'm trying to use this method rather than Magisk since I'm looking to get rid of Magisk until the random reboot issue is resolved.

However, when I mount System in TWRP 3.2.1 ADB Shell just throws a bunch of errors. It's strange because I'm able to use ADB Shell normally. It just errors out as soon as I mount System in TWRP.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
There is no random reboot issue with Magisk. It was created due to user error using system and music mods.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sn0warmy:
False. I'm getting random reboots with Magisk 14.5 installed with absolutely no mods. This remains true with or without the edited build.prop. Others have reported the same issue under the same circumstances.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kcc140:
Same here
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
See below.

I am convinced it is user error. Have been running Magisk since it was modified to root the Pixel 2XL. I have 0 reboots over this time. You either have defective devices, which you should return to google or there is user error in your device setup. It is not Magisk, TWRP or due to a custom kernel. It is due to stuff left on your device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kcc140:
In my case, I'm beginning to think it's a defective device. Does anyone know if you can RMA a new device bought from Swappa? Got mixed results from a Google search...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
While I'm not sure I would say "user error", I agree the problem does not lie with Magisk itself. I haven't had any kind of reboots (soft or hard) and I've been running TWRP, rooted and kernel(s) on both 8.0 and 8.1. The long reboot thread identifies several root apps that (allegedly) upon removal stop the rebooting cold. In short, I don't think it has to be all or nothing- meaning that for now one can use Magisk just fine, and have several well behaved root apps running flawlessly without throwing the baby out with the bath water. Those convinced it is Magisk itself should be taking the discussion where it belongs... in the Magisk beta thread. Is there a better place to get it resolved?

None at all. Using an XPS 9360.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
Same cable. Tried both LG G6 C to USB and even stock C to C cable.

Yes updated fastboot and installed drivers.

There are 2 different fastboot drivers though, one in built and other from Google. Tried both.

:(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
Could be an ADB driver issue with the PC. In other words, fastboot works, adb does not. Any yellow triangles in Device Manager? In recovery mode do you get a response from "adb devices"? Personally I just flashed TWRP and never looked back... same as all my other phones.

Edit: If no joy, I would wipe out all references to ADB on your Dell, and reinstall the binaries, making sure you add the adb folder to your system path. Personally I just use the standalone binaries (not SDK), extract them into my adb folder (C:/adb) and then edit the path to include that folder.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
no triangles

adb is fine its fastboot that I cant use.

i updated flash kernel but forgot to re install twrp so now trying to do that.

bit annoying on pixel you need to re flash twrp after every kernel update!

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pkgnex:
Actually, once you have TWRP installed, you can flash kernel ZIPS from it (not img's) without ever having to re-flash TWRP. I've done it numerous times now. Just flash kernel zip from TWRP, re-flash Magisk over top, and done.

That said, when you update the factory image every month you still have to do the song and dance of booting the twrp img first, then flash twrp zip, then Magisk. But that's only when you update to a new boot.img.
