Same here bro you are not alone... So I'm back on CrDroid Rom where it flashes without issue.

And imo I believe that including the gapps & vendor VS giving us the option to manually flash is the culprit, but that's just my opinion I could be wrong.

How does one wipe Data from shell? Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zbealeo:
Wipe in TWRP, steps are somewhat labeled above each one in parenthesis

Also edited 'shell' to 'terminal' as to avoid confusion, by shell I was referring to Bash rather than adb shell.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Herk718:
Still don't quite understand, but thanks anyway.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zbealeo:
It's just a normal 'swipe to factory reset' in TWRP
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
Any work if this might be coming to the regular pixel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Herk718:

I didn't found in settings the possibility to turn wifi auto on in known networks. Is this not available in aosp or did i overlook it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pain-N-Panic:
I tried flashing again today and the zip never flashed...it gets stuck saying process 1/2 or something like that then it just freezes there before TWRP freezes then I have to do a hard reboot.

I have a TWRP 3.0.2 installer zip, but the official TWRP site for Marlin no longer has the 3.0.2 bootable image up for download. I've been booting TWRP with 3.2.1 then installing 3.0.2 before flashing the benzo zip. Think the mismatched TWRP versions could be my issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
You should use twrp 3.2.0 to install this ROM.

Can you please add led when charging and flashlight/torch via long press power button into the next build? Thanks so much!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Use ex kernal manager
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Where is led charging in ex kernel manager?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Shoot my bad just noticed its not there but im looking for app i use to use hold up
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Long press power for torch isn't in there either I don't think. Normally that's built into the custom ROM and is not kernel related.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
Very thorough post. I really appreciate it.

Where I am having trouble though is after flashing Magisk on slot B. Once I try and reboot into A, it says there is no OS installed and I get pushed back into recovery after reboot. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pain-N-Panic:
Can someone post a link to TWRP 3.2.0 bootable Image? No such file exists on the TWRP site for 3.2.0

I'm considering switching to this ROM from lineage, do I just factory reset and flash? Or do I need to go back to stock first?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Homeboy76:
Read the first 3 pages of this thread.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GroovinChip:
I did. Read it again at your suggestion. I must be missing something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the discussion seems to mostly be about what to do if flagging fails
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Factory reset and wipe system
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GroovinChip:
Thank you!

One more question, do I need to unroot before flashing?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Nope..... Wiping will take care of all that
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GroovinChip:
Cool, thanks so much!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
One issue that I am having is that when I try to sign into my works' Guest Network after accepting the terms/conditions, WiFi will work for a few minutes and then it will reset and start asking me to accept again before reconnecting. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

EDIT: Not sure what was going on, but I rebooted into safe mode without success then when I rebooted normally it works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Homeboy76:
I apologize there was an error in my post: :(

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kMogs17:
I was able to get both Dolby and viper installed and working with the links you provided, however, every time I reboot the apps either disappear or reappear. On first install neither app showed up then I rebooted and Dolby was there but viper wasn't then I rebooted again and both were there. Then I rebooted again and neither were there. Then I somehow got both again and I told myself I wouldn't reboot so I could keep them, but then my phone crashed and now they are both gone again. I will test on pixel dust to see if the same issue happens. There. I tried several times with clean install and the same thing happened each time for this rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Must be something conflicting with your setup. I've rebooted several times and mine never disappeared
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kMogs17:
Here were my steps:

I followed the instructions from the third page to wipe system etc in fastboot. Then I booted into twrp and factory reset. Then I installed rom and twrp. Then I rebooted to system and went thru initial setup. Then I went back to twrp and installed magisk (now in slot b in twrp) then I rebooted to system and magisk is working fine. Then I rebooted to recover and flashed both viper and Dolby. Then I rebooted to system and got the issues I described. I also tried a clean install where I flashed viper first then rebooted and it seemed to work. then I went back and flashed Dolby and when I rebooted I had Dolby but not viper.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Do you have substratum installed? If so try disabling. Might be something conflicting
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kMogs17:
I do have substratum but the issues started after a clean install when I had not restored any apps yet. I will try a couple clean installs tonight and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the assistance
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] muppetmaster916:
In all honesty I love substratum, however the only issues I've had on this ROM and on Stock rooted were due to substratum.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
I have substratum and mine works fine. I know some themes causes issues. Just trying to help troubleshoot what might be the issue
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] muppetmaster916:
Mine generally works very well until apps update then all hell breaks lose, also I'm not sure but there's probably a simple fix for that and I'm just unaware of it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gil Smash:
How did you go about installing this? I could not get it to work at all.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Donric13:
1. Uninstall magisk

2. Flash kernel

3. Flash magisk

4. Flash kernel again

5. Boot and have fun

Don't forget : only boot into twrp through fastboot (don't install twrp.zip). I didn't install twrp with stock (benzo) kernel! Only fastboot twrp.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] muppetmaster916:
Any chance of pin quick unlock for next version? Helpful feature.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:

Hey OP, I'm encountering a bug where rebooting to recovery or bootloader doesn't work, I just get booted into systemever time. It takes me having to press power + volume down when rebooting to get into the bootloader and then choose what to do. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Been mentioned in several post
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LubbocksFall:
No offense to the OP or anyone! Tried to install this ROM and must human errored it and hard bricked my Pixel XL. Hard bricked as in my bootloader doesn't exist no more and my Pixel was recognized as a Qualaccom device. :rolleyes:

I use to root my phone's back in the Nexus 5 days and this slot a and b mumbo jumbo is quite confusing.

I know Benzo posted a step by step tutorial. Is there a video or any other step by step for noobs to Pixel out there?

Thanks in advance! ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Maybe try and install the factory image from Google which should hopefully get your phone back up and running? Lots of guides for that.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
A rom wouldn't affect your bootloader. Try holding down power and volume down until it boots into bootloader
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LubbocksFall:
I tried doing that many time lol. I appreciate it buddy. I gave up. I just RMAed one and got a brand new Pixel XL . Very happy.

Thank you. I going to lay off a bit. Hoping a video will pop up soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tekno4ever:
Tried this 3 times and it did not work. Went to PixelDust ROM and had the same exact issue. Then I got smart and extracted the vendor image from the stock image and flashed it making PixelDust boot. I wonder if I had done the same if this ROM would have worked and stopped telling me inside TWRP that there was no OS installed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
It doesn't matter if it says that its fine and vendor image is included in this rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I'm on Pure Nexus and wanting to switch to this for a bit. I'm really rusty on flashing. I am in ADB but the above commands do not seem to work? Are those the exact commands to use?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sassmk2:
Make sure adb recognizes your device. Type:" adb devices " without the quotes in command prompt and make sure you're in the folder where adb is. Check to See if your phones serial number displays and then check your phone for a prompt to grant permission for adb..if you haven't used adb in awhile, Could be why you can't get it to work.

Good luck
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Those commands are actually done from fastboot, not adb.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices - should show you the serial number of your phone

then you should be able to run those fastboot commands.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DerpleNerple2000:
Is anyone else having issues with the install itself? I've tried flashing several times from a clean slate several times with no success. I (idiotically) forgot to grab the actual error I was getting on TWRP every time I tried flashing before flashing the stock image again, but I will try again later today to see if the error comes up. Also, I notice TWRP does not have a 3.2.0 image listed, only 3.2.1 and 3.1.1-1 as the latest two on their website. I'm probably just blind and it's hiding in plain sight, but if someone could direct me to the proper TWRP bootable img/flashable zip, I'd be grateful.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
I'm gonna post a video today on how to flash for u guys who can't. I'll share link in a few hours once I get to done

Ahh that makes sense. I was in ADB.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tekno4ever:
I disagree. I tried booting the ROM numerous times only to run into a boot loop going straight into TWRP.

I can't seemt oget any of the commands to work except fastboot devices and it shows my device. Other than that none of the other commands in post 282 seem to work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
What version stock image are u using im starting to think because there is a few different variants that maybe the vendor img maybe the issue. Are u using the unlocked img or the UK one. And when u are in twrp what slot are u on. a or b. Im not exactly sure if vendor images are the same if they are then i stand to be corrected . Are u just flashing rom and twrp ? Then go to first boot then back to twrp to install magisk. What are your steps
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Yeah I was on 7.1.2 so i needed to go back to stock img for 8.1 I think I now have the stock img of 8.1 January flashed. I had to do a ton of fast reading in order to figure out how to do it. It's at least booting to some rom which should be stock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Yea dude u habe to be on latest stock firmware
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jrmiller:
im also getting a bootloop :(

now i cant flash back to anything now :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
So I am on stock 8.1 now. I am back to the bootloader but on slot B. How do I change to slot A?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Just flash flash rom and twrp and reboot it will fix as long as u wiped everything
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
IDK this is frustrating. I've done everything. I was booting fine on stock. As soon as I flash benzo and TWRP it DOES not switch to A at any point and boot loops.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Are u flashing unlocked stock img or uk one before. After flashing rom and twrp reboot to bootloder and flash the stock vendor img

Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Just for sh*"#s and giggles

Sometimes ive had to wipe b and switch to a then wipe again probably a mistake i made but i would flash then boot and all was fine. Sometimes i would also get a error so id reboot to recovery wipe a again reflash and be good to go. U only need 2 files im not sure what issue is as long as ur on stock jan 8.1 it should move right along
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I think I got it finally. I started completely over and flashed the vendor image to both slots. I saw the words Benzo under settings so I must be good to go. What a process to get that to work though.

So far so good. Only "issue" I have is when I went to a full screen game (Clash of Clans), I couldn't seem to get the controls to pop up to let me back out of the game to go back to the home screen. I rebooted phone for now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :

Swipe up from bottom it should come up
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
That's the problem. In certain apps sweeping up from the bottom does not work. None of the menus come up. The only way I can get it if to got the power button, press power button again and unlock. Then quickly sweetie up from bottom to get the little nav bar so that I can get to the home screen. No clue why it's that much trouble. Again it's only in a few apps but it's very annoying.

I had that issue with YouTube. Seems like it may be an issue with immersive mode.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
Is everyone happy with this rom? I've haven't tried Benzo roms before and this seems to be the current go to rom for the Pixel XL 8.1.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I really like the rom and so far everything seems to work really well. My only issue is figuring out this immersive mode or an explanation of how to get back to homescreen easier along with access to status bar at the top.

Lockscreen double tap to wake seems default? I tap twice to wake up and then have to tap twice again to get the nav bar/unlock option to pop up. How do I turn that off so it goes straight to unlock option?

In the status bar, when I press and hold wifi, it only shows me one wifi spot and not all the options. I have to go back and then into settings and tap wifi to see all the wifi options. Maybe these are just Oreo things? I have not used Oreo at until I installed this rom so trying to relearn this new OS.

When in a full screen app I can't get or check notifications. I here the notification sound but since immersive mode is causing issues I can't see what they are from whatever app I am using. A text did pop up and I could reply or mark as read. This then also brought up the nav bar at bottom. Then it wouldn't go away unless I pressed a button (like Back). Swiping did nothing to dismiss or bring the bar back.

Update:

Well I went through the whole system settings and changed a few things. I am not sure what settings made the change but now my nav bar and status bar works in all my apps. I started at the bottom of the settings page and went through every single one so I am not sure what specific one caused it to work. If you are having issues with this and would like help fixing it I can work with you through screenshots to find the setting that changed it back for me.

As I went through the settings I also noticed certain things were turned on, or off,as default and didn't seem to be working correctly. So I toggled those settings and rebooted. This may have helped with some of the issues as well.
