Follow the tutorial on Peter's topic that you will get your wi-fi back. I had the same problem.

Download this files (Oreo Open Beta 2 and TWRP 3.2.1 Official, you can find in his topic)

With the TWRP you are currently using, wipe everything (data, system, cache, dalvik cache and internal storage) and format data

Restart your device in fastboot and flash the official TWRP 3.2.1 .Again wipe everything and format data

Restart for recovery and copy OP 2 to internal storage and then flash

Restart the system and get your wifi back ;)

I preferred to stay on OP2, but you can return to Nougat.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sk.c0de:
Well, the best way to fix it - flash stock recovery, wipe everything, and then reboot to recovery > select adb, connect to pc and flash with command in cmd : adb sideload name_of_firmware.zip

Thats will make you happy :)

Hi guys,

My phone is bricked now and there is no solution yet, I think but it won't hurt me to ask

With the latest news, I could unlock the bootloader of my Verizon pixel 2 successfully (fastboot flashing lock_critical) then I flashed a custom kernel to it. Somehow it won't boot. I stupidly relocked the bootloader while the custom kernel was still on it.

I tried to unlock the bootloader again using the command fastboot flashing lock_critical but it never worked again.

Now my phone is stucked on the bootloader screen, when I select recovery mode, it would take me back to the bootloader screen.

I can't use flash-all because the bootloader is locked. adb sideload won't work for me because I can't get into recovery mode.

Please let me know if you have any suggestion. I really appreciate it.

Otherwise, I will keep it for a while and pray there will be a solution to unlock the bootloader again.

Thanks everyone and happy new year.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
You said you typed flashing unlock critical. You should not even using that. You should have used flashing unlock. It says on Google page specifically do not use that command unless you have the pixel 2 xl. My guess you did not fully unlock the bootloader. For the pixel 2 XL you have to type into commands flashing unlock critical in flashing unlock for the regular pixel 2 it's only flashing unlock.

Try typing flashing unlock only and see what happens if not you may have bricked your phone
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] D3RP_:
You are correct that Google says specifically not to do that, which is why I did it. Previously on It's Always Sunny, that brought up a menu asking if you want to unlock. It seems OP messed up Kernel somehow.

I'm not sure if this will help or not..I wasn't sure if my Verizon pixel 2 was bricked or not..I unlocked the bootloader with the flash lock_critical command with the latest Fastboot on my PC.... Installed twrp..root with magisk.. Everything was working perfectly until I installed a few noodles with magisk and then updated to the latest magisk using the app itself.. My phone rebooted to bootloader and was stuck... Would not boy into recovery.. Or Android.. Only rebooted back into bootloader with an error message at the bottom which I can't remember.. Only that it was in big bright yellow letters lol.. Anyway I used to skip soft Android toolkit..(pro version) and flashed the latest factory image for the Verizon pixel 2 with Android 8.1.0...

Can you "fastboot boot recovery.img" a recovery image?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JRJ442:
Are you sure it was unlocked to begin with? In my experience flashing lock_critical wouldn't work on the bootloader version you have. It's a flaw in bootloader version .66 and yours is .59. It also looks like the radio is the newest so at some point the bootloader has been downgraded. I think VZW has blocked fastbooting a bootloader even when it's unlocked because it always says failed at remote or something for me. So even if it was unlocked, that's out of the question. It seems for our version even after the bootloader is unlocked the only way to update the bootloader itself, it taking an OTA or adb sideload. For anyone's future reference you can fastboot radios. Flash-all probably won't work because it will fail at flashing bootloader part. But you can pull out the image zip from the factory image and fastboot that's long as the bootloader and radio match what's on the phone and in the Android text file. That Android text file can be edited also to match what's on your phone and it will proceed.

So, I don't think there's much you can do since it's been locked with a custom kernel and that bootloader version. Never ever lock a bootloader with a custom anything installed. It has to be unlocked to boot images that don't come from Google themselves. Sorry about your loss.

Try this if you haven't already.

Hold Volume Down and power button until device powers off...it can take up to 5 min...you have to wait.

Then go to download mode.

I'd get the OEM ROM file package for the phone and flash the entire set (4) to clean out the phone/return to fresh OEM state.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeynavy1:
Out of curiosity, what brightness are people using for their phones. I remember reading some test on older phones where there there was a definite cutoff where reducing brightness didn't equate to major increase in battery life. I'm currently at 40%, without adaptive brightness (it started to annoy me as it seemed to be a little unstable at times...noticeable shifting that it looks like others have experienced) , but curious if going slightly lower (30% or 35%) is worth it to maintain a nice display while improving battery life. I love a clear bright screen but also value battery life so interested in good balance. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
I'm curious about this as well. I run mine at 25% but do keep all radios on.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
I use adaptive and just set the brightness to whatever I'm comfortable with. That usually means somewhere around 26-30%, sometimes turned up a bit in dim rooms as it can auto-dim a bit too much. This isn't about battery though, I'm just more comfortable with this brightness than with higher. Not studied the effect on battery life.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I keep mine at 25% with adaptive brightness turned on. It gets dark enough at night and bright enough during the day to be comfortable on my eyes in both situations. I have no idea how it affects battery though.

[prjkt.io] PokemonTotalWar:
Hello, folks! I've written a Magisk Module which includes a modified version of the Linux activation script for Andromeda, allowing you to enable Andromeda with a single command (two, if you count su)! I was inspired by the OTHER local Andromeda enabler script here on XDA, as I had downloaded it but discovered that it only worked intermittently on my device. Now, I know, you may be thinking to yourself "OP, is there something wrong with you? Andromeda exists so you DON'T have to be rooted!" Yes, this is true. However, from what I've gathered, there is a speed boost from using Andromeda, and that alone makes this worth it for me, and hopefully others. Plus, I was bored and wanted to see if I could make it work.

This module is written to work with Magisk v15. It will NOT work on Magisk v14, however, it is a single binary, so you could very easily extract it and place it on your phone or make a v14 module yourself.

To activate Andromeda, all you have to do is install this module, reboot, launch a Terminal Emulator, and type:

su
andromeda

Substratum should launch with Andromeda permissions, as if you'd used the Desktop Application.

[MENTION=4954797]saccentekennedy[/MENTION] has made an app! Flash the module, install his app, and when you launch his app, it will grant Andromeda permissions! No commands needed! Be sure to thank his post!

https://xdaforums.com/apps/substratum/magisk-andromeda-enabler-enable-t3728325/post75053802

UPDATE 1/12/2018 - The script did not properly set SELinux back to Enforcing, this is now fixed. Please update! Thanks to [MENTION=4233428]Floydfire[/MENTION] for the heads up :)
[prjkt.io] saccentekennedy:
Works perfectly!
[prjkt.io] saccentekennedy:
I've created a Tasker task to run this... But I can't figure out how to trigger it. In other words, how can I get Tasker to detect that the Andromeda isn't properly running and connected? I know I get a notification when the service goes down. I suppose I could use this as a trigger? Any thoughts?
[prjkt.io] PokemonTotalWar:
You could potentially use AutoNotifications with Tasker to detect the notification but I'd probably just set the trigger to the device booting or being unlocked, or make a widget with an app, like SManager, so you can just tap it.
[prjkt.io] saccentekennedy:
I created a little app with Tasker. It works. I've used Tasker plenty but never created an app. Anyway, I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but this works for me at least

You need the Magisk module installed, BTW.
[prjkt.io] PokemonTotalWar:
Works fine for me. I'm gonna link this in the OP, if that's okay with you. What's the code that went into it? Just executes 'andromeda' when you launch it?

Yup! My first app. Lol.
[prjkt.io] lido:
So congrats this is very interesting!

I'm curious, though.. I'm rooted and I've got substratum and magisk 15.x installed (current version). I purchased and installed Andromeda. I downloaded and installed y'alls zip and the apk. Is there a way to check that it's working properly? What I do have is the module in magisk is enabled but the actual Andromeda app keeps closing when I tap it (wasn't sure if it was even supposed to be opened or if it was a background app)
[prjkt.io] PokemonTotalWar:
When you launch it, Andromeda mode should be activated and you can just launch Substratum. You can check if Andromeda mode is on by checking under the Substratum settings. Under System Certification it should say Andromeda mode (Certified). Substratum should also launch after you launch the Andromeda app included here
[prjkt.io] lido:
Ah well sadly it's not activating for me....

I will keep my eye on this though!
[prjkt.io] PokemonTotalWar:
Have you tried running the commands in the terminal? It might be that the app just isn't working for you for some reason
[prjkt.io] lido:
Yes the terminal emulator works. I was just hoping the app would work to survive a reboot (which I do frequently) I'm just lazy! :D
[prjkt.io] PokemonTotalWar:
Do you own Tasker? If you do, I actually made a profile to enable Andromeda whenever I launch Substratum, and I'll upload it if anyone is interested. I don't know how to make an application-triggered task into an app, though.
