Go here....https://developers.google.com/android/images

Download the December factory image, extract it, then extract the other zip you'll find, and in there you'll find the boot.img. Then place that in your platform-tools folder and run...fastboot boot boot.img

Then type fastboot reboot, and let the phone boot up. Then go back and fastboot the twrp.img

Once in twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then custom kernel if you want, and then magisk for root if you want. Question, why are you still on the December build???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nochis:
I think if you just flash magisk it will boot again. If you were rooted. Someone posted on the twrp thread. To get touch back on twrp just have to adb reboot recovery. Might worth a try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Ok I am downloading the 1.6GB December file. I will then extract that, and only need to grab the boot.img file from there ? What do you mean when you say "then extract the other zip you'll find" ?

And then connect my phone to my PC, and open Command Prompt, and run these lines. I need to be in fastboot mode I assume ?

"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
There's another large zip that you'll find after you extract the factory image. It is in that zip that you'll find the boot.img. And yes, you'll need to be in fastboot mode to install the boot.img :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Ok so I extracted that 1.6gb December file. Inside the file I see the large 1.5GB file, I open that and see the boot.img, only like 40mb. or do I need to extract this 1.5GB file too ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Yes, extract that file, then you can move the boot.img out of it :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
In Command Prompt I am typing " fastboot boot boot.img " and it says cannot load 'boot.img' : No such file or directory
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Ah crud, I messed up. How bout..fastboot flash boot boot.img

Does that work? And, is that boot.img in the platform-tools folder?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I moved that boot.img file into the Downloads section of my PC, and in Command Prompt typed cd Downloads, then once there the "fastboot boot boot.img" line, which that worked, and finished in 1.023s, and the phone rebooted, but now I'm back on that white G screen, and still just sitting there.

I have the "platform-tools" folder inside the Downloads folder, but now sure how to direct the Command Prompt to go there ?

EDIT: Silly me, easy to get Command Prompt to the platform-tools, just typed ' cd platform-tools ' and it's there. LOL. So I did that, and then 'fastboot boot boot.img' and the phone rebooted, but it's still hanging in that white G screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Make sure your boot.img is in Android Tools folder along with fastboot.exe.

Then with phone in bootloader, type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
What happens if you do a hard restart using the power button?

Your platform-tools folder is where? I just leave mine in the SDK folder, then move my stuff from my files from the download folder. But hey, if it works, that's cool :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Ok the boot.img is in there, in my CD:\Downloads section in the folder named "platform-tools" , in that folder is all the fastboot.exe, and boot.img, adb stuff, etc...

I go back to Command Prompt typed in 'fastboot flash boot boot.img; phone rebooted, and still hanging in the white G screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Ran that [TOOL] Deuces thing, unlocked bootloader and erased data, and other stuff, it does all this in fastboot mode it seems.

So after it's done, I am in fastboot mode still, I press the power button on the Green Start arrow. It boots up, then a black screen and bright circle animation and underneath says erasing, it reboots and goes to the white G screen, then reboots again, and I am in some weird screen now ?

Android Recovery, but this sure the hell isn't TWRP Recovery. It's some strange super tiny lettering hard to barely read, gives me two options;

-Try again

-Factory data reset

Above that it says "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory reset, and erase all your data stored on this device"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I don't mess with tool kits, so may want to post it in that thread. That's the stock android recovery. Your best bet is to factory reset. Then hopefully it'll boot up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Looks like I'm ****ed. I pressed Factory Data Reset, it rebooted, went to the white G screen, then rebooted back again to that stock Android recovery, with the same options.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
That sounds like outdated Android Tools.

Have you tried to flash the March image from Google yet?

If not, download newest Tools, https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

Then download March image and follow these instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Hmm I'm confused reading that long lit of things to do, it seems sort of easy, but I get lost with the " Execute the flash-all script " I don't know where or how to install that and run it ?

Wish the old school Nexus root toolkit was capable for the Pixel 2 line, I think it stopped at the Nexus 6P line.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Unzip that Google Factory image into 6 files. Add them to your ADB folder where Tools are.

In Windows Explorer, double-click on "flash-all.bat" and it will run.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Don't know if this will help, but here's a guide I made written in simple terms for someone like me :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] madscribblerz:
I use deuces script. It's been used by many to recover their phone from being completely borken. I've used it to roll 8.0 to 8.1 and to deploy each monthly.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/tool-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3704761/page34
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Ok doing that now, I see in the Command Prompt running a bunch of script stuff writing and saying OKAY...

It ran through everything, put the files into the Platform-system tools, double clicked the flash-all batch file, and Command Prompt said " finished. total time: 92.327s" The phone rebooted, I see the white G screen, then a few seconds later back to the Android Recovery Screen, with super tiny writing with the options "Try again" or " Factory data reset"

WOW it worked.

All I did was select "Try again" and unplug the USB cable, it rebooted, ALL THE WAY to the startup screen :) I wonder if having the USB cable plugged in all this time was preventing it from booting all the way up ?

So what state is my phone in now after all of this ? I assume no TWRP Recovery is installed ? I assume I'm not rooted or anything ? Am I back to bone stock, where even OTA updates will happen if I wanted ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You are at full stock with whatever monthly build you just installed. No twrp, no root or anything. About the only thing you have is the unlocked bootloader. Depending on what monthly build your on, now might be a good time to update it to now! Congratulations on getting it working though! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Now do I dare try to install the Android P Alpha?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
If your P2-XL is your daily user phone, probly not.

Alpha may be too buggy to be dependable.

Congrats on getting it running right!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rakeshmarar:
Guys I went through each and every post here. And I am at my wits end and just want to smash this fone into pieces

I got this fone from a guy who bought this in US and using it in India (carrier unlocked). I was on stock Oreo last updated few days back (was a security patch I guess). I do not flash roms or do any of that hanky panky stuff. FML moving to Pixel from my trusted Iphone7. I love this phone but since morning it has been rebooting into Android recovery with an error message "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory reset and erase all user data stored on this device."

USB debugging is not enabled on this device. I have been using it as stock and havent flashed anything or tried to Root or nothing. I downloaded everything as required in this script but it fails everytime. I am worried Il lose my data and worst case end up bricking my phone.

What can I do??? Posted in the deuces thread as well. Unable to find what I am doing wrong!

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aussie1234:
Hi

Can anyone please recommend a good global equaliser app for the U11+?

I used to use Viper4Audio but as this is only for rooted phones it is hard finding a replacement that works as well on the U11+.

Thanks

Aussie
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] albert0pia:
I literally embarked on a search for one today. I just got this device and already miss my old one which had a system-wide EQ. Here's the one I tried that worked. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free

I do get a notification prompt that the app is running in the background and that leaves me worried about battery drain. I shall keep searching until I find an almost perfect one or until a custom ROM with Dolby ATMOS gets released.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aussie1234:
Thank you. Yes I agree. HTC releases a phone with quality audio DAC but no system-wide/global EQ.

V4A is ideal but only works on rooted phones with permissive kernel, so for now we are left searching.

Cheers

Aussie
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aussie1234:
Hi I tried that app but as soon as I put the higher frequencies up the volume decreased and it changed the dynamics of the sound a fair bit. Same with the bass.

There ust be compatability factors with some devices that have enhanced (preset) EQ.

Cheers

About viper i don't know if it's good for our device. It only has 48khz drives. You are right though. I miss Viper sound... HTC must give us in a future update(...)a system equalizer

Not sure if they meant to have these available or not.. but I noticed the XZ2 studio samples while looking at their S9 review and if they're correct .. wow, it'd mean Sony actually "fixed" their camera issues for low light (and somehow messed up good light, but im less worried about that).

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] m1909:
I guess it's more system problem than hardware, but I dunno where I should put this. So, I don't know why, but I discovered that all the fonts on my phone looks the same. I wanted to change font in my snap, and there's this "font picker", where Old English is. But for me, it was still the default font(Roboto, I assume). I thought it was Snapchat's fault, so I reinstalled it, but problem remained. Then I downloaded some fonts and tried to change font by FontFix, but I looked at font viewer and I noticed all the fonts look the same. I mean, every one of them looks like Roboto. Even not downloaded yet fonts look like default one. As my phone is rooted, I checked if everything is ok in /system/fonts, and seems like it. Is there any solution for me?

You could use your friend Google.

To unlock just use the official Xiaomi tool for unlocking. If you can't find that than you should take some sort of computer class first.

Currently there's no Oreo ROM for this device, so untill someone ports or builds one you can only flash AOSP Nougat ROMs.

[Essential Phone Accessories] GospelNerd:
I have an Incipio clear case on right now. It makes my glass screen protector pop off. So that's off for now.

I'm on my second PH-1 after a very minor fall cracked the screen on my first. (It was naked) But I had dropped it a couple of times.

Here's the thing, the back and sides were completely unscathed. The screen chipped a tiny bit on the corner on the first fall and then cracked across it with some shattering in the corner on another (from about a 1.5' fall from pocket to concrete when I was sitting on a bench).

With just a glass screen protector, you can hardly even tell it's on there (aka the phone still looks great). It also seems like with a good positioning, the SP or the plastic surround would make the first contact on any fall (given a relatively flat surface with no protrusions), thus protecting the screen. Aesthetically, I would love to get away with just the SP. I don't like casing this phone.

On the other hand, most cases are designed to also make first contact on a fall via a lip around the screen, etc. (The point of conflict with the SPs). So it would seem that a case alone should provide protection against screen shattering in most mundane falls also (again, barring protrusions).

So, what is your experience? Does anyone go screen protector only? Or case only? Have you had a screen break with either?
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
I have the incipio as well and go without a screen protector. I also have a belt holster to protect the phone from falling out my pocket. I am very anal with phones and have not dropped this one or my prior Android phones (I've dropped my Lumia 920 once but that just had a dent in the plastic housing). I've seen that video in which somebody tested the PH-1 with falls from different heights and know that the first thing that will break on it will be the screen under the right conditions. The rest of the phone is rock solid. That might be one problem that leads to cracks when it falls onto the corners (no dampening and direct energy transfer to the glass). I don't think a screen protector will do much in that case either.

that's my experience.

I'm totally enjoying this phone

cheers
