in addition to what [MENTION=5802069]sb1893[/MENTION] suggested, did you download the correct ota zip file? the latest ota zip is marlin-ota-ppr2.180905.006.a1-34e91bd3.zip. ota zip files for the pixel xl start with marlin-ota. factory images have the word factory as part of the name. if the zip you downloaded has factory in the name and not ota, you have the wrong file. if you have the correct ota zip file, don't touch it. you don't need to unzip it. this zip file is what you will sideload. also verify that the checksum matches the value that google published.

i understand your confusion about enabling usb debugging. the instructions on the google ota page say to enable it but that's only just to be able to run the adb command to reboot into recovery. usb debugging only applies to when the phone is running android. it doesn't affect the recovery or bootloader modes. if your phone is in recovery or bootloader mode and you have the correct device drivers, your computer should be able to see your phone even if usb debugging is disabled. since you can't boot into android, you need an another way to get into recovery mode and that's with power + volume down to get to the bootloader and enter recovery from there.

And one final thing I forgot to mention. Platform Tools had an update this month...so please make sure you have downloaded and are running the latest versions...

28.0.1 (September 2018) is the latest revision for the Platform tools SDK

You guys make the XDA community look good.

kudos to each of you.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
Update: completed all necessary steps properly (also never actually typed command adb sideloadER before, was just a typo). I am getting a "protocol fault (no status)" when I hit enter. On my Pixel, it says "Must update to adb 1.0.32 or higher" So I located the file here on XDA. I downloaded the file and pasted in the same folder of all the other files. I found I was using the wrong path before. I will try again and see what happens. Still not sure if I extract these files.

UPDATE:

Phone took the sideload OTA just fine. Update was sucessful. Unfortunatley I still cant get into my home screen. It did not work. Still getting screen that says "Your data may be corrupt". We can safely say OTA flash will not fix this type of problem. I should have unlocked the bootloader right when I got the phone. Never again am I purchasing a Google product. Ever again. Time to get a Samsung note 9. I'm sorry, but if you pay 1000 dollars for a phone like I did barely 2 years ago it should not have this problem. Lesson learned: Backup your data to a cloud. Google is still a great company but thier phones are junk. I also had screen burn after less than 1 year, but I have that on my LG v10. Goodbye Pixel, forever.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
Bummer - that stinks. Sounds like we are close. Out of curiousity - can you post the exact/full text (or a picture if you have a camera or second device) of that screen that shows "Your data may be corrupt"...the only "corrupt" message I am familiar with is from the Bootloader unlocked warning screen. So - want to see what specific error message you are getting.

Sorry again you weren't able to recover your device.

Hopefully this works... Google Pixel XL flashing OTA
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
So you power up the device and it works on booting for a little while and then immediately drops you into that recovery screen? It doesn't give you a message when the boot fails before launching recovery?

Also - that OTA file looks to be the August 2018 OTA file, not September 2018 - which is what I thought you were trying to sideload...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
I did end up flashing the latest OTA.. It let both of them install. I flashed the same one on my phone, then I flashed the newest on on the list of google developers site. PPR2. 180905.006.A1. That is what is has now. I am still stumped as to why it won't work. I'm sure it needs a full factory flash, but I cant do it because its locked. So even if I wanted to recover the files I can't. Even if I could recover the files somehow without further flashing the files would be encrypted and useless. I could either wait to see if another option is available in the future, or factory reset it losing all my precious files. Extremely frustrating. Also, Why didnt google send me a notice about the September update? I never updated this month. Probably why it froze while in Hangouts
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
I'm assuming that means you can't fastboot boot into TWRP right ? Because TWRP recovery allows you to see the files on the phone and pull them into your PC
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
darn. sorry to here your phone still isn't booting up, but it does seem like you're close. another thing to try is to use the latest version of the sdk platform tools as [MENTION=5802069]sb1893[/MENTION] suggested. the sdk platform tools contain exe files for adb, fastboot, and some other tools, but they also contain dll and lib files as resources. since you copied adb from xda, you could have been running a newer version of adb.exe with old dll files. i'm no windows expert, but i'm surprised this worked. i suggest trying again with the latest platform tools. you can download them from here. http://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools. just unzip them to a folder and then you can use them. there's no windows installer. i don't know if this will work, but at this point anything's worth a shot.

correct. the bootloader is locked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
Still not familiar with TWRP or the tutorial...

I have heard of TWRP, and I understand what you are saying. The problem is I dont understand enough about it or how to do "fastboot". I am also not clear about my files. Arent the files encrypted? Even if I was able to recover the data, wouldnt it be unreadable because of the encryption process? Thanks meter to you btw...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
Thanks to the both of you for the attention to detail. So as far as fastboot, thats a nogo, correct? Because my bootloader is locked?.. And I did download that version of SDK tools from the Google site. That is the version I used to flash the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
Oh darn it yes, you'd need an unlocked bootloader for that, I apologize.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikas:
Hello All,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110). Recently, the phone crashed, and now stuck on boot loop. I tried to access the Recovery Mode to Clear Cache and perform Factory Reset, but the device keep rebooting with Samsung Logo. If I access the Download Mode, it works. I'm unable to find the official/stock ROM, and don't think a custom ROM will work without custom recovery.

I need assistance to get the device running again (Hopefully without clearing the data) ..

Flash TWRP using Odin 3.07 or newer:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yPxGpaMGSPHNckZ-UUISpqUWARNBCLC2

Select file in PDA, and UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT, exactly like in the image. After it finish upload image, hold power button. After successfully reboot, hold power + volume up + home till you get recovery.

After that, you can flash ROMs using recovery. Just put zip on SD CARD, insert it on tablet and chose to see External SD CARD files, when press install.

Note, if you stuck in recovery, you need to flash stock recovery and start again .. .

Make sure you reboot tablet from stock recovery to unstuck it.

Here's stock recovery:

[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] leAndroid91:
Hi guys,

i just noticed this strange behaviour twice since having my Honor 10.

When i'm listening to spotify music via bluetooth in my car (no Android Auto connected), sometimes (not every time) after getting a notification (notification sound is also played on car audio) the music continues to play without any bass (low frequencies are missing).

After pausing and resuming the playback in Spotify everything sounds as expected again.

Someone had that, too?

And found a fix?

For me it would be ok to disable notification sounds when on bluetooth audio.

Call rings should play tho.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Neel@1234:
We don't have QC 4.0+ chargers available yet in India.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] hank81:
You don't need a QC 4.0+ certified charger, and you won't see it very available in the future. That's because it's exactly the same as a PD 3.0 charger. Anyway you can get most benefits of QC4 with a QC3 charger, because the new tech is entirely implemented in the mobile hardware side.

Would my phone condom idea be appropriate here? ?. Anyways, starting to see more threads like this. Wouldn't painters tape or even Scotch tape placed strategically help for certain types of screen installs? I am curious if whitestone's phone holder has enough tolerances for tape all the way around the border of the phone. I know they have tabs to cover speakers but covering the bottom of the phone at the minimum would give less worries to TG installs. You have the s pen, headphone jack, speaker grill and USB C port which are all critical features.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
this time around whitestone DID include small strips of thin plastic adhesive film.

3 to be precise. they are exact cut outs for the top speaker but the other 2 can be cut to cover phone jack and bottom speaker i would think.

they even included 2 x insert pads to absorb excess glue seepage for both sides of the phone. grant it none for the bottom but this is probably because of glass alignment purposes. my install was flawless so i guess user error was the main factor hear. i did have prior experience from my note 8 so that probably helped.

unfortunately the plastic jigg is quite a tight fit and use of regular painter masking tape would probably not work. again included thin plastic strips should work but are not needed if instruction and steady hands are part of the variables.

My responses below in red font.

Sorry the above responses aren't too definitive. But it's the best info I have, personally.

Myself, I most often just enter my WiFi networks manually when needed (new ROM, new device, etc.). As I do not have a larger number of WiFi networks that I need to connect. But I can understand this isn't feasible for some folks, with lots of WiFi networks they connect to.
