How to know if I have done this in the correct order?

I don't remember what I did.

I have tried to reboot from to recovery from an Android app (not ADB) and I get a Droid icon with the inscription "no command".
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Sounds like your booting into stock recovery. So, twrp is not installed. You'll have to fastboot into twrp with your pc. Then flash the twrp installer zip once your in temporary twrp.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Nothing you can do. I went back to -3. It seems to only effect password (pin) enabled devices even if you turn all vibration off.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
When you get to the screen with the Android and no command, hold power and tap volume up. That takes you to recovery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
Are your settings persisting for disabling the vibration settings? It seems the vibration driver in the march kernel update doesn't want to use the sysfs properly for setting vibration timeout.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Yes I have all 3 settings at 0. Pin lock seems to trigger vib.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lessaj:
Yes PIN lock triggers it and it stops vibrating after a few minutes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
Reboot recovery after setting all 3 settings to 0. Then verify they are still set please.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
I have done that. They still show 0. I even changed and back to 0
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
Unfortunately I can't do much about the vibration driver with the march kernel since it's what in the stock ramdisk. Hopefully it will get fixed by Google.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spaceman860:
I have vibration set to 0 also and I sometimes get the constant vibration when I boot into recovery. What I do when that happens is just use the option to reboot into recovery again and it's fine after

SO ya I must have not had the latest upload to get past Google screen, but I still had to go back with the vibration. It is insanely hard, lol. I set all vibration to 0, rebooted and still doing it. Went back to previous
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] EMJI79:
It does only reboot to system when I do this.

Might be stupid to ask but here goes. Have we gotten support to flash the OTA images yet, or are we still required to use factory images and remove -w if we don't want wipe to update?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nochis:
The last update works with official Full OTA. The only issue I had was the vibration problem. Still flashed ok, the vibration stoped almost at the end of flashing the zip.

Constant vibration when I boot into recovery ??

Hello all. I ended up having to revert an older patch for vibration because it isn't working on the pixel 3 right now. I have upload 3.2.3-5 to twrp.me and should be visibile in the next hour or so.

I installed TWRP by booting temp to TWRP and flashing the install.zip file but then magisk doesn't work anymore. What am I doing wrong
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
You have to flash magisk after flashing twrp and before you reboot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GrandMstrBud:
So I can't boot up after flashing TWRP I must flash magisk first? Not sure why but man I spent 2 hours on this already. Not sure if this is normal but TWRP is on a constant vibrate also.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Read through the thread and look for the directions on flashing stock boot and twrp, etc.

Make sure to flash -5.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GrandMstrBud:
I have, I flashed back to stock 3 times now. When reading on rooting I didn't see anything mentioned where you had to do TWRP first and then right away magisk. I know it's been a while I haven't rooted my last 2 phones since I wasn't able to in being the last 2 Samsungs. So now back to google. Seems a little different from back then. Oh well learning again as I go.

Today when I installing the custom rom, the twrp shows

how do I fix it? I restored factory image and reflashed it many times, and still the same result. I used to flash custom rom without this issue, but today i dont know what the hell is going on, could somebody help me. twrp version 3.2.3.0 my device is blueline

Are you saying you can't flash the March 2019 factory image for your Pixel 3 XL?

Did you buy your Pixel 3 XL from Google?

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] needs to rebuild blueline with updater_engine on our github to get rid of the error.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Fry-kun:
I backed up my crosshatch (stock + magisk) with twrp on fastboot, including system and vendor images. After some messing around with roms and multiple factory resets, I'm trying to go back.

Recovering straight up finishes, but phone boot loops after that.

Tried installing magisk on top of recovery, but it gives me an error.

Tried flash-base and flash-all (with -w removed) but that doesn't work either.

The only thing that seems to make it boot is full stock flash with factory reset

Anything else I can try to recover?

P.S. also tried recovering data only after making the stock boot up - loops a couple times, then asks me to do a factory reset -_-
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
Did you flash the flash all batch file with the -w intact, then booted back into the bootloader, booted twrp and restored just the data partition, and then it still bootlooped?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Fry-kun:
Yeah, that's exactly what I was trying to describe -- unless you mean avoid actually booting to system after flash-all
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
No, booting to system is fine. I'm surprised that it didn't work so was just trying to clarify. That's worked for me in the past. Try doing a wipe in twrp, the standard one excluding system, before restoring data.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Fry-kun:
Trying it again, to make sure - if it fails again, will try twrp wipe as you said.

Also noticed that my platform-tools was 27, not 28 -- but twrp 3.2.3-5 apparently can't boot via fastboot 28!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
The platform tools is probably the problem. I haven't heard twrp won't boot in 28, but you might be right. I have a pixel 3 and we don't have that version.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Fry-kun:
The error from booting using 28 went away, not sure what combo caused it..

Tried twrp wipe as suggested and it results in the same boot loop: original boot takes a few seconds, until the dots start twirling in a circle for a moment; subsequent reboots are much faster (maybe a second after G logo shows up)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
Did you reflash the factory image using r28 fastboot?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Fry-kun:
yes

edit 1: after discovering I was using 27

edit 2: in fact, flash-all actually failed while using 27 - but 28 went through

edit 3: in the end, gave up on restoring the data with twrp -- used google backup (which is pretty inconsistent, ugh) + Titanium Backup

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
You could pull the boot. Img from the firmware you're on and flash it in twrp. Reboot. Then reboot to recovery and it should be stock recovery. Then sideload the ota in Stock recovery. Then re-root and install twrp and such.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wangdaning:
You have to flash the RC build, because blueline twrp is not updated.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aaa12585:
There is no update or Release Candidate (RC ) for Pixel 3 or 3 XL aside from what is provided by the TWRP website. :good:

The thread titles/content are not up-to-date. I do hope for a revision to release soon if complications are truly an issue with TWRP. I'm speculative to mention Android Q may be causing delay in other device efforts.

Sounds like we're all ready for TWRP 3.2.4 or 3.3.0.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aaa12585:
My reply was to you as I am in the same boat as Kaicat. I have a Pixel 3 and found him cross-posting due to what I'm sure is a lack of content/views on the Pixel 3 forum. No drama, just communicating where channels are available.

We would like an update on TWRP to fix the current error and your reply about RC update is not backed up by sufficient proof in my searches for a TWRP release on Blueline.

Oh, I see. I didn't realize he was flashing DU. My apologies!

Quick off topic question: after decrypting are you able to set a fingerprint or PIN, or is that still not possible?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wangdaning:
Not on crosshatch, but for those with decryption issues, did you guys flash the stock boot.img before updating?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surge1223:
Yeah, though i never removed my pin or fingerprint before flashing 3.3.0. But i was able to add another fingerprint after booting back up so I assume there wont be any issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surge1223:
I believe a change to the e4crypt_install_keyring method in init builtins is causing twrp 3.3.0 to decrypt. Could certainly be related to one of these sepolicy issues as well, but I'm no twrp expert.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zard:
Curious. 3.3.0 was only released for Taimen, Pixel 2 XL. Crosshatch, Pixel 3 XL is still 3.2.3-5 here: https://dl.twrp.me/crosshatch/#

It's definitely a problem with the crosshatch sources to compile 3xl twrp. I recompiled twrp and flashed it to test. Though, I don't know much about twrp/recovery since I don't really typically mess around with it, I still keep seeing the point at which it fails to decrypt having to do with keymaster not being able to find an interface.

given this usually happens immediately after predecrypt.

Yes I have tried a couple of usbc to a cables as well, I just dont know what the problem is, I have never seen this before. Im almost thinking of rolling back from the April patch and see if that makes any difference. That was the only thing I have differently up until this point.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
Make sure you are typing the path name to twrp correctly, and that there aren't conflicting files that could confuse your flash. Or put the twrp image file in the adb/fastboot folder to make sure the path name is correct. Make sure you downloaded twrp image, not twrp zip to fastboot. Check md5 sum of your download. It is probably something simple like this is why it will not boot if you are unlocked...?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Debizzle:
THanks for responding, I have pretty much cross my T's and dotted my I's with what you mention. The weird part is fastboot is working just fine for just about everything else. I was even able to flashed the April patch just fine. ANother interesting thing is the md5 from the twrp site is not matching the file from the same site.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Debizzle:
I figured it out guys!!! SIlly thing I missed, the zip file has to be on the phone even if I was only trying to temporarily boot to twrp. Thanks for all that was trying to help.

Sounds like we are not there yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fohdeesha:
Has anyone gotten TWRP (the latest 3.3) to work on the latest android version, 9.0.0 (PQ2A.190405.003, Apr 2019) ? It seems it does not work. Flashed a phone using flash-all (full clean wipe) to this version, then booted in and set up a PIN/fingerprint as well as put the zip on the root of the internal storage.

Then from the bootloader I can succesfully boot TWRP temporarily (fastboot boot twrp.img), and it prompts with the screen "swipe to allow modifications" - I do so, and it never prompts for a PIN no matter what. so of course I can't browse internal storage to install the ZIP. Any way around this? I've rebooted and cold powered about 100 times, and after the initial twrp boot it never even prompts the "allow modifications" screen again, let alone for a PIN. To even get the "allow modifications" screen to pop up again I have to clean wipe the phone

EDIT: was able to get TWRP permanently installed by ADB sideloading the zip into the non encrypted partition while TWRP is temporarily booted: "adb push twrp.zip /" - I can then find the ZIP in TWRP and flash it. The phone succesfully boots into system and twrp recovery so the flash went OK. However TWRP still does not prompt for a password and therefore can't see my storage
