Not sure what's going on, but when I install TWRP on the P3XL my data is always encrypted and never asks for a password. I made sure to enable USB Debugging and all that. Worked on the P3, P2, and P2XL...not sure why it's not working on this one.

Edit: Nevermind, it's an issue with the latest TWRP build. I reverted to 3.2.3-5 and it works now.

Edit 2: Got super excited though because MTP worked with 3.3.0.0

Edit 3: JK, didn't work. Once I install a ROM it goes back to encrypting everything and won't boot. This is nuts.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
May I suggest not installing twrp and just fastbooting twrp when you need a custom recovery for whatever reason.

IMO there is no reason to install twrp on a dual partition (A/B) device.

Flash the stock boot image and reroot without installing twrp.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GohanBurner:
There is when you need to update kernels, ROMS, etc, and don't want to always have to use a computer to boot a recovery.

I look down on existence from a much higher perspective than you do.I witness this world,this universe and the truth of all things.That yields deeper understanding.Wisdom.The realization that TWRP must be installable on our devices, and for us mortals to need not a PC to flash to our hearts content.

3.2.3-3 seems to be the sweet spot right now. No issues so far.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
3.3.0 works fine on my pixel xl 3.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridobe:
Same. I also keep anything I need in /data. No need for decryption.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GohanBurner:
How did you get it to work? I flashed a ROM normally with 3.3.0 and it wouldn't boot and wouldn't decrypt data or ask me for my password. 3.2.3-3 allowed me to flash the ROM and boot + decrypt data.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jawonder:
So i can just flash the zip no need for the img ? or if i fastboot the img no need for the zip ?.

If my files including Backups are on OTG does that needs to be decrypt ?.

I’m on 3.2.3.5 now .
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
No debugging potential without recovery.log. We don't support encryption on Q yet, are you using a Q rom?

I was on 3.2.3.5, I fastboot 3.3 and reboot system from TWRP ( which did not ask me to put in my pattern which is known) . After i boot up i reboot to recovery and i’m 3.2.3.5 again how’s that possible. I also thought we didn't have to install TWRP 3.3 zip as the fastboot image would stick after a reboot according to 3.3 changelog .

3.3.0.0 is not working with April 2019 Pie stock rom, after rebooting to twrp, no even prompt for decryption, I have to re-flash the original boot.img then do the whole process for kernel and root again. Just a heads up for you all.

I actually end up reflashing the April patch. Wow.

3.3.0-1 is working now to decrypt.

Thank for the update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
Can confirm 3.3.0-1 when fastbooting does decrypt storage.

Haven't installed it yet though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
I did in my previous post. Fastboot and flashing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
Just to verify,

Fastboot img

Install twrp.zip

Install magisk

Install kernel

Sound good?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
That's works I usually do twrp kernel then magisk.

I got quick question, I had bunch of text messages in my phone, phone OS got messed up so I went into TWRP, went to advance wiped and cleaned the whole system 3x, including everything then I moved the TWRP backup and restore the OS . now whats is my % to get those text messages? is there any kind of software I can use for it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
If they're not backed up manually or in the cloud, 0%
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridobe:
I posted the next post after bigbiff stated that his worked fine. What was this, two pages ago?

Now, I understand that the release of 3.3.0-1 renders this point moot but I wanted to address your "misleading information" comment.

I use magisk, custom kernel and TWRP of course. If you put your zips in /data there is no need to decrypt. This method survives reboots and dirty rom flashes. No need to remove any security features.

The only misleading information here is your statement that "3.3.0.0 is not working with April 2019 Pie stock rom".
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GohanBurner:
Also just confirming that 3.3.0-1 is working great with decryption. Glad to see MTP being enabled for these devices! This was one of the main reasons I went back to the Nexus 6P from Pixel 2 because I missed it. If I messed up my phone or it was stuck in a boot loop I'd have to flash a factory image and start over. Now I don't have to.

Oh so it's after flashing 3,3,0-1 zip, i don't have to flash TWRP again when flashing a Rom ?.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Not unless u don't want twrp anymore lol u should always flash twrp zip after flashing rom
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bleez99:
Sort of. It works like this. Let's first assume you're flashing a fresh factory image from Google with TWRP already installed. You have no TWRP now, you've just wiped it. Want a persistent TWRP? After flashing the factory image, boot from the TWRP boot image after installing the factory image, then from there flash the TWRP zip. Use TWRP to install TWRP. You can stop right there, reboot, and use your phone with the TWRP recovery installed. Alternatively, stay right where you are, flash Magisk for root and perhaps a custom kernel and then reboot. In any case, TWRP will be available without the need for a PC.

There isn't a hard requirement to have TWRP permanently installed. If you have the need to flash something, you can always boot the TWRP image from your PC, flash what you need, and leave the stock recovery intact. Some people are more comfortable leaving the stock recovery alone, and always boot TWRP from their PC.

Personally, I like to have TWRP persistent. Each time Google releases a monthly update, it's gone and I use TWRP to install TWRP, Magisk, and my favorite custom kernel. The whole process takes five minutes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jawonder:
I thought that was the difference with 3.3.0. You flash TWRP and it remain during the flash of a rom unless you install stack rom via PC and don't remove the -w . So what was the big change in 3.3.0 ?.

I never noticed about the vibrations in 3.3.0-1, but the time thing has been since the start of the Pixel 3 integration as far as I remember. It is showing epoch (or Unix) time. It is a programming glitch that I am sure they are aware of as it works in other TWRP variations. You you can just rename the folder/file if you care to.

twrp 3301 works just fine for May security update. I went from March to May skipping April patches preserving userdata (remove -w) using twrp3301 during the process *and* making sure that I removed passwords/fingerprints temporarily before starting the upgrade process. Removing passwords/swipe/pin/fingerprint temporarily is always a good idea during firmware upgrades and booting into custom recovery etc.

[MENTION=5265802]lucky_strike33[/MENTION], try this since now you are already in May patch

Remove passwords/pins/fps etc first

Copy twrp-installer-3.3.0-1-crosshatch.zip	to your phone first and twrp-3.3.0-1-crosshatch.img to your platform tools

#adb reboot bootloader

#fastboot boot twrp3301.img (only booting off of the img temporarily and disconnect cable after booting into twrp)

flash twrp-installer-3.3.0-1-crosshatch.zip

reboot to system and redo your passwords/pins/fingerprints

reboot to recovery and verify that decryption is successful after entering password in twrp 3.3.0.1
