No, only the current slot needs to be rooted.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Carmenlove:
Hello,

I apparently have one of these Pixel 3's that are not working with the current version of TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img). Yes, I have a 3, not a 3XL. I have done these a hundred times before so I am fairly confident I am not doing anything wrong either. I get the file to load through ADB but on the reboot, it just hangs on the Google screen forever. I have left it for an hour. I have tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have any advice or is in the same situation? I just got my Pixel 3 in the mail on Friday so it's as fresh as they come. I was thinking of fully flashing the TWRP image, but I really don't think it's going to make any difference and I don't want the extra hassle of tracking down the official boot.img from the repo. I guess I will just have to wait until someone who really knows how to debug these comes across one like mine. Clearly, something has changed in what Google is sending out.

For reference:

Android security patch level: September 5,2018

when i booted in to twrp it was encrypted! but i didnt have a PW.... so for everyone to whom that happens, boot up normally and disable your pin ! then you can see your storage in twrp!

i almost flipped this morning hahahaha

Flash the stock boot image. Then try to fastboot boot "path to TWRP". If it still hangs, redownload TWRP and try again. Here's the stock boot for Pixel 3... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EMkcRkH7n-1bGlVbbzcEJKKPJeE4l9mB/view?usp=drivesdk

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PuffDaddy_d:
I have a similar problem. After installing twrp, I can boot to the OS, but Magisk isn't installed and I don't have root. After going back to Twrp and flashing the magisk zip, i can't get past the bootloader screen with a error saying something about failed to load boot.img.

Re-fastboot flashing the patched boot img to both slots brings me back to a rooted state with all magisk modules loaded and applied, but no more twrp. I technically don't need twrp for anything except for nandroid backups, but I guess i could just backup using the adb backup commands and get similar results, right?

Either way, I'm open to suggestions for how to get twrp and magisk working at the same time.

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Portgas D. Ace:
I think he refers to the updated version for blueline. Crosshatch version being updated is the one thing, devs will update the one for blueline when they have time/motivation.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wangdaning:
Bad manners to post ETA. TWRP for Blueline has been working well, for Crosshatch it was/is broken. At the end of the day, they are giving use something very useful for free, therefore, no need to demand a new version. It will come when they have the time, maybe.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] onesolo:
No it's not... Doesn't play along with the May update if you need to install TWRP for the first time (my situation). I had to completely install April update to be able to install TWRP. And if version for 3XL was released, no reason why our phone is left behind. Phones are like almost twin brothers.

And version 3.3.1 brings many enhancements

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] frank93:
after reading here i see that a lot of you also have the "blank screen" thing after restoring a nandroid backup. while i CAN boot into the bootloader then (using hardware keys) and flash the stock/rom image (without wipe) from scratch, install twrp+magisk afterwards and my data is "back" apparently (and i don’t mind doing that if it needs to be done for a restore), -- isn’t that the same as just "restoring data only"?

i guess what i’m wondering is - what’s the "right" way (right now) to backup & restore (which partitions) a full system, and do i have to check the "slots" used before/while doing this? i don’t mind flashing stock (or another rom) in the process, just don’t wanna lose anything and have a backup ready just in case, when trying out critical things with my phone. :) converted from htc (u11) and now/soon on a pixel 3, it feels kinda .. new.

thanks in advance!!

Right now I'm still on may update with twrp installed. Can someone tell me if it's safe to update to June update and then install Twrp? Will it enter in Twrp with no problems or it's going to happen like in May update?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
I updated my wife's P3 from May to June (using flash-all without the -w) and was able to reinstall TWRP twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img. I installed using advanced>install recovery ramdisk (after fastboot boot) since I haven't installed the .zip since the ramdisk install method was announced. As long as you didn't wipe the device completely, you should be fine.

is twrp 3.3.0 installable on android q beta qp4?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Valeriuz:
Does decryption works on latest twrp?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
It does if you are coming from Pixel April>May>June without doing a full wipe. If you did a full wipe at any time since Google released the May build, it does not decrypt yet. TWRP linked a test build for the Pixel 3 XL (in that thread) that is working to decrypt after a full wipe, so I suspect that one will be put up officially and the P3 will get fixed in relatively short order as well. In the meantime, turn off your PIN/Pattern security. Do what you need to in TWRP, and then turn security back on.

Is there a way to install twrp on lastest beta Q ?

I had twrp with june update. Then I tried to update Q full ota on twrp but I got an error. It was like almost bricked. After a few tries, with luck I was able to install factory image of beta Q without wipe but lost Twrp. Tried already to boot to twrp img but with no success. Any ideas??
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
Having same issue with beta 4. There was an update for platform-tools but that didn't do anything. If I flash the bootloader from the latest P version I can still boot to Q and can flash TWRP but it will not read storage. TWRP needs to be updated. Seems this phone was a mistake to buy, seemingly no love for the smaller Pixel's.

In my opinion as we all have one I'm sure

Just disappointed coming back to Google after being a nexus fan and flashaholic. Seems oneplus is the unofficial new nexus in terms of mods/rom flashing. Really like the craftsman ship of the samsung flagships. But again just my opinion ??*♂️
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wangdaning:
Just a hint, most developers will not update for a preview, they will wait for final release. Once Q is officially released we will get twrp.

fastboot boot twrp.img failed in Android Q Beta 4 right? At least my phone is.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] NYCHitman1:
Having been an owner of every Nexus device, the OnePlus 5, and now the Pixel 3. I would never buy another OnePlus device ever again. Pixel it is from here on out. Your issue, it seems, has nothing to do with Google but more to do with the custom development of the device, which honestly isn't struggling at all. There is plenty of solid work out there available for the Pixel 3.

You're unfortunately just suffering due to Ethan's (deestroy) inability to provide timely updates for the device.

In any event, it's a Pixel. You don't NEED to rely on TWRP. You have the ability to flash images via fastboot. Use that and bypass the headaches that come from the lack of QA on the TWRP side.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
I've been flashing things since 2009...you can flash roms, kernels, etc straight from the bootloader?

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] NYCHitman1:
Of course. It's what TWRP basically does for you, but you just doing it manually.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
I know you can flash bootloaders, radios, etc from the bootloader...but you can flash a zip like, for instance, magisk? ./fastboot flash zip filename?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] NYCHitman1:
You wouldn't be flashing a zip. You would be flashing images to their respective partitions.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wangdaning:
If rom comes as a zip, then extract the payload.bin and fastboot flash the files inside.

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] djuniah:
Just updated to the latest Q beta and wanted to install the new magisk canary via TWRP and I can't seem to get it to boot. I'm just using the 3.3.0 blueline image from the TWRP site and "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img" from fastboot. However, after sending the boot image, and displaying "booting" in the terminal, i get a "FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))" message. Here are some things that i've tried:

- Different USB cables

- Rebooting the host machine

- Updating the google USB drivers and fastboot version to the most recent

- Using a different computer

- Tried booting TWRP 3.2.3, same issue (i've definitely booted that version before...)

Some other points to note:

- Booted twrp successfully many times before on this device

- Running stock google software (Just updated to latest Q beta)

I've done a bit of searching but can't find anything else to try. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

EDIT: I was able to boot that 3.3.1 build that was posted but I can't mount data on it.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
There is no TWRP for Q (won't be until at some point after public release probably). Here is a quick post on how to root from the 3XL section.

Ah, didn't realize that the Q update somehow changed the ability to just boot the older recoveries. Don't remember seeing that happen before with older versions of android. I appreciate the info.

EDIT: I had tried the manual method as well, but as soon as i put in my unlock code the whole device stopped working. Launcher wouldn't load and the wifi didn't seem to connect. I could still "adb reboot bootloader" though to restore the original boot.img

does the builds of 3.3.x for the Pixel3 XL aren't also compatible with Android 10 ??
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
No, they aren't. Fortunately, everything that TWRP has been relied on with the Pixel 3 and 3 XL can be worked around currently (root, kernel flashing, getting out of Magisk module bootloops). Even though there have been no official custom ROMs built for 10, installation (once they are live) can be accomplished with fastboot/fastbootd. No idea if custom ROMs will go live with that method or if TWRP will be available by then.

Hey brother quick question,,,is there a separate set up for fastboot d? I have tried to fastboot the Android 10 factory images but always get the something, something,"must be done in fastbootd" error in min fastboot. It never goes past that?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
you must download latest fastboot from Google
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
You do need the newest fastboot/platform tools, but also do you have a path set up for your fastboot directory? That or dropping the flash-all directly into your fastboot directory is necessary. The fastbootd setup is part of the new recovery. If you go to recovery and select "enter fastboot," it will take you into fastbootd.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Surge1223:
Actually we all use stock recovery and sideload ROM zips. While true that you can use fastbootd to flash the partitions needed to boot the rom. Its kinda more involved than that, you have to generate a super_emtpy.img, make a super img and flash in a certain order. Much easier to sideload .

Twrp will probably not be available for a while, 10 changed everything .
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
No disagreement Surge. That's why I said "work around" even including custom ROMs. I'm sure you know more about the process of building a ROM that can be loaded without TWRP than I do. I have only used a handful of custom ROMs since getting the OG Pixel (after flashing constantly on other devices), and the desire now is probably even less. Like you said, 10 changed everything.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bitnerd:
Sorry, I must have missed something. Where can I find instructions on how to work with the latest fastboot and sideloading capabilities?

I had my phone rooted with magisk but must have loaded something it doesn't like since it now only hangs on boot. I can't normally disable the modules via twrp and using adb to execute "magisk --remove-modules" doesn't seem to help. I would really like to not have to wipe it if I can
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sliding_billy:
Here is what you want. This will boot you into Magisk core-only mode. Then you can disable your modules, flash stock boot.img and re-root.

Has google never really been ok with roms and rooting etc, or have they just recently changed there stance on the matter?
