i flashed magisk 17.3 in TWRP but now when i set a pin it says incorrect pin when i try to unlock (but still unlocks the phone) and it also wont let me use a fingerprint.

given i have decrypted... i cant even add a finger print to unlock.

You can have Magisk without TWRP.

Nice work (and just in time, lol) [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION]

I'm "supposed" to get my Pixel 3 XL on Monday. I'll be happy to work with you after I get settled in, if someone else hasn't joined your party before then :good:

No Touch here either

Is this a widespread issue or is it just a few of us?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ariel_PR:
I also have no touch on 3XL 128gb. TWRP works fine when I boot it through fastboot but after I install it (and reboot) the touch stops working.

A reset in stock recovery will only reset the user data and not replace files that have been changed or removed. If it's failing or still not booting you'll have to flash the factory image and start fresh.

Alright, so, that worked to get a factory image with the November update installed. Still getting a boot error when trying to install Magisk 17.3. Feeling like maybe I might just need to wait for another stable release to be put out.

What was your process?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jawonder:
I Unlocked bootloader and reboot system, setup phone. I then copied over TWRP 3.2.3.1.zip and Magisk 17.3 beta to phone storage . Then reboot to bootloader by restarting phone and holding volume down after black screen . Then did "fastboot boot" in terminal and drag TWRP . img, click return . After TWRP boots up i put in my password and swiped to decrypt . I then flashed TWRP .zip and then reboot recovery . Then i flashed Magisk 17.3 beta and after install i reboot system where i'm stuck on the "G" and boots back to TWRP.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toboggan:
Same. Also tried canary builds, same result. Currently running stock with November update until this gets sorted out.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Try installing twrp and magisk at the same time. Don't reboot to recovery then flash magisk.

Not sure if that will make a difference or not.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jawonder:
Yeah, did that . I think the problem is with Magisk.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:

Yes there is a magisk module for that.

Also I suggest you may want to take this to another thread now that you have twrp installed.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] purple.epod:
I booted twrp and flashed Magisk 17.3 on the November update and had no issues. Are you sure you flashed the right twrp zip? You can only flash the twrp-installer zip, NOT the basic twrp zip that you boot with 'fastboot boot twrp.img' to initially bring up recovery.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sammysdad:
A bit of help please.

Happy Black Friday. Just got my 3 XL this morning. Booted up only to turn on ADB debugging and hit the unlock bootloader toggle.

Unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP 3.2.3-1 and Magisk 17.3. As far as I can tell I did everything correctly IE: temp TWRP from ADB then installed TWRP.zip then installed Magisk. Now I can't boot at all. I have tried reflashing Magisk, but nothing. TWRP seems to be installed properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for trying to help. I just tried again and no joy. Boots back to TWRP. I have read this thread and others. Since I can't boot and file tranfer doesn't work I can't flash a kernel or a different version of Magisk any other thing to try using ADB?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lollyjay:

I'm embarrassed to ask this but I've been rooted since I bought my Pixel 3 XL since I got it last month, but now I would like to install TWRP but a little confused on what to do and don't want to factory reset or wipe my phone or lose root.

Is there a simple way to install TWRP Recovery, while already being rooted ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lollyjay:
Have you read the instructions in the first post? If you still have questions then please ask them here
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
Yes, fastboot boot twrp.img and within twrp flash the twrp.zip
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Ok thanks, so per the OP, I downloaded the zip, and the .img files. So now plug the phone into the PC, throw both files onto the phone, then just turn off the phone and hold Pwr + vol down to get to the fastboot menu ?

Then use Command Prompt to flash the /img, then reboot into the newly installed Recovery ? And flash the TWRP zip in there ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
You don't want to flash the .img

You just want to fastboot boot twrp.img which will boot up a temporary twrp and from within that you flash the .zip which gives you a permanent twrp
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Ok flashed the TWRP.img, phone rebooting, now n the White Google screen for awhile ...

It booted to the TWRP screen, I went to Install, clicked the TWRP zip, and flashing. Now option to Reboot system, doing that now, hopefully I stay rooted here?

Hmm...uh...rebooting, see the white Google screen, then it goes back some screen with a red triangle with ! WTF?

Ok, somehow I got back into the TWRP Recovery, but I can't seem to press anything ? Clicking Reboot or Install tabs does nothing
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lollyjay:
Reboot recovery
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
It's already been explained that you should not flash the twrp.img.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Ok, I flashed the TWRP.img while in fastboot mode via ADB, then booted into TWRP Recovery, and then Install the TWRP zip, flashed that, but I pressed reboot system, as I thought that was it, did not know I need to Reboot Recovery.

So now I got back into TWRP Recovery, but I cannot press any of the tabs in here. Screen timed out, now I can't even swipe to Unlock in Recovery
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
do not flash the twrp.img. please read that sentence and make sure you comprehend it.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

To fix your mess up.

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot flash boot stockboot.img

Reboot

Start over and follow the instructions in the OP
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
The advice given was "Yes, fastboot boot twrp.img and within twrp flash the twrp.zip" which I did.

I used ADB in Fastboot mode to install the TWRP.img, then I booted into the new TWRP Recovery, and flashed the ZIP for TWRP, but I rebooted system, not reboot Recovery, and I think that's where I screwed up ? Now I am back in TWRP Recovery, but I can't press anything.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
fastboot boot does not equal fastboot flash

You're not understanding this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Ok...I did not "

flash

" anything in fastboot mode, I "

installed

" TWRP.img, which allowed me then to boot into the official TWRP Recovery mode, which is then where I "

flashed

" the ZIP, then rebooted system, and that's why I am here asking questions. But apparently I was supposed to "reboot recovery" instead right after flashing the zip in recovery. But I didn't, so now I'm stuck on what to do, and have zero time for a full system wipe and starting from scratch again, F that
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
You should not be flashing or installing the twrp.img. You should be only booting it. This is a temporary, "one-time" action that does not install or flash the .img.

I told you above how to fix this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
That makes sense of course, and I understand. Sorry I'm using the wrong terminology wording here.

So I got TWRP Recovery booted via ADB fastboot, and I understand that's why you need to "flash" the TWRP zip, which then that's the official way to truly install TWRP Recovery onto your phone. Makes total sense. But I think I screwed up, after flashing the zip in recovery, I pressed reboot system, I was supposed to reboot Recovery, so now what?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
I never rebooted recovery.

You need to start over with the stock boot that I mentioned above. When you later flash the TWRP zip, I would immediately flash magisk.zip afterward and reboot system.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Ugh, ok, this sounds like a long process ahead of me now, my system is borked it seems, now I need to start fresh from scratch ?

Ok...so I download the November Factory Image from here;

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

And then find the "stockboot.img" in there, and flash that in ADB fastboot mode ?

Ok...so I downloaded that large 1.7GB file, I extracted both the system.img ( 2.,210,625 KB ) and boot.img ( 65,536 KB ) into my adb platform-tools folder.

So now I am in a holding pattern stumped on what to do next.

I did boot into TWRP again, via ADB, the tabs were working, so I flashed the TWRP zip again, this time pressing reboot Recovery, it reboots, but hangs at the the black screen with the red triangle ! I press reboot recovery, it goes into TWRP, but again, no touch response works, it's just sitting there in TWRP Recovery now, but I can't do anything.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
Dude. Fastboot flash boot boot.img.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
I appreciate your help, thank you.

I did that, and Windows PowerShell said " FAILED (remote: 'Not allowed to flash (boot)')

I will say, my fastboot screen looks different than it used too. Now it's red triangle with !. before I recall the screen being mostly yellow writing in Fastboot mode, not red like now.

Ok did it again, this time it showed Sending 'boot_a' OKAY. Writing 'boot_a' OKAY
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
Are you 100 percent sure your platform tools are up-to-date?

If so, flash the November factory image with the -w removed.

Just saw the rest of your post after your edit.

You're not in fastboot mode.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
The command is fastboot boot twrp.img Don't use the flash
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mitchdickson:
To flash the stock boot so that he can restart the process?

It's fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
It's like I don't have Fastboot mode anymore? Why is it the red triangle thing now ? Saying "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly."

How do I get back into the original typical Fastboot mode with the yellow writing ? Hold the Pwr Btn + Vol Dwn, gets me back to this red triangle screen.

My Platform Tools are most recent from I bought my Pixel 3 XL last month, everything's just a month old.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
Your right, my bad. But you might have to flash each slot separetly. I ran into that problem.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
I do the

.\Fastboot flash boot boot.img

It says OKAY

Then I type

.Fastboot reboot

Says "Rebooting"

Finished Total time: 0.047s.

but it's still in that red triangle screen
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Topse:
-Reboot to bootloader using the power keys

-flash the stock boot with fastboot (fastboot flash boot_a boot.img)

(fastboot flash boot_b boot.img)

-Reboot the bootloader

-Reboot to system (to test if its boot fine...)

If not ask before you do any thing.

-Reboot to bootloader using the power keys

-fastboot boot twrp.img

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
No offense but if you're having trouble with this you may want to go fully stock and lock your bootloader
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Sucks that updates aren't as simple as they were in the glory days of rooting Android. The old Nexus and OnePlus phones are a lot easier to manage with Root and ROMs and updates. But ever since the Pixel phone and this duel partition stuff, it became a lot more complicated and longer process to root and ROM, and doing the monthly updates nowhere near as easy and fast like the old Nexus or even OnePlus phones.

For now I'm happy to be back on stock and no hassle, just for the ease of the monthly updates, but I do terribly miss the themes, I wish they would get Andromeda to work for Android pie to allow Substratum theme.

First stock Google phone I bought was the Nexus-One, and I waited in line first day the Nexus-S came out. Since have owned the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, the Pixel 2 XL, and now Pixel 3 XL. Used to root and ROM them all, except stopped with the Pixel 2 XL as I found stock to be really good for once. I did root it at first, but found the monthly updates to be a pain in the ass to install when rooted. So I went back to stock for most the time having that phone, and honestly could barely tell the difference, as stock was that good.

Saying that, maybe best I just remain stock now again. Really don't have the time to to waste tinkering away on my phone. I just want smooth stock vanilla Android running smooth as butter with the latest updates and zero hassle.

Are you using the usb c to c cable? I used that when I first tried and got nothing but errors and got stuck on the Google g screen. Had to use usb a to c cable. Other than that it's not that hard if you follow the step by step guide which is what I did since I haven't messed with root or anything since the Nexus 6p
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
I guess I just fail to understand what I did wrong ?

I used adb fastboot to push the TWRP .img which then got me into TWRP Recovery. I then flashed the TWRP zip in Recovery, and pressed Reboot system.

From there it all went down hill. The phone did not boot up for some unknown reason, but instead restarted to some weird fastboot with the red ! triangle. And that's what took me forever to troubleshoot, and I got so frustrated I just instead did the flash-all.bat file method with the latest system.img, and said to hell with all this BS.

On my OnePlus phones it's not this complicated, it's pretty straightforward and easy to flash latest updates and rooting and ROM'ing is night and day faster and simpler.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jawonder:
Did you flash the Magisk zip after you flash the TWRP zip ?.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Nope. Did not know that was a crucial step ? I guess I know I'd need that for root, but didn't think it was a must have just to install TWRP Recovery officially.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
The thing you did wrong is you fastboot FLASHed the .img instead of fastboot BOOTing the .img
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
I was using the command ' fastboot boot boot.img ' because the first time it worked, the phone rebooted into TWRP Recovery. From there I went into Install in Recovery, found the TWRP zip, flashed that like I've done on a million phones before. Rebooted the phone.

But the phone didn't reboot, it instead went into some weirdo red triangle fastboot thing, and I could not get the phone to restart into the system again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
Did you fastboot FLASH the stock boot.img first? You flashed the twrp.img first so if you didn't start over with the stock boot.img it wouldn't have mattered.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Ok so that's where I screwed up. I forgot to realize I needed to flash the latest system boot.img first in TWRP, and then flash TWRP zip after that. The OP seemed a little vague to me, I prefer the extreme detailed step by step guides like CZ Eddie make, like this which totally saved my butt here;

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/info-how-restored-to-stock-soft-t3494478
