(aimed at no one in particular) - Please don't insult people. It reflects worse on you than on the person you insult. It also threatens the health of our community as a whole.

FWIW - I also had problems installing TWRP on the P3XL, which I first tried after a fresh flash of the November factory image. I don't remember what finally made it work, but it took several tries and some tinkering. I *think* when it finally worked, it had to do with installing a different kernel - which also resolved the touch issues in TWRP.

Unfortunately, if someone doesn't have the time to tinker, it might be best to remain stock. And to the point of others here, following instructions exactly is usually very important to avoid wasted time or worse.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ins5736:
I fear I've really screwed up.

I booted the twrp 3.2.3-1 img and then installed the zip. I rebooted and the phone started up no problem.

I rebooted into the bootloader and then started recovery. TWRP loaded and I flashed the Magisk zip.

The phone hung on the G splash screen for 10 minutes.

I rebooted into TWRP and flashed the magisk uninstaller.

The phone hung on the G splash screen for 10 minutes.

I tried both of the factory images from Google. The batch file reads as follows.

When I try to boot into recovery, instead of stock I see TWRP and touchscreen doesn't work.

First, make sure you have the latest sdk tools and fastboot. Then flash the stock boot image to both slots, boot_a and boot_b.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ins5736:
Thanks! I just found the same answer in the Help forum and was coming back to delete this. Much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure I lost 5 years off my life from outdated adb and fastboot. :mad:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zorachus:
Thanks for the kind reply, much appreciated, that was nice.

I'll look around for this toolkit
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
Yeah, any time your working with a major change in Android, 8.0 to 9.0, expect the sdk tools to change and update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frewys:
Would you mind linking or copy a step by step?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
Google sdk platform tools. You only need fastboot and adb.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frewys:
Not sure how SDK platform tools will help me

I get the same errors as you when I try to flash the November factory images.

Seems my phone is dead beside bootloader
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
When the pixel 2 xl came out you could not unlock the phone properly unless you has the most current sdk tools. Same with the 3 update to the latest and try flash-all with -w removed if that gets you past the bootloader but still can't get the pho e to boot you should flash-all with the -w. That will wipe the phone but get out back.

Edit I know you are not trying to unlock the bootloader I am just saying the most current solve issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
What do you mean by your phone is dead? It turns on, right? And you can boot to the bootloader? If you don't have the latest version of fastboot you won't be able to flash anything properly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frewys:

Fastboot is the only thing that is working but having you issue it looks like as I try to ADB flash-all.bat

No it doesn't include the newest. You need r28.0.1. Google what I told you then extract the file. You'll see fastboot and adb in there, and other files. You only need fastboot and adb. Replace what ever your have on your PC with those.

Im getting 1970 dates for all my TWRP backups. Has a bug report been filed with the developers?

Can we just rename the folder in the mean time?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] capsnbottles:
How do I go from twrp back to stock recovery? Anyway to factory reset or am I stuck with twrp for awhile? Sorry new to this stuff. In the past I used toolkit when I got stuck or wanted to go back

Never mind, problem solved.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c_86:
No offence but you might want to do more reading before modding and stop using tool kits

Yes you can. Flash boot.img to both slots and twrp will be gone and back to stock recovery.

Worst case flashall.bat with -w removed and you will get stock recovery again
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] capsnbottles:
Figured it out, thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sliding_billy:
To be honest, I hadn't thought about it again (even though I am normally pretty obsessive about little stuff like that) since the backup folder is quietly tucked away where I don't see it. I have not personally filed a bug since I figure they have more important stuff to take care of. I don't see any reason the folder couldn't be renamed since any file integrity would have nothing to do with the folder name.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Yes, you can change the name before you do the backup
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jd1639:
You can rename them.

Hey everyone. Has anyone had issues with phone rebooting shortly after trying to do a backup? Mine will get about 20% of the way in, then the phone will suddenly reboot. It will reboot to the rom, but I've never seen that happen before. I'm on stock rooted with Magisk and Proton kernel installed. I have a Pixel 2 XL also, so I'm very familiar with doing backups and the a/b slots. Just wondering if I missed something already mentioned or if this is a new bug. Worse case, I'll just reflash stock and try to do nandroid with stock kernel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] vsot13:

And you'll be golden
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pro_b:
I appreciate the response. However, as I did mention, I also have a Pixel 2 XL so I'm familiar with how to do a backup and which partitions need to be selected (I mean no offense whatsoever in saying this). I've selected those as I've always done when doing a nandroid backup. However, literally about a minute into performing the backup the screen will just go black and suddenly reboot into the rom. I go to check the folder and there is no twrp backup. Not even a partial one. If no one else has seen this happen, I may just back everything up and perform a clean install of factory image, then root, then try backup again. Again, thanks for the response.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] vsot13:
I'm quitting you, because I have the same problem and after couple attend my phone went bonker lol. I had to start from scratch. Now I can do back up with above checked
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pro_b:
Lol. Well at least I know it’s likely a bug now. I’ll try a fresh install

Edit: I resolved the issue by just flashing factory firmware for Nov, reinstalled TWRP, then magisk and now I'm able to make a backup.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cvoid:
Got my Pixel3XL today and first thing to do is Magisk+TWRP (as always;))

Sadly, I failed.

1st try:

OEM Unlock -> fastboot boot twrp image -> Install TWRP and Magisk -> OS not starting :/ (grey bar looping under the G Logo...)

2nd try:

reflashed the stock bootloader and radio and did a complete fastboot -w update image-crosshatch-pq1a.181105.017.a1.zip

rebooted into twrp, installation of Magisk 17.3 without any error and sadly Android is not booting...

after ~ 5 Mins "android Recovery" (just a fest lines is present and written in red "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device"

What am I doing wrong?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
After you oem unlock, you have to boot to give permission in Dev options to adb debugging for your computer, and also to let the system image boot up once. After locking, unlocking, flashing boot image, any image, changing things phone needs to boot once.

Hi , first at all , if u install the correct driver (i used clockworkmods universal adb&&fastboot) adb works on twrp on pixel 3xl , 2nd my touchscreen does not work on boot , i need to boot the img for it to work if i boot it from my phone it doesnt work
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cvoid:
yep I did that, otherwise I wouldn't be able to boot into twrp
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
Maybe try just installing one zip each reboot so you can minimize the possibilities of what it can be. Need more information because I had no trouble rooting and flashing twrp. There are a couple of step-by-step guides, just follow the directions to a t and you shouldn't have problems. Unless you have a defunct device...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
I've never successfully been able to root with Magisk 17.3, others have, but I haven't. I've been using the same Canary build of Magisk that I got when I was first trying to root. I haven't had any problems with it, on stock or a custom ROM.

My advice would to be to go that route if you're having problems, Link
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] old_fart:
Hi,

I chased your link. . . and then clicked on the "Debug Channel" link . . and then I'm guessing I need to go snag this one ? . . "link": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/magisk-debug.zip", . . and I dnld it and compare . . . the size of the 17.3 that I grabbed two months ago ( time flies ! ) is : 4,081 kb . . . and this canary ( magisk-debug.zip ) is : 7,844 kb . . .

Is correct ? thks.

Do you know how to do it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
That's why you open a command prompt in the Platform-tools folder. Where fastboot and all the files you want to fastboot are i.e. fastboot boot twrp.img

I think you should reread the guide.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Put phone in fastboot mode

Connect it to computer

Windows

Note: All the files you want to fastboot including fastboot should be in this folder: D:\Stuff\platform-tools

Type these commands at the prompt:

PS D:\Stuff\platform-tools>

- fastboot devices

You should see device serial number

- adb reboot bootloader

- adb reboot

or

- fastboot reboot

- fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-crosshatch.img

If your'e using a Mac or Linux add .\ to commands
