I know we don't have a huge following, but I figured more than one person would complain if I messed up the build somehow :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ibeddine:
i didn't complain sir, and as i said Thank you for the ROM as an appreciation of your hard work, if you want proofs i can upload them as an attachment anyway that i really had a problem with the Vendor :o

Oh ya its got a few bugs. My Back button does not work :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Wasn't implying that you were complaining, lol, just meant that if there was a real problem, I'd know by now

We got a TG group for instant comm

back is working fine here, any particular app where it isnt working?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hexxor93:
Been using your rom for the last 24 hours and so fars been super smooth and no issues :) Thanks for the awesome rom guys!

Theres a ui bug on my phone where if you do the dark theme when using the volume keys it has a white box at the bottom (which is the settings), no biggy tho! :)

I had the Vendor notice, flashing the aug vendor got rid of it (that was from a device wipe and factory image). Plus can use google pay again :D (not rooted which is awesome!)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DsturbD:
Screenshot of that white box for reference

I'm usually running a Substratum theme and therefore hadn't noticed, thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
I posted in TG group, now posting here, this has been fixed :good:

Lots of stuff happening tomorrow, will get the September Pie patches in Wed or Thur and release v2.9

hi, NepoRood,

1. I tried to flash latest Scorpion-v3.0-blueline-20191218-2259-Beta.zip on my Pixel 3, but got "error 28 kdownloadoperationexecutionerror" in TWRP. Maybe you know how to solve that problem?

2. where we can get version 2.8 for blueline?

3. what for is the boot.img, hosted on the download page?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Scorpion v2.x is no longer in development, we are now doing v3.x (Android 10), you should go here for more information
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eudeferrer:
I still cannot install this ROM, even though I am trying to follow all the directions in OP. Here is what I did.

1. fastboot flash vendor crosshatch-vendor-PQ1A.181205.006.img --slot all

system goes through the expected ritual of flashing.

2. Rebooted to TWRP recovery and Wiped/Advanced Wiped: Dalvik / ART Cache, system and data

3. Flashed the ROM zip and it finished.

4. Flashed the TWRP install zip

5. Rebooted Recovery

6. Here is where things did not go well. At this point, my TWRP dis not want to Install the "Current Vendor Image" (for a 2nd time). It also did not recognize my USB drive C where I had my recovery image.

7. Rebooted (Tried to reboot into system)

8. Stuck on dancing lights for a long long time but it never boots to system.

What am I doing wrong? I can't figure it out.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
I have up to date sdk -- but when I type the commands exactly (copy / paste) that you here it doesn't recognize the set active command --- something about not knowing the command "a"
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
--set active=a, aside from that, I got it working! Nice rom. What I did after flashing ROM and twrp zip, reboot to bootloader and "fastboot --flash all vendor vendor.img", and it worked for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SinisterXReaper:
Here's what I did that worked for me.

1. Rebooted to TWRP recovery and wiped/advanced wipe: Dalvik/ART cache, system, and data.

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash TWRP install zip

4. Reboot recover. I wanted to make sure everything was good and I still had touch.

5. Reboot to fastboot

6.fastboot flash vendor

7. ????

8. Profit.

The only thing I did differently from what you did, is I flashed the vendor after all of the installing of zips without booting the system. Took maybe 4 minutes to boot up. After I set the phone up, I went back into recovery and flashed magisk. I hope this helps.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Thank you -- it's actually

fastboot --set-active=a
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SinisterXReaper:
You may have quoted the wrong person. In any case, I definitely look forward to what's to come!

Does Google's active edge/squeeze for assistant work on this rom?

Unless I'm missing something, no it doesn't.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] UniX1rm:
got stuck on the boot animation for 15 minutes then gave up.

Did everything except, when I rebooted to twrp after flashing the rom and twrp installer, all the files were gone, did not have an option to install the vendor, so did via bootloader, then got stuck. Any recommendations?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Just curious

Any possible way to flash everything including the vendor within TWRP?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SinisterXReaper:
I'm not sure. Flashing the vendor through TWRP is what I initially was planning on doing, but when I rebooted back to TWRP I saw my files were gone (which magically reappeared when I went to flash magisk ?) plus, after some reading, I saw that flashing the vendor from TWRP only flashed to the active slot and was causing issues, so I had no issues with rebooting to fastboot and flashing the vendor from there.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] UniX1rm:
2nd Post:

Just tried again, clean flash december factory.

Followed the steps flashed vendor later after the installation. Stuck on boot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
No, it doesn't. Also never worked on the PIxel 2 with custom ROMs I was told. Doesn't bother me because I was setting it off just about every time I picked up my phone, lol

This has happened to me a few times before, TWRP just can't "find the files", you can push files to device using ADB though.

I don't know why some of you are getting stuck on the boot animation, I did a clean install yesterday and setup just fine. Even downloaded the ROM from AFH just to make sure it would work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] oman0123:
Add me to the list of getting stuck at the boot animation. clean flashed December update 3 times, no bueno. Cant wait to actually try this! Thank you for everything!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Can you, or anyone else stuck, try grabbing some logs?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] oman0123:
Im about to hit the hay but if no one does by tomorrow ill post it. Just to make sure you use the 'adb logcat' command when booting up the phone, yes?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Yes, this should do the trick:

adb logcat -d > boot.txt
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] oman0123:
ok so im a glutton punishment and decided to pull that logcat for you and all im getting is a blank boot.txt on my desktop.

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

annnnnnnd now theres nothing No boot animation, twrp wont fastboot. Had to flash-all without the -w. Not too sure what happened. Back into the backup I made. I'll try again in the morning.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
I flashed the November full image after being unable to boot flashing this ROM. After that, I followed the op, after flashing ROM and twrp, I rebooted to bootloader, and flashed vendor to both slots and rebooted. This worked for me after boot looping many times trying from the DEC update. I still flashed DEC vendor like the op says. Surprisingly it worked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Interesting, I bet that's the problem people are having then, the new December bootloader (radio is the same as November). I'm still using November bootloader as well and haven't had any issues, nice find man :good:

EDIT:

If a couple people having issues will flash the bootloader from November and confirm that the ROM boots after, I'll update the OP
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] UniX1rm:
Alright, flashed November and booted in under 2 mins. When I was on december I was getting stuck. The only thing is I can't sideload twrp with adb, but that was fine because I flashed the vendor from the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Sorry, your post is a little confusing. All that should be required is flashing the November boot loader, then follow the install instructions.

Were you trying to sideload the vendor image?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lukemo:
Dear NepoRood, I'm tempted to flash your ROM, only two quick questions:

1) Is it similar to the other GZRoms? I'm speaking of the customization options

2) Do you know if Trusted Faces is working in your ROM?

Thanks a lot for your job.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blaze9090:
Anyone got substratum working?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
We have everything that current GZOSP has, plus we added some other features and have more to add. Yes, trusted face works

Yes, Substratum works. Choose your theme, then Build & Update, go to Manager and Change Overlay States to apply (no rebooting required ;))
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blaze9090:
Asking because substratum keeps crashing at around 20% while activating no matter what I do. System ui has to reload then.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Let it finish, once it reloads, you can go to manager and activate your overlays. It's a bit glitchy, for lack of a better word, but it does work :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] UniX1rm:
Sorry for being confusing.

I was trying the on December there was nothing that mentioned to not use December, so I was over my head. Which is my bad.

November worked for me. Also twrp doesn't support sideloading to try to copy the vendor to the SD. Best bet is OTG which was buggy but fastboot does the job.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
No worries, thanks for the extra confirmation on using the November boot loader. I recently updated the OP in order to help everyone.

To push a file to the device, you don't use side load (that's for installing), just ADB, like so

adb push vendor.img /sdcard

where "vendor.img" would be whichever file you want to push and "/sdcard" is where you are pushing to on the device :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] UniX1rm:
I was fine with the rom. all the the sudden everything is black. Phone was charged, and cannot get to fastboot seems dead. Trying to power it up will leave at the charger for a little bit. Weird that all the power combinations are not working and not recognized by the computer.

Edit, NVM I was able to get back in when I put it on the pixel charger for a couple of minutes. Nothing happened when I used the cable. I don't think it is the rom, could be hardware, but I am switching off for a while since I'll RMA this device for bad speakers anyways. I'll be back to testing in a couple of weeks.

Waiting to know the features of this rom
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Maybe you need the entire November firmware, lol, only difference appears to be the boot loader though. Everything else is over written by the ROM zip...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abduljaz7:
Can't get substratum to work. It crashes the system ui every time, whether I choose build and enable or build and update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] WhiteReign:
Seems best to wait at this point. :( Oh well back to Battle Field V
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
What theme are you using? For me, the Substratum app itself restarts, then when I go to overlay manager all the overlays are there, just need to enable them. I've tried with a few different themes, same results.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Try installing this and see if it helps. It did for me, and mine would crash all the time also.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KhaymanOIF09:
Same problem here, I tried flashing the November firmware and for some reason it just hung at the g logo screen at bootup. When I flashed the December firmware it worked and booted right up. No clue lol. I followed directions in op, followed what other people said got it working for them and still no go just sits at the spinning 4 dots. I was on the December firmware, flashed the bootloader and vendor in the op not sure what's going on will try again this evening when I get home from work. Not expecting any change tho.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Yeah, I'm not sure why, but I figured that was the issue. Like I said I had the same issue.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

If you can flash this again, grab a lot at while it is attempting to boot (the four spinning dots). It may give us a clue as to what the issue may be.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
I've been suffering through some Samsung devices,, waiting on OEM unlock etc

Love my new Pixel but relearning using the PC has been a challenge lol

I am on Dec security

Fortunately made a TWRP backup

I tried the flash here and got the same 4 circling balls stuck on boot as well

Finally was able to get back to my backup

If anyone figures this out please let us know ..... Would love to try this ROM !!!

Hey [MENTION=7396816]Bryanx86[/MENTION]

I've been trying to get this to work.

After you flashed the full Nov did you reboot and setup or just go straight to flashing the ROM via OPs instructions?

I to tried just the Nov bootloader alone and still got the stock at boot issue

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Try doing just a factory reset, instead of advanced wipe, flash ROM then TWRP and reboot. See if that works for you
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Ok ,,, but do you mean straight from my Dec stock rom?

And should I try flashing bl or vendor before trying to flash?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:

Installing TWRP is always optional.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Hey btw when you boot to TWRP from fastboot how do you access files from internal storage

It seems like I could access when I was trying to do things once ??
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Yeah, sometimes they just don't show up, but will be there the next time you boot. I haven't messed with latest version too much (3.2.3-2) so don't know if that resolves anything or not
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KhaymanOIF09:
well I was messing with it all evening trying to get back to that spot with the spinning dots, finally got it about 20 minutes ago and got a log, but the log is not going to be any help as it booted into the rom this time. what I ended up doing to get it to work was, flashing the November firmware with -w still there to wipe everything, had to to that twice for it to boot. once it booted into the November firmware I grabbed the rom again and booted into fastboot and flashed the vendor to all. then booted into twrp via fastboot boot twrp.img cannot use the new twrp file I was getting errors had to use the 3.2.3-1. once in twrp I flashed the rom and skipped installing twrp. it took about 2 - 3 minutes but finally booted up.

I kept getting soft bricks with trying to install twrp both old and new file while trying to flash the rom also. so seems to solve the problem if you just fastboot boot twrp.img and not install it.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

I tried using the new one 3.2.3-2 with flashing the rom and it gave nothing but errors, android error applying update 51 kpayloadtimestamperror, that is what kept coming up with trying to install the rom. 3.2.3-1 didnt throw any errors. not sure if the new one is having issues or if it is just not compatible with the rom for some reason.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Cool

When you booted to TWRP via fastboot was the ROM zip on your internal storage ? Or how did you access it?

I've never done flash all bat with the -w ... Does it wipe your internal storage?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KhaymanOIF09:
Yes with -w it will wipe the internal storage. When I did flash all with that I booted back into the os so I could redownload the ROM. When I fastbooted into twrp it was still in my downloads folder. You need to setup a pin screen lock and when you boot into twrp it will ask for it to decrypt the internal storage so you can see everything.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Damn that's a pita
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KhaymanOIF09:
Yea it was took me a solid 2 -3 hours to get it working with trying everything and that was my last ditch effort before I gave up lol not sure if something with the December build was causing an issue or not. Might make a back up and then flash back to December and try again and see if it gets stuck and get a log for the guys to look at to figure it out. But that won't be until tomorrow 5am comes awfully early lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
It's a real pima that some things work for some people, but not others, to get this ROM installed.

I never had any problems with installing, been using it for a couple weeks now. Going back and forth with stock, SMH

Gonna get worked out for sure!

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

So curious .... Have any luck at preserving data going back and forth to stock??
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
To go back to stock I just restored a TWRP backup, if it didn't boot, I then flashed firmware with -w removed.

Till we got ROM stable enough for me to use daily. I never flashed the December update
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dacian97:
excuse me but, holy ****kkkk, finally got it to work.

i flashed full november, without -w, fastboot flashed vendor to both slots, boot into twrp 3.2.3-1, wiped dalvik/art cache, system and data, flashed rom, reboot and booted up in a few mins..

was having sooooo many issues, finallyyyyyy got through.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
[MENTION=230362]jcrompton[/MENTION] I went through set up after flashing full Nov image with flash-all windows script. I didn't setup an account but went through the process and gave adb debugging permission for my phone. Afterwards I just followed the op and after flashing the rom in twrp, I rebooted to bootloader and flash --slot all vendor.img. Dec vendor

So to recap:

-Flash full November stock with -w

-go through set up (skip through)

-Download rom

-give adb debugging permission in settings

-boot to bootloader, boot twrp

-wipe full, except storage

-flash ROM(twrp optional)

-reboot to bootloader

-fastboot flash --slot all vendor vendor.img

This is what worked for me finally, on a whim at that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
Hmmmm ..... Is the ROM now stable enough to use daily??? Lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dacian97:
[/COLOR]

i think for some reason everytime i boot into twrp via fastboot, it boots onto slot b, if i change to slot a from twrp, it doesnt actually go to slot a, it's still b.......

?????

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

yuppppppp, i followed my steps before that let me successfully boot into rom, but this time instead of booting straight into system after flashing the room,

i reboot into bootloader and using fastboot set active slot to a, reboot......no bueno, no splash no nothing, i reboot into bootloader, set active slot to b, then reboot, everything worked, went straight into the rom.

booting into twrp 3.2.3-1 always seems to go to slot B, no matter how many times i change the slot once im in twrp, it doesnt actually do anything? it's still in slot b, it still installs the rom on slot b....

idk, im not too knowledgeable about the whole A/B slot system, but i think that's what's going on?

[MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION] what do you think?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jcrompton:
My problem is that when I flash Nov factory without the -w and go to recovery my data is encrypted so I can't access my files in internal storage

And if i try to reboot to the ROM (to check security pin) I'm stuck in a boot loop

So unless I'm missing something in your process then I'm not sure it's possible without flashing Nov with the -w

??

Do you maybe not have your data encrypted ??
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dacian97:
set a pin before you flash nov without -w, it should keep the pin .

so set a pin before you flash with nov,

flash nov without -w,

reboot into bootloader, fastboot the vendor to both slots,

then boot into twrp

wipe dalvik/art cache, system and data

flash rom

reboot.

see how that goes.
