softbricked

I followed all the instructions perfectly but now softbricked my phone. It got stuck in bootloop so I went back to TWPR . Didn't see my internal storage and from then on it stopped working completely. Can only boot into bootloader but it doesn't boot into TWPR or anything. Power button doesn't work. Help!!!!

Got it back up with flash-all command and stock image. What went wrong?? Scared to flash it again....
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rodentkj:
The power button likely still works. Hold it and the volume down button together, for a long time and it will likely enter Fastboot mode.

Then use the the instructions in Step #4 to flash the factory blueline image.

Note: that these instructions are aimed towards the Pixel 3 XL. Same steps / instructions work for the Pixel 3. Just make sure you have the correct files for the Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] eezdva:
Worked, thanks but what went wrong??? I followed the instructions perfectly...
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rodentkj:
Who knows?!?!

I soft bricked mine too the first try.

With that said, I attempted to also flash a custom kernel at the same time.

Surmise to say, flashing the Pix 3 with all the caveats that are associated with it can be challenging.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FilthyFord:
Did you check the md5 to make sure it was a good download?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] eezdva:
Not especially. I will try to do this now.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FilthyFord:
Also make sure that your in the same building that the rom is on (if your in March patch and rom is still in February patch or vice versa) that could make a difference as well.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] eezdva:
hmmmm, I was on the stable build with the latest factory image. Should I try the newest version of the ROM???
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FilthyFord:
You want to be on whatever patch the rom is on that your flashing. Sometimes the patch may not be a huge difference and sometimes it could be major changes. Plus the dev can't really help troubleshoot your issues if your basebands and patches don't match the roms.

Edit: looking at post 3, it don't look like he has updated the rom March image yet, or at least he hasn't updated that post. One or the other.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] retr0gr4d3:
Yep - no march yet. Sorry guys. I'm stuck at a crossroad, that will take maybe a day or two to overcome. I have an official build ready, that in theory is perfect. Only problem -> vendor thinks it's mismatched. It's not, but theres something in Dirty Unicorns' kernel causing it. Other than that, everything is fine.

Sorry to keep you all waiting!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LoneWanderer_97:
Same soft brick was a pain in the ass, but you guys should check "tool all in one" really streamlines the process of restoring factory images and flashing twrp

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] retr0gr4d3:
Once I have taken the post over, I will tweak the instructions so that they are very easy to understand. Let me recap here.

Download the builds from comment #195 for my builds (I'm the new maintainer).

Make sure that the build number matches the monthly security patch (ie. 20190228 is the 28th of February).

Flash the factory image corresponding to the month defined above (so flash February)

In order to flash, follow these steps;

- load TWRP through the bootloader, so

- go to wipe, and wipe all but "internal storage" and "storage" (so wipe Dalvik, System and Data)

- Flash the ROM and TWRP zips. (DO NOT flash custom kernel or Magisk prior to first boot. This causes a mess. Trust me.)

- AFTER you have completed standard setup, and you can access the launcher, then reboot to twrp and do what you like.

Simple as. Only ROM and TWRP should be flashed first time round. Only after the first boot is when you should make modifications like that.

Good luck. I'm ironing out March, so you should have a build soon.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] luckana:
I also encounter the softbrick issue and internal storage unavailability every time i clean flash or update the rom, i have abs no clue whatsoever what might be causing that. I can temporarily transfer files to the device in this weird state when in recovery via the all in one tool and then resolve it all. Really weird, my suspicion is that is has something to do with the dual slot architecture somehow
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Archmag3:
Is this ROM : BootleggersROM-Pie4blueline.4.0-Stable-Unshishufied-20190306-164613.zip is one with march patch ?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Xdevillived666:
Nope.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bzeimen:
Don't download from the first post. Those builds are broken. Go to page 20 of this thread and get the latest stable build from comment #195
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Archmag3:
Thanks! I saw that post and all I could see is Feb ROM, waiting for March build :)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ZeroSkylineX:
Does this ROM support Substratum theming? Specifically, aospUI? Also the post is inaccurate, ActiveEdge is supported on Pixel 2 as of January build. HavocOS has it.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bzeimen:
Substratum theming works on this rom just fine.

Active edge doesn't work on the Pixel 3 builds of this rom, regardless of what other roms have on other devices.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Xdevillived666:
Have there been any new releases then ? Or is this rom dead?

Trying to use latest on sourceforge and getting auto reboot to stock recovery "BootleggersROM-Pie4blueline.4.1-Stable-Shishufied-20190331-002240"
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
I think its probably that the rom got flashed to a different slot? try doing the whole flash process again to see if it works.

I had bootloop with that build probably because i was on april security patch already and the rom was build on March security till 31/03 build.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Xdevillived666:
Sorry I didn't respond. I reflashed and it went fine. Thanks.for the hard work.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] luckana:
I am currwntly on build 26/02 and i want to update to latest, would i be able to do it without data wipe ? And without bootloop as well ?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Xdevillived666:
You'd need to at least flash bootloader, radio, and vendor that corresponds to latest build date.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] luckana:
yeah i already flashed with no problems, for everyone to know, its a MUST to flash the aformentioned images on

both of the boot slots

of the phone
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
Is this ROM being updated?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rodentkj:
Nope.

Both the original OP and the person who was to take over the dev have fallen silent.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
Dang, that sucks. I was hoping to have a ROM for this thing similar to Havoc and this is the closest thing available.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
There is 4/7 build while the OP said latest is feb build.

Not sure there will be may build tho..
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
I'm on the 4/7 build. IMHO its pretty solid. Just wondering if this is going to be updated or if there are other ROMs out there similar to this one.

How is your battery life? I would like to try this. I'm on a different rom and my battery life isn't as good as the first rom I was running
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GohanBurner:
Actually pretty decent. I play Dragonball Legends at 60fps and after about an hour I only drain about 20%. Can underclock as well and not really notice any difference in smoothness and get even better battery life.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
I've tried this rom April build.

all looks good except,

the default font is condensed and it makes browser font condensed. I changed font on display setting but font in browser still remains same.

Ambient display is somewhat too bright compare to stock. is there any way to adjust the brightness of ambient display?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
removed this rom for aod problem, yeah it is too bright and you can't fix that here. try aquarios
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
Aquarios also has some problem for me on both April build and May build.

After using bluetooth device(it is my car audio for my case), it shows bluetooth connected even after bluetooth disconnected. This is just cosmetic problem, functional is ok.

sometimes it does not see 2.4GHz WiFi at all, only see 5GHz ssids.

Playground on camera makes the phone frozen if switch to front camera. It works fine on Bootleggers and stock.

phone is too laggy when enable showing touch point.

I will stick on stock with root for now.

I am feel bad since there are only 2 custom roms for blueline...

I used to use nexus 5, there are a lot of developers and plenty of custom roms but not any morefor pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
only 2 roms for blueline? there are many.. aosip, aquarios, aosp extended, bootleggers, scorpion rom, dirty unicorns, dotos, etc etc etc i tried them all :p some are shared here in xda (mainly in 3xl section), some on telegram, some on discord...
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
Oh is it?

I only checked in XDA pixel 3 forum, not XL, so I did not know that.

which one is most stable for you?

I tried DU, but it gave me some error on installing in twrp.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
official DU builds didn't flash with 3.2.3 twrp, you could just flash the RC builds. but with new twrp you can fish all DU roms. this was long discussed in DU discord server.

in terms of available features the best are probably aex and bootleggers, but both have the aod brightness problem. so I'm sticking with aquarios that is good too, have enough features and still it is stable for me, no aod problem or other big problems (but i don't use BT devices for now, or playground or touch points. also, WiFi always worked fine for me).

why don't you join aquarios telegram channel? if those are real bugs they'll be happy to fix them ;)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
yes, I will join it :)

I am trying AOSIP now, pixel 3XL forum is new world for me!

all pixel devs are there, not this forum.

Thank you for introducing new world :)

nvm...see next post! ;) :o
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] calebcabob:
Hey, I just tried EVERYTHING you reported and everything works 100% fine except you may have found a legit bug with the Playground in selfie mode thing. As far as everything else goes, I think there's something else going on here. I'm not saying you've done these things, but after multiple users (and myself) tested what you reported, my first thought was it has to be something on your end.

For instance, perhaps one of the following...?

1. You don't have the latest firmware flashed to BOTH slots.

2. You've uninstalled something from system

3. You've restored some funky data

4. You've disabled some services

Any of those things could potentially cause what you've reported. I'm sure I could think of more if I tried. I suggest you flash the latest Google image onto both slots, do a fresh AquariOS install, and DON'T restore data and see where that lands you. I bet you'll be in a much better place :)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
Thank you for the reply.

I was on April build and dirty flash to May with flashing google stuff, yes, I did on both slots.

I tried "flash-all" with May build and flash AquariOS, it says vendor version mis-match. I flashed vendor(May) again on both slots and now I got force close for setting app.

Let me play with this more for clean install....

BTW, I noticed this is Bootleggers thread lol.

I will report it on AquariOS thread after clean install.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Xdevillived666:

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Still waiting for root and probably working TWRP before jumping back to q (not worth the wiping of the device if I need to go back to pie)

Beta 1 worked great for me ?

Found it in Tasker App...

Lag issue

Hey, I've just installed this onto my Pixel 3 and everything's working okay, with the exception that I get a second or so of lag whenever I switch activities, slowing down the startup of any apps (counterproductive for a custom kernel). Any idea what might cause this?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
just out of curiosity, what version you flashed? Are you aware there is a telegram group sharing much more up-to-date builds compared to the ones you find here in this thread?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Anuttymous:
I joined the telegram group, but couldn't get a response. Version is 4.0, I'll try 4.2 when I get the chance. Just wondered if there was a known lag issue.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
not running this rom atm but when i tried it i didn't experience any lag. i tried April version though, dunno the revision number

edit: i tried 4.1, suggest you to test last version before reporting bugs. 4.2 not available for blurline, afaik last is april 4.1

Blueline build posted

Use August vendor

trying it now, seems very good, thank you!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
is pin/pattern in twrp still broken?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
if you are going to do a factory image flash before with -w yes its still broke.

Apr factory image is the last one which you can flash with -w and won't break twrp pattern/pin and subsequent factory images flash without -w and you will be fine :good:
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Oh I see, so can I flash April vendor image with the 4.3 rom or will that cause mismatch error?

*edit* sorry what i mean is that i am on 4.3 rom and i flashed the Aug vendor img prior to flashing 4.3. Is it as simple as flashing Apr vendor img now?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
Nope you cannot, you need to match the vendor/security patch of the last build which is august vendor.

yeah you can just flash the factory image without -w or flash vendor images directly on top of any existing factory image you are on.

twrp pattern/pin only breaks when you clean flash(with -w) any factory image after Apr.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
So whats the best way to fix it now? Even if i have to clean flash...

Should I flash full aug factory image (without -w) in both slots, then flash the 4.3 rom?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
Yes, you can proceed with flashing of Aug factory image without -w and your twrp will identify pin/pattern correctly. Assuming that it is already working for you now right?

If its already broken, then you will need to go back to Apr factory image with -w and then setup pin/pattern so your twrp recognizes it correctly. Then you can proceed directly to Aug image without -w and flash the last build of this rom
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Thanks, I'll give that a try!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
can I ask you what twrp version are you using? 3.3.0-0?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
I keep switching between 3.3.0 and 3.3.1.0 and both works fine with pattern/pin.

Sometimes I switch back to 3.3.0 as 3.3.1.0 breaks most of the time after you flash latest canary build.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
When doing a -w flash-all, is there any significance/benefit to flashing in both slots individually?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
with or without W is independent from flashing one or two slots afaik. w is about userdata, stored in different partitions.

you should always flash both slots if you want to be sure to be 100% up to date in both slots and avoid problems/mismatches with custom roms as during the flashing procedures is likely to change the booting slot without notifying you
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
With -w it automatically flashes to both slot so flashing it manually doesn't give any benefit other than duplicating the flash process.

I would request you to pm me if you've further questions regarding flashing factory images/check the pixel 3 restore guides. Reason being this isn't about this rom, we are just going to derail this thread with our discussion of factory image flash queries.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
are you sure? i often fastboot flashed with -w and still in cmd i saw being flashed only one slot. in fact i manually fastboot change slot and then reflash..strange btw yes it is ot :o
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Fair enough, apologies for the relative OT :o
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SacredDeviL666:
yes, its programmed to flash on all slots after a full wipe which is the purpose of -w.

If you check cmd prompt messages after it flashes to your active slot then it send the same files to slot_a or slot_b which ever isn't active but keeps it ready there as a fall back requirement.

If its okay lets take further discussion off this topic to a thread which is for factory image flashing or i am happy to answer via pm :highfive:

Latest Build

Hi. I have flashed the latest build, following the instructions in the OP. When I reboot, all is well for about 5 minutes. Then the phone stops responding. I get the "system ui is not responding" message. I tried rebooting into recovery and flashing the old build I was on, the one from 04-07. When I attempt to do this, I get a boot loop. So now I'm stuck. Can someone please tell me possible what I did wrong, or if not that at least a way to get back to a working phone? I would prefer not wipe anything, I don't have a way to back it up as I am away from home. Thanks for the time.

Edit: if I reboot the phone, and then just let it sit for a few minutes, the phone will not respond to anything. I have to reboot using the power key, and then immediately unlock the phone to use it. Then after about 5 minutes it will respond the same way, not reactinig to touch and what not.

Ok, so I've narrowed it down to Magisk. All is well until I install Magisk, then the problems described above commence. Hopefully that helps with troubleshooting
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kkjb:
Wipe, factory flash Aug, magisk canary. Working fine. No active edge (yet) or modules. Working fine, power requirements maybe... Thanks for the update. Project Fi user, so for me it's carrier switching that will determine Greatness. Like Pixel and Bootleggers first ? builds.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kkjb:
Update to say yes Google Fi is switching as factory. Which is fantastic. For me... sprint, t-mobile, us cellular, switching fine with data services working as should. Wish I could figure out why Pixel (first) can't do this on any than factory. As I said, my favorite ROM-- Thank you for your efforts--
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
What do you need to do to get Fi working? It just tells me that it cant activate :crying:
