Getting a vendor image notification on boot, and phone calls will not connect or receive and connect. Rings and that's it.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
sounds to me like you didn't fastboot flash correctly all latest Google bits... what are the exact file names of the images you downloaded? and what are the exact commands you did run in fastboot?

and every time you flashed an image via fastboot, did you check if you got "success" message in terminal?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] calebcabob:
I recommend in the future you get that stuff straight from Google - just always safest ...less risk of BS
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] calebcabob:
I believe you may still have to flash the vendor image in recovery AFTER flashing the rom for the first time (if you flashed the vendor image via fastboot first) - The vendor mismatch message should go away after that
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Darth#Mike:
Thanks guys. Everything was successful during adb, and I used only the latest bootloader, radio, and got the latest vendor image direct from Google.

So just flash the latest vendor image again through adb recovery? Or should I just do the entire process over again, which I don't mind. More concerned with why phone calls won't connect.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
during fastboot you mean?

try fastboot flashing just vendor in both slots and see what happens. but calls not connecting should be maybe related to radio rather than vendor? not sure, that's why I supposed you may have multiple problems/you made some steps wrong.

what's the exact name of the vendor image file you are using?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Darth#Mike:
Ok, back at my computer. I used all the latest vendor images for sure. But maybe I didn't flash to both slots, so I'll redo that through adb. Will this affect the room in any way, are there any other steps because of that? Or just flash the vendor image to both slots and reboot....
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
just flash vendor in both slots and reboot and see.

i suggest you to do the same with radio image though, just to be sure

but you didn't follow my steps exactly or you wouldn't need to still do that now ;)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Darth#Mike:
Lol, there's a history of jokes about it being a user error. I flashed everything over again making sure it went through both slots. No vendor error and calls work. Thanks for the patience.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
Thank you!

I just followed your instruction and it worked!

BTW, there is one dangerous thing while flashing magisk.zip from twrp,

it shows magisk is installed on active slot only (my case is slot b),

I just wanted to make sure for slot a, I switched it to slot a and flash, did not go through. and then reboot.... boom! hard brick?

I found this thread,

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/hard-bricked-pixel-xl-3-t3874820

OMG.. that was my case.

Solution is,

hold power button and vol- button could bring it bootloader, but nothing worked.

all flashing or booting command showed error.

factory-image flash-all.bat did not work either.

for my case,

fastboot --set-active=b saved my phone!

it could boot up again.

I wasted about 4 hours by just clicking change slot!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
dunno why you did that, it is not mentioned anywhere to flash it on both slots, you just need magisk on the active slot.. and in case you lose root you can just reflash it...
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
yes you are right.

The instruction was flash bootloader on both slot, vendor on both slot, radio on both slot, and flash twrp.zip via twrp shows it is flashed on both slot.

I assumed magisk also should be flashed on both slot, but I was wrong.

anyways, I learned a lot from this procedure and understood about the slot things.

My last Google device was Nexus 5, there are a lot of change since.

Has AquariOS 9 Gcam preinstalled or just the android cam???
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
this rom (like all others i tried) comes with gapps (and gcam) included. no other cams installed. try it you won't regret ;)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sakerhetz:
Thank you for the useful reply?

Loved AquariOS in my old Nexus 5x. Glad to see you back.

Seems I missed the installation instructions, can you help?

(I am a bit reluctant with the two slots and the unknown to me "tool all in one".)

can anyone try camera with playground?

I tried it and switch to front camera, phone is frozen.

I am not sure it happens on stock firmware since I just installed this rom as soon as I got my phone.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] brettule:
For what it's worth, I grabbed blueline-pq2a.190405.003 off Google, unzipped and ran the flash-all.bat so I updated everything, booted to system, then booted to TWRP, flashed AquariOS and TWRP and rebooted to system. I got the same vendor mismatch error which I thought was odd, shouldn't the flash-all have updated the vendor? I then flashed the vendor.img from the zip again and all was good.

Love the bootscreen that's fun. Thanks for the first Pixel 3 ROM, been waiting for something good for ages.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
because you are missing the fact that phone has two slots, and you are not following the correct procedure. if you go back some posts you will find a post of mine with all correct installation steps...
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] brettule:
When I start directions from Google maps it goes into thumbnail window mode (picture in picture) and drops me to my home screen. If I tap the window to maximise again, it shows full screen for a second then goes back to thumbnail window. OS is working fine otherwise. If I disable picture in picture for the system it works fine. Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
I used it today, it was fine for me.

switching max screen and pip was also fine.

BTW, I have some other odd things,

camera with playground does not work well(front camera).

SMS was not received. reboot fixed it.

and other very minor glitches like status bar icon sometimes get wierd... also reboot fixes it.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] brettule:
Hmmm, ok. I'll wipe, redownload and reinstall, see if it fixes it.

Latest vendor PQ3A-190505-002.img which I flashed, AquariOS tells me I've not got the right vendor and I need to flash PQ2A.190405.003. Do I need to go back to the previous?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] drocny87:
Latest vendor for this rom is 003.img

I got the vendor image from Googles site. You have to make sure you click the img from April.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wangdaning:
Latest vendor is from May, the 002, but the rom is not updated to May source yet. You need the April vendor, so yes, 003.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] brettule:
Cheers, that sorted it.

Also, wipe and reflash fixed my Google Maps PIP bug.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Serial Kazama:
I am on latest OTA by google . May 2019 . I cant get the rom to boot. I see the bootanimaion but nothing happends.

I followed the step from post #25 . I flashed the Vendor from April, is this correct?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
did you factory reset? only vendor image from April? would be better also radio and bootloader from April, not sure in may only vendor changed..
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Serial Kazama:
Yes factory reset was made. Okay so i musst made a downgrad?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
yes because latest build was based on April bits.. or you can also wait next aquarios build that will be based on may images ;)

Can I flash this straight from Q3 beta , or do I have to revert back to Pie , thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
of course you'll need May's Google bits also

i reverted to pie to avoid any problems. this is what i did from Q3 beta and worked fine:

adb reboot bootloader

flash-all command to flash whole Google May factory image (with wipe flag)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot set_active other

flash-all command again May factory image (no wipe flag required)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img (I still use older twrp 3.2.3 that always worked ok for me)

install twrp zip

reboot recovery

factory reset

Flash ROM and TWRP.zip

Reboot

Don't have time to flash right now as I'm very busy but I will say I'm on the May 12th build you just put out a couple days ago and everything seems to be working great. thank you so much for your work.

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
Google images (bootloader, radio and vendor)

you must flash the ones matching the build you are installing, in both the slots

i think in May only changed vendor image

...you can still flash whole Google May factory image though, in both slots, if in doubt and just to be sure (with flash-all command)

pay attention that flashing it without removing the wipe flag, you'll erase all the phone content... Google to understand what i mean, if you don't know already
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rhplusa10:
you should flash bootloader, radio, and vendor img from may 2018 build.

The instruction is on page3, and can download stock factory image from Google.

I know this ROM has the ability to display custom status bar clock but can it display "seconds" (i.e. 01:23:45) as well?

I'm running the May build on my Pixel 3 and I believe my data is encrypted. So when I have a device lock active, and I try to boot into TWRP (3.2.3-0 or 3.3.0-0) and it doesn't recognize my password. However, if I remove the password, I can boot into TWRP just fine. Is this a known issue, or is there a fix available?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
known, and no fixes for now. problem arises with may Google images. if you flash april images, and just flash may vendor, twrp decryption still works fine
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Thanks man. So just to clarify, I would flash the April Google factory image, then the latest AquariOS ROM, then the May vendor image? Or just the April AquariOS ROM and May vendor? Sorry I haven't been in the Pixel game since early Pixel 2 :)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
from what rom are you coming? or are you coming from stock?

by the way easiest way is:

- flash april full stock image in both slots (remove wipe flag if you want to keep your data)

- reboot

- copy may vendor img on your phone

- boot in twrp

- install twrp (I'm still using 3.2.3)

- reboot in recovery

- install aquarios may build and twrp zip

- install may vendor from within twrp (install image to vendor partition)

- reboot

if you get vendor image mismatch error, reboot to recovery and flash again vendor image from twrp and reboot
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
I'm on AquariOS right now, but I flashed full May image in both slots first, then May AquariOS. I don't have anything useful on the phone yet so I'll do the full wipe procedure again.

Can I just extract the vendor.img from the May factory image?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
link for vendor img file from may is in OP ;)
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Sorry one more question - what do you mean by 'remove wipe flag'?

Funny enough I have read this about the May update that TWRP is not working with decryption

But it has been working just fine for me. Both in stock and on AquariOS ?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
you sure you flashed bootloader radio and all other may images from google in both slots? you have a lockscreen protection?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Ok so I did all this, exactly (clean install) - but if I have a password lock, I still cant get into TWRP (3.2.3-0).

Just to confirm, I downloaded the April factory image from Google and did this:

- ran flash-all.bat in slot a & b booting phone each time

- booted twrp (3.2.3-0)

- flashed twp zip (3.2.3-0)

- rebooted to recovery

- flashed May AquariOS

- flashed twrp zip again

- flashed May vendor img

- rebooted; got vendor mismatch

- rebooted to twrp and flashed may vendor img again

- rebooted to system; no vendor mismatch

*edit* is there a way to run AquariOS decrypted?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
strange twrp 3.2.3 works perfectly fine here even with screen lock security, if using april google bits as base.

how can you be sure you flashed april factory image in both slots? how you did that?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
fastboot set_active a

flash-all.bat

allow phone to boot; reboot to fastboot

fastboot set_active b

flash-all.bat

allow phone to boot; reboot to fastboot

boot twrp

weird thing is now I cant MTP in twrp...:( *edit* this is fixed in 3.3.0-0
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
cool so ok that part was done correctly it seems.

did you use the wipe flag and deleted all your userdata at least once?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Yep I did include -w

just did the whole thing again - still says password is wrong at twrp :crying:
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FcukBloat:
I'm out of ideas.. seems you made all my exact steps so dunno why decryption here and good others works fine but not for you..
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] frewys:
Yes

I did both slots like double lol

All well on May for me

It's a clean install I don't know if that has something to do with it though.. On 3.3.0.0
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Weird it was the clean flash with May or even April base / May vendor... after many clean flashes I got t sorted.

I did a completely clean flash on all April, so April stock flash-all in A & B, then installed April AquariOS, and flashed April vendor just for kicks. Twrp (3.3.0-0) would accept my password and decrypt data, and I could access mtp in twrp. Then I dirty flashed May AquariOS and got the vendor mismatch error; I booted into twrp and flashed May vendor img and all is well!
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] zxspectrun:
Duude!

I'm thinking on doing the same, but I fell in love with some features like squeezing for turning the phone off or hiding back button on gestures or the additional quick settings options just mentioning some of them.

I actually felt better on stock tho!

?Omg help ?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] team_gold:
Thanks for putting this together! I just flashed and the 5/12 build and nearly everything seems to be working.

The one thing that isn't is MMS. Data and SMS seem to be working just fine. My carrier is sprint for what its worth. Anytime I try to send an MMS it just hangs on Sending until it eventually fails. Was working fine stock so I'm sure I am just missing a package or some APN setting but I am not sure what.

The logcat shows a bunch of errors with the MmsService but I don't really know what they mean. https://pastebin.com/Xnv6CqwV

If Google would get with the program and acquire and maintain Viper4Android and whoever created SmartBar and baked them into stock android I would never need to root.

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Wow this is bizarre guys. I'm on Rogers Wireless, and I seem to lose mobile data after I flash AquariOS.

Because of the TWRP device password not recognized bug, I'm using April factory image as a base. When I run through setup wizard on stock (before flashing AquariOS) I have mobile data... After flashing the April AquariOS rom my mobile data is gone? However, my Verizon SIM has mobile data. Oh and my Rogers SIM has mobile data in my S9.

Try toggling global/LTE in preferred network. I ran into an issue on the April update a few days ago where I just didnt have signal on LTE. toggled that a few times and it worked.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kgr:
Thanks man. I have tried that - in fact I tried most of the options with LTE in it. The weird thing is that in the stock ROM there are only 3 options: LTE, 3G, 2G. On Aqua, there's about 20 options ranging from CDMA to GSM and none actually allow me to get data. I just cannot figure it out, but I'm certain its something ridiculously simple lol. Like can I flash the stock radio img or something...?

Removing AquariOS

So I'm not sure what to do, but I'll post this here since it seems relevant?

I decided to flash the stock factory image from blueline for my pixel 3 after using AquariOS for a while.

But the problem I'm having is that for one, TWRP doesnt recognize my decryption password even though I can very clearly log into the OS with the exact same password.

okay.... so I removed the password, now I'm in TWRP.

So I flash Magisk and this is where it gets weird.

Magisk wont take. no matter what version I use.

I noticed that there is a metadata partition when viewing partitions in TWRP but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This is the latest June Factory image.

I did wipe the dalvik cache.

Why am I posting here? because I didnt have these issues until after I flashed and used AquariOS. if you think these are normal, I'll try the pixel 3 forum, but I have no idea what to do and I hope someone can help me regardless. I'll use the phone without root for now since at least that works.

at this point I'm extremely confused. I have no idea what the flash for AquariOS did to my phone but root doesnt work anymore. it keeps going back to recovery. I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson on this one.

editing again: AquariOS isnt to blame here. there just simply isnt an updated guide on how to get the latest firmware to work. I'll try an OTA eventually but I'm probably going to leave it on the March install.

if anyone is seeing this, dont update past march unless google releases a "useful" update.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] beanaman:

I may have a request for adding a feature if possible.

for face unlock, can you add automatic unlock option after face detected?

I saw that feature on the other rom and it is kinda useful.
