Following the instructions, I first tried to start twrp.

I thought it worked, but it froze at the first screen of twrp.

What should I do in such a case?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sasory:
And which boot are you installing? If I install a patched magisk boot, then the standard recovery is loaded.

I can't understand how to install it correctly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
I've had the same problem. I go to Bootloader, flash boot twrp.img, reboot to recovery.. TWRP is froze on Logo screen with a functioning adb connection active. I pushed the TWRP.img to a folder and verify it's copied using adb shell. Every time I reboot the phone the recovery is replaced with ScorpionRom Recovery. Everything always gets reset and TWRP is gone entirely along with the copy I pushed.. unless I flash in fastboot from Bootloader, which of course leads me to a frozen TWRP logo with an already active adb connection. I can say with certainty that it's not working for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
If you really want this to work, my next guess would be revert to stock android 11, flash TWRP, patch boot assuming you're not still stuck, then hope whatever rom you have will flash from TWRP. I just don't care enough to lose my data atm. It would be really nice to know if it works, maybe then I'll bite because I want the latest Sultan kernel too.

I am not sure why you guys test but never provide logs to debug your issues.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tirimen1872:
I apologize for not submitting the log.

However, I can't start twrp, so I can't get the Recovery.log either.

What should I do?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
In this case use adb to pull dmesg, logcat and recovery.log
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tirimen1872:
I was able to get logcat, but I don't know how to get recovery.log and dmesg.

Please let me know the adb command.

Thank you very much for your time.

That did it. Wouldn't take the password so I hit cancel and got into TWRP. Wont let me see sd card though. Password is still default_password? If so I guess it cant decrypt.

I don't know what the nandroid script is, but whomever develops it needs to work with our SAR updates.

We have more things to work on in android-10 tree. I am planning on working on fastbootd next.

Please let me know if there are backup and restore issues. FBE makes things complicated and I will need all the logs (recovery.log/logcat/dmest) for debugging.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FlatOutRU:
Just tested latest test image grabbed from 5th page on stock rom

Decryption work fine, flashed kernel - no problem

Made a data backup - great, but "super" (i guess its like a system partition) - failed. Tried second time to do separate super backup - same error. I`ve attached recovery.log, hope thats enough.

Just to mention i was trying to backup to an external drive

Didn't try to make a restore however
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FlatOutRU:
Ok, backing up "super" to internal storage worked fine

Whoops, i attached a recovery.log from a twrp folder , guess its a wrong one

That's the Android 10 coral.img. The test version: " twrp-3.5.0-0-test1-coral.img " in the OP is the last version I downloaded and works for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flash713:
Does the test version of TWRP work for installing roms? I would really love to know this! From what I've read I'm guessing since it's in early stages still and there has only been one user report a successful rom install that installing roms isn't working yet...?

Big thanks to BigBiff and the other TWRP crew! You guys rock!!

Edit added: 06/27/2021

My bad. The answer to my question is in the op and seems like for now TWRP isn't exactly up and running at 100%. There is a list of what works in the op here. I've never had a device where TWRP didn't work for installing roms. I realize this is because it's in early stages and I'm sure grateful for BigBiff and the rest of the TWRP team! Looking very forward to having a fully functional working TWRP at some point on my coral. Cheers!! 🙏✌️
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
That would be awesome. Honestly if there's a way to get this installed, I'd consider going back to stock if it made a difference. I'm using ScorpionRom. Their custom recovery doesn't let you install kernels. That's the thing I miss. I think development in general on the Pixel 4XL is largely depending on this problem getting figured out.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
So you were having problems being stuck because you tried to flash the wrong img..but now it's working? I guess you have to be running stock android to get results, correct?? I tried both images and neither would work. It's always stuck on the splash screen, then Scorpion recovery replaces it automatically after a reboot.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
Just FYI, you don't need TWRP or another custom recovery to install kernels. If rooted you can use EXKM or FKM, and if not rooted you can see if there is an available .img version (rather than .zip) of the kernel and if so flash it through fastboot.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ShanxRoux:
I miss that i could do backup and restore with twrp. Its a wizardlike feature.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Awesome bigbiff!! I was able to get TWRP test 1 (ver 3.5.1_10-0) on 11 (bliss latest) working finally!!! This is excellent, so far everything is working as expected to work. I'm going to test everything thoroughly but so far, very good!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
I was able to flash TWRP, then boot, enter pin to decrypt data, then adb push image to Downloads and install ramdisk from advanced options. I think it was failing before because I didn't use "fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img". I wasn't choosing a slot and I was just using the boot command by itself "fastboot boot twrp.img --slot all".
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
I had ScorpionRom installed at the of flashing. Everything booted fine after the install and I flashed Cleanslate kernel.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mattwheat:
You don't have to flash with adb. Just put the twrp.img on your phones sd card where ever you want it. Then boot via twrp.img and then when you're in twrp go to "install" then click "install image" then find your twrp.img and click on it. Then click "install to ramdisk" and then reboot. You're done.

Guys there is Any twrp working on Android S beta 2?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I won't speak for the dev(s) but you do realize very recently are able to boot and somewhat use TWRP under 11. this means 12 beta may not be ready anytime soon. I honestly do not know, I am not the dev of TWRP so I cannot speak for them but I am pointing out the 11 fact to set expectations accordingly. For me personally, I was only able to get it working under 11 in the last few weeks, so I'd be patient and keep checking back.

If you notice, I was only able to get 11 booted June 29th (few posts above yours). I know the working version was released and working before that date (when I tested/posted on June 29th), but it's been very recent that we are seeing stable 11 TWRP.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blueyes:
Sorry haven't been on here in a while. After updating to the June patch (haven't done it for July yet) I downloaded the full zip and extracted the boot image. Used magisk manager to patch it and then used fast boot to boot into TWRP. From TWRP I selected install image which allowed me to select an image to patch as magisk manager does and selected the just patched magisk boot. After it was patched by TWRP I moved it to my computer and rebooted into fastboot and flashed it. Worked beautifully. Can boot directly into TWRP from the OS either using a root terminal command or a root rebooter app (simple reboot). I can post the logs from the last time I backed up as a sort of proof.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blueyes:

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
I ran into a new problem today.. Whenever I boot into recovery, TWRP asks for my pin without the touch screen working. I tried plugging in an Xbox controller, but the select language kept getting opened and it was impossible to scroll deliberately due to minor inputs received without pressing buttons/sticks. I sometimes wonder if technology has turned it's back on me.. anyone seen this happen before?

Flash custom kernel with inbuilt touch driver
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flash713:
What kernel are you using?

Can you just push cancel or the back key in twrp when it asks for password and exit out of it or no? That would definitely be the first thing I would try and use a kernel that has the proper things for twrp to work so that the touchscreen does NOT freeze up on you. If I had to have twrp installed now on my 4XL based on what I've read I would be on stock Android 11 with the proper kernel before I attempted installation. Js

Edit: Error was on my part. I was flashing the wrong zip file.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I havent used this script but it is for 10 (and later) but its named 10 (android-10-universal-mount-system) and may not be updated and working with 11 yet. This script is 3rd party to TWRP so you would probably get better support in that forum, not TWRP's, plus 11 TWRP is beta so IDK what to say but its 3rd party so you probably wont get the support you are looking for here (at least with 11 in beta). Future TWRP builds may work but for right now, I doubt its a quick fix or solution, so I would ask in that forum as well.

No worries I'm quite sure we've all at some point been so tired and worn out that we've forgot to reboot and ruined the entire night trying to figure out what was really going on. 😂 Like the ole looking for my keys and they're in my back pocket deal. Maybe I'm the only one like this.....?

Sidenote: This reboot thing was before I started using Linux of course. I was also REEEEALLY going through it at the time and just wasn't thinking and needed sleep. Haha! 🤔 Rule #1 always reboot rule #2 Always get sleep.

First off, thanks so much for getting us TWRP on our phones!

Secondly, this may be a "use your eyeballs" error on my part, but can this version of TWRP be used to install full OTA's as could be done on the Pixel 2?

I did reference this post:

Unfortunately, my re-reading of the OP did not enlighten me as it did flash713.

I have my Pixel 4xl running stock Android 11 and have installed the test TWRP from the OP ( via fastboot boot then install to ramdisk) as well as Magisk root. I can easily boot to system and to TWRP with everything working as before.

As I had done in the past, I'd like to boot to TWRP, flash a full OTA, then re-install TWRP and Magisk before rebooting to the system, thus updating without needing to connect to a pc. Is this within the current capabilities of A11 TWRP?

I can get to Fastboot but I cant do anything ADB says I have no devices connected even though I can hear the USB chime when I plug in my phone.

So today I had the thought to just attempt a rom flash using latest A11 test twrp from the op. I flashed factory image for October via fastboot then I flashed lineage micro g October 3 build and it was a success!! I didn't do the usual type rom flash i've done on my past 5-6 A/B devices I flashed recovery.img from micro g lineage to boot partition in twrp then I formatted data and flashed micro g lineage build , reboot system and booted up fine on lineage micro g. I had no idea this would work but I didn't try before today either .. You are a blessing bigbiff!! 💯 Appreciate all the work you've done here and everywhere else. ✌

Edit added: Also installed Bliss from LOS in twrp. Boot TWRP, flash boot.img, format data, swipe to confirm, flash rom reboot system. Booted up on Bliss. I'll install the TWRP-test1.img to recovery radisk and push it how op says to do next time. Just throwing this information out there in case anyone else maybe needed to hear it is all. Thanks again bigbiff!!

I haven't messed around with Android 12 yet but when the time comes I'm most definitely willing to flash whatever you have op and get logs if needed.

Hey, in case you're still wondering, I tried to temporarily boot into the newest TWRP (running latest A12 stock rooted) and it froze on TWRP splash. It does appear to be intended for A11 but since I had the A10 version working on A11 I thought I'd try. If anybody can get it to work it's these guys.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GöğüstekiDövme:
Thank you man. I wonder if the phone boots into system after you flash the old TWRP or did you have to format the phone and flash the ROM build again?

If I format my phone my IMEI will go away. I'd like to downgrade to Android 11 but it's risky for me to do so. If I am be able to backup my IMEI within old TWRP, I'll downgrade to Android 11.

I have the necessary IMEI backup program but it works only with TWRP.
