I've got time to help. So just go to this website: https://del.dog/

There, paste your log just like you did on Pastebin - del.dog doesn't have the paste size limit like Pastebin does, so you should be able to copy & paste your log, then hit the save button in the top right - it looks like a floppy disk if you have trouble find it. Once your log is saved, you can paste the URL here for bigbiff and it will serve the same exact purpose as attaching a log in the manner you're accustomed to doing so - just without the size limit. I sincerely hope that helps :good:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Daisymae:
I really appreciate it this! My problem is that when I copy the file and go to either of those sites and try to paste the paste option is grayed out.? I guess there's not but it seems like there ought to be a way to completely wipe the device and start over.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
Are you trying to paste the file into the sites or the contents of the file? You'll have to open the log, copy the contents and paste to the site.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 1dopewrx05:
How can that be possible? so you're saying that face unlock is permanently broken and 100% unfixable without a previous backup of the persist partition?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Daisymae:
Thanks. I'll try that.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Santarosa 503:
I fixed mine with Telstra update tho if that helps just saying.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cultofluna:
No..

I say it looks similar....
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 1dopewrx05:
How did you do it? I'm not familiar with Telstra? After a quick search it seems to be a carrier, so you're saying you fixed it with some sort of OTA update? I need face unlock back this is super aggravating to have to use my pin a million times a day. Thanks in advance

*Edit: Okay I get what you're talking about now, the Telstra only June update, but will that have any adverse reaction since I'm not in Australia and don't use Telstra? I'm on Verizon in the US.

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Santarosa 503:
Not the ota..

Factory image!. my bad.

I used the all in one tool you can find that here on xda

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3877486/amp/

won't have the pixel 4 xl on list but I put mine as the 3 xl once you have adb and all setup up

Make you sure the tool can read your phone click on reboot bootloader tab then Click on the flash factory images tab on the flashing tool

And it will take you here https://developers.google.com/android/images

Pick the one that says this

10.0.0 (QQ3A.200605.002.A1, Jun 2020, Telstra Only)

For the coral. it'll be the one at the bottom

Let the tool unzip it and flash it and done.

PS I had to use this tool because it wouldn't let me do it by just using adb and fastboot most people don't need to go through that hustle my PC is pretty old I guess lol but this tool works great I had all pixel 1,2,3 and 4 and used the it on all of them.

And I don't know about the carries how it would work I'm on T-Mobile in NYC and it works no difference for me.

You need to boot that image everytime to enter twrp?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nightshadex543:
That would be such a pain. Aren't there tools that allow you to convert boot img's into Zip's/tar files?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
This is still in testing. Usually after they release an official build they usually have a flashable zip.

You are asking them to do more work than needed at this point just to confirm that it works for not only stock but hopefully custom ROMs.

It is not required at this point but a nice feature later on.

It's been asked and answered remember they don't spend any time on developing for beta android.

If you really want to flash it you can use twrp or fastboot to flash images the same way you would flash a gsi rom but nobody is going to tell you to flash something thats not working 100% perfectly is always good to have your stock recovery in case something goes wrong with the one that's working as is suppose to at the moment.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surge1223:
Everyone mentioning anything related to flashing "recovery" is just wrong. We don't even have a recovery partition anymore. Also, it's meant to be fastboot booted into not flashed.

This is why the disclaimer in the op says for folks who know what they're doing to try to help. Flashing/booting twrp in the hopes that it's fully functional is not the current point Lol. Needless to say, if your post complains about something and doesn't include logs, it's practically pointless.

Hi,

i finally made it to test the backup function of the current test twrp, too. Data backup and Restore work great but i can't restore the super partition which i backup, too. It's says "Can't restore super - partition is write protected". I'm not sure whether this issue was mentioned earlier so i want to report it just in case.

One additional information: I tried to restore the super partition from internal storage.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Just an update to help others that might find themselves in a fix. My battery issue just evolved into what's apparently a common problem. It's now stuck on 50% no matter what I do. Thanks to having the TWRP available, I was able to rapidly wipe and install multiple times for testing differently scenarios. Btw, contacting Google was super easy and they immediately set up an RMA once I described the 50% thing.

Again thanks to the OP for making this available for our phone!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 1dopewrx05:
I had the same whole issue as you and I ended up RMA'ing my device as well 2 days ago. I haven't heard what the cause was from Google but they sent me a new pixel immediately and I got it overnight and shipped my old one back yesterday. A nice surprise was that it was actually a new device, not a refurb unit and came in retail box so I got a new set of OEM accessories as well. I got a super cool rep on the Google 1 premium support app and they even gave me a $15 play store credit for my inconveniences! This was my second RMA since launch and the first was NOT PLEASANT and got a refurbished unit even after arguing with 3 reps to replace my $900 one month old pixel with a new one but nope, sent me a refurb. At least I have a new one now again.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Madjax2020:

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Daisymae:
Well mine was 3 weeks old. Getting support was difficult but they finally rma'd it then sent me the news. Don't know if they will send a refurb or new. Probably refurb. But I'm glad to know it wasn't TWRP because I want to backup my data that way.

I would love to be able to back up my phone using TWRP but I don't know how to go about it while making sure I don't permanently lose my face unlock again. I definitely lost face unlock do to restoring a backup I made with TWRP so I'm too scared to do it again without proper direction and also it would be nice to know what I did wrong last time that caused the permanent loss of face unlock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Daisymae:
So I'm not the only one with this issue. Had you previously tried 11 before you did this? I did and was using the magisk module to fix the face unlock issue once I reverted to 10 on different ROMs. Once I did the restore with TWRP nothing would work including the module. Not even going back to 11. Still wouldn't work. I wonder if using TWRP restore after using 11 is the deadly combo.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KingMike67:
I had a similar issue, but I don't think it had anything to do with the restore as it broke before that. This is everything I went through. Maybe we can find some overlap

DU - Clean flash after May update - Facial Recognition Works

Took TWRP Backup of DU and rebooted - Facial Recognition Works

PixelDust CAF- Clean flash after clean June update - Facial Recognition Works

Stock Android 10 - Clean install June update through fastboot - Facial Recognition Works - Enrolled in Beta

Stock Android R Beta 1 - Clean install of Beta through fastboot - Facial Recognition didn't work. Factory reset from settings and it worked again. Left Beta

Stock Android 10 - I left the Beta and used the system update to get an OTA that was 600 mb and reverted back to Android 10 - Facial Recognition Works

Scorpion - Clean flash after factory reset of June - Facial Recognition didn't work - Used Magisk module and it worked again

Stock Android 10 - Clean install June update through fastboot - Facial Recognition didn't work

Stock Android 10 - Clean install Telstra June update - Facial Recognition didn't work

DU May - Restored backup after clean install of May update - Facial Recognition didn't work

Stock Android 10 - Clean install June update through fastboot - Facial Recognition didn't work - Enrolled in Beta

Stock Android R Beta 1 - Updated through system update - Facial Recognition didn't work. Factory reset from settings and it did not work.

RMA'd the device

Thanks

There is a magisk module to make the unlock work again if you switched from 11 to 10
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 1dopewrx05:
Yes I did recently revert from Android 11 before the incident. Our situations are literally identical down to even the minut details of what and when. I too was using the magisk module that fixes face unlock after going back to 10, then I did a backup and restored it the next day because I caught a boot loop trying a new xposed module and upon rebooting from the restore my face on the lock was permanently killed. There's a possibility it could be because of the recent downgrade to 10 but I know I personally can't take the risk of seeing if that's the case or not. If it ends up not having anything to do with going to 11, I'm going to have another broken phone and most likely no replacement. I'm just going to chill for now and use TWRP for everything else it does just minus backups until more progress is made with it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
To answer the question about installing the recovery ramdisk to the boot partition, that is still being worked on. Fastboot is only supported currently. I am working on getting repack to work currently.

I released the test version of TWRP to make sure that android 10 backup and restore is working OK. If you are having issues, please post all 3 logs: dmesg from the recovery kernel, /tmp/recovery.log from TWRP and logcat output for debugging.

Android 11 probably won't be supported for a while.

So I was finally successful in fully bringing back the functionality of face unlock, as well as the various other sensors and features that stopped working after restoring a backup from TWRP. All of these things happened because of the persist.Img getting corrupted somewhere in the restoration or operation of TWRP. This is the second time it happened to me and the first time I thought an RMA from Google and now this time I decided to try to work it out and with a bunch of work I was able to successfully restore my old working persist partition on top of the building somewhere that I'm currently on. The only prerequisite for this to work if anybody else runs into this issue which I know some have already, you need to make sure you have the original TWRP backup of your persist.img from when face unlock was working. So long as you have this, you can get full functionality of your phone back without having to try to break Google's arm for an RMA

If people need help with this let me know and I can try to post a tutorial or write up with instructions on how I figured it out and how you can do it too.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
Do you know why the persist partition was changed by TWRP? Can you post the restore log?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wrongway213:
Just making sure - you know July finally fixed the face unlock bug from R to Q, right? Making sure this isn't a "false positive" case because Face Unlock stated working again for lots of folks yesterday just from OTA.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 1dopewrx05:
Yes, this is not that bug. This is something completely different, caused by either TWRP or how TWRP backup/restore is implemented. It happens without ever going to any Android 11 beta

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I don't have a restore log. I wasn't successful restoring it via TWRP. I had to manually fix the persist partition. I tried everything I could think of to try to fix it through TWRP restore but couldn't figure it out. It can however be fixed solely using TWRP file explorer though, no need for a computer
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigbiff:
Can you tell us what steps you took in order to infer the issue from what you did?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 1dopewrx05:
I can do that. I think I will write up a detailed tutorial and put it in it's own thread, then come post the link here. This way it doesn't derail this thread and also will be the easiest for other users to find and follow. I'll try and have it done tomorrow or the day after, I'm out of town at the beach right now for my son's birthday. I'll be back home Thursday.

Oh boy I been out of the game to long I'm use to unlock bootloader then flash twrp and bam. So I'm not sure what you mean by they are side loaded.

This last TWRP booted fine several times before but now I get the error "error in verifying the received boot image: invalid parameter. Command failed" This may have been discussed before. Apologies if it has. Stumped.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] smartymcfly:
To flash custom ROM. You have to flash the associated boot.img for the ROM, then boot into the recovery and use adb sideload to flash a ROM. If you want to use TWRP, you only fastboot boot it not flash it. I am not sure if custom ROMs can flashed with TWRP, but once you have it setup and running the custom ROM you might be able to use TWRP to update it. But most of the developers say to clean flash the ROM Everytime there is an update. In most cases it is once a month and Google backup does such a good job at backing everything up apps and settings that you don't need to use a backup solution, it is easier to let Google restore it when go through the initial setup.
