The only thing special is microG using their lineage-18.1-20211103 build that includes the microG patches from here: https://download.lineage.microg.org/coral/. Could that do it? I thought their patches were minimal, mostly for certificate handling and of course google services replacement, but I didn't think that would affect the RIL. This is the process I followed: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-inst...-4-xl-coral-w-microg-and-magisk-root.4357167/

Does it need to be re-provisioned? It was previously registered as a Pixel 3a XL and I've not yet called the carrier (AT&T) to have them update the IMEI. Could that fix it?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Honestly I'm not sure, I don't use microg (nor ever have). I stick with opengapps when GAPPs are needed and I NEVER have any issues with OG, ever. I'm not sure how to help since I can't reproduce it myself (and I am on ProtonAOSP android 12 now) so I'm not on LOS anymore either.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KJ7LNW:
It turns out that I just needed to wait! I got on the phone with AT&T to troubleshoot, and it was working fine. Calling the phone stayed on LTE instead of switching to UMTS.

I'm guessing something on the backend carrier-side had to propagate after moving the SIM!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
cool! Glad to hear you got it sorted out and working! I couldn't reproduce it nor did I have the issue so I was kinda useless to help but I am glad you got it working anyways!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
Would banking app work on this ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Sure does, once you hide magisk and root, I have NO issues with TD Bank, Netflix, ETC but you have to hide root and pass safetynet (which it does if setup right).
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
Just installed it because after updating to android 12 i had some battery draining issues. Will come back with feedback

EDIT: It works without hidding anything. lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
awesome, I know for Netflix and TDBank I also had to hide ROOT from those apps specifically (pic) or ROOT gets detected, but I am glad yours worked out of the box! I use LOS (this ROM) as my daily driver because its so damn solid and no bugs, plus its weekly updated! I love LOS, and am VERY glad its so stable otherwise I would be using a LOS derivative but those aren't always stable.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
Actually, I've installed then ROM from LOS Website sideloaded with the recovery.

It's wonderful, stable and pretty much everything works out of the box.

No battery issues anymore . ATM phone its at 60℅ in 13 hours of usage while on the stock android 12 in 12 hours battery was empty. Upgrading to 12 from 11 was a bad idea.

Now the only thing i miss is Google Camera.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Agreed, LOS for the pixel 4 XL is rock solid, fast, stable, battery is AWESOME, and it has everything I need for my dailydriver.

Install GCam from playstore and any missing Google apps/services you need/want. Google cam works flawlessly with LOS/Pixel 4XL from the PlayStore!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
ROOTED With Magisk and installed TWPR but it doesn't pass safetynet
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Did you enable magiskhide, riru, props config, and set your signature and props?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
What options have you enabled under device simulation? I have google play services crashing after i've passed safetynet by using Pixel4XL Android 12 settings

btw, i don't even know why I'm struggling to get safetynet passed since I don't need it. It's just for "testing purposes".

EDIT: Done, only fingerprint was updated and everything seems to work now
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
You shouldn't have any GPlay issues unless you didn't install GAPPs right or something got hosed after GAPPs install or something along those lines but without logs, or install process, I am left to guess and stab in the dark.

You installed LOS, then rebooted recovery directly after ADB SIDELOAD and completed the OS install, then installed (ADB SIDELOAD) the GAPPs you chose, yes? Now you have SafetyNet fixed and working, yes, you installed RIRU, Universal SafetyNet, MAGISKProps, and enabled MAGISKHide, yes and it passed SN now, yes?

I have ZERO issues with GAPPs for the Google framework with SN passing, so its something done (or not done) with your side, but its all guesses because you aren't telling me anything to go by. Give me your entire install process, with GAPPs and how you installed both, then the SafetyNet fixes (installed, chosen, used) please so I can ensure everything was correctly done (otherwise I cant really help as I don't know what is broken and where or not broken but missing).
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
The problem was I've enabled everything under device simulation. Now everything works perfectly. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
right on! glad to hear its solved! I purposely didn't tell you the props to use to force this exact thing (figuring it out). I usually give enough to teach the user where to look but let them solve it on there own and only give the answer if absolutely needed. That way its learned to cook (vs feeding for the day), that comes from my day job as a senior sys engineer/architect mentoring the senior engineers below me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tuan2mbox:
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I just flashed LOS back from ANDROID 12 bt following the instruction in #1. It's very awesome! May I ask you guys: Should I relock the bootloader after everything is done?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
No.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tuan2mbox:
Can I ask why? Because every time I turn on my phone, it has a notification about that
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
If you lock the bootloader without returning the phone to 100 percent Stock, you will brick your phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tuan2mbox:
Oh, I see, thank you so much. You've saved my phone!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Agreed with the other comments! DO NOT RE-LOCK your bootloader and accept the warning (who cares its a quick blip that you barely see on boot)!

Again DO NOT RE-LOCK your BL with a custom ROM EVER! You will royally F up your device and may not be recoverable from it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlexKarimov:
Quick question: My dad's 3 went belly up on him a while ago so I gave him my 4 with LOS18 installed and he loves it. The problem is, he rarely checks the updater until he gets a lot of notifications. At this point, he has 4-5 updates waiting. Does he need to do each one or can he just do the latest? Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Latest will update the OS with what's needed, no need to do every one separately. I skip them often but catch up when there's a specific need.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
I've got few problems with security updates. They will download but never install. Does anyone encounter the same problem as me?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Are you using custom kernel? If so, that's the issue, revert to the stock boot.img (stock kernel), reboot, retry, and it will work. I found over time the OTA updater wont work if/when the stock kernel isn't in place and used. The ONLY time I cant get the internal OTA updater to work, is when I forget to flash the stock kernel back. I use Kirisakura 8 floral (most of the time) but once I revert to stock LOS kernel, bingo, no further issues.

Give it a shot and let us know when resolved please!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MySelf_v1:
Yep, using Sultan. It worked when I received the last update yesterday.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Use stock and you will be 100% safe, however you may/will have weird issues if using 3rd party kernel with the OTA updater (unless you adb sideload) that usually works. Still, you should revert to stock and then you are 110% safe.

I cant guarantee it will work with 3rd party, and you wont have issues if using 3rd party kernel so I only recommend OTA using stock kernel. Sure it might work here and there, or you might have data-loss and lose everything, so why risk it? Use the STOCK kernel and you wont have ANY issues, so its up to you, but again, try the stock.

Does Any One know why google pay does not work ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Google pay works perfectly fine for me but I did have to hide root for it. I use it all the time
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rfactor117:
Sorry, I should have been more clear, I have root hidden via magisk, passing safteyNet with my cards in Gpay.

But above each card the NFC symbol is crossed out and says Not Set Up.

I have called and verified my Banks to that there is no issue at there end.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Natesroom:
Just clarification CORAL is for PIXEL 4 XL and is FLAME for PIXEL 4?

EDIT: NEVERMIIND i just changed the wiki to flame and it clarified
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Oh that is weird, I use it all the time, especially with my NJ devils tickets. I store them all in my Google Pay wallet and use gpay for purchases. The ONLY thing that's maybe causing it (that I can think of) would be Google changed the Google pay app to a newer one. I did have issues briefly during that transition but it's fine afterwards. IDK that's weird what you're facing but I'll also add in that I use opengapps nano as my GAPPs, those are the only two things I can think of.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rfactor117:
Yes, strange thing is this morning I checked and now it works, I have done nothing since my original post. 🙃🙃🙃
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Glad to hear its working, my guess is maybe it was caused by a Google service issue, IDK. It always worked for me so I cant reproduce to investigate, so honestly I am not sure what was up but I am glad its working though (it should work)!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kushman:
I upgraded to a12 how would I go about installing this being it's a11 I don't have custom recovery on I'm currently on protonaosp 12 it's not custom enough imo thanks for any help
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
This is confusing and doesn't make sense (at least to me), what are you asking? I think you are asking how to prepare the device (coral - Pixel 4 XL) back to being ready for LOS (A11) install (while its currently on ProtonAOSP A12). If so, then you should flash the matching factory image (Google factory firmware) that corresponds to the LOS version (the ROM metadata shows this information - I.E. the attached picture). The matching factory firmware is: 11.0.0 (RQ3A.211001.001, Oct 2021), then after its prepared (Google Factory Firmware image completes), I go through a quick setup of stock OS. I skip EVERYTHING in the stock OS setup, and skip through to the end of setup, setting nothing, then reboot to BL, format userdata (make sure you back up EVERYTHING prior to the factory firmware), then your device is ready for LOS (A11), and I simply follow the LOS install guide (OP):

*** BACKUP EVERYTHING OFF SD (internal storage) + TXT/MMS

BEFORE

proceeding with FACTORY FIRMWARE ***

You will LOSE everything with the factory firmware so BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!

PREP DEVICE --> Google Factory Firmware: A11 (RQ3A.211001.001, Oct 2021)

Download the latest supported Lineage OS build and recovery (boot) image

Reboot to bootloader

Flash the provided boot.img to both slots (fastboot flash --slot all boot boot.img)

Reboot into recovery and factory reset for initial install

Sideload the latest build of Lineage OS (adb sideload lineage.zip)

(Optional) Reboot to recovery again and flash gapps of choice (I use OpenGapps, not MTG)

Reboot to system

(Optional) Flash custom kernel / Magisk

If this isn't what you mean, then please clarify what you are trying to do so we can help.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kushman:
Thanks very much
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
NP, my pleasure, let me know if you get stuck or need more help!!

Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure to backup everything first, you will lose all data with the factory image reset (unless you remove the -W from the batch). I don't recommend doing that, leave the -W in the factory firmware batch process so it factory erases userdata (OR run ADB erase userdata from bootloader) - AGAIN AFTER BACKUP of everything. This step (erase userdata) is CRITICAL and is needed to ensure the /data and /system is cleaned of factory remanences and ready for LOS install (after factory firmware reset). This is where the loss of data happens (erase or factory reset), so please backup first. I HATE hearing users lose data so just be careful and backup your internal SD TXT+MMS+SD data/ETC., and you are GOOD TO GO! Once you clean the device (factory reset) + erase userdata, LOS is ready for install!!

Enjoy LOS (this ROM/this version), its EXTREMELY stable, and its EXTREMELY reliable! I keep coming back to LOS (this ROM) over and over after testing other ROMs/A12. I test ALL ROMs/A12/ProtonAOSP/ETC., to help other users (so I can reproduce X/Y/Z), but I ALWAYS end up right back here, with LOS and my daily driver. Its ROCK SOLID and AWESOME + it is weekly OTA updated (every week, Sunday), with ALL latest bug and security fixes so its also the MOST up to date ROM available right now (A11ROM).
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kushman:
This is all I needed to download correct ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yes and no at the same time (you did not DL GAPPs but IDK if that's on purpose or not), some users prefer not to use GAPPs but not me. Without GAPPs you will not have the Google Framework, but you have the rest of the base for the OS (ROM/firmware) and ROOT downloaded. You wont pass SafetyNet out of the box that way (with just what you DL so far), you also need Props, Universal SafetyNet as MAGISK modules (you do NOT need LSPosed as seen in my MAGISK module picture) but you DO need RIRU (for SafetyNetFix). Install RIRU BEFORE SafetyNetFix and Props, then MAKE SURE you download the RIRU SafetyNetFix (not the zygote version), then reboot. Load terminal, SU, then type props, this will load the props interface, and in Props, set the first 2 options (picture 3):

Pixel 4 XL (for option 1 - fingerprint)

Pixel 4 XL A12 (options 2 - basic key) --> make sure you use Android 12 versions for basic key attestation

Reboot after setting the first two options in Props, and you will pass SafetyNet (then wipe Google Play storage in settings AFTER you pass SafetyNet). Netflix/Disney+ will show up once SafetyNet passes (and you have waited a long time, OR wipe storage in Google Play).
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rfactor117:
You do not need riru.

Universal SafetyNet fix 2.1.3 it will not work, you need Universal SafetyNet fix 1.1.1
