Hello all,
THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT, DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION THREAD FOR OFFICIAL DIRTY UNICORNS 14.x BUILDS FOR PIXEL 2 XL (taimen).
Special thanks to all who were and are involved in the development and also to the maintenance of this ROM.
Flashing instructions:
Go to TWRP
Factory reset
Flash ROM and TWRP zip
Reboot and enjoy!!
If on a previous DU build:
Go to TWRP
Flash ROM and TWRP zip
Reboot and enjoy!!
Note:
If you're going to flash magisk make sure you flash it after you've booted the OS once.
Reminder
Weeklies and official builds are signed with private keys. This means that if you’re on the first official build or last week’s weekly, you can dirty flash this official build. If you’re on anything other than that and want to use this build you MUST perform a full wipe in recovery. If you decide to disregard this and flash this build or a weekly on top of anything, you will not be able to boot. Have fun looking at a black screen
ANY BUGS MAY BE DISCUSSED HERE OR WITH THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM ON THEIR TELEGRAM CHANNELONLY IF YOU HAVE CLEAN FLASHED

Just might be seldom janky...not all the time...I've tested stock DU cam, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram.... all working fine on all 3 different occasions:good:
Cam quality is as good as stock
No hangups...lags...or other issues
I will be using it as my daily driver

Factory reset in twrp. flash rom and twrp. Setup phone and flash afterwards kernel and magisk if needed
Anyone know if it has support for esim on Fi?
Flashing this will remove TWRP and Magisk. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Yes it will according to what I've been reading. I just got my pixel and have been trying to catch up with all the new a and b slots and how recovery is now baked into the boot.img, so from what I understand is that if you flash anything new such as rom or kernel a flash of both twrp and your choice of root is needed also or you will have stock recovery. So much different from my Nexus 6P. Lol. I have a lot to learn that's for sure

Yes but you can reflash twrp and magisk with absolutely no errors ,also twrp has no touch issues with the kernal that's already baked in rom!!!! It's a great rom!
Anyone else having trouble getting this to boot?
I've followed the instructions exactly. Reboot to TWRP (3.2.1-0), factory reset via the wipe menu, install the ROM .zip followed by the TWRP installer zip.
Go to reboot, TWRP asks me if I'm sure I want to do this as there's not an OS installed. I don't know what else to do other than say 'yes' and then it boots to the Google logo with the unlocked icon at the bottom of the screen and just hangs indefinitely at that point. Tried redownloading and recopying the ROM .zip to internal storage and all steps again too.
Any ideas? I've wiped this damn phone so many times and flashed the factory images so many times trying to get a custom ROM to work I'm about to give up. And my phone seems to damn janky where sometimes it does that same freeze on boot (or freezes on the TWRP splash screen) but then a quick reboot will fix it. Doesn't make any sense.

I went back to latest stock using deuces script. Boot twrp. Flash twrp then the rom...boot the rom. Go back into twrp and flash magisk
I had no problems getting it to boot, I followed the op. Factory reset, flash ROM, flash magisk, flash twrp and boot into system. It booted right up no problems

Did you let the phone do it's initial boot after deuce's script ran? Or just stayed in fastboot mode, fastboot booted to TWRP, and flash the ROM and TWRP installer zip?
Also, did you format userdata when given the option in deuce's script? And you flashed TWRP before the ROM? I was under the understanding that the ROM flash would erase the TWRP install.
EDIT: I didn't format userdata, didn't reboot afterwards (just booted straight into TWRP and proceeded), and flashed TWRP before ROM and now it is indeed booting. Just need to figure out now whether or not TWRP is still installed. Many thanks! Deuce's must have fixed something I must have janked I guess.
EDIT2: Yeah appears TWRP should be flashed after the ROM not (just) before like the DU post says. I'm back to stock recovery afterwards.

I was flashing a cm13 rom on top of my cm12.1 rom when I opened the camera and it soft rebooted, I powered it down mid reboot and now I can only access fastboot, or sometimes it will flash the oneplus logo over and over again. (Video below) I tried this method here (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-quickly-unbrick-oneplus-2-oxygen-os-2-0-1516574) but it still does the same oneplus logo flashing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0t8BN6bZDo
How can I fix this or is it a hardware brick?
You have fast boot its not hard bricked.
You're in a bootloop, enter recovery press power+vol down wipes and flash again cm13

I can get into oxygen recovery now but wiping still wont make it boot, what can I do from here?
Edit - I adb sideloaded oxygen OS and it now boots, thanks.
This one works. Thanks @Spannaa

Check this. You should wait after staring the process in Chinese Application. It installs HydrogenOS recovery, so you need to install HydrogenOS via sideload. Then download OxygenOS and flash via HydrogenOS recovery.

@krishna442 - Just FYI, OnePlus2 Stock Reset is probably a better option now as it's based on the files OnePlus support use now.

This is actually a really good update. Question though. Will we ever be able to use our own launcher? And what happened to the old choice of not having all icons on home screen?

You don't. You use adb/fastboot, and give it a go that way. A little bit more work, but not that big a deal.
So I suppose if we want to come from a nexus 9 android n preview, we have to flash the factory image from the last 6.0.1 before we flash the remix os?
looks nice but does not support LTE, says to insert sim card even though it is already there

If you have TWRP installed, it's easy.
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Wipe data, cache, system, dalvik
3. Reboot bootloader
4. Fastboot flash the provided (remixOS) bootloader and vendor
5. Flash the rest of the files, but not recovery (unless you don't want twrp)
6. Select HBoot, then select recovery.
7. (Optional) If you are unencrypted, and want to remain so, flash fed patch v8 in recovery. Now reboot
Doing it this way, you don't lose any files on your device, and your device remains unencrypted plus with twrp. If you want to go back to a regular ROM, all you'll have to do is do your wipes in twrp, flash the correct bootloader and vendor, and you're set. It's a lot easier than transferring stuff on and off every time.

Okay that works too. I just like keeping twrp instead of stock recovery. You don't have to completely flash back to stock though. Only thing you'll need are bootloader and vendor provided.

if you do a search for nexus img you can download it directly from google...just unzip it...and tbh it looks as though it's the same bootloader but i'd flash it just to be safe
my opinion, for whatever it's worth, it's not too bad....i do kinda enjoy opening apps in little pop up windows that i can minimize/close/expand....biggest frustration so far - i like to read on here a lot, vertically it's fine, landscape gives a big white bar on the side and you cannot view the full page you're on, even playing around with the dpi

Yes I was looking from Google directly, do you think the last 6.0.1 will be good?
Remix OS 2.0 is nice already but on the nexus 9 but little bit small for display, waiting for the nexus 9 keyboard from Google that I ordered, hope it will work like a charm.

For what ROM? The RemixOS rom comes with the correct bootloader to flash
Yep I just saw it, I was not sure, thank you
Pleasantly surprised with the update. Feels smooth so far and very glad that we can add widgets to the desktop .
The split keyboard function also makes the keyboard usable while holding the tablet in landscape mode.
There's a easiest way to flash this remix 3.0 ROM on nexus 9 rather than using the fastboot or adb, I can confirm flashing via FlashFire app works by clicking on 'Firmware' then find the .tgz file you downloaded for the remix 3.0. The ROM I had before was completely different as well, slim9 so I was quite rather impressed it still worked without any problems, boot loops but make sure u do the usual wipe cache, system, data etc before flashing. (Don't need to wipe internal storage either)
Its a clean, smooth, fast responsive ROM, huge update from Remix 2.0. Thanks Remix devs <3

Couldn't agree more =)
I'm trying to install LineageOS on my stock rooted 8.0 6P. I did a complete wipe (except internal storage) and attempted to flash through TWRP. Came up as a success but the phone stuck at the Google Logo for over 20 minutes so I unrooted and went back to factory, reinstalled TWRP and tried again with the same result.
On stock or stock rooted it boots fine but won't boot into the other ROM at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you followed the instructions on the dedicated 6P LOS thread? In your OP you didn't mention flashing Vendor,BL or Radio which is at the very top in the "Important Info" section. There is also a Wiki there on how to get it installed.
Thanks, that helps!
I've downloaded the extra files vendor/radio etc but it doesn't say in the instructions https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/angler/install when in the actual process to flash these...
You just need the vendor, even with wrong vendor it should boot, may your rom or gaaps dl was corrupt.
Download ROM and opengapps again. Flash the ROM and let it boot, afterwards you can flash gapps and root anyway.
Edit: you can flash vendor with twrp first if you want to.
Edit: why you want to step back to nougat, try acip Oreo ROM, works great and close to los and you get ota updates too.

Flash Vendor first. BL/Radio are independent and can be flashed after booting the ROM and letting it settle. Even with the addon root, I still had to start LOS, toggle allow root, and then flashed SuperSU. Also spend some time thinking about which OpenGapps package you select before you apply it. Their app is also def worth using. Simplifies the update process. Good luck.

I've always used a minimal (micro) GApps package and flashed immediately after LOS on my N7, so I can't say but you can always start with no GApps, adding them later if you don't like the outcome. Did you look at Pico in the comparisons link? At least it has the dialer framework.

Nope, GApps isn't required. I didn't flash it on mine because I am only using it as a shell for Plasma. You could download alternative markets, though you may need a few of the core Google services for some apps, so beware of that (you could install them manually afterwards though).
So i wanted to try RR, but can't get it too install for some reason. I've been able to flash LineageOS, but every time I try RR I get an error message in TWRP.
Wondering what steps anyone with success has used. I followed the same steps as if I were installing LineageOS.
Thanks~
When I installed RR on my LG G2 a long time ago, it let me reduce the haptic vibration. Wonder if it would do this on the PH-1 too.

I unlocked the bootloader today, I was trying to install RR with twrp 6 and the other one that is on the root guide section. They won't install it. I tried with the 7 one and bingo. The only issue I'm facing I can't get twrp to stick, is either twrp or wifi gets broken.

If you're gonna flash Magisk, use Invisiblek's hacked version. Thanks to The_Automator for pointing this out to me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=74701054

Here is what you do.
From your ADB folder
Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
fastboot -w (completely wipes the device)
fastboot flash boot twrp.img (flashes TWRP, I renamed mata7 to twrp to make it easier)
Reboot into TWRP
adb shell twrp sideload (this starts sideload in TWRP)
adb sideload lineage-14.1-20171130_060947-UNOFFICIAL-mata.zip (this flashes the latest RR)
adb sideload magisk_14.3_invisiblekhax.zip (this is magisk that is tweaked properly)
Then reboot. Do no reflash TWRP as you have no reason to, and it breaks stuff.
This will work everytime, I've jumped from RR to Lineage to XenonHD without any issues at all.

You have to flash the ROM again and magisk the one invisiblek provided. WiFi gets broken because you flashed twrp.

Yes. The steps that Turbojugend posted are just one way of doing it. You can also just download the ROM to ur phone, then wipe, and flash it in TWRP. The only adb step u need is to flash TWRP, if u haven't done that already. If u want root, just make sure u flash Invisiblek's hacked Magisk version, which saves u from having to flash Magisk to the other partition, and keeps the boot.img intact.

Hi everyone,
I'm rooted. I flashed the Beta 3 rom and TWRP. Then, I rebooted into TWRP and flashed Magisk v18. Now, my phone spins on the boot animation screen for about a minute, then reboots into TWRP. Any ideas what I should do? I've tried wiping cache, but still the same issues.

The stock boot.img file is extracted from OOS and the patched boot.img is after you patch it via Magisk.

Use this if you're on OOS 9.0.5/9.0.6/9.0.7, but if you are on a higher OOS then you need to grab your stock boot.img for 9.0.10 from here and 9.0.11 from here, and patch it yourself using the instructions below.
Connect your phone to your PC using the OnePlus Cable
Reboot to Bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader" on PC while your phone is in TWRP
Rename stock boot .img file to boot.img on PC
Use "fastboot boot boot.img" on PC while your phone is in Fastboot Mode / Bootloader
Follow this guide once you are done with the above steps to root your phone with Magisk and actually boot.
I am in the same situation.
1) Got the phone. Unlocked with out-of-the-box firmware. Put TWRP on it, Magisk. All worked like a dream.
2) Time passed, I tried to play Fortnite a bit, which kicked me out due to root. Had to use Magisk Canary. Still, NO issues, all superb!
3) New firmware. The December one. Kept postponing it, but after like 2 weeks, I was like, meh, why not. Big mistake.
From this point on, I cannot root no matter what I try. As soon as I flash Magisk, it will keep booting back to TWRP.
I have even tried to grab the Canary ZIP to flash. Nothing. Tried flashing back the full base update file from OnePlus, then root. Nothing.
It's like an endless loop.
To be fair, I only use root / magisk because I need call recording. Sadly, it's been killed in Android 9, but OnePlus has a hidden feature for this. Unfortunately you have to use either ADB on each boot, or use Magisk to enable it and save you time, hassle.
Anyone has any idea, shoot.
This is a 100% unbranded, OnePlus-store-bought 8GB/128GB 6T model.
Ps.: IF you ever get stuck in this loop - you can boot your phone by using the original "boot.img".
You can grab it here:

To boot it, simply:
1) Enter Bootloader where you can use fastboot (NOT TWRP!).
2) Use `fastboot boot boot.img`
3) Your phone now will boot up.

Plug your phone into your PC
Use this command in TWRP's Terminal and type this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=boot.img
Copy it from your phone to your PC (in the directory your command prompt is in) and use the command:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
TWRP doesn't work
Hi there,
Just like you I have installed twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6 TWRP recovery on my phone to flash custom ROM (as recommneded by this ROMs list), however, it doesn't work. Like, no matter whether you I to flash unofficial or official custom ROM, it says that 'Something isn't right'. I think there's some problem within this recovery. Hoping for good.

Flash the CORRECT one, for the OnePlus 6T. Not for the OnePlus 6.
