Custom ROM installation - Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers

Hello . I really need some help with this problem. When I try to install for example the unofficial dirty unicorns ROM on my pixel 4 after flashing the boot.img the device won't boot into recovery. Its saying error boot prepare and it's stuck in fastboot. This also happens to other ROMs.
Thank you

And yes, I did use the commands to flash to the one slot only and on the both slots too

With all the different types of devices and that use unofficial dirty unicorns ROM, how would one provide a solution without specific information:
- Device model
- Android Version
- ROM
- ROM Version
- etc.
On the other hand, if the information was posted on the thread of the ROM you are trying to install. A solution may have already been posted.
Did you search that thread?

Yes, I know and I have searched for it. No one seems to have this problem. Will the problem be fixed if I flash the whole stock factory image? Most people have this problem when magisk patching the factory/stock boot.img.

Now, I understand your problem: I think.
In your original post you couldn't flash the boot.img not the magisk_patched.img.

Try this:
- Flash the Stock boot.img to both slots:
(fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot all)
- Delete all magisk_patched.img
- Open Magisk (Beta or Canary) Manager
- Depending on the version of Magisk Manager installed: Set the Update Channel to Beta or Canary.
- Close Magisk Manager, reboot
- Open Magisk Manager
- Tap install (Next to Magisk)
- Tap Select and patch a file
- Navigate to the Stock boot.img that you extracted from the current Factory image (October 2020)
- Select it
- tap the ✓ (Check mark)
- Tap Lets Go
- Wait for Magisk to finish patching it.
- Reboot
- Move the magisk_patched.img from the download folder on your phone to the Platform-tools folder on your Computer
- Flash it
(fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img)

[Guide][How to]Update Bootloader/Firmware to OOS3/H2OS2 w/o installing OOS/H2OS

Okay guys first let me tell you why I have created a new thread just for updating the BL and Firmware ,
I know we already have methods of updating like:
1. flashing the full OOS3 zip through stock recovery ,this method is quite simple for the ones who are on stock recovery and just want to update their OOS version.If you fall in this category then you have no purpose here,you may leave.
2. Is method provided by our fav helping hand @Joshwin Aranha ,that method is sure for the rest of us who dont fall in the above category,but is way too long,although simple and effective still "long".
I created this thread to help the CM13(Official or Sultan's)//any custom rom using new BL,users who want to update their BL without flashing the OOS through the tedious way just to update BL and users who are stuck on bootlogo due to old BL with roms using new BL.
Here I will guide you through the required steps to update our bootloader "In easiest and fastest way without wiping and restoring anything".
So what are we waiting for ,lets start .
Prerequisites
you will need two files for this process,nothing else.
1 . First one is BLUpdater zip --->Here.
2. Second is TWRP compiled from latest sources use either This or the one from Here<--use v41 or use Sultan's from Here OR if you are Martin's fan like me and want to use his MutiRom TWRP goHere.
PS:I am assuming you have Unlocked Bootloader and have either
official/blu_spark/sultan's/ Multirom TWRP installed,in a working condition on OOS2.x BL(if not what are you doing here).
Note: make sure oem unlocking is checked in developer options in your current rom,else updating the BL may cause it to get locked ,and you will have to unlock it again and flash the recovery manually through fastboot itself.
Now the steps
1.First copy both of the above files in your sdcard or otg or ext-sdcard,any place accessible in recovery.
2. Now boot into recovery Choose Install and choose the "OPXBLUpdateOOS3.1" zip and flash it.
3. Don't reboot now ,go to Install again ,this time use "Install Image" button in lower right corner,navigate to folder where you copied the new TWRP,you should be able to see the file,select it ,choose recovery in the next menu and flash.
NOTE:If you chose to use Sultan's recovery.zip then just flash it normally.
4. Don't reboot come back to TWRP home ,goto reboot and recovery ,if TWRP says no OS installed ignore it.
Now voila you should have updated your firmware/BL.Congrats.
You can now install any rom that supports the new BL.Older roms won't boot on the new MM BL.So check the rom thread before installing the rom and later on quacking here about your device being stuck at bootlogo.
Notes
i)Neither I nor XDA will be responsible if your OPX bricks or explodes or ditches you and flies to space.
ii)We are not touching system partition so last installed ROM will be intact.
iii)This guide will leave you into bootable rom only if you have a rom installed that works on latest firmware.
iv)This can also be used to restore all your OPX partitions back to OOS3.x partition state,if you messed any.
v)In case you are using latest nightly (cm13) and face bootloop - go Here
psst:If you are not diggin the new BL,and wanna downgrade again ,back to old BL,check this post.
PS: (second one,I know) This guide was made by taking inspiration from Joshwin's post and devtry method.

No it wont,right now almost all the custom roms need to update to support new firmware.Only latest cm13 nightlies are booting now,also aosp compiled by olddroid for new BL(shh its only for testers right now)
also maybe the MIUI8 port ,just posted in the forums.
I'm a litte bit confused.
Currently I'm on nighty October 1st. (cm-13.0-20161001-NIGHTLY-onyx.zip)
Can i update the Bootloader with your method and after that booting up my current nightly version?
Or do I have to update after the bootloader update to nightly version 12 (the currently latest)?

no update the BL using the steps above ,then flash the latest nightly.That way it would be good.
Or you can flash nightly first then update BL.Choice is yours.I recommend updating the BL first.
I followed your guide with a locked bootloader, and now I'm in bootloops . Just suggest you put a big red "make sure your bootloader is unlocked" in the steps, not in the footnote.

Reboot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
And using a custom recovery and custom rom makes me assume one have unlocked bootloader

Thanks! I actually relocked my bootloader not long after installed cm13, and disabled "unlock oem" in "developer settings"(I don't know why I did this). So both system and rec is inaccessible, and fastboot is useless in this case. Fortunately I followed the unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108 and get the old bootloader back. Now I could enter CM13-09-28 with all my data intact.
Just hope to let people know the hard lesson I learned, and how to deal the bootloops.
And guys, NEVER RELOCK BOOTLOADER AGAIN!

taking you wanna flash ashwins cm14 right. You just wanna follow the instructions in first post and then flash the cm14.No need to install the whole Oos zip.
This way you should have updated BL and working cm14.
Just flash the cm14 after booting into new TWRP
I've just followed the procedure from OP and all went smooth as butter. Thanks
Directly after that (without reboot) I've installed the latest CM13 (with GApps) and Arsenic R24. Working as a charm

Firstly, thanks loads for producing these ROMs it is much appreciated. :good:
I am unfortunately having issues getting both this and your CypherOS rom to work.
After full wipes of everything both roms get stuck on the "Wileyfox powered by Android" boot screen.
I get the same result sideloading via adb and from the internal memory.
I have tried TWRP 3.0.2.0 and older versions, I have also tried old and new Cyanogen recoveries.
I have successfully got the Slimrom 7.1 rom working and the LineageOS 14.1 rom which also works but with many random reboots.
Any thoughts on what I might be missing when flashing your ROMs?
Again many thanks for the work.
Any chance of grabbing your recipe for building this from source? Own personal use only. I have the VertexOS repo cloned. A copy of your roomservice and local manifest would help enormously.
This seems much more stable than Lineage at the moment. Please note you *MUST* use TWRP 3.0.2-1, the non-test version, to install Vertex and a fastboot -w also can't hurt.
Cannot inatall gapps (Wrong Architecture)
Hi,
I installed VortexOS 1.9... but when I tried to install ARM64 7.1 pico Open gapps package then following Error occurs:
"ERROR 64: Wrong architecture to set-up Open GApps pre-bundled busybox"
I use TWRT 3.0.3-0 (kipper)
Any ideas what I made wrong?
best regards, Chuck
Vertex appears to be built as ARMv7, which means 32 bit. Try the 32 bit pico.
I installed fine with the nano apps and 64 bit, no issues

Unfortunately I could not get that recovery to work via TWRP 3.0.2.1 or fastboot.
I can flash it but not boot to recovery.
If booting the image directly I get

I will try building it myself when I get some time.

TWRP, Rooting and Custom Rom HELP SM-T510 Tablet Tab A 10.1

Hey guys, this is my first post. I just bought a Samsung SM-T510 and would like to unlock all the features. I'm currently trying to follow multiple guides on how to do so. To my understanding, my best bet is lineageOs 16. I've been following https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-16-0-t3987317 alongside with https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...howto-t3989361 and I'm pretty confused on the method order i need to follow. What I mean is do I install rom first, TWRP, Magisk etc.?
More guides ive been following:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-10-1-t3934805
https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...mless-t3473445
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/i...system-as-root
I see posts saying I need and don't need Multidisabler so I'm confused on what I actually need: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ption-t3963020
Another one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ption-t3919714
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...eries-t3918699
I have so many tabs open currently; I know I'm missing a few important ones.
So given all that info, i think i have all the software to do this between kernels, rom, twrp, odin, magisk, multi disabler? and i think thats all.
My sm-t510 build number is T510XXU2ASK5, looking through the lineage rom guide, I click the link https://samfrew.com/model/SM-T510/ and i see different versions. I'm honestly completely confused about this file and how I'm going to use it. I understand it to be the stock rom? as in factory software? With TWRP too, the numbers don't match my current build number leaving me very confused.
Do I need to downgrade my build number (i don't know if it's even a thing just asking)?
I think i can do everything relatively easy once I have an understanding of what to do first (order of things) and the specific files for the specific steps. When I'm reading these guides, I honestly have no idea which download goes for what. For ex. going back to https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-16-0-t3987317 like what do I need to download, the build number listed in notes regarding kernel or go to the download section right below and use that? Or both and if both, how do I use them separately for there a specific purpose? I cannot find anything that makes me feel comfortable rooting/custom rom on my device. Not comfortable in terms of I don't know what I'm doing exactly. I have put days of reading into this and still, I cannot figure out how to do this. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. This is stressing me out and I would like to get this done before Monday due to me having some serious surgery. The reason being; I won't be as fresh on everything I've read recently.
I'm sorry if this post is choppy and all over the place. I'm just exhausted and clueless at this point. If I left any info out in order for someone to help me please let me know so I can provide it.
EDIT: The TWRP file ends in build number SK1, the file lineage-16.0-20191019-UNOFFICIAL-T510XXU2ASI4.tar.md5 doesn't match the TWRP file as well as my current build number; which ends in SK5. So nothing is matching the 3 last characters in my build number across all guides besides the samfrew link.
Also, I keep seeing i need a .tar TWRP file for recovery (?) but when I unzip both files are .img (named boot/recovery)
You don’t unzip the .tar files. Keep them as is.

I don't get a .tar file until I unzip the folder; I get a filed with .tar.md5
My recommendation would be to first upgrade to T510XXS2ASK1 of the OEM firmware, since that's the latest version for which Samsung has published kernel source. Use the latest release of Odin and install BL, AP and HOME_CSC. After this, unlock the bootloader and prevent VaultKeeper from relocking it by always enabling Debugger Options while connected to the Internet after a factory wipe.
From there, you could just install TWRP, install the latest MultiDisabler, and live with the Samsung firmware. You could even install Magisk to root. However, I prefer a clean Google OS without all the OEM bloatware, so I'd recommend installing the latest Nexus Stock (which includes TWRP and the custom kernel that disables Knox boot security features). Again, use Odin and install it to AP and do a factory wipe in TWRP because file-based encryption is still unsupported on these custom ROMs.
You could install LineageOS instead, but I haven't yet updated that for T510XXS2ASK1. I've just been busy and Andy hasn't been releasing any new LineageOS 16 GSIs. We're also pretty close to releasing a LineageOS 17 build.

Just rename the file cutting off the .md5.
is it possible to downgrade from sk5 to sk1? you cannot upgrade to a later version, and I know downgrading can have reverse effects on the tablet. I have same tablet I would like to know. if I flash sk1 is there a way to fix it if it bricks?

Another one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ption-t3919714
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...eries-t3918699
I have so many tabs open currently; I know I'm missing a few important ones.
So given all that info, i think i have all the software to do this between kernels, rom, twrp, odin, magisk, multi disabler? and i think thats all.
My sm-t510 build number is T510XXU2ASK5, looking through the lineage rom guide, I click the link https://samfrew.com/model/SM-T510/ and i see different versions. I'm honestly completely confused about this file and how I'm going to use it. I understand it to be the stock rom? as in factory software? With TWRP too, the numbers don't match my current build number leaving me very confused.
Do I need to downgrade my build number (i don't know if it's even a thing just asking)?
I think i can do everything relatively easy once I have an understanding of what to do first (order of things) and the specific files for the specific steps. When I'm reading these guides, I honestly have no idea which download goes for what. For ex. going back to https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-16-0-t3987317 like what do I need to download, the build number listed in notes regarding kernel or go to the download section right below and use that? Or both and if both, how do I use them separately for there a specific purpose? I cannot find anything that makes me feel comfortable rooting/custom rom on my device. Not comfortable in terms of I don't know what I'm doing exactly. I have put days of reading into this and still, I cannot figure out how to do this. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. This is stressing me out and I would like to get this done before Monday due to me having some serious surgery. The reason being; I won't be as fresh on everything I've read recently.
I'm sorry if this post is choppy and all over the place. I'm just exhausted and clueless at this point. If I left any info out in order for someone to help me please let me know so I can provide it.
EDIT: The TWRP file ends in build number SK1, the file lineage-16.0-20191019-UNOFFICIAL-T510XXU2ASI4.tar.md5 doesn't match the TWRP file as well as my current build number; which ends in SK5. So nothing is matching the 3 last characters in my build number across all guides besides the samfrew link.
Also, I keep seeing i need a .tar TWRP file for recovery (?) but when I unzip both files are .img (named boot/recovery)

without reading answers i can say that im with YOU! Im almost 3 days to root my T510! We must RAMDISK YES in Magisk but to do that we need to extract recovery.img (https://www.droidwin.com/install-magisk-in-recovery-root-android/) from stock original ROM T510OXM5CUJ1 and Im stucked at the part NORAMDISK trying to patch recovery.img with Magisk Manager (with recovery mode checked) but i only get the "waiting for device in ADB" and I conect disconect USB C and nothing...Still NO RAMDISK...
I used 3 different ROMS but no lucky and tried with firmware CUJ1 but no lucky again. Without "NORAMDISK: YES" no root...stucked. But i saw a T510 with OrangeFOX!

I just finished flashing the latest Nexus ROM and rooted it with Magisk merely by flashing the Magisk zip file. You can flash the Nexus ROM without first flashing anything else but the latest CUL1 (not CUJ1) stock ROM. Nexus includes both TWRP and gapps. The only time you have to patch things to get Magisk installed is when you are trying to root a stock ROM instead of a custom ROM. Custom ROMs always to the patching for you.

Wow i will try this today and will post feedback. Are you on Android 11? Thank You!
UPDATE: So...flashed with T510XXU5CUL1...
From OEM stock firmware:
Unlock bootloader -> done
Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode
Install TWRP to AP with Odin --> twrp-3.6.0_11-2-T510XXU5CUL1-20220218.tar ---> this put the tablet into emergency mode... had to do again "Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode" and reflash it again. stucked at this point. cant flash TWRP with that! Maybe this TWRP file its for Android 11.2 and im on 11?

You don't need to flash TWRP if you flash https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...k-for-2019-galaxy-tab-a-10-1-sm-t510.4234889/ TWRP is built into this ROM. After installing stock CUL1, did you boot it, connect to wifi, skip the rest of setup and then enable Dev mode before rebooting to download and flashing from Odin?
edit: Don't attempt to download from the regular download link. Use the link under Build archives that says Android File Host and scroll down till you find the CUL1 md5 file.

You must connect wifi and enable Dev mode before flashing. If, after flashing CUL1, you went through the regular setup routine and put in a Google Account, you must also enable OEM in Dev options.

USB cables are notorious for being flaky. Sometimes it helps to just turn the cable over and plug it back in. I always keep several on hand so that if I have connection problems I can try another cable.

[Fastboot ROM] Stock Android 10 v11.0.11.0 April

Stock Android 10 Fastboot Rom Project
How i made is using payload dumper to unpack payload.bin file inside recovery rom and editing flashing scripts to be usable for this unpacked files.
Requirements
ADB must be installed on PC (Click to ADB to download if you dont have it)
Unlocked Bootloader( fastboot flashing unlock + fastboot flashing unlock_critical )
Steps to install
> Unzip zip file into desktop and open the folder.
> Then run flash_all.bat file and it will install the new update and reboot to system automatically.
(Your files will not be erased if you already unlocked bootloader.)
Latest - v11.0.11.0 - Global - April Security Patch
Recommended Server : Quebec, Canada
DO NOT MIRROR THE DOWNLOAD LINKS BEFORE ASKING ME !
AndroidFileHost - v11.0.11.0 April Security Patch
AndroidFileHost - All Versions
If you want to lock your bootloader after installing it , you can use flash_all_lock.bat OR i prefer to lock it manually by doing this;
Run flash_all.bat and make sure phone boots after installing then open fastboot mode and type
fastboot flashing lock_critical
Then phone will restart automatically into recovery and wipe data.
After screen goes black hold power + volume down button (to open fastboot again) then type
fastboot flashing lock
And after booting you can disable OEM unlock from developer options if you want to.

Because the twrp .IMG file was built only for pie. For Android 10 you will have to use this https://mega.nz/file/1HRAWYKQ#V9OmPxSy3r06qmW8uGszSEBp4qOBJMbmvsaCow2mTJw
Once it is flashed you can use the standard twrp or orangefox or shrp recovery.zip if you want to keep a custom recovery installed
Credits again to @Sapper Morton for creating this Android 10 flashable image

Question Magisk direct install not visible

Hello together
I installed A13 today, after I patched the stock.img and flashed it "fastboot boot file.img" after restart I see that my iOS Emojis are back but I don't see the option direct install in Magisk. I just see "Choose file and patch"..
Any ideas what I could do?

I think the magisk patched 1.5.2 is not really patched or there are some checks in place that allow only certain imgs to work
If it still does not work, download the stock boot, patch it with magisk select that boot img, fastboot, boot the new patched img

Still no success. I just think I broke something while I did the OTA and I just need to wait till the next update. I restored first the images and installed it over OTA, after restart the update was not installed but Magisk deinstalled. Then I installed it again and restarted it and wanted to flash boot.img, but since then its not working anymore

Ok, the problem is that we just discovered 1.5.2 is not unified at all.
Those images are not working because they are dumped from a global device.
You need a modified eea image which i cannot find for now...
I did root my 1.5.2 EEA without issues with a self-patched 1.5.2 Stock from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-os-repo-of-nothing-os.4464039/post-87101175
Since you are very fortunate that this device has usable EDL mode, you can always dump your boot image on any firmware you're by using the EDL tool made by @mark332. (However, I suggest you try following @dedors suggestion first).

Perhaps you are simply missing a step, here are Magisk's official Installation Instructions. They give step-by-step instructions on patching.
