      @agates damnit its getting personal. So lets try this:

      • Can you flash TWRP recovery to boot
      • Then, run fastboot boot halium-boot_walleye.img and let it get stuck for lets say 5mins
      • Then, Long-press power to reboot into recovery
      • finally, when TWRP has booted can you enter adb shell and then try to see if that file exists: /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops ?

      Thanks!

        @flohack Okay so to be clear, I:

        1. Flashed TWRP to the boot partition:
          fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img
        2. Booted into the halium boot image directly:
          fastboot boot halium-boot_walleye.img
        3. Waited 10 minutes
        4. Force-rebooted the device, it booted into TWRP
        5. Opened adb shell checking for /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops.

        Unfortunately that file isn't there... the pstore directory is empty.

        Here are the images used with sha256sum:
        twrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img: e7edcfb553b5c9b7ed717b3439c465075ee17b0eb938bafdce511bbea1cc3cd6

          @agates Alright can you try the same with wiping data partition first? I have a suspicion... Wipe data, and then try telnet 192.168.2.15 again one time, and if this does not come up, try to boot into that recovery again and see for a pstore... πŸ™‚

            @flohack OK, I flashed TWRP to the boot partition, booted into TWRP, wiped the data partition, then booted into halium-boot_walleye.img directly from fastboot.

            Same result, can't telnet, no console_ramoops file.

            Wondering if I should start from android again for a clean slate?

              @agates No I dont think Android is the issue. The symptom seems that the kernel does not boot at all. Thats weird somehow. I will continue digging... ^^

                I repeated @agates's path and got the same result:
                I flashed the latest android 9 using the google site.
                Installed ubports installer on ubuntu computer.
                Downloaded the config walleye.yml for my google pixel 2 and ran the installer with it. Installation was successful. Then flashed halium-boot_walleye.img via fastboot.
                The phone won't boot and hangs on the google logo.
                The /sys/fs/pstore folder is empty.

                  @contonice oh there is one thing I want to try, please take this boot.img instead of halium-boot: https://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/mzfmYJscqPyM2Bc

                    @flohack Still no luck here, no console_ramoops found, and same behavior with stuck at google logo.

                    Here's the last_kmsg if it helps.

                    EDIT: I attempted with both the TWRP+boot method and the ubports installer (modifying the config with that new url for boot.img).

                              @flohack I've successfully installed the OS on the Pixel 2. I'm getting a lot of touchscreen problems though, like double or ghost touches. Shutdown seems to really power off the device though.
