Pixel 2 XL (Taimen) Testing Results
-
When wiping the Cache and System partitions using Advanced Wipe this is what TWRP displays:
Updating partition details... ...done Full SELinux support is present. Wiping Dalvik Directories... Cleaned: /data/dalvik-cache... -- Dalvik Directory Wipe Complete! Formating System using mkefs... Done. Updating partition details... ...doneWhen I try to format using TWRP:
Failed to unmount '/data' (Device or resource busy) Updating partition details... ...done -
@maurice said in Pixel 2 XL (Taimen) Testing Results:
The only way to restore TWRP menus was to fastboot flash all three of the taimen stock images:
no need get twrp menu. when u flash haluum-boot.img, vendor.img.
fastboot boot twrp.img.
twrp always on first screen.
just run the last install command.then adb reboot. -
@atomos Thanks. I tried a different version of TWRP and I'm getting some progress but then the phone disconnects:

@maurice
mine:
macbookair2013mid with ubuntu 20.04.
pixel2 xl 128g with android 9 factory image.
download and install <- all like you did.
format data in twrp first, when everything ready.
flash halium-boot.img.
flash vendor.img.
fastboot boot twrp.img(3.50) then sreen just show twrp logo.never get menus.
install last install commad.
adb reboot. -
@atomos could the issue on mine might be that I have to roll back to android 9 before trying the steps?
For example should I be rolling back to 9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.009, Aug 2018) from https://developers.google.com/android/images ?
-
@maurice I think u need rolling back to 9.0.0(lineageOS 16 )
-
@atomos ok will try that out and report back. Thanks for the help : )
-
Just ran into an issue rolling back. Will have to pick this test up later this week. Thanks for everyone's help.
-
@maurice Its really strange but it could be your USB cable, or try different port on your host. Definitely this is an error related to the ADB protocol. So it looses connection to your device from time to time.
You can try yourself, push a bigger file into /data (few hundred megs) like:
adb push xy.tgz /dataand see if that goes through.Note that this has nothing to do with clearing partitions. You can also try an older TWRP version. We might also be able to use the UBports recovery, let me try to build that tonight.
-
@Flohack
can i use google factory image9.0(lineageOS16)'s vendor? all pixel phone not supported China Telecom 4g. so I need root the phone in android 9 and copy some mcfg_sw.mbn files into /vendor/rfs.... for 4g. thanks! -
@atomos You can use Google´s vendor partition but I found some things wont work with it. Might have problems with sensors, GPS, Camera. But give it a try.
-
@flohack can I copy files to /vendor/rfs/msm/mpss/readonly/mbn/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic/
afer install ubuntu.
i usesudo mount -o remount,rw /then do copy command, its says read only filesystem.
-
@atomos No you probably need to do this in recovery. The partition is mounted as bind-mount, not easy to set readable....
-
@flohack just tried adb push using TWRP 3.2.3.0, seems that the push is failing around 100mb.

After trying multiple times using the Macbook air ports. I tried a different setup. Used an external USB/USB C dock (Dell Universal Dock D6000) with a USB C to USB C cable connected to the phone.
So Macbook Air (2013) -> Dell Universal Dock -> Pixel 2 XL.
And when trying the script it finally worked!
