        Not so good news.

        Instead of the being frozen on the boot screen. Now it boot loops.

        Try #1
        Steps
        1. Wiped everything using TWRP
        2. Flashed boot with β€œhalium-boot_walleye.img”
        3. Flashed dtbo with β€œdtbo.img”
        4. Flashed vbmeta with β€œvbmeta.img” using fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
        5. Rebooted device

        Result – Boot loops

        Try #2
        Steps
        1. Flashed boot with β€œtwrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img”
        2. One time booted β€œhalium-boot_walleye.img”

        Result – This booted and then restarted and went into TWRP

        I am able to see the device when I boot into TWRP though. Not sure if this is helpful or not.

          @flashylinux Ok can you check after it bootloops if there is anything in /sys/fs/pstore?

              I cant edit posts I guess after so long so I am double posting but.

              I have not been able to find any file in that directory.

              Try #1
              Steps

              1. Wiped everything using TWRP
              2. Flashed boot with β€œhalium-boot_walleye.img”
              3. Flashed dtbo with β€œdtbo.img”
              4. Flashed vbmeta with β€œvbmeta.img” using fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
              5. Rebooted device
              6. Let Boot loop 3 times
              7. Booted into bootloader
              8. One time booted into TWRP

              Result – Directory empty

              Try #2
              Steps

              1. Flashed boot with β€œtwrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img”
              2. One time booted β€œhalium-boot_walleye.img”

              Result – Directory empty

              I also noticed I was using boot slot "b" and changed it to "a" to see if that made a difference. DO NOT DO THIS. It would not allow me to boot or flash anything. It wouldn't even finish flashing a factory image. I changed it back to slot "b" and everything was back to normal.

                  @Flohack This page at postmarketOS wiki states some issues with pstore. Is it possible we're facing the same issues?

                  https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Google_Pixel_2_XL_(google-taimen)

                  EDIT:
                  Also wondering if we need to set clk_ignore_unused=true, though I'm not sure how or if you've already configured that

                      @flohack Looks like clk_ignore_unused may be needed as a command line boot option, if I'm interpreting this correctly?

                      https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon_835_(MSM8998)

                      If there's an easy way I can test that I'd be happy to, though I realize the same chip is used in taimen and not having this issue.

                        Some small progress I have a Pixel 2 now in my hands and can reproduce the bootloop πŸ™‚ Probably going to attach a UART serial cable via USB to see whats going on

                          @agates Yes indeed adding clock ignore helped. Though now the problem is, will that keep some hardware out of sleep state, and impact battery life?

                            @flohack Awesome! I guess it will be hard to judge battery life since I haven't used the thing as a daily driver for over a year. I'm eager to try it, though, at least to have a phone to develop apps against.

                              @agates you can try to run this installer config manually with ubports-installer -f walleye.yml - https://github.com/ubports/installer-configs/pull/150

                                      Wow, how can someone feel so bad just because we tell him the right naming of things... ?
                                      Ubports devs themselves remind sometime people here, that ubports is the association that maintain the OS, and not the OS itself , wich is uTouch.
                                      Anyway, sorry hurting your feelings teaching something with kindness.

                                        @agates Well to be honest, we are we very peacefully about slight variations of things, but with the name of the OS vs the name of the Foundation we need to be strict:

                                        • UBports Foundation is the organization doing development for, but not limited to...
                                        • Ubuntu Touch, which is the official name for the thing we are doing

                                        Why is this important? Ubuntu Touch is containing the word Ubuntu, and its use is being licensed by Canonical Inc. to us so that we can carry on. We do not want to mix it with UBports, and btw @Keneda also uTouch is wrong and please do not use it :). Since if we get sloppy with that, Canonical might think we do not need the license anymore, and revoke it maybe.
                                        Also we are entitled to sub-license the use of "Ubuntu Touch" to vendors and third parties that want to pre-install Ubuntu Touch on their devices. That is a specific right we can give or deny!

                                        So, to stay clear of and issues with that, please stick to the naming. Also UBports should not be used as a name for 3rd party Github repos, and other project names, since it marks projects as "officially run by the foundation" in perception of the end user. And there we are strict, you cannot use our name for things that you are doing. You can use "Ubuntu Touch" however...

                                          I know uTouch is far from being endorsed by Canonical (so you, as ubports, can't endorse it neither), but it's the "little name" lot of users use so i name it because he can see it here and there πŸ˜‡
