Kali Nethunter on Google Pixel? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I was thinking about getting the Google Pixel and I know its like the Nexus 6P so does Kali Nethunter work on it and if so where do I download it?

It's nothing like the 6p, especially when it comes to partitions.
It will be a while before any Roms ot a stable twrp comes around, best to ask the devs at kali

I believe I may have had some success.
I started on freshly stock 7.1.2 (NJH47F, Aug 2017)
I extracted the zImage from this roms boot.img (ElementalX + USB hid patch)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/rom-purenexus-project-t3659287
then flashed the zImage using fastboot (fastboot flash kernel zImage)
booted to twrp from fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/mod-twrp-recovery-pixel-android-o-dp4-t3651896)
then installed the latest supersu
installed nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling-3.15.4-20170629-1630.zip from https://build.nethunter.com/nightly/3.15.4-20170629-1630/
rebooted and the nethunter app initilized.
Seems to be working. HID output n such. I'm going to recompile the kernel from source with they other patches needed for nethunter but this did the trick for me to get USB-hid functions

No, doesn't work... not going to happen...
To basic...
After injecting the kernel, from the roms boot.img. It appears that TWRP will NOT boot past the TWRP splash screen. Warranting a hard reboot back into Bootloader or the Android OS.
Also verified in about kernel ..and $uname -r to ensure kernel had injected… flawlessly.
Tried both TWRp’s
#Fastboot boot twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img
&
#Fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-alpha2-fastboot-marlin.img
So that’s as far as one can progress at the moment due to the new partition scheme.

LineageOS 13 for Life One X2-Mini

This rom is compiled from source from cm-13 tree by me. https://github.com/LineageOS/android/tree/cm-13.0
This rom is built for BLU Life One X2 Mini (L0130UU)
This rom allows adb to run as root, but mounting system rw will cause kernel panic and forced shutdown.
I don't use any root other than adb root.
This rom is my daily driver, I have used Lineageos on my phone since my first build, I have no problems with rom, however your mileage may vary.
What works
Camera
Fingerprint
SIM
Data
GPS
Audio
Video Playback
Sensors
Led
known issue
FM radio doesn't work
ideals are welcome.
below are two roms, main difference is toolchain stock toolchain verses UBERTC toolchain, you decide which you prefer.
download rom

Current Rom
Rom is built using GCC: (UBERTC-4.9.x) toolchain
Kernel is built using (UBERTC-5.4.1) toolchain

When I install the ROM with gapps I get errors in the set up process - it says "google services stopped" and then when I try to install software from playstore it gives another error and the apps wont install.
I am using the upside down TWRP 3.1, it seems when I wipe and even format there is still data on the drive - any ideas, do you think its an error because I'm not doing it from adb sideload?

My device isn't encrypted, I use fastboot to format data, system, cache the first time, then use TWRP from then on.
I use my own version of TWRP, I am not familiar with the version you use, from reading that is an earlier version later version are better.

what adb command do you use for format? thanks for following (updated to the newest recovery that is "right side up"
Edit: I am thinking my root is not working for some reason... Unsure how to fix. I flash magisk from TWRP but it doesnt look like it takes when I run a rootchecker
Looks very promising, I will attempt to flash this tonight. I ran the ported version of lineage OS for a good 6 months before it one day started boot looping (which others have reported as well for that version) . Been running the latest Drax for the mini since then (thank goodness for backups) but am starting to miss a lot of the features from Lineage. Have you had any luck getting the FM radio app to work? If not I would be happy to take a look at it when I flash it later on.

I haven't looked at FM radio, I would say it doesn't work, On mtk devices source had to be patched for radio to work, I am using unpatched LineageOS source.
The source takes so long to download and sync, I won't patch it just for FM radio.
If you want to work on FM radio, that's up to you, just isn't important to me.
Anyway good luck.

It's a feature of Magisk. You install Magisk manager and it will save a patched version of your boot.img that you can pull and flash in fastboot mode.

Some think the link is "clickbait."
I thought if you installed MM only, you could patch a boot.img with MM. Are you saying that when you install MM it does it without intervention?
Last time I did it you had to get a boot image, transfer it to the device, MM can then patch it, you transfer it back to a PC, flash in fastboot.
Pretty sure we need to wait for a few things, twrp for the Pixel 3, and Google to release the images.
the phone is starting to get to hands on people
it's not like samsung where we can make twrp and root without the device

I'm curious what the new Titan security chip will do for rooting and custom rooms. Sounds like something that if done right it can be flashed, but it could present a roadblock depending on how it was implemented.

I found this out the hard way
Thought I bricked my phone; black screen. Finally after holding down the power button for a second it said boot incompatible or something in the bootloader. There was a new message I hadn't seen before on a Pixel bootloader. (It also says "button combo" in that message area if you use the buttons to get to bootloader.)

No luck here. I patched the boot img with magisk and it fails to boot. @topjohnwu Please save us. I'll test if needed. I flashed back to stock boot and am good to go.
Factory images are up
Thanks for giving it a try,,,was hoping it would work but I doubted it. Hopefully Magisk can be updated for root! If not, this is going back,,,not enough of a worthy upgrade esp if root is not possible.

Root will come. Give it time
Same tried patching boot.img, fails to boot. Reflashing stock boot.img fixes it. Never really looked at the sizes before, but the patched_boot.img is roughly half the size of the stock boot.img

Android Q Pixel 3 XL ROOT users Q&A

I am starting this thread for us users and experiences while using Android Q. What works, what doesn't. I am not a dev. I am a user. Not here to bash anyone if something doesn't work. @topjohnwu just got root released for this last night.
So one thing I found which I am sure will fixed soon is
SD MAID not working.
Afwall is working.
Systemui tuner working
Button mapper working
I am sure as we go on and they will all work great. But like I said this is just a post what you found thread. If something does work, post it. If something doesn't, post it. Even if someone needs something like an apk. Ask and shall receive. This is a time of helping each other. Not flaming and bashing. Thank you to everyone that has read this and thank you to all the great devs out there and thank you to us users that can exchange information peacefully.

I can't get the root to work on my pixel 3 XL. After patching the boot.img through fastboot all I get is bootloops and the an error saying can not boot with boot.img on the fastboot recovery screen. If I re-flash the factory boot.img through fastboot I can boot just fine again.

I am using a custom kernel so I didn't try to root the stock boot image. But it seems other people are rooting the stock boot image. I would hope they can help you. If I get around to it, I will try and root the stock boot image to see if it works. Someone should be able to help. Custom kernel roots just fine

I ran into the same issue... it started bootlooping, so I flashed dp4 from scratch and then skipped setup, grabbed the boot.img from the dp4 folder on pc, put it on my phone, installed the newest app.release from canary builds and patched it..... rebooted to bootloader and flashed the boot.img in both slots and rebooted .. it worked

Custom kernel. Singular is a go. That's what I'm running. I didn't have to flash both slots. That doesn't make sense at all. I am going to get my lazy ass off the veranda and flash the rooted boot image.
Edit: I have Pie in my inactive slot and QBeta 4 in my active slot. If that makes any sense to you guys?
What's the problem? Flashed to active slot only.
Your doing something wrong if you can't root the stock boot image
When I originally rooted Q I did it ota patch inactive slot. Bootlooped. I just went to factory recovery and wiped data. Has worked ever since. I believe mine was looping to modules not being compatible with Q yet. Also if you grab the Q image and pull the boot image. You can patch it that way too. With Q, it is finicky with apps because of isolated storage. Which is weird because zarchiver still sees all files but amaze only sees root directory. Files app I noticed is saying some files I have are folders and not disk images. Zarchiver says it right still. Fastboot -w to manually remove all data too. Sometimes Titan m drive can cause weird things that is why I go to stock recovery and wipe it that way, wipes the Titan m drive too.
Did anybody already try to flash ainur sound mod and can report if it's working? For me the main reason to unlock bootloader again and start root procedure on Q...

Do you have any modules for magisk on your phone? Almost none work at the moment. They are working to get them up and running. Also old data can cause bootloops. Did you leave the Preserve AVB unchecked? If you have Q up and running, check that you are getting the latest magisk zip when patching too.

Click on advanced settings. And make sure when you did patch it, it wasn't checked. It should not be now with 10. With pie it is. Q will not work with it checked. It will double check system to the other partition. And the slot with magisk doesn't match the untouched slot.

While an official version of Lineage 17 is not available, the GSI/Treble version should work for the Pixel 3/3a/4 (including XL versions of all three), since all three lines are Treble-ready by design. (I have the GSI Lineage 17 image waiting to test over Bird Weekend.)
Here are my personal builds:
Pixel 3a: https://updater.invisiblek.org/sargo
Pixel 3a XL: https://updater.invisiblek.org/bonito
Notes:
On the bottom of the respective pages is a recovery you can fastboot boot in order to adb sideload the rom. These are auto-built on Sunday mornings in addition to when I decide I want a new build. The built in updater works and will pull and install my new builds seamlessly in android. Gapps are included (no I will not make builds without gapps, don't ask me). I really don't plan to support these, so dont PM/email me or anything about them. You're on your own. I run them on my personal device (bonito) so you can be pretty sure things will work fine. Make sure you've gone to official android 10 before trying to go to this as there are bootloader changes that you definitely need. Data wipe is needed, these are signed with my own private keys and will not be compatible with anyone else's builds.
I'll give these a test

Is it correct to assume that there should be official builds once these are merged or is there anything still remaining?

I got it working by extracting the boot.img from the lineageos zip file using payload_dumper and patching with magisk. Using the stock boot.img from google does not work properly(although it did kinda boot for me but without the touchscreen working).

By the way, I upload the boot.img for each build as well. If you're in to doing all this magisk stuff you can always grab the boot.img for the rom by appending ".boot.img" to the end of the rom's download url. Saves you a step at least...

Is that pretty difficult with the state of the LineageOS project right now for this device? I might be willing to give it a shot, I have a lot of embedded Linux experience(I maintain a number of buildroot packages) although not much on the android side.

hi - i flashed the latest factory image on my phone.. and having issues trying to get this ROM installed.
I downloaded the Recovery image from your page and via 'Fasboot Mode' and getting the below error message.
I am able to get Magisk installed but getting the same message with phone being rooted. Am I doing something wrong?
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot sargo-recovery-eng.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.521s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Error verifying the received boot.img: Invalid Parameter')
fastboot: error: Command failed

I'm getting this same error when trying to boot the recovery.
I actually even tried unzipping the ROM zip, unloading payload.bin, and flashing the images manually. It says my device is not unlocked (it is..) when I get to the system IMG in fastbootd mode. So I don't know how people are getting these, or the recovery, to work. Can someone help me out? Thanks
My process to install it based on https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...lineageos-16-0-appears-to-live-t3939150/page7 and user 12paq for showing me the link.
1) Reboot to bootloader
2) sudo fastboot set_active a
3) sudo fastboot flash boot_a bonito-recovery-eng-3.img
4) Wipe data/factory reset
5) sudo adb sideload lineage-17.0-20191201-UNOFFICIAL-bonito.zip (this will only go to 47%, which I read is normal.)
6) reboot
I successfully installed the rom. thanks so much!
but is it possible to root for it??

Yes root is possible if you patch and flash the boot image

If anyone has Android Auto in their car, wireless preferred but try the wired. I tried to hook mine up and the phone froze. Tried several times but it works on Stock. On the latest 12-08 bonito.

i just flash boot the recovery image first, then erase user data, you can reboot to recovery mode
i thought you should try to boot from the stock november patch first as i failed when i boot from the december patch
Simple install/update instructions
These are the steps I used, which worked flawlessly (I'm on Sargo). Hopefully this simplifies the process for anyone who wants to use this or is having trouble.
Prerequisites:
ADB, Fastboot, and Drivers (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
LineageOS Rom and Recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81048663&postcount=5)
Unlock phone:
Go to Settings > About Phone, then tap "Build Number" until it says you are a developer.
Next go to Settings > System > Developer Options and enable the option "OEM Unlocking".
Connect phone to pc, and boot into fastboot. (With the phone off hold Volume Down and Power buttons.)
From the windows console enter "fastboot oem unlock" and your phone will become unlocked.
Install Rom:
Connect phone to pc, and boot into fastboot. (With the phone off hold Volume Down and Power buttons.)
From the windows console enter "fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img" and you will enter recovery.
From recovery choose "Apply Update from ADB" and in the windows console enter "adb sideload <rom_filename>.zip"
When it has completed choose "Reboot System Now" and the install will be complete.
Special thanks to invisiblek for making these builds available to us!

Possible TWRP development?

I notice the full ROM has separate recovery image.
Is there any way to develop TWRP from the recovery?
I never have knowledge to make one unfortunately

Because of dynamic partitions, TWRP is useless actually. You can boot it but that's all, you can't flash anything.
Running the same issue on Pixel 4XL. Any device that boots on 10 or higher at the moment. No update since October 2019...

There's an easy way to revert
Download a full ROM and extract boot.img and patch one and keep another ad backup

How can I extract the boot.img and patch it before I flash it to the phone?
Finally how can I flash the boot.img to the phone?
Sorry to sound like an idiot. I have rooted a phone before ( Moto X Pure )
and it worked well.
This phone tho is newer and uncharted territory for me. There were programs and such for the X Pure
when i did it. This seems to be a command (adb) process only.
Finally, is there a different logo.img I can use ( I assume this is the boot animation file)

ROM is zip format
You need to get the lastest ADB for windows to have fastbootd support
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
Fastbootd is like recovery and flashing command is same
Found the TWRP has support for One Action, Vision, and Zoom
Are these mainly the same phone with camera and battery changes as well as some software changes?
Can one of these not be used for Hyper?
If things go awry, can a factory flash from stock rom fix issues?

Vache, the only dev we have, made a port today. It's in the roms section...
