Update vendor Img - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

So I intsalled Lineage OS on the pixel and I am getting a vendor img incorrect message. So I flash the correct vendor image in twrp but still I get this message. Am I doing it wrong or do I have to flash it on both A and B slots whats the proper steps to update a vendor img? Ive never actually had to update the IMG before.

do it on both slots. In fastboot do
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img

Don't worry, that one isn't included in the latest Nougat builds as well and they still flash normally.
Just proceed without that

What were you trying to do before this happened. What rom are you using.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
I had the same issue but I could actually boot into GSIs. Although it would reboot into the crash dump screen after the phone went to sleep.
Flashing stock 5.1.11 did temporarily fix it but as soon as I installed any custom rom, the issue would return.
Thankfully there's a solution:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892
Long story short, some file got corrupted or something and nothing besides an EDL flash can fix it. You need to enter EDL ( power off the phone, hold volume up for 10 seconds and connect it to the pc while still holding vol up ) and if your PC recognizes the phone as qcom 9008 or something like that, open up the program and let it flash all the stuff onto the phone.
After it's done, the issue should be solved.
I had this issue while I was trying to port roms. What I did was go to fastboot, boot twrp, flash OOS OTA.
Edit: Now I'm dead stuck at crash dump mode. I cant boot TWRP over fastboot it goes back to crash dump mode and I dont have windows machine so I cant use MSM tool I will try fastboot OOS installer now.
Edit2: I managed to boot the phone now. I have followed the following way:
1. I have dumped the Beta 3's payload.bin with: python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
2. I have flashed the following partitions through fastboot:
fastboot flash aop_a aop.img
fastboot flash aop_b aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth_a bluetooth.img
fastboot flash bluetooth_b bluetooth.img
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash dsp_a dsp.img
fastboot flash dsp_b dsp.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img
fastboot flash LOGO_a LOGO.img
fastboot flash LOGO_b LOGO.img
And it works after that. If you can't dump the files, I can upload them for you.
The bad thing is, you can't install custom rom, custom kernel, install twrp or do anything that makes Oneplus Oneplus... This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

I had that issue last night - I flashed OB3 - and flashed a kernel that worked on OB1/OB2.
I used the MSM download tool but doing that you lose everything. I tried the fastboot flashing method of OOS but had no success.
Did you get it flashing OB3? Then TWRP or a kernel?

You could also try changing active slots
fastboot --set-active=x
"x" being a or b for the respective slot
Ther's a problem with recovery and some other stuff. You can solve the problem with a patched boot with recovery. You can find it in the blu stark trade!
go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-beta-t3818853
download Beta 3 Patched Boot from here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TD...NoBAReZVZlir0U
reboot to fastboot and type
fastboot flash boot beta3_patched_boot.img
reboot normally and rooted
when open goto magisk and flash from the app the 17.1.zip
Easiest way is flashing recovery from fastboot mode with command fastboot flash boot recovery.img. After that reboot recovery, wipe, install rom & recovery reboot system :good:

did you try it? because the latest beta doesnt boot and goes to soft brick menu
check here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77628189&postcount=438
you need to flash latest OB3 blu_twrp 9.85 patched boot
Hi, your links are truncated.
Could you correct them ?
Thank you.

okay I did
fastboot flash boot boot_op6_ob3_twrp.img
Now afterwards I can't even go into the fastboot, and rarely I can get into TWRP. I can't even boot normally. Sorry I am a noob, what should I do? When I try to start the phone it gets stuck on "the boot loader is unlocked"-screen.
Since I can't use fastboot or boot normally, can I flash stock through twrp? and if yes can you link me to the correct file?
EDIT: ok I used this https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 and I lost all my data, but whatever, im just glad my phone still works
Before you try to use the Qualcomm way,
You can try to boot into the fastboot (power + volume plus without plugging in the USB cable) and flash the unofficial twrp which is from blu_spark.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads
I met this problem when I tried to install official twrp after I installed the OxygenOS9 BATE3.
I think this problem is because of some conflicts between the twrp and the OS (I guess)
My friend told me that I should try to flash another recovery.
And I tried to flash the unofficial from blu_spark and it finally works.
Thanks, Blu_Spark.
Even if it still isn't work, you can try to flash the official recovery from the OnePlus.
I will be happy if it works for you.

I am facing the same issue with OB4
I also tried the fasrtboot flashing method.
But on that thread, one of the steps is to Fastboot boot twrp
and later adb commands to be executed in twrp mode.
But I CANNOT go into recovery on OB4
please hlep

Is there any solution for this? I had to revive my OP6 with the fastboot stock rom and now I am unable to fastboot into TWRP. Also end up in crash dump mode.
Edit: OK flashing Blu Spark TWRP image fixed the problem.

Can't install ROMs? Please check here.

Hi guys. If you can't install ROMs, this is your place to ask. Please be detailed, mention: ROM, build, your variant and firmware version. And tell us your specific issue.
Here's a guide on how to do it, and I'll link you to the files needed for the procedure:
1. If you're using a Google account, remove it in Settings > Accounts and factory reset. Else, skip this step.
2. Unlock your bootloader following Motorola's instructions. Google it, it'll be easy to find and follow.
3. Download:
. Fastboot tools/Minimal ADB & Fastboot or your prefered fastboot program for PC.
. A firmware image for your variant
. ROM you want to install
. GApps (optional): http://opengapps.org/
. Magisk (optional): https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
And the next files:
TWRP (img) & TWRP installer (zip): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299042
copypartitions.zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiry9UfP2tf-5A6nQBF7pn2t2eSGKt0F/view
You'll need an SD card to store the files needed for installing the ROM, since internal storage won't be usable temporarily.
4. Hold power + volume down until you reach bootloader (fastboot mode).
In your extracted firmware folder open a terminal and flash your firmware files with these commands:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't worry if any error message appears.
5. Place TWRP .img file into your fastboot folder, and do "fastboot boot TWRP.img" - replace TWRP with file's real name, but it should be the IMG file's name, not the zip file's name. With TWRP booted, now check if the screen actually responds. If it doesn't, just turn your phone off, get into fastboot mode again, and boot TWRP until it works.
6. With that solved, now just copy copypartitions.zip to your sdcard (called external_sd in your phone) and install it. Also copy to your external_sd, just to save time, your ROM and TWRP's installer. And Magisk or GApps if you'll need them.
7. Reboot to bootloader, and do "fastboot -w".
8. "fastboot boot" TWRP again, flash ROM, and flash TWRP's installer (zip file). Boot system.
9. Reboot to bootloader, select recovery mode and flash Magisk/GApps if you need them.
10. Reboot to system, and enjoy
Any questions, feel free to ask 'em in the comments. Hope it works!
P.S.: OmniROM has its own recovery (TWRP is a recovery). So, keep that in mind and don't flash TWRP's zip in Omni if you want it to boot.
Also, if you want, you can try OrangeFOX. It's a cute TWRP replacement that has some interesting features. Worth checking out.
TL;DR:
1. Remove your Google account
2. Flash firmware with the set of commands attached.
3. "Fastboot boot" TWRP and flash copypartitions.zip.
4. Go to bootloader mode and do "fastboot -w".
5. Boot TWRP, flash ROM and TWRP's installer
5.1. Boot system
(optional) 6. Open recovery mode and flash Magisk/GApps.

You'll need an SD card to store the files needed for installing the ROM, since internal storage won't be usable temporarily.
All ROMs posted in XDA are actually working in this device.
Thank you for creating this thread. People need to get used to this A/B partition format. This is the proper forum to discuss these issues, not in the development section.
Using these instructions:
crDroid -> bootloop
bootleggers rom -> bootloop
lineageos -> bootloop
ressurection remix -> bootloop
Twrp is screaming at me "Failed to mount /data partition "invalid argument"
I noticed your instructions fail to mention you need to run through the setup process of android, then run fastboot -w, then run twrp format data as fastboot -w will (using retus and amz stock rom) create a "raw" partition table and so on. None of the current roms can handle this and will bootloop.
These incomplete instructions will waste people's time and cause problems.
Please reconsider the purpose of this thread. It is the developers responsibility to add a filesystem check during rom flash and write working instructions. Currently only bootleggers instructions will work to any capacity due to their inbuilt sanity checks.

Hey. like I said at the beggining of the thread, it's not possible to help you without giving specifics. Give that info and I'll help you.
I made this thread because this steps worked to dozens of users, and I'm not joking. Literally. They are not incomplete since they worked for everyone. Search for our group in Telegram if you think it's not true. We might be able to help you there too.
TWRP screams "Failed to mount /data partition", that's why internal storage won't work temporarily until you flash a ROM. Could that be better? Of course. But still the procedure works.
"I noticed your instructions fail to mention you need to run through the setup process of..." Nope. There's no need for that. That's why I didn't mentioned it, because I've tried lots of ROMs and never needed to do that.
Also, do you have latest fastboot? Some users had issues because of using older versions of that program.
But yeah, I'm not some friend who can go to your house and see what you've got. So, we need information. I won't be able to help you further if you don't do your part. Tell me what you've got please.

Hey, did you read my last reply, as well as the first line of this thread? Where I require specifically to give me some info first to be able to help you. I'm like trying to help a question mark... try to follow a simple rule.
In step 9, you're doing "fastboot boot" to TWRP, or you're actually going to recovery mode? We need to know if TWRP install actually works. Even if you won't use any Magisk or GApps, check if it is actually installed AND working.
I've also heard of users that had issues booting of the first time a ROM with TWRP installed. Maybe just do the procedure until you have to flash a ROM, and boot the system instead of installing TWRP. And flash TWRP after the ROM already booted and it's running.
Also, how much time should pass for you to consider for a ROM to be bootlooping?
Well, both fastboot -w and TWRP mount /data errors are the same thing. Fastboot isn't able to format it properly, so data is not mounted by TWRP. Like I said before, it's a temporal thing that's fixed when flashing the ROM. Don't worry about that.
But please, I don't know if you do this on purpose, you're not following even a simple request stated at the beggining of the thread. Please answer that to keep the conversation going, I won't reply you any further if you don't do your part.

Dude, I had the same issue as you, couldn't load any roms, no matter what guide I followed, it always bootlooped. Turned out to be my microSD was causing it. I followed Life_goes_on's solution on this thread (post #74):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/development/rom-resurrection-remix-t3994687/page8
Substituted 'fastboot erase userdata' for 'fastboot -w' and took out my microSD before booting it up and it worked.
I'm using the MetroPCS version on RETUS firmware.

After i flash rom and twrp I can go to twrp by holding volume down and pwr then selecting recovery at that point or can boot it via fastboot. I think that it changes parition (from a to b) during this process so I always use twrp to reboot to recovery even if I am not flashing gapps or magisk to rule out problems.

Dude, I had the same issue as you, couldn't load any roms, no matter what guide I followed, it always bootlooped. Turned out to be my microSD was causing it. I followed Life_goes_on's solution on this thread (post #74):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/development/rom-resurrection-remix-t3994687/page8
Substituted 'fastboot erase userdata' for 'fastboot -w' and took out my microSD before booting it up and it worked.
I'm using the MetroPCS version on RETUS firmware.

Alright I figured it out. It was my sdcard. I did everything using the Dave Chappelle method and it fixed it.
Dave Chappelle method:
1- remove sd card. In fact just remove the whole tray.
2- go back to stock, boot it, do whatever you gotta do. There is a thread on how to go back to stock, follow those instructions, its beyond the scope of the Dave Chappelle method.
3- go to bootloader with vol+pwr held
get your copypartitions.zip, your rom.zip, and twrp.img and twrp.zip in a folder. I like sybers twrp mod but whatever use official doesnt matter.
fastboot boot twrp
wait 3 seconds
adb push copypartitions.zip /tmp/
go to twrp install and go up a level, click copypartitions.zip, and install it. /tmp/ is memory, our phone has enough ram to do this.
adb shell
cd /tmp/
rm copypartitions.zip
# you dont have to do above, but we dont want too much stuff in memory, rebooting SHOULD clear memory, but I havent used android extensively they may have windows hibernate thing or whatever.
exit
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
adb push rom.zip /tmp/
go to twrp install and go up a level, click rom.zip, and install it. /tmp/ is memory, our phone has enough ram to do this.
adb shell
cd /tmp/
rm rom.zip
exit
adb push twrp.zip /tmp/
go to twrp install and go up a level, click twrp.zip, and install it. /tmp/ is memory, our phone has enough ram to do this.
adb shell
cd /tmp/
rm twrp.zip
exit
twrp select reboot bootloader
wait a tic
fastboot erase userdata
select recovery and boot
alright so at this point I am good because I dont want gapps or magisk I am done. I would boot a modified boot partition once a month and install adaware hosts modifications, then reboot. I dont want to be walking around with root or google proprietary code. I would then select reboot, make sure slotb is selected, and reboot system.
If you want gapps, then you flash your gapps at this point. I discourage you from doing so and encourage microg for google maps or whatever google service you actually need. I also discourage the idea of walking around with "hot" root. Where you can grant an application root at any time. It is trivial to write an application that modifies what the screen is displaying to trick you into accidentally granting root permissions.
Great guide! We really needed one. Btw you don't necessarily need a SD card to install zips, you can install them directly from your computer by sideloading them with adb on twrp. You can do that by going into twrp, then to Advanced and press on ADB Sideload, now on adb type in: "adb sideload thezipyouwanttoinstall.zip" and twrp will start installing that zip.

Hi guys. If you can't install ROMs, this is your place to ask. Please be detailed, mention: ROM, build, your variant and firmware version. And tell us your specific issue.
Here's a guide on how to do it, and I'll link you to the files needed for the procedure:
1. If you're using a Google account, remove it in Settings > Accounts and factory reset. Else, skip this step.
2. Unlock your bootloader following Motorola's instructions. Google it, it'll be easy to find and follow.
3. Download:
. Fastboot tools/Minimal ADB & Fastboot or your prefered fastboot program for PC.
. A firmware image for your variant
. ROM you want to install
. GApps (optional): http://opengapps.org/
. Magisk (optional): https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
And the next files:
TWRP (img) & TWRP installer (zip): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299042
copypartitions.zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiry9UfP2tf-5A6nQBF7pn2t2eSGKt0F/view
You'll need an SD card to store the files needed for installing the ROM, since internal storage won't be usable temporarily.
4. Hold power + volume down until you reach bootloader (fastboot mode).
In your extracted firmware folder open a terminal and flash your firmware files with these commands:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't worry if any error message appears.
5. Place TWRP .img file into your fastboot folder, and do "fastboot boot TWRP.img" - replace TWRP with file's real name, but it should be the IMG file's name, not the zip file's name. With TWRP booted, now check if the screen actually responds. If it doesn't, just turn your phone off, get into fastboot mode again, and boot TWRP until it works.
6. With that solved, now just copy copypartitions.zip to your sdcard (called external_sd in your phone) and install it. Also copy to your external_sd, just to save time, your ROM and TWRP's installer. And Magisk or GApps if you'll need them.
7. Reboot to bootloader, and do "fastboot -w".
8. "fastboot boot" TWRP again, flash ROM, and flash TWRP's installer (zip file). Boot system.
9. Reboot to bootloader, select recovery mode and flash Magisk/GApps if you need them.
10. Reboot to system, and enjoy
Any questions, feel free to ask 'em in the comments. Hope it works!
P.S.: OmniROM has its own recovery (TWRP is a recovery). So, keep that in mind and don't flash TWRP's zip in Omni if you want it to boot.
Also, if you want, you can try OrangeFOX. It's a cute TWRP replacement that has some interesting features. Worth checking out.

@BETA215, I see some folks mentioning bootloops. I personally had many many bootloops before I found out that TWRP/ ROM flashing on this device does not play nice with exFAT filesystem. maybe a note about that in the OP? formatting my SDcard to VFAT resolved all my issues, when it was ExFAT I couldn't get anything past the boot logo
I've just spent the past 10 days trying to root my phone and use a custom ROM working (and detecting SIM card and most important functions). But it's always problem after problem after problem and at this point, I'm ready to give up. I feel broken. I'm at the point where I'd literally pay someone to take control and do it for me. I just can't do it no matter how much I learn, always a new problem and now I'm stuck at this one and I just can't take it anymore. Swear to god, I will pay .

SIM Card issue and no gapps?
Hi,
I installed Havoc OS on my moto g7 power XT1955-5, using these steps:
1) Switched off device
2) Volume down+Power to go in bootloader
3) CMD: fastboot erase userdata (maybe useless)
4) CMD: fastboot boot "C:\...\twrp.img" (or orangefox.img)
5) On Slot B mount "system" then wipe and format (maybe useless)
6) On Slot A mount "system" then wipe and format
7) Flash copy-partition-AB.zip
8) Flash Havoc ROM
9) Reboot -> Recovery
10) Flash GApps
11) Reboot -> Bootloader
13) CMD: fastboot erase userdata
14) CMD: fastboot reboot
(from time to time the message: failed to mount /data (invalid argument) popped up, and I don't know why)
However, havoc installed. I don't think Gapps installed though, because all I see in the os that is google related is a searchbar for apps only, gallery go, and the file manager. I used the "arm, 9.0, nano" options from the Gapps website, but when I flashed it, it said no changes were made. Did Gapps flash properly? If it didn't, how do you flash it properly? (I would expect the google play store to be in there somewhere, perhaps I need to get a heavier Gapps than nano?)
More importantly though, the OS says there is no sim card. I am on T-mobile, and calling and texting worked when I used lineage OS.
Does anyone have any advice of how to fix any of these issues? Again, my end goal is to have havoc os with the play store, and have the sim card working to make calls and texts.
Thank you one million to who ever can answer this.

If you have converted to international for all intents and purposes you now have a GSM1917 international. You can install Derpfest and all the other "regular roms". If you do the "manual method" where you flash each partition you should be good to go.

Would it be possible for you to link me to the source of that TWRP build? I would like to get it on my phone.
Also, that would allow me to build a flashable zip of this firmware.

I found nebrassy's twrp image, but it still does not support decryption.
Also, when I booted to it, it messed up my entire system. The phone was no longer able to boot to android and when I reflashed my boot image it started crashing on boot.
I am looking into how to get this working properly.

If you didn't find the post where he specifically says "here is the fbev2 version" then you didn't install the right one. He has SEVERAL versions of twrp.

i assumed that the filename "TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-FBEv2-Nebrassy" indicated it was FBEv2 xD

See previous file link since the -3 in it means you might have an older version.

Both Derpfest and Yaap work well with fbev2 and are Android 11 based on AOSP. I'm sorry that happened to you. In future you should use "Fastboot BOOT twrp.img" to boot recovery without replacing the existing recovery...then if it didn't work all you'd need to do if force the phone to power off via holding down vol up and power for several seconds. Still not sure how you soft bricked because I tried installing it in recovery on a non compatible rom and all it did was startup and show available storage as 0. It showed no files...once i upgraded the rom then it worked fine.
If you pay attention to with slot you are booting to and flashing to ,it will help out slot. This will always leave you a option to repair. By just switching to the opposite slot to boot to recovery. If you don't know the command then you should really learn fastboot --help. It's all the same as Python.
Hi, do you have the 11.0.1.3 update as well ? I can't install it through OTA, installation keeps failing for whatever reason...

I have the extracted payload, but im not sure if it's actually usable on the GM1915. I can upload it if you need it, but there are several partitions you cant flash and the system image is not in the proper sparse format.

Question Flashing GSI LineageOS

Now that I have my IMEI numbers restored, I am going to again attempt to flash LineageOS over my stock Android 9.
Let's say I want the latest revision of LineageOS 18, I understand that this is the required system image;
lineage-18.1-20220616-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS-vndklite.img.xz
I also know a vbmeta file is required. This is where I get confused and suspect it's the reason I always get bootloop when flashing.
Do I need a stock vbmeta, a modified vbmeta or a blank vbmeta? I have quite the collection.
Also do I add flags;
--disable-verity
and / or
--disable-verification
Now last, but not least, is my sequence of flashing correct?
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I appreciate your time and help.
probably stock vbmeta will work, or get the one in TWRP page for Nokia 2.2
