Where can I find TWRP .img file for Pixel running Oreo? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I recently updated my Google Pixel to Android O and, as expected, lost root. Now I'm trying to reinstall TWRP but the directions I have are to `fastboot flash twrp<version stuff>.img` and I can't find any `.img` files for recent TWRP versions (e.g., 3.1.0). What am I missing?

Yes, I saw that thread. I see nothing in it or linked to it like `twrp-3.0.2-0-alpha2-fastboot-sailfish.img` with a newer version. I may misunderstand but `twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img` seems to be something I can boot into temporarily, not something I can flash.
It's not clear to me why https://dl.twrp.me/sailfish/ stops having `.img` and starts having `.zip` last November. The `.zip` files don't seem to contain the `.img` plus more.

Enough of the talk, you can download the image file from here:

Is that not something I can boot into temporarily but not flash? The form of the name is very different from what I'm used to.

You can only boot TWRP temporarily in Android O.... There isn't a flashlight version yet....

Just a few minutes ago,i got the latest OOS 5.1.11.The change logs are
System
1.Optimized network connection
2.Optimized stability for wi-fi connection
3.Fixed screen flickering issue in day light
4.General bug fixes and improvements
5.confirm pin without tapping
Camera
Improved HDR mode
Any thoughts about the improved HDR mode? Didn't receive the update yet (Germany) but would be nice if someone could do before/after photos.
I also get that update.
If i download it.. can i just not update right away?
because i want to manually update from twrp and re root with magisk.
Thanks in advance

Root users beware: issues with newer TWRP version!
This article only applies to users running TWRP recovery on a rooted device. Don't have TWRP or don't know what this means? You're probably fine.
If you've recently installed or updated TWRP recovery, you might have faced that you can't install anything with it, and that the start screen is immediately shown when updating your device via Oxygen Updater.
Why is this happening to me?
From what it seems, this issue is caused by TWRP versions 3.2.2-0 and 3.2.3-0 being incompatible with the storage encryption technology present on OnePlus devices.
Normally, you're asked to enter your PIN or unlock pattern before installing an update / flashing something yourself. However, these new TWRP versions don't prompt for it anymore. Therefore, accessing the storage space of your device is no longer possible.
This is really frustrating, as almost all of your updates / .zip files are stored there. But luckily, there is a solution:
How do I fix this issue?
First of all, if you don't have encryption turned on or are not facing this issue, do not proceed with the steps below since flashing a new version of TWRP can be risky.
Now for the the solution: it involves downgrading TWRP to an earlier version, in which installing updates still worked correctly.
The downgrade can be done either by using a computer with the fastboot command, or by using flashing apps such as the Official TWRP app or Flashify on your device itself.
These are the steps you'll need to do:
- Make sure to download TWRP version 3.2.1-1 for your specific device. This is the version which worked fine, and is still fairly recent.
- Flash the version of TWRP using your method of choice. For fastboot users, connect your device to your computer in Fastboot mode and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-<yourdevice>.img. When using any of the flashing apps, browse to the correct TWRP.img file and flash it.
- Reboot your device. You'll now be able to access the working version of TWRP
- Do not update your TWRP version until it has been confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Thanks to Peter Aarnoutse for reporting this issue.
So since twrp latest works fine on my device with encryption included, I can just start the update?

Didn't disable my pattern lock..worked just fine.
I downloaded the zip online and installed through TWRP. Just make sure to reinstall your TWRP installer after installing the full rom OTA (wipe cache/dalvik first), then reboot back into TWRP and install Magisk..then boot into system.

Mine is supposed to arrive today. I am hoping that root will be as simple as unlocking the bootloader, patching stock boot.img and flashing. I suspect that it'll be a while before we have a custom recovery though.

Doing this would be extremely unwise without a copy of the stock boot image. I would advise you to wait till the factory images come out. Which should be soon. If you bootloop, highly likely, you will have a unusable phone until the factory images get posted.
Well considering that I would need a copy of the stock boot.img to accomplish this process it seems like we are in arguegreement. [emoji6]

Has anyone unlocked the bootloader? That's all I care about (for now). Is it the same process as the Pixel 2 XL? I'm just curious if anything has changed with Titan being a part of the hardware now.

Your phone comes with a boot image.
You can patch the boot image with Magisk Manager. Which saves a copy of the patched boot image on your device. Then it needs too be transferred to a PC to be flashed in fastboot. My advice is still relevant. As soon as I have factory images, I will try and root.
I have mine. I'm willing to test whatever/whenever it's safe to do so.
I did enable the "OEM Unlocking" in the developer settings. It didn't come with a USB-C to USB -A cable, so I cannot connect it to a PC anyway.
I have phone in hand.
I would love to test, once the root situation has been figured out. Links to how to get phone rooted appreciated (I'm already aware of how to root it via Magisk (once factory image or standalone boot.img is released), and how to root via TWRP (once TWRP is released)).

There is no "standalone" boot image yet. It comes with factory image. Which should be out soon. The boot image is in your device. You can patch the boot image with Magisk Manager or sideload the Magisk zip. I would not do either of those until you have the factory image. If you bootloop, your device will be useless without factory images

To which boot image are you referring:

No 2 the boot image in the device. Unlock bootloader.
Download Magisk Manager apk. Im about ready to unlock mine right now. In Magisk Manager select patch boot image file. It will save a copy to your device. Transfer to PC.
Fastboot flash boot image. You will bootloop im sure. AVB has changed with crosshatch.
DO NOT attempt this without factory image.
I will be doing this when factory image comes out.

Just "unlock" the other one is not valid for this one. Sorry, I should have mentioned that!
My apologies gentlemen. You do need a separate copy of the the boot image from the factory image to patch in Magisk Manager. Sorry for the wrong info. Actually it makes sense doesn't it.

I got my Pixel 3XL last night. Excited to get things going on the Pixel 3XL, coming from a Nexus 6P.
I was sad that the factory image isn't immediately available on google's site for this phone, and I don't want to brick it trying to install Magisk without a factory image to fall back onto.
In any case, woot, woot! Phone looks great and I'm going to transfer over my line today.

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.

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.

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

[Guide] TWRP with Magisk on 10.0.4.0 Stock ROM

GSI IS DONE CHECK THE LINK BELOW, IT'S CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS BELOW IS THE STATUS ME WORKING ON IT
THE GSI PIE TUTORIAL
Grab these two files (Big Thanks to @Zerovoid from 4PDA, @Seryioo, and @mac12m99)
Fixed SDCard Support TWRP Image File (Download this and put this on your SDCard and Computer)-
Original Fixed TWRP XDA Post
Fixed SDCard Support TWRP Installer Zip (Download and put this on your SDCard)-
Fixed TWRP .zip Installer
But I got TWRP on 10.0.4.0 with magisk, and Justice Kernel.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE I'M DEFINITELY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST DATA, SD CARDS, ETC
Start with the phone being on with USB Debugging enabled correctly and bootloader unlocked
Type: adb reboot bootloader
So flash the 10.0.4.0 ROM through MiFlash using the flash_all.bat, this process has to be done so backup your data before erasing.
After it is done flashing it restarts, go ahead and hold power and volume down right back to the Bootloader
Type: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy_zero.img
It would boot into TWRP, if you see something about decryption hit cancel this may mean you haven't followed directions so far
Tap install and find your SD Card, find the fixed-twrp-installer-daisy.zip where ever you put it on your SD Card and install it, this process takes a few minutes when finished DO NOT HIT REBOOT SYSTEM!
Hit the home button back to TWRP home screen and tap reboot >>> bootloader
Download this to your computer -
aboot.img
Type: fastboot flash aboot aboot_9.6.4.img
Then type: fastboot reboot
Afterwards your phone shall boot up to Android if it does hold power and volume up and release power and keep hold volume up when the screen turns back on to go-to recovery, if TWRP boots up you have successfully completed the task.
Now flash Magisk zip (optional)
Hopefully this helped kind of my first tutorial, this was my process.

You have to extract the file using WinZip, it's just like a .zip file. But after you extract the stock rom there should be another file in that extract that too and select the folder extracted folder with all of the .img in it in MiFlash.
You must have the Pie ROM to do this
Please make sure you have the latest ROM or latest patch from this link https://en.miui.com/getrom-354.html?

Yes, successfully rooted this way. I didn't play around with any of the betas so this was my first time to just dirty flash right over 10. I patched my own boot.img like usual and transferred it over to my adb folder before flashing. Since you're using MM Canary already, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe your patched boot.img is corrupt? Did you flash the full image or OTA? Next step for me (after creating a new patched boot.img) would be to clean flash the full image. Best of luck.
do you have a link to the canary apk?
I tried going to the canary page, but the download link is dead. TIA

Yes, successfully rooted this way. I didn't play around with any of the betas so this was my first time to just dirty flash right over 10. I patched my own boot.img like usual and transferred it over to my adb folder before flashing. Since you're using MM Canary already, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe your patched boot.img is corrupt?

Also to add - Magisk Canary outputted a 4MB Boot Image which was wrong - Correctly patched it should be 32.55 MB roughly.
Make sure you pay attention that the boot.img has been patched properly.
I had trouble rooting but eventually got it to work. I deleted all previous boot images and patched images from phone and pc. Reinstalled platform tools. Grabbed fresh boot img from the factory image, patched it then flashed it. And we're in biz
