Couldn't install system update (november security patch) - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I have just received the OTA and it is failing to install...
Anybody else facing this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
I have my Pixel 2 rooted right now, not sure if this can affect OTA?

What is the easiest way around it then? Do i have to download the factory image and flash it losing everything i have configured? Or is there another way?

I'm in the same boat...dies at step 1. Look familiar?

Only I didn't lose root, as I re-installed Magisk before rebooting.

That happened the first time I tried to root. Had to flash the factory image and start over. Guess I could do that...but seems there has to be an easier way. I'm really curious why the method in that guide doesn't work for me.

Does flashfire work to install the OTA?

Download the full factory image. Open the flash all bat file with notepad and edit out the -w and save it. Then run it. That will flash the full factory image but leave apps and data in place.
Then you reroot it.

Thanks. When I re-root, do I need to do the whole patch boot image process again? Or should I reuse the patched_boot.img that I used when I rooted the first time?

Thank you. One last question: when I rooted, I used the snoke kernel and pointed to that .img file when patching the boot image (no reason, other than that's what everyone seemed to be using when root first happened). It sounds like this time, I should get the full factory image, extract, grab the boot.img from within that and patch THAT to be up to date. Correct?

Correct, you can use whatever boot IMG you want. Snoke may be updated to November... don't know...bit if it is and you like it use it.

Waiting for answers. I finally succeeded with rooting my xiaomi mi a2 lite, everything works perfect, I was so excited to install Xposed but then my phone started to lag AF. I uninstalled it and then the update show up in the notification bar, great but "couldn't install system update". Is it because of the root or TWRP?

[H918][STOCK] 10i KDZ + IMGs

10i for T-Mobile V20 H918 is out.
It's still anti-rollback v00. :good:
Android Security Patch: 2016-12-01 (dirtycow/recowvery patched)
Download Link
UPPERCUT should work if using LGUP/KDZ.
If you flash this KDZ there is no current root method for 10i... so no TWRP etc (at this very moment anyway).
Everyone who can only boot to download mode.. this should save you.
those w/TWRP already can use the images (or wait for someone to make a flashable "rom" zip.
H91810-system.img.zip is just the system.img compressed, not a flashable zip.
if flashing the stock system.img/boot.img be careful not to lose TWRP..
delete the "recovery-from-boot.p" in system while still in TWRP if you want to be extra safe.
I don't have a V20 and won't be supporting this thread. Just providing files.
Thanks for this. Wonder what the changes from v10d are (other the exploit patch)
If and when someone creates a flashable zip, can we flash SuperSU after we flash the ROM to still have root?
Great.. My replacement is coming today which means it'll probably self update on first boot before I can do anything about it..
I love you daddi
Is this also OTA? I see nothing

yes, that's how it works. tho.. idk if it's user-error or what... sometimes people flash supersu and it doesn't patch the boot.img and when they boot into android they lose twrp. hasn't happened to me but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . so that's why I also suggested removing the recovery-from-boot.p as an option.
people could also just dd the images manually if they don't want to wait for a zip... but I guess those comfortable with dd already know that.

What I usually do is make a twrp back up from my old phone and restore it on the new phone after making a fake backup and moving the old one in the new folder the fake backup created. Theoretically this should restore my google account without ever having to initially setup my account when I turn on the new phone. Right? Or do you think it'll cause authentication issues?

If you really want this, just use the LG Bridge and update it through that. It's much easier than flashing manually and accomplishes the same thing.

You don't need the file at all. Just download the LG Bridge from the LG website, install the LG Universal mobile drivers, plug in your phone and use the software update option. It does it all by itself, and will restart your phone on it's own.

Do i need to be back factory stock including recovery to use this option? And I'm guessing this way would make me lose root? Thank you for your responses.

You only need to plug in your phone and let it work. Since this is a stock image, you will lose root. Also, the as described in the original post on page 1, the December security patch also patches the dirty cow exploit used to achieve root, so once you flash this, you'll be stock unrooted until a new method comes along.

You need to be on firmware B182+ (which you are)
You need to have twrp 3.1.0+
You need to flash stock boot image before Magisk.
You can get stock boot either from rom zip (boot.img) or stock firmware (update.app) and extract boot using Huawei Update extractor. Then flash boot image manually.

Can't flash anything in TWRP

Hello everyone,
So today, I decided to flash the Adaptive Brightness Mod.
So what I did, I booted into newest TWRP, I flashed Adaptive Brightness Mod. Hitted reboot.
It didn't boot, so what I did is I flashed DP3 again. The system booted, so I thought "Yea **** that mod".
So I booted into TWRP again and tried to root again using magisk. I got again in a boot loop.
Does anyone have a solution? I really want to have root access.
Friendly regards,
Crewz

Wouldn't that be already backed up in the launcher data?
You shouldn't be that mad because of your homescreen set-up getting wiped! Yesterday I ****ed up encryption after trying to go back to Oxygen OS 5.1.11 from Havoc OS (which has August Security Patch), I couldn't boot the device up and TWRP and all my files were encrypted. After hours of trying and flashing, I had no other choice than formatting all my data. Including internal storage. And because I'm dumb, I didn't do a back up of my data for 3 month, so now I have 3 month old data on my phone.
So don't care about your homescreen set-up, as long as you have your pictures/music/data on the phone.
Btw, I'm not sure if I have a solution for you, but can you explain what exactly is the issue now? So you can boot up in the system without magisk installed but with it, you can't?

You can't flash Magisk 16.7 from TWRP. It causes issues more times then not. You need to flash TWRP 16.4 (1642) then let the Magisk manager update to 16.7.
Magisk 16.7 will often give you an error on boot which looks like a vendor mismatch message. I stick with 16.4.
the reason it fails only with root is because the mod he installed is still installed. It only turns on when you have root. remove mod and problem fixed. also, reflashing rom does not remove magisk mods. only uninstalling mod will fix this or a full format.
the mod lives in /data.

Have to re-root using the Magisk method. Put stock boot on phone, patch boot with Magisk, put modded boot back on computer, and flash in fastboot. AFAIK, there is no way to retain root. Every time you flash the latest monthly patch, it flashes a new stock boot. Therefore, no root.

There's a way with taking the ota through settings I found out how from a user on here which is:
Once received the ota , go to magisk first uninstall/restore images then download/install ota then DONT REBOOT, go back to magisk install magisk to inactive slot from the app then reboot and all should work with new ota update and have root still.
What is this update 4.3mb
Once again, my phone got bricked. I wanted to sideload, so I tried to get it into recovery, it wouldn't, so I tried a few times, and decided screw it. Now my phone bootloops. So, download the image and try flashing, it won't go into fastboot and fails. No matter what I do, I can't seem to save it. Can anyone help me with this? I'm trying a different computer in a sec, but, not sure if that will work either.

You missed the part where I did try flashing the image. I've done this a hundred times, so, I did it right.
Anyway, I got it. I didn't realize my work computer had a USB-C port, so, I grabbed one and tried flashing the image with that. Worked! Thank God... I guess sdk tools doesn't like a USB 1 to C cable, and my phone doesn't like going into recovery...

If you are rooted flash the boot.img of the factory image you are currently on to both slots:
Code:
fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img
Then Do #4 'keep Data'

I am starting to feel more and more like a lot of the bootloop issues are being caused by OTAs swapping slots on install. Besides the --slot all patched boot, it might help to run the OTA twice to get it to install to both slots completely. Preferably though, quit using OTAs and work with -w removed flash-all installer (and even then possibly installing to both slots with an active slot swap in between and before rooting). The double install is common when installing custom ROMs, and the process for OTA sideloads is pretty similar.
Performance improvement, feels smooth and responsive. Glad i dont need to root this phone, ppl are having so many problems.

Its just a security patch, we already had the updated rom in september, this just adds the latest security patch. Even though its only 4.3mb, its taking ages to patch, 10 mins still installing.

My download was 1.3 gb and took forever to install. That's more than just the security patch.. Build number is different too.

Worked exactly the same as the 10 and .C3 builds for me. Flash-all (minus -w) and patched boot in Magisk. No issues. It was not just security this month. See the functional patches in the bulletin.

If you are rooted and/or have TWRP installed, then you need to restore the stock boot and/or recovery images before starting the update.
Then I will lose root access?
Not if you do it properly.
If you're using TWRP, then you'll have to restore the stock recovery.
If you're rooted then you can restore the stock boot using Magisk>Uninstall Magisk>Restore images but don't reboot or you'll lose root.
Then download and install the incremental update manually. Then install Magisk to the inactive slot and reboot.

1) Update software but DO NOT REBOOT
2) Open Magisk > tap install > tap Install to inactive slot > NOW reboot.
Make sure you disable any and all modules first. No need to uninstall, just disable them. Mainly just a precaution. Possibly remove security from the lockscreen too for good measure.
I lost root the other day actually forgetting to properly install Magisk before rebooting and now I have to buy a laptop just to root again.

Thanks @BillGoss, your instructions are perfect. Work like a charm.
Anyone have the stock firmware or stock image for 11.0.12.12.KB05AA? Trying to root it.

Use TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-rooting-oos-with-twrp.4327417/
since i did it manually and ended up with no boot.img backup from magisk, i had to manually extract boot.img from my last ota 11.0.11.11.KB05AA and reflash it through fastboot. then it let me update and i rerooted.
I get the notification but can't even try it because when i tap on it, it does nothing.

I managed to install the update, I used oxygen updater to download the update, used restore images option in magisk, installed update (DID NOT REBOOT), used install to inactive slot in magisk, then rebooted.
Seems like it all went well.

Do I have root and twrp, what should I restore? Only recovery? If so, you have maybe some stock for 11.0.11.11 kb05ba? I don't know why, but I only have a copy of the boot.

Use payload dumper to get a copy of the .11 recovery.

What don't you understand in post #5? You said you're rooted. So post #5 tells you what to do.

Sorry Bill, I get it all now. I just have to do as You wrote:
1) restore the stock boot using Magisk>Uninstall Magisk>Restore images but don't reboot or you'll lose root
2) install update manually, System update>Gear icon (local upgrade)
3) install Magisk to the inactive slot and reboot
Last question, where or how to download update manually?

Ah, well that's tricky if it's not available from OnePlus or the XDA rom thread. I believe Oxygen updater app will give you the rom also, but I've never used it.
Edit: just read your post again and I'm confused: what rom exactly are you looking for?
This thread is about ending up on 11.0.12.12.KB05AA
And if you're looking for that one you'll find it in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updates-thread.4188149/post-86165983
