Help installing roms with gapps. - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I can install ROMs that come with gapps. However, any rom that doesn't include gapps I just can't manage to get working. It always hangs at the Google screen and there isn't even a boot animation from the rom. If someone could give me step by step directions using an example rom and starting from a factory image it would really help.

I even watched a paranoid Android installation tutorial for my pixel and it didn't work. I followed the directions to a point. IDK if it has to do with incorrect bootloader version or twrp or something else. Please help!

It depends on what Android version you are, but if your build it's after April, you have to sign your boot.img, there is a script that you have to run in TWRP before boot your phone. Also you have to perform a "format" in your phone using TWRP.
I've installed Paranoid on my Pixel, but using Android 7.2.1 from April's release.
Cheers.

Thanks. I thought I only had to flash that on the may bootloader. So when do I flash the verified boot signer? Do I flash it after I flash the room or after gapps or both?

Downgrading from Android O DP2 to 7.1.2 no TWRP

I was enrolled in the Android O Beta Program and followed these steps but can't get TWRP to boot:
• Un-enroll from O beta
• Take OTA to downgrade to 7.1.2 N2G470
• Set up system (dev. options, enable USB debugging, etc.)
• fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1.img
• Boots in to TWRP but doesn't go passed splash screen (after waiting more than 30 minutes)
Not sure if I have to re-flash nougat bootloader, radio and img. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
It's a known issue with TWRP with way O repartitions your phone even after downgrade. You'll have to wait for an update to be released to accommodate the changes in partition structure.
You'll have to flash the factory images from April or May to both slot before it will work again properly

This is correct.. all you need to do is flash the factory images to BOTH slots and you'll be good to go.. I went through this issue myself and once I did this, everything is back to normal

I've tried multiple times to get this booted to both slots and can't seem to get it right. Can you provide steps how to flash to both slots?
I use the unified android toolkit. I'm just learning all of this myself but I know there's a guide on here somewhere that can explain it better than my self. I believe it involved getting the factory image and removing the -w from the flashall file. I'm sorry I cant be of more help!!

In my experience if you flash the factory images twice it's flashes to both slots
Finally got the image flashed to both slots. Now for some reason I always get a bootloop after flashing the twrp installer. fml

On the May update?
You need to install the zip from inside twrp that is in the first post of the thread below. Need to do that when you root, twrp or change kernels.
So fastboot boot to twrp again and adb push the zip to the phone and install it.

Yup, I was on the may update, had no idea they changed anything up in May. What I did was reboot the system, download the twrp zip, fast boot back to twrp and flash the zip, resulted in boot loop. I'll try flashing the verified bootsigner later and if that doesn't work, I'll try rolling back to April.
Flashing the bootsigner did the trick. Thanks for all the help!
enrolled android beta program for almost a day, battery consumes very much.
Now flashing the full May image, but after finishing flash, the phone can't boot into system.
It persisted in four turning dots for almost half an hour.
Tried to re-flash the may image, it did no help.
What should I do, mate?

Sorry man, I've been away from my computer for a couple days. Glad to see you got it figured out. What worked for me was booting into twrp from fastboot, flashing the twrp zip, flashing the latest bootsigner zip from CF, reboot recovery then following the steps to flash PA + gapps that I had downloaded previously.:good:

[XT1575] TWRP Recovery Image for Stock MXP 7.0 Nougat NPH25.200-22

Stock Android 7.0 (Nougat) for the Moto X Pure 2015 XT1575 US NPH25.200-22
TWRP Recovery Image (Includes /boot and /system only)
**Factory reset after restore is advised.**
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2lKWOIH0bTqc29NbVNWWWhsYVE?usp=sharing

I did an incremental OTA upgrade from stock 6.0 MPH24.49-18-8.
Use at your own risk. If you have TWRP installed your warranty is void anyway. I'm not responsible for bricking your device.

No Nougat modem is available until the flashable (non OTA) full stock 7.0 rom is made available from Motorola. This is not likely to happen. No issues have been mentioned running this update on a 6.0 modem. Not sure what the advantages are honestly. I never had problems with bt, wifi, or calls with the 6.0 modem firmware.
Create a backup beforehand and you can always go back to it.

I get "invalid ZIP file format" using TWRP 3.1.1-0 on an XT1575. Was running lineageOS 14.1 but I wiped system and data before trying to install the zip. On my laptop I can open the ZIP fine and extract the files, but that doesn't help.

See this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-xt1575-update-to-nph25-200-22-t3680477
The OP will need to comment - he may be coming from a rooted stock ; at least according the the thread noted above - if you have installed a custom ROM ; there are other steps besides just trying to flash this
I have NOT tried the OP's method or the referenced thread - so I cannot really speak from experience ; just pointing out other resources that have additional information -
Will this work with XT1572? Just confirming.
This is not a traditional TWRP zip file. It is a backup file. You need to unzip it and put it in the backup directory. You then restore backup, choose the nph25-200-22. . . directory, and away you go!

Well it worked, sort of. It booted to stock but it wasn't stable and the play store kept crashing, I tried all the usual stuff for that, clear services & play store data, uninstall updates, finally tried a factory reset and now I'm stuck in TWRP bootloop, even if I reinstall this image.
So very much YMMV.

No OS installed in TWRP

Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.
Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.
Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.
Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

About fastboot dont be afraid, go under twrp reboot section and reboot to bootloader. Then go under xda op6 guide section and search for mirrors for fastboot rom guide by Mauronofrio. He pushed my ass out the **** a lot of time.

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

I talked with Mauronofrio in pm and he said me that you could solve your issue simply flash the ROM you want and format data after flash that one. Remember that your internal will be wiped but it would happen in any scenario we talked.

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

I followed that thread for the first A10 release cause there wasn't a worked twrp yet. You are welcome man, when I feel myself usefull I always try to help.

Rooted. Now wifi doesn't work. Neither do speakers.

I rooted following Maxwell's tutorial (OnePlus 7 Pro - How to Unlock the Bootloader, Install TWRP, and Root with Magisk
).
Now that all is said and done, and my phone is rooted, I noticed that:
1) The wifi does not work. It will not let me enable wifi. Just keeps switching back to off.
2) The speakers don't work.
I need to know how to fix it. What do I do?
I am new to android so I am not sure the steps needed to fix this botched install/operating system/root whatever

yes you will need to upgrade, there was no 9.5.1 full zip released for us to have patched the boot.img. So update and then patch the correct OS and Model version you update to. Let us know if you have any other issues.
I swear nobody reads the threads before starting. Your wifi is disabled because your rooted boot image does not match the version you should have.
Just flash one of the kernels in the roms section, I'm using ElementalX 1.10, wifi will come back up.

Okay. That was it (flashing the wrong boot.img) It's working now - I upgraded to latest OS. Downloaded correct boot.img. Redid the root process with correct files this time, and it worked. Wifi is good. Speakers are good. Everything is good. Thanks for the help. Also, I removed any criticism of the tutorial creators in my post since it turns out I was the idiot. I'm brand new to android though so go easy on me.

I didn't read the post until after I encountered errors. I was going off of the video. One problem I had was that the video assumed I had a basic knowledge of some steps, so they didn't mention them. I did not have this knowledge since I am brand new to android. Anyways. I was able to fix these errors via the steps discussed in earlier comments. Everything is working now. I removed any criticism of the tutorial creators from this post since it turns out I'm the idiot.
Glad you got it working
Why are people even flashing boot images? Just unlock bootloader, boot twrp from fastboot, flash twrp, flash magisk, all done.

BC that is just an extra step not really needed, I haven't even flashed twrp on my device yet, if I need it I will just boot to it, it's so much easier doing this.
I always thought the same thing u did, until I just flashed the patched boot and updating is so much easier too.

Because I'm just following along with the tutorial xda put on YouTube and that's what they say to do

My MIX 3 stuck in bootloop with any custom ROM but MIUI ones

Hi. For some reason, I'm not able to make my phone working with any custom ROM but MIUI ones. I tried the guides about flashing the 9.5.9 first, flashing the firmware but still, every time I flash a custom ROM (with flash result 1 in TWRP) and I reboot into the system, the phone keeps rebooting quickly after displaying only the MI logo. Apparently it shows that there isn't a valid firmware installed, but I followed the guides with no success. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello try to install magisk after installing the rom it worked for me so i hope it does for you as well but don't reboot literally flash the rom when it's done flash magisk and i think it should do it
Format data after flash, not just wipe

Ok, I'll do it when I'll try to install a custom ROM again; I can't keep trying formatting my data and then returning back to MIUI I need to be sure it will work!

Did it! The process I did was:
Boot on TWRP and format data
reboot TWRP
Wipe cache, dalvik, data and System
Flash FW, ROM, GAPPS

Hmm, unofficial twrp 3315 by mauronofrio?
Which device variant do you have, china or global? And device code name are perseus(4g)?
I suggest make a clean flash (without relock) with miflashtool, then install any new EU rom, after that try flash RR, with these step nothing could go wrong.

Yes, It should be the 3.3.1.5 by mauronofrio; my Mi MIX 3 is the global version and right now I'm using the MIUI 11 9.10.10. What version of MIUI should I install using miflashtool? Thanks!
I cannot get data decryption with Android Q on any of the twrp builds.

Try last global beta 9.6.27, its the most stable with new feature, even better than global stable.
Then install any eu miui10 rom newer than 9.6.27, after that install custom rom.
Remember to boot up after each install, not necessary to complete set up, just boot up to welcome screen.
you saved my life

Even though the thread is quite old I have exactly the same problem with no suggestion here in the forums working to fix it
Can anybody please help me getting this figured out. My goal is to install the Pixel experience Rom for perseus (non 5g) posted here.
You MUST FORMAT data partition when you install anything from stock roms. It should boot after you format, and I'm not saying with the rm -rf option in settings if you have TWRP. It must be a full format of data. I know some of the older ROMs used to take many minutes to boot the first time (like up to 10). I am not actively developing for android after they turned on the hardware backed verity states and broke Google Pay with unlocked bootloader, I left android.
