ZRam dump after flashing in twrp - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I keep getting a zram dump pop up that can never got before after flashing in twrp. Does anyone else have this issue? It turns into a boot loop when flashing arise sound mod and sometimes after flashing ROMs. It boot loops between the Google splash and the zram dump screen. Man this is annoying Any help would be highly appreciated!

I did a complete clean flash with a factory image wiping everything, and reinstalled twrp. That stopped it for me.

What process did you use when doing the complete factory flash?

And did you flash the 7.1.2 factory image or 7.1.1?

If you bought your pixel from google and NOT from verizon, flash the 7.1.2 factory image, then boot twrp RC1 and flash RC2

I used a computer and used flash all to flash 7.1.2, before I did that I backed up all the stuff I on my phone I didn't want to lose like pics.

Thank you I appreciate it going to do this when I get home

Do you have a 32gb or 128gb? I heard if you do this on a 128 gigabyte it messes up the storage

I have the 128GB and never once had an issue. I know with the N6 it happened to it, but I'm not if that happens to our pixels .

GNex stuck in boot loop since 4.3 flash

Few hours before this post I flashed a rooted version of android 4.3 from the thread by "Carlos_Manuel". However, following that the supersu was not working I flashed the supersu binaries over the ROM from TWRP. Since then, it is stuck in boot loop at the Google Logo. Tried flashing PA, Sourcery, CM but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

Fix it by flashing factory images! do a full wipe, you can get imprtant stuff from your Nexus by using adb pull commands!
Users was blaming me when they screwed their Nexus with the root files!
I can successfully even flash old root files and no bootloops but ofc. root wont work if using those old root files.

pulling files then flashing 4.2.2 stock image to start fresh
NyPlaya513 said:
Ok, I am paranoid and want to be sure about this. I am in the same boat as the OP. I have a 32gb toro on twrp 2.5. I am under the impression that flashing the stock images will flash my sdcard partition and I want to pull some files if that is the case. Is there anyway to pull the files or am I stuck and need to start fresh.

You cant use the stock images they are for gsm not toro/cdma, have to use a custom zip only one is that light speed one in development right now I am waiting for muzzys but, full wipe, flash rom, gapps, supersu.

If you tried wiping just cache/dalvik after the flash I dont know there may be another way to get it to boot or not but yeah the factory image will start it over fresh and get you out of it

thanks for your help.. but I ended up flashing factory image of 4.3 which fixed the problem. Also I wnted to ask if you know of any 4.3 kernels that have implemented high performance audio mod. So far I have tried Faux and Hybrid but both dont have it.

full backup and restore of google pixel?

Does anyone know of a successful method of full backup and restore of the Google pixel xl?
If so, how?
I've heard twrp isn't ready and I can't find a way to full nandroid backup either. Some clarification would be most appreciated!

I would flash to rc1 as the beta versions the back ups were not working correctly.
I've restored backups several times and it seemed to go well but the restored rom was killing the battery, not sure why. The phone stayed warm even when off. I didn't spend enough time to see what was going on. Wiping data or a clean reinstall fixed it.
RC 1 been working for me. It's perfect, you don't even need to install TWRP, you can just boot to it via fastboot, backup, reboot and still completely stock. If people are into that.

I'm running rc1 and I have not been able to preform a backup. It tells me that it cannot create the folder to backup... I tried switching boot slots and still can't back up. Is there something I missed?
In TWRP I can't make a back up it says it can't do it, an error message comes up. Will a back up and restore work in flash fire? I know that's from within the ROM I'm just wondering will that work.

I'm guessing it's because you backed up system and vendor instead of system image and vendor image. Use system image and vendor image instead. I've had the same problem if I used system and vendor. Never any problem if I used the other two instead.

I made and restored a backup today using system and vendor images as you suggested and it worked just fine. Thanks again for the help.
I have full backup of stock rooted and Pure Nexus. Works perfectly fine with RC1.

I already did a hard reset, install pure nexus, install 7.1.1 clean and 6.0.1 clean with Nexus Root Toolkit and still not appear all the space, you think that if I ignore I can use more storage than it appears?

probably not, but, it just sounds like the partition is oversized. Not sure how to fix it.
So either install factory image from Google (it makes partitions again AFAIK) or wipe everything in recovery and clean install.
Maybe flashing TOT file will help?

Need help with Nandroid

Hi Guys, I am sorry if I sound ignorant, I am honestly stuck in limbo here and need some assistance...
I was on Freedom OS 2.1 prior to moving to OB3. Before the move, I backed up fully my Freedom OS 2.1. When I flashed OB3, I didn't realize that I didn't have to do full wipe and could just dirty flash OB3. I now want to restore my nandroid backup, but I am running into a problem where it boot loops and when I boot into recovery I don't get to see the pin code unlock to decrypt the phone, therefore can't see my data partition. I was able to get back my partition and reinstall OB3... Please can someone guide me, how to properly restore my nandroid backup, so my data partition doesn't disappear and Freedom OS 2.1 boots up?
Thank you!

Youll have to wipe the phone completely from stock recovery, flash the full 4.7.4 zip and finally flash twrp Image from fastboot then you'll be able to restore your backup.

Thanks for your assistance! I think I missed something somewhere...
I rebooted to stock recovery (on OB3) and wiped the internal storage. Next I tried flash the 4.7.4 zip via adb sideload and after about 10 min recovery screen returned, but I'm still on OB3 after reboot. Please tell me what am I missing. I am not sure how to flash 4.7.4 zip. I will try now to wipe again internal storage, boot into OB3 and copy the 4.7.4 in windows and try to flash it from stock recovery. I read the link you posted and read from post 19 in OP that's downgrading from OB1/2 and I assume OB3 too -- back to OOS 4.7.x is troublesome and WIFI gets lost. I'm hoping that won't be the case where I am simply trying to do a nadroid restore.
Had no idea this is going to be so difficult...

- Wipe everything from stock recovery
- Reboot to fastboot from stock recovery
- Run command fastboot boot twrp.img, then transfer the 4.7.4 over mtp
- Flash 4.7.4 zip
- Reboot
Then let it boot and you can re root after that. Have faith that you are one of the luxjy ones whose WiFi is unaffected and works .

Thanks, man! I appreciate it. I was able to successfully get back to my Freedom OS via nandroid restore. Everything is back to normal aside from few hiccups, like no can't view and download images on telegram app for some reason. Uninstalled reinstalled, just see spinning logo but no images.
Other than that. Thank you!

I ended up going back to OB3. I suggest you do the same. Battery life is much much better and phone feels much snappier. Have you tried any 8.1 ROMs? I always preferred the pure vanilla look, so was wondering which 8.1 ROM is good. Thanks!

I won't go back to an Oreo OOS until audio controls for wired and wireless headphones work. I've tried codename phoenix, liquid remix, AICP and validus. I personally liked validus the most and aicp second.

TWRP issues

I've downloaded the latest Android Pie stock image, however it seems that once I manual boot to TWRP 3.2.3, it causes the Android system UI to keep crashing. Any guesses on what's going on or what I'm doing wrong? I am flashing with the W removed.

You're backing up a fresh stock install? Is that correct?
Try flashing JUST the factory image, let it boot, boot into bootloader, fastboot into TWRP 3.2.2-0.IMG (previous version of TWRP), and see if you're still crashing.

Are you using Titanium Backup or a similar 3rd party app to restore data? If you are restoring system data, especially across different versions of Android, that is likely the culprit.
TWRP does not modify any system data except the recovery files, so it should not affect system UI. I updated from Oreo to Pie by flashing the Pie factory image, then installed TWRP & Magisk in the same recovery session, and I have yet to experience any system UI errors. I know that doesn't really help your situation, but your it appears to be limited to your phone/setup.
