Your Device is corrupted and cannot be trusted. - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

My Pixel 3 XL completely stock not unlocked just started displaying the following message:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly"
"Visit this link on another device g.co/ABH"
Spoke to Google and they asked me to perform a factory reset, I have done so with no luck.
Currently on latest November update.
Is the phone a dud and do I need to claim on warranty or is there any solution to this? Thanks

you're probably gonna get told this anyway but "use search function"
This has been addressed several times,
Download platform tools make sure your adb is in order download the november factory image and run the flash-all.bat script, this will bring your phone back to life, but with no data,

You sure it not already unlocked?

I've had this on my P2XL before. Came about totally randomly. Phone started running extremely slow one day, so I rebooted it to see if it would clear out whatever was causing the issue. It wouldn't boot up and gave the same error. I was able to recover from it and save all my data by flashing factory image without wiping (remove -w in the flash-all script). Unfortunately it looks like you already factory reset so all data would be gone already.

Thanks I will flash it and hopefully it will sort it.
Sorry I did search but saw articles about pixel 2 not the 3.

Did you get the Nov update OTA, or flash it yourself? I'm stock and still on the Sep update. Thought I saw that updates are rolling out, so just curious.

I got the OTA quite a few days ago, didn't flash it myself. Hopefully you'll get yours soon.

If it caused your problem I'll be happy to wait.

just download sdk platform tools and factory image and run flash all.bat. My data also got corrupt last night after downloading greenify

I can confirm the update didnt cause any issue, it happened before that
i tryed to sideload OTA but it didnt work so the device needed a full factory wipe and it has fixed the issue.

Thanks for the follow-up. I actually just got the OTA Nov update this morning and all is well. Glad yours got fixed also.

Alright, I got the device is corrupt error as well because of force of habit i mistakenly installed twrp.....
So I was trying to avoid wiping the data, and removed -w from the flash-all.bat. But I got the error again. Step two I used the flash-all.bat with -w to wipe.
The following are my results. The error "FAILED (Error reading sparse file)" appears at the end.

Alright, so I began to flash the boot image to each of the slots. But it keeps failing at vendor_a each time. It couldn't be the file, is it my device at this point??

Welp I saw it all over the place that people seemed to just use their friends pc and it worked. So I said screw it. Put down the laptop, went to the desktop. Sure as anything. It flashed the phone no problem and fixed the boot loop. I don't get why, the cable is the same, the files are the exact same... but it worked!

Are you using usb c to usb c cable? I had the same problem and error when I was. If you are switch to a usb a to usb c and try it all again, it worked once I switched cables.
Scratch that just read your edit at the bottom that you used the same cable lol.

I got the same probleme, how did you reset your pixel? I have pixel 3 xl 32gb and i tried to go on recovery mode and idn't work, its go on the page what its say : Your device is corrupt. Its can't be trusted and may not work propely. Visit this link on another device: go.co/ahb
Hope have some help

I have flashed the phone but the error has come back after a few weeks of use... I'm starting to feel like this could be a hardware issue. I am still getting the phone freezing every so often and it doesn't even reboot correctly I have to hold power and volume down to turn the phone on. Something definitely isn't right.

Well I knew there is dual partitions and curious if those images will take care of both sides how much can I rely on that? Seeing they are factory should be pretty high.

Flash it once, run the fastboot command to switch active slots and flash it again. If you are that worried, you most certainly should let it flash the user partition. Anything bad is most certainly going to be there.

Not on it's own. NEVER RE-LOCK THE BOOTLOADER UNLESS YOU ARE 101% SURE YOU ARE BACK TO STOCK. I think there is an older thread here where someone did that and that device is now bricked permanently.

It is not necessary to switch the active slot as someone else here suggested. The flash script included with the factory image flashes both slots.

I think I just read in the carbon thread that is not the case, only part of the install goes to both slots. ??

I don't think this is the case either. Afaik partitions such as system will only flash to the active slot (i.e. I've seen the script say something like "writing system_a"). When I manually switch slots, it will say "writing system_b" - this is what leads me to believe it doesn't flash to both slots.
I have a bit of OCD so I manually switch slots and flash-all to both. It's also to be on the safe side, avoiding any potential issues by having one slot have older factory images.

So it looks like the only time it touches the inactive slot is when it flashes system, in which case it flashes something different to the inactive system partition. Weird.

Pixel XL fails to flash stock rom

Hello,
i have a Pixel XL which i have just purchased second hand. The previous owner flashed the Android P beta and i wanted to restore to the last Oreo.
Started skipsoft tool and chose to restore to stock, device found and flash starts but always fails to finish with the following status. The stock Rom i am trying to flash was downloaded from official sources. Any ideas what to try?

Make sure your SDK (ADB, fastboot) is up to date.
Is the phone in working condition?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
jiggly cable dude,replace cable before flashing again cause u could brick it.Device fine!
Well that data partition could be corrupt. I would suggest wiping date then try to reflash the factory image. If the data won't wipe you might have a bad emmc

Hello,
i have a Pixel XL which i have just purchased second hand. The previous owner flashed the Android P beta and i wanted to restore to the last Oreo.
Started skipsoft tool and chose to restore to stock, device found and flash starts but always fails to finish with the following status. The stock Rom i am trying to flash was downloaded from official sources. Any ideas what to try?

Is the device 128gb? If so refer to this post by me.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76710445&postcount=23
i would go to developers.google.com and download and flash-all the the latest rom. if that doesn't work fastboot boot twrp.img and goto Wipe -Format Data .

I'm going to second this. I could not flash back to June 8.1 factory from the P beta without updating my ADB and Fastboot to the latest google provides.
I had the latest "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" from XDA and that was not working at all - lots of errors thrown.

I had a similar issue and it started with release of May image and no matter what i did with cable changes like mentioned or using a different pc or using a different usb port or updating to latest fastboot/adb ... switching slots.. i could not flash the full image with -w removed.. i went back and reverted to April full image ... I have not yet tried June but my guess is it will be similiar result with failing on that exact spot as you mentioned. Same exact error.

Here's what i did to get past this error so maybe worth a try.. as i mentioned above i reverted to April i flashed slot B with full image ... no data wipes in any of this btw.. so i removed -w from flash-all
i let it do its thing and reboot
i switched to slot A and again did the april flash all no data wipes (remove -w)
then i tried the june full image again no data wipes (remove -w) and voila it finally worked.. so try that to see if it works for you.
no data wipe needed.
flash april full image (remove -w) to both slot b and slot a
keep it on slot a
flash june full image (remove -w)
so up to now i had always flashed only to active slot and not both but with this trick it worked for June as well but first start with April. hope that works for you too bud

Bootloop after Android 10 OTA uodate!

I just received my Android 10 update and after the update when it asked to reboot I tapped reboot and now it has been stuck in a continuous bootloop. My phone was not rooted or modded in any way. I was able to boot into the recovery selection menu but cant go into the actual recovery (it just says "no item" when I select recovery).
Any help/suggestions?
You can reflash the ROM using the full OTA package, as is stated by Google in https://developers.google.com/android/ota : This page contains full OTA update packages that allow you to restore your Nexus or Pixel device's original factory firmware. You will find these files useful if you have experienced a failure to take an OTA. This has the same effect as flashing the corresponding factory image, but without the need to wipe the device or unlock the bootloader." You also have in that page instructions of the whole process.
All you need to do is reboot into recovery, enter adb sideload mode from whitin it and send the zip OTA file using your PC and adb. Download QP1A.190711.020 version under Pixel 2 XL.
In order to boot into recovery, when you see the Android robot with the "no item" message keep pressed the power button and then short-press volume up until the recovery options show up.
It after that it's still failing, just format within recovery or flash the full firmware stock package.

but i cant unlock the bootloader as it says in the tutorial
am i doing something wrong? or is there any way to flash without unlocking the bootloader?

Are you flashing the OTA or the full firmware? For the OTA bootloader unlock isn't necessary.
And in the instructions are stated the opposite, you must have misread it.

hi, so luckily i had oem unlocking checked before this happened, but after the october update ive been stuck in bootloop.
ive tried both sideloading the ota in recovery, and also full firmware flash via fastboot.
after several attempts at both, i can't seem to access the recovery and bootloop persists.
any ideas?

if you can confirm a couple things for me....
Are you actually getting into the recovery, but not seeing any "items"; because in stock recovery, you just see a broken/dead android image, and only get selections revealed/not-hidden but holding the volume-up & power button at the same time momentarily.
But, then again, you claim that you have attempted to "sideload the ota in recovery", so I imagine you already did this…but then, again again, you don’t describe what “error” or outcome actually happened and it could possibly be that, when you attempted, you just couldn’t or didn’t know how to get into the stock recovery…
Also, the recovery resides in the boot partition; I suggest you download the Full Factory image file (from the Google Developers site), extract it until you can find the boot.img, then manually flash it to overwrite and maybe fix the boot & recovery; to further explain, copy the extracted “boot.img” file to platform-tools folder where adb and fastboot reside, then run the command “fastboot flash boot boot.img” – although, if the flash-all is successfully executed, it would be doing this anyways…..
Which brings me to my next thing…if you could edit the “flash-all.bat” file and remove the word “exit” at the end – and for that matter, if you wish to save your data, remove the -w as well – and if you could please copy the output/log of you running the flash-all; usually this resolves everything & it all, so maybe it’s here that something is going wrong…
And running Deuce’s famous rescue script has saved/recovered countless people and their device (taimen)…it definitely is a good idea to attempt it…
But, then again, this is assuming that you made sure to run (and successfully execute) the fastboot command “fastboot flashing unlock” and/or (depending on your bootloader version) “fastboot flashing unlock_critical”.
Good luck, hopefully you can get back to me/us on some of this stuff, and hopefully all this ends up being helpful…

yes i've tried everything you've suggested (flashing boot separately/removing exit from flash-all/running deuces script), however i haven't been able to access the recovery since i last messaged so i haven't been able to retry an ota flash from recovery. (the screen is all black and a green line of fuzz blinks across the middle of the screen when holding power and volume up) i did however get into it successfully once, and when i did there were no errors at all.
the strange thing is there are no errors when flashing either. it just does not get passed "Google" without rebooting. i just tried another flash-all after flashing unlock & unlock_critical so here is the full log in case im missing something:

Curious....
I would suggest you try Deuce's script -- again, it has assisted and recovered countless taimens. And, if that doesn't help, I would suggest you try temporarily booting into TWRP custom recovery. If you do not know how to do that, download the TWRP .img file from twrp.me (you'll have to direct yourself to the Google Pixel 2 XL [taimen] section), put it where you put the flash-all and other image files, then run the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" (replace "twrp.img" with the actual filename of the twrp image file). There you can erase/format the system and/or other partitions, or even "repair" the filesystem! You can also run adb commands, so you might have some luck and be able to install/flash an OTA image file as well....
Good luck and hope this helps...!

Pixel 2 XL Android 10 Bootloop

Hi everyone, I am facing a bootloop problem with my Pixel 2 XL with Android 10 (Build 190711.020) and unlocked bootloader
THE PROBLEM
When I turn the phone on it boots until the Google splash screen then the phone turns off and on again, the issue also occurs when I try to boot to recovery mode or when I plug the phone to a charger or USB. The only thing I can boot fine to is the Bootloader
WHAT I DID PRIOR
A couple of hours ago the phone was not rooted and was working fine and I did the following
1. Rooted the phone with Magisk 19.4 beta,
2. Enabled Gmail dark mode by editing flags with solid explorer
3. Reboot the phone
4. Used it for sometimes
5. Boot into bootloader and flashed boot.img to unroot
6. Boot the phone and used it fine for hours
7. I went to settings and enabled forced dark in developer options
8. Reboot the phone and the bootloops begins
WHAT I HAVE TRIED
After the hone started to bootloop did the following
1. I flashed Android 10 factory image >> Still bootloops
2. Formated userdata >> Still bootloopps
3. Used [TOOL] Deuces Bootloop-Recovery & Flashing Script v5.0 >> Still bootloop
4. Change to boot slot a and flash factory image, change to boot slot b and flash factory image >> Still bootloop
Does anyone have any insight on how to solve this problem?*
Thanks

What is the output/log for when you run the flash-all?
Also, confirm you have the most up-to-date platform-tools as well as using a USB-A to USB-A (avoid USB-C as much as possible, at least with taimen) cord and various different ports.
I'm thinking, instead of flashing the boot.img, you should've just "Uninstalled" within Magisk -- essentially restores the stock boot.img, but with the 2 different slots, it may have some other safeguards or something. But, in any case, loading flash-all and/or deuce's script should've/would've resolved anything that went wrong anyways...
Are you sure you didn't accidentally flash/restore using Pie instead of Q/10?
If nothing else after answering these inquiries, I will walk you through using fastboot commands within bootloader mode to manually format the boot and system partitions....

Also, confirm you have the most up-to-date platform-tools as well as using a USB-A to USB-A (avoid USB-C as much as possible, at least with taimen) cord and various different ports.

Yes I have up-to-date platform-tools and I am using USB-A to USB-C (I have been using this cable to update monthly)
I'm thinking, instead of flashing the boot.img, you should've just "Uninstalled" within Magisk -- essentially restores the stock boot.img, but with the 2 different slots, it may have some other safeguards or something. But, in any case, loading flash-all and/or deuce's script should've/would've resolved anything that went wrong anyways....
Are you sure you didn't accidentally flash/restore using Pie instead of Q/10?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I should just have just uninstalled magisk by using the uninstaller zip but I wanted to remove TWRP too and No I did not flash Pie just the same Android 10 build I cleaned flashed when I was updating to Android 10
If nothing else after answering these inquiries, I will walk you through using fastboot commands within bootloader mode to manually format the boot and system partitions....

I haven't read the whole post, but I wanted to come on here real quick after a cursory look and suggest something...
There are some things that changed with the Full Factory images for Q/10 -- namely where the flash-all resides -- and I'm completely unsure if things have changed, but AFAIK, for Linux, you are supposed to use the flash-all.sh, NOT the flash-all.bat. I'm sure it's a subtle but significant difference...!
And i'll be sure to read and consider the rest later tonight...
And I am very happy to help!

I am using windows, I just run .\flash-all.bat on PowerShell as I was unable to copy the output code in CMD but I get the same output from CMD and PowerShell.

So, actually, I strongly suggest using CMD versus PowerShell. If anything, you make sure to run it “as Administrator” (either by right-clicking, or searching Command Prompt and right-clicking) and then directing to and running the flash-all.bat. And to keep the window from closing, you edit the file – in the same way you would to remove the “-w” – by right-clicking and selecting “Edit”. At the very end, remove/erase the word “exit”; this should keep it from closing out the window. You should do this from here on out. Also, you probably don’t have to do the “./” thing, but I’m not sure if it matters at all or not.
At this point, I (personally) would go through the process of manually formatting the system, boot, dtbo, and data partitions using fastboot commands in the bootloader; but I’m worried it might affect the bootloader in some inadvertent way and completely brick the device – which is why I’d only do it myself with only myself to blame. I super really bricked one device already by accidentally formatting the bootloader partition, then before reflashing/re-installing the stock bootloader, I accidentally rebooted and I couldn’t even recover anything because there was no Bootloader Mode to do it from. So what I suggest to you is this…
I suggest you download TWRP image file and temporarily boot into that custom recovery to “wipe” and format everything. You can do this by downloading and moving the TWRP .img file to the platform-tools folder that has the adb and fastboot executables/files. Then run the command “fastboot boot twrp.img” (replace “twrp” with the actual file name). In there, I would go to the “Wipe” section and wipe the system, data, and internal storage partition – If there was an option to wipe the boot partition I would suggest that; but we’ll get to that if need be – if you go into the “Advanced Wipe” section. While there, you might even try the “Repair or Change File System”. After all of this, you should reboot back into the bootloader and load up a CMD after clicking “Run as Administrator” and run the flash-all.bat again.
If it still is struggling afterwards, you might want to try obtaining the stock boot.img and dtbo.img -- you should be able to find it in the Full Factory image .zip file; you just have to delve deep enough through the multiple .zips -- and manually flashing it to the device; command would be “fastboot flash boot boot.img” & “fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img” – remember you will have to move the .img files to the same platform-tools folder as fastboot and adb .exe files.
Some thoughts; I really wonder if it is the new Q/10 OS version or something and/or the new way Google has assembled the Full Factory images, but most of the time running the flash-all with the “-w” intact resolves any boot and system issues! None of these steps are usually necessary further than that. I was suspecting something was happening in the flashing, but your log shows that everything is flashing and installing without error. I might’ve even suggested that you redownload and check the checksum (SHA-256), but then again you would have had a bunch of errors if even one byte was off!
Here’s hoping one of these things works…good luck to you!

At this point I would try anything possible as I was 99% giving up and prepared to buy a new phone, but if there is even a 0.05% chance of something to work I would try that.
Thanks

I don't know much but what does this code means?
Code:
archive does not contain 'vbmeta_system.img'
archive does not contain 'super_empty.img'
archive does not contain 'boot_other.img'
archive does not contain 'odm.img'
archive does not contain 'product.img'
At this point I would try anything possible as I was 99% giving up and prepared to buy a new phone, but if there is even a 0.05% chance of something to work I would try that.
Thanks

Yeah..the "archive does not contain" alerts are normal...I think it has something to do with Google covering all their bases and having their install/flashing code be able to apply to other various devices that do have those partitions/images.
Man...yeah I can't think of any reason why your phone shouldn't be working or at least being able to boot to the recovery, even temporarily.
I guess just two things, just "for sh*ts and g*ggles"; please try running the "fastboot flashing unlock" & "fastboot flashing unlock_critical". The next is to try installing the Full Factory image of Android Pie/9 instead of Q/10; maybe something in the new OS version is causing issues -- I might even go a couple months back since they recently changed some stuff in the Full Factory where the flash-all file is located in a different place!
Outside of these 2 things, I can't think of anything more; never have I seen absolutely no errors and completely normal flash-all (or Deuce's script) process and still have this blaring issue.
Hopefully these do something, but if it doesn't, sorry I couldn't do more. Good luck to you...

Thank you so much for your help mate, I will keep searching and try if I can get it to boot.
simplepinoi177 said:
What is the output/log for when you run the flash-all?
Also, confirm you have the most up-to-date platform-tools as well as using a USB-A to USB-A (avoid USB-C as much as possible, at least with taimen) cord and various different ports.

I have a pixel 2 xl patched boot image that would boot a phone with root but magisk core-only mode.
You are welcome to try it. This has not been zipped. Just rename it. Suffix was added so it could be uploaded.

So did you finally managed to solve your issue?
Yeah...I'm curious if running a Full Factory Pie/9 produced anything different...
but I'm betting @Ninjar probably called it quits and is sending it "in" or something...
But yes, an update would be great!

Well...since it seems that you may not be doing anything else with "this one", I might just walk you through manually formatting the partitions since/if it might be okay to merely "go for broke" even if there's a risk of permanently bricking it...
let me know here if you'd like to proceed...

Question "No command" screen after installing custom rom

Hello lads, after trying trying to install multiple android 13 custom roms I have issue booting my phone. Keep getting this annoying "no command" screen after it tries to reboot few times. Could anyone help me with this one ? I know that issue should be very easy resolvable. My daily driver used to be stock most recent (not beta) firmware.

Did you erase your boot image by chance? Reflash /boot and /init_boot
Ok, i will do. I havent deleted it for sure, but i did flashed bootloader to all slots, would that could effect booting up ? as i have some errors during installation of custom ROM, but installation finished with successful message.
BTW with original firmware it booted up without a problem. And I still used stock firmware for another day after playing with bootloader or boot files.

Sounds like the stock android recovery. If you see the above, just hold power and volume up to enter recovery.

OK, this is the screen I am getting, but I am looking for solution why any custom rom does not run on my phone. I know that installing stock firmware would fix issue, but i do not want to use stock firmware. I will try to install stock firmware and reinstall custom ROM later, but i do not think that would fix issue I am having.

Im using Linux Mint 21.1
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 28.0.2-debian
Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb
commands used before reinstalling stock firmware:this and this thread
after reinstalling latest stock firmware (canceling beta version) only used guides how to install custom rom using fastboot mode. ( fastboot update rom.zip )
I have a questio tho, do i need to root my phone with magisk before being able to install custom rom ? I feel like I am missing something, thats why it does not work
