Did you find an answer to this question? tftp server implementations are typical insecure and I wouldn't want one running on my phone. I see it running on my pixel 3.

Never did learn any more on this, sorry.

How am I supposed to flash gapps after rebooting to the second slot? If i haven't set a pin for the new rom, aren't the files going to be encrypted?

Thanks

You need to reboot to recovery on the second slot. Not the system.

First install question -- flash factory pie or oreo?

Hi. I just bought a pixel 2 xl and want to flash Carbon. The instructions say to flash the "latest factory image." My phone has pie on it. Do I install the latest Pie factory image, or the latest Oreo factory image? Thanks.

Got my new Pixel 2 XL yesterday also and tried to install Carbon ROM.
When I use Pie factory image my sdcard partition is corrupted after installing CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-RELEASE-taimen-20190116-0519.zip and rebooting.
So I assume you have to use the Oreo factory image. Maybe you have to use the current vendor.img of the Pie factory image. Couldn't find that out.
Nevertheless, even with the Oreo image my phone is always booting straight into the bootloader.

What I did so far:
- Unlocked the bootloader as described here.
- Flashed the latest Oreo factory image taimen-opm2.171026.006.h1-factory-57328312.zip using the Deuces script.
- Copied CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-RELEASE-taimen-20190116-0519.zip, twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.2.3-1.zip and open_gapps-arm64-8.1-pico-20181001.zip to /sdcard/ using adb push.
- fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-taimen.img
- Wiped system, cache and data
- Installed Carbon and TWRP zips
- Reboot to recovery. Other slot is active now.
- Installed Gapps zip
- Reboot system boots straight into the bootloader

The bootloader shows:

SECURE BOOT - yes
DEVICE STATE - unlocked

Can someone please confirm that "SECURE BOOT - yes" is correct. This is the only problem I can think of why Carbon is not booting.

Never wipe system on this phone. You'll have to start over from scratch.

Once you're on the latest Oreo all you need to wipe is data and cache.
Update the vendor to both slots then flash the ROM as usual.

Found the problem. It did not work with OpenGapps. With Mind The Gapps installation succeeds.

- Extracted taimen-opm2.171026.006.h1-factory-57328312.zip and zip inside to platform-tools
- Reboot to bootloader

.\deuce-flash-all-v4.5.bat
.\fastboot.exe reboot

- Enable developer options -> USB debugging on

.\adb.exe push .\CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-RELEASE-taimen-20190116-0519.zip /sdcard/
.\adb.exe push .\twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.2.3-1.zip /sdcard/
.\adb.exe push .\MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180808_153856.zip /sdcard/
.\adb.exe reboot bootloader
.\fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.3-1-taimen.img

- Normal Wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvik)
- Install CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-RELEASE-taimen-20190116-0519.zip
- Install twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.2.3-1.zip
- Reboot recovery
- Install MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180808_153856.zip
- Reboot system (Do not install TWRP app)

Carbon does not start when I flash vendor.img from Pie factory image.
Looks like baseband, bootloader and vendor have to match.

unable to restore TWRP backup

I made a TWRP backup (boot, system and data) from my running CarbonROM to an external USB stick.
After doing some tests with a Pie image I flashed back the latest Oreo factory image to both slots and tried to restore my backup.
After boot and system partitions were restored successfully I get an error that the data partition is not found.
Looks like it's a problem with the Pixel security module and the data partition is still encrypted. Is there a specific procedure for restoring backups? What am I doing wrong?

2 more problems:
- When I first installed TWRP it showed a date of 1969-12-31. 2 days later the date advanced by 2 days and is now 1970-01-02. Is it possible to set the correct date?
- In CarbonROM I placed the digital clock widget on my home screen. Where can I find the "widget settings" for customization and to display calendar entries below the clock? It's missing in the menu.

Just installed this ROM on my Pixel 2 XL. Looking very good! Thnx!
However; I have issues with the camera orientation. The realtime display is ok, but reviewing the taken picture shows wrong orientation. Googling around it looks like a android issue that is common, but what to do about it?.

Too soon. Just installed opencamera which does it right. It was just the default app in this rom that is faulty
