Hello, I am currently on PureNexus Rom with twrp 3.0.2RC1 on the pixel xl. I would like to flash back to completely stock because I am having some issues. I found a step by step tutorial but am apprehensive because some steps confuse me. I already got into trouble once when trying to flash PN rom. I don't want to do anything stupid like use a wrong file or anything like that. Is there anyone that could assist me if I run into issues. Also, I have just created a backup but if I flash to stock and run into trouble, I wouldn't be able to restore my backup, would i?? I would think flashing stock removes twrp Which I would need to restore a backup and think i would have a vendor image issue, right?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

What issues do you have?
Maybe no need to flash stock.
I myself flash back to stock every 6 month just to clean things up even it is not necessary.
I pm you my infos

Stock
Dl titanium backup all your apps
Backup that folder to pc
Backup everything else you need back to pc

You need latest Google drivers for flashing stock.

Thanks for the replies. I was having a issue with battery drain. My text messages, if not looked at, would repeatedly wake up the screen every minute. In the course of about 5 hours, Android operating system would chew through 38% battery. I did a factory reset and reinstalled PN and the issue appears to be corrected. Don't know what was causing it, tried to isolate the issue but could not find. So, for now, i will stay on this rom as long as the issue doesn't reappear. I think somehow ambient display was messed up even though it was off.
