[HomeBrews] Pixel 2: LineageOS/CarbonROM/DirtyUnicorns

[Pete02]

Hey guys, new to this forum but my bro just bought a P2 so I'm gonna try and unlock, root and install one of these roms this weekend. From what I've read it seems like DU is the popular vote and most recent build so I'm trying to go with that but I'm having trouble downloading it from Google. It's there another link or maybe I should try it from a desktop?
Thanks for all your work on this btw! :good:

You'll have to download from the OP section in this forum post. The links on DU's website have been removed because they no longer officially support the Pixel 2, just the Pixel 2XL. Sad But true.

As far as flashing, do your homework. This isn't the same way of doing things anymore. Best of luck bro!

Thx, I wasn't asking for instructions on rooting or flashing although I see how you could've interpreted that way. I have subscribed to all the topics I need for that, did my homework. The link I was clicking was from the OP so I guess I'll try it from a desktop instead.

I know you weren't asking about flashing just looking out for a fellow member. I would hate for you to brick your phone!

I had a breakthrough
Project Fi is disabled by default. Please go to Apps and enable it and see if it works.
The build is going to be later today. If you want it now then you will have to deal with some major issues signing in and restoring your google account.

I decided to give this a try on DU and unfortunately I can't activate. Or does this not apply to all three ROMs?

It should've applied.

Hi guys. I just bought the pixel 2 coming from a moto x style and I'm curious as to how the room installation process differs. Please I just need the steps required in installing a custom rom. I'm on Stock rooted with magisk and TWRP installed. Thanks in advance

Depending on rom, and security patch it's very similar. Look first at installing root and twrp via guides section. Then there is a link to latest OP bills in OP

Hey man, just installed this on my Pixel 2. Thanks for the great work! DU is working perfectly. I'll be following your work at Google Plus for sure, good luck with RR!

I hate to be that guy, and I am pretty sure I know the answer but I'm guessing these roms aren't carrier specific? I have searched and haven't seen any firm answers. You'll have to forgive me, I've been out of the loop for a while using these horrible locked up devices with no root available. I have the Verizon pixel 2 (non XL). I know I have to unlock the bootloader first then root with majisk then recovery so on.

With Verizon there is only a little chance to unlock the bootloader. There is a guide somewhere here.
But if you get the bootloader unlocked, first install TWRP, then your ROM and then Magisk.

Ya I saw the guide and I was going to give it a go. I got the smaller pixel 2 so I could unlock the bootloader ?

Hopefully it's still on the January security patch. Otherwise you won't be able to unlock it.

Ya I'm seeing that. It's on one of the latest build numbers and I reading that you can't revert back so I'm toast ?

Not sure if i'm he only person with this issue or not, but when i try to install DU or SIX, i can get it to install and come up to the setup screen BUT the touch won't work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Six rom works perfect... The build I did of DU a day ago needs flash kernel to be fastboot to fix touch.

Don't flash any kernel on six, flash the ROM and TWRP.

Ok if you are flashing SiX... fastboot TWRP and Sideload the ROM and reboot system. Done..

Now to flash DU.. fastboot TWRP and Sideload the ROM, reboot system. Once on setup screen go to bootloader by holding the key combo. Now fastboot TWRP and install Flash kernel, reboot system. Done.
