Can you boot into the OS? If not, do you know how to fastboot a factory image without wiping data?

nope i sure dont im kind of new to these.
Then you need to read this thread......

https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418

And then the pic is a guide I made to flash the factory image without wiping data. Just a little FYI going forward. Twrp is kinda borked right now, it won't decrypt data properly with lock screen security enabled, so you have to set it to swipe or none before you can effectively use twrp. Stick to it my friend, you'll get it figured out :good:
