Hello everyone,

I have successfully built a package for this device. While the factory images is android-6.0.1_r5, this package features android-6.0.1_r10 along with the optimization flags I use for my other devices.

Instructions:

  • You need to get a custom recovery, this recovery should work
  • Boot into twrp
  • flash the package
  • optional: factory reset.

I haven't tested this as I am at work currently, so if anyone want to try before I get home do it :D

Guys just a reminder: don't flash SuperSU ZIP directly. That goes for stock as well as builds like khaon's (just a heads up), but rather one of the existing root options. Flashing a ZIP that tries to modify the kernel, like SuperSU systemless will fail on the Pixel C and might semi-brick your tablet.

I read somewhere you were saying that the boot image is chromeos alike. Could you link me some source-code so I can see and understand the differences and how chromeos bootimage are built ? I looked at the chromeos's sources but i couldnt figure out where to look at.

Basically the kernel image is a depthcharge (the bootloader) payload that contains the Android kernel which then boots Android.

Depthcharge (bootloader source code with fastboot code): https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/

Other relevant project there is also vboot_reference.

It's not just ChromeOS-like... up to the point where the Android kernel boots Android it's completely like on a Chromebook.

Thanks a ton man. I've heard this device is more difficult than other devices to build for. When my type C cables and adapters show up tomorrow I will be unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP, nand backup, and then I'm going to try your ROM and then the kernel that's available. So it's going to be a good day :).

You may just want to root the stock ROM. This ROM has not been updated to the new base, which has fixes for the touchscreen issues.
