[ROM][OFFICIAL] Lineage OS 18.1 for Pixel 2 / 2 XL

[irmas5]

I just tried, still in boot loop.
Re-flashed with the flash-all script afterwards, still no change.

Anything else I can try? any further info you need?

Do you tried flash via web browser? Like chrome or brave browser from here https://developers.google.com/android/images. Look for 2xl and try flash via browser.

An stupid question, is it posible to lock the bootloader once lineage os is installed?

no. if you lock bootloader on custom rom, you getting hard bootloop

I got It, i read some post about signed kernel in one plus one forum.

There are a couple ROMs that allow bootloader locking. Proton is one of them. But the phone knows you have a altered system and shows a different warning on boot.

I don't see a big advantage of doing it. I did it on my P2XL and gave the phone to my wife. All was well for a couple months until it was used until the battery died and I couldn't get it to charge or boot to any mode. I think it was because of the locked bootloader setup. Since the device appeared dead, we got her a Pixel 6 Pro as a replacement.

Eventually I was able to trigger a boot by plugging into a USB hub. Got it charged enough, unlocked the bootloader, factory flashed both partitions, then there on LOS. Never had a problem since and the phone is super snappy with good battery life!

 

[MrBrady]

Just found either a bug with the ROM or a defect with my device. When I plug in the stock USB-C Audio Adapter and plug in headphones, the ROM doesn't see them and outputs audio through the speakers still.

What's more weird is, depending on the headphones, when I plug them in a USB notification pops-up saying it's charging the attached accessory. But it's not charging - the headphone charging lights are not illuminated.

Tried rebooting, updating to latest LOS and making sure USB Audio is not disabled in Developer Options.

Tried with Sennheiser HD1 and Marshall Mid headphones. Both are Bluetooth (turned off) with optional wired connector plugged in.

Seems to be a defect with my phone. Happens on stock and other ROMs too.

I'm experience ramdom problems with apps. Sometimes Gmail or drive not sync, sometimes other apps show "not connection to internet" or don´t load some parts of the app.

Battery is stuck in 98% with stock rom reachs 100%

Thank you

Reading forums, the problem seems to be updates form settings, some people fix it reinstalling gapps. In other threads seems to be switch wifi and mobile data. Now it's working fine, since i'm not using wifi.

 

[friedsonjm]

Disregard, wrong form.

 

[g000n]

New update is live

 

[Deleted member 11401259]

I don't know but is working fine with the update. I'll still asking about charge stop at 98% and with stock rom it reached 100%. Lineage rom, is faster and smooth, i love it.

I'm having a heck of a time just getting twrp booted. I only have experience with one other device so maybe there's something obvious here.

I'm using twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img.

The output of (fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img)

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.133s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 2.290s

The instruction at the top of this thread say to use (fastboot boot ...) while the wiki that is linked says to use (fastboot flash boot ...) Which one is right?

The TWRP page for taimen says "If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image."

If I run (fastboot flash boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img) I get this:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (40960 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.202s]
writing 'boot_b'...
FAILED (remote: size too large)
finished. total time: 1.251s

I switched to slot a with the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img boots TWRP without installing it to the boot partition. This is the correct command.

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img installs TWRP to the boot partition. Since you ran this command, you will now have to do as the TWRP page says, and download the latest factory image and reflash the boot image. You can download the factory image at https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen. The boot image is inside the zip file that is inside the zip you will download.

If reflashing the factory boot image does not work, you may have to flash the full factory image, which will wipe your phone.

Thanks for the details, I'll give this a shot. The fastboot command output said it failed though. So am I misunderstanding something here?

The first command should have been successful if you were starting from a working phone. That error message indicates there was something wrong with the phone before you tried to install TWRP. If that is the case, you will need to flash a full image to restore the phone before installing TWRP.

Ah, understood. Well I'm embarrassed to admit that I've made a symphony of errors here, not the least of which is realizing... uh.. this isn't a pixel 2... I'm a dummy. Thanks so much for your time!

 

[Kovaelin]

Thank you very much for this. I was able to get Lineage onto my Pixel 2 XL very easily. The only issue I came across was resolved by updating my drivers.

Google USB Driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

Just for future reference for others already using Android Studio, SDK Manager also provides installation for the necessary platform tools (for adb and fastboot).

the wiki guide has a mistake https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/taimen/install

it says

Temporarily flash a recovery on your device by typing (replace <recovery_filename> with the actual filename!):
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img

when it should be

fastboot boot

not

fastboot flash boot

Also, when I try to run safetynet attestation on the latest version of YASNAC
it says
" Requires Googe Play Services v13.0 or above"
even though my Google Play services is v22.09.20
Any help?

My antenna performance has gone to crap. Possibly caused by me dropping my phone (small crack in bottom corner). Pixel 2. Can barely download any MMS pictures. Takes ages to find signal. Almost never on LTE. Put the same SIM into my old Nokia 6.1 2018 and I get full bars. This stuff has persisted across multiple LineageOS updates. Wifi and bluetooth still seems strong.
