Pre-requisites:
* You are familiar with helping yourself out of awkward situations. You won't defame or complain at the developer of this ROM for your misfortunes.
* You are familiar with using fastboot
* Before you are ready to flash this custom ROM, you have to install the latest factory image from October 2021
* Bootloader unlocked
* You have created a backup of your ROM & data
First time installing PixelDust ROM, or coming from another ROM:
YOU MUST HAVE an Android 12 FACTORY IMAGE FLASHED TO BOTH SLOTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST TIME INSTALLING ROM.
1. Flashing stock ROM / unlock bootloader (If applicable):
2. There are now two options for the installation. Either via TWRP or via Sideload (for advanced users).
- Follow these instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images#blueline
- Boot the stock ROM.
- Don't setup any google account, don't add a screen lock. Just go to Settings > System > Developer options. Enable OEM unlocking.
- You need to follow this guide to unlock your bootloader.
A. Flashing PixelDust ROM via TWRP:
- Download the ROM and both TWRP files (img + zip) (for download links see above).
- Boot fastboot mode.
- Connect the phone to the Computer with USB cord.
- Copy twrp-3.6.2_11-0-blueline.img to the platform-tools folder or folder that has fastboot in it and rename it twrp.img.
- Open a Command Prompt.
- At the Command Prompt type and press enter.
Code:fastboot boot twrp.img
- If requested, swipe to allow modifications.
- Tap "Wipe", then tap "Format data" and type yes to continue.
- Copy the rom zip and twrp-installer-3.6.2_11-0-blueline.zip to your device.
- Tap "Install", select the rom zip, tap "Add more Zips", select the twrp-installer.zip and Swipe Slider to install.
- When install is successful tap on "Reboot", then tap on the first list item "System".
B. Flashing PixelDust ROM via sideload:
- Download the ROM and boot image (for download links see above)
- Boot fastboot mode
- Connect the phone to the Computer with USB cord.
- Flash the boot image (this allows stock recovery to flash unsigned rom zip)
Code:fastboot flash boot boot_aosp_xxx.img
- Wipe userdata (required for first PixelDust/Android 13 install)
Code:fastboot erase userdata
- Reboot into fastbootd
Code:fastboot reboot fastboot
- Use volume keys and power button to select "Enter Recovery"
- Select "Apply Update from ADB"
- Sideload the ROM zip
Code:adb sideload PixelDust-Tiramisu-aosp-blueline-user-xxx.zip
- Reboot
Dirty flashing PixelDust ROM (coming from a previous PixelDust A13 ROM):
Just skip the step "Format data" / "Wipe userdata"

why i cant run the pixel dust rom? after i flash the pixeldust it cant boot and back to android stock 12 rom. help?Changelog

* Initial build
* Security patch level: 2022-10-05
* Based on AOSP tag: android-13.0.0_r8 (TP1A.221005.003)
Caution:
If coming from a previous A12 build or other ROM a clean flash is always recommended.
Check that it flashed to both slots - pixels contain two partitions, A and B. If it only flashed to partition A, it might be booting into partition B, which still has the stock rom. Also make sure to flash the bootloader to both slots -why i cant run the pixel dust rom? after i flash the pixeldust it cant boot and back to android stock 12 rom. help?
