TWRP 3.2.3-1 for Pixel 3 XL

[Homeboy76]

What, the 'Google' Pixel 4A and, Pixel 5 have a working Android 11 (R) TWRP. Where are they?
Not here!

I know it is flustrating, but isn't everyone patiently waiting for Android 11 (R) T.W.R.P?

Wow, it's rants like that, (ending with shouting) that make devs stop developing.

@Dees_Troy owes nobody anything.

Just dug up an old post that explains:

(requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins

Hi all A few of us Moderators have been getting PM's that in my case have not been dealt with due to the fact I am not always on the board. All of us do this for free and in our spare time, and over time we move on, get new toys, or even go...

Friends,

I think that both for and against comments have already been posted and there is no need for continuing this. Please observe the Rules and post with respect and civility to the Dev and fellow users.

A dev's decision is his own and no one has a right to criticise that. If he chooses to stop developing, then that is it. He is under no obligation to anyone to do any particular thing.

If you are capable, develop on your own and also help other users. If you are not, please move on.

I hope that such posts will now stop. If not, they will be removed summarily.

So I'm going to be that guy. Pixel 4, Pixel 5, Pixel 3a and Pixel 4A all have working TWRP. Why exactly are we left out? Is this some serious coding issue xxxxxxxxx ? I mean it's been over a year and every other device is getting updates. I'm just wondering if there's any good reason or if we should just stop hoping and buy a new phone.

I don't like to be demanding or anything of people that are doing stuff for free. But a little bit of communication would be amazing deez troy
Mod Edit: certain words deleted

XDA is such a great community of developers If you want it so bad learn how to do it yourself. They have no obligation to communicate with you about anything.

I am assuming you have a bluline, I do not. When I tried to get people testing the build that I produced, they said it didn't work. I would expect that the fixes will have to be done by someone who has a blueline.

I have a crosshatch and I'm willing to test if you need testers. I would love to see TWRP for our device.

A11 bring up is Wip.

A11 bring up is Wip.

Yeah. That's what we are all waiting for since most of us are on 11.

 

[bigbiff]

Yeah. That's what we are all waiting for since most of us are on 11.

We are looking for contributors.

How I wish I could! Unfortunately, my knowledge of development is next to zero. However, I'm always willing to contribute by testing. I know that doesn't help a lot, since I don't have the knowledge to do the really hard work of development, but I can always be a guinea pig and test it out! Lol.

i'm currently on du 14 (android 10) with 1.5.5 kirisakura.

i booted up twrp with fastboot, but i cant install the img because my storage is just empty.
i removed lockscreen pw, but still empty.

i cant code for ****, but I am familiar with many variations of contributors...

I have BTC... and DOGE... has anyone considered setting up a donation bounty? is that a thing? I see it constantly, everywhere, for years and years...
"I cant code for ****... but I can do testing"
everyone here is a testor, if you have an account here, youve been testing... yah I know, I cant code for **** either... but what if there was a big ass project leaderboard where people could contribute eaisly and devs could apply their efforts on the projects that motivated them most effectivly

How is this NOT a defi project already???
Ill tell you why... the only problems coders CANT fix are their own...

Seriously tho? Anyone wanna start a crypto platform?

would twrp for pixel 3 xl work on pixel 3?
their hardware is the same, only difference is screen

I used the same tree for both but people report the 3 didn't work.

ADB does not work! On the Pixel 3XL, TWRP takes a while to boot up. Be patient, it will boot!

Note, I don't own a Pixel 3 XL, just the regular Pixel 3 (blueline). I personally won't be able to fix ADB. If you have some talent with init scripts and fixing ADB, feel free to work on it and submit a patch.

MTP does not work in TWRP on the Pixel 3 and will not work until we have time to update the TWRP MTP implementation. You will either have to transfer files while in Android or use a USB OTG cable and a thumb drive.

Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.

The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.

Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.

If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:

fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img

This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, you will need to reflash root.

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.

TWRP doesn't work with Android 11 on this device.

Also, there was no need to quote the whole of the first post.

Tried following instructions to install TWRP on 9 10 and even tried 11 I get TWRP to boot up in 9 and 10 but I cant seem to successfully install it as recovery or get it to retain while keeping my system installed. I either get TWRP to stay installed in boot but then lose my system or it bootloops. am i doing something wrong? how can I get the TWRP to stay on the phone and have the android os working?
