when will there be a version for android 11:fingers-crossed:
It is in extremely bad form on XDA to ask when a developer will release something. Add to that the fact that the TWRP team is still trying to get 10 working while currently posting test versions, and hopefully you see how asinine your question is.

We are working on sideload and fastbootd which is our last 2 blocking features before we can support official 10 devices. Then we will chase android 11 encryption.
Awesome - take your time. We really appreciate the work you are doing. I wish there was more I could do to help, but sadly I don't have any Android programming experience at all (or any programming for that matter). Happy to be a guinea pig for testing though (squeak squeak).

TWRP finally coming to the Pixel 3 is something I didn't think we'd ever see, to be frank. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not in any rush to move to Android 11 anytime soon. Android 10 is doing a mighty fine job so far...

difficulty booting twrp

Hello folks,
I'm having an error trying to boot twrp. I'm following this guide, and I'm trying to boot into it temporarily, but I'm getting the following error:

Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB)       OKAY [  2.110s]
Booting                [B]  [I]FAILED (remote: 'Error verifying 
the received boot.img: Invalid Parameter')[/I][/B]
fastboot: error: Command failed
This is strange because I've done this process before and it has worked just fine.

A bit of context, I just tried pixeldust rom, and I went back to stock flashing Android 9.0.0 (PD1A.180720.030, Sep 2018) from here using the flash-all from this file in particular: blueline-pd1a.180720.030-factory-d6fefe86.zip.

I flashed it into both slots, then I rebooted into bootloader and tried to do the above. When it didn't work, I went back and enabled USB debugging, which I hadn't done at first because I didn't think it was necessary for a fastboot operation. But that didn't help.

So I'm not sure what's gone wrong here, I've done it before and it's worked fine. Any ideas what that error means?

Thanks!

Okay, so stupid me, I had two platform-tools folders, one had the unzipped Android 11 factory image, the other had the Android 9 image. When I flashed the rom here I accidentally did it with the A11 rom, and thought it was A9. So when I flashed the right stock, of course now TWRP works. -_-;

Hey PistolSlap,
I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction. Just bought a Pixel 3 and unlocked the bootloader, went to flash the same version of TWRP as you did and got the same error. After doing some more reading looks like TWRP doesn't work on anything over Android 9. My Pixel 3 has Android 11 on it. How did you go about flashing Android 9 on it? Once Android 9 is on and TWRP is installed am I stuck with Android 9 based roms? Let's say I were to install LineageOS 17.1 will it screw everything up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Been out of the game for a while. Last phone I messed around with was an LG G3.

Thanks,

it all starts with the right factory image. just download whatever android version you want from here. the last android 9 image is herer. obviously, if you flash the a9 image youll be locked into only using ROMs based on a9. if you need help on how to flash, theres a few threads around here on how to do that. good luck!
