Hello again! Sorry for another rookie question but even though I got Lineage OS up and running on my Pixel XL and am pretty happy with it there’s one thing I’m wondering about and can’t seem to find an answer for, if I just booted TWRP (fastboot boot <image> in bootloader/fastboot mode) to install Lineage OS is it going to matter if I just install TWRP now using the steps in the Install via ADB section from the guide on this site? Basically does the order that Lineage OS and TWRP are installed in matter?
Seems like it would have been better had I installed it but the install instructions for Lineage OS I followed (from lineageos.org) just said to boot it so that’s all I did. While I haven’t read anything that says not to do this I thought I’d ask just in case.

I don't have a Google device myself but, I would think that you should be able to obtain some better guidance and support within the following Device Dedicated Area of the forum that's specific to the Google Pixel XL.

The following threads should be helpful for obtaining guidance that's specific to the Official LineageOS and TWRP for your device.

If all else fails and, you don't receive any responses from the above threads, you can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device as well.

When I posted that I was thinking more generally about if there was something about each program where the installation order would matter but you make a good point, I'll have a look through those threads and the Pixel XL forum and ask there if necessary. Thanks!

Hey super noob questions.
1. I thought I had read there was Lineage OS already out for essential? I searched everywhere and can't locate it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
2. I saw someone mention discord channel for development? I am super interested in learning and observing. Can anyone share links?
Thanks!
Check out the Development section
Here's the link. https://www.xda-developers.com/unofficial-factory-images-essential/
i'm totally confused by two previous replies. Are you saying OOTB Essential Nougat is based off Lineage? Otherwise, the link and development forum all talked about Essential Phone image and not Lineage.
I thought the post is asking where the Lineage OS/ROM is which I'm yet to find as well.

Lineage is being worked on but not released to the masses yet.
Any channels where discussion is happening on rom development I am interested in observing and learning
Hey guys, I was hoping someone could point me to the latest / most efficient magisk installation instructions? I know how to do it the original way when I first got my phone, but I remember reading about a better method and a newer TWRP install process that enabled you to keep TWRP installed and still boot the phone.
Did many Google searches and used XDA search but the results were all old instructions.
I apologise in advance for those of you who are already offended by the fact that I didn't read every single post on the entire site and internet to find something I am searching for.
Thank you and I hope your new year is off to a good start
I use this guide: https://mata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
The latest TWRP is located at https://dl.twrp.me/mata/
The latest Magisk is v18.0: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
I would suggest also checking out the PH1 Dev Telegram group where you can find the TWRP and Magisk Patched Images you were talking about as well as well as other things you might find interesting. Here is the link if your interested https://t.me/EssentialPH1DEV
Thanks guys!!

Hello!
Why did you not look at the guides section of this forum before asking - that's BASIC forum etiquette!
Please do that, there's a pinned (!) guide for unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp, so you don't even have to search.
So next time please do search and not just claim to do so (searching requires actual looking) and don't start another useless thread.
Regards
PS if you're absolutely clueless, ask in the noob friendly thread (again, pinned).

I already looked to that guides, infact I used them to install twrp and root when I was on nougat or oreo, because they are guides that were created in nougat or oreo times or, best, they clearly state for what version they're right. But reguarding android pie I have not found anything by "date" or by "clear reference to pie"... Have I been clear?

Nothing has changed, it still works, as I myself can confirm (just did it last week, when camera started freezing on me, going back from an Android 10 ROM - flashed stock Oreo via lgup, upgraded, installed twrp via fastboot, rooted, np).
But to reiterate... Why exactly didn't you ask in the corresponding thread? Sorry, but I'm a stickler for uncluttered forums.
My guarantee on my phone has run out. I have a Galaxy S10+ exynos with one ui 4.1. Where can I start to change the rom and root my phone? Can you recommend me an up to date and safe guide?
Google could have done all of this for you.

Do you know how many results you will get if you ask google? Not all of them will be valid or up-to-date and it's hard to pick one.
I really don't understand what you're saying. I rooted my first phone thanks to articles on google. They usually don't even have to be up to date. Plus your phone is relavitely new compared to what I had.
Anyways, first look for a guide to unlock your bootloader, that's the first step.
Next, learn how to flash twrp onto your device.
Lastly learn how to flash custom roms onto your device via twrp. Custom roms can be found in your device's dev forum here on xda.
You'll need a pc, the right drivers, minimal adb and fastboot (or odin), and the required files (twrp, custom rom, gapps)
Also, you've posted this into the wrong subforum. This subforum is for rom development, it's where devs post roms. If you want to ask a question or need help then ask in the Q/A subforum.
Is it possible to use a gsi on Samsung Galaxy A9(2018)?
More specifically the Pixel Experience Plus 13 GSI
Ive seen a couple tutorials on youtube and some websites but they seem hella shady to me also its my first time trying to install a custom rom/gsi so i dont wanna brick my phone
Ive seen a lot of devices on this website EXCEPT the A9 idk why
Like anyone who knows is it possible? If yes can u explain/share how?
Thanks to anyone who spends their time on this thread!
I have written a guide on installing GSIs on Samsung devices here. Follow at your own risk. You must have TWRP flashed to your device.
Also, please remember that we require device specific questions to be posted in the device specific threads. Please take a moment to read the Forum Rules linked in my signature.
As a courtesy, we will move your post to the proper section.
