How to enter flash mode

The Pixel 3 XL, like all Google Pixel/Nexus devices, uses Fastboot as the flashing protocol.

To enter Fastboot mode, hold Volume Down while powering on the device. Let go of Volume Down when "Fastboot mode" displays on the screen.

Installation

Using pmbootstrap

Follow Installation/Using pmbootstrap. When asked for the device's vendor/codename, select google as the vendor and crosshatch as the codename.

To flash the image to the device:

  • Enter flashing mode (see #How to enter flash mode)
  • Run pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel to flash the kernel
  • Run pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs


Status

The kernel boots, the rootfs flashes and mounts, and ssh works.

Known issues:

  • Screen only works in Plasma Mobile; doesn't work with boot splash, FDE, or Weston
  • USB doesn't have correct idVendor/idProduct, since this kernel is more strict regarding the formatting.

This breaks USB network when developing using VirtualBox USB passthrough: attaching the device to the VM works, and I can ssh into the device from the VM, but detaching doesn't work properly.
