How to Install Pixel ROM Port on Nexus devices?

Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have an Unlocked Bootloader. This is required most commonly for custom TWRP recovery installation. If you have unlocked the bootloader, then you can flash the ROMS right away.

2. Although the Pixel ROM will flash a TWP build automatically, it is still advisable to flash the latest TWRP build. Also, get here to know how to flash it.

3. ADB and Fastboot environment on PC is also required. Get here to setup on any OS.

Installation Instructions for Pixel ROM port onto Nexus

Although this is a custom ROM, you will need to install it via fastboot and not TWRP. If you already have TWRP, first take full Nandroid backup: Backup partitions- system, data, boot, recovery, EFS and cache(optional). Remember, this ROM only works with LG Nexus 5X!

Step 1: Download the official Pixel ROM port package.

Step 2: Transfer all the files above to your PC. Extract the ROM file onto your PC, Mac, Linux machine.

Step 3: Reboot into fastboot mode. Power off completely and then press and hold the power button and volume down key for a few seconds. (Power + Home + Volume down/up)

Step 3: Now connect you Android to PC and go to the extracted Pixel ROM file. Run Flash-PixelROM-Windows.bat on Windows PC. For Mac OS run Flash-PixelROM-Mac.sh and Linux run Flash-PixelROM-Linux.sh.

Step 4: Once installed, your device will boot directly to CF-AutoRoot and the device may reboot multiple times.

Step 5: Let it complete and reboot to system.

The first boot may take a few minutes. If your device gets stuck in boot loop or doesn’t show up for more than 10 minutes then perform the operation again without wiping. Otherwise, try a factory reset from TWRP. You can also restore the previous build.
