installing..,

Installed on my wife's Pixel 3 with flash-all (minus -w). Rooted with Magisk 18.1 via TWRP .img instance and installed ElementalX 1.06 with EX Kernel Manager auto. Made one custom prop setting. No issues at all.

Any idea what fixes are in this one?

Hi everyone, I need some help/advice,
I tried flashing the April factory image (minus -w), and am now on "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt" error. Everytime I reboot the device it just goes to "No Command" or this error screen.
I uninstalled Magisk, and was on Sultan's kernel. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to restore my system without having to factory reset? I know some people suggested flashing stock kernel, but I can't seem to find the link to it (I thought the stock kernel was with the factory image).
Any help would be appreciated!

I am dling the factory image now, but boot.img should be in there. Are you sure it was not a bad dl?
-Boot.img is in there. Extract the zip then open the "image-blueline....zip" it is in there. If it is not then something is wrong with your dl.

What prop setting are you making. Just curious, I haven't seen any prop editing threads for the pixel 3.

Native tethering. This method works on my 3 XL as well as my wife's "little" 3 on T-Mobile.

What is the problem?

Obviously quite subjective, but the camera appears to be opening faster for me when double clicking power. There was also a Google Camera update from the Play Store this morning, so could have been that as well, but this has been a major bug bear of mine since getting the Pixel 3, so hope it stays like that!

I installed the April update to fix the flashing bug of the ambient display, bit it is still there. Any body else having this issue? Also, is there any fix for this?
