[SOLVED] - Soft Bricked by Flashing New Factory Image - Assistance Needed :) - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Good morning -
Got to work this morning and wanted to flash the April update for the Pixel 2 XL.
I followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
And after completing the flash (no errors reported in console), I now get "your device is corrupt" in red instead of the usual orange, and it will not complete a boot cycle. It will go to the Google logo, then run the same cycle again.
I downloaded the latest platform tools, as i saw that when searching for my error, and tried again. I still get the same result.
I suppose at this point I may need to add the -w and try again, but would like to see if this can be salvaged.
@Badger50 , any words of wisdom for a small brown idiot?
thanks

Your no idiot my friend. This kinda stuff just happens at times to all of us. Question, did you unlock_critical as well when you unlocked your phone?? If so, then I would try fastbooting the factory image again with the -w removed to both slots for starters to see if that works. If you need the fastboot commands, just let me know :good:

I just tried one more time, I added my platform tools directory to my PATH environment variable to make 100% sure that perhaps something went wonky with the commands.

Sorry, i failed to answer your question. Yes, I unlocked critical initially.

And to confirm, i had removed the -w and the flash-all.bat looks like this:

Do you have the secondary zip from the factory image in your platform-tools folder?? Also, instead of using a path to the platform-tools folder, I just go straight to it and double click the flash-all.bat file to get it started.

Perhaps I did something wrong here... Do I need to extract all the contents of the first .zip file into my platform tools folder? I extracted it all into a subfolder and ran the flash-all.bat from there, but I am now realizing that i also have a flash-all.bat in the platform tools folder as well, suggesting I did that the last time...
Is this where I went wrong?
I can't break it any more that it already is, so I'll compare directories, purge stuff in the platform-tools folder that is identical to what is in the factory image subfolder, then move the factory image stuff to the platform tools top level.

Looks like more stuff is flashing this time. Let's hope for the best
#dyslexia

@Badger50 is is booting up now. Looks like my problem was failure to extract the image into the root of the platform tools folder.
Thank you so much for being available and talking me through this

There ya go my friend. It's a mistake a lot of people make. Going forward, after you extract the factory image, you want to take the extracted contents and place them directly in the platform-tools folder, that will always include the....bootloader...radio...3 smaller files with the flash-all.bat being the most important for Windows users....and the large secondary zip that has all the other images in it. I'm old school and not that computer savy, which is why I manually navigate to the platform-tool folder and open my command prompt from that folder when I want to issue fastboot commands. Glad you got it figured out though. See, now your a pro ???

Try pressing power, volumeup, and volumedown, all together until you see the blue menus, once you see that, do a factory reset and reboot.

doesnt that bring me to the bootloader?
edit: now i cant mount sd card in recovery after doing this....i think this is why its not booting....any help?
Don't we need do the following code before unroot?
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
if you really bricked yours as badly as I did, you might have to re format one or more partitions.
Fastboot format partitionname
Then fastboot flash partitionname imagefilename.

Don't think so, it overwrites everything so i don't think it matters.
I've fully flashed the factory image and it just sits there seemingly looping.
I've flashed the stock recovery, from Stockroms . net, the bootloader and image from the Google Developers page and it still just sits there.
Anyone have any ideas?
I've also tried erasing all partitions and then flashing again. Right now i`m willing to try anything

The batch file I mentioned above for the N7 did this, and a guide somewhere else written before said that this was necessary due to some bug in the past (I guess something wasn't being overwritten properly).
Hmm, I did just the 'fastboot -w update image-mantaray-jop40c.zip' since I didn't want to mess with the bootloader, just reflash the stock rom.
Got the red triangle with !, rebooted and still got it, but after a few minutes it rebooted by itself and worked. Hopefully it was just doing some kind of first boot thing or wiping stuff.
EDIT: Also seems to have flashed over my recovery, but no biggie.
Where did I go wrong?

Reboots after erasing cache and then will hang on Nexus X screen forever. Any extra steps or commands to assist?
Not working...
So I somehow bricked my N10 (all I did was flash CWM recovery, and then I couldn't mount /sdcard and it bootloops) so I tried this.

So I was kind of stuck at same spot you were I believe, where after the cache the device autorebooted and then hung on the splash screen.
I booted into the (now) stock recovery and formatted and wiped cache and it booted up fine. Hope you have the same luck.
I did exaclty what the OP said and I am at the boot up boot image of the X that is multi color and it just loops there.
I'm still stuck in bootloop. Entering recovery from fastboot brings up the laying android icon with the red triangle/exclamation mark.
What steps do I take next?

Press power and volume up and let go, you'll get various recovery options. Select wipe data and confirm. It'll wipe, then reboot.

Looks like today I'm more stupid than usually. I tried pressing power and volume up both in fastboot and in recovery mode, neither gave me recovery options. I know I am close but I can't nail it...

[Solved] Error while flashing factory images - Zip: unable to truncate file

Hey guys, I've Pixel 2 XL and I'm trying to flash the factory images on the phone using flash-all.bat. I had 8.1 earlier and was doing some tests with custom ROM and then wanted to start afresh. So I did these steps:
1. downloaded the factory image [taimen-opm1.171019.011-factory-2df1c1cb] from here.
2. Extracted it in a folder
3. Downloaded latest platform tools from here and extracted it to same folder
4. Opened command prompt and ran flash-all.bat
5. It flashed radio, bootloader and then while flashing system.img, it gave this error:
extracting system.img (1936 MB) to disk...W/ziparchive( 4084): Zip: unable to truncate file to 2030555488: File too large

Any clues? I tried running the command prompt as an Admin to no avail. I know I can flash all imgs manually (and it works without any problems) but why am I getting that error?
Edit:
This was occuring due to low space on C:\drive (it seems it extracts the system.img before sending it to phone). Thanks to @stevexyz0 for the solution!
Is the disk on your PC out of space? Looks like it's trying to unzip the image before sending it to the phone.

Man, you are awesome! :laugh::laugh::highfive::highfive:
I had the factory images on D:\ drive which had 70GB free; but the C:\ drive had only 1 GB. And I think as you rightly said, it extracts the system.img on PC and that too on C:\ drive (may be in Temp older)
I made the space on C:\ drive and it worked like a charm. Thanks once again!

Man, you are awesome! :laugh::laugh::highfive::highfive:
I had the factory images on D:\ drive which had 70GB free; but the C:\ drive had only 1 GB. And I think as you rightly said, it extracts the system.img on PC and that too on C:\ drive (may be in Temp older)
I made the space on C:\ drive and it worked like a charm. Thanks once again!

Other than making sure you have enough space on your PC drives, we can't really help you. You'll need to ask your question in the HTC forums. Google devices don't use RUUs.

But i think this error is because of allocated partition in device [(htv 10) htv32]

Needing help restoring phone!!

While I was attempting to flash the Nitrogen ROM I was having issues and ended up wiping my SD card. I got some help with restoring the ROM but realized I had flashed the wrong factory image along the way. I flashed the Fi image. So, as advised by the individual helping me, I tried flashing the correct factory files and I now cannot get past the white startup screen that says Google and shows the boot loader unlocked icon. I've tried the full factory restore and I get the same result. Was hoping I could get some help here.
This is what it sends back to me after I flash-all.bat

Make extremely sure that your ADB/fastboot tools are up to date like today.
So...going off of what I was saying in [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for Pixel 2 XL (taimen) post #1753 (which can be found HERE), I'd like to try resetting/reformatting your system partition. The failure/error stated that it couldn't "determine partition type". I'm hoping by reformatting things, it'll set it correctly to that partition type it wants...
So, if you can prepare it as if you were going to install/flash a Full Factory image -- phone in bootloader mode, command prompt/powershell open, your platform-tools directory open (make sure it is the latest most up-to-date version of the platform-tools) where it shows fastboot and adb -- please input the following commands:
Code:
fastboot --version
*to make sure fastboot is working and to establish a connection
next I want to confirm some information... enter the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
*this will show which partitions aren't in the right format and what format we should reformat it in...
please copy and paste here (preferably in the CODE html tags) what it all returns...
Good luck to ya!
Also, @brackett5, you should request a forum moderator/administrator to move this to the Q&A section (I forgot to mention this when advising how to set up this thread) instead of this section... If anything and if any mods are listening, I concur in moving this to the Q&A section as @Az Biker mentioned in this post...Unless you would want brackett5 to create a whole new thread in that section, but leaving any/all the progress made here in this one.........

I know you're at work and things might not be all too flexible or available, but if you can temp boot into TWRP, do an Advanced Wipe of Dalvik / ART Cache, reboot to bootloader, and run the same flash-all.bat and attempt once again to flash the Full Factory image.

ok, so I decided to check if ADB is picking up my device and again, its not reading it. I checked it earlier and it was. Its not saying outdated, but when I type the cmd adb devices, it doesn't list it.

Sorry...in the midst of a road trip...
I know I mentioned before to use the most up to date ADB/platform-tools (it's what causes like 80% of the troubles in this device's forum). But YES use a different ADB! And the most up to date one (r27.0.1) at that...
but yea changing this and using the URL I have might (or a good chance to) bear a different outcome...

Upon first glance, it looks like you have two things going on;
1) your files for flashing in fastboot are possibly not all in the correct platform tools folder with the fastboot application
your TWRP.IMG file, flash-all.bat, and your factory image files ALL need to be in the same platform tools folder as the fastboot application (.exe)
2) your SDK tools are the latest and greatest, you need to switch your USB cable (2.0 to 3.0 or 3.0 to 2.0) or change USB ports.
Try these things, report back

They are all in the same folder. The flash-all.bat is in a sub folder in the platform tools. I'll try and send a video or pictures of howy set up is later.

Bootloop after Android 10 OTA uodate!

I just received my Android 10 update and after the update when it asked to reboot I tapped reboot and now it has been stuck in a continuous bootloop. My phone was not rooted or modded in any way. I was able to boot into the recovery selection menu but cant go into the actual recovery (it just says "no item" when I select recovery).
Any help/suggestions?
You can reflash the ROM using the full OTA package, as is stated by Google in https://developers.google.com/android/ota : This page contains full OTA update packages that allow you to restore your Nexus or Pixel device's original factory firmware. You will find these files useful if you have experienced a failure to take an OTA. This has the same effect as flashing the corresponding factory image, but without the need to wipe the device or unlock the bootloader." You also have in that page instructions of the whole process.
All you need to do is reboot into recovery, enter adb sideload mode from whitin it and send the zip OTA file using your PC and adb. Download QP1A.190711.020 version under Pixel 2 XL.
In order to boot into recovery, when you see the Android robot with the "no item" message keep pressed the power button and then short-press volume up until the recovery options show up.
It after that it's still failing, just format within recovery or flash the full firmware stock package.

Are you flashing the OTA or the full firmware? For the OTA bootloader unlock isn't necessary.
And in the instructions are stated the opposite, you must have misread it.

hi, so luckily i had oem unlocking checked before this happened, but after the october update ive been stuck in bootloop.
ive tried both sideloading the ota in recovery, and also full firmware flash via fastboot.
after several attempts at both, i can't seem to access the recovery and bootloop persists.
any ideas?

if you can confirm a couple things for me....
Are you actually getting into the recovery, but not seeing any "items"; because in stock recovery, you just see a broken/dead android image, and only get selections revealed/not-hidden but holding the volume-up & power button at the same time momentarily.
But, then again, you claim that you have attempted to "sideload the ota in recovery", so I imagine you already did this…but then, again again, you don’t describe what “error” or outcome actually happened and it could possibly be that, when you attempted, you just couldn’t or didn’t know how to get into the stock recovery…
Also, the recovery resides in the boot partition; I suggest you download the Full Factory image file (from the Google Developers site), extract it until you can find the boot.img, then manually flash it to overwrite and maybe fix the boot & recovery; to further explain, copy the extracted “boot.img” file to platform-tools folder where adb and fastboot reside, then run the command “fastboot flash boot boot.img” – although, if the flash-all is successfully executed, it would be doing this anyways…..
Which brings me to my next thing…if you could edit the “flash-all.bat” file and remove the word “exit” at the end – and for that matter, if you wish to save your data, remove the -w as well – and if you could please copy the output/log of you running the flash-all; usually this resolves everything & it all, so maybe it’s here that something is going wrong…
And running Deuce’s famous rescue script has saved/recovered countless people and their device (taimen)…it definitely is a good idea to attempt it…
But, then again, this is assuming that you made sure to run (and successfully execute) the fastboot command “fastboot flashing unlock” and/or (depending on your bootloader version) “fastboot flashing unlock_critical”.
Good luck, hopefully you can get back to me/us on some of this stuff, and hopefully all this ends up being helpful…

And running Deuce’s famous rescue script has saved/recovered countless people and their device (taimen)…it definitely is a good idea to attempt it…
But, then again, this is assuming that you made sure to run (and successfully execute) the fastboot command “fastboot flashing unlock” and/or (depending on your bootloader version) “fastboot flashing unlock_critical”.
Good luck, hopefully you can get back to me/us on some of this stuff, and hopefully all this ends up being helpful…

yes i've tried everything you've suggested (flashing boot separately/removing exit from flash-all/running deuces script), however i haven't been able to access the recovery since i last messaged so i haven't been able to retry an ota flash from recovery. (the screen is all black and a green line of fuzz blinks across the middle of the screen when holding power and volume up) i did however get into it successfully once, and when i did there were no errors at all.
the strange thing is there are no errors when flashing either. it just does not get passed "Google" without rebooting. i just tried another flash-all after flashing unlock & unlock_critical so here is the full log in case im missing something:

Curious....
I would suggest you try Deuce's script -- again, it has assisted and recovered countless taimens. And, if that doesn't help, I would suggest you try temporarily booting into TWRP custom recovery. If you do not know how to do that, download the TWRP .img file from twrp.me (you'll have to direct yourself to the Google Pixel 2 XL [taimen] section), put it where you put the flash-all and other image files, then run the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" (replace "twrp.img" with the actual filename of the twrp image file). There you can erase/format the system and/or other partitions, or even "repair" the filesystem! You can also run adb commands, so you might have some luck and be able to install/flash an OTA image file as well....
Good luck and hope this helps...!

PLEASE HELP Cannot open recovery/EDL - Having troubles reverting to stock and unrooting

Hello, I am trying to unroot my phone and relock the bootloader, but I am having some troubles.
After some trial and error with various forums guides here on XDA, I have been trying to use the Tool All in One, the MSM, but nothing is working. Furthermore, I am worried that I have bricked my phone.
The things I have done so far are:
Initially, I rooted the phone with Magisk. During this, I made a file that told my GPS to be where an application wanted it to be, and saved is a system file.
I have since decided to resell the phone and the buyer wants it to be stock. So, I tried the above mentioned tools of Tool All In one, and tried to flash a stock rom but it gave me an error.
I tried MSM but the device comes back as an error to do with serial number or something.
Whilst playing around with these tools, I have some how sent the phone into a permanent fastboot state and I am unable to reboot into any other state, and so I tried to use the guide found here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...boot-roms-for-oneplus-7-pro-7-pro-5g.3931424/
This just lead to another failure, where it said I don't have the partitian.
If anyone can help me just get the phone to being a stock phone with no bootloader unlock, that would be great. Happy to chat over Discord if that helps!

"fastboot reboot fastboot" to get into fastbootD and then reflash all partitions
In case anyone stumbles across this one day looking for a fix, I found one. My issue was that msm would not connect to sahara and tool all in one wouldn't lock the boot loader without the phone becoming corrupt. To make matters worse, through out all this I lost the ability to use adb and had to use fastboot, and even worse, I some how lost the os entirely and was only able to get into the boot loader.
So the fix for all of this, aka, how to get back to entirely stock software with no root or Bootloader unlocked is this:
1. Install lineageos recover and then os using fast boot so there is at least an operating system and ability to use adb again.
2. Start the phone entirely so you know it works
3. Go back to the bootloader and Install twrp recover
4. Format phone and then adb sideload oxygen os
5. boatload lock with Tool all in one
And wallah it was fixed. If someone needs to know the exact step by step I'm sure I might reply again one day but for now, I'm going to bed!
