Unable to flash stock via fastboot (linux)

I've ran this multiple times on multiple stock images (8.0, 8.1, 9.0), (Bootloader is unlocked on fastboot mode but in developer area it shows greyd out )
But after flashing, I reboot and see my old rom booting up. Can anyone tell me why is it not flashing?

fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata

Manually use terminal to enter the commands. From the looks of it, everything but the system img updated. Open the bat file to use as a reference for the commands. It should be 'fastboot flash -w update (system zip)'. Easiest way would be to drag and drop the system zip into terminal after the 'update' part of the command. If you wish to not have the update erase your sd memory, leave out the '-w'. Have fun.

Opps! Deleted.

Help, I need to revert to stock!

Hi, I recently changed to a Custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) and stupid me forgot to backup before unlocking the bootloader, meaning I don't have a stock image. Here's the whole thing:
Resurrection Remix is based on LOS, so I have Lineage recovery atm.
I don't have TWRP flashed, but even when I used fastboot boot twrp.img it booted into TWRP and kept flashing the TWRP logo you see when you boot into it. If you have a TWRP backup I can try and use, that would be great. When I try flashing the official factory image, it just flashes a few things, says it can't find the file 'userdata' and says it failed, here's what happens:

My Pixel XL is in bootloader mode and I do have an OS installed, so I still can access the phone.
Please help, thanks!

Lol. Why do you try to flash stock image using minimal ADB/Fastboot? Did you try following the Google way?
Basically: unzip the factory image and double click flash-all.bat script ?
Here is a proper how-to:
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Good luck...

Agree with @5.1's thoughts. Update to latest/greatest platform tools from Google Developers site...then ensure you have downloaded the proper Factory Image. Then flash per the instructions on the Google site.

Wow! That was weird, my initial post didn't go through..strange
Are your platform-tools up to date? Have had this problem before? Are you using a Mac I take it?
Also, command line for twrp is incorrect. It should read...fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-taimen.img
And, you need to fastboot the twrp.img file, not the zip file.

It seems you may need to run the command: fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Which is very unusual, since Pixel's shouldn't really need to do this if fresh unlocking in the last couple of months...
Then, again making sure you have the most up to date platform-tools, it's best if you be sure to use USB-A to USB-C cords (not USB-C if possible) and/or various different usb ports as well. Usually "max download size" and "daemon" issues can be followed back to these reasons...
But, if anything and most concerning, is the error/line "adb server version (40) doesn't match this client (41); killing...
could not read ok from ADB Server"
You would be better served figuring out what's wrong with adb and how to get that working. You won't be getting any further until adb and adb server is running better or flawlessly. As I recall, isn't it that MacOS and Linux have different syntax where you have to include/add more into a command...? I'll try to check on that....
good luck and hope this ends up being helpful...
P.S. yeah...don't you have to include & start with "./" for commands...? I'm unsure if it relates to this situation or to your OS, but just something that popped into my mind...

Please Help. unable to flash Factory Image for Pixel XL

Hi guys,
Please help me with my phone.
I have my pixel XL rooted and accidentally upgraded to android 10 and lost my root.
However, when i was in the process of trying to re-root the phone, i probably did something stupid and got my phone soft bricked with the phone turning into to a bootloop showing the Google sign and the screen on booting up.
I am able to enter the bootloader screen and tried to flash the Factory Stock image, from the old version such as 7.1.0 to the new version 10.0.0 but failed.
This is the message i got every time i flash the factory image.

Hi guys,
Please help me with my phone.
I have my pixel XL rooted and accidentally upgraded to android 10 and lost my root.
However, when i was in the process of trying to re-root the phone, i probably did something stupid and got my phone soft bricked with the phone turning into to a bootloop showing the Google sign and the screen on booting up.
I am able to enter the bootloader screen and tried to flash the Factory Stock image, from the old version such as 7.1.0 to the new version 10.0.0 but failed.
This is the message i got every time i flash the factory image.

You installed an Android 10 factory image, please DO NOT try installing an Android 7xx factory image.
If your bootloader is unlocked try this using this Guide:
- First, remove (uninstall) Minimal ADB from your computer.
- Second, download and install SDK Platform-tools r29.0.6 on your computer. There is a link in the guide: Prerequisites c.
- You are on Android 10 Factory Image (10.0.0 (QP1A.191005.007.A3, Dec 2019)) so just do # 9 in the guide to root/reroot.
Note: Check your bootloader and radio version.
Why? You tried to flash an Android 7xx factory image and it look like the Android 7xx bootloader and radio replaced the Android 10 bootloader and radio.
If your bootloader and radio are not:
- bootloader-marlin-8996-012001-1908071822.img
- radio-marlin-8996-130361-1905270421.img
Open a command prompt #1 in the guide and flash them:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-marlin-8996-012001-1908071822.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-marlin-8996-130361-1905270421.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Extract Android 10 rom and flash the images.

Wouldn't Android 10 run like crap on the Nexus 5X, though? I've only tried some of the 8.1 ROMs, that's the highest it goes on the official page.

It will not run like crap but will also not be very fast.

Solved on my own by realising I could just flash TWRP via fastboot. Duh.

"8.1 won't work, so try 10!" You're even more of an idiot than me.

nope,8.1 is offical ota and can not be flashed in fastboot but only in recovery.
