So, I just got a Pixel3 XL and am trying to build and flash my own clean AOSP build (as a starting point). I'm pretty technical, but new to the ROM world. (Would have posted in the ROM sub-forum, but my acct is brand new, if a mod wants to move it, cool.)
After successfully building, I'm getting an error halfway through running fastboot flashall now, after the reboot. Has anyone hit an error at Writing 'product_a'?
For my setup, I basically followed this awesome guide by @codevalley : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/how-to/noobs-guide-to-building-aosp-scratch-t4012293
Since it was a new phone, the additional steps I had to do were:
* Connect to network in order to enable OEM unlock
* install the right drivers so fastboot would work, not just adb
* re-flash the OEM firmware, otherwise fastboot fails right away
The only oddball thing about my setup is that I'm building in an ubuntu VM and flashing it from windows after copying the whole target/product directory over.

The only thing I see is that it is only flashing to slot_a. It is my understanding that you need to flash to both partitions a and b before the process will work. For me it has only worked when I flashed to both partitions. Also adding .\ before the command may help. For some reason it only flashes for me when I add it.

Does the AOSP build process generate full OTA images similar to what are found here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota?
If so, try flashing just the bootloader in fastboot, boot into recovery, and sideload the full OTA.

I had this exact error running fastboot from shell on a Chromebook. Simply booting into the full Ubuntu installation I had installed on the Chromebook allowed me to flash.
I believed in my case the error was due to running out of memory. Though using an old fastboot version or a c -> c cable could also cause trouble.
You can also manually flash partitions instead of using the script. Remember, to get to fastbootd, you have to "fastboot reboot fastboot" from the bootloader.

Both of these are good points. You wouldn't think a USB-C to USB-C cable could cause fastboot problems but I've experienced this first hand. I can't quite remember the error I had, but I couldn't flash the stock factory images while using a USB-C to C cable. Switching to a USB-A to C cable (USB 2.0) resolved it.

I've never experienced the fastboot error below and I am not sure about how to proceed.
The error is on the third to last line.

the system image always is too large and usually it gets transferred in smaller pieces automatically. I'd try to flash all the images manually on a Windows mashine, following this guide (section 10).
I did it many times this way without issues.

Well, I can't get it working on Windows at all, because the driver won't install. (At least I assume that's the reason why-- The driver won't install and fastboot won't show any devices.)
I tried fixing that, but with no luck.
I did also try section 10 from Ubuntu, with the same results for the system part:

Fastboot is too old. Remove it from system. apt remove android-tools-fastboot . Place fastboot from dl link into a folder where is your system img. Change permissions if needed and exexute it with ./fastboot

Even better is to place fastboot file into a system /bin folder from where you can execute command in any folder.

My gosh, that finally worked, and I didn't believe it would. I had thought that the one I had gotten from that PPA was the newest, but, apparently not. I actually got it directly from Google (which was a chore in itself, but outside the scope of this thread).
Thank you very much. Now, let's see if I can find out how to mark this as solved...

Third post in the thread below. Just get the 7.1.2 full image instead of the 7.1.1 I mention in that post.
Pay attention to removing the -w from the flashall bat file. That is the key to saving your data.
And second to the last post in the thread are the instructions for getting root back.

Everything turned out fine!!!
Update: Worked through many issues below. Latest issue is that all AOSP images that I've tried so far are having infinite boot loops with recovery mode unavailable, but I am now able to revert to stock.
-----------------------------
Blu G5 "data too large"?
Hi! I'm trying to flash Treble AOSP (Android 10 or 11) to a Blu G5 dual-SIM (originally Android 9 Pie) GSM/HSPA/LTE phone. It's got a Unisoc SC9863A Octa-Core 1.6GHz ARM Cortex-A55 chipset, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The treblechecker app said it's A-only (single partition) ARM64.
I started with a factory reset, then used adb and a modified fastboot (from Hovatek) under linux to get the identifier token and unlock the bootloader. The issue is that every system image that I've tried to flash failed due to "data too large", and some were even smaller than the stock image!
Code:
[email protected]:~/Desktop/Blu-G5-AndroidUpgrade/platform-tools_r31.0.2-linux/platform-tools# ./fastboot flash system system-roar-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img

Since there was a newer (r31.0.3) version of fastboot for Windows, I tried that but I'm still getting the same failure:

So far, I've tried each of the following separately, but each just hangs on this phone:
Code:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification
Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
Sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB) OKAY [ 0.001s]
Writing 'vbmeta' ^C
Code:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot delete-logical-partition product
Deleting 'product' ^C
Any ideas?
EDIT 1: This is what worked to flash it with AOSP 11.0 v312 (although now it's in an infinite boot loop so I guess I shouldn't have skipped over AOSP 10):

Of course it can't connect by adb, and when I try to get it into recovery mode (by Volume Up + Power buttons together until recovery mode screen appears, then when you see the BLU logo release the Power button, but keep holding Volume Up until the recovery mode screen comes), it just freezes. Any unbricking ideas?
EDIT 2: I've just tried the SPD Upgrade Tool (SPDFlashTool.com) R25.20.3901 with the stock ROM BLU_G0090_V9.0.04.04, but the tool can't seem to access the phone during the infinite boot loops or when I freeze it my trying to enter recovery mode...
EDIT 3: I guess it was only soft-bricked since unbricked once with battery pull then Vol-DOWN and Power until knocked down Android ("No Command") icon showed for an instant, then used SPD Upgrde Tool for back to stock. Loaded stock, set USB debugging, used cmd for abd and tried to reboot to fastboot, but it entered bootloop so bricked again. It's almost as if these might have A/B boot partitions after all, but I don't know how to switch between them. I'll try again later...
EDIT 4: Got back to stock with SPD Upgrade Tool again and all seemed fine. Factory Reset, and enabled USB debugging. Then flashed to AOSP 10.0 v201 this time, but got an infinite boot loop with no recovery mode again. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? At least I found a way to get back to stock more easily afterwards by priming SPD Upgrade then holding power and volume buttons between the automatic reboots until the stock firmware started reflashing.

Hello lads, after trying trying to install multiple android 13 custom roms I have issue booting my phone. Keep getting this annoying "no command" screen after it tries to reboot few times. Could anyone help me with this one ? I know that issue should be very easy resolvable. My daily driver used to be stock most recent (not beta) firmware.

Did you erase your boot image by chance? Reflash /boot and /init_boot
Ok, i will do. I havent deleted it for sure, but i did flashed bootloader to all slots, would that could effect booting up ? as i have some errors during installation of custom ROM, but installation finished with successful message.
BTW with original firmware it booted up without a problem. And I still used stock firmware for another day after playing with bootloader or boot files.

Sounds like the stock android recovery. If you see the above, just hold power and volume up to enter recovery.

OK, this is the screen I am getting, but I am looking for solution why any custom rom does not run on my phone. I know that installing stock firmware would fix issue, but i do not want to use stock firmware. I will try to install stock firmware and reinstall custom ROM later, but i do not think that would fix issue I am having.

It may help others to help you if you describe in detail (e.g. exact steps and commands used, etc.) your method of installation and any other pertinent details, such as version of Platform Tools used, etc..

Use android recovery to wipe data and see if that works

Im using Linux Mint 21.1
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 28.0.2-debian
Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb
commands used before reinstalling stock firmware:this and this thread
after reinstalling latest stock firmware (canceling beta version) only used guides how to install custom rom using fastboot mode. ( fastboot update rom.zip )
I have a questio tho, do i need to root my phone with magisk before being able to install custom rom ? I feel like I am missing something, thats why it does not work

Is that Platform Tools version 28.0.2? If so, that's like 4 years old. The latest Platform Tools version is 33.0.3.
