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.

Same here, downloads the update, reboots, says its installing, doesn't finish, reboot, back to square one prompting to install.
So happy that it's not just me. I am also having the issue do you think the problem is with the rooted ROMs

I don't think so... Just restored with latest factory image, wiping everything and still doesn't work! I have a 2015 16GB model.
On the official shield forums it's been confirmed that the ota update won't work for rooted devices. The flash will be up on developer.nvidia.com in about a week.

My shield isn't rooted but im getting the same looping problem. I noticed recently though that on boot up my shield says the device is corrupt etc etc as though it has been rooted, but I've not modified anything.maybe this looping update caused that?
Will I need to wait and try and flash a factory image when it comes out?

You can NOT use OTA Updates if you are rooted. END!
The only way back is to factory reset the Shield. In the case of the Pro. This usually means a 2h wait.
Perhaps a quick reset might be enough? Though I have never attempted it before. But simply restoring a Recovery Image won't overwrite the /system Partition, clearing out the remnants of root. Thus allowing you to then update.

Also, the update will definitely not take with TWRP. Looks like I have to wait until the developer release.

Hi, sorry can't give you detailed instructions right now. You'll find the info but a word of advice: Flash manually command by command in fastboot, DO NOT use the flash-all.bat and if you had 5.1 previously then there is no need to flash the bootloader (blob file). You need to be careful with that file, most hard bricks are caused by corrupted bootloader. Pay attention when downloading the Nvidia recovery image, make sure you get the one for your specific device model.
Cheers.

So i stuck at DTB flash, then i just fast reboot and it back alive, but it back factory default my SSD 500GB storage all gone.
I need to be reformat, remount as storage again and reinstall applications again. I also upgraded to 5.2 too.
just don't know why this update have problem, previously 3 updates (since june 2016) all no issue,
moreover this 5.2 update is the smallest files (140+MB) size compare to the other 3 updates.
can someone explain why? hopefully the next update it would not happen again.
I rather prefer big size file update then this.
BTW i wish to thanks everyone here share and help.
Thank You
I unrooted and still couldn't update. Factory reset did nothing.

Nope didn't unlock anything it's fully stock and only bought it about 3 weeks ago.
If I flash the factory rom when they release it do you think that will help?

Yes, most likely but are you able to boot into 5.1 system and use your shield normally?.
Hi, guys.
I couldn't install update 10.0.3.0 after restoring boot.img from Magisk.
So, I flash boot.img in fastboot but still cannot.
And then I found out maybe because Substratum modified system.img
Then I tried to flash 10.0.2.0 system.img using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash system_a system_10.0.2.0.img
and this error shown:

wtf is happening!
Anyway, the updated is installed successfully.
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.

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.

Anyone got any thoughts? Googling this error is really not turning up much....

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.

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.)

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.
From the start: I was previously running the PixelDust ROM and wanted to try the 11 preview so i attempted to flash it via ADB commands. Script ran through the first time and finished overall but had some failed parts under the formatting section and rewriting partitions. With the first time using it i did forget to take out the -W string, well i purposely left it as i dont mind resetting the phone. Fast forward 8 hours, my phone still wont boot past the white google screen after NUMEROUS retries with flashing the 11 preview through ADB as well as using the flash-all. It also now shows the RED "your device is corrupted" screen on initial boot (not the standard yellow warning after unlocking) and seems like it bootloops to the bootloader or google screen and stays there. ANY help greatly appreciated.
Currently trying to use the Deuces flash-all script and latest version of Android 10. Will report
