The new update is allegedly out. But for me there is no update.
Has anyone a zip or some infos about it?
It's out only for preview program members.

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.

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?.
I picked up my Pixel 2 XL yesterday. I set it up to check it out and everything worked fine on it. It is a google version and I haven't put my Verizon SIM in it just yet. I started off with unlocked the bootloader and bootloader_critical without any issues. I then want to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1 by flashing the stock image. I flashed it using the flash-all.sh on a linux machine. The flash when just fine but now my device won't accept touch input. I am able to interact with it using a wireless mouse via the usb-c to usb adapter.
My question is, has anyone experienced this and what should I do to fix this issue?
I have tried flashing back to the most recent 8.0 using stock factory image on both a linux and windows machine. I haven also used the Android ToolKit with the most update to date version. I've looked around online and I didn't see someone else with this issue but if this has been posted before, I'm sorry for posting this again. I also want to say that I did post this over on reddit on /r/AndroidQuestions last night.
Have you downloaded the 8.1 factory image and just installed from scratch using the flash all?

Yeah, I just tried that. I downloaded the 8.1 image and flashed using the flash-all.bat. Below I have the output from the terminal.

EDIT: I ran this tool and it brought the phone back to life! Not sure why the flash all script is broken. I will keep this thread open and post the log that this tool generated and hopefully the community can figure out what happened. I noticed the all-in-one tool flashed some additional partitions like "dtbo" that the flash all script did not.
Just got a used device, figured i'd unlock bootloader and update it via fastboot instead of OTA. Unlocked bootloader, ddownloaded image from Google site, ran flash-all.bat. Now when device starts, right after the bootloader unlocked warning, I get the Google logo, then device is corrupt and untrusted warning, then a bootloop. Trying to clear the cache does not work (see error in output below). Clearing data via recovery works, but does not help. I have a fair amount of experience with this. What am I missing!?
What I have already tried:
* Update fastboot to latest version:
Code:
> fastboot --version
fastboot version eac51f2bb6a8-android
* Try Different Cable/USB Port
* Try running "fastboot flashing unlock_critical":
FAILED (remote: Device already : unlocked!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Using the July 2019 update instead of the latest
* Google research
Sometimes I get this from the flash all command. Sometimes writing user-data works, but clearing cache gives "Error: Check device Console":

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

Android 10 worked....
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
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'system' (1745204 KB)...
FAILED (remote: data too large)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Since there was a newer (r31.0.3) version of fastboot for Windows, I tried that but I'm still getting the same failure:
Code:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img
Sending 'system' (1282352 KB) FAILED (remote: 'data too large')
fastboot: error: Command failed
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]

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):
Code:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot -S 300M flash system system-roar-arm64-aonly-gapps.img

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.
