Cant flash stock rom anymore - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey there,
had a strange happening minutes before.
was rebooting but device was in bootloop, so i flashed factory images without -w, but no success.
so i decided to go clean and added the -w, but now while flashing i get an error in fastboot:cannot generate image for userdata
i cant find the userdata.img in the factory image anymore
any ideas?

Try format data or flash old 8.1.0 image. Hade same problem today but solved My problem

You tried to flash with an app designed for the TF101?????? And you wonder why this is happening to your Nexus 7?

You don't sound like one who's familiar with flashing anything. Be that as it may, what did you do exactly by "manually flash"? Can you get into fastboot mode or recovery at all? If you can, what does the screen show? You mentioned bootloop. How far does the tablet get before looping?

i did flashing with factory img already...
--------
i did manually flash because when flash system.img cmd error:cannot load system.img
so I fixed it by editing the command used to flash the system.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system system.img
and all my commands cmd:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader ["bootloader name".img]
fastboot flash radio ["radio name".img]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
And all command were finished successfully
---------
yes... i can get into fastboot mode and recovery mode
you said : "If you can, what does the screen show?"
hmm...in fastboot show normal bootloader
and in recovery mode I install cwm recovery

bootloop happen in animation after google logo

From experience, mine and others', if you get to the animation part, it means the boot partition is intact. You get into trouble when that is damaged somehow. If I were you, I would flash everything again and separately, from boot.img, to system.img, to recovery.img.
Make sure you choose the right one for your tablet. LTE for LTE and flo for flo (wifi only model) - no mix up. I did flash a wi-fi only rom on an LTE 2012 before, and it didn't brick the tablet, but I have no idea what such a mistake would do to a 2013 model.
I would use a stock-based rom like CleanRom only because so many people bricked theirs after flashing stock rom. I would try Cleanrom to make sure the tablet is functional hardware-wise first. Then, if you feel like taking the dive, go for your stock rom. Ask the author if you cannot retrieve the individual images from the zip file. Good luck.
hardest soft-bricked ever seen!!!
anybody haven't idea?
Why is -S 512M needed? I see what you said above but I've never seen anyone saying to use that command for this device. Update fastboot? Maybe a fastboot format cache at the end?
To be a ****, all you had to do was fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img but you know that now. :highfive:

Flashing from MM to N system images via fastboot stuck at google logo

All,
I am not a noob by any means, but when I attempted to manually flash the img files via fastboot for the latest N build from the factory images coming from the last 6.0.1 build I get stuck on the Google logo. I checked the commands and re-flashed again and the same result happened ( i did flash radios and BL ) .
I even tried to format data ( i had backed everything up ) , still no go and stuck at google logo still. I could access BL and able to access TWRP.
I got frustrated and flashed the 6.0.1 images including BL and radio via fastboot and booted up just fine. I then rooted, installed flashfire and used the OTA and Android N installed just fine.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. I am currently on N, but wanted to do a clean install .
Thanks in Advance
Did you flash vendor.img?
Why don't you list the exact commands you used to flash, then people can comment.
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img
Flashing mtc20k works successfully
Using the same commands to flashing npf10c results in stuck the google logo
In order for me to even get on N I have to me on 6.0.1 then either use the bullhead-ota-npf10c-d1785fea.zip on the root of the SD card and use flashfire OR use the following command from stock recovery
adb sideload bullhead-ota-npf10c-d1785fea.zip
The later is what I did recently, but both will work to get to N.
So why can I not simply flash the factory images like for 6.0.1?

I have tried fastboot erase userdata and fastboot format userdata and fastboot erase cache
fastboot format cache and that never worked.
I tried that factory image before and resulted in the same, however, I will at sometime attempt to do the final of 7.1.1 once it is available sometime in December 2016 and hopefully will resolve the issue.
I will stay on DP1 right now as i find the battery extremely excellent, the Visual VM is back now, and i notice some notifications are coming through better than in 7.0. (I read an article earlier today about notifications and the pixel not coming through)
Thanks in Advance for the people that did come through so far and wanted to thank you for your input on the matter and if i don't have a pixel by December I will try this out.

format command itself format it as ext4 type. you can simply use fastboot format config.
another thing you can try is.
fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot oem wipe config
fastboot oem stop_partitioning
you can also try format config command after starting partitioning. try once without starting partitioning if not works second time try after partitioning. use wipe command only after starting partitioning

You need to reflash whole rom with miflasher and unlock bootloader.
Some people solved the issue by stopping the download, turning on mobile data and resuming download on mobile data. Don't forget to turn off your WiFi. Try this before flashing the stock rom again and losing all your data.
Check the log and reflash touched partitions

I had the same even after reflashing (fastboot flash boot boot.img) of boot image: I do use Magisk. I checked what is happening during the failing update by
adb logcat -e update_engine
It will report you where and what is failing.
In my case it was complaining on system checksum:
02-20 10:06:56.298 2188 2188 I update_engine: [0220/100656.298722:INFO:delta_performer.cc(386)] Applying 4096 operations to partition "system"

This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.
So I reflashed system and the update went on well.
Thus you need a computer with adb and fastboot available and stock image from http://en.miui.com/download-354.html of the same version as currently installed.

It depends how you reflash. Some scripts provided with the stock ROM do contain bootloader lock command. Some do erase data. The performing actions follow from script names. If you are not sure, open a script and check the commands inside.
In a case you have a problem with the OTA update, it is unlikely connected to your data partition. So no need in reflashing it/reflashing entire phone and loosing your data.

There is a way to unlock bootloader on this phone without loosing data, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-erasing-t3878453
You do not have to unlock bootloader if you want to flash stock ROM images.
Something interesting
I've had done something interesting recently. I'm not a "pro" user, just a normal. I couldn't install the February update through OTA, every time the install failed.
I had download from the new dump post the full rom. (Sorry i'm a new user and i can't url posting)

After that when my phone first rebooted, the most interesting thing was for me, all of my files and apps were in my phone, anything lost, and everything is working. I don't understand why, the new rom works good, and no need restoring.
Only the magisk wasn't good. With the magisk manager I had made a patched boot img file from the full rom files. Then I booted the new patched boot img with fastboot, and then the magisk is perfect too. (but in magisk everything had to reinstalling)

02-20 10:06:56.409 2188 2188 E update_engine: [0220/100656.408950:ERROR:delta_performer.cc(990)] The hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value. This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.
So I reflashed system and the update went on well.
Thus you need a computer with adb and fastboot available and stock image from http://en.miui.com/download-354.html of the same version as currently installed.

Do you think a factory reset (done from the attached image) without flashing the Rom could fix the problem?
I had same problem. Something broke when I used Adaway adblocker.
Unlocking OEM with volume down button didn't work.
And than I downloaded this image http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.3.0....0.PDLMIXM_20190114.0000.00_9.0_e8d8d4a6d0.tgz
This is January image.
All other images here are for months before. 10.0.3 is Jan, 10.0.2 is Dec and so on

Unzipped with 7zip this image
_________________________________________
step 1: install adb and fastboot. ( On windows follow this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2588979 )
enable the developer menu on your phone (launch settings, go to system->"about phone" and press repeately on build number)
from the developer options ( launch settings, go to system->"about phone"->developer options ) enable adb and allow bootloader unlock
connect the phone to your PC and give adb permissions to your PC. here I used in cmd
Code:
adb devices
so it would ask for permission from PC
turn off the phone
reboot by pressing power + vol down
_________________________________________
Then with adb in recovery I used:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
then i repeated step 1, becouse of factory reset with unlocking oem
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
if i got A i used A in next string, if B, i used B, where ? is used
Code:
fastboot flash boot_? boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash system_? system.img
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Rebooted phone and
then I updated, and everything worked as it should.

No, it will not: Data partition is not being checked during the update process.
What you can do:
(a) try to find out the reason why the update is failing. It is as simple as starting adb logcat during the update and watching through strings containing update_engine for "error" or "fail" words. Then you will know for sure what is wrong in your phone.
or
(b) reflash your current android version with flash_all_except_storage.bat (if you are under Windows) or flash_all_except_storage.sh (if you are under Linux) script which are part of the whole package http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.3.0....0.PDLMIXM_20190114.0000.00_9.0_e8d8d4a6d0.tgz
Most likely you will be able to download and perform the update after this.
or
(c) wait for a few hours: Xiaomi must grant a download link for February 10.0.4.0 version at http://en.miui.com/download-354.html and then do what is in (b) option above with the newer version. You will get updated system right away. Or at your own risk use a dump of this version that someone has already provided (find the link above in the same forum).
Wish you success.
