Smoothest Beta install ever. I dirty flashed the whole image (removed -w from script to keep data) from June Android 10. Everything so far seems to be perfect. My banking apps are working just fine. Also appears that I do not need magisk to certify the playstore (bootloader unlocked obvs) for Netflix to update. It's appearing just fine for me in the Playstore.

Hi, I am pretty good at flashing my phone but I am lost about something. If I try to flash like I have always done using adb, the phone will boot loop with that "device corrupt" error.
But if I flash using the Android Tools from developer.android website the phone will work just fine.

I would prefer to install myself using adb so I can root, have twrp, etc. How did you flash the beta?

I assume of course you are unlocked. Manual flashing Google phones is super easy. Be sure you are doing the full system image and not an update package. You also need to fully remove magisk if you have modules enabled. That's important, you will bootloop. If you just are using it for root without any modules, you don't have to do anything, just reflash it after it's done to reinstall (it'll keep all your SU requests from before).

I won't get into adb setup or Windows, because I use Linux and its so simple it hurts. I just edit the install script (for Linux that's the flash-all.sh file) to remove the wipe command, and fire up a terminal: adb reboot bootloader, then while in fastboot just type: ./flash-all.sh The windows command is similar with a .bat file, but how you execute it is different - that's for someone else.

That's it, the terminal and fastboot handle everything else. It's the only way I'll do it, as you can see everything that's happening and/or any errors that arise.
