Official Flash Commands Script

Hi Guys, Thanks for asking for help, since the 1929-4 models along with others from the Z3, each of them have a SLOT A/B that can have images flashed, in Recovery of TWRP, if you select REBOOT, you will notice your normal options at the top and the extra SLOT Options on the bottom. What you can do is select either one and apply the flash commands listed below. The Flash Commands A and B of the text file writes and sends the firmware images to those slots, you had it correct, its the SLOT Letter (A/B) that has to be applied at the end of the first character. That will get you up and running. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you need additional information.

Hi, my Z3 play has a Bootloop I tried with hard reset and still not working. It's XT1929-6 dual SIM, can someone help me ? Please
Have you tried just flashing "fastboot flash boot_a boot.img" or "fastboot flash boot_b boot.img" Don't forget to read your service files, they detail out that you must select which slot to flash your images to.

Jumping in here since I had a good time flashing my retapac XT1929-8 this evening. A/B partition devices are a pain.. My Z3P was stuck on the May security patch, and nothing beyond the launch build had surfaced for the poor XT1929-8 until this week - build 70-47-5 with the November patch finally showed up in the lolinet mirrors.

The above post from Moto X Pure XT1575 is very helpful. Few notes to add:

If you are attempting a manual fastboot flash of this device, you're going to want to crack open the zip file and take a look at the servicefile.xml as a first port of call. This lists all the partitions that are to be flashed with the firmware you have. You do not want to flash everything to both partitions.
Mine notably required everything be flashed to the A partitions EXCEPT for system_other and oem_other which needed flashing to system_b and oem_b respectively.

So we end up with:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash gpt_a gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader_a bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem_a NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg_a fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth_a BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp_a dspso.bin
fastboot flash logo_a logo.bin
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash system_a system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system_a system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system_a system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system_a system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system_a system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system_a system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash oem_a oem.img
fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

End result: Device upgraded from May to November patches, userdata preserved (interestingly enough).

Is it possible to apply all of the Moto z3 updates via the sd card? Or, on a phone I have applied all updates to, is there a way to clone that phone to other phones of the same make and model?
Thanks for any suggestions...
