OMG! I must be stupid!!! I am trying to flash the factory image.... I am opening a command terminal in my platform-tools folder which is on my desktop (I have put the factory image folder in the platform-tools folder (unzipped)) but when I do the flash-all script I am getting this error..
"C:\Users\Alex_WIN7_PRO\Desktop\platform-tools>flash-all
'flash-all' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\Alex_WIN7_PRO\Desktop\platform-tools>"
What am I missing? It restarts the bootloader when I do this command "adb reboot bootloader"
Read #2, then Redo #4 'wipe data' you skipped something.OMG! I must be stupid!!! I am trying to flash the factory image....

Yes, you skipped something: #4 2 bOK I was dragging the whole folder into my platform-tools folder. Duh!!! Stupid me!
I copied these files into my platform-tools folder...
bootloader-coral-c2f2-0.2-5940465.img
flash-all.bat
image-coral-qq1b.200105.004.zip
radio-coral-g8150-00041-191016-b-5945070.img
flash-base.sh
flash-all.sh
I then type "flash-all" in the command prompt.
and I then get this...

My phone is now displaying "fastbootd" at the top and giving me these options...
Reboot system now
Enter recovery
Reboot to bootloader
Power off....
I waited about 30 minutes or so and now my phone is back on wanting me to set it up from scratch! YEAH!
Looks like I got it... now I just need to ROOT it.
Question: Should all those errors be in the command prompt screen text?
Yes, you skipped something: #4 2 b
If you are referring to the 'does not contain' as errors, yes. Do #6 then do #9 to root.
No. Just do #6, then #9 to root.No I did not edit the script. I checked it and made sure it had the -w in it.
It did erase everything on my phone. I was just concerned about the errors that showed up when I was flashing the stock android system "coral-qq1b.200105.004"
Should I go back and do it again?
I have my phone back up and running. Am I just need to patch the boot file and gain root.
No but I bet it's your screen protector.Off topic... I know this is off topic but I am having serious issues with my tap vibration and the tap sounds. They just quit working.... Not sure what to do. Sometimes my keyboard will vibrate on taps and sometimes it won't. I hope this is not a hardware problem. I just bought this Pixel 4 XL a little over a month ago!
I wonder if I should wipe my phone and start fresh to see if it is a hardware problem. Has anyone else having issues with the tap vibrations and sounds?
Thanks. A factory reset fixed the issue. Can you make this thread sticky?
If you like the thread bookmark it.Thanks. A factory reset fixed the issue. Can you make this thread sticky?
Or go to the guide section and someone has uploaded the boot.img and the patched boot.imgThe guide to me personally is not clear enough when it comes to OTA updates. Can someone help clarify?
If im on Feb and March update has just come out. It would be much easier to just flash OTA update then reflashing a whole new full image right? (unless you want a clean install or other specific reason and dont care about wiping data).
So i just followed the instructions here using adb commands.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
However i've lost root now and im reading that i have to reflash the boot.img (which is not in the OTA.zip downloads and only the full image downloads) So have i come full circle to the realisation that i have to download the full image regardless?
i tried to flash the patched boot.img and i get back
fastboot unknown option -- slot
i literally copied and pasted your cmd prompt command from the original post what am i doing wrong
when i type fastboot flash boot--all with the boot.img file location i get this

My apologies. I certainly was not trying to impugn your knowledge base or technique. I simply missed the SS for the CMD is all. I really don't know what the problem could be since both of the commands that have been discussed, work for myself and others. I suppose the work around would be to fastboot the boot.img, switch slots, then fastboot it again. However, I'm sure that won't mitigate your frustration as to why it doesn't work. I do like the "Vincent Price" retaliation technique though!
Great write up...as always. Is there an way to update security patches and keep root?
No!
You're not alone!.I've just rooted my new Pixel4XL, the process went smoothly, but not passing Safety-net (i.e. ctsProfile is false)
Yup!.Seems Google has reapplied their attestation shenanigans again. Likely a harbinger of things yet to come! ??
