Hello all,

I'm new to the whole rooting scene with my Pixel 3 and found myself stuck in fastboot as a result of this Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/how-to/guide-patching-boot-img-magisk-canary-t3964359. I realize that's because the firmware was old.

I then followed this video to reset everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQmK5KwN5dk.

However, I am still stuck in the loop. I can now at least get to recovery mode but it just brings me right back to fastboot. I could really use some help getting my phone working again

I was able to get it to move further by putting in the boot.img but now I get stuck on what I belive is the rescue screen. It says at the bottom of my screen "waiting for rescue commands...". I found online that it will now take adb commands but when I reboot or anything of the sort it just takes me back to the beginning

Put it into fastboot mode. Flash the full factory image with the flash-all bat file. But first edit the flash all bat file and remove the -w near the end. That will save your data.

When I downloaded the files from the google site all I found was flash-all.sh. Is that the same?

When I do fastboot flash flash-all.sh, I get the error "cannot determine image file name"

So I re-extracted everything and found it. Kept getting stuck but now the reason it is saying I'm in fastboot is no valid slot to boot. Any advice?
