The pic looks crappy, hard to read on my phone but from what I can see it looks familiar to other folks. Read through that same thread and search for the slots not supported thing. Also post this same thing in that thread. It still might be a cable or USB issue though. Also do a Google search for that same slots not supported. You will prolly get some xda references also. If I get near a PC I'll do some searching also.

It sure sounds like you have a driver/USB cable issue. Your device didn't even respond to a basic fastboot command. Try a 2.0 USB A to USB C cable like these for starters.

You mention you had TWRP installed? If so, you could adb push official OTA zip and flash it with TWRP. I have done it a few times. Or if you have a flash drive you could use that too. You can find the full OTA zip where you got the factory images.

Why you gotta "badger" me?!:p When you gonna stop, after 50 times?!;):silly:

That's exactly what I had in mind -- and did mention at the bottom of my post. But the only reason I don't suggest it just yet is because OTA's are a bit (or maybe exactly) like "dirty-flashing", and as such, I'm worried the OTA will build upon/over the "corrupted" foundation of the existing current system and set up. I would feel better and more confident in that method over a "stable" system and structure...

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Thanks for getting all those back to me/us. It surely has helped. At least you made a bit of progress!:good::highfive:

Okay...so a couple things....

first, my apologies. I forgot to mention that my whole guide was based on Windows OS structuring (I'm so mad at myself for forgetting this...it's caused a bunch of misunderstandings and issues; sorry again). I've looked into it, and you don't need a driver for MacOS. and hopefully you got the windows version of platform-tools. Also, I had forgotten that you couldn't get into the phone's system, so apologies about "rebooting" and all that...

So, after all that and knowing all that now, some changes; first, make sure you have the 6 files you extracted from the Full Factory image (.zip) in "C:\Users\Jan\Desktop\Taimen Revival\platform-tools" -- specifically the "bootloader-taimen-tmz12g.img" file, it not being in there is the primary reason (in most cases) why you'd be getting one of the errors. Also, and this is probably

most key

, if you're running MacOS (or Linux, I believe), you don't use the "flash-all.bat" file; you use and edit the "flash-all.sh" file! Again, you see why I am so regretful for not clearing it up that my guide was based off of Windows (which is all I know and use). So try everything with that new cord and using flash-all.sh instead of flash-all.bat . Please, again post what your command prompt returns...good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jan_ruc:
So:

1. I'm running Windows 10,

2. All the files from the zip that I downloaded are extracted in "C:\Users\Jan\Desktop\Taimen Revival\platform-tools". You can see that in the screenshot I posted in a previous post.

I tried running the flash-all.bat again and got this:

fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot

rebooting into bootloader OKAY [ -0.000s]

Finished. Total time: -0.000s

fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot

fastboot: error: failed to open zip file 'image-taimen-opm2.171026.006.c1.zip': I/O error

Press any key to exit...

All the files are in the folder so I tried running this:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-taimen-tmz12g.img

Result: fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot...

It runs through it twice than says "Failed" and "Press any key to close..."

I somehow managed to get TWRP back on and at this very moment of me typing this I was waiting for the OTA to sideload.

It works. I have no freaking clue how the hell did I manage to do it but it works.

I'm done guys xD.

I love you all, all the support that you guys gave me is just incredible. This is one of the main reasons I bought this phone. The community. YOU guys are the pillars of something great. I lost my words. I don't know what to say, really....

...THANK YOU ALL SOO MUCH <3 :victory:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
While I'm happy for you, and commend your persistence, it still bothers me that you can't get fastboot working properly for updating factory images. Something just isn't right, yet you can sideload an OTA through twrp:confused: Driver and cable issues still stand out to me. But as long as your happy, then all is well. BTW, you can actually flash the OTA zip in twrp vs sideloading if you are so inclined :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jan_ruc:
Thank you :P I truly am happy, I had to use my Nexus 6 for the last three days and while I love that phone and the software on it battery is just plain garbage. Happy to have Pixel working again.

About fastboot... It actually worked pretty well, but I'we gone thru the output of fastboot getvar all and realized all the partitions were RAW, except for DATA and something else that were EXT4 and EXT2.

I think that might of been the problem...

See I know I technically could flash a image in TWRP by just selecting "Install", locate the image and install it. See... That "Locate" part was kinda tricky since it was practically broken. I could not upload any files to the phone even with "adb push" even when it worked it really just didn't. (Upload usually failed at ~45%...)

So I tried sideloading the image. And victory! I was able to install a factory OTA so Android 8.1, and later updated it back to Android 9 :)

Believe me. I'm way more confused than you. But hey it works.

Also I did use fastboot with my Nexus 6 a while ago... Although I did update the platform-tools as I was told to, could it be that the Nexus driver was interfering with Pixel?

Again, thank you all!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I don't think the N6 driver is an issue. I still have my 6P drivers along with my P2XL and haven't had any issues with updating either phone. However, it might be worth a try to clear out everything, reboot the pc, and install sdk and the drivers again. Then again who knows. At any rate congrats on getting it back up and running :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Sorry...I looked at some of those screenshots and it didn't look familiar as Windows 10 to me...my bad...

In the end, I'm glad [MENTION=6448375]Nochis[/MENTION]'s and my advice worked out for you in the end!

But I am with Badger50's concern. It echoes what I said a few posts back...

I'm worried that you might be building & working off an "unstable" foundation. I believe it would be in your best interest and best off if you try and get the Full Factory to successfully flash and "install" to your device -- you wouldn't even lose any data by editing the "-w" out of the flash-all.bat command. [cryptic warning] Heed my words; if you continue on a system that was corrupt and somehow was able to restore via an OTA flash instead of a Full System, somewhere down the line/road, there will be an instability or glitch that will cause you problems and may make things unrecoverable because of the things built and stacked up from this "broken base"...

But in the end, I have to offer at least my congratulations to your success!:victory::highfive:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
My guess would be that you may be using out of date platform-tools... what version are you using? make sure you are using the most up to date version (I believe it is r29.0.1 last time I checked...).

Also, if you aren't, make sure to use a USB-C to USB-A cord; and/or even trying out any other random cord and/or USB port... as long as the Pixel 2 has been out, there's been countless times that issues arise with one cord, and not with others (USB-C to USB-C seems to be the only one that constantly gives issues and does not work...)

If you are sure that you are on the latest version, can you do me/us a favor and see what returns when inputting the command

fastboot devices

and

fastboot getvar all

*you might have to tweak the code as I use Windows and don't know how to input the right syntax for MacOS/Linux...

Good luck and hope this helps...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I tried 29.0.1.

And I tried multiple cables, even on a different laptop which has Linux. It's as if the device is only half visible.

When connecting to a Nexus 5x, the Linux laptop succeeded finding it using "./adb devices" .

I actually didn't use the USB-C to USB-C cable. Usually I just can't. I don't even remember where I've put it. I use the normal USB-A to USB-C cables.

And it worked fine just minutes before trying to flash.

Running "./fastboot devices", I get:

42YM178N09346 fastboot

Running "./fastboot getvar all" I get a longer result. Attached here.

Please tell me it's not a lost case... :(

I've just read now that Google stopped the update, probably because of updating issues:

https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/cbjifg/android_q_beta_5_now_available/

EDIT: OK bought a new USB-C to USB-C and connected to the laptop .

Now it flashes. Hope it will ends well.

EDIT: yes. It works fine now.

I don't know what you would have suggested next, but this solved it.

Or

Then

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] arturo108:
Hi all, after the latest update my OP5T 8/128 turned into the worst Huawei on the planet. It started to be sluggish, lagging and frustrating, chance clearing didn't help

1- When a notification appears and I click nothing happens. This is the most odious feature update brang in, especially when it relates to maps using for public transport (do you know), but also for downloading files (I click and the app doesn't starts). Moreover if I start manually it isn't updated, and restarts after a few moments;

2- The caller is sleeping, I click on a contact and I have to wait times until the call starts! It's similar to the fact I wrote on previously, like if the phone doesn't receive clicks.

3 - when I click recent apps (and there are apps, I never close them) nothing appears. If I repeat the process casually then they come back.

4- the switcher changes modality after minutes I swinged it to... You can imagine what it caused at a working meeting...

How can I solve these issues? I don't want to root this phone, but I want to back to his Armageddon times! Please help me!

I cannot get it to even load forums in the search period on the IDOL 4s. Am not sure why. Hard reset, restore from backup, app reset nothing works. It just sits there searching for the forum with a white screen. I have seen this type of behavior in the past but it was only a delay in the forums populating on the screen. This time nothing ever shows in the search.

On the Lumia 950 XL or other devices I have mTalk already running on it works fine. XDA Forums, Windows Central Forums, etc.

Edit: I got it to work on the IDOL 4s. This was after eventually picking a back up to restore that must have actually had a good complete backup set of mTalk. The app in this case did not need to be setup and opened directly to the last settings it applied at the time of backup.

Try flashing from EDL (test point) mode. What Redmi 5A are you using? You bought it from China or International version?

If you bought if from China:

1. Download China Stable fastboot firmware (Don't worry, you don't even need fastboot for this). https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/9105/

2. Download 7-Zip: https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1805.exe

3. Install 7-Zip

4. Assuming that you have and is already using a computer, right click the firmware then click 7-Zip and click "Extract Files..."

5. Go into the extracted folder and extract a file with the .gz extension

6. Download MiFlash: https://xiaomimiflashtool.com/d3kc

7. Install MiFlash

8. Open the folder where the firmware is extracted.

The files will be shown like this:

9. Copy the file location in the address bar
