Hey

I am trying to flash the factory image for Google Pixel 3.

"blueline-qp1a.a190105.004-factory-49adfd52"

I had some issues with fastboot at first. But after updating adb/fastboot I got passed them

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40

Version 4986621

Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

All seems to be working fine: This is my cmd:

./flash-all.sh

And then it just stops. Had it running for 1600s+ the first time. Tried again and now it has been staying there for beyond that time.

Thanks
