[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cmorin543:
I tried rooting my Pixel 3 - - OEM Unlock, bootloader unlocked, got into TWRP, but for some reason couldn't access any files on the system to install a zip. I tried wiping the file system to start from scratch and that didn't work. I then rebooted multiple times and fastbooted back into TWRP -- I had found a thread saying to change the file system type if you couldn't see the internal storage in TWRP -- I think that's where I went wrong. After I did that, I could no longer fastboot into TWRP. I tried downloading a factory image from google and fastbooting the recovery with no luck. I even tried the guide here : https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/guide-progress-available-t3876849 to un-brick without success. I performed the erase commands "fastboot erase system_a

, fastboot erase system_b, fastboot erase boot_a, fastboot erase boot_b, fastboot reboot-bootloader then running the flash all command and the results below show and still unable to boot:
