I tried to check it today. It seems that it removes the app completely from the device. For example, I removed the amazon shop app, and I observed that some disk space on my data partition was freed, and I could not reinstall it with 'adb shell cmd package install-existing' command. Unfortunately, in many cases the 'adb uninstall' command simply did not work (it ended with a delete fail internal error - perhaps the reason is that I my device is not rooted and I do not have enough permissions to remove these apps). But in these cases the 'adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0' command still works (see the other thread on debloating for details). As I understand it, the letter command does not really remove the app (and the app still occupies the disk space), but the app no longer runs, so it consumes neither ram memory nor battery. For me it is enough.

But without twrp I don't think there's a way to retain root, I think you'll need to go the route of patching the boot image with Magisk. But for data just remove the -w switch from flash-all, that should be the same.

Will it retain root or do you mean - https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Have to re-root using the Magisk method. Put stock boot on phone, patch boot with Magisk, put modded boot back on computer, and flash in fastboot. AFAIK, there is no way to retain root. Every time you flash the latest monthly patch, it flashes a new stock boot. Therefore, no root.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
There's a way with taking the ota through settings I found out how from a user on here which is:

Once received the ota , go to magisk first uninstall/restore images then download/install ota then DONT REBOOT, go back to magisk install magisk to inactive slot from the app then reboot and all should work with new ota update and have root still.

You missed the part where I did try flashing the image. I've done this a hundred times, so, I did it right.

Anyway, I got it. I didn't realize my work computer had a USB-C port, so, I grabbed one and tried flashing the image with that. Worked! Thank God... I guess sdk tools doesn't like a USB 1 to C cable, and my phone doesn't like going into recovery...

If you are rooted flash the boot.img of the factory image you are currently on to both slots:

fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img

Then Do #4 'keep Data'
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
I am starting to feel more and more like a lot of the bootloop issues are being caused by OTAs swapping slots on install. Besides the --slot all patched boot, it might help to run the OTA twice to get it to install to both slots completely. Preferably though, quit using OTAs and work with -w removed flash-all installer (and even then possibly installing to both slots with an active slot swap in between and before rooting). The double install is common when installing custom ROMs, and the process for OTA sideloads is pretty similar.

I ALWAYS install monthly patches by flashing the image on BOTH slots. Using set active command to switch between slots. Never had a single problem on Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL and now Pixel 3 XL.

Set slot A active. Flash_all slot A. Reboot.

Set active slot B. Flash_all Slot B. Reboot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Yep, I went from an OG Pixel and Pixel XL to the 3 and 3 XL. I don't do the double flash every month, but any time I need to completely wipe or have been playing with Custom ROMs I do it. I actually did a flash-all (including -w) to both slots when going from 9 to 10 since I had been on custom 9 ROMs right up until the change back to stock rooted for 10..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ffchampmt:
Successful update to October patch using the full image with -w removed.

Used r29.0.4 platform tools, used magisk manager to overwrite stock boot image (I did this before update), flashed system, full reboot, back to bootloader, flashed magisk_patched.img to --slot all, reboot, profit.

edit to add: the crazy pixel stand flashing screen seems to be gone!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iamjimmy:
Makes sense. Maybe I'm paranoid. But I do generally flash both slots (-w removed).

The second flash is very quick. So it hardly takes much more time. And although it is superfluous, there is less probability of anything going wrong.

I used to flash custom ROMs before. Especially PureNexus. They had a good system of flashing on both slots. One time I maintained one slot WITH Root and the other WITHOUT Root. And then used TWRP to seamlessly switch between both when needed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DOMF:
Is it necessary to use --slot all when flashing the patched boot.img? Since upgrading to 10, I've only done

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

and it's worked for me every update. Is this going to bite me in the ass later?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] David B.:
Does this trick work when going from the September to October builds?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ffchampmt:
No it's fine to just flash the default active slot. I had a bad flash going to 10 and the - -slot all fixed it, so I've been doing it as a matter of practice. If it works it works. Shouldn't be any issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
Yes it should, but since I was impatient waiting for the ota I just ended up flashing the factory with out -w then fastboot magisk and all good

I actually did it rooted with Magisk, installed thru OTA flashed Magisk to inactive slot. Worked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c_86:
This is the 2nd month I've had an issue flashing the flashall.bat

I remove the - w and start the process but then during it boots to fastbootd screen and fails. Nothing I do gets me pat that and fails.

Running latest tools too

I had to do the adb sideload ota to get to the most recent.

This happened for Sept and now October.

No idea what I am doing wrong here. When I installed Android 10 I did so from a clean install. I had custom Rom but wiped everything and did an install with the - w intact.

Thoughts?

I got the same OTA yesterday. Just October security patch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rifraf1:
It did the same for me as far as going to the fastbootd screen, first time that ever happened, but if you wait and are patient you can see that it is doing the update in your command prompt window (provided you are using Windows). Once it finished it rebooted itself into the OS and all was fine. I did notice a "zero-length img" message while the script was running maybe this is causing it to go to the fastbootd screen, could be a fix for that persist.img file.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Feels like there is still a partition issue. I know you said you did one with the -w intact. I too was coming from custom ROM to 10 and did a factory reset and a -w intact install to both slots (with a manual slot swap in between) just to be extra clean.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c_86:
I wish. The command prompt shows failed and press any key to exit

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] David B.:
Interesting. When I tried to do that just now, the installation worked, but I started bootlooping. It did this a few times and then kicked me back to the other boot partition.

Try this: change a cable, and/or change usb port.

Mine worked after I changed to another USBC-USBA cable. In my case the cable I have to use USB that is not capable of fast transfer (3.0, the blue color thing), the ones like from xiaomi powerbank charger.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
As another person said, change your cable. Mine worked fine on P, but with Q, every time I tried to flash, it would get to fastboot d and fail. Thankfully, a sideload fixed me. Yesterday, my phone did this again, and so I tried a C to C cable on my computer (happened to have one with for once), worked no problem. Not sure what is different in 10 that my one cable stops working, but yeah, it works again now, so, whatever.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I updated the same way I always do with no issues. The only difference I've found has been since the latest Magisk version I just have to open Magisk Manager and select unroot before I update. Not the full removal, just the restore images option. After that I flash the OTA in stock recovery and then root using the regular Magisk method. Takes maybe ten minutes and all is well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KaneHusky:
Apparently flashing the October update over the August update (I skipped September) was a really bad idea. My phone is pretty much useless without a factory reset now. Play Store keeps force closing, won't download any apps (hangs on 'Waiting for download...'), browsers force close when attempting to download apps, Photos won't display any of my pictures and won't save any new photos from the Camera app. Seems like some sort of permission issue but resetting app cache/data doesn't help. Completely borked! Just what I wanted to spend my entire day doing; re-setting up my phone. Thanks, Google! :rolleyes:

This could just break things more, but perhaps try installing the September update and then follow it up immediately after with the October one?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KaneHusky:
No luck flashing an older version - fastboot fails.

Seems like pretty much anything I do that involves copying from or writing to the internal sdcard causes whatever app I'm in to force close without any warning or error message. Tried transferring files off the phone to a USB drive (via FX File Explorer) and it just force closes when trying to copy files. I'm having to use adb to copy off all my data.

It was the go-to script for flashing and took care of both slots. I couldn't believe it didn't exist for all the other A/B's when I jumped to Crosshatch. I was certain it was multi-device. I miss having that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Looking through the app script (quick cursory look mind you), it does appear to be device agnostic assuming it is a pixel device. What I'm not seeing is exactly how it is attempting to preserve user data (like removing the -w in the flash-all). I'd love to see all the pass/fail scenarios and test cases with results. Looks like a nice piece of kit, but the QA side of me is hesitant to use something that I can do manually unless I ran or at least reviewed the test cases.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ktmom:
The flash-all script updates using the Fastboot update command and the -w flag (format user data) is hard coded in the script. That's why you have to edit the flash-all script each release to remove the flag.

Deuces script, flashes the individual partitions "manually" (without using the Fastboot update command) then asks you if you want to format user data.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
That makes sense. Funny that he uses "flash-all" in the script name.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KaneHusky:
I eventually managed to get my phone working correctly again. I cleared user data for the Media Storage app and that seemed to fix all of the media "permission" issues after a reboot. Upon further research, the issue with Play Store not downloading anything appeared to be a known issue with the betas and it would eventually resolve itself. After I resolved the media issue I let the phone sit for a while. Indeed, it finally started downloading app updates. Ahh, fun times! :silly:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
Can you give us a further explanation? It sounds like you don't have TWRP at all ( I know it doesn't work). I'm still on the August image with working TWRP and root. You open magisk manager and unroot; then you flash OTA in stock recovery and then root using "regular" magisk method.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Once you unroot, you can take the OTA using your phone in settings. I only flashed the OTA because my phone wasn't receiving it yet. You then need to place the stock boot image on your phone and use Magisk Manager to patch it. Transfer the patched image back to your computer and flash it in fastboot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
Thanks; I'll give it a shot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
I gave this a shot last night. My magisk manger (7.3.5) doesn't give me the option to unroot at the bottom. It says uninstall; when I hit that button it gave me 2 options, "restore images" or complete uninstall." I chose restore images and it restored the stock boot images; I was able to flash the OTA fine; however, when I then attempted to patch image with magisk manager, the app kept force closing. So i uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, patched factory image and fastbooted the patched image and now everything works fine.
