HELP: Request some advice on how to fix this error - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hey Everyone,
It's been a while since I've flashed a phone but I recently bought the pixel 2 and I was having a lot of freezing + restarting issues right from the start. I thought it was probably because the latest December update may be causing issues. Rather than return it, I thought I'd at least try to flash a clean factory image and see if that helped. My phone is a stock Pixel 2 64GB (not tied to any service provider). I first downloaded the latest adb drivers and installed them:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39
Version 0.0.1-4500957
Then I downloaded the latest stock image from the Android website :
8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.011, Dec 2017) - f74dd4fd9c7816a694901b01ba922c5033acb972f5fe5e51630400e4bfb07700
unpacked the zip file
Ran adb reboot bootloader
It loaded into Bootloader successfully
Then ran fastboot flashing unlock
that unlocked the bootloader successfully. Details in first picture:
Then went to the folder in which the image was unpacked and ran flash-all.bat.
Here I ran into an error with vendor_b
Here's the dump:

Now I'm facing the issue in the second screen.
I still have access to fastboot. I've tried to re-flash the image but same error. Can someone please help me here. I can't use my phone anymore.

Make sure you have latest adb and fastboot.
Try different usb cable ,A to C not C to C.
Try changing slots from b to a.

Hi, Thank you for your response. I believe I have the latest adb and fastboot because I just downloaded them off the Google website today.
I currently have a C to C cable but I don't have an A to C
Can you please elaborate more about the "Try changing slots part". I apologize for the noobie questions but its been a long time since I last flashed an image.
Thank you!
#EDIT#
Ran to the store and got a USB A to C cable, downloaded the November 8.0.0 build and tried to reflash and it worked. PHEW!
Quick question, can I try to flash 8.1.0 December build or should I just not take a risk and let things be as they are.?

You can flash 8.1 the same way with no problem or it should already be pushed by ota.
Anyway if you tried and got problem flashing 8.1 you need to update the bootloader first manually by fastboot.

i soft bricked my pixel 2.. can anyone help?

i unlocked the bootloader used twrp to install magisk and installed a custom kernel, all of that went fine, then i decided to try and flash twrp which also worked... reinstalled magisk and kernel etc and it was getting stuck at the google logo,
i then decided to try and uninstall twrp and now i do not get the google logo, it won't go past the bootloader screen, bootloader seems to be functional and is accepting fastboot requests, however, the recovery is not working no matter what option i choose it will always take me back to the bootloader, tried reflashing stock images to get it working again but im getting an error with the bootloader remote command flash error.

Download the factory image for your current build.Unzip.
In flash-all, remove the -w so it doesn't wipe your device.
Ensure you have newest ADB &Fastboot.
While your device is in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
Ensure you see your device serial number
Double click flash-all
That should reflash recovery so you can start over.
NOTE: You cannot flash TWRP, Kernel, and Magisk all at the same time. It causes issues.
Read this thread: [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 (walleye). There are a lot of people that have had issues and have had help solving within it.

Are you on 8.0 or 8.1?
Which bootloader are you on?
If you are in the bootloader, does it have the error line at the bottom?
If you cycle your volume buttons and reboot bootloader, does the error go away?
If the error goes away, try flash-all again.
If not:
From the bootloader, try booting the TWRP image.
If that works, reinstall TWRP using the zip.
Ensure you are using the 3.2.1.0 IMG and ZIP. Mismatching will cause problems.
I think you might have caused an issue when you deleted the TWRP recovery without replacing the stock recovery.
This post here might help.
Replace the Magisk with current version.

You probably have already done it, but ensure you have the newest ADB, that's what screwed me up.
I had the same problem turns out I wasn't using the latest platform tools.
I couldn't do anything. Would boot strait to bootloader. I couldn't even power down and plug I to charge. It would take me to bootloader with an error. I managed to screw up even more by flashing the wrong image using old tools. Then I lost all options except bootloader ( no recovery or download mode).
I feel as long as you have an unlocked bootloader and you are able to use fastboot you shouldn't worry. I'm only saying this because I was scared as hell haha.
I did notice it would try to boot when switching boot slots. But I screwed that up too by trying to flash with old tools. In the end all I needed was latest Platform tools:

It still sounds like you are not using the latest tools. Are you installing the platform tools or are you using the extracted zip?
the script is going to use whatever is installed on your system.
The first thing I did was download: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
I used this image Android 8.1 stock: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-opm1.171019.011-factory-2df1c1cb.zip
I extracted platform tools to my desktop. I opened the file location and did a Shift > Right click - within the folder containing the tools and opened CMD or Powershell( or you can just CD to the directory).
I copied all the commands from the script and ran them one at a time making sure I was using the tools from the zip file and not my system.
and just went down the line.

It still sounds like you are not using the latest tools. Are you installing the platform tools or are you using the extracted zip?
the script is going to use whatever is installed on your system.
The first thing I did was download: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
I used this image Android 8.1 stock: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-opm1.171019.011-factory-2df1c1cb.zip
I extracted platform tools to my desktop. I opened the file location and did a Shift > Right click - within the folder containing the tools and opened CMD or Powershell( or you can just CD to the directory).
I copied all the commands from the script and ran them one at a time making sure I was using the tools from the zip file and not my system.
and just went down the line.

im doing exactly what i'm being told to but i'm still getting the same remote command flash error and the boot slot is set to a it won't let me change it to b
okay i have an update i'm all up and running again everything is fine, turns out i had to download the older version of oreo 8.0.0 from november the latest november update, then i had to download a slightly older version of fastboot and that seems to have fixed it just ran the flash-all batch file thanks everyone for their input
Nice! Now that I think of it I did try flashing Oreo 8.0 before I tried flashing 8.1. 8.0 didn't work by itself tho. So then I flashed 8.1. Maybe that's the trick to fix the partitions.
Thanks a lot

Thank you for the idea of using an older version of fastboot. I somehow screwed up my Pixel 2 and loaded bootloader 59 on it and couldn't update it back to 66. I had the right image but was still using the newest version of fastboot. Ended up with 26.0.2 which was the first version with Pixel 2 support. It can be found here: https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-platform-tools-adb-fastboot-r-26-0-0/
Thanks again! :good:
Unlocked my pixel 2 and tried to root through magisk and kinda screwed it up. Tried flashing older Oreo 8.0 and 8.1 as you guys tried before but now I cant get past the fastboot screen. Whenever I try to load the earlier 8.0 it tells me it requires 8.1 to upgrade. any ideas would help

My dude, you would not believe the hell I went through to figure this out. So it started with me getting the Verizon Pixel 2's bootloader unlocked. I downloaded TWRP onto it, rooted it, and then downloaded a ZIP that would add various modifications to my version of android. Well, I downloaded it, flashed it , and of course it didn't work as intended. Tried finding a way to undo what I'd done (absolutely imbecilic me, I didn't back up my phone WHEN THERE WAS NO SYSTEM IMAGE FOR A VERIZON PHONE YET). I figured the Google images would work fine, but they put you through hell and highwater before they do. I attempted to revert to the current stock image. It screwed my whole system up. Couldn't boot into android, couldn't boot into ANY recovery, etc. It was essentially bricked. I went through countless different errors and threads and forums and files, until I found this one right here. Tried reverting to the old version of Oreo with old ADB and fastboot. Progress, no more error popping up. Then I tried booting up and it stayed in fastboot. Tried then updating to the latest version available from Google as you had and got the exact same line of code. With the OLD ADB AND FASTBOOT and with a file I had downloaded and tinkered with earlier and with the LATEST IMAGE FROM GOOGLE (after your step), I tried it, came up with several "faileds" and other errors, but after the script was done, I rebooted and it got to the boot animation (as it had done before) and FINALLY brought my phone to the setup wizard.
The file I used was this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development/tool-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3725778
Recap:
Download old ADB and Fastboot
Download the latest Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Image
Flash all bat
Download latest Android 8.1 Oreo Stock Image
From there, put the downloaded script in with the image file of the latest available Android 8.1 Oreo Stock Image and run the script.
Should show errors
Reboot once it's finished
Should be fine.
Keep in mind, this was a Verizon Pixel 2 and it worked fine for me. Couldn't guarantee it'd work for you, and there may have even been precursor steps before this post that I took and didn't keep track of that might have contributed to an extremely lucky brick save.
Long story short folks, if you're on an unlocked bootloader Verizon, don't do anything you can't live with for a while until we've got a proper backdoor developed for us.
Read my message right above your original post. Get the image for oreo 8.0 (nov) and use the fastboot version fron the site I linked to. Should have the 59 bootloader. After it boots, just do the OTA update twice. Check the build number and then get that image from Google to root the boot.img file. All good.
Yupp, just used the tool and saved a couple hundred bucks and a pair of underwear. Really is phone saver. And I'm for sure going to wait until a less risky root is available. I was able to flash the tool with factory image 66 version bootloader, just make sure to have tool in the same folder as the unzipped bootloader and files.
I haven't posted in at least 2 years. Wanted to thank everyone in this thread for the detailed troubleshooting. I locked my bootloader without doing the prep work and this saved me from a fiasco the week before my vacation.

I would start by trying a different USB cable and ports. Use an A/B to C cable if you aren't already. Also do a fastboot --version just to make sure you have the latest fastboot. It should be 28.0.1.

Had the 28.0.1 Fastboot version. But switching the cable did the trick. Thanks!

I had exactly this issue.

You need to update adb fastboot.
Is the drive that you have the zip file saved on nearing it's storage capacity? I suspect it is.
They key line in your log is, "Zip: unable to truncate file to 485105848: File too large" You will get this file if there isn't enough room to properly unzip the file completely. It takes up a decent amount of space on the hard drive.

Should not be the issue since nothing was on the phone to begin with, other than the first running system.
My issue was resetting the path in windows.
https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/
If it helps this is what I followed.
Your phone should boot into fastbootd when flashing. That's when I realised it was flashing ok.

It's not the space on the phone. You don't download and install these factory images from your phone. You have to download them to a computer and install them that way. If you computer is short on storage space, it will give the same error when it tries to upzip the factory image during the installation process. I've had it happen to me before and had to clear up space on my computer in order to finish flashing a factory image.
For example, if you have ADB installed on your C: drive and your C: drive doesn't have several GB of storage space available, you will get this error. It won't help if you have space available on other drives, because ADB only interacts with the folder it is installed on. So having 100 GB free on another drive won't help as an example.

That as wll should not be the case or the unzip will be larger than 30 GB? That is the space left on my notebook

No. As long as that space is available on your main drive (see my edit above), 30 GB should be plenty of space. I'm thinking it takes around 5 GB if I remember correctly.

Hi,
so with the last post the update of fastboot worked fine and the flashing went well. Thanks! Stange thing was, it did not work under Linux it stopped at flashing vendor_b (nothing happend for half an hour or so, tried it several times with different Android 10 versions):

Glad to hear you're sorted. It took me a while to work out I just needed to update fastboot. Someone on XDA helped me with it.

I had the exact same problem as you did. I tried different versions of the stock ROM, I tried different versions of the fastboot tool (including sdkmanager --update to get to the latest, etc.). It failed at the same time, every time: "Sending sparse 'vendor_a'"
What actually worked for me was plugging the USB cable into a port directly on the laptop, instead of a hub built into the docking station.
**** you not, worked perfectly. Same cable, same fastboot binary, same laptop, same OS, just switching to a different port did the trick. Don't plug the cable into a USB hub.

Question Flashing error: Invalid sparse file format at header magic

Updated the image on a Pixel 6a today and my eye caught this error. So I flased it again and again the same error? Is this normal? What is it? See log below.
Thanks

Yes, it's "normal". You can safely ignore it. I believe it has something to do with fastboot sending an image in an unexpected sparse format. Seriously, nothing to worry about.
It's funny that I flashed hundreds of times and never noticed it. Maybe I should be more attentive. LOL.
This link is a reasonable description of what a "sparse file' is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file
The errors you highlight seem to indicate the downloaded file's contents doesn't match the file's internal description(s), also included in the download. (The so-called "meta data.")
Perhaps the download was incomplete or had an error. I'd re-fetching the material(s) and if there's a hash associated with the downloaded materials, ensure the hash matches. Sometimes files get mucked up during downloads... it happens.
I've not tried what you're doing myself and, as some are saying, perhaps it's normal, if still alarming. ;-)
I'm 99.9% sure I checked the hash file because I always do. But to be certain, I'll check it again just in case this time I didn't.

Question Android 14 Beta 1 factory image flash fails with error

# Phone Config
Pixel 7 Pro, running Android 14 DP2, Magisk 26.1.
I downloaded the 14 Beta 1 factory image today from the official site, and verified that the checksum matches.
Extracted the zip into my existing platform-tools folder (on Windows), removed the -w flag from the flash-all.bat and ran it. (After connecting the phone in bootloader mode to the computer via USB cable.)
Everything runs fine, until the very end, where it failed to flash the vendor img. Here's the full log -

I noticed that the platform-tools was an old version (33.0.3). So, I downloaded the latest 34.0.0 RC2 from the Android developer site and reran the falsh-all.bat. This time, the flash fails with a different error (I'm not pasting the bootloader / radio part of the log here, as they were fine.) -

Platform tools 34.0.0 RC2 throws this same error when trying to flash 14 DP2 too. Platform tools 33.0.3 flashes 14 DP2 fine.
Anyone else has faced this issue and knows a fix?
People have been having issues with Platform Tools 34 since its release. The only fix I know is to uninstall 34 and revert to installing 33.03. I haven't had any problems flashing the latest stable build on 33.03 and it looks like people have had success with flashing the latest Android 14 beta with it as well.

I get the platform tools from here. The download is just a portable zip, not an installer needing any uninstall / install. I deleted the 34 RC2 download and went back to my previous 33.0.3 download. But through that too, I'm getting this error for 14B1 -
Code:
Sending sparse 'vendor_a' 3/3 (189388 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
14DP2 flashes fine with 33.0.3.
I got this also as did others in the Android 14 thread. I don't know what Google are on. First the platform tools bug which still isn't fixed and now this. I get and fully expect to run into issues within the OS itself, but not even being able to flash the build?
I'll laugh/cry if this also affects the non-pro and even the Pixel 6, but even without that just a single device failing flash seems like a complete amature mistake to have made.
We are all just going to have to avoid the build and hope someone at Google cares enough to fix it, or wee just wait until beta 2 next month I guess, and rely on having to use using OTA updates until then.

I haven't used that before. Does that provide an option to flash without wipe or does that mandatorily wipe the device while flashing?

I only used Android Flash Tool once, but I don't believe it could disable verity & verification...
Did you by chance mean badabing2003's PixelFlasher? I know for sure that that program does this, and it most likely can flash Android 14 as well...

I tried the flashing tool now, but that too kept failing, this time at flashing product 11/12.

But I finally managed to finish the flash on my local. I used a different USB C to C cable (previously I was using A to C) on a different port of the laptop. The file transfer from PC to phone (the "Sending sparse..." parts) were much slower this time (~6 seconds for each part, compared to less than 1 second before). But the flash finally successfully finished. And now I've booted into 14B1.

I was getting the same error so I gave up and manually flashed the developer preview 2 then did a OTA update to get to Beta 1. There has to be something wrong with the build itself to be having this many issues for so many people.
