I had installed Ubuntu touch on my Pixel 3a, but during an OTA update the phone got soft bricked.

I am able to detect the phone through fastboot devices (using Ubuntu computer to access phone).

Tried installing sargo stock image 3 times, but without success. Still get the "no valid slot to boot" error.

Sharing the ./flash-all.sh run code below. Look forward to guidance. Thanks !

  • Have you tried to set manually the active boot partition like fastboot --set-active=b? (b because based on your log the stock firmware seem to be installed into slot b, you can also try to set it to a) – Robert Jan 21 '24 at 14:41
  • I did the first 3 tries without specifying the slot (the installation itself happened in slot B). Then tried Slot=all, but that too did not work. Will try --set-active= b and try again. – Deepak V Jan 23 '24 at 06:36
