im stuck on the actual installation, it was stuck on sending “aop_b” before and now its stuck on “modem_b”
My pc os im using is linux/cachyos

any help would be appreciated

Perhaps a USB connection problem where the cable (or PC) cannot handle the data throughput. Check your logs … are the points of stall the biggest transfer so far? If yes would tend to fit.

The script aims to flash both slots “flash a + b or abort” … hence a fail as above is unreported by the terminal.

Look at the whole USB chain. It has been reported that certain USB will not carry fastboot commands or complex fastboot commands. You will need a good quality (full capacity) data cable, so not a thin, skinny cable.

Avoid USB hubs including any USB hub that might be hidden in the PC / laptop.
Avoid a USB-C to USB-C cable as it may be provisioned through a hidden hub.

For predictably good results check (if necessary with a manual) that you are connecting to a USB-2 port soldered to the motherboard.

Maybe also worth mentioning that this may be to do with how the PC handles hyperthreading. I notice that many similar manufacturer “flash all” scripts will allow one or two sleep 5. This might stop the machine continuing to process too many jobs at once.
