Google [Solved] adb sideload ota failure

[hstroph]

Greetings, following the "Updating instructions" at Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers , adb sideload has met with failure. The downloaded OTA for the Pixel 6 meets the published sha256sum.

(Laptop)
$ adb devices
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
21101FDF60063S device
$ adb reboot recovery
$ adb devices

Apply Update from ADB is selected
(Laptop)
$ adb sideload oriole-ota-bp2a.250605.031.a2-e6a8072b.zip
Total xfer: 1.00x
(Pixel 6, in RED)
Warning: Previous installation has failed. Your device may fail to boot if you reboot or power off now.

Without rebooting the device, I have repeated the steps after re-downloading and check summing the OTA, with the same results.

Will someone help me fix this problem, please?

I downloaded and unzipped the factory image, then edited the flash-all.sh file to remove the "-w" (wipe) option to the last line "fastboot -w ..." invocation, then executed the flash-all.sh script.

I used to just type adb sideload and then drag and drop the apk into cmd
