Nexus 10 Lollipop update stuck in a loop - can anyone help

Followed the instructions on my Nexus 10 to load Lollipop. The flash.all bat file ran, complained about missing boot.sig, recovery.sig and system.sig from the archive (they are not there) but proceeded anyway to update my Nexus 10. On reboot, it goes into the Lollipop bouncing balls - and stays there. I can't get past this. HELP!!

I've tried manual (though the script did say it had completed and took ages to blow the main file .--- I get this when I try any but the bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img file...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk>fastboot flash boot.img
unknown partition 'boot.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'boot.img'

The file boot.img HAS been extracted at this point into the android-sdk directory so it's not missing.

Try flashing without the flash-all script. Take a look at this guide for flashing the individual components: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus

Follow the flashing factory images guide midway through the post. Let us know how it goes.

I went through all of this with my other tablet, the nexus 7 and that is absolutely fine. But the 10 is just sitting in a loop half an hour later showing the imagery. If you look at my edited question you can see I tried as your suggestion to blow the individual parts...

Here is the output of the automatic script - I've done this 3 times now to no avail.

All along the Nexus 10 says ok and it cooperating - at the end it reboots - you get the Google 5 twirling colours and thats it - it just keeps twirling...

Ahh same here! Sorry no help from me
I tried to relock the bootloader (sudo fastboot oem lock), which worked but still stuck at the twirling dots.
So sick of tinkering, just want a working nexus device!
