Nice! Another useful tut. Is this procedure applicable for pixel devices with custom rom going back to stock rom or from stock rom (android 12) to stock rom (android 13) only?

both

HELP PLEASE! I started to network unlock my Pixle 8 pro but your video doesn't cover. I got to the point when you connected the computer and realized the download wasn't available. What do I do now? My phone is still connected to the computer.😢

[@munchy_cool]

reboot if you havent started the flashing process

[@SlugabugD-kg4vi]

@munchy_cool how do I reboot? Does that mean reset my phone back to factory settings?

[@munchy_cool]

It worked just back to the welcome pixel screen. I need to find a programs that work to flash this pixel eight pro do you recommend one?

[@affanabid3938]

The previous software in phone will be lost if there comes any error during the process?

[@parvulucian9599]

I guess you could run as administrator the flash-all file without putting the files from the image in the adb and fastboot folder. On older devices it is possible. I'm saying this because, if you have more then one device and if you copy all the files from all the factory images in the adb and fastboot folder, you could run the wrong file by mistake :)))

[@FrenchVaalu]

Hello, I get this error : FAILED (remote: 'command (flash:) is not allowed when locked') It's probably because my phone's boot loader is locked and the oem unlock is greyed. Do you have any solution for that please ?

[@munchy_cool]

yes, need bootloader unlock and i have no solution for greyed out you can do a factory reset instead

Hello Muchy. On Pixel 6a I installed Paranoid Rom and then I can't get out of there. I've installed all the builds from the official page and it always gives me an error in the vendor. I also can't get Lineage Recovery to start when I follow the steps to install it and despite the fact that CMD does not provide any errors, the custom Lineage Recovery does not start. You also teach how to install Proton, but it is not available for Bluejay. So I'm stuck in Paranoid, not getting any of the official Google Builds for Bluejay to install, no Lineage to boot, and no Proton. Could you please tell me how to get out of this impasse? After seeing all the playlist for Pixel 6a, my intention is to go back to original, insert Magisk, AOSP Mods and update by OTA. I am waiting. Thank you very much for your work. All the best.

Please help, I bought a device from Amazon renewd, and it was blocked but I still don't know which provider, if I factory reset it and put the SIM in it, it takes hold without a problem, the problem is when I connect it to the internet because it appears that the card is not compatible with my device that I ask the provider if it can be unlocked, do you think that if I install a stock rom, free from any company Can you fix this error?, Please help 😿
