Hello!
I have been attempting to install GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 4a 5G. I have tried with different USB ports and cables but still no luck. Every time I try, it gets stuck on “Restarting Device…” with the phone showing the “fastbootd” screen. Anyone have ideas?
Install Stuck on “Restarting Device…”
Ok nevermind, I found the problem. There’s a connection issue. I have tried with multiple USB ports and cables, and I have had a broken USB-C port before so I pulled the phone apart and replaced the new one with the old one. Nothing changed. I think the board may have some issues. At least this is just a project, and not my main phone!
AAPpain It's still possible there was an issue with the installing device's USB port or the cable. Cables often implement the bare minimum of the USB spec for charging and data transfer and don't have everything needed to install from them.
If you have another Android device to flash from, you may have more luck trying that.
