*Some of this response is update\context. I bolded + italicized the stuff that is the most pressing questions I would need answered before moving forward for convenience !
de0u Have you tried a safe-mode boot? I don't think it will work, but you might as well try.
I have tried to get it to go into safemode boot but I can't, the steps to get to it seem to just take me to fastboot.
de0u To sideload an OTA image, you will need install Android command-line utilities
This links to the GrapheneOS installation guide. I couldn't find a download for Android command-line utilities download in there. Instead, I googled "Android Command-line utilities" and downloaded the latest stable version. Is this what I would be needing you think?
de0u How-To Geek piece explains how to get past "No command".
I am struggling to get passed the "No command" screen. I have tried a few different ways and I have not been able to get past the "No command" screen. If you have any suggestions that would be great.
de0u many of them will suggest things your device can't do right now, such as enabling USB debugging and adb reboot recovery
Luckily currently, I believe I currently have USB debugging enabled! Not sure if that helps much since I don't know what the abd reboot recovery is entirely or if its possible in this state.
Ty Ty Ty :)
