Installation Problems

GPUser

Hi All! When obtaining the factory image, I am getting an undefined error. Phone is a brand new unlocked Pixel 8. Computer is a new macbook with Sonoma 14.5. Using original cable that came with the phone. Tried Brave (with shields down and latest update) and then installed Google Chrome. Still throwing the same error. Any suggestions?

I added Graphene into NEXT DNS as an accepted website just in case this was throwing it. Any other thoughts or suggestions? Not using a VPN.

GPUser when does it occur? Right after starting the download or does it download for a while and then cancels?

GPUser you listed some common things that might cause issues, so maybe this isn't it, but are you using incognito mode? If you are, try again while not using incognito mode.

GPUser

splattergames At the very end after most of the file was downloaded

GPUser that mostly sounds like a network issue. Can you try a different Wi-Fi or if you have an adapter, ethernet?

GPUser

splattergames Thank you for your suggestions. I have tried the installation on two other networks and the result is the same. However, it froze sooner for the other networks.

And @other8026 I am not in incognito or private mode.

GPUser well, that's interesting. You could try to install via CLI, as long as you can download the image completely of course.

GPUser

splattergames OK. I will try this, although I am a bit nervous about doing it correctly.

GPUser there is not much to do, just download adb+fastboot, download the factory image of GOS, unzip it, enable developer options on the Pixel 8 and OEM unlocking, run ./adb reboot fastboot in the same folder where adb and fastboot is in Terminal. When it reboots, run ./fastboot flashing unlock and confirm with the buttons. Then run the install script from the unzipped folder with bash flash-all.sh and let it do its thing. Finish with ./fastboot flashing lock (from within the adb+fastboot folder Terminal window) and confirm again, done. Don't worry too much, it's just as easy (for me at least haha).
If any problems or questions arise, just ask. I am chronically online and will help.

splattergames Thank you! :)

Ok. So I am trying to install graphene via CLI. I downloaded the image for a Pixel 8 (folder named: shiba-install-2024102400) and then entered in the prompt in my terminal:

curl -O https://releases.grapheneos.org/pixel-install-8.zip

and then entered:

ssh-keygen -Y verify -f allowed_signers -I contact@grapheneos.org -n "factory images" -s pixel-install-8.zip.sig < pixel-install-8.zip

I am getting:
No such file or directory
Could not verify signature.

What could I be doing wrong?

splattergames

GPUser you need to download the .sig file from the releases page I linked above and place it in the same folder you have your install.zip in (most likely Downloads) to verify the zip.

GPUser

splattergames I have done this. But, I am getting this error:

~ % ssh-keygen -Y verify -f allowed_signers -I contact@grapheneos.org -n "factory images" -s pixel8-install-2024102400.zip.sig < pixel8-install-2024102400.zip
Couldn't parse signature: missing header
sig_verify: sshsig_armor: invalid format
Could not verify signature.

I noticed that the files that I downloaded from the releases page are titled shiba-install-2024102400, rather than pixel8-install-2024102400 as specified in the code. Do I need to change the code to say "shiba" instead of pixel8?

splattergames

GPUser I will check it out. Will take a few minutes to download the image, so bear with me here.

splattergames

okay, everything verified fine for me. Here's the terminal output, so you can follow better.

splattergames Wonderful. Thank you. So I did need to change the file name to shiba. Did that and was able to get it to work and I was able to install and run Graphene. Many, many thanks for your help! :)

GPUser awesome, always glad to introduce people to the "CLI side" of things! Have fun with the greatest OS ever built :D

GPUser

splattergames I am looking forward to working with it! :)
