Sart Did you download the udev rules and followed the rest of the instructions on the page? (assuming you are on Linux)

Yeah I was just about to say that. To make sure nothing else is interfering with the WebInstaller, make sure to quit all other tabs, close all other programs (especially those that might also be talking to udev like RGB software or similar) and make sure that adb isn't interfering. You may run adb kill-server
in the terminal to make sure.
I must sign-off now,
THANK YOU EVERYONE,
can we pick this up again tomorrow?
thank you will try that now.
tried that command i had this message.
cannot connect to daemon at tcp:5037: Connection refused
Sart check if anything on your system is using that port. You can run sudo lsof -i :5037
and post the output (if any).
Edit: probably nevermind; that indicates that adb server is not running in the first place...
nothing came up.
Must go for now.
Sart yeah. That's normal (see my edit). If you want to continue tomorrow, we can make a cut here.
hi, my phone was bought brand new from 'Giffgaff' the phone was in the unlocked state, phone is 2 months old now, 'Google' gave me the bootloader unlock command 2 days ago, so I assume everything is legit.
just connected target (Pixel) phone to laptop /internet via USB cable, every thing fine.
Sart well, we've already established that your bootloader seems to be unlocked. If all else fails, you still have the option to install via CLI (terminal), but that depends on how comfortable you are with the command line.
I assume there's something on your system blocking USB access to the device, it's just hard to figure out from a distance what that might be.
OEM unlocking can not be turned off while the bootloader is unlocked, that's working as intended.
You're on Ubuntu, check Brave isn't installed as a snap. Avoid flatpak too.
Just a quick note from my experience on LInux.
I've always used the CLI install - then there are no questions as to where or if there are issues...
It is quite easy to use... the instructions are very good - just follow the details.
Thank you everyone for your help. You have given me expert advice especially 'Splattergames' (the FORCE is strong with this one).
I have now managed to install GrapheneOS onto my Google Pixel 8 Pro...(HOORAY).
I purchased a higher quality USB-C cable and installed Google Chrome (I then uninstalled Brave & Firefox followed by a reboot).
After I made those changes it went on easy-peasy.
thanks to you Dudes & Dudettes I am now officially a 'Brethren'.
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER...
