hi. There's a few posts along similar lines and i've been over many of them but no luck so far. If it's ok to put my current situation up to see if any one has any ideas would be great. many thanks in advance
windows 10 laptop, up to date
pixel 6 pro (though identical issue is happening with pixel 6 when i have tried that. i am trying them completely separately. making sure device is disconnected chrome options before trying the other phone restarting laptopn etc)
various high quality USB cables used
USB-c and USB-A slots on laptop used
restarted computer
no other programs running
chrome up to date
only one instance of chrome open
only one tab open to grapheneOS
OEM unlocking enabled
connect device
bootloader unlocked
factory image obtained
then when try to 'Flash release'
'Error: Failed to execute 'requestDevice' on 'USB': No device selected'
states no compatible devices found to connect to in the pop window
weirder still is that i get this same message when i try to download the image after unlocking the bootloader. I can download image fine if i have not paired device before hand to do the bootloader, and then unlock bootloader afterwards. but flashing is as above.
can it be that unlocking the bootloader is making the device unpaired and unfindable? is this possible? what am i missing?
Thanks
