I'm flashing a Pixel 5. I've tried using the web interface and the CLI. Both stable and beta. Two different OEM Pixel 5 cables.

The web install goes relatively smoothly, but hangs on super 11/13 - never completes.

The CLI I now have hanging on the same step, but I had to fix some things in order to get that far. I found that fastboot does not correctly terminate the USB connection, and the next fastboot command that is run will hang. I can reproduce this directly with fastboot from the command line by running fastboot getvar product two times in a row. I found that unplugging the USB cable and reconnecting it reset this behavior and allowed the subsequent command to succeed. In order to get the flash-all.sh script to run without interaction, I modified it to add usbreset 18d1:4ee0 before each fastboot command. You can use lsusb | grep Google to find the device ID of your phone's USB cable, assuming it's a Google device. This modification allows the script to run until it hangs on super 11/13, matching the behavior of the browser install.

After ctrl-c of a hung flash-all.sh, running usbreset 18d1:4ee0 and fastboot -v flash super super_11.img (verbose setting) doesn't produce any helpful output. Still just hangs.

The device in question has 117GB of onboard flash, so I don't think we should be running into space constraints here. 126GB free on my laptop. What else can I do to troubleshoot? Are there other releases I can try? A release that's known to be working for Pixel 5? I installed about a year ago on this same device with no complications.

    bitmason The current releases work fine. You have an unreliable USB cable, port or driver that's dropping the connection. Install it from another device.
