Installation Error

senorsarcasmo

Pixel 7, new out of box with cord and fully updated to android 15/ Windows 11 freshly updated

Unlock bootloader was able to see Pixel
Download was fast and easy
phone only turned off/on once and is now stuck on the white google screen
I tried to turn off and then back on and it gives me the "your device is corrupt and cannot be trusted" screen. It does not allow me to choose other options by using the volume keys.
I tried to redo the process from the start but now the bootloader cannot see the pixel.
I thought maybe I could revert back to android and start again, but to do that I need to "remove non-stock key", which also is not working for me.

Help please.

You're likely no longer in fastboot mode, get back there by holding the volume down button as the device boots up. You should be able to restart the process then.

I've been busy with other stuff and didn't have the time to pursue this. I'm now back at it.

Thanks spring-onion, but the volume down key doesn't work, even with a loooong press. Is there another work around available?

senorsarcasmo Unplug the device from the computer, turn the device off, wait 10 seconds, press the volume-down button and keep pressing it while you press and hold the power button long enough for the screen to display something. It should say "fastboot mode". Then plug it in to the computer.

OK,
Computer now seeing device. "Bootloader is already locked" option is not showing on the device when scrolling through the volume button options. It does have "Restart Bootloader". Same thing?

Nevermind. I figured it out. Many thanks for your help!
