Hi all,

I tried to reinstall GOS after being back on stock for a while. I downloaded the factory release via the web installer, but it came up with an unspecified error and i could not progress further. The phone was borked and needed to be reset via the google OS installer.

I tried to download the fatory image manually from the repository (Pixel 8 Pr - husky 2025032500) and it got to 99% and failed.

Not sure whats happening here. The only thing i can think of is that my work PC is preventing the download somehow via security.

Apologies all, it seems that WAS the issue.

I dusted off an old chromebook, which just about had enough legs to open the web installer and its flashing to my phone now. Just might take a while longer but at least i get GOS back !!
