Newbie. Tried to install from Windows 10 desktop using Chrome and web installer and bricked my phone. Not sure what to do next. I went through all the steps. It downloaded the tokay install. When it finished downloading I hit flash release and it came up with "Error: You need to download a release first!" I ended up with a little dead Android icon on the screen and machine wouldn't do anything. Couldn't even turn it off.
Okay, I just looked at my phone again while writing this and it appears to have recovered and reverted to stock Android and has factory reset.
Maybe I'll try from a Lenovo laptop with Windows 11 and brand new USB C to C cable that came with the Pixel. (Desktop didn't support USB C.) Any thoughts on what I did wrong? What I might do differently other than above? Thanks.
