trying to remove grapheneOS off my phone

nat255

I was following a youtube video and the guy in the video messed up a few times and it threw me off and I messed up and now I cant complete the install of android.
I keep getting this msg when installing, keeps saying failed and I 100% have space also the phone is at 100% battery.

Are you using incognito mode? Not sure about the Google flashing tool, but flashing GrapheneOS can fail for a similar reason when using incognito mode.

nat255 since your bootloader is unlocked, couldn't you use the GOS web flashing tool (don't look up how to do it online, just use https://grapheneos.org/install/) and get your phone to a usable state, then reinstall PixelOS using Google's flashing tool?

Have you tried to remove "non-stock Android Verified Boot key"?
https://grapheneos.org/install/web#replacing-grapheneos-with-the-stock-os
After successful removal you should be able to use https://flash.android.com/ or https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection
I am on Pixel 9A and go back and forth a lot creating instructions for myself.

In all honesty if you can get GrapheneOS working correctly then I would keep it, one of the best Android OS'S IMHO.

WildsBits na graphene is not for me I just wanted to give it a try. I've been using it for 3months has a daily os and its really bad for me. also I don't care much about privacy etc and I feel that im trading privacy for convenience and I using social media. I don't like getting notifications only when my phone is unlocked also I get notice 30-2 hrs late >< ughh. theres a LOT more reasons.
btw I have graphene on two phones pixel 9 and 8a and I've decided that im gonna sell pixel 9 but I cant sell it with graphene, it will be hard to find a buyer. I don't like the boxy feel in my hand and If im using graphene then I wont get to use a lot of the new features pixel 9 offers, its only available for android. pixel 8a is the best feeling phone I've ever held. long story short im gonna sell the pixel 9 and keep the 8a and yes Ill be removing graphene on both phones

Have you tried https://grapheneos.org/install/web#replacing-grapheneos-with-the-stock-os?
You are at the correct screen the phone is unlocked.

nat255

WildsBits yes Ive removed it. not sure what it does tho.
if im having this much of a hard time then it might be really hard to remove it off my other phone><

WildsBits

You have to complete that step to be able to go back to stock OS.

WildsBits

Super easy now to go back to stock.
you should be able to use https://flash.android.com/ or https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection

You made sure your hard drive on your computer has enough space and is not full?
What browser are you using?

nat255

WildsBits yes i have enough space and im using chrome

fid02

nat255 yes i have enough space and im using chrome

How much available disk space do you have on your computer – on the main system drive?

Also, which operating system are you using?

Your network could be unstable. You can also try Ethernet. Try downloading this file as a test run (same as what Android Flash Tool was trying to download). Make sure to use the same browser you were using Android Flash Tool in.

Also make sure to disable all of your extensions. You might have some anti-tracking one installed. Also verify there is no policies set on chrome://policy.

fid02 about 50 gbs of free space and I use a tablet to download graphene to my phone. I tried using my computer but it always gives me problems also I use linux. Il try it again on my windows pc
