Web Install does not work

MineralWater

I try it on Windows 10, Chrome Browser.
I made all updates, made a factory reset, unlocked oem in developer options, installed the pixel driver and rebooted into fastboot mode.

When i click on unlock bootloader, it just gives the message "Error: Failed to execute 'requestDevice' on 'USB': No device selected." No further information how to solve this.

Any ideas?

MineralWater Is it a Pixel 6a? Those require a factory reset after doing OS updates before attempting to flash GrapheneOS.

I had the same problem (the web install failed) in a similar environment (Windows 10 with Edge installing on Pixel 6a), but in a different place (rebooted into fastbootd on device, then failed because it couldn't access a directory that it just unpacked from the archive). I tried and it failed in the exact same place 3 times. I ran the manual installation directions on the same device using Powershell and it completed flawlessly in maybe 5 minutes. Try that and update whether it was successful or not.

Thanks for your replies.

I finally discovered what the problem has been-i do not have USB-C on my computer, so i used the cable that came with the 6A together with an adapter i had, that was the reason why nothing worked.

I bought an USB A to C cable and that worked pretty good.

My first impression is really good, sadly it seems not to get VolteHD and Wifi Calling when the network is bad, but that is not a problem that belongs to GrapheneOS, the same behavior can be observed on the stock rom.

What makes me wonder a bit is, i get this "not an original firmware" (or something like that) screen when booting the phone, but that dissapears and then everything boots normal. Did i do something wrong or does everyone get this screen?

If you're getting the yellow boot screen that says "Your device is loading a different operating system" and then boots normally, that's 100% expected and normal.

Thank you, then everything seems to be alright. I finally figured out how to handle the battery restrictions, before music streaming always stopped after a while when the app was in background. Its not only the battery unrestricted option, also the other one who revokes permissions etc needs to be off. Now it looks like everything i need works.
