Hello everyone,
As a passionate advocate for privacy and security, I'm reaching out for some advice and help. About six months ago, I purchased a Pixel 9 intending to use it as a secondary device and gradually transition from the Apple ecosystem to GrapheneOS. I did a lot of research, learned the basics, and successfully adapted to it, which encouraged me to sell my Apple devices and upgrade to a Pixel 10 Pro.
I installed GrapheneOS on the Pixel 10 Pro, while still using the Pixel 9 as my primary phone. My plan was to migrate everything over to the new device, customize it to my preferences, and finally consolidate down to just one phone instead of three. However, before fully committing to GOS, I decided — out of curiosity and just for fun — to check out some of the stock Android AI features on the Pixel 10 Pro.
During that process, I used the "Remove non-stock key" option via the official GrapheneOS site, then attempted to flash via the Android Flash Tool from Google's official site. The tool detected the device, but encountered connection errors, causing the process to fail and abort. After that, I performed a shutdown on the phone. Now it won't power on at all — it only displays the charging icon, even when it's not connected to a charger or a computer.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue and can suggest steps to recover it? Is it possible I've permanently bricked the new phone, or is there a way to revive it? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and support!
