Flashing a Pixel 6a - Stuck at bootloader mode

Eirikr70

Hello, I am in the process of flashing my newly acquired Pixel 6a. I have updated the OS, unlocked OEM, booted in bootloader mode, but can't find "Unlock bootloader" menu. Proposed menus are :

Restart bootloader,
Recovery Mode,
Rescue Mode,
BarCode,
PowerOff,
Start.
Any clue what step I have failed in ?

Eirikr70

Ok. Been through the CLI process. It was easier for me.

So have you managed to flash the device and the issue resolved?

Eirikr70

Yes. It works fine. I'm learning step by step how to use GOS at best with two profiles. I just hardly understand why you all have a profile with Google services, it doesn't seem to be at all necessary to me.

Eirikr70 could you expand on why you say:

Are you questioning the necessity of Play Services or the desire to keep them isolated in another user?

Eirikr70

I question the necessity. I have everything I need working with nothing from Google apart from the keyboard with no privilege (and AOSP of course).
