Factory image cannot be extracted

milkytoast

Ive tried with both winrar and windows extractor, both say the file is corrupt. I did skip the "Verify the factory images using the signature if you were able to obtain signify from trusted package repositories (see above), otherwise continue on to the next section without this:" as the command wasnt working for me. On windows 11, pixel 6.

Then it likely is. If you flash bad bits you can brick a device.

Try a different machine? Maybe yours is infested?

Or are you maybe out of space? Flakey DRAM?

Anyway, do not just press onward.

Great!

Just curious: which cable didn't work, and which did?

de0u factory cable worked, some other cable didn't. I figured the other one would be fine bc it does file transfer, guess not lol
