Need help: Pixel 3XL

jkdsl1

Had grapheneOS on pixel 3xl and needed to return to stock. Have done this before with other phones, so I just did it, however, I forgot important step :( I forgot to remove "non-stock key" before I flashed stock Google. Of course flash failed, now I cant get anything installed, even graphene. Any ideas???? Thank you

You don't need to flash back GrapheneOS. Remove the non-stock key, and then flash stock Android.

You can still flash stock Android, even of if you had not removed the non stock key. The fact that the flash failed has nothing to do with whether you removed the stock key or not. In fact it's not even that important to remove it. Unless you want to sell the device, then it's a good idea.

Thanks for the reply buy I mistakenly flashed Android before I removed graphene key. Installation failed. Then I finally got the graphene key removed. Now when I attempt flash to flash stock google, it fails - does not contain product sig - sending product - failed invalid argument

Do you still have the Pixel 3 XL GrapheneOS intallation files by chance?
I would like to install it even though it is EOL and not secure, I still believe it is the most secure option for that device and would rather have GrapheneOS than stock for the limited offline use I plan with it.

I would think DivestOS"s 3 XL support would be more secure?

@V1nc3nt88 The Pixel 3 XL will be highly insecure regardless of OS choice. This is completely unrelated to the original topic of the thread. Please avoid bringing up new unrelated topics in threads.
