Error: Failed to execute 'requestDevice' on 'USB': No device selected.

Device is Google Pixel 7 Pro / Android 13 right now and trying to install GrapheneOS via the Webinstaller
What should have taken about 15 minutes has been eating my lunch for 2 days already!
Performed a factory reset on phone
Developer Tools - check
OEM Unlocking - check
USB Debugger active - check
#1 - connected using phone's USB C cable/connection-- and I see the prompt come up on the phone that the USB debugger is active (only happens when I connect the phone)
Booted device into Fastboot mode and then clicked Unlock the Bootloader - I get error that no device is detected
#2 - I use a USB C to A cable and connect to standard USB port and try the procedure again - same error
I have uninstalled and re-installed several USB drivers / ADB drivers and nothing works.
I need someone to specifically verify and provide ALL of the required drivers - driver name / signer / and version and date that are required for my device (Google Pixel 7 Pro) please and the verified latest link - along with a Device Manager screenshot if possible so I can see how it should appear in the tree one installed.
The sequence of events when installing drivers, reboots, fastbooting , connecting the device in the proper order too please.
One time I connect the device - Windows thinks it is LeMobile and then none of the other drivers show compatible and when I try to install the r13 Google USB drivers - they all show up with Code 10 in device manager even after multiple reboots.

Many thanks for your insight and assistance!

UPDATE I was able to connect the device just fine and Fastboot and ADB both recognize the device -- what no one mentioned is you need a specfic usbWEB driver in order to use the Webinstall - else every command there does not recognize your device as connected -- it would be nice if you would specifically provide a link to the driver required with instructions on how to install it.
So where I am at -- bootloader unlocked and I am using fastboot cmdline to download the factory images -- but the flash-all batch file they provided at https://grapheneos.org/install/cli#unlocking-the-bootloader BOMBS! so now I am stuck with a partially bricked phone! Here is the output from the batch file:

DgtlDiva I'm not too sure since I've never flashed GrapheneOS using the command line. Also, I haven't used Windows in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty.

It seems you haven't added the platform-tools executables to your PATH. I just searched quickly on how to do this on Windows and found this gist: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/wiki/Adding-platform-tools-to-the-PATH-environment-variable

I'm guessing after downloading the updated version, you extracted to C:\adb\, but it looks like the flash-all.bat file changes the directory, so Windows can no longer find a fastboot.exe

Honestly, using the web installer is much easier. If whichever browser you're using isn't working, you can always try with a different browser listed in the prerequisites.

other8026 thanks so much for your quick response.

So I started out trying to use the Webinstaller because it looks so simple -- but that requires it's own driver -- a USBweb driver else it will not recognize my connected device. (I verified that my device is recognized through the command line tool to ensure it was not a cable problem. So I could not even get to the part to unlock the bootloader as a result. They do not provide a proper link or instructions on the Webinstaller page to get it. I have tried the Windows update method that they instruct (WRONG) this installs bogus LeMobile drivers that do not function. SO I had to remove those -- then I tried their link for installing the drivers manually --
So ... long story short -- I was able to go to this website: https://grapheneos.org/install/cli that has instructions to use command line ... I was able to get the bootloader unlocked (YAY!) and then followed along with the rest and got to the part where I need to Flash the factory images that I downloaded but yes I think there was a problem with the path that caused the issue -- and I found out I was supposed to use Powershell instead of regular CMD line prompt....
I am going to the beginning of this instruction now to see if I can resolve where I went wrong.

NOTE: It would be most helpful if instead of just providing links to download sites that give you the zip files saying "latest drivers" -- if someone would specifically document the Publisher, INF name, version, release date so we know exactly what drivers we should be using for both Webinstaller and command line.

I should mention when I tried the Webinstaller I was using latest version of Brave browser with Brave shields down

DgtlDiva

EUREKA!!! I finally figured out my problem does a Snoopy dance :)
I switched to using Chrome browser and was able to complete the entire install using the Webinstaller!
So my advice is to remove Brave from the list of compatible browsers in your documentation for this purpose as it demonstrated itself to be crap.
Onward and upward now -- I am sure I will have lots of future questions on other topics :)
...stay tuned !

I did the browser install a week ago, took couple of tries to get it too work, various usb bugs
Had problems in brave with the shields down.
Finally I was able to get all the way with edge, think it also caused issues to have two webinstallers open at the same time.
