6a is only showing the google logo on a white background

Helpless_user

I was using google chrome on windows 10 to get graphene os on my 6a. İ managed to unlock the bootloader and download the files. After waiting for a while while it was flashing the images, it gave an error
I was going to give up, so i tried to lock the bootloader but im not sure if it worked. To exit, i pressed reboot when on the fastbootd screen, i pressed “reboot system now” and them pressed the options that seemed like they would reboot. Now, it just has a white background with the google logo on it, it is warm to the touch after an hour of waiting and the installation guide does not recognize the phone.
İs it bricked? Do i need to make it run out of battery or is there another way to recover the phone?

Hello, please reboot your phone into the bootloader interface.

You should start the whole installation process from the beginning.

Please do not lock your bootloader if you see an error message on the Web-installer.

Holding down the volume down button or holding it and the power off button at the same time does nothing. It is still showing the white background and the google logo. It also wont close by pressing the power off button or the volume up button along with the power off button.

Helpless_user Hold the power button for as long as it takes to power off to the black screen, once you see the black screen hold VOL- to enter bootloader.

Report back.

I did it and it went back to the bootloader. I downloaded the release and tried to flash the factory images again. Instead of going to fastboot, the loading bar on the computer is now stuck on “restarting device…”. The screenon the phone says “Your device is corrupt.It can’t be trusted and may not work propperly. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH” next to the power off button there is white textthat reads “ Press power button to continue”

As long as you can reboot into bootloader interface your device is not bricked.

You should start again from the beginning.

You might be experiencing problems with your USB connection. Please only use the official Google cable that came with your phone.

Do you happen to have a MacBook or another Android device with a USB-C port?

I tried to do everything from the beginning on a mac. I got a relative’s MacBook (MacOS monterey), updated its software until it said that the mac is up to date. After updating, i pressed download release since the pixel’s bootloader was already unlocked and in the normal bootloader screen. After it downloaded it, i pressed flash release and waited. Now the mac is stuck on “restarting device…” and the phone is stuck on “your device is corrupt” screen while flashing black for a second periodically. I opened grapheneos’ website on google chrome. I used the official cable to connect the mac and the phone, and the cable is connected to the bottom usb-c port. What am i doing wrong?
