By the instrructions @rik posted I’m referring to these @chrisrg and my CalyxOS Version isn’t the one you said anyway?

"

As I mention in the lead post at the [Unofficial builds for Google Pixel devices](https://community.iode.tech/t/unofficial-builds-for-google-pixel-devices/5233) post:

> For a new installation, you can read up on the LineageOS install instructions for your device, but as a general rule, first install the boot / recovery image using `fastboot flash boot <iode-...-boot.img>`, then boot to _Recovery Mode_ and use `adb sideload <iode-...zip>` to install the actual image.

But, as @chrisrg notes, with the security patch level issues, it may not work well that way, I am a bit uncertain so would be happy for your feedback if you are willing to try it after I get the build uploaded. "

Thanks.
