Dears,
I just wanted to let you know that I used your automated tool to install IodéOS on my Pixel 6 and that it HARD bricked it. After trying to install the OS, I got a « corrupt device » message. It then booted twice (fastboot loop, I guess) and then went black… From my understanding, this means I am now stuck in EDL mode and there is no way (that I know of) to awaken my device again and to perform the install. Of course, I tried every key combo I found on the internet. I also held the 3 of them pressed down for as long as 3 minutes (then I got cramps in my forearms, lol). The screen remains black and there is nothing I can do. The device is still detected as a USB Serial device (COM3) when I hold the start button with it attached to a Windows 11 PC. But this is sadly its unique sign of life…
I was easily able 2 years ago to successfully flash my Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS. After recently listening to Rob Braxman (great guy) talking about you I wanted to give a try to your OS. This seems to be an awesome project (moreover I’m a native Frenchspeaker) so I wanted to take part to the adventure. I know that the risks of the installation are to be bore only by the phone owner but I’m now stuck with an unusable phone which had been working very well so far…
Is there maybe, to your knowledge, a way to recover my phone ? Of course, except sending it back to awful squidish G**gle… I’ve been reading threads on the internet for the last 2 days (o.a. How To Guide - Guide: Unbrick Pixel 6 Oriele or Pixel 6 Pro "Raven" | XDA Forums ) and there seems to be no solution available to the community to unbrick the phone…
I’ve already ordered a new phone but I’m now hesitating to risk again bricking my phone… This doesn’t mean that I’ll go with an official ROM though, lol.
Any advice from you guys / the community ?
This being said, I still want to thank you for (and I’m admirative of) your involvement with this project helping us protect our privacy in this ever-more-intrusive-digital-world-of-ours.
Take care !
Cheers
Pierrot
