Hello, I’m installing iode on a Pixel 8 Pro using their [latest installer](https://gitlab.iode.tech/ota/ota/-/blob/master/installer/iodeOS-installer-v0.3.0-windows.zip?ref_type=heads) but am having issues. The installer is stuck at the “FASTBOOTD” screen and reports that it is “\< waiting for any device \>” I’ve attached a photo of the screen the Pixel 8 Pro is stuck on, as well as the readout from the installer ![fastbootd](https://community.iode.tech/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6af8a36a0c5b2cd135484ef8b9d621a3c2a90723.jpeg) > Setting current slot to ‘a’ OKAY [0.134s] > Finished.

Can You check your Google/ADB Drivers? See: > [@Pixel 7a black screen of death](https://community.iode.tech/t/pixel-7a-black-screen-of-death/7015/19): > > the other interesting stuff is when a press power + vol down, the device manager window refresh the list in the USB controller category. Same when I unplug/plug the device. It seems to answer a little, but I cannot communicate with it from my win11 computer. Another computer raise a plug infos, the device is reconized as “Pixel ROM recovery”. Any idea ? ---

> [@jayroll](#): > > \< waiting for any device \> This problem seems most common if you don’t have the latest Android USB drivers. Here is a direct link them: [https://dl.google.com/android/repository/latest\_usb\_driver\_windows.zip](https://dl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip) Let us know if that helps. ---

That solved it. What’s odd, is when I checked for drivers earlier in the process it said I had the most recent ones. Should have made sure rather than trusting Windows on that one lol Thanks! ---

Thank you for coming back and confirming it worked! I don’t actually use Windows, so this will give a bit more confidence when I am giving the same advice to others in the future 🙂
