Google Pixel: amzn.to/3SGnjk2
Easiest tutorial. Appreciate your precise and simple steps. Took under 10 minutes to get it done. Thanks mon.
oh man you save my life, I flash my pixel6 pro and Google logo loop, and see your videos ,yes,very easy to follow,now my phone renew again
That's great!!
Same thing here, took it to the phone store and they said they had NO idea what to do. This guy's a life saver
I've been interested in trying GrapheneOS but the one question I had was if/how I could go back to stock if it didn't work out for me. So many of the guides covering the OS don't cover this point so thank you for doing so and doing it so clearly!
I'm glad it's helpful!
THANKS MAN I WAS REALLY REALLY WORRIED CZ MY PHONE WONT BOOTUP BUT THIS VIDEO HELPED ME ALOT
I was searching the option to remove the Pixel experience. This site is awesome to restore the original rom and lock the bootloader. I restored Pixel 3 with the help of this site. Thank you.
Came back to your channel to comment on your other video asking if you could make this exact video and found you'd already done it! Thanks for this! I will return to graphene but I simply wasn't ready for it just now, my workflow was too google orientated. I need to change my workflow and then return to graphene.
I'm glad it was helpful! I figured folks may need to go back and forth a few times, I know I have!
I'm glad you did this video and I was able to find it. I'm getting ready to install CalyxOS on my Pixel 7 Pro and wanted to make sure I could restore it back to factory in case I ever want to sell it. Thanks.
Yeah finally someone mentions it... Because I was thinking... If your trying to hide from the NSA or some nation state actor it's very possible that the low level baseband and sim operating systems can still track you or activate the camera etc since everything is integrated you would have to build your own IC's to circumvent this lol.
Your videos are very informative, and the way you present the info is laid back and easy to follow. I might give Graphene OS a shot down the road, but in the meantime, could you go through how you would set up the phone to be as secure as possible while still Googelfied? Thanks again for the informative videos.
Thank you! And I'll give that some thought! I suspect it may be quite difficult, if not impossible, if only because Google logins are so embedded in the OS that unless you have created a brand new account and ensure that you don't ever log in to any other systems that are tied to your actual identity, it will be virtually impossible to have a functional device that allows you to get things done the way that you need to without revealing everything about yourself. The other issue is that while you might turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, these functions are not likely actually respected by the OS itself, same as web and search history, location history, logins and downloads, etc. I've actually set up my Pixel again with the stock ROM temporarily just for work (a video will be out tomorrow about this little detail in GOS) and it's clearly impossible to remain private in this OS. You cannot sign in to one app with one account and another app with a second account without indicating to the second app that you are also the first account (terrible wording, but I hope that's clear!)
Again, I'll give it more thought, but I'm not certain from a privacy standpoint there's much to be done. As for security, however, stay up to date with apps and the operating system, and make sure you use a great password. To be most secure, don't use facial recognition (easier to be spoofed) and any time you are on a traffic stop or at an airport, restart your device (disabled all biometric authentication, ensuring better security)!
You saved my life but I am more insterested in flashing the Ubuntu touch on my phone sadly I would need Android9 but custom rom anyway Graphene OS would be fine the issue I had is I sort of deleted the original os completely so this should fix it thanks..
I just used this method to revert my Pixel 2 to stock so I can trade it in. So much easier than crossing my fingers I run the right command lines. Thanks!
thank you for this i was stuck in a loop trying to install a custom recovery. you sir are a lifesaver
Glad I could help!
You are a life saver my man! Great video. Straight to the point and easy to follow!
🤘😎
I just bought me a new fone before I seen this video. Can't return the new one since inuse but ill definitely try this method in the am. All positive reviews as well. I'm crossing for my luck thank you brotha. From MAUI HAWAII 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
You can also do this if your device is corrupted and the reset won't fix it restoring the Image will reinstall android
@@sandrocks8816 will this make the system storage less ?
Thank you!! I love all your videos. and this one saved me so much grief. Thanks for doing what you do!
I tried to root my pixel 4a and got softbricked and this was the most clutch tutorial out of it. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you. I've learned a ton from your videos.
I'm so happy to help!! Thank you!

For security reasons, you need to enable "OEM unlocking" in order to flash your device. See the device preparation instructions for more information
Unfortunately in my country i can't buy Google pixel 7 pro, So im planning to get it from outside my country. But i have heard that the 5G networks on this phone officially doesn't support all the networks on the planet, so is there is a way to enable the 5G network unofficially?
That's an interesting question. I'm going to assume not... It doesn't mean you can't flash the baseband if the radio channels exist on the modem itself, but it appears that (at least the US one) supports:

So if you're looking at a device locally, I would check out if one of these will meet your carrier's needs and verify the specific model before purchasing, but unfortunately if the bands or frequencies aren't built in, it won't be possible to unlock them.
Your pixel modding coverage is good 👍🏽
I have a pixel 6a which is stuck on the Google loading screen as the stock os for some weird unknown reason got corrupt. Data factory reset does not work. So i came to this video to flash the stock firmware however it will eventually say" device unlock disabled, for security reasons you need to enable OEM unlocking in order to flash your device. Sigh what do I do now ?
Bro OEM Unlocking means you need to unlock the bootloader to be able to Flash the firmware. You did not follow the instructions correctly my guy! Let me know if you need still help fixing your 6a

@@talebsaad7246 so how do you unlock it on recovery mode or fastboot mode
Keep up the good work, sir! Thank you!
Explained very clearly... Thank you so much!!! just what I needed... :)

Hello,i have a google pixel 4Xl that i have never done anything"not rooting,no unlocked Bootloader,nothing,"I bought this Phone from amazon in 2020.The pixel was Locked On verizon and it was unlocked.The phone works on all network But when I go to use the e-sim it only allows me to use a verizon e-sim.i need help please. Can i use the android Flashing tool to remove the os and reinstall the new os to get rid of only using a verizon e-sim
Did it work???
I flashed graphene OS yesterday. I flashed it because they said just about everything would work that I'm used to as Long as I installed their Google services. None of my banking apps work. Which is a huge issue for me. So now I'm going back which sucks because I actually liked the granule nature of permissions
Bro thanks for that great tutorial ❤
my google pixel 8 pro is stuck on a screen with a battery icon and lighting bolt inside of it. cant do anything...
Thank you, thank you!! This was so helpful
Hi
I tried but it shows some warning like it cannot done due to need permisson but how can i give enable permission if i have a locked device
Thank you. You helped me bring my pixel back.
Cheers! After finishing watching some of your Graphene related videos I wanted to ask you a question which is :
I have a Google Pixel 6a, it is unfortunately MDM'd, I can only but use a workaround like APK Pure to not rely on Google Play Services but I am not convinced that it's safe and I do not want this device perma locked/ bricked.
So, after checking a looooot of your comments, I came to the conclusion that installing GrapheneOS would at least grant me some liberty for my device, but, is it possible to install GrapheneOS, overwriting the stock ROM and bypass all MDM measures ?
Hello! The MDM software may block developer options or the OEM unlocking, but if not, absolutely. Erase and restore GrapheneOS and you're free!
@@CozyLivingMachine I see, I have to find a way. Thanks for the quick reply though, have a nice day!
@@spacegodmurderDid you found the way?..
I have flashed my pixel fold from beta to stable build without wiping, now i have black screen and in device manager it says "pixel rom recovery" what to do?
My man, you are the best !
I need help, every time I try to reboot the software the cell phone turns off. My cell phone turned off when doing a bad update of the device. I was never able to activate Developer mode
Does your carrier get unlocked if we do this?
I have a perhaps out of context question about your video. have bought a used pixel 6 with locked by mdm. my question is by reinstalling the factory rom will it remove the mdm lock?
My pixel 6 pro resets completely 2 hours after logging into play store. All other services work except play store. Will the tool restore that ?
Can i use this method to Unlock Carrier, my Pixel 4a is locked to Verizon carrier and where im from we dont have Verizon Carrier.
Unfortunately not, that requires a specific code to unlock the cellular modem, this won't help. I wish it would, but it might be worth chatting with Verizon and explaining the circumstances to see if they'll help!
Thanks for the excellent video. My Pixel 6 in Fastboot mode does not have the Ünlock Bootloader" option in the menu on the right, and I do not know how to unlock the Device. I would appreciate your help, please.
question:I just want to reapply the stock rom on my pixel with the latest build. Can i follow the steps?
I am running stock andriod 13. locked bootloader.
u saved me bro thank you so very much all my respect to you
Really useful video. Very many thanks.

Hi. I have a pixel 5 that's stuck in fastboot mode, and the developer option was not enabled before it got stuck. Is there a way to get this out?
Tutorial of the year
Hey Joel, I too de-Googled my Pixel 3AXL and it just didn't work out, but it was easy to reinstall Android 12. My question now is in 2023, some apps have updated to past Android 12 and they're no longer compatible. I was wondering if you could advise if you think flashing Android 13 would help that situation and would you use a custom ROM and if so which one? I really don't know too much about custom ROM's and if they'd fix my out of date phone issues. Thanks!
what will happen if middle of the process electricty gone or cable loose ..is the phone will be dead ?
my pixel 6 device (raven) is connected but 'install build' on selecting default is showing in grey. What to do?
I have a Google pixel 7a and i tried following your steps but i get this error and don't know what to do
Fastboot command (flash:bootloader_a) failed: 'error getting device locked state -1'
Selecting a different build can help???
Android 13 may be. The phone came with it but wanted to put 14
i tried graphene but i didnt like it so im trying to go back to the original rom, turns out that i had to install android studio just to the pc redcognize my phone, i dont know how i lost the phone driver but this wasnt this easy for me.
and I have't in options oem unloked , what am I doing?
pixel 7 "bricked" and when I connect to my pc says "Pixel ROM recovery" can I do something? This video work to unlock the phone?
hei how to unlock bootloader .. i can't switch on my phone..it just stucks on google logo
does this thing will wipe all photos that not backup?
is it possible to restore factory rom without enabling debug mode?
You skipped the part explaining how to unlock your bootloader. "Hold the power down button."?
Can you do Googlepixel 4xl installation. Or should I follow the same step instead
Regarding cell phones, quick question for you... Now that I'm retired, I would like to minimize my expenses. I pay $ 250 for a Verizon cell phone plan. Is Mint Mobile a good carrier ? They have packages starting at $ 30 per line
Congrats, again! And $250/mo. That is ROBBERY. S%&@! And Mint uses the T-Mobile network, which is what we have for our internet and phones, and it's pretty fantastic, VERY fast. I'd say give it a shot. Worst case, switch carriers, but we haven't had issues. MUCH faster and more consistent than Verizon in my experience!
Thank you !
Good morning ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Good morning!! Are you prepared to flash a custom ROM yet? 😂 I believe in you!
@@CozyLivingMachine 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂😂😂
Does your pixel 7 feel 🔥 hot? I have used both the 6 and 7 and these phones seem to run hotter than other androids. Just wondering what's been your experience.
Mine gets a little warmer while charging, but not during my normal use that I've noticed. I do usually have a case on, but I don't feel it otherwise through the display, if that helps.
Oh man thank god it only happened because of a wrong update. Now that I have updated my phone again to Android 14 beta version it is working great.
Hello, my pixel 6 is in boot load loop mode, can it be possible to on it without loosing the data in phone? Can you pls help if any idea?
Is it working on pixel 4 xl android 10 to upgrade to android 13?
In my device, it shows Device Status as Error! how to fix that
Thank you.
How to resolve it says
Flash Failed
Your device appears to be in use by another program (for example: command line adb).lf you use command line adb you may have to run adb kill-server. Closing and reopening you browser may also help resolve this issue.
Try restarting your computer and phone, there's something getting in the way there!
Hello , I have problem on Google pixel 3a which is shouting unstopped sound
I am trying to flash pixel 6a because it has bootloop problem and I am not able to turn it on completely to got to settings and turn on OME settings . in your video i saw a popup which say unlock your device state . When I am trying that popup is not coming . COuld you please help me "how you got that popup from google".
That's frustrating! The pop-up to unlock the bootloader comes automatically from the Google flash site. During that process, it will acknowledge the device, download the firmware and OS, then it will automatically prompt you on the site itself when you should unlock the bootloader. It will walk you through everything that you should need to do!
Outstanding video. Concise and very informative. Thanks! Would I be able to use this method to restore the stock ROM from a Ubuntu Touch install on my Pixel 3a? I read that a UT install rewrites the partitions to a Linux file format.
Thank you! I would think so. It does the reformatting and repartitioning as part of this process. I'd be willing to bet it should have no problems!
Will this work for the 8 Pro?
Will this method work i OEM unlock is greyed out in setting?
What happens if it says OEM unlock error
Thus far its going great just one problem though, my pixel 3xl keeps restarting even when i put it in fastboot mode. kindly assist with instructions

I followed some other doofuses video on how to install Graphene OS, and he left out that CRITICAL detail, until the part where he said that once you click "Flash Firmware" on the Install page, that's when you loose all data.
1:04
Also, this doesn't work for everyone; you may have wanted to mention that in your video.
What if your device state is in "error!"?
I can't flash as i get flash failed with this message:
Fastboot command (flash:bootloader_b) failed: 'error getting device locked state -1'
Same here any solutions?
Thank for the informative video👍
My pixel 6a failed to flash just because oem unlocking can't be enabled. Any assistance please

what to do if android flash doesn't see my device while i'm in fastboot mode?
i'm doing it on pixel 3
Hey, i find your video very informative. My question, is it possible to do this on Pixel 3 from Verizon?
Thank you so much. 🙏
Thanks!! Yes it is, though you may first need to have Verizon unlock the device to allow OEM unlocking. There are other videos about that to make it easy on you!
Mere phone se emei number null ho gaya hai flash se hoga kya
my pixel 6 pro was not on developer mode before boot failure
Thank you so much! I was finally able to get my Pixel restored with this! Graphene was a mistake honestly and I do not recommend.
I'm glad you're back up and running! I've been loving GrapheneOS, but I can certainly understand it's not for everyone, for sure!

What do you do when it says device state error?
Thanks!
hello :), If when I try to return to factory mode it asks me for OEM unlocking but my phone is locked and I don't activate this option, is there any way to skip this OEM?
Unfortunately, nothing that I have seen. Just for the carrier to unlock it. Sometimes, switching carriers can make sure the phone gets paid off!
How to remove retail mode from pixel 6 please ?
So I mistakenly flashed a wrong ROM on my Pixel 6a, how can I rectify this?

One more question it says “you need to enable OEN unlocking” in order to flash your device but it stuck on fastboot mode so how do i unlock it?
Hmm. Typically you'd need to be in the operating system or reset the device, enter the OS and then you go to Developer options > Enable OEM Unlocking there!
@@CozyLivingMachine im not able to do that since its already stuck on fastboot mode
Hmm. And you already tried the GrapheneOS page? I would try the next step and see what happens. Otherwise something like this might help: droidwin.com/restore-google-pixel-5-stock-firmware-fastboot-commands/
Just bought an "unused 🤦🏻♀️" pixel 5 off some dude, but it actually has some custom rom installed. Fastbootmode doesnt come up for me automatically and the website says to download android usb driver. Someone with actual experience told me to just return the phone while i still can and not risk trying to restore google's operating system. I think whats installed is AOSP on redfin. Thoughts? Good chance of makin his work or trust my friend's advice? Absolute noob here obv 😢
Try it on Linux. Windows is awful with drivers
Can i use a chromebook to do this or do i need an actual computer?
Chromebook works just fine!
