I´m new to /e/ and I want to install it on my google pixel 4a. Unfortunatly the phone has made an update to Android 12. In the instruction it is written that the latest stock OS version 11 must be installed on the phone in order to install “sunfish” (https://doc.e.foundation/devices/sunfish/install). Now I was wondering if I can still install “sunfish” on the android 12 google pixel 4a phone?
I followed the instructions, but when I try to flash the image there comes an error report. Now the phone doesn’t start anymore… do you have any ideas? I can send a screenshot from the command line, if this helps?
I hope it helps I could also try to download a different factory image… But I’m really new to all this and most of the commands I could find online were not helpfull in my case… thank you so much again!!
I don’t have sunfish, I have redfin Pixel 5 but it has to be similar, although the log looks slightly different.
First off, did you verify the image after downloading with the checksum?
It looks like the process got interrupted and the phone didn’t boot into fastbboot d at the end of your log. There was still quite a way to go at that point.
Sometimes it could be the cable not up to the job (try another) or the socket on laptop. Or you might have knocked something at that point and upset the process.
So basically make sure the image is good and cable ok and run the script again. You should see the phone reboot itself into fastbootd at the point your log ends and just sit tight until it’s finished. Confusingly the terminal output says finished a few times…but just wait and it should reboot automatically when finished and then you can unplug.
