I installed e/OS on a refurbished Pixel 5 that was running Android 14. The process using the web installer seemed to work flawlessly and ended with the message that installation had been successful and e/OS would now start up, which would take a while. However, the phone is stuck in bootloader mode: “Can’t find valid operating system. The device will not start.”
Only afterwards I read here that you’re not supposed to downgrade to a previous Android version with e/OS.
Is there anything I can do?
Mind you I’m not an expert user, but happy to thoroughly follow instructions at the level of the Easy Installer.
Thanks so much for your advice!
