Pixel 4a: After successful EasyInstall phone freezes with Google Screen at start

Hi there!

I just bought a refurbed Pixel 4a and installed eOS via EasyInstaller. It all seemed good and after the first time I saw the jumping eOs logo, the screen showed the white Google Background and after rebooting/turning it off/on it won’t go further than this Google Screen.

Any ideas? Would be very grateful if you can help.

I have a Pixal 4a. I am not sure where you are stuck. Could you maybe provide a picture?

The procedure for me is as follows: ‘Warning message unlocked bootloader’, Google logo (not white screen) then jumping e logo, then the home screen ls shown.

Also are you able to go to eRecovery?

Hi mihi,

the procedure for me is: Warning message > Google logo (on white screen, that’s what I meant) and then it is stuck there.

Pressing Volume down + Power works, I can go into recovery. Already tried a factory reset but didn’t work.

Hmm, maybe try a flashing it again.

You could use sideload from the eRecovery. You know how that works?

No, I don’t know. I can look it up via search engine or if you have a good HowTo, feel free to send me a link.

I did the steps in the HOWTO via recovery-e & adb sideload and then i try to flash the “e-2.7-u-20250109460549-community-sunfish.zip”. When I hit the reboot-button it says

“WARNING Previous installation has failed. Your device may fail to boot if you reboot now.”

After rebooting the phone still shows the google logo and is stuck there.

I had success with this app.

You will also need this TWRP recovery.

IT WORKED :heart_eyes:

Thank you all for your support and especially thanks to vernr! Your solution worked finally!"
