Good morning @Mathron. Incomplete logs are of no use in helping you, but fun for trolling :joy:.

Ouch the insult to the injury

Hey @Mathron,

I donā€™t know if this will help you nor if we have/had the same problem regarding eOS and the Pixel 4a, but here is what I did:

  1. I installed all the stuff on my computer for adb/fastboot.
  2. I downloaded the TWRP image that vernr posted here (twrp-3.7.0_12-0-sunfish.img) and put it in the same folder as the adb/fastboot.
  3. On my phone I switched into the fastboot mode (you can access it via the regular eOS bootloader) and after activating it, I ran on my computer in the console ā€œfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.7.0_12-0-sunfish.imgā€.
  4. After that I could continue with the OpenAndroidInstaller.
