Pixel 5 stuck in Fastboot Mode

Using /e/OS Setup
16

Hi everybody,

Problem is solved. Thanks a lot!

I use another PC to perform the adb sideload and it works. It seems to be an issue with the USB port.

So here are my steps:

  1. Access the fastboot mode on the phone

  2. Launch those commands:
    fastboot flash boot boot.img (from LineageOS)
    fastboot flash dtbo dtbo-e-1.16-t-20231017342511-stable-redfin.img
    fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot-e-1.16-t-20231017342511-stable-redfin.img
    adb sideload ../e/e-1.16/e-1.16-t-20231017342511-stable-redfin.zip

The process stops at 47%. This seems to be well-known. The phone shows that the 2 steps are OK.

  1. The recovery ask me to reboot to perform another install. I choose yes and then get back in recovery with “Active slot: b.”. I didn’t need to do fastboot —set-active=b.
    So I then relaunch:
    adb sideload ../e/e-1.16/e-1.16-t-20231017342511-stable-redfin.zip

  2. /e/OS boots :+1:

  3. I lock the bootloader and disable OEM unlocking as indicated in the guide: https://doc.e.foundation/devices/redfin/install

6/ /e/OS 1.16 is here. I’m happy to use the OS and Murena services from this device

If you encounter a problem with an adb command or file transfer for instance, try with other USB ports, cable or a different PC.

Thank you again to all of you for your help and advice.
