While attempting to flash the recovery on my pixel 6 it failed with these messages
recovery footer is wrong
recovery signature verification failed error 21
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.

Sounds like the recovery images are not matching the device.
Double check Pixel 6 = oriole
I once ordered a Pixel 5 and it was some time before I realised it was in fact a 5a!
I am not too sure how to check for the right image, if that is the problem?
To find your device codename you can run this command in the terminal of an adb enabled PC with you phone connected via a usb data cable (and "USB debugging selected in developer options)
adb shell getprop ro.product.device
Thanks, Well it seems like i am definitely running Oriole on my pixel 6 but i just cannot side-load the ROM. it keeps failing with the words
recovery footer is wrong
recovery signature verification failed error 21
I have tried ```
adb sideload /home/nunya/Desktop/recovery-e-2.2-t-20240718417775-dev-oriole.img
I even tried version e-2.1-t but i get the same result.
Any ideas please?
Thanks Piero.
You do not sideload a recovery.
I think you should be following Install /e/OS on a Google Pixel 6 - “oriole”
fastbootIn that case step 9 in the oriole install instructions is wrong?
On your PC type begin adb sideload. Type the below command in a console
adb sideload downloaded_file_name.zip
Replace downloaded_file_name.zip with the name of the /e/OS file you downloaded in the previous section
This one?
No. It is only the first section where you “do not use sideload”.
You have to follow the instructions exactly!
Let’s look at the headings:
This section is fastboot.
This section is fastboot.
On completion of this section we see:
5. Manually reboot into recovery mode
You have to know that this has worked.
Think of this as a half-way stage, you need to have a working Recovery, but you have not started work on the OS.
Here there is a different mixture of work to do first, then we come to the one sideload command.
You can check your fastboot version (must have a device connected) with
fastboot --version
Are you seeing any error messages?
Also let’s check your downloads
One expects to download the main ROM, e-2.2-t-20240718417775-dev-oriole.zip
plus the recovery and boot images, recovery-IMG-e-2.2-t-20240718417775-dev-oriole.zip
the latter you unzipped to find recovery-e-2.2-t-20240718417775-dev-oriole.img, which is the e-Recovery.
