problem pixel 6a

/e/OS Foundation & Community

I have a Pixel 6a phone. I installed Graphene OS, then formatted it and installed e/OS, but it hasn’t worked since. I need a solution.

Bury the phone at the bottom of a stream for three full moons, then dig it up, lay it on a bed of Lavender and chant:Info, more info!” seven times and, hopefully, more information about your phone and problem will magically materialize here in this thread!

I am not sure if this link

still gives the full information but is it possible you were affected by

Special instructions for updating Pixel devices to the May 2025 monthly release
Warning: The May 2025 update for Pixel 6 (6, 6 Pro, 6a) and Pixel 8 (8, 8 Pro, 8a) devices contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-roll back version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing the May 2025 update on these devices you won’t be able to flash and boot older Android 15 builds.

There is ofc more to read to get a fuller picture.

Hi

to be sure to flash /e/OS with success, you need to do :

  • from Graphene OS, flash Stock rom (Android 16, not 17 beta rom) from Android flash tool ;
  • once stock rom is installed, go to settings to allow adb & others good things to flash a custom rom;
  • now, follow instructions from /e/ guide for pixel 6a

It should work.
