Hi guys
I have pixel 1 and I was on android 10
I had some problems so I decided to downdrade
I downloaded Android 7.1 recovery sailfish
Extracted the zip file
And flashall.bat
Bootloader and radio were ok
But when it comes to zip file
It gives me a massage
That zip file is too big and dosent goes
Then boots to Google logo and loop
I tried another sailfish recovery and another
The same problem
I found away by extracting zip file and flash every single img file
Every thing goes okey
But when I reboot it loops again
In fastboot mode it shows that bootloader sector is _b
Is that correct and what is the difference between sector a and sector b
I tried this method
And didn't work for me
Please give me a hand
The device is not mine
And I have to give it back to his owner

I bet you if you stick it in the freezer for 2 or 3 minutes and then boot it will boot normal

Funny thing is dude, I'm not joking. I had to put my pixel one in the freezer in order for it to boot. I bet if you put your phone in the freezer for 2 to 3 minutes, take it out and boot it it will boot. And if it does boot it means you have the dreaded emmc chip demise.
How can this make sense
Can you explain please
What happened with did u try to flash and then it got loop like me or what

Take your device put it in a plastic bag...place in the freezer for 3 to 5 minutes... Take out the phone and turn it on.... You're having the exact same issues I did.,.. you may also have the emmc chip fail. By doing this you will find out for sure if that is the issue. the reason why these phones need to be cold is because the board gets too hot and it shuts it down
