But you downloaded the incorrect file.

Hmmm, looks like I got wrong link. How best can I back out to get phone working again? Its stuck on the Google boot screen.

 

[Tool Belt]

Maybe hold the power button until it powers off and try the process again with the correct file.

Go back to bootloader mode and adb sideload the correct file. Follow the instructions

 

[phupton]

Apologies for being a total....

How can I get phone back in to bootloader. I used tools on PC previously. Is there a key combination on phone?

Power off. Then power on holding the power and vol up key. See step #5. https://developers.google.com/android/ota

And download the ota from that site and run a checksum.

Proper OTA sideload should bring you up, this time use the Pixel 6 OTA. As per OTA page (https://developers.google.com/android/ota):

"This page contains full OTA update packages that allow you to restore your Nexus or Pixel device's original factory firmware. You will find these files useful if you have experienced a failure to take an OTA. This has the same effect as flashing the corresponding factory image, but without the need to wipe the device or unlock the bootloader."

So:
1. Boot to bootloader: hold pwr button + vol dwn button
2. Boot to recovery: in bootloader select Recovery and press pwr button and plug in your cable
and then according to OTA instructions:
3. To access the recovery menu, hold the Power button and press Volume Up once. The recovery text menu will appear.
4. To enter sideload mode, select the option Apply update from ADB.
5. Run the following command:

adb devices
and check that your device shows up with "sideload" next to its name.

6. Run the following command:

adb sideload ota_file.zip
where ota_file.zip is the name of the file you have downloaded and verified.

7. Once the update finishes, reboot the phone by choosing Reboot system now.

That's what XDA is all about.

 

[phupton]

i dont have many apps installed so it wizzed through the other stages once the phone was back running...

You're welcome. We tripled teamed you lol. @Tool Belt @mosio Good job. Now enjoy your functioning FPR. Let us know if it's working as well for you as it is for most of us.

 

[phupton]

The FPR is faster. I’d rebooted my phone a few times since getting it and can tell that there is a difference. I might get that screen protector ordered in now.

again, thanks all for your patience with an android newbie…

Still waiting on this update (spamming check for update since yesterday), I haven't used ADB in years and don't want to accidentally brick my daily driver phone.

If you are not comfortable venturing into ADB then you are wise to wait.
