Aborting ...
badabing2005 commented 2 months ago

This means that there is OTA update (in progress or partial) on your system. That needs to be cancelled first.

If your device is rooted, and you have enabled su access to shell process, then PixelFlasher should detect your device as root (the logs above is not in adb mode for me to know, and you didn't provide support file) then you can go into Device Menu | Cancel OTA Update image

Then sideload again. If your device is not rooted or you cannot get into adb mode, then PixelFlasher cannot perform that operation.

The only other alternative at that point would be to flash factory image, but for that you need your bootloader to be unlocked.

Sorry these are Google's limitations, not the app's.

@badabing2005 Thank you for such a detailed answer. It seems to be right, I got a notification: a new update is available before I started play with Pixel FLasher. I have already flashed my phone with a factory image. But next time, I will know to stop any updates first.
