Hi

I dont know if anyone can help me, I bought a google pixel3a to install grapheneOS, I followed youtube videos particularly Techlore and also used grapheneOS site.

The problem I have is aftler locking the bootloader the phone reads

Cant find valid operating system. The device will not start. Im a bit tech savy with some things but im struggling with this.

Ive searched a lot of forums including this one and other particularly reddit and xda. Ive even tried installing fastboot with adb but it doesent seem to recgonise the phone now. Has anyone had similar issues? I also know this is a fault that can happen with some google phones, if anyone can help please let me know.

Some links ive used to help me...

Hey you've probably figured it out by now but don't use any installation guide other than the one included on the GrapheneOS site. Also they have a nifty USB based installer that you use on their webpage. Unless you're tech proficient don't try and do the manual CLI installation
