Reverting back to Android

[ndfergot]

Hello,
I am trying to revert my Pixel 3a back to stock Android. When I use the android flash tool, my device is not found (No devices found). Is there something that I am missing? A few things that I have verified:

1. I have turned on developer mode on my phone
2. My computer can see my Pixel 3a device when it is plugged into the usb port
3. I have allowed Google Chrome to have the website connect to my phone
4. I have tried 3 different usb cables
5. I have tried on my windows computer and my Ubuntu (20.04) computer with the same results]

Any thoughts?

Thank you!!

You are in fastboot mode?

@mrt10001 Hey! I got it into fastboot mode and found a few things out.

1. The Android Flash Tool does NOT recognize the phone while it is in fastboot mode.
2. The Android Flash Tool does recognize the phone when in recovery mode (UBports Recovery).
3. Android Flash Tool wants to reboot my phone to either Fastboot or the Booloader, so I allow it to do so.
4. The phone goes back to Fastboot Mode and then the device goes undiscovered by the Android Flash Tool.

Any further thoughts? You got me 1 step closer for sure!!

Thank you

I figured it out... I needed to install the Fastboot driver while in Fastboot!

Thank you for your assistance! It was much appreciated.

Did you mean adb drivers ?
