        Anyone had any problems rebooting android after using UT? I am able to have the device recognised by adb, however on rebooting the bootloader it switches the device off only (pixel 3a xl) so I am unable to get into bootloader mode in order to run the flash.sh script. When I manually go into bootloader mode using the buttons on the phone, the device is not recognised (I do have to press a prompt on UT when the device is in the os).

        This is on a Linux device running ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Any advice gratefully received as I plan on going back to UT but need to investigate if I have bought a dud device or if it is just on UT that the gps is not working.

          In case anyone else has this problem, I think I got around the problem by manually getting into fastboot mode by holding the power and down volume button key. In the terminal on the computer rather than put in 'adb devices' I put in 'adb fastboot' and this recognised the device. I was then able to run the flash-all.sh script as the device was then recognised.

          Just allowing it to boot up as we speak so hopefully no further issues!

          This all may sound straightforward to those who know how to do this, however the documentation I could find online did not state type in adb fastboot, so hopefully this can be helpful to others who run into this issue.

            Hi @Jite
            Just to clarify things:
            adb wroks when you are in recovery mode(EDIT or when the phone is running), example:
            adb devices
            fastboot works when you are in bootloader, example:
            fastboot devices

            I guess when you write adb fastboot devices it jumps over adb because it doesn't output anything.

              @rondarius thanks very much for this information. I am still a bit of a noob when it come to fiddling around with bootloaders on android devices.
