Flash stock / Unbrick Pixel Devices with Android Flashtool

Android Flash Tool in my opinion, is the easiest and safest way to flash your Pixel device. If you're upgrading, or unbricking it'll almost always save the phone. I recommend using  Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome 


The device will need USB debugging enabled in developer options and OEM unlocking toggled on


Plug the phone into a PC with a USB to type C cable.




If flashtool displays the following just run adb kill-server in terminal in the platform tools folder




Tap on add device and confirm the connection in the prompt 



Tap on back to public




Make sure to use the up-to-date builds as google explains here
