Flash stock / Unbrick Pixel Devices with Android Flashtool

on
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

Tap on back to public




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