Restoring a Pixel to the factory image is a pretty straight forward operation if you are familiar with fastboot and adb. This guide assumes you have fastboot already installed and setup in your user path. If not you can refer to the following link for more information.

WARNING – THESE STEPS WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA OFF THE DEVICE.

1. Download OTA Image

Go to the following link and download the Factory Image for your device

https://developers.google.com/android/images

Extract the file and then open a terminal or command prompt in that directory.

2. Boot up Pixel in recovery

You can do this with “adb reboot recovery” or with the volume key to boot into the Android boot menu.

3. Flash Image

On Windows you can flash the firmware with

flash-all.bat

Or on Linux

./flash-all.sh

Should take it a couple of minutes to complete.

Next we can lock bootloader with

fastboot flashing lock

You will need to confirm the lock on your phone.

Had a problem with a NVR not displaying cameras correctly in the web interface in Internet Explorer. The issue appears to be something wrong with how it is interacting with Windows scaling.

To resolve the issue you can set the scaling to 100%

If the monitor is a HDPI, set it to a 1920×1080 resolution with scaling at 100%.

How to Install Flash on Linux

Installing flash on Ubuntu is pretty straight forward.  Type the following command into a terminal and press enter and away you go.

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

On Fedora need to do the following

(64-bit)

sudo yum install http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm -y

(32-bit)

sudo yum install http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm -y

And install the Adobe Flash web browser plugin.  The first command imports the GPG key for the Adobe Flash plugin repository and the second command installs the plugin itself.

sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux 
sudo yum install flash-plugin -y
