I left that system downloading the factory system image overnight.

Meanwhile, the OTA firmware updates drive was private, and this morning my request for access was granted. I just said I had the phone new and wanted to set up for flashing it.

I'm trying out the gdrive client now ( https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive ) and running into a simple and abnormal network error:

$ ~/pkgtmp/gdrive list

Authentication needed

Go to the following url in your browser:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&client_id=367116221053-7n0vf5akeru7on6o2fjinrecpdoe99eg.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&response_type=code&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive&state=state

Enter verification code:

Failed getting oauth client: Failed to exchange auth code for token: Post https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token: dial tcp: lookup accounts.google.com on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:42147->[::1]:53: read: connection refused
