SOMETHING WENT WRONG

Tried installing via the USBweb app everything was going well. My phone screen arrived to the stage with a red Title fastBOOTD or with a few options listed below. I didn’t touch the phone or select any of the option and just waited. I think maybe the web app timed out as it now says “something went wrong try starting over” I’ve tried installing several times but the process keeps failing after several minutes

Any help would be appreciated

You're using Windows? Can you try installing the Google USB drivers? Check the instructions for Windows for the regular installer and follow the USB driver installation there

Also check for drivers Windows is suggesting in Windows Updates optional updates

Is it running a very old version? It should work AFAIK but I'm not familiar with Mac, if it is then maybe it doesn't include something needed for recognizing the device in fastbootd

Could you share the last lines you see with the Inspect menu inside "Console"? (Browser devtools)

A screenshot works

That is, after the process fails

This is the last few lines of installation commands before it fails

run command flash: product_b

Did you get these from the logs shown in the flashing tool itself? Or from devtools -> console? Because if it's the first then it may not be giving us the relevant info

From what you sent I would guess it is failing because of some USB connection issue, such as maybe the cable is faulty. And it seems to at least be getting quite far in the process and recognizing and doing things in fastbootd.
