When I flash a zip file, if read smaill file, it will be ok. but if read big file just like product.img(522MB) it will throw: "
ui.js:107 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems that have occurred after a reference to a file was acquired.
flashSelectedFactoryZip @ ui.js:107
async function (async)
flashSelectedFactoryZip @ ui.js:105"

I think it's not permission related issues.

Yes, it's not a permission issue. This is the error message shown by android-webinstall for that exception:

There isn’t enough storage space available to download and unpack the OS. You need at least 5 GB free.

If you’re not low on storage, this is caused by using an incognito window or guest browser profile. These profiles have very low storage limits, so installing from them isn’t possible.

To fix this, switch to a normal browser profile and try again.

I'm also having this issue, I'm using kiwi browser so I can access debug console, I'm on a normal profile and I can't flash anything larger than 2gb, any way to get around this ?

Memory usage is a known issue with no easy fix. #27
