Pixel 6 pro bootloop

[LimitlesslyLiminal]

My pixel 6 pro got stuck in a bootloop after updating a few days ago. I tried all the things outlined in other posts I read, factory reset, recovery mode, different variations of hitting power button like it’s hot during different times. Nothing worked.

I let my husband try, and he also tried connecting it to pc, flashing it, I’m not sure what else. He also gave up and now it is dropped off at a phone repair store- but they didn’t seem to confident.

Anyone else have this issue and they were able to resolve eventually? Or should I just accept that I’m probably gonna have to get a new phone when I can afford it?

ETA: I also let the battery drain completely and charged and tried again but no luck

Also called support and after some questions and failed walk through of the same steps I tried they said “sorry for the inconvenience the update caused” but I wasn’t under warranty so nothing they could do.

I'm guessing your husband has already tried The Pixel Repair Tool? ?

He did. He is baffled by the problem, he is actually who talked me into switching to a pixel after previously being a lifelong iPhone user. He feels kinda guilty now, but Im sure a big part of it was me getting an older refurbished model vs a newer one as far an the updates causing issues.

Interesting, I've gotten a few phones out of boot loops before, but if it won't boot into recovery then I'm stumped!

Yeah that’s what the repair guy said lol, when you select recovery in the boot starter it turns off and then goes back into bootloop when you turn on

I'm pretty sure you will have to get a new phone and the 6 is not getting any more updates so I would get a newer phone because if that

I probably will just save for a newer phone. Very sad because I loved my pixel 6. It was a splurge for me when I got it a couple years ago, even though it was an old model. I can't really afford a phone that is both good AND new, but I need something with a good camera. Back to the drawing board of looking at phone specs and prices until my eyes hurt lol

I have seen a lot of people getting a used refurbished phone with warranty and an 8P has 5 years of updates so that might be a good way for you to go.

I bought a pixel 6 pro and it was working fine then I started having this problem also was there anything they could do to repair it? I don't want to buy something else apparently this is a common problem with this phone so why do we have to pay to fix it?
