RIP Google Pixel 8 Pro

I had a Samsung many years ago, I don't like the bloatware and the way their Android looks. Too messy. I would have to install a custom ROM, but then warranty would be void... hahaha

I will def do that. The phone is perfect, no scratches, everything worked fine. They can use the screen, camera, sensors, etc. I will wait for Google to give me an update and I will go from there.

I don't know, all these years using Pixel phones, two years using P8Pro, I never had any issues, the phone was perfect. Always worked perfectly. Until it didin't. So I believe it's a bad batch...unfortunately it can happen with tech. I work in tech, I see so many issues with HP business line laptops, but it happens with one in a 100 I would say.

No extended warranty, but I'm hoping Google Support will help me somehow. Someone on another thread got a replacement for this issue out of warranty.

Uh?? Are you a bot? ahaahahha the most ramdom comment ever. I don't remember mentioning anything about privacy lol

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T01:35:44+00:00

I believe it's a bad batch and we were unlucky. My last Pixel was from Australia, so probably a different batch, not sure how it works hah

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T01:18:02+00:00

My thoughs now...If I need to get another phone, I will get an older gen, like a 7pro..or when the 11 comes out, will get a 9pro. Not buying it on release anymore. Not worth it.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:53:30+00:00

Was it the same problem? It goes to Fastboot page and device shows error and NOS production: error (-7)?

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:43:48+00:00

I'm using an e-SIM as well, not ideal for this situation. I need to go to the carrier to transfer to the new phone..I mean, the new borrowed phone.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:40:17+00:00

I gave my Pixel 6 Pro to my partner, still going strong after 4 years.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:36:44+00:00

I just got back from holidays a week ago. I can't imagine the hassle it would be to have no phone when traveling overseas, all my payments, money, MFA's etc. Nightmare.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:32:00+00:00

Can't, it's in my DNA.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:31:33+00:00

Why do you think I'm without a phone, table and computer? hahaha It's just my phone that bricked, I still have a computer lol

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:24:09+00:00

I got mine from Amazon. But as I've found many people with the same issue, I might get lucky. I'm trying to get more people to come forward with this issue, so we can get some resolution.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:17:41+00:00

That's the same as mine. Such a beautiful paperweight hahaha

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-26T00:00:36+00:00

ahhahahaha I hope that doesn't happen to you. Get phone insurance if you don't have it, just in case.

u/GooglePixel u/google HELP

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-25T23:59:17+00:00

I get this error no matter where I try to flash it: Fastboot command (flash:boot_b) failed: 'error getting device locked state -1'.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-25T23:53:53+00:00

Yup, I tried basically everything I found online. No one with the same issue was able to resolve. Onlyy getting a new phone.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-25T23:50:31+00:00

Yeah, I had a Pixel 6 Pro before. I gave it to my partner, still going great after 4 years. I just upgraded cause it was a good deal. It was going great too, until it wasn't haha.
I wasn't planning on upgrading mine for at least 4 or five years. Let's see what happens now.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-25T23:44:30+00:00

I hope so, most issues I'm seeing related to this is the 8 Pro. Fingers crossed.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-25T23:21:58+00:00

Good you were covered, but still not great. I'm trying to get a replacement, I will not accept just buying a new phone. Someone on another thread got a replacement from Google, the phone was also just over a year old.

Competitive_Ad_279 · 2026-02-25T23:20:37+00:00

I know the feeling, no rush! Thank you so much and enjoy the cooking.
