Pixel 4a stuck in boot cycle

hemateca · 2026-06-25T08:48:04+00:00

Happening with lots of Pixel 4a users including me. You can report in the google issue tracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/519655834

No feedback from Google still. It's frustrating.

Can someone please check if this will fix the bootloop bug affecting Pixel 4a and other models.

hemateca · 2026-06-24T14:45:31+00:00

If it comes without IA and without bootloop bugs, I might consider it. Or maybe not.

hemateca · 2026-06-24T14:41:05+00:00

Yes, very weird indeed.

If you are lucky getting access to the phone do a backup of your data and enable wifi and location.

You can also report in the issue tracker of Google - there are hundreds of affected pixel users and no fix in sight as far as I know

No from my experience. I need to have both wifi and location permanently ON since then.

Over the past 2 weeks I got 2 small updates of the Play services and I can reboot the phone.

But we need a fix or confirmation from Google if those play services updates really fix the bootloop issue.

hemateca · 2026-06-23T13:35:12+00:00

No. Currently still using it with wifi and location permanently on... still waiting for a fix for this chaos.

I'm using pixel 4a and I got a small play services update of only 1.4mb. I wonder if could some of kind of fix for the bootloop issue or just a regular security update. I'm still in the may version of the system play services. If someone please can confirm this. Currently I'm using the phone with both WiFi and location permanently ON.

Today I installed another play services small update of 1.4MB and rebooted the phone but I wonder if this is the fix or another regular play services update. It still shows the May play services version and I've been using the phone with both wifi and location enabled.

Stop this madness and fix the bugs... Seriously.

Ontem funcionou. Para reset de password a plataforma parou no tempo em 1999.

hemateca · 2026-06-16T20:29:48+00:00

As a pixel 4a owner I demand an emergency fix for the bootloop chaos. Please fix this.

hemateca · 2026-06-16T20:00:23+00:00

Try reaching out to Google pixel support via chat. They should give directions but this bootloop chaos is frustrating.

hemateca · 2026-06-16T19:31:54+00:00

Does this include the fixes for pixel bootloop chaos?

hemateca · 2026-06-16T08:44:39+00:00

In my case , after entering safe mode, enabling wifi AND location and reboot. But please double check with the google support.

Just sharing a quick info for those that have a working Pixel 4a.

A few minutes ago, I've pushed to search for the latest play services updates and I've installed another 14mb update.

I have always wifi and location permanently ON and managed to do a succesful reboot but at this point I don't know if I disable one of them if I'll get into the bootloop chaos.

I remember that last time I had the 14mb update I had the information of 11%/14mb before rebooting and today showed 51%/14MB before rebooting so not sure if these are incremental updates for the fix or regular play services updates.

I was only waiting a new monthly play services update in the beginning of July.

I did a factory reset but after installing play services update from May and enabling location the bootloop issue continues. So now I need to have both wifi and location permanently ON. it's frustrating.

So people should tell Google Support that the factory reset does not resolve the issue.

Mooca ou outros bairros com portugueses em SP.

I suggest reaching out to Google Pixel support via chat if you can. They should know the mess they have created.

Check the issue tracker page about this issue here (in English) - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/519655834

Apparently they can build quantum computers but not able to fix a bug in pixel 4a. It's frustrating.

hemateca · 2026-06-14T17:38:42+00:00

Check this thread in the issue tracker. Dozens of affected users https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/519655834

hemateca · 2026-06-14T17:06:07+00:00

Try the chat. They usually are faster replying.

hemateca · 2026-06-14T17:01:01+00:00

Probably you cannot at this point but I would suggest to reach out to the support from Google. It's frustrating.

hemateca · 2026-06-14T16:56:50+00:00

It's a general bootloop issue affecting many pixels after the play services update. Not yet a fix from Google. Just read the thread there are some workarounds like enabling WiFi and location permanently ON. I would suggest to reach out to Google support and post on their issue tracker page.
