Hold Vol Down + Power and goto recovery.
When you get the red triangle push Vol Up and Power and you get a blue recovery menu that looks like this

Try flashing a stock rom from the recovery and see what happens. Maybe it will solve the issue. Wipe everything first.

Still it may be useful somewhere down the line...
right ... actually if the found a way to signed something correctly it will be more "user friendly"
If we could sign something correctly (meaning, with HTC's release keys) there wouldn't be a USB problem in the first place because we would be able to change the SPL.

Hello guys,
before I send this phone in for repair, I thought I might ask for some help.
phone not detected by computer so can't go into adb and mess around.
phone is brand new with stock rom, it boots, goes to 1st home screen (where you chose the country and stuffs) and it almost automatically reboots.
does that in a loop, I can get into recovery, but thats about it.
any of you got an idea?
you might try doing a hardreset
you might flash sbf with android 2.3.6 .
second will cost you possiblity to use ics or cm7.
[untill theres root-exploit for it]
but this might work
remove battery. then press power button and s until the end...
you'll boot in safe boot...
but you can't access to the recovery mode? power button and r + m?
so like I said I can get into recovery, but don't know else to do.
I got into safe mode but it didn't do anything. it rebooted too

thats the 1st thing I tried, and it didn't work.
I got into fastboot mode I think. dunno what I can do there . . .
also my computer can now see the phone but it asks for "fastboot MB632 S" drivers
which I don't have. I tried installing motorola usb drivers from their website but it doesn't do the trick.
does any of you have fastboot drivers for the pro?
i have this problem since 3 months and no body know to to slove it
got the fastboot drivers, does anybody have an idea what I can with fastboot?
flash a stock rom maybe?

Hi,
I followed this guide on how to root the pixel 2: "androidcentral.com/how-root-google-pixel-2" and finished all the steps. But when running step 11 it got stuck in a boot loop due to some software issues with the patched image I assume.
I've tried opening the phone in fastboot mode and then connecting with ADB, but it seems I cannot find my device since USB-debugging is not turned on.
Any ideas of how this can be solved? Or am I screwed?
Try rebooting into recovery. When you see the Android laying down and I believe it says no command, press the up button. This should bring you to another menu where ADB sideload is an option. you could then download the appropriate OTA from Google and sideload it to the phone.

Thanks for your reply. I pressed "On/off" button + volume down and got into menu with recovery mode. But selecting recovery mode with "on/off" button and then clicking volume up just brings me to a view with the google logo showing and then the phone turns off. I can't seem to access menu with ADB sideload unfortunately...

when in Bootloader mode (where it shows your "baseband version" and such), you actually use the volume button to change around the different options to boot, and then the "on/off" button to select.
But it looks like you get it to show the red "recovery mode" and, I imagine, you intuitively pressed the "on/off button" to select it, but in the unlikelihood that that is the case, make sure you are not holding or pressing or "....clicking volume up" button while it's booting; that's probably where you're going wrong....
only once you're in the stock recovery mode -- with the android lying down, dead, and a red exclamation point coming out of it -- is where you press the "volume up" and power button together to see the options...
good luck and hope this helps....

Hmmmm...it sounds like something's wrong with your boot partition, then -- that's where the recovery resides. I suggest re-downloading the latest Full Factory image (from Google's developers site), editing flash-all to remove the "-w" and "exit" at the end, then running the flash-all once again on your device.
....after reading your OP, one key thing to keep in mind is that, in Bootloader Mode, you use "fastboot" commands while you use "adb" commands when within the OS or recovery....
And, for future reference, it would be better (most likely) if you wish to root the taimen for you to follow THIS GUIDE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418 .

In fastboot you can boot to a recovery.img; fastboot boot twrp.img
Download TWRP .img here.
(that recovery menu allows adb mode also).
Here you can(re)flash zip/image etc.
Format /data to ensure it is not encrypted.
For example, flash the extracted images of the OTA images from Google.

I'm real happy you got it back up and running!
Yeah, I'm not agreeing with all of what Google's doing now (in concerns with the Pixel 4 [i.e. removing unlimited original quality storage]), but they really did well with the whole "Bootloader Mode" where you can feel a bit more secure and confident that, as long as you have access to Bootloader Mode and can successfully connect your device, you're not too far gone and definitely bricked beyond hope! It's not so hopeless as with devices before and what the term "bricking" truly applies to....

Did you install TWRP before rooting? If you did, that is the source of the bootloop. Our root guides here are much simpler than the one you provided the address to. The article in question is also out of date. Current versions of TWRP and Magisk don't play nice together. You need to BOOT TWRP using fastboot instead of installing it.
Copying the latest Magisk package to your internal storage, then renaming it to uninstall.zip and flashing it through TWRP should remove Magisk and resolve the bootloop. If that doesn't work, flashing the last stock package should.
EDIT: Quoted the wrong poster. My reply is an answer to the quoted poster instead of the poster who revived a dead thread with a question for a totally different device.

I'm not sure you're aware of this, but not all devices are the same. Case in point: Samsung. How do you use fastboot commands on a Samsung device? Answer: You can't as Samsung doesn't support fastboot.
But thank you for making your expectations clear. Apparently, according to you, I should be able to figure out your problem despite not owning your device. It doesn't work that way. The only reason I know the answer to the question I posted in the previous paragraph is because I own a Samsung device.
Seriously, you getting bent out of shape at me because of your own screw-up is laughable.
