Hello friends.
I got my Pixel XL 2 yesterday and today I'm in trouble already.
I unocked the bootloader, installer twrp and rooted with magik succesfully, but I had trouble installing my apps (titanium backup gave me a parcing error and the googgle play store wanted me to pay again for my purchases for some reason), so I figured I do a factory reset so I get prompted to restore from my old phone via cable. So I went to settings -> factory reset.
The problem is that when android rebooted to erase the data, I instead got dumped into twrp on a screen that says Mount Decrypt Data and is asking me for a lock pattern. But the screen doesn't responds, so I can't proceed. The power hard button just toggles the screen on and off but it does not reboot or turns the phone off when I hold it, so I don't know how to get to my bootloaded to maybe reinstall a factory image or what else to do.
I'm just stuck on that screen without options.
I would very much appreciate any advice.
Hold power, vol up and down buttons until your device turns off.. then go into bootloader by holdind vol down and power
I thank you very much for your reply.
I did booted succesfully into bootloader, but now I'm affraid I jumped from the frying pan into the flame because now my phone doesn't power up at all. If I connect it to the charger I don't get the battery with a lighting bolt that I'm supposed to get. The only life sign I get is if I plug it via USB to my computer, I do get the sound that windows plays when yoy connect something, but other than that, the phone seems to be dead.
I'm guessing it's something with the hardware?
hold the power button till it shuts off

Was the battery low when you started this?
Are you familiar with ADB? When plugged into the computer type adb devices or fastboot devices does it return your device serial number? If so type adb reboot bootoader.
If not I would hold the power button for a good 20-30 second and see if you can force it to turn on or reboot and immediately hold volume down to get back to bootloader.

Did you get anywhere with this? Just curious. I know you're probably upset, we're here to help if we can. :good:
Thank you very much to everyone for your time and help.
Thanks to your advices I was able to solve it. In case anyone ever finds himself or herself out in a similar situation, here's what ended up happening:
After holding the power button for about 30 secs as Namolas sugested the phone did reboot itself and brought me back to that twrp mount decrypt data screen asking me for a lock pattern. It was then just a matter of adb booting to the bootloader and install a factory image as usual.
Thanks again. I appreciate it guys.

My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.
Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.
When connect to PC, nothing happened.
If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.
No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.
RUU can't found the phone.
I did some research, but got confused.
Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.
So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.
Thanks all for the help!!
try to update via SD card
search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD
sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first
good luck

Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?
Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...
If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

To enter bootloader:
Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.

Thank you!!
bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.
Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.
Anyway, thank you all for the help!!
You guys are good!!

i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.
But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".
For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.
Hey there, so my phone randomly decided to stop working today.
Whenever I put the battery in the phone or plug in the charger, the Samsung screen loads then nothing. This all happens without me pushing the power button btw. Then the power button doesn't work, nor can I access recovery.
Like I mentioned, this all happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. I haven't flashed a rom in awhile so I'm not sure what caused the problem. One tidbit worth mentioning is that my phone would randomly reboot on the rom I've been using, but it wouldn't happen too often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I should do in this situation. Thanks for reading.

try to be quicker to access recovery, power off the phone. then press the power, vol up, and home then AS SOON as you see the blue text on the left top side of the samsung logo screen let go of the buttons, it should boot into recovery then wipe data factory reset and reboot.

place in pda with only f. reset time and auto reboot checked. it SHOULD only take about 10 seconds to flash. as soon as your phone reboots hold the recovery combo and it should go to it
I can't really access download mode either.
I'll get to the screen that asks if I want to go into download mode, then push the up on the volume rocker, get to the next screen, but then it goes black about a second later.
Thanks for all the help so far though.

kinda odd. never had that happen before. ,maybe you could try to reflash the download mode into your phone using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125(make sure you use a debrick.img http://d-h.st/iEy for att not sprint BTW)
or use a jig. since your phone can still access the boot interface.

Have you done this and then connected the USB to see if ODIN will recognize the phone? it's entirely possible that you are getting into download mode, but just can't see it..
It's certainly worth a try.
Ok folks, normally I figure these things out but this one has me a bit concerned.
I was in ViperROM HUB and installed a font package, it needed to restart in recovery to install, so I allowed it. I turned to my computer and when I next looked at my phone the screen is off and refuses to come on. When depress the power button I get a vibration feedback but the screen won't come on. I tried VOL DOWN and POWER but nothing is happening. Im gonna let the battery run dead and see if that will resolve it.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before?

Hey!
I dont think its bricked.
Ghost helped me out with my problem, see below solution.
Try holding POWER + VOLUME UP for 20 seconds and it should restart.
However my case was different I was stuck in HTC logo screen and no way to restart.
On the M8 it is Power and Vol Up to perform a "battery pull".

Thanks grega_slo and gaiden0000 for the quick response and spot on advice.
I did that before but it didn't work, it works now…guess I didn't hold VOL UP long enough.
Yeah I didn`t know about VOLUP either
It scared the crap out of me when I S-OFFed the device and was stuck haha

having the same problem. flashed cyanogen nightly and when it rebooted got to the splash and then black. nothing. none of the above methods seems to bring it back. I can hold the power and vol up and get the splash to reappear but still goes to black. any thoughts of have I really bricked this phone?

Put the usb cable in then press vol up and power until it restarts. As soon as you hear the ding on your pc press and hold vol down and power, you should then boot into hboot MENU.

never seem to hear a 'ding' or any other sound but no matter how I time it - power/vol up then power/vol down still results in htc splash then just black. Phone was quite warm (not quite hot) when I went to bed last night and this morning battery was at "0". When I first plugged it in and pushed the power button it alternated from the battery charging display to the TWRP locked screen but I couldn't seem to get it to stay on the TWRP screen no matter what I did. Now that I've used power/vol up I don't seem to get the battery or TWRP. just black or when trying power/vol up I get the splash. Power/vol down gives nothing - just black
EDIT: Just tried - let battery go dead. Plug in to computer hold power/vol down. Screen goes from battery icon to blank and back to battery icon.
EDIT: Pulled and reformatted sd card in Evo 4g LTE. Retried fastboot command still just shows "waiting for device". Even tried adb reboot bootloader and reply "device not found"
Could I use adb to reflash ruu? If so would the command be adb flash (filename)
Was beginning to lose hope of ever fixing this but a HUGE shout out to Simer03 who provided the critical piece of information - namely - add a ROM zip to your sd card. Hope nobody else ever has this problem but just in case
Post #4 here
Nothing is going to work unless you can either enter the boot loader or boot into the os.
You should still be able to access hboot unless that is corrupt. At the very least you need to hear the ding on your pc so you know the pc has recognized your device is connected.
Try again with vol up and power, hold until it reboots you should then hear that ding. If not check you have the necessary usb drivers installed on your pc or try a different usb cable.
First off, I did do a search, but as far as I can tell no one has had this problem so far.
This is all after modding using a tool kit: (i can't include the url but it is the toolkit by neisor on the oneplus forums)
tldr: phone stuck in bootloop, computer wont recognize the phone, maybe because it keeps shutting off and then booting to the 1+ logo, then shutting off again, would drivers help? what can I do about the volume up button?
So for a while my volume up button hasn't been working, and the mega unbrick post shows that I need to hold the volume up button for at least 25 seconds and while holding, plug my phone in. I have also seen some posts that say the volume up button could be a software issue, and the button itself could be working, and it is just not registering, as well as someone saying that you could take the back off and manually press the button, instead of using the bar on the outside of the phone (would this work?). I have gotten the button to work in the past by pressing the volume up button to the side instead of straight in, but I haven't been able to get it to work since my phone got bricked.
Another issue: my phone is stuck in a boot loop, I can't access fastboot, and I'm unsure of recovery because my volume up button is not working. would it be worth it to deal with the constant vibrating to try to get it to recovery?
I have been able to shut the phone off by holding the power button for something like a minute and a half, though.
This is my first post, and if I have broken any rules I am very sorry, but I need help and am tired of not having a phone.
Thank you everyone,
Mark
Edit: this is what I did to root the phone:
1. download the toolkit
2. unlock bootloader (when fastbooting the phone said unlocked at the bottom, and a message about not being secure showed every time I rebooted the phone)
3. flashed twrp (no issues, still booted, recovery went to twrp. for some reason I had to flash multiple times as every now and then recovery would revert to stock op, although I did make a backup through twrp)
4. send supersu zip file to phone, install using twrp (phone would not boot, op logo stayed on phone for 2 hrs + until I rebooted to fastboot and tried to reinstall the backup I made, still nothing)
5. Try magisk (still stuck on op logo)
6. try to go back to stock, accidentally lock bootloader (now the phone is stuck in bootloop, don't know what to do from here as I cant get to fastboot and am unsure of recovery's accessibility.)
If you are sure you have a broken volume button, you need to replace it first in order to get the phone fix.
Correction:
Fastboot/bootloader = Power+Vol Up
Recovery = Power+Vol Down
This happened to me except I didn't even get anything appear on the screen -- the phone just periodically vibrated with the screen not even light up. I tried the reset toolkit which is meant to flash your phone back to normal using Qualcomm drivers or something, but that didn't work either. Eventually I had to send it to OnePlus who fixed it for free in under a week! They said the motherboard had failed.
I hope you get this fixed!
Thanks

thanks for the correction, I will keep trying the volume buttons, if it doesn't work by the end of today I will search for a new volume button.

Damn, that sucks, and besides being unfixable (doubt it), this is my biggest fear. I'm in the US and really don't want to have to ship my phone to china to have it fixed. If you are in the US as well do you know if there is a OnePlus branch I can send it to in the US?
Thank you,

There seems to be one in Texas. Anyway, contact OnePlus and they may try to solve it over the air.
Apart from that, did you install the Qualcom drivers properly? Even with your faulty power button, try to hold it down for 40+ seconds (for the phone to switch off) and then immediately hold down the volume up button for 10 seconds and then plug in the phone to the PC. I know I am merely repeating the instructions of Naman Bhalla in his Mega Unbrick Guide but it is crucial to do them correctly especially the installation of the drivers. Try these steps repeatedly because for some people, the phone gets recognised after repeated attempts. Or else replace the power button and then try these steps.
I had to use the Guide last month and successfully resurrected my dead phone.

Can you boot into recovery by pressing power+volume down buttons?
Update: Got phone to show on computer as qualcomm under coms and ports
So last night I went ahead and held volume up for about 20 seconds, then plugged the phone in, keeping the volume up button pressed the entire time. my phone stopped bootlooping and showed up as a qualcom device! So I have downloaded the new driver the stock os, and am going to proceed to try to unbrick my phone.
Wish me luck,
Mark
Yes, I did, and its working so far

I still need to turn off the signed drivers features ( a huge bi*ch, I have to use another computer to contact microsoft or something to get my computer to load when I turn off safe boot or whatever its called), but once I do that I can install the driver and attempt to reinstall the stock os. Hopefully everything will go well.

So far recovery has not been loading, just the bootloop, but I have gotten the phone to power off by pressing the power button for 40 seconds, and the volume up button plus plugging in does make the phone register as qualcom 9008 or something like that. Basically everything is going well so far, and the faulty vol button seems to have been a software bug, as it does work when plugging it in. I will try to get to fast boot, but it did not work last time.
Thank you,

Hello hello,
Someone on another website told me to visit you guys here!
My Problem is as follows:
So around 6 hours ago my Pixel 6 pro decided to just turn itself off. I tried various methods of starting it, pressing different button combinations etc but it is completely unresponsive. I tried charging it for several hours but that also didn't do anything. The screen won't turn on at all.
The only sign of life that I have is when connecting my phone to my PC via USB and pressing all 3 buttons (Power, Volume up and down) then a device called "Pixel Rom Recovery" will pop up for a little bit. It disappears when letting go of the power button or after around 20 seconds. If I keep pressing the buttons it will apear again and do the same thing.
What I basically wanna know is:
Is there a way to still recover my data?
Is there a way for me to save my device?
I got some more or less important stuff on my phone and it would be a shame if it all was gone.
How ****ed am I?
Thank y'all for all your help!
Hi,
If you cannot turn on your phone, it'll be difficult to help you. Pressing other 30 sec power button doesn't run ?
In parallel did you contact the Google pixel support ?
It's not to scare you, but I had the same issue on a old Samsung S8 and it was the motherboard 🫤
Hope it's not the case for you !!

So this is in fact just an undocumented Emergency Download Mode that Google Custom Exynos SoC has natively built into it in case of the rare event of a bad boot loader.
I’ve been doing an extreme amount of research lately about bootROM’s, how they communicate, the Driver rule support for interfacing with the phone while it’s Pixel ROM Recovery. The viewable name for the Exynos USB DownLoading mode.
Can I get you to dm me on Telegram? It might be helpful to have more people. I’ll be glad to help in getting this figured out. It could help a lot of other people who don’t have a Pixel 6 too
I have the same issue after trying to update to 1205. I see the Pixel ROM Recovery and a COM port.
If you cannot enter fastboot mode, no way to recover your phone.
Was there a solution to this? The same thing happened to me. When I get to the bootloader and hit recovery the screen just goes black.
