Long story short, I got an OTA update on my Pixel 6 Pro and I guess the update failed and now my phone is bricked. Completely. I've tried all the usual recovery options including holding the power button for two minutes, charging and then holding the power button, connecting to a PC and holding down the power button, and every possible combination of power + volume buttons. No dice. No boot, no fastboot, no recovery mode, and no way to reflash a factory image.
After trying everything listed above, I contacted Google support (they were of no help, obviously) and then opened an RMA ticket (since the phone was still under warranty) and will be getting a replacement phone hopefully soon (of course it happens on a holiday weekend....).
Since I will have to send my current P6P back, does anyone know of a way to somehow fully wipe and/or ensure that the data on the phone could not be recovered by Google or whoever gets the phone afterwards?
Also as a side question, I'm assuming once Google gets the phone they'll resell it as a refurbished model, correct?
Any input (or other recovery options I could try) would be greatly appreciated!
The service center will just replace the main board and probably scrap the old one.
The only way to wipe data would mean you wouldn't need to send your device in for repair.
THANKS!

Fingers crossed. I'll probably still have to change all my passwords and reset all my OTA keys... Just to be safe.

That's what I thought as well.
Okay so the plot thickens... For some reason If I leave the battery tro completely discharge (power button held down with rubber band for several hours), and then plug it into power it will turn on (into the OS if no button is held down and into fastboot if volume down is held while plugging in), but if I reboot either from the OS or from fastboot (into the OS or bootloader/recovery/etc.) it just goes black and doesn't respond....
I waited until it depleted again and manually backed up/deleted my information from the phone before I'll send it back, but can't perform a factory reset because it won't properly reboot....
Any ideas what the hell is wrong with this phone?

Interesting! I had a similar experience on my 6a after leaving A14 beta and manually flashing lineageOS. I always thought a pixel can't be permanently bricked, but I learnt the hard way. The phone stopped booting and was not recognised by the computer when plugged in. The computer did not even recognize a device was plugged in. I also tried all possible button combinations, but I did not try the discharge method you described. I was able to RMA the phone though.

So my PIxel XL locked up (of course) and I had to soft reset it to come back. This time, however, the touch screen is 100% non responsive. Fingerprint is fine, other buttons are fine, but no touch screen. It happened to be in the middle of Play updates when it locked up - that may be related to the problem.
Anyway, I was going to try and reboot into safe mode,but I cant seem to get it into safe mode without a way to actually turn it off other than another reset, which just boots it again. I got it into recovery mode once but all I could do was reboot.
I;m reasonably savvy with the various tools, but since I can't unlock it I'm not sure where to go next.
And of course I absolutely need a working phone for work (and everything else in the world....) :crying:

It sounds like his phone won't power off though. How do you get to the bootloader menu when holding down the power button automatically does a soft reboot of the phone? He might need to let the battery drain so the phone actually shuts off before he can get to the bootloader menu to do a factory reset.
Literally ALL android devices can be forced to shutdown or to restart in a similar fashion to pc's. literally just hold the power button.
In the pixels case, holding the power button for 15 consecutive seconds will force the phone to reboot.
press and hold power, start counting to 15, as soon as your about to hit 15 seconds go ahead and mash down the volume down button with it. this should get you into fastboot where you can access recovery or fastboot flash a image.

This causes a full reboot on my current and previous pixel, not a soft reboot, ive used this method to save my arse many times. i hold it down, and it restarts all the way to the unlocked bootloader screen
I had a situation where as soon as the phone booted i would get all sorts of errors that prevented me from using the phone or even accessing the power menu, and this is the savior.
possibly try holding it more than 15 seconds? maybe let it cycle twice before attempting to enter fastbppt
Yesterday evening my Google Pixel XL suddenly went off and won't boot anymore. I can get into the fastboot menu, but every option I select(recovery mode, reboot bootloader), doesn't do anything.
The phone is stock android 8.0 and has never been unlocked, rooted or anything. I have tried the following:
- Holding the power button for several minutes, it vibrates every minute(I think this is the simulated battery pull).
- Trying to flash it from fastboot with adb & fasboot, but this doesn't work because I can't unlock the phone from fastboot.
- Left it off for the whole night charging, but also this didn't help, I can still only boot it in fastboot.
I tried some options, but they all require a unlocked phone, which I cannot manage from fastboot mode. Is this just an RMA or are there any other things I can try.
Haven't left stock in a while so not sure if still doable but have you tried --> fastboot boot twrp, then flash the full ota?
same issue

Today I had almost the same thing happen. Was typing then the phone froze. No response. Then turned off. Won't turn on. Can use power and volume down I too can get into fastboot menu, but like you, when i chose anything, i see the Google start screen for a split second and then it turns off again. It seems like it wants to start up but then something is preventing it. This is all stock. Google said go to uFixiBreak, they think its the motherboard and can't do anything. Of course warranty is up. I fear there is nothing to do. Has anyone helped you out yet?

Exactly what's happens with me. In my case i left charging over night and in the morning i couldn't even enter fastboot. Black screen all the time. Holding power button didn't nothing. Using fastboot buttons combination gave me some vibrations and that's all. I had to sent my Pixel to Google for a exchange. Still waiting my replacement device.
Check if warranty still covers your device and starts a RMA for a replacement.

Apologies for the late response, I kinda forgot I had this thread here
I started the RMA process the same day and I sent it to Google that day. They replaced the phone with a new/refurbished one that works now. They didn't tell me what the problem was or had any steps I could take to fix the problem(all the steps they had me go through didn't work)
So unfortunately sending it in for a RMA is the only thing I know about that works.

I am having the EXACT same issue as you. Did you get the recent Android update?
Everybody have 128gb models?
Mine just did the same thing on the 6th last month. I can't boot further than the first Google logo, and OTA images do nothing. Completely stock and locked.
For reference, I have the standard size, 128 GB model. I can at least report that my flash memory is Toshiba, and the ram is from Hynix. I've been emailing with Google support for nearly 3 weeks now, and am unfortunately outside of the warranty.

I had this happen back in October, and again in November.
Yes, it happened to the same Verizon Pixel XL 32GB, bootloader unlocked.
A few days after it abruptly shut down. I woke up one morning, and it was fully booted, data intact.
And again in November. I did a full teardown to try and troubleshoot.
It ended up being the oem charger block.
1 broken pin in the block crossed 2 other pins, and that was that.
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?

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.
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

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?

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,

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,

Glad to hear that there is some progress. Best of luck and keep us informed.
Hello guys.
I just bought my Pixel 3 XL phone straight from the Google Store and it just arrived two days ago. After learning about Android Q, I opted-in on the android beta and downloaded the Beta 6 OTA update to my phone. The phone downloaded the OTA and installed it and it seems all is well until the moment it rebooted. It didn't turn on again. It won't turn on. I tried to force restart it by pressing the power button 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or even 1 minute+, won't turn on, no haptic feedback, nothing. I even tried the power button + volume down combo. I also tried plugging it to the original charger it came with for 30 minutes, nothing.
Before this, I have experience with flashing stock and custom roms with pixel devices and other brands (I have owned the OG Pixel until it wont boot due to its motherboard issue), and while normally, I could have just unlocked the bootloader and installed the beta firmware thru fastboot/recovery, or even installed a custom recovery, I didn't and instead tried the OTA update thingy (which claimed that you don't have to unlock your phone or anything). I didn't expect that it will brick this early and unexpectedly.
My suspicion would be that the OTA update broke the bootloader itself, or the firmware that loads the bootloader, thus not responding to the power button correctly. It's also not a power problem, because the phone warms up when plugged to the charger. Also, I download and applied the OTA while the phone is charging (around 70%). Could that also be the culprit?
I'm at my wit's end here. I'm thinking I should RMA this phone, which I haven't done before. Are there any similar issues like this before? Did anyone else had similar issues like this one?

Plug the charger in and hold all 3 buttons together, not saying it will work but worth a try, it deletes battery stats and cache, if it does boot then keep hold of them for about 40 secs, hold them for over ten seconds even try for a whole minute, this sounds like hardware fault to me though. Also, if youve just bought it, swap it.

I have tried what you suggested. Still nothing.
If I can I'd try to resolve this without returning the thing but yeah, it may really be a hardware fault. Guess I have to wait for a miracle to happen (like the phone turning on by itself after several hours, like with some posts that I have found around).
If all else fail, maybe I'd just ask Google to replace it.
Thanks anyway :good:
You may want to try to see if you get a USB notification from your computer on Windows and if it does try to flash it Back to stock. Hope it works

Have you tried making an edl cable, to see if the phone boots to qualcomm flash/diagnostic mode. I dont understand why no one in this thread as mentioned EDL mode, its a life saver for when you brick your device. This allows a full factory image flash through qualcomm flash mode. Plenty of tuturials on internet for EDL. (Emergency Download)
