My pixel had been restarting frequently for past 2 days. I am using Stock android 7.1.1. It suddenly went into a boot loop with white screen with Google flashing every 2 seconds. Power plus volume down helps but when I select recovery, it again keeps blinking. volume up doesn't help either. Cannot get into recovery to do a reset. I am okay with hard reset if I have to do one. I can't get it replaced right away as I am not in the country I got it from right now. Please help me out.
I have the same issue. I haven't found a fix. Someone recommended to unlock the bootloader on a previous thread, but I'm not sure how I would do that when not able to get into recovery mode.

My Nexus 5 seems to get stuck at the update screen (the standing green android with the spinning polyhedron) after flashing to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked. The flash completed without error. I've left it at this screen for over an hour and not only does it not progress it doesn't even get to the progress bar at the bottom.
This afternoon my (unrooted, bootlocked, stock) N5 turned itself off 3 times while on the charger. Powered back on and then would find it turned off 20 or so minutes later when I checked it again. After the third time it booted to the "Google" screen and would go no further. I tried a hard reset but it gave an error. So I plugged it into my laptop and fired up Wug's NRT, unlocked the bootloader (at which point it got stuck at the same update screen described above for around an hour). I held power till it went off, booted back into bootloader (which showed as unlocked) and performed the flash to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked and ended up at the update animation again. Any thoughts other than RMA?
****Edit: Finally got the phone to boot after fastboot booting twrp. Was able to to wipe the phone (after multiple attemps blocked by can not mount storage/cache/etc/etc errors). Flashed 4.4 and the phone now boots to android BUT radio is non-functional (no signal despite being in my normal coverage area), any attempt to add an APN causes a hard reboot (had to go through all the setup screens again). Additionally, the phone won't turn off, even hard power downs (holding the button for 30 secs) lead to an immediate reboot. Still RMAing but I was able to relock the bootloader.
You really shouldn't RMA a phone after messing it up yourself by using a toolkit when you didn't know what you were doing.
Flash the factory images manually. That should get your phone up and running again.

Performed a manual flash with the exact same results. There is apparently something wrong with the hardware (which may explain why it was turning itself off and then wouldn't boot past the google logo.

Yep, I would agree.
I was in snapchat when all of a sudden my nexus 5x totally froze and rebooted (which is normal considering how much snapchat sucks.)
I saw the warning about my bootloader being unlocked which was normal and it went to the Google screen, where it sat for about 5 minutes. Normally in every previous bootloop I've had in the past, the boot animation just loops forever and ever. I force shut it off and tried booting it up again and this time on the Google screen the phone totally shut off and restarted showing me the warning about my bootloader. I tried the recovery, but got the same results. So, I went home and plugged it in thinking maybe that would help but it still was shutting off and rebooting. It never got to the boot animation. I had all the adb and fastboot drivers so I just decided to flash the factory image. It flashed fine, and sadly the problem was still there. I'm so stuck, I can't get into the recovery to do anything and there's only so much that you can do over fastboot. I've found that if I press the power button every couple seconds while the Google screen is still showing and it doesn't reboot but the Google logo won't leave for the boot animation.
Seriously guys, please just give me any of your ideas.
I've had my S7 since March. Worked flawlessly until around 2 weeks back. The first issue I got was that the phone stopped responding. I haven't linked that to any specific application. It happened at random. So the phone freezes and screen goes black. I used the Power button + Lower Volume button to power up the phone again and it worked. But then the no response problem happened more often. So I decided to go for a factory reset. I did this using recovery. But I continued to get the freezing issue. And the last time I got it was a few hours ago. But this time when I used the power button+ down volume button, the phone got stuck in a boot loop. I managed to bring up recovery to power down the phone. When I booted into recovery, I got the a dead android logo with a yellow exclamation mark in a triangle. I tried to power up my phone back, but it again got stuck in a boot loop. I know I can resolve this situation by doing a reset again. But I suppose this is not the solution as I will continue to get the freezing and not responding problem again.
Any advice please?
Thank you.

Hi mate
after you factory reset it , did you use the phone for a while without restoring any app?..so you are sure is not an app making the mess
My first option would be flash ( odin) firmware again.....
Check his guide
Use home_csc instead of CSC so you do not lose anything
I actually didn't restore any app after reset. I rather re-installed only 2 apps I use most. And I've been using these apps since I started using my mobile. I don't think they could be responsible for the crashes.
If I have to flash, I've been wondering if I could have a go at Nougat.
Would that be a good idea?

Hi
Yes you can flash nougat, seems to be stable......but still is a Beta version
Hi
I got the same problem ... did you find any solution for this problem ??
Replacing motherboard fixes this issue. Its not software related. Faulty board. With Nougat this will happen even more. I know because happened to me..
ohhh
how much did cost you for that ?
Hey guys,
Sorry if the answer to this found somewhere else, tried searching but foud nothing for my situation.
My buddy, who is a super basic user and was not attempting to do anything with his phone, has a G4 that suddenly stopped working and went into a boot loop.
We tried factory resetting it and it got about half way through the apps before stopping, going back into a boot loop and was unable to get back to the same point in the factory reset.
I tried flashing the ROM using LGUP to H811-20o and it said that it went successfully on LGUP as well as the phone itself, but after it rebooted it went back into a boot loop.
Now the boot loop goes faster but is still looping and we cannot get back into download mode to try again or potentially try a different ROM. It goes to the first screen of download mode with the 5 blue dots but doesn't get past that, I've removed the battery waited for a while in between attempts and still nothing.
We can get to the factory reset screen and click yes, it will then go to the green android guy with his cog wheels exposed but then immediately goes back into a boot loop.
Any help is appreciated, even if its just a confirmation of being SOL.
Hi
a helpful thread may be found here

My father-in-law's S6 was rebooting right after the menu screen came up. After trying numerous things which wouldn't work (still had varying boot loops) like getting into the recovery mode and doing a factory wipe, I decided to use Odin and flash the base stock Android nougat on this (it had the one verizon security patch after that, so should be no issue doing this).
That went okay and it rebooted and got all the way to "Android is starting" which you see after a firmware upgrade. But I didn't realize the battery had run down through all this so it died at this stage. So it was taking a charge now, so let it charge overnight and give it another run.
Got up today, tried to start it...back to the boot loop. So I figured I'd flash stock again with Odin (can always get back to that mode).
It completes successfully and then after the reboot at about 32% jumps to "erasing" and then the boot loop again.
Got into recovery mode once and wiped cache (pointless at this point, but whatever) and did factory reset there, then boot to bootloader. Got all the way to the verizon screen...and then boot loop again.
Is this phone just done? The only thing I can consistently get to is Odin mode. I tried the stock reflash a couple more times and keep ending up in a boot loop and it doesn't even get past the "custom" screen now. And I can't even actually get it to shutdown for that matter. I can get to the battery pull mode but if I try to power off from there, I just get the black screen with the blue light.
And, to make matters even worse, now on restart, it brings up the blue system update screen for a second, then jumps over to the no command screen, sits there for a second, then reboots again. I think I've somehow managed to even blow the recovery menu but this has all been stock and never had any custom firmware or root.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
