Hi all,
You guys might have some more insights.
Recently the phone has been acting up and won't boot past the Google Logo (not even getting to Android Logo)
First of all I've tried the wipe data and factory reset. Didn't work, same issue.
I did enter the recovery mode and sideloaded the latest OTA sargo for my device found here :

The phone won't boot past google logo then turn off.
The bootloader is locked and I don't know how to unlock since I can't access the OS.
I was thinking about flashing it with a stock image from Google found here

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
I had the same issue. My issue was probably that after unlocking bootloader I did not reboot, but just flashed magisk patched boot.img. As a result my phone was boot looping with G-logo. The way out was to
a) flash stock boot.img
b) wipe data and cache
c) reboot and initialize, enable dev options...
d) flash magisk patched boot.img
e) success

Ok.... So i unlocked my bootloader on a verizon pixel and installed magisk with a patch boot image. no problem
I just tried to install TWRP (3.2.2). I booted the image first, the flashed the TWRP zip in the booted image. Then TWRP would boot, but only TWRP would boot. it would never progress to booting up the rom.
So i found a thread that suggested flashing the magisk patched boot image.... that just made it worse. It would only boot to recovery... and NO FASTBOOT. I was able to get to the menu and use adb to side load the latest OTA. Now i can boot into the ROM and use the phone as usual
However, I still don't have fastboot in recovery mode. I don't think its drivers. I must have mucked up recovery. It gotta be related to the TWRP snafu. I can boot into the stock boot loader and my PC beeps and recognizes the phone, when i use the arrows to go to recovery, my pc loses the device. My PC just can't see the pixel in recovery mode.
Not sure how to proceed
Can I side load the factory image after removing the wipe tag (-w)? Do i need to factory reset?
Am an idiot.... fastboot works in bootloader.... please delete
I recently got a Google Pixel, and it finally arrived today. I tried turning it on, and it was stuck on the white Google screen, so I rebooted to Recovery and factory reset it. It still wouldn't load, so I downloaded a 8.1 OTA from Google's API site, and flashed that using adb sideload. Now, it's stuck at a white Google logo, and if I try to go to recovery from the bootloader, it shows the white Google logo for 30 seconds and then starts looping again.
I can't access Recovery, and the bootloader is locked. Is there any way to fix this using fastboot, or am I screwed? :crying: Please help!
Thanks
Do you know what was the android version it has when you bought it? Because maybe it has Pie, and installing an older ota caused a brick.
I suggest you to download the latest 9.0 september factory image, go in fastboot and just flash the whole factory image. This will force wipe the device and it should boot up like new.
Good luck.
Hi XDA, after searching over countless threads and not being able to find the answer i'm after here goes my first post, so the problem originated when I accidentally signed out of Snapchat and wasn't able to sign back in due to safetynet so I went about trying to unroot and reroot using Magisk, however when installing the Magisk.zip, I ran into "Error 1" which I fixed by flashing a stock boot image with "fastboot flash boot boot.img", finally the zip file "successfully" installed via TWRP but upon trying to boot my phone to OS it constantly just goes back to fastboot mode and refuses to boot properly, I still have access to TWRP and have tried flashing back to stock recovery as well to no avail. What i'm wondering is if I somehow flashed the boot improperly and that's causing it to not boot to OS and if not what else can I do to restore my phone to working order, at this point i'm not that fussed over having root access but need to know how I can fix this, I have also tried flashing a stock ROM from stock recovery but just after starting the install it and the loading bar going up slightly it stops and goes back to the file selection page. Please help!
Edit: I have flashed the boot.img again using a newer stock image and now when I attempt to boot normally I get taken to a black screen with a white LED
Okay I am in a situation. my Google pixel is constantly boot looping. I have tried custom roms and even stock ROMs and it keeps boot looping. I've done all the tutorials and troubleshooting threads and to no avail am I getting this to stop. My bootloader is unlocked and I cannot flash any firmware that is stock below Android 10. I thought with the unlocked bootloader you could flash almost any firmware. Does anybody have any idea on how to help me and what I could do?
After trying to flash an OTA or a factory image it keeps saying something about user data and then it says press any key to exit.
I finally fast boot twrp and sideload lineage 17.1. after flash it rebooted... usually twrp flashes and waits for you to pick reboot. Phone works but is it a matter of time before it does the bootloop again? Clicking fix bootloop recovery seemed to work.
I hope you guys can help me with this one,
I followed the guide on Magisk website: https://magiskupdate.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a11/
Everything went well up until the final step which is titled: "Re-installing the Magisk App". This is right after I've flashed the patched boot image which was successful, I then proceeded to reboot the phone into recovery mode to reset to factory default and now I get the Samsung logo when I boot the phone, I get the alert that I'm not running official software and then it just loops through the boot sequence again and again.
I tried flashing the boot image again and again but without success.
Did I brick it? Can it be salvaged?
Thanks!
Re-flash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far.

You haven't unlocked your bootloader, that is why you are getting the alert that says you are not using official software. You have to unlock your bootloader before you can successfully flash a Magisk patched boot.img, it doesn't work on devices that have a locked bootloader.
As stated by the member that posted above me, flash your stock firmware to fix what you have corrupted. Then start over by finding a way to unlock your bootloader, once unlocked, you can try flashing the patched boot.img again. If you cannot find a way to unlock the bootloader, you will not be able to successfully flash and boot the patched boot.img.
