Some Google Pixel phones are plagued by an endless restart loop. According to users, it has been going on for three months

Google Pixel phones like to present themselves as a model of seamless software directly from the creator of Android. However, since March of this year, this reputation has been taking a serious hit. The March update triggered a so-called bootloop for some owners of Pixel 6 to Pixel 10 models – the phone gets stuck on the Google logo, or restarts immediately after entering the PIN. And the device is suddenly unusable.

Three Months of Waiting, Still No Fix

The May update was supposed to bring a fix, but it didn’t work for everyone. Furthermore, some affected phones cannot even enter recovery mode, so they have no way to install the patch. Meanwhile, over 800 comments from frustrated owners have accumulated in the Google Issue Tracker, and Google itself admits that the problem may also affect devices updated in April or May. The only emergency solution so far has been a factory reset – meaning the loss of all data.

Instead of a Guide, a Path Through Customer Support

Google is now emailing affected customers and has published further instructions in the Issue Tracker. However, don’t expect any public step-by-step guide. The company states that the correct solution depends on the specific state of the device, and therefore owners should contact Pixel support directly, where an agent will guide them through an individual process. When contacting, it is recommended to immediately mention that it is a restart loop after a recent update.

One important warning in conclusion: according to user experience, affected users should definitely not install the Android 17 beta version, which could further worsen the entire situation. After three months, this is certainly a dismal record – especially from a manufacturer who has software fully in their own hands.
