A Pixel Phone Caught in a Bootloop? Here's What to Do!

 Some Pixel phones may become trapped in a bootloop and be unable to access media storage due to an issue with Android 14. It is necessary to manually apply the patch in order to exit the bootloop.

New features abound in Android 14, such as improved artificial intelligence, webcam functionality, and security updates. But it seems to have a problem in it that could lead to a bootloop or the loss of media storage on certain Pixel phones.

Pixel Phone Caught in a Bootloop

The inability to complete the boot process results in a bootloop. Everything goes wrong the first time it tries to boot up, so it tries again. Bootloop is the name for this endless loop. This specific Pixel issue manifests itself on Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 smartphones that were pre-updated to Android 14 with multiple user profiles configured.

The good news is that Google has already fixed both problems. If the media storage flaw is your phone's sole problem, you should be able to regain access after running the November update, which fixes the issue. Unfortunately, an over-the-air update won't fix the bootloop problem for Pixel users. Rather, Google's Pixel Repair Tool requires the installation of the patch.

According to 9to5Google, Google committed to releasing the fix on Friday with the promise that it would allow Pixels locked in a bootloop to access the November system update and restore partial data. While the precise data that will be restored by this patch remains unclear, it provides a solution for Pixel users who may have been impacted.

Fixing the Android 14 startup loop on your Pixel

Every Pixel device will have a somewhat different tool. You can use this link for any other Pixel model or carrier.

After you reach the page for the Pixel Repair Tool, click "Get Started." The website will then guide you through setting up your Pixel, which includes going into Fastboot mode, selecting Rescue mode, and connecting your phone to a computer using USB, once you've done that. When you're ready to start applying the patch, the website should be able to detect your Pixel.

Get in touch with Pixel Support if you need assistance using the Pixel Repair Tool. If you contacted Google regarding the November update, a representative from Pixel Support may contact you personally to assist you.
