My pixel xl started bootlooping. I can get into fastboot but that's it. If I try to boot twrp, bootloop, if I flash stock, bootloop. I've tried Oreo, pie. This came out of nowhere. I tried a gsi, bootloop. I'm very confused. The memory works because its flashing. Something has to be triggering a reboot. Only thing I know of that forces restart is unencrypted internal storage

I just sat down to try again, I will keep you posted. this is a dev device for me so its kind of annoying it would randomly brick for no reason. luckily I always keep the bootloader unlocked
This was my personal device, got out of warranty, no google store or any other youbreakwefixit stores near me, and it just bricked by itself. No root,no custom rom, nothing :( i can barely get into Recovery mode, and when i do, i install the latest OTA, and hope for the best :( Thanks

I bought a one plus literally a week ago. Lucky on my end. Whatever google did it is bad. I opened up the kernel and disabled the securities. Unencrypted the data. Still nothing. I've manually flashed over every partition 1 by 1, switched to the other slot and tried there. This looks like its going to be a battle. I've got a feeling what we flash isn't copying over some things because it keeps the newest version, which is why we can flash but not overwrite the problem

So... there may be a solution in the near future? seeing that google themselves did this? because it is a coincidence, that i see literally 5 pots about the same problem under 4 days..

Google's update hurt some pixel devices, but they expect us to RMA repair the device... I went the other direction and opened it up to tinker with instead
