Question Hard Bricked Pixel 6 Pro Android 13

[Rifle003]

Hello! I think I've bricked my Pixel 6 Pro using Android 13, I rooted with Magisk successfuly but when I flashed kirisakura kernel using EXKM and rebooted it gave me a bootloop, after bootloop tried flashing patched boot.img from factory in Pixel Flasher but didn't work, also tried using adb and nothing. I think I have flashed the wrong file or something after kirisakura because it would show on Pixel Flasher with a ? at the beginning of the ADB connected devices.
It only would boot to Google logo and then restart, did it a few times but then the screen became black and unresponisive, I've tried vol down power and vol down power and vol down only and vol up power any combination for more than 30 seconds and nothing works, doesn't show on adb devices or wants to boot into any mode.

Did I completely brick my device flashing a wrong boot file after my bootloop? Is there any way to recover my Pixel 6 or should I try to return and ask for a new one and see if they accept it?

Sad thing, my Pixel arrived yesterday and I hard bricked it in the same day.
willing to pay anyone here if someone helps me to boot my pixel again.

Thanks in advance.

I've ran into this issue, somehow I only used power button, it went to boot loop!! then used power button for a few seconds and pressed volume down with it and released them at the same time!! it worked bootloader popped up, then went to recovery and used adb!

Just wanted to say, I got exactly the same problem. What a mess.
Was trying to upgrade to Android 13 with PixelFlasher. I had read the warning regarding the dual slot issue.
PixelFlasher hung while waiting for a fastboot reboot of the device that never came. My phone tried to boot a few times, but failed on the google logo.
I guess it then tried to revert to the other slot that was still on Android 12, since it then became completely bricked.
Complete black screen even while charging.
RMA in progress...

So that others might feel better: Also happened to me. So many years of happy flashing. Then I took a break for some time and now this.

Question: What reason did you give for the RMA process? Software problem? There is no field to describe the actual problem.

Hmm, interesting because the ARB isn't supposed to kick in and blow the eFuse until after a successful boot of A13. Will be interesting to see if they send you a repair card with the cause of the failure like they did with another person here on the forums, unless of course they just send you a new/refurbished one instead of repairing it.

Sorry it happened to you...

Anyone managed to get it fixed? I have the exact same issue black screen and nothing works. I imported my device so warranty is out of the question. I am so pissed at myself.

I apologize for being the bearer of bad news, but there is just no way to fix it other than sending it away for repair (or finding someplace local that does it properly).

Try pixel flasher

That won't work unless you can get into the bootloader.

Somebody, try this ?

If you check out the last page of posts in that thread, you'll see that no one ever had any luck.

There is no way to fix the phone except by having Google repair it.

If pixel flasher recognize your phone you can change slot ( to the other slot where the a13 bootloader is) and boot to fastboot ..
From there you can flash bootloader to both slots ...
One user on telegram fixed it this way

Just to chime in late:
As long as you can get into fastboot, your phone isn't bricked. To enter fastboot from the black screen, hold power and volume down for a long while. You might have to do this a few times.

Does anyone knows the cost of the repairs?
My replacement P6P died 90+ days after I got it, and Google says that they won't do anything, so I have to find someone to fix it for a fee.

Your phone has a one-year warranty (unless you got yours used). Did they give a reason as to why they won't do anything?

First they told me that it's because my Google Pay account being not verified, then because of the device being flagged (no further explanation on that) and today they told me that it's because I modified my OS (which I did not).

So, yeah, Google support, ladies and gentlemen.

Is it brand new or did you buy it used from someone? If used, maybe the phone was reported stolen. Very strange. I certainly don't know what your Google Pay account would have to do with anything.

Are any of these places where you tried to start the RMA process?

• Repairs, replacements & warranties
• File a warranty claim for your Pixel phone
• Hardware Warranty Center

I bought my first P6P in Google Store in US. Long story short, I ended up with it in Germany, where it died on me. I filed RMA claim and got a replacement.
Now this replacement is died after an update and Google's website says that my warranty expired on May 4th (I ordered the replacement on May 5th, by the way), so I can't file RMA claim.
