Yes, it is my own fault. I rooted yesterday, and installed a kernel today. All was fine until I tried to update to to the November update, never got that far.

I made sure to use the correct factory image for Magisk.

In adb i typed fastboot recovery, and my is now stuck on the google splash screen.

I can boot to fastboot, with the power button, and down arrow, and that's it.

fastboot devices, in adb does return the serial number.

I am unable to get beyond that. I know I'm softbricked.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After about 20 tries, I was finally able to boot to recovery. I'm going to factory reset, and redo. Thanks for the help, though.

Here is an update:

When I run adb devices, the serial number is not returned.

When I run fast devices, the serial number is returned.

I have extracted all the files from the zip, for the image, there is no boot.sig, recovery.img, system.sig, or vendor sig.

In adb mode in the OS, try typing..adb kill-server...
Then allow your device to always communicate with your pc, your having a driver issue. Your readout for your factory image is correct. There is no recovery anymore, it's tied in with the boot.img

@mimart7
If you booted fastboot mode, fastboot devices is all that is needed to insure your phone is communicating with your computer.
Are you using the latest SDK platform-tools 29.0.5?
If yes, is the Platform-tools, and the extracted factory image files in this folder C:\Platform-tools\New folder?

What situation? SDK Platform-tools r29.0.6?
What are you trying to do?
Yup SDK r29.0.6.
I was soft-bricked and stuck in a boot loop.

I managed to get to recovery mode but only by flashing all the files then holding the power button & volume up button.
Once in recovery, I tried a million things to figure out how to get it back to a clean slate.
After hundreds of tries, I managed to sideload flame OTA.
The phone's bootloader is now unlocked.

Now going to focus on what I did wrong originally when trying to get Magisk on the Pixel 4 :laugh:
