[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler76:
Hi everyone,

I was in the process of unlocking my bootloader, flashing a recovery and rooting my Pixel C with the Skipsoft Toolkit when something went wrong.

The bootloader unlocked (30 sec screen and chirp) and I flashed TWRP but it got stuck there.

TWRP kept asking for the password to decrypt data, and now everytime I start my Pixel C it goes straight there again.

I've tried different options in the Skipsoft Toolkit but nothing seems to work and goes back to the 'Mount Decrypt Data' TWRP screen.

A few things that Ive tried are listed below.

Any help with me getting back to stock and having the Pixel C working again would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou

Try rebooting the device manually back to fastboot mode:

1. Unplug the usb cable

2. Stand the tablet in landscape mode [power button on top] and Press and Hold the

Power and Volume Down buttons for 10-15 seconds until it reboots to Bootloader

mode. Then select 'Switch to fastboot mode' using the volume button and press

the power button. The device will say 'Waiting for fastboot command...'

From the main menu in the Toolkit choose the Download/Extract/Flash menu, then

select Flash previously downloaded image.

Sometimes there is a glitch in the flash process and doing it again will fix it.
