Well, that went about as good as expected.

After a lot of troubleshooting with the support agent, they suggested I could RMA it, I told them I'm not in a country where they have repair services and they politely told me to fu*k off basically.

So I'm stuck with a bricked phone that i can't have serviced unless 'i have a friend who can send it for me, from a supported county'
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
Sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to find support. You could still try taking it to a repair facility, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to get a new main board but I've been wrong before too, so...
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
Problem is, since Google doesn't officially sell pixel phones where I live, they also don't have any service centers and they don't sell parts either. Which sucks, I don't see why this artificial limitation has to exist, since Google has a mail in repair program and service centers across several EU countries.

Their excuse is that they can't ship it back to you because their shipping partners don't work anywhere outside the countries where they sell pixels.
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
Yes when flashing partitions there is a needed boot in-between some operations that doing what you did skipped one.

I fixed this same problem and many other crazy yellow warnings and etc by toying with the change boot slot etc. i do not recall what worked but some of this might help:

fastboot --set-active=a

or this depending on what is set:

fastboot --set-active=b

So if it's A then set to B and vice versa. then let it do a reboot.

you could also try the hard reset keys to interrupt the boot. (the system check for previous successful boot status)

Give it a shot i will do my best to check and get back to you once you have tested that.
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
https://flash.android.com/

how about this above? flash all partitions and return to stock.
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
Have you already sent it back? lol
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
Yeah so the system was updating its critical components and now it is failing integrity checks on the installed software. this wouldn't likely have happened if google didn't decide to modularize the primary components of the system??

I'm fairly confident while the system prepped for a reboot into a new system after an update it failed to tell the system a reboot was happening and the code for the boot that said "ok I'm updating now boot slot [whatever is next]" it attempted to boot the same slot because the battery dyeing.

but keep me posted I'm curious.
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
the reboot cycle being interrupted again over and over in sequence will force the system to attempt to boot the next slot. becasue it assumes the system made the error , which funnily isn't auto rebooting back when you get this error.

what has also helped in the pas is running the fomat userdata

#format userdata
fastboot format userdata

#format cache
fastboot format cache

then try this on both and if that doesn't work try it on one hard reset instead of selecting reboot anywhere and attempt change boot slot then redo https://flash.android.com/

I hope any of this helps.

Also you could RMA it this is too much for most consumers to have to deal with while needing actively a phone to use. but they get you for convince. LOL
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
@Solomon M going to try my best to reply to everything you said in one post.

Haven't sent it back yet, still figuring out if I even can, lol.

So, I've tried changing the boot slot but it doesn't help since the command doesn't actually execute, I think. I get failed to get unlock ability -1

Also tried flash.android.com, same error.

The interupt boot sequence thing you mentioned is interesting, I will try it if I can figure out what's the key combo. If you can help with that, much appreciated.

Also, it says it's on slot b now, so of I understand correctly, interrupting boot enough times with force it to cycle back to slot a, right?

Will also try formatting, and flashing again.

Unfortunately, it'll have to wait a bit because work, bleh.

Do I have to charge it a little bit first, before attempting all of that? I'm pretty sure it's completely drained since I left it sitting in a drawer.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
If your battery is completely drained, you might want to plug it in and hold the power button down for a while and see if it boots. As I mentioned earlier, I've seen this work for someone in a similar situation. Can't hurt...
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
bit of an update, i fried the formatting options but i get the flowing:

fastboot format userdata
Formatting is not supported for file system with type 'raw'.
fastboot format cache
FAILED (remote: variable (partition-type:cache) not found)

also, the thing about interrupting boot, i either can't figure out how or it doesn't do much. I tried powering on and holding the keys but on power + vol down it goes into fastboot again and on anything else, it doesn't do anything.

also also, the drain battery trick didn't help
[Google Pixel 6] boom15:
This happens because you where on android 12 and not properly flash android 13. There was warning about that to devs. Here is some steps to follow not get in trouble. Read it, maybe you get luck!

Basically with unlock bootloader I would do next.

Get last sq3a factory image, extract it, get dbto, boot, vendor_boot, vendor_dlkm img form image-oriole-*.zip.and flash it

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot reboot-fastboot

If success boot into fastbootd flash vendor_dlkm
fastboot flash vendor_dlkm vendor_dlkm.img
fastboot reboot
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
Thanks for the suggestion, will try, but I really don't think that's the case. This phone wasn't being flashed when it happened and the bootloader version isn't from 13 (from what i read).

Also, bootloader is locked so I can't flash anything manually and I can't unlock it wince it doesn't boot.
[Google Pixel 6] boom15:
I didn't say that you on 13, I said it can happens when updates apply to 13 and I suggest to get last version of 12. It one reason why I disable auto updates, so called updates do more harm that help for good working stuff!

Even with lock bootloader you can try to flash full factory img. You already erase you data so no worry here. Get full factory img and try to flash using flash-all. Remove section if fi if script complain about old fastboot. If it not found you phone start script in terminal, hold power+down button untill it boots to bootloader, release buttons and see what's going on terminal.Try several times, don't give up. Good luck!
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
okay, so I tried the stuff you suggested but pretty much got what I expected. It refuses to flash anything because of

FAILED: failed to get unlock ability -1

I'm starting to weight my options and I'll probably have to look for a service center within the EU where they won't refuse to take it, because google doesn't want it back. 🙃
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
When you are in bootloader mode, can you select Recovery and if yes can you boot into the recovery?

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
nope

when I try to go to recovery or rescue mode it just reboots straight back to fastboot.
[Google Pixel 6] Zaxx32:
If I wasn't so far and prolly flagged as an @ssh0le for the dump truck loads of grief I gave them when my phone came back 3 WEEKS later having had repairs it didn't need and a 'can not communicate with the fingerprint sensor' error. After which, I blew a gasket and eventually got a brand NEW replacement phone sent overnight. :cool: Hope u can find a trustworthy in a 'google friendly' country to help u out. As massive as Google is, they should have a special 'team of experts', aka a couple of CSR's and a super...ready to assist with such a drastic shipping issue from a contractor FedEx, prolly makin' huge money. SMDH...😖💩👎
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
I tend to agree about the support. It's ridiculous to use an excuse such as 'our couriers don't ship in your country' when their EU support center itself is located in a country where they don't sell pixels.

(If you send a pixel for repairs, from within Germany for example, they ship it to Poland where their repair center apparently is, but they'd go out of their way to specifically not give you the address so you can't send your device yourself. Had to RMA a 4a a couple of months ago, through a friend. The sad part is that the said friend is no longer in Germany, so I don't have that option anymore.)
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
How did you import it to your country? Bought online and shipped to your country? Traveled and brought it back?

Cheers
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
Bought online on ebay uk, had it shipped through a proxy shipping company.
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
HARD RESET KEYS: [VOLUME UP] + [POWER] (wait about 10 seconds)

If you wanted to be in "Fastboot Mode" then you'd hold [VOLUME DOWN] after the screen forces off.

on my phone without this issue i cannot get it to change its boot slot via this method.

i also tested this and got this:

fastboot --set-active=a

error: "

Setting current slot to 'a'

FAILED (remote: 'command (set_active:) is not allowed when locked')

fastboot: error: Command failed"

you are familiar with how to get to recovery tho correct?

once you get tot the screen where it says no command yoy press the power and vulume up to see the menu etc etc....

What you are saying is that is is going back to the "fastboot mode" screen not the "fastbootd" screen correct?

please provide all the details you can about what you are seeing .... if the device was able to be observed on a video or even images of each screen in color then we may be able to provide you with more information to what other steps to try.

does yours say this? see link.

Pls include an image of that the screens you can get to look like. blur the serial info

link to image ref: https://support.google.com/pixelpho...ixel-6-fastboot-mode-error-boot-failure?hl=en
[Google Pixel 6] Solomon M:
Yes the device should be charged before doing all this stuff. ( Above 80% )
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
yep, I've tried to get to recovery but once you select anything from the menu, other than bar code, it just goes back to fastboot. It doesn't go into recovery. I've also tried the key combos multiple times each, no luck.

Picture:
[Google Pixel 6] ternell99:
Any updates on this issue? Any luck getting it to boot? If so, what worked? I'm having the same exact issue.
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
Actually, yes. I have an update but I was waiting for 'closure' to post the whole story.

Unfortunately, nothing that I did managed to make it boot. I was tallying my options at that point and since Google wouldn't take it for a warranty repair, I decided to reach out to one of their contractors, that they had listed on their support page - Comspot Repair Germany.

It was a long shot, but it said that the pixel 6 and onwards can be warranty serviced, I wrote an email and to my surprise they said they'd take it in.

I sent it back in late November, but they said they are having part shortage problems from Google's side and it still isn't really repaired. So far, so good tho, with the exception of the time it's taking.

Tldr, if you live in a country in the EU (they were really adamant about that), and have a pixel 6, or later, in warranty, it looks like Comspot Repair might be worth considering.

I will update the original post with more details when I actually get the thing back. Until then, I know it's not what you expected to read but I hope it helps you at least a little.
[Google Pixel 6] Jaitsu:
Curious what the issue was, if the repair company can tell you. Storage chip gone bad, maybe? Short of hardware failure it seems like the whole A/B slot thing is built around preventing problems like this.
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
I'd ask but I imagine they may not know either, since the procedure is to replace the whole motherboard, hence the part shortage thing.
[Google Pixel 6] c0dex:
anyone experienced "PRODUCTION can't reflash unauthorized image" in fastboot mode?
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
So, possibly a final update on the issue. I managed to get the phone serviced under warranty, despite living in a country here Google themselves refuse to provide service. I updated the OP with more details about the hole thing, I think i'll leave it at that, unless any questions are asked.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and help. I wasn't told what caused the issue in the end.
[Google Pixel 6] supermansaga:
I have run into this issue as well after the Magisk Canary 25206>25207>25208 disaster where I also forgot to unhide 25206 first. Rootchecker reported root is not properly installed. So I followed https://www.droidwin.com/fix-root-is-not-properly-installed-missing-magisk-root/ to try to flash to both a and b. Now both slot has boot failure. I guess I am going to re-flash everything and wipe the phone. This is so unfortunate on the cusp of March update release. Spent 20hrs + on this whole Android journey. I wish I wasn't tempted away from iOS...
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
Have you tried the pixel repair tool yet (or the android flash tool)? If your phone can go to rescue mode, it's definitely worth the shot.

Other than that I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked, so you should be able to manually reflash it if it comes to that. For your sake, let's hope your issue is not the same as mine.
[Google Pixel 6] supermansaga:
I can't go into rescue mode and got stuck with boot failure for both slot a and b. I just used android flash tool to redo everything, but i continue to find 25208 unable to hide itself.
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
Sounds like an issue with Magisk, which wouldn't be unexpected on the canary branch.

Did you manage to recover to a bootable system?
[Google Pixel 6] supermansaga:
No.

No. Not smart enough. I am back to the old 25206 Canary. At this point, everything works fine, except root checker is again saying root access is not installed on this device... May be due to slot a vs slot b issue.
[Google Pixel 6] CreepyGamer2:
I have the same issue too on my 6a, only difference is that I am not rooted, and on stock everything, I managed to get the phone to power off completely by holding power and volume down till the screen went dark, now showing flat battery icon when trying to power on, and when plugged in its showing that its charging. Will update if this may be the fix.

EDIT: nope, not at all.
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
If you mean the same situation as described originally, then your best bet is probably the pixel recovery tool.

Failing that, the only option left is to send it back to Google. I have not managed to find anyone that has had this happen and then have their phone recover, unfortunately. I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue since the procedure at the repair center is to replace the entire motherboard.

If you can, send it back to google directly. If you can't, but live in an EU country, take a look at the OP for more details.
[Google Pixel 6] GeekGaut:
My Pixel 6 is stucked with the exact issue, did anyone try anything apart?
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
I doubt there is much to be done, if it's a hardware fault. I haven't stayed up-to-date with the topic for the past few months, but i don't think anyone has been able to resolve it with anything else than warranty replacement. :/
[Google Pixel 6] possa95:
Hi, unfortunately i am having the exact same issue, but the website seems to be all in german, is it right? Did you send an email in english, or do you speak german?

thanks a lot

Andre
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
yep, it's the right one.

I sent them an email before and they do spea english so it's fine. I was told to just start a ne repair through their site so I used google translate to get around. It does the job.
[Google Pixel 6] Shanto555:
Finally yesterday fixed the problem....
[Google Pixel 6] RiseAgainstftwtw:
Just solved it on my wife's phone by taking the screen off and giving the insides a dose of deoxit. Let it sit for a couple of hours and the phone booted up first thing.

It might not be the best course of action, but it worked.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] parhit:
Hello everyone.

First of all, a big BIG thank you @Englezos for this ROM, even unofficial. For the little I used it, it is extremely functional, much more than the unofficial ROM /e /OS https://community.e.foundation/t/un...-mi9t-pro-raphael-e-os-q-build/24814?u=parhit (last update in May 2021 and many bugs). No worries on my side about digital recognition, ergonomics and even the separation of personal and professional profiles (via Insular). I had a bit of trouble installing it (the adb sideload was showing 40% and made me restart but it didn't work, same thing the second time but there I just waited maybe a bit more before seeing with relief the Lineage logo).

I'm reporting some bugs I've encountered, on the personal or pro side.

# Applications (via Aurora Store)​

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] penglezos:
1. That's the default AOSP behavior until Google changes it. You can try lower the density.

2. Because this device is not a Google Pixel.

It appears that it was a LineageOS bug which is already fixed and will be included into the next build. About the phone calling issue that you just described I can't reproduce it.

Thanks for your words and your detailed feedback. I'm glad that you have managed to installed the rom successfully.

About the Yuka app unfortunately its not available on my country and I can't install it via Google Playstore.

Brain and Uphold apps are loading and working fine.

Android browser: It appears that it was a LineageOS bug which is already fixed and will be included into the next build.

The alarm clock won't work if your device is powered off. Why would you want such thing?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] parhit:
Hi Englezos, thanks for the fast feedback.

Yuka only in France? ****... Maybe with a VPN? Can I help?

Brain.fm and Uphold working fine? Holy sh*t. I don't know why it doesn't work here. What tool do you use to install apps?

Browser: ok, I am using Bromite but it sounds good if it will be fixed.

Alarm: well, an alarm clock that doesn't ring is strange, isn't it? :) I didn't have a watch and I turn off the phone at night. So I thought the alarm would go off even if it was off (which is what was happening with Murena). Am I the only one doing this?

You should always clean flash when coming from another rom. Try another phone app also.
