Earlier today while streaming, the device froze up, and would not respond to any button presses. I unplugged it, and since then it will no longer boot.

I tried everything I can troubleshoot the issue:

Tried another HDMI port on the TV

Tried another TV

Changed out the power adapter

Tried without the power adapter plugging USB into TV

Swapped out the USB cord

Tried resetting using the remote (select + home)

Tried reconnecting the remote (right + rewind)

Messed with the power adapter port to ensure it was connecting

Bought it at Best Buy. I've only had it for a year, and two months. Amazon is willing to discount the purchase of another by 15%, and Best Buy will only do something for an $130 payment to Geek Squad. I'd like any suggestion for fixing it before I decide to break it open, and scope out the circuit board. I would really hate to buy a new one.

If you connect it to a pc did you see any device in the device manager?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macenor:
After I plugged it in to the PC, it did actually start boot looping. It shows up in Device Manager for a second, or so before boot looping again. I read somewhere you can get it to boot into safe mode with "CTRL + I + Print-Screen + Menu", however it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I need to direct connect my keyboard with an OTG adapter.

Yes this could work, you need this cable or similar.

I'll look for something similar this week (that particular product isn't available in the US) and try to get it to boot into safe-mode. I'll try to post an update if anything changes.

[Google Pixel 7] kei0520:
Hi guys,

I recently bought a used Pixel 7, and noted the bootloader was unlocked. It was running stock Android, but I was still sketched out. So I Googled how to relock the bootloader. Unfortuantely the guide I used did not mention that I should ensure "OEM unlocking" is enabled from the OS before I attempted to relock it via ADB and Fastboot. So I now have a device that has Bootloader locked, OEM unlocking disabled, and the phone says "No valid operating system could be found".

This is the exact guide I followed:

How to Lock the Google Pixel 7 Bootloader?

Before we dive into the process, let's quickly discuss why you might want to lock the bootloader of your Google Pixel 7. While unlocking the

krispitech.com

Edit: I do not have access to Recovery or Rescue modes, so sideload OTA is not working either.

Did I permanantly brick my device? I tried to search the forums quickly but couldn't locate anyone with my exact issue.

Thanks for any input =)
[Google Pixel 7] dimpoblimpo:
Can you not just go here?

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

Scroll down to your phone and desired firmware, hit the link that says flash and let it do it's thing.
[Google Pixel 7] kei0520:
​

As with all other methods I've tried so far, once i get to the final step, I get this message:

"Device Unlock Disabled​

For security reasons, you need to enable "OEM unlocking" in order to flash your device."

This is because OEM unlocking is current disabled, and I can't get into the OS to enable it. I also cannot manually change the Boot slot, says not allowed when locked.

I fear I'm completely locked out.....

[Google Pixel 7] TechX1991:
your only option is probably warranty via google. I've sent them devices like this before, and they sent it back working. If its less than a year old, there might be no cost to do this
[Google Pixel 7] dimpoblimpo:

[Google Pixel 7] kei0520:
Thanks for taking the time anyway. I appreciate it.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I'm sorry to inform you but your phone is now hard bricked.

I know you are new to Pixels (or at least seem to be as you state you just got a used one), but it's been a tale of caution & danger since the first Pixel about 8 years ago to never relock the bootloader unless you flash both slots with the stock ROM w/ wipe, and to never untick the OEM unlock (especially when considering relocking the bootloader) -- I've been on the Pixel forums since Pixel 2 and there are many stories where people seemed to have flashed the stock ROM correctly, but after unticking the OEM unlock it'd suddenly and inexplicably break -- with the unticking leaving no avenue to any real methods of recovery. And there's innumerable stories of just hard-bricked devices from relocking the bootloader in general (for the Pixels). I wish they had the tools they do now, back then.

The main issue is that once you untick that OEM unlock, pretty much all hope of recovery on the side of the user is gone; save for going in Recovery mode and attempting to Factory reset. But in terms of unlocking bootloader or custom ROMs, once that's unticked, there's nothing that can be done on your end. The issue is by unticking that, you lose all access to what you possibly could have done.

For any who do want to relock their bootloader, I always point them to the official Android tool in post #4 as since it's an official tool, it has the highest chance of implementing and doing things properly so there's the most minimal risk of this happening.

Since the phone isn't a year old yet, you might have a chance at getting it repaired under warranty. But since it is owned second-hand, and/or it's fairly obvious it was broken in an attempt to be modified, you will probably encounter some problems. But I doubt you'd lose anything trying; especially if you bring it to a uBreakiFix [vs. Google support as Google support will ask a lot of questions, and after sending it to Google's repair center, the guys at their center might do a deep dive and deem it user error] (if anything, I suppose there have been instances where this type of thing happened during an OTA update ;) )

Sorry for not better news...
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
I've said it before, but I don't understand why google won't allow you to flash a stock/signed image on your phone regardless of oem unlock or bootloader unlock. I can understand restricting commands, or restricting older firmware, but restricting basic repair is weird. Especially on a Pixel phone. Maybe I can post this issue to a dev and get their reasoning for this.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
yeah...I've heard this biggest gripe about the Pixel line. It really doesn't make sense -- especially compared to how other OEMs allow things. I wonder what Google's reasoning/justification is. Probably finding some kind of exploit using such stock signed images to unlock the bootloader on a variant or something...or they probably can't allow it without also allowing older firmware with exploits or vulnerabilities...
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
Of course security should be a concern, but most exploits are patched through security updates and have been for years. Motorola was always great about letting you to flash an official signed image as long as it was the same version on the phone or newer. To prevent rollbacks and potential exploits obviously.

I feel like google could offer a monthly maintained repair image that could flashed for situations like this and save all the RMAs. Either way, I'm going to reach out and see if this is something that is possible to get, or maybe they can implement something through their web flash to get people back up and running.
[Google Pixel 7] kei0520:
Thanks everyone for your input. I will try my luck with ubreakifix. I have my doubts I'll get anywhere. But I have nothing to lose. Worst comes to worst, I now have an expensive paperweight. I'll take the hit and move on =/

You're all awesome and I appreciate you each taking the time. Truly!
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I was thinking the same -- that Google could easily implement it in their official web tool. There's already a lot of checks and such protocols to make sure everything is kosher before flashing things on it. I'm sure they could implement double-checking whatever they need to on their server side to confirm whatever they need to on the phone -- on top of whatever else they need to confirm to establish it being a safe flash.

The thing is that they're about to release the Pixel 8 -- not to mention the Nexus before -- and it's not like they don't have the other OEMs to observe and maybe even take inspiration from, and yet they haven't seemingly made any indications towards any progression towards anything like this; at least publicly -- and there's also those deep diving snoops that look at code to make release news on what may be coming based off of code they see in the breakdown not seeing anything such....

But hey...I'm all for you being the catalyst to this if it gets there and gets the ball rolling to that end eventually. I do imagine this would save them a lot of RMA processing. But, then again, maybe they want all the RMAs....
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
Good luck to you. Like I said, if it were me, I wouldn't mention relocking the bootloader and maybe mention that you've read OTA errors have resulted in things like this ;) . They are probably more amenable than Google service center workers....

I don't think so you will find one. GCam is continuously capturing frames even if you haven't pressed the shutter button (https://ai.googleblog.com/2021/04/hdr-with-bracketing-on-pixel-phones.html), and so this wouldn't really be possible unless you tweak some flags inside a modded gcam

[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
Your questions isn't specific toHTC Touch HD (4G) at all, its just a general windows mobile issue. So you shouldn't ask in this forum, and creating two threads for the same topic isn't fine as well.

But I think you questions get answered in the other thread.
[Touch HD General] Begovaya:
Thank you, johnpatcher. That was just my first post. I do have more questions (as a new user of WinMo) to post later. After all, writing in English takes much time for me.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if any one can answer my questions specific to Max4G, since it is not for sale outside Russia, yet.

But it'll be interesting to compare it with HD, won't it? :o

p.s. I posted some questions on a Russian forum, however, I didn't find such good forum there compared to xda-developers.
[Touch HD General] Begovaya:
HTC Max4G vs HTC HD

some simple comparison by a WinMo newbie:

Advantages of Max4G over HD

1. supports 4G WiMax

2. 1500mAh battery (HD: 1350)

3. built in 8GB memory (HD: 512MB ROM)

4. supports TV-Out (HD: none)

5. (disputable) looks better

Disadvantages of Max4G to HD

1. no 3.5mm audio jack

2. doesn't support 3G (no HSDPA/WCDMA）

3. minimum accessories in the kit, no soft case, microSD

4. costs 1050 USD in Moscow (sorry I wrote an incorrect price in another post)

--- however, this price is regarded low in Moscow provided the price for Touch Pro is 1300 USD there.

5. sports 3.2 megapixel camera (HD: 5.0 megapixel)

--- but this is an advantage for me, since I think 2.0 mega is enough for such small lense. Extra pixels don't improve the quality of photos at all; mostly they just waste more memory.

Equals

1. no flash for camera :mad:

2. gorgeous 3.8" display :cool:

3. expansion slot microSD

4. no GPS software

5. both support GPRS, EDGE, WiFi

6. equivalent CPU (I guess?)

I always heard that WinMo has great choices of software applications, but so far I cannot find the text input/keyboard for Chinese and Japanese languages. :confused:

The only program I heard is CE-Star, which is said to be perfect for X1. But I downloaded the trial version from the official website, and it caused serious crash on my Max4G :( Could it be due to the Russian interface on Max...??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Touch HD General] Begovaya:

But thanks anyway!
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
The diamond actually was published after the Touch, wasn't it :p? So maybe just give it a try.
[Touch HD General] sproxy:
Perhaps being unable to read Chinese meant being brave enough to install it on diamond and pressing ok wherever I saw it. :) All I can say is it has very good integration on Diamond. It works fine on sms, email and messenger so far I had no complaint from her. I am not sure if the resolution difference would be an issue. It works perfect on my case. Also, never tested on official rom as well but i guess should be ok.
[Touch HD General] Begovaya:
WiMax in Russia

Right now the 4G WiMax network is only functioning in two Russian cities: Saint Petersburg & Moscow. Last time when I was there, the 4G coverage was not satisfactory. I guess that is why Yota is free of charge so far, and it'll begin to charge around 50USD/month - unlimited access - after 31 March 2009 when the company Scartel promises to complete most of the construction.

(Don't you think 50USD is too expensive only for 4G service? The Moscow MTS GSM charges me about 70USD/month; that's 120USD totally. :( )

With that unlimited 4G access, Scartel says you can listen to tons of free music and watch tens of TV channels -- almost useless for me personally.

After booting up a new Max4G device, you have to download the Yota Center program in order to start up its service. But you need at first to find WiFi or spend a whole hour on downloading it via GPRS. Why couldn't they just save the program in the Max4G CDROM? :(

I was located in Moscow downtown. The 4G signal was very weak. The signal (RSSI) was around -90dB and the quality (CINR) was 9dB averagely.

However, it dropped to zero if you walk away from the window. That is, it was only usable on the road -- but I did not want to use a phone on a December Moscow street at all! ...So I gave up and switched to WiFi.

Some Russian guy told me he enjoys the high speed music channel when driving. It's also said the Yota network works better in Saint Petersburg.

My preliminary conclusion is, so far it's pain to use WiMax. Let's wait until January 2009 and I'll share my experience again.
[Touch HD General] Begovaya:
You are right. If it works fine on a Diamond, there's a chance it works on Max4G, too.

I'll install the Spb Backup before trying the StudioKuma, in case it fails. :p

Today I got on my hand 3 phones altogether: Max4G, HD and a white Diamond.

I confirm that the batteries for Max & HD are completely different in dimension. The battery for Max is much larger.

When holding Max & HD side by side, you feel Max is slightly larger and thicker, and you understand that Max has to be "square" to keep its size reasonably slim.

I took some pictures by my SE P1i, but it was too dim and the result was horrible. Anyway, I'll post them up here later.
