Some Google Pixel phones have been hit with bootloop issues, but a fix is now available, sort of.
For the past three months, there have been intermittent reports of Pixel phones being stuck in a bootloop-like state. Unlike a traditional bootloop which leaves the device unable to turn on, users report a device that boots up, but then immediately reboots on unlocking the device. So, not quite bootlooping, but the same end result for the user – and unusable smartphone.
Google has now acknowledged the situation and offered a fix of sorts.
A comment on a thread acknowledges that the issue stemmed from March, April, and May 2026 updates. Google points affected users to support avenues as “the best path forward depends on your device’s specific state.”
Google says:
Thank you for your continued patience as we’ve been investigating a startup or bootloop issue following the March, April, or May software…
