Right after that vibration I connected a generic (NONAME) USB-C USB-A cable to both the device and my Linux machine, and fortunately the device was recognized by the system and fastboot was able to detect the device correctly. It were about 10 unsuccessful attempts of system loading before that vibration.ĥ. So I just pressed the power button and did not release it until I noticed a vibration. The default option in the bootloader is 'Start' if I remember correctly. The device was not recognized by any of my machines at all, lsusb did not show anything new in the system, and, respectively, fastboot did not see the device.Ĥ. It started into bootloader and showed the 'slot unbootable' error.ģ. The device started to be recognized (USB/fastboot) after about 10 unsuccessful attempts to start the system: 'Start', from bootloader.Ģ. Hey guys, I have just been able to get mine alive. 'December factory image seems to have broken fastboot enumeration'Ī possible way to resurrect a bricked Pixel 2. Well right here in XDA Pixel 2 forum there is a solution waiting to be used. Most of the people recommended that I get a replacement from Google support as they had tried everything but it didn't work. My problem started when I tried to restore a nandroid backup after trying out Android Q beta 1.

If your bootloader is unlocked you might be able to recover your phone to flash a stock image and revive. If you get the above error you will find that you cannot boot into recovery and the phone stays in the bootloader screen each time you try to start the phone.
