Easy Google Pixel 6 Unbrick Tutorial with the Android Flash Tool

In this video I show how to fix a bricked Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a smartphone using the Android Flash Tool website.

Video Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are many things that can brick the Google Pixel 6 series and in today's video I'll be showing you how to unbrick any of these three devices using the Android Flash tool website in Chrome.

This process will require that you have a PC so that we can use the website Google has created. And it will require you to connect the smartphone to the PC with a USB cable. This guide also requires you to have an unlocked bootloader ahead of time since we're flashing firmware images. Completing this unbrick tutorial will erase everything on your device so that it can boot into Android like normal.

The first thing we're going to need to do is boot the Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro or the Pixel 6 a into Fastboot Mode. It doesn't matter which of these phones you own, accessing Fastboot Mode will be the same thing.

In order to do this while your phone is in a bootloop, we're going to need to press and hold the Volume Down button while the phone is rebooting over and over. If you're holding down this button while the device boots up, it should get you into the Fastboot Mode screen that you see here.

If you need more detailed instructions on how to access Fastboot Mode on the Google Pixel 6 series, be sure to check the video description below as I'll have a link to a dedicated tutorial I did that covers all of that.

Once the phone is in Fastboot Mode, we need to open up the Google Factory Images website in Chrome on the Desktop. I'll have this page linked in the video description below for those who want a direct link to the page. Just make sure you're on the Factory Images page and not the Full OTA Images page as that is used for something different.

Now, we want to scroll down until you find the section for your specific device. Meaning, if you have the Pixel 6 Pro, then you want to scroll down until you see the Pixel 6 Pro section. If you have the Pixel 6a smartphone, then look for the section that lists the firmware for that individual device.

To use the Android Flash Tool from here, click the Flash link next to the firmware that you have chosen.

Once we're back to the Home Screen, we have completed the Google Pixel 6 unbrick tutorial and you can set up your phone like normal. If you have any backed up data, go ahead and store the data as you normally would. And use the comments section below if you have any questions or come across any issues related fixing bootloop.

My brother. Thank you so much. I cannot express my gratitude. You have brought honor to your family. Was able to do this for my pixel 7. God bless

I love how fast that was, I also love how Google lets you unbrick your own device without having to send it in, I feel like Google should force all OEMs to provide a tool for any device.

[roovaaaa]

Thanks a ton! You totally saved me.
My Pixel 6 was bricked, but now it’s back to normal.
I followed your instructions, and even though my Pixel 6 had OEM Unlock and USB Debugging turned off, I was still able to flash it. And IMEI still exist.

coming from a xiaomi phone where you have to pay to have this done im delighted to have this process.

[BL_Denni]

Glad I was a couple years ahead of these kyles

My pixel 6 is stuck in “Fastboot Mode” and it says “NOS production: Error!” Also “Device state: error!”. When I try to follow the steps you’ve shown I get a message that says “Flash Failed Fastboot command (flash:bootloader_a) failed: ‘error getting device locked state -1’ “ and it doesn’t re install the software.. anyone knows how to fix this?

[andrewtucker]

You saved by bacon after a root attempt that turned into a boot loop, I appreciate it!

[sarahhayes]

You saved my device! Just a great video. Thank you so much!

[peterelek]

You helped me a lot with this video, thx!

[shaggytoph]

question, can you unlock the bootloader without going to "developer options" and enable "OEM unlocking" ? because my phone is stuck in fastboot mode & the command "fastboot flashing unlock" on CMD won't work because I haven't previously enabled that "OEM unlocking" setting (the phone got in this state out of nowhere, a security patch randomly updated & this happened, yes, just like if google killed it on purpose).

[thdprocessor]

Nice tutorial, my GP 3xl is bricked, only shows qualcomn usb port ... any recommendation of a flash tool please?

[Jonas_Brot]

Thank you so much man, you just saved my life 🙏

[SharisonStreams]

If your phone is stuck on the google screen how do you enable OEM unlocking so you can use the flash tool?

[rodrigoguimaraesp]

My device seems to be corrupted but in the installation process it asks me to OEM unlock. But I don't have access to that. My device is from Verizon. What can I do?

[benjamindzivenu]

My pixel 6 auto restart 5 or 6 times in the day, if i do your turorial it will solve the auto-restart problem ?

[showmensarker]

will unlocking bootloader will remove my esim?

[AbdouKaradja]

My pixel 6a keeps restarting when im not using it, does this unbricking method help ?

[isme]

I bought my Pixel 6 Pro with rooted, and it seem flashing factory imges will get me back to original rom, but I check my pixel 6 pro IMEI which tell me model of the phone "Google Pixel 6 Pro Cloudy White AT&T" Carrier: AT&T USA.
So which one should I select to Flash in Facetory Images?

[SeaBlueJay]

is there a way to do this when my phone is locked? Can I use my computer to unlock it?

[ninoreyvenfortes]

Btw this working in a locked state bootloader pixel 6?
