Morning Folks.
3 Days ago (Saturday) I received my Pixel 6 (Vodafone UK), Sunday evening, the device turned itself off, only noticed in the morning when the alarm didn't go off.
I eventually received my E-Sim from Vodafone yesterday (Monday Morning), All was fine during the day until the evening. The device rebooted, after the reboot I entered my pin, and non of the apps would work, the device rebooted again. After this reboot then I would have 3-5 seconds before it would reboot again.
Went into Fastboot and WIpe/Formatted device... This did not make any difference, it would reboot at the welcome screen instead.
My questions.
Has anyone came across this before on the pixel 6?
The last phone I updated firmware was the Galaxy I5700, and I noticed ADB on the fastboot section, Is it possible to get a Vodafone UK Image for the pixel 6 and reflash it?
The only way this could happen is that you tried to boot a modified boot.img or the system UI was changed.
I do not think you are telling us the whole story here. Missing information.
Try booting in SAFE MODE.

Afternoon
Thanks for the reply. Nope literally the above happened as is, I've no interest in a new ROM, changing any file system, or changing UI... Actually one thing I did change was changing the Icons to Themed Icons(beta mode) or something, this was within Settings, but could not tell you exactly where. Wouldn't think this would affect anything else tho.
I am unable to boot into safe mode. I have wiped the device, and the next reboot takes me to the Welcome Screen (Get your Device Ready) then a few seconds later, it reboots. The reboot afterwards might not even take me to the welcome screen and just get stuck on the Google Logo.
Anyway I've nipped to Vodafone today and the guy at the desk checked it out, going back for a warranty job, he managed to get it to boot to the main screen, but the screen was doing things by its self, and again rebooting for him. See how this goes and maybe they will find the issue.

OK. I have had my Atrix 4G since it first came out. I rooted it and installed apps and made customizations to it, etc.
I never installed a custom ROM since the tweaks I made fit my taste enough to not need to install a custom ROM. I have thought of it...but that is for another time.
Anyways, I recently changed fonts on using FontChanger and everything was working fine. However, last night I decided to change to another font and after rebooting my phone, I am now stuck in the ever so pleasant "Boot Loop".
I have tried wiping and restoring back to factory defaults, which appeared to work, but once I start going thru the process of setting up the phone and getting to the "home" page, the phone will suddenly automatically reboot and start to loop again. I can perform a reset which allows me to go thru the setup process again, but it suddenly reboots again after a few minutes.
I am guessing that perhaps the font is still causing problems, but I am not sure how to check to see if that is the case or not.
I have looked at other boot loop threads but I keep getting a bit confused as to what I should attempt or not attempt to do. It seemed to me that loading the 1.2.6 SBF might be my answer, but I have read that I could brick my phone doing that. Not to mention that some of the download links are dead....
Sorry for being yet another numbnutz and the long thread, but I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to recover!
Thanks!
Ok... So after resetting my phone a few times I noticed that it goes into the boot loop cycle once the screen shuts off/or goes into sleep mode. If I keep the system from going to sleep everything appears to work fine.
My guess is still a font issue, but I thought a factory reset would've replaced the font back to default.
Anyone experience this issue or something similar to it?
And as a second thought can someone link me to the default fonts that I can try to reload?
UPDATE: well it looks like i am good to go again. It just occured to me that I can just download and use FontChanger to replace the bad font with the stock font. i let me phone go to standby mode and it didnt boot loop.
MODERATOR - Please feel free to close this thread as I believe I solved my own problem.
I have little hope for this, but thought I'd post it up anyway before buying a new phone. I have been using the JellyBomb ROM for about two weeks now, and until today it was working fine. Then (seemingly) randomly, while I was browsing a webpage in Firefox, the phone locked up.
"Okay, I'll just force a hard reboot." So I held down the power button and it turned off. When I turned it back on, it got stuck at the HTC screen (I let it sit for about 15 minutes). So I did another hard reboot and booted into bootloader (power + vol down), which came up fine. I went into recovery (TWRP 2.3), which took about 5-10 minutes to move past the TEAMWIN splash screen into the menu.
Once in the menu, I went to reflash the ROM, but no files showed up in either the internal or external storage which I found strange. I then went to reboot from the menu, at which point TWRP informed me that I had no OS installed. At that point, TWRP froze up, so I did a hard power off again and tried to boot it back into recovery but nothing happened. The soft buttons didn't even flash like usual.
Once I had access to my computer, I plugged it in, hoping that something would change with it connected to a PC. At that point, the Windows driver manager reported failure at installing a driver. I checked device manager to see that I had a QHUSB-DLOAD device connected. After some Googling, I attempted Unlimited.IO's fix tool (using a Linux live CD, obviously). I had little hope, however, because my device was S-ON. And sure enough, although the tool reported completion there was no change to the phone.
So, now that that long-winded (and hopefully sufficiently detailed) story is complete, does anyone have any suggestions/advice/instructions for me?
Thanks!

Hey elead got your pm and I'm sorry this has occurred to you. I'm not familiar with the unlimited IO. But I will suggest that you allow your phone to charge tonight while its off... The reason for this is I believe the battery has fallen to a level such that will not allow the boot process to work... Having said that allow it to charge the night... Then see if it will boot into bootloader in the morning. If it does this you should be able to flash an ruu. I realize this is a stressful time, I've been in your shoes before and actually bricked. BUT, I believe your phone is salvalgeable and with a proper charge you be able to fix the issue... Please report back in the morning and let me know... Ok??

I will post back with results. Not like I've got much else to do with it right now, eh? :laugh:
No change. I'm thinking maybe I'll take it to the Sprint store and play dumb to see if they'll just give me a new one (it's worked before!).

i had the same problem but my situation was that i downgraded the radio while s-on. I was in the same situation that you are right now. i did everything i could but nothing worked so my last hope was sending it to HTC and say that i lefted updating the software while sleeping and when i woke up it was like that. i sended they didnt even ask, i got it back like new . :laugh:
hello everyone, my stock s6 edge on rogers is stuck in a boot loop all of a sudden, fully stock and unmodded, running 5.0.2. i was just walking and listening to music through bluetooth headphones and all of a sudden it stopped, and i looked at my phone and it was rebooting. so i just waited and its still stuck in a boot loop after an hour. it gets to the lock screen sometimes, and then after like a second or 2 just reboots again. i have not tinkered or have done anything to my phone either, and had no issues with random reboots ever, so i have no idea what could have happened
some extra info, when it reboots it doesnt always go to the galaxy s6 edge screen, it sometimes just shows the samsung logo with the animation. i have also tried to wipe cache and that didnt work either. after a few reboots however the stock theme was applied at some point. also i tried booting into safe mode and that also didnt work.
i really dont want to wipe my phone, but i will if it is absolutely necessary. so if anyone has any other suggestions that i can try out it will be very much appreciated!
thanks!

I have had said problem before under the same circumstances (although it was with a different phone)
Try using Odin to install the stock Firmware.
A thread explaining how is right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If you don't want the firmware listed in that thread, download from Sammobile.
While some users say it does not wipe the phone, it wipes every time I use it
If this does not work, you should get a warranty replacement.

Thank you for the reply!
weird thing is it fixed itself .. few hours after it started it just booted back up and didnt reboot again, and has been running fine for the past couple hours. but if this happens again i will know what to try next time
Good night everybody! my dad got this phone a while ago, after like 2 months he told me the phone was going crazy, I checked and was getting FC´s everywhere so get into recovery mode to wipe everything and there´s where problems started. I downloaded stock firmware and installed it but phone wouldn´t boot up, so my dad gave it to a guy that ``fixed it´´ but the problem came back after two weeks or so, the guy ´´fix it ´´ again but when I looked into the phone had no IMEI so didn´t recognized the sim card, the third time the guy got back the IMEI, that was long ago and today when I booted up the phone is having a weird behavior, sometimes gets stucked at the bootloader unlock warning, I restart it and after a couple of times starts the boot up animation but gets stucked at the M and like waving part.
I´ve tried getting into recovery mode but when I press any of those options boots to the warning bootloader. I got it to completley turn on when I pressed the recovery option; not expecting that to happened, but again some force close windows and decided to reboot it to see if would fix it but again to the same place stuck at the warning.
I´ve read many posts here im xda and outside but can´t find a solution. I tried to side load the firmware but looks like the pc doesnt recognize the phone´, when i got it boot up I connected it to the pc but didn´t recognized it, I installed the drivers and still the same.
Guess I need to get it recognized by the pc in order to try to side load a firmware. Sorry for the long post and any mistake, if someone can help to bring back to life this little fella.
Hey guys, not sure if there was another thread with this issue but I couldn't find it.
Yesterday at work my phone suddenly froze and then restarted into a bootloop and this is what I did:
I pulled the battery out for a good 10 minutes and tried it back again and it was the same thing again with the bootloop.
I tried to put it in Safe Mode and it started up and then after awhile it froze again and jumped back into the bootloop and wouldn't go back into Safe Mode again.
This time I tried clearing the cache and that didn't work.
Next thing I tried was to Factory Data Reset the phone and it came up after that where I had to go through the whole setup wizard and everything like it was a new phone again. But not long after the phone was running fine it started restarting every couple minutes or if I go in What's App or something else.
I figured that something is wrong with the system itself so I downloaded the 22A update for the VS990 on my laptop (where the version 11B was currently on the phone) to try and update it and honestly that was a bad move because when I tried to flash VIA LGUP, the phone restarted during the process and now I'm getting this on at the top left corner of the logo screen then it reboots continously:
Boot verification failed!!
- cause: MISMATCH_SIG_LEN
Can anyone please help me out, love this phone so much and not looking to get a new one or change it anytime soon :crying::crying:
Are you in warranty or have insurance with extended warranty? Sounds like you'll have to contact VZW and get a replacement. Hopefully you're covered.

I'm really not sure as I bought the phone 2nd hand from Ebay, bought it in August so probably., so would have to contact the original owner and see what he has to say. Sigh only if I could get it to stay on the logo screen at least without restarting I could try flashing it again.
