![]() I even went as far as removing the back glass just so that I could disconnect the battery and any connections around it.Īfter that, in desperation, I tried booting up in bootloader mode by hitting the power+volume down probably 20 times and all of a sudden it booted up in bootloader mode and I was able to flash GrapheneOS onto it to see if it was Google's software that bricked it.Īfter successfully flashing GrapheneOS, I decided to restart the phone and it wouldn't start up again.but after I held the power+volume down buttons, it fired right up and has been doing the same ever since even with just the power button. I plugged it in using 5 different chargers, I used different button combinations, I held the buttons for 30 seconds to a minute at a time, I tried putting the phone in the freezer, I used my heat gun on it, nothing. I just bought a 3XL that wouldn't start up at all no matter what I did. Although it's unlikely, if this post becomes big enough and mods could sticky it we have a chance of getting Google to sort this issue out themselves. If you've had similar issues with the Pixel 3 XL or have any fixes, please post here so we can get a rough estimate of how widespread of an issue this is. Other users have done their research on this issue and have said it's 99% likely that this is being caused by a firmware update issue which surely means this is Google's responsibility to cover warranty wise? Otherwise this could basically be a case of planned obsolescence where their own update causes my device to become unusable and I'm pretty sure that's illegal to a certain extent. My phone's out of warranty since I got it in December 2018 and Google are trying to ask for $350 + tax to repair it (which I'd imagine will probably just consist of them sending me a new phone anyway) and that's not happening. I wake up to find it's stuck on a black screen and won't boot at all, no matter what buttons I press or hold. I plugged in my Pixel 3 XL to charge then went to bed. I've been seeing a fair few posts about this pop up over the last week or so, specifically happening on the Pixel 3 XL. Unless there's some form of class action lawsuit anytime soon this is going nowhere sadly. Google tech support is useless so save yourself the trouble, bite the bullet and get a new phone (Buying a Google phone not advised). This has happened to so many people across here and the Google forums. ![]() NOTE AS OF MONTHS AFTER BEING POSTED: If you came here for a fix, it's not gonna be here.
