We aren’t just talking about the general users, the tech enthusiasts were also eagerly waiting to get their hands on this device. Well, Google hasn’t disappointed those niche segments of users either. They have already released the kernel source and device tree for this device, so the custom ROMs and recovery might already be on their way. In the meantime, you could gain administrative privileges by rooting the device via Magisk and in turn bring a plethora of mods. However, carrying out these tweaks could prove to be quite risky as well. If not done correctly, then your device might end up in a bootloop of softbrick state. Even in that state, you could easily unbrick your Pixel 6A via Fastboot commands. And in this guide, we will help you with just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
Unbrick Google Pixel 6A via Fastboot Commands
The below process will wipe off all the data from your device, so take a complete device backup beforehand. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps. NOTE: Before carrying out the below steps, your device’s bootloader should be unlocked. For most users, this might already be the case. However, if you haven’t done so and the OEM unlock toggle on your device is enabled, then please Unlock the Bootloader on Google Pixel 6A [it will wipe all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty].
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Download Pixel 6A Stock Firmware
STEP 3: Boot Pixel 6A to Fastboot Mode
You will now have to boot your device to the Fastboot Mode. In most cases, as soon as the device is soft-bricked it automatically gets booted to Fastboot. However, if your device is stuck in a bootloop, then let it drain the battery so that the device gets powered off. Then connect your device to the charger and as soon as you do so, press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys. Your device will now be booted to Fastboot.
STEP 4: Unbrick Pixel 6A via Fastboot Commands
So these were the steps to unbrick the Google Pixel 6A via Fastboot Commands. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest. Whenever a device is in bootloop or softbrick state, it is always recommended to perform a factory reset before/during flashing the firmware file. Well, chances are your device might not even boot if you don’t perform the reset. But still, if you wish to give it a try and unbrick your device without performing a reset, then here’s what you need to do:
