Bootloop Help! - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

Hello. I restored the stock images in magisk, I thought. I tried to do a complete uninstall but it failed. So I fastbooted the April update and it's stuck in a bootloop. I fear I might not have uninstalled magisk. Is there help for me? I tried flashing stock boot image, factory reset, flash all stock. I'm in a pickle. Somebody help me. Thanks

If you don't care about the data on the phone, just do a full flash with wipe.

Do #4 'keep data' to install April factory image. Do #9 to reroot. Use this guide.

I have tried reinstalling stock images with -w without -w it doesn't boot up even still. It boots to stock recovery. That has always worked for me before.
Edit: I got it! It boots into this weird Fastbootd mode it looks like recovery. I thought it wasn't taking the install. I was doing something else and it kept installing even though it was in a recovery looking mode. Shoot I erased all my data and probably didn't need to. Thanks for the help!

Did you try flashing the OTA with the recovery?
Are you using SDK Platform-tools r29.0.6?

Did you uninstall modules? Restore stock boot.img? Fastboot devices gives you a proper response? Try everything they suggested that I do in previous posts. Change the cable you use. The guide from the previous post has a lot of good information. Tell us more.

Happened to me recently when I tried to flash dtbo.img back to stock
For some reason the fastbootd menu wouldn't let me use other fastboot commands, saying it wasn't unlocked, but going fastboot reboot bootloader then using fastboot commands worked successfully.
Very odd

[SOLVED] Stuck on X - HELP!?

ADDING THE LINK HERE NOW : https://www.dropbox.com/s/it4ji9mlohfgagf/NexusOne-rescue-tools.zip
And please, a THANKS would be great if this helped you.
For some reason the phone one day just didn't boot. Was stuck on X logo.
We have tried alot... can't get into recovery, so flashed custom recovery, both RA and CWM... can't get into any of them, just stuck on X.
The phone was stock, and unrooted.
We managed to unlock bootloader via fastboot and root it.
Tried the PASSIMG.ZIP method - not working.
Any ideas?
.... please? =(
EDIT: Problem solved! Send me a PM if you're in the same seat, and i could send you all the files you need.
Oh, all you need is your FASTBOOT to work, no need for ADB, since it didn't work for me either.
EDIT #2:
The reason is that i have a file (ADB, and all the *.img's) needed on my server, and don't wanna post the link here so that's why i have done it thru PM.
But i'll update the first post and just delete the link, so when anyone needs it they can PM me.
So far (2012-02-10) 14 phones confirmed back up running, including mine. Got 2 unconfirmed, and just sent 5 PM's to guys with the same problem.
*** PM ME FOR THE LINK TO THE *.ZIP ***
Unzip, open an command promt, and:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash system system.img
do the commands in that order, and when you are done reboot the phone
and see if it boots.
if NOT: keep on flashing ONLY the boot.img again and again until it
boots. it seems like the boot partition is corrupted and may need alot
of flashing until it works.
i think i flashed like 100 times before it booted. =)
There is also another recovery in that zip... RA's recovery. You can also try that one, no harm done!
Once you get it to boot, you will have FroYo 2.2 installed.
If you got it to boot with recovery.img just let android update to latest (2.3.7?)
If you have RA's recovery, just flash back recovery.img or you wont be able to upgrade to 2.3.7 "the stock way"

How do i find out?
When we searched yesterday (google), we found some ppl who had fixed it, now i can't find those pages again..
So anyone here who knows what to try?
I've been in a similar situation before and just kept fastboot flashing system, recovery, and boot, and eventually I recovered the phone...
I assume since you mentioned that you unlocked the bootloader, that you can get into fastboot? If so, flash a custom recovery (I'd recommend CWM since it includes an option to wipe the system partition) and boot into it.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "c:\location\to\recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery "c:\location\to\recovery.img
If you can get that far, wipe your /system partition and do a factory reset. Then install CM7 (or whatever ROM you want) and gapps.

Thanks!
But we have tried to fastboot system.img, boot.img and recovery.img
Still stuck on X.
Is that code any different perhaps?
I can't try that now, that's why i ask instead of try it =)
All the commands that I posted are supposed to do is install a custom recovery and then boot into it. From recovery, you need to wipe your device by wiping the /system partition and doing a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install whatever ROM you want to.
I've never tried using fastboot to install the system image, so I can't comment on that at all.
O M G!!!
i actually got the phone up and running!! everything is working now, i'm just too awesome
If anyone is interested, i could find out what i did, and which files i flashed, etc etc.

Is it an illegal method, or is there another reason why a fix like this you're only sharing by PM instead of posting it here? I sent you a PM over 24hrs ago and haven't heard back yet. I would think making one helpful post would be much easier than getting irritated at replying to each of 10-100+ PMs

You can use whatever recovery you would like, the system image does not affect the recovery in any way.

The bootloop have nothing to do with my bootloader files, they are completley stock from the ota file!
If you installing the new bootloader files on older roms you are asking for troubles.
Boot the watch in bootloader mode and flash the files as described and you watch will work.
Af if it bootlooping run a "Fastboot -w" after flashing.

Yep, just like in the steps, the thing did show a FAILED (anti-rollback) when flashing the 'aboot'. I just used everything that was on the zip, now the watch doesn't even show the LG logo, I've tried plugging it on and off and keeping the reset button pressed for a while. I really don't know what else to try.
I'm waiting for it to run out of battery, but I don't even know if it's "on".

Did just ran it on my own watch and everything working.
If you aboot fails flashing your watch might have another problem, i assume that your watch have an unlocked bootloader??

Yes, it had the boot loader unlocked, and I can't try again flashing the aboot because I can't get it to recovery mode or fast boot mode or anything.

By people, do you mean 1 person ???
Pretty unfair for other, isn't it ?
I am looking for bootloader files for the G Watch R to flash over what I believe to be a corrupt bootloader on my device. It will only boot when on the charging stand, and so far I have only been able to get it to boot to 5.0.1 successfully. Once the device tries to pull down the OTA update it reboots and proceeds to run the update and then it fails and powers off.
Currently I can access fastboot and I can get it to boot a stock recovery and twrp with the 5.0.1 boot.img flashed to my device.
Can anyone who has downloaded the original package from this thread PM me the files? I need to reflash my bootloader files to attempt to fix a booting issue with my watch. Any help would be appreciated and I will not hold anyone accountable if I hard brick my device.

TWRP
And telling TWRP to boot system just bring you back into TWRP?

This happened to me. I installed custom rom then I went into fastboot and installed stock recovery. I would search in this forum for the stock recovery img file. Once installed, I rebooted and it loaded the rom. I had this problem on the latest twrp version. I installed the previous twrp and I am all good now.

Thank You.
Issue has been resolved. OP is my little cousin who's been messing around a bit too frantically [emoji14]
I restored his device with the unbrick tool by Haris K., all's peachy again. There are still some issues with TWRP for 3T, doesn't run nearly as smooth as on the OPO. It completely failed to restore any working system (both from backup or from reflashing). Sideloading seemingly worked, but rebooted to recovery again, adb push only resulted in errors. Are there any tweaked TWRP releases that can do better?

Need more specific details, like specific method of rooting, version of Magisk, updating to what?, etc...
Unfortunately you may have to flash the factory image and start all over again if no one else can help you with it. At least you have the option. Sucks when that happens.
I mean... the first message just sounds like the bootloader unlocked message which would show up even if you could fully boot in.
I wouldn't factory reset over just this though. Flash the factory image without the -w parameter in flash-all.bat

I agree. Flashing the factory image without the -w would likely allow him to boot up again. But it would be helpful for that person to tell us exactly what they did so we can help them avoid it in the future, e.g. maybe they flashed the stable version of Magisk instead of Beta or Canary, or maybe they tried a direct install instead of patching the boot image, etc...
Ok guys sorry for not giving more details.
So I rooted awhile back when I got the phone, havent updated in a long time so I thought it was time.
I updated to Android 11 with the latest security updates and tried to re-root.
I updated Magisk to the latest version and patched the matching boot image, but Im pretty sure I used the stable version.
I should of researched it more as Im reading the beta method is the way to go.
I opened the command prompt with the following commands:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
Seems like everything went ok...
Then afterwards got the corrupted message and Google hang.
I can still load to fastboot but recovery or rescue doesnt work.
So where can I go from here? I only rooted a few phones in the past so Im still learning and reading lots of posts.
Also I didnt modify my own boot image, but one I downloaded from a matching build.
I really appreciate the help

I would try fastboot flashing the stock boot image first.
If Magisk says you're on a version before 21.0, the patched image won't work for Android 11. Stable is currently 20.4 released in March.

No problem. Glad you got it going. As I see you've already found out, Magisk Beta 21.1 is a good way to go. Canary as well but then you may run into problems in the future when Canary gets updated since those are "cutting edge" builds.
