This is good news for Pixel 6 owners who have been holding off on updating to Android 14, but it’s not much help for those already affected by the issue. Thankfully, Google is working on a fix.
Google expects “a system update to repair the issue and restore access to your media files without requiring a factory reset,” but did not say when the update would be available. do not have.
Unfortunately, Google also admits that there is no fix for people whose phones are “stuck in a ‘Pixel is booting’ boot loop.” However, the company is investigating ways to recover some data and will provide more information as it becomes available.
Rahman explained that this type of boot loop can occur if a user refuses to factory reset a device that keeps restarting.
Finally, Google says people with Pixel smartphones running Android 14 should avoid creating or logging in to secondary users on their devices until the company releases an update that fixes the issue. I warned you that. This warning includes both people who have not experienced this issue and those who have already addressed the issue with a factory reset.
