Pixel 6 bricking on factory reset, Google preparing fix

Google Pixel 6 is bricking on factory reset after a recent software update. The company managed to find the root cause of the problem and worked to prepare a fix for the affected handsets.

Several users reported that the Pixel 6 smartphone bricked on factory reset. It all happened after the recently released firmware update. However, affected users can expect a patch to be released soon.

There are some reports on the Google support website regarding the Pixel 6 bricking problem. The best part is that Google is aware of the problem and is looking into it, as per a comment on the forums.

Some Pixel users usually perform a factory reset on their device after each new firmware update. It maintains seamless performance on the device alongside clearing occupied memory to benefit users.

As data is precious, we recommend Pixel users prevent factory reset on their devices. The phone maker is already working on a fix, which should be included in the next incremental Pixel firmware.

AndroidCentral reports that it isn’t a very new problem on Pixel devices. Similar complaints were made in the past, which were addressed later. However, affected users may have lost access to their data in case of no backup created.
