Apart from that, the sixth iteration has continued the legacy of earlier Pixel devices of being an active player in custom development. Be it for flashing custom ROMs or installing a custom recovery like TWRP, there’s a lot to try out. Along the same lines, you could also gain administrative privileges by rooting the device via Magisk [by flashing patched boot.img or flash Magisk ZIP via TWRP]. This in turn will allow you to get your hands on a plethora of tweaks such as Magisk Modules, custom kernels, Substratum Themes, etc. However, all this is just half the story. Carrying out such modifications does bring in a few uninvited risks as well. If you don’t flash the files correctly or flash it to an incorrect partition, then trouble is on the cards. This will result in the device going into a soft brick or a boot-looped state. Fortunately, there’s an easy way out. You could unbrick your Google Pixel 6/ 6 Pro device via Fastboot Commands and bring it back to life. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
How to Unbrick Google Pixel 6/Pro via Fastboot Commands
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow in the exact same sequence as mentioned. 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.
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 6/Pro Stock Firmware
STEP 3: Boot Pixel 6/6Pro 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.
