This guide will demonstrate how to recover your soft-bricked Google Pixel smartphone using a factory image + fastboot on a Linux PC.

Install ADB and Fastboot (if not already installed)

Debian/Ubuntu

Code:

sudo apt update sudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools-common

Fedora/CentOS/AlmaLinux

Code:

sudo dnf install android-tools

Arch Linux/Manjaro/EndeavourOS

Code:

sudo pacman -S android-tools
Download and extract the factory image for your phone on your computer
Power off your phone and boot into the bootloader by pressing the power and vol down button for about 5 seconds.
Connect your phone to the PC using a USB Cable.
Open a terminal in the extracted folder.
Use the following commands to execute the installation script

Code:

fastboot devices ./flash-all.sh
Your phone will reboot into the bootloader a few times and then into fastbootD.
The phone will reboot to the startup menu once flashing is complete.

Important notice
This guide works for Pixel phones with unlockable bootloaders. If unlocking isn't possible, use the OTA Sideload method.
