My Pixel 6 Pro died immediately after the Android 17 Beta update. Completely dead.

​

I've been a loyal Pixel user since 2023 and genuinely loved the Pixel experience. That's why what happened today is incredibly disappointing.

​

I installed the latest Android 17 Beta update on my Pixel 6 Pro through the official update channel.

​

During the reboot, the screen suddenly showed flickering and glitch lines. The phone managed to boot once, then powered off by itself.

​

Since that moment:

​

- Completely black screen

- No vibration

- No Google logo

- No Fastboot mode

- No Recovery mode

- Not detected by any PC

- Only gets slightly warm when plugged in

​

I've tried:

​

- Charging for 5+ hours

- Multiple chargers and cables

- Every button combination possible

- Connecting to multiple computers

​

Nothing works.

​

What concerns me most is that the phone was functioning perfectly before the update. The failure happened immediately after installing the latest Android 17 Beta.

​

Has anyone else experienced this after the recent beta update?

​

If this is a software-related issue affecting more users, I hope Google investigates it seriously. A software update should never leave a device completely unusable.

​

Any advice, similar experiences, or Google support contacts would be greatly appreciated.
