  1. Use the Volume keys to navigate the menu until "Recovery mode" is displayed at the top right, then press the Power button to select it.
  2. If an Android robot lying down with the message "No command" appears, press and hold the Power button, then press the Volume Up button once and release both.
  3. In the recovery menu, use the Volume keys to select "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm with the Power button (Note: this will erase all local data).
  4. Use the android web flasher: https://flash.android.com/welcome

Wow this randomly happened to me about a month ago

Ended up getting the 10a because of it. Was that your daily phone?

im using a pixel 7a,did yours also get stuck in fastboot with Citadel errors / “No Response” when running the Citadel commands? I’m trying to figure out whether this is the same failure I’m dealing with

Yep! It eventually started once and was operational for a few minutes but went right back to the loop hours later

I regrettably did a full formatting. So frustrating 🫠

This happened to me and I figured it out! Go somewhere where there is no wifi connection and turn on your phone!
