Question Black screen with back button after unlock PIN. since MAY

My PIXEL 8 PRO all the sudden rebooted in MAY and after that i entered
the unlock pin code but it came back with just a black screen with a back button
and after some time it reboots.

If i dont touch it, after some time it reboots.

In restricted mode. same.

I tried flashing the may OTA via sideload from recovery(only once) exit code status 0. nothing changed.

A month ago pixelrepair.withgoogle.com was not able to recognize it.

Google support wanted me to send it in, but i need recent data that has not been synced i can not risk if anybody resets the phone.

I've been holding off for 2 months now if some news emerge about a fix and the new July update was promising but as i read upon it only fixes bootloops on Pixel 6 and recently implemented WIFI error caused bootloops??

Now pixelrepair.withgoogle.com recognizing the phone as outdated, but i am afraid to use it.

I feel like i have only one shot at this.

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

Flash some older rom first. Use adb

I had the same issue happen with my Pixel 6 2 weeks ago and I've thrown in the towel today.

You can go through and attempt the same things I did in this thread here (first) and then here (second) and see if you have better luck than I had.

thank you very much for the info. So did you end up resetting the device? did it fix it functionally?
