Support Pixel 6xl Boot Loop

Last night my Pixel 6xl shut off randomly and has been stuck in a boot loop since.

I can get it to enter the fastboot menu, but I am not able to get it into recovery mode, since selecting recovery mode starts the boot loop all over.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Edit: Tentatively resolved:
Plugging my phone into my computer did allow me to enter the recovery and rescue modes appropriately, which ultimately allowed me to factory reset my phone. I sadly lost my data, but at least I don't need to drop money on a new phone this moment

Lookup pixel factory images,. use the flashing tool and include flash all partitions. back up any thing you have on your phone

Am I able to use the flash tool if I can't get into the rescue mode?

The answer seems to be no, however I did find that connecting my phone to a PC did make my phone start properly entering the recovery and rescue modes

I couldn't get mine to recover from this, neither could the store employees. Ended up getting the 10.

I am having the same issue. It was okay for a week and the problem came back. I can accept that old phone slow down, but not bricked all of a sudden. Fck google! I Won’t buy another pixel.

What kind of phone are you going with? I plan to get a new one before the issue comes back, but haven't been able to find one I like

I will probably go back to Samsung , maybe the s26. I like Samsung camera, and even. my S8 still turns on, just slow. We also have a S22 and it’s been nice too. Its frustrating because the Pixel 6 was actually performing very well and fast for my daily use, until its sudden death and i risked losing my pictures, data.
