Rooted/unlocked Pixel 6
So I was trying to install the monthly OTA following this guide using the "Update and Root Automatic OTA" method. And the OTA failed to install, so I went to the next method to try and sideload it. Well I didn't get too far because when I did the adb reboot sideload command, my pixel got stuck in a bootloop.

I can get it to boot into fastboot mode, but I can't access recovery mode (or rescue mode). It just gets to the Google logo and then turns off and the cycle repeats.
Any ideas on recovery?
Thanks!
I never succeed doing OTA on my rooted P6... Always ended like you but in my case phone always boot from other slot (without root) and I was forced to root it again by patching / flashing a boot.img. I see that old way (flash a factory image) is more reliable, at least for me.
Ok, I spoke too soon. I was searching for the correct terms to get it recovered
Followed this guide and it worked (once I updated my platform-tools):
How to Unbrick Google Pixel 6/Pro via Fastboot Commands
In this tutorial, we will show you detailed steps to unbrick the Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro via Fastboot Commands.

Sounds like I won't be trying that OTA method again. I'll probably do what gazdajezda mentioned too, flash the factory image
Great that you saved situation Hour ago I updated Magisk & flashed May update old way (all good).

Cutting to the chase, I downloaded the latest Pixel 3 factory image from: https://developers.google.com/android/images
Using https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/make-ota-updates-easy-by-rooting-your-pixel-3-with-magisks-boot-image-patch-0189139/, I followed the steps for Magisk to patch the boot.img
I then copied over the Magisk to my desktop and used ADB to flash the image.
My Pixel turns on but the touchscreen does not work. What can I do to fix this?
Well, I managed to fix it by sideloading an OTA through recovery mode.
Planning to Root Oneplus 9R using this method:
Root OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, 9R Android 12 ColorOS 12 via Magisk
Thi guide will show you how to root the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9R running ColorOS 12 Android 12 via Magisk Patched Boot.img

Question is:
(a) fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
or
(b)
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
Any help appreciated, thank you
Found a better method from here:
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...in-eu-us-kb2000-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/)
(1) Temporarily boot into a rooted system with:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
(2) Once phone was booted up, open magisk manager and perform a "Direct Install".
This will install magisk on the active boot slot and the next reboot will give you root.
(Side note:
Upgraded 2y old OP7 to OP9R and very pleased with this choice, feels like "Never Settle: Flagship Killer" spirit truly lives on with the OP9R price/performance ratio, at a time where the Company is focusing more and more on making "Flagship-Flagship" with ever increasing prices...)
I have an ongoing issue with this phone, I want to install TWRP and eventually a custom ROM on my Canadian LG G7 ThinQ LM-G710AWM.
I have been able to root by patching boot_a and boot_b with majisk and using QFIL to modify/write to the partitions.
I was also able to unlock the bootloader by following this post:

After deleting both the lafs in QFIL to get fastboot back, I tried flashing several TWRP images which are recommended for my model, and i get an error [fastboot:error "cannot get boot partition size"]
I've tried flashing it to boot_a,
I've tried flashing it to boot_b,
I've tried fastboot boot "TWRP IMAGE" to boot into TWRP temporarily but it shows 'download mode' for about 10 seconds and then reboots normally
I initially crossflashed then refurbished from Android 9 Pie to Android 8 Oreo, using LM-G710AWM, basically a downgrade, for reasons, and still Ive hit a solid wall with this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, there seems to be no way to get into TWRP.
Still with that problem?
I was trying to do the OTA update by restoring image in Magisk. The OTA still failed. I still went ahead and selected Install to inactive slot in Magisk. Now the phone can't boot up again. It's stuck on the screen

The command 'fastboot devices' works.

Are you able to get to the bootloader? If so, flash a factory image to both slots.
./fastboot flash --set-active=(a or b) then reboot the bootloader. Flash the image. Then do the same command for the other slot and flash the image again. Seems to work for me when I can't boot.

Hi there,
I ****ed up and I'm now stuck in bootloop with no access to a computer and was wondering if I could do anything to solve my issue.
I've been testing blu spark kernel for months and wanted to go back to stock kernel.
I flashed my backup from FKM (made it with FKM too) and now I'm in bootloop.
My backup was from january build and my phone has been updated to february build since. Is it the reason of the bootloop ?
Anyway, I'm in a bootloop now and I only have an other rooted Pixel 6.
Can I do anything with it ?
I tried Android Flash Tool from Google within Chrome but the download of the rom is always stucked at some point.
I tried magisk adb module but I'm afraid it's not up to date as I'm still in fastboot after I flashed the bootloader and update the image.
Any ideas ?
First try to turn off your phone and then reboot to bootloader. Download factory image and launch flash-all.bat.
Sorry for your datas.
I haven't been able to launch flash-all.sh with termux with the second Pixel 6 I have as the fastboot version from the magisk module is too old.
I don't have a computer to do it.

Get a computer, or at least borrow one so you can restore your device using Google's flash tool. You're not fixing your bootloop without one.
