Are there any users of Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL phones? If your phone suddenly becomes bricked for no reason and does not respond, you are not the only one. According to a report by Ars Technica, on Google’s IssueTracker, support forums, and Reddit, more and more people reported that Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL suddenly entered a state called Emergency Download mode, and users cannot return to the original state. System, restore and reset also does not work.
We have inquired about the incident from Google and are waiting for a reply. Ars associates the incident with LG’s bootlooping problem in the past, when it was due to hardware defects that caused the phone to keep restarting and eventually even caused a class action lawsuit. It is still unknown whether the problem of Pixel 3, 3 XL lies in software or hardware, but it is certain that these phones have exceeded the official warranty period, so I believe that Google also needs special treatment, just like some Pixel 4 appeared earlier What to do in case of problems.
