Pixel 6 bricking after factory reset

[faisalrb7]

I recently did a factory reset on my pixel 6 and it got stuck in a boot loop. Its is OEM locked so can't flash it. Evidently the issue affects pixel 6 model and Google has not been of help. They have acknowledged the issue but are yet to provide any solutions. Its affecting thousands. Reddit Megathread

Does factory data reset not work either?

This is the proper reflash tool, will work on a bootloader-locked device.

No it fails with this error

Yeah you're screwed at this point because your phone storage is corrupt, maybe try later with that maybe they updated later again. 

 

But seeing tool failing too its likely that your storage is entirely corrupt and needed manually clean up.

There is a lot of people facing this issue, Google says it has identified the issue but hasn't given a solution yet
