A bootloop on the Google Pixel 2 occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android. This is commonly caused by a failed software update, corrupted system files, or an incompatible app. Most bootloops can be resolved without losing data by clearing the cache partition first before attempting a factory reset.

Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.

1

On your Google Pixel 2: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds

2

If still looping: enter Recovery Mode

3

Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot

4

If still looping: return to Recovery

5

Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)

6

Last resort: use your manufacturer's PC tool to reinstall firmware
