If you're a Pixel phone owner and running into boot problems following Google's recent March update, you aren't alone.

Several reports across various Reddit posts mention experiencing Pixel bootloop issues after downloading the latest March security update (Android 16 QPR3). The problems seem to span several Pixel generations, from the Pixel 6 up to the Pixel 10 (via Android Authority).

In some cases, users' phones don't turn on at all, while in others, the Pixel boots into recovery mode and gets stuck on the Google logo. Additionally, some users are encountering a warning message that says "Android system" or data "may be corrupt." Right now, the only solution is a factory reset, which results in the loss of all data on your phone.

Google is aware of the problem and is likely working on a fix

There isn't a solution yet

Factory resetting might be a viable option if you've recently backed up your Pixel, but if you haven't, it's not exactly a route you'll want to take. Some users have even attempted to boot into fastboot mode to try to sideload recent Pixel firmware, but that hasn't worked either.

Google seems to be aware of the problem, given there's an active Issue Tracker thread where dozens of people are reporting it. It's unclear what's causing the bootloop problem or why only some Pixel devices seem to be affected. Given that Google is aware of the bootloop issue, a solution will likely arrive in the near future. XDA has reached out to Google for a potential timeline regarding a fix, and will update this story as more information becomes available.

For what it's worth, I installed the March update on my Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10a recently and didn't encounter any issues. If you've run into this problem, let us know in the comments below.
