TL;DR<\/p>\n
Google recently released stable Android 17<\/a>, bringing a number of nifty features to Pixel phones<\/a>. Unfortunately, some beta testers are running into a major bootloop issue.<\/p>\n Redditor MuAlH<\/a> reports that their Pixel phone running Android 17 beta 4.1 went into a boot loop after installing the latest Google Play System update. It sounds like they\u2019re not alone, as a few other users<\/a> reported the same issue.<\/p>\n The most common workaround seems to be a factory reset, but the original poster also mentioned sideloading the latest Android 17 QPR1 beta via ADB to preserve their user data.<\/p>\n Needless to say, you should avoid installing the latest Google Play System update if you\u2019re running Android 17 beta 4.1. Google is offering a stable Android 17 OTA update to people running this or the preceding beta 4 software. Some beta 4.1 users are still waiting for this stable OTA release, but you should just sit tight for now if you\u2019re one of them.<\/p>\n This issue also comes a couple of days after Google released Android 17 QPR1 beta 5<\/a>, which previews the next major release after Android 17. Android 17 QPR1 is expected to offer theme support for the Linux Terminal<\/a>, a smarter media switcher, and more background blur.<\/p>\n
