Fix Pixel 4/XL Bootloop 100% Working...
In this guide, we have provided detailed instructions to fix a boot looped Pixel 4/XL that might have happened after installing a Magisk module. The process would be carried out without using the TWRP Recovery.
TWRP for Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL hasn’t been released yet and going by the official statement, it is definitely going to take some more time. Although you could still execute some of its functionalities via fastboot commands. But the main issue arises when your device, Pixel 4/XL in this case, goes into boot loop as a result of installing any of the Magisk modules. Generally, it’s easy to remove these modules via the TWRP Recovery.
However, without the recovery, you are only left with the option of a complete wipe of your data using the fastboot -w command. But this is not always the feasible way as more often than not, users don’t really create a backup just before flashing any modules. So in this guide, we will be providing step by step instructions to fix the boot looped Pixel 4/XL that has happened after installing any Magisk Modules. Moreover, we wouldn’t be taking the help of any unofficial/ported TWRP Recovery as well.
