You are a savior, I was expecting a very important call and my pixel got stuck in a look, your method resolved the issue and my phone is now online 2 minutes prior to my phone appointment. Thank you so much.

[@euph31]

Holy shit. I tried everything under the god damn sun and furiously mashing the power button is what worked. Thank you so much!

[@HatakeMelo]

I came here to say this. I was about ready to give up my phone.

[@Jack.90]

Same same same same SAME - the man is a genius.

[@trigger_happyrl2875]

just tried the power button mashing and dam that worked

[@icepick0053]

Wow!!! I was ready to give up on my phone and get a tiny pixel 5. Button smashing FTW! Who would have guessed?

[@gjp1506]

Likewise - gobsmacked that fiercely hitting the power button got it out of a doomloop!

[@Dee-wf7mg]

can't believe that after having tried all sorts of software fixes and stuff, that massaging and button mashing is what fixed it. Honestly a lifesaver

[@jmlc777]

[@keikaku9298]

It was the smashing power button for me. I kept at it for like 2mins and it worked.

[@JohnPaulLafata]

This definitely saved me about $700 and a ton of frustration. I took my Pixel 3 out of my pocket only to find it stuck in a bootloop. I talked with Google support and even tried connecting to it via ADB. I was ready to start shopping for a new phone. The smashing the power button trick is what finally got my phone to boot. Thank you!

[@mahasish]

Same here. I almost decided to get a new phone as my Pixel 3 stuck in an infinite boot loop. Thanks to the creator of this video.

[@dmarkford]

Me too. I didn't notice anything funny with the power button (sticking, etc.) But smashing the power button on the 3a XL worked like a charm!! I was wondering because I could not change the options in the Fast Boot mode, as soon as I touched the volume up/down the phone just began rebooting. I had already moved on to the Pixel 5, but I kept the 3a XL as a back up and was using it to check out the Android Betas (12L.)

[@Graybush18]

Same thing. Stuck in a boot loop from google logo to andoid G logo and could not get it to stop. Smashing the power button a few times into the palm of my hand worked perfectly.

[@marschlionoalexander8498]

I just had the same experience, and it worked. I was already looking to buy another phone.

[@velcowse9831]

Same here, Thanks a lot !!!!!

[@segaki]

Holy moly! I thought I was screwed. Mashing the power button actually worked. Never would have thought to do that nor have I ever seen such advice in other troubleshooting guides. You saved me! Thank you very much!

[@lorenhalla4579]

This rapid reboot has been happening at an increasing rate to my pixel 3 for the past 6 months. These methods worked perfectly! It was the combo taping on the screen and the massage that did it. Thank you so much!!

[@abdulshakeel3536]

Did this actually work?

[@theLoneCodesman]

@@abdulshakeel3536 yup it got my pixel out of the restart loop!

[@victormiller1692]

Awesome! You are a genius. My phone was 100% stuck in a boot loop and super hot. I put it in a container, in the freezer for 5 mins to cool it down. Then I followed your instructions. Dude, you have rescued my phone. Google support were useless. They said it is hardware and nothing more can be done. We you proved them wrong. I followed your steps, and it stopped the reboot loop. My phone is up and running perfectly now. You are a life saver! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@Entheos369]

google is such a shit company, I'll never buy anything from them again

[@blakechamberlain2859]

rapid tapping the power button worked. TYSM God bless you

[@breewoodward3651]

I totally thought that would be a bad thing to do so I didn't do it before I saw this video, worked almost right away after!

[@sokarcreative]

same for me it works doing that

[@DweezlePeePants]

Power button was the culprit for me. I knew it because when I went to do a factory reset, it just auto clicked the first screen. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@redfusiond]

Rapidly clicking on the power button on my aging pixel 3 XL solved this problem instantly for me. Fantastic troubleshooting advice, so many other videos would have likely ignored this super simple, yet effective tip.

[@gluetasteswell]

Same here. I was clicking that power button thinking it wouldn't work and I'm just waiting for the next tip. Then it finished booting. Great Success 👍🏼!

[@mahasish]

Same here, the first trick solved the issue.

[@Eli-tq2uu]

All it did was called the cops.

[@Stryka191]

@@Eli-tq2uu mine does that when turned on and functioning, but not while being in the boot loop

[@mspear01]

Great insight and solutions! Thank you !! The rapid power button worked, eventually triggering an emergency call (guess the phone exited the loop before I realized.) The boot loop started 1 day--literally 1 day--after the 1-year warranty expired. Uncanny timing.

[@lisamiller7542]

Wow. Husband is still rocking a 3xl and it was looping like mad. I showed him this video and on cycle #2 (back to rapid pressing of power ✅) it worked! Watching both of you tap,.massage, and smack had me in giggles, but the look on his face when it worked brought me to tears of laughter. Amazing.

[@rachelw2964]

You're a lifesaver! Pushing the power button in a wild manner was the solution that saved me. Who knew the problem and solution might both be something so simple. I am glad I did not need to go all the way to the phone mechanic this time.

[@jakeabbey1402]

absolute legend! worked a treat - tapping all over the back and front of the phone. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@austinkramer3264]

Effing amazing. I was so ready to try a sledgehammer and this fixed my phone. You're a genius and thank you so much!!!

[@chunkfoster5147]

This video saved me. I'm in Mexico right now and my Pixel 4a would constantly shut down. Then it started boot looping. I tried all of the fixes about 10 times. I was desperate for my phone to work as I had free data on the phone. I kept following the advice as I had nothing better to do. I did all five steps. Well finally tonight, my phone finally started working again. So happy about this. The advice to keep repeating the steps is great. Thank you!

[@lynnide4208]

I was ready to buy a new phone, you just saved me a whole bunch of money! If I ever meet you, I'm buying you a drink

[@nvuppala]

Gently pressing around the screen worked for me. I was trying to get the phone into recovery mode, but couldn't due to constant reboot loop. Thank you so much for this video.

[@emi085]

Amazing! I was skeptical about that tapping method, but glad I followed through because that's what worked!!!

[@rubayayala]

Oh my gosh thank you!!! The taping got my phone to turn on! I"ve been trying for several hours. THANK YOU!!

[@rebecasuarez5969]

My phone has been booting for hours, it started to overheat and i was sure it was a goner. I did a combo of smashing the power and tapping the screen and it worked within a minute. LIFE SAVER!! Thank you so much.

[@Msclassicreader]

Phone saver! I thought I would have to buy a new phone today, until I saw this video. The power button mashing trick took a few tries to stick, but now my phone works fine again. Thanks so much!

[@eddiett9253]

Thank you! Repetitive pressing the power button worked, took a while but eventually started working fine after a few loops!

[@Zman-fh2xd]

I never make comments on videos. This will be my first. I want to take the time to thank you for actually giving a solution to a problem instead of just telling people to upgrade. I went to the phone shop to get a solution or a repair and instead they told me to upgrade instantly without even trying to fix it. I owned this phone for over two years and had no problems. I had the reboot loop. I didn't know what to do so I turned to your video for one last attempt before I bite the bullet and buy a new phone and it worked! Thank you for making this video. You saved me a whole lotta time and money. :)

[@briantucker7770]

The rapid tapping worked for me too! The button must be a weak point in the model. Thank you so much :)

[@Congiary]

I take such good care of my phone, when I took my four-year-old Pixel 3 in for cleaning, the woman at the desk called it "museum quality". I got the boot loop for the first time today, I thought I was toast. Thank you for this video of unorthodox yet effective ways to combat this!

[@brandixlynn]

You’re doing the work of the gods. Thank you so much!

[@billkeefrider885]

Impressive! My wife's Pixel 3a started a non-stop reboot loop yesterday. Can't believe your method worked but it did - thank you! I already ordered a Pixel 6 (it's time), but it's on backorder for over a week so now at least my wife has her phone for the week until then. I did the tap/smack/massage method and ultimately it was putting the power button on the edge of a table and going crazy on it for a couple minutes that did it. Thanks!

[@kyr9780]

Holy mother of cow, man! First I thought you were joking, and this is kind of a trolling video, but then the taping method worked on my Pixel 3XL. Can't even tell you how grateful I am! Thank you so much!

[@vinitsehgal7909]

Thank you so much for sharing the tip. I was stuck in the reboot loop for a long time and was afraid I will have to buy a new phone. But pressing the power button several consecutive times (just like you suggested) worked! Many thanks!!

[@vanrum2341]

So the boot issue is caused by the power button getting something in it?

[@nocohesivevidslol2815]

Thank you so much, I have a refurbished Google Pixel and the tapping on the power button tip was so important! I just had to keep at it, and your tip ended up working :))

[@DarkstreamLIVES]

This has happened twice, it kept restarting so rapidly I couldn't even get it into safe mode. I don't know what I did the first time, but this time button mashing the power button worked!

On a Pixel 3 and been having bootloop issues on and off over the last year - the button mashing step worked for me today! Never tried it before but I'm pretty sure I heard something move behind the power button. So hopefully no more bootloop issues for me again.

[@Arganoid]

This happened again on my Pixel 3A, about 3 or 4 months since the last time. This time, it kept reoccurring for a while even after I managed to get the phone to start. Also the phone called the emergency number by itself, as it turns out there's a shortcut to call the emergency services by pressing the power button 5 times ('Emergency SOS'). I wonder if there will come a point where this problem just keeps coming back? Does anyone know the underlying cause, and whether it can be repaired?

[@seamusmeagher9328]

Ty papa first step was all I needed

[@Oreo346.]

Yippie! After a 3 hour endless cycle and me fiddling with the power button off and on, letting it rest, powering it, repeat, this video did the trick! My phone was successfully up and running at the 2 minute mark in the video after going through the first steps. I didn't have to do the tap method. Thank you for posting this video!

Thank you for this video. I tried all the things, and nothing seemed to work until the battery died. Once it did, I plugged it in and now it seems back to normal. Just wanted to add that for anyone else experiencing the massive frustration I just did. Thanks again for helping out the internet community,.

I finally got home after a long day, and I was looking up different resources to try and fix my phone and came across this video and I did everything you said still couldn't get my phone on. So I washed it again and here I went crazy on the power button and after about 2 or 3 minutes or just constantly hitting that power button it finally is working!
