Some owners of Pixel 6 series smartphones have begun to encounter a problem. It is reported that after resetting the device to factory settings, the devices become unusable. This applies to Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6A models.
Users complain that after attempting to reset the phone settings to factory defaults, the device no longer boots up, displaying an error message:
"Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to reset to factory settings and erase all user data stored on this device."
The smartphone offers the possibility to retry, which does not change anything, or try to reset the settings to factory defaults again. However, during the erasing process, a separate error occurs, indicating that the phone is missing a file called tune2fs, which refers to a Unix command line used to configure file system parameters.
Some users say that the problem appeared after updating their phones. However, it seems that the complaints are related to resetting to factory settings rather than to a specific software update. It is also reported that users cannot restore the phone using Google's official tools for this purpose.
Support forums for Pixel report that Google is aware of this issue and is conducting an investigation.
