That’s not good for Pixel owners who have recently updated to March 2026 OTA update (Android 16 QPR3 / CP1A.260305.018)

Seems symptoms include:

• Bootloop at Google logo
• Black screen after unlock
• “Cannot load Android system” errors
• Some devices stuck between lock screen / recovery
• Black screen after entering PIN… reboots every few seconds

and no fix thus far

In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
