Hard bricked while surfing on Chrome?

Hey guys,
I would like to ask if anyone was in similar situation. I'm running the newest Pure Nexus rom. Everything was perfect till today. I was surfing on Chrome when phone restarted suddenly. And since that time it's in a bootloop. I tried to flash factory 6.0.1, 7.0, twrp and yet... nothing. Keeps bootlooping. Does it mean it's a hard brick? It's still under warranty though. I bought it from Best Buy on February, 2016. Man! I'm glad I haven't sold my Nexus 5. It's just so small.
Any ideas? Is it over?

@jamescable TRUTH!! With that being Said I would go back to full stock. I'm not sure of your method but I would use Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.9 with a full wipe. The App will do it all for you. If that doesn't work then it's hardware related but at least it's back stock!

I can access fastboot and flash the newest factory image from Google. But can't get into recovery after flashing twrp nor do a full wipe. It keeps switching between unlocked bootloader warning and Google logo. No matter what I do. I'll try toolkit as you suggested after returning from work.

Ignore the warning, it scary but it's just warning you because the bootloader is unlocked even when flashing stock.

Yeah, I know. I mentioned it for reference. I'm getting stuck at Google logo no matter what I do. When I chose factory reset or recovery it gets stuck there. That happened yesterday while I was on chrome. Phone restarted without a reason and then it started.
I was on the newest PN. Then I flashed stock 7.0 and it's the same. I tried twrp and can't get into it as well.

Had you flashed the 7.1 dev preview by chance?
edit: Or Magisk? I'm aware of a few cases like this, but haven't been able to pin down any common factors yet...

Did you make any build prop edits?

Google Assistant for Stock Marshmallow is here!

Assistant is rolling out to quarks now. This post is obsolete.

works with moto voice?

Will this work on CF's new Rom?
Edit tried and it didn't work, rebooted cleared Google app cashe and data.

Lame. I don't know what changes he makes, so I can't speculate as to why.

Out of curiosity, does your phone pass safetynet?

Not sure Sir, after it didn't work I went back to my backed up CF Rom.

It's enabled on the server side.

So has anyone else got it to work?

Has everyone set up google assistant voice recognition?
Open up the google app and say "OK GOOGLE"
It should open up setup for google assistant voice recognition.
I use apex launcher and holding home opens apex settings for me.
However saying OK google on any screen now opens google assistant for me.
I'm Running AOKP with the newest version of the google app and google play services

Some more info about my phone, if it helps anyone:
Before I installed the packages, I had just about everything enabled that could be enabled for Google Now. On tap: on, feed: on, OK Google everywhere: on. The first time I started it was by holding down the home button, not by saying OK Google (but that works too).

Well after flashing stock Rom yesterday and installing both apk's to no avail.
Switched back to CF's 1.7 mm Rom got off play services beta and Google's beta then called it a night.
Woke up this morning and had gotten the official update while I was asleep ?.

Got it working on my stock turbo. Although I didn't download anything. Just woke up this morning and it was on my phone.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ah okay. So looks like it's a moot point now.

I got it working by uninstalling updates to Google app and Google play services, and updating the Google app through the play store.
The next time i held the home button i got the assistant

Yes I do. Everything seems to have rolled over fine. Update screen was not the bouncing thingies but simply the G logo. Haven't rebooted to see.. oh just a little of the dots, then a quick G and then it was up. Like maybe 10 seconds for a reboot. Wow.

Always On Ambient Display
Either, this didn't make it through in my update somehow or I'm overlooking the setting.
Can anyone offer any help on enabling this feature?
Thanks!

Man, that's annoying, I still haven't gotten it on my Project Fi pixel. I left vzw because I never got updates!

I've asked around and consensus seems to be that it was NOT included in this update after all. Looks like they're saving it for the Pixel 2.

Im on fi I just downloaded the ota and then sideloaded it.

Go to settings - display - advanced and it will be towards the bottom.
Nevermind, misread. It is only for notifications. You can make it turn on when you pick it up though. By turning on "lift to check phone"

I use the modded one for O here. You need to fastboot and load TWRP every time you use it because it is not flashable yet.

There are also 8.0.0 factory images as well (along with the usual older factory images) - they are all here: http://www.infinitiofsuitland.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new
To play it safe, I grabbed one 7.1.2 and one 8.0.0 factory image for the Pixel to put through the wringer (since this would be the first Pixel I've ever put through the paces).

DP4 is out!

https://developer.android.com/preview/download
Just installed. July security update. They changed the silent mode status bar icon. Still looking for other changes.
-edit- Dark theme is an option under display settings, advanced!
It seems to have some horrible contact bar in the app drawer when you pull it up now that shows 2 frequent contacts? Found out you can disable this under home screen settings.
-edit 2- root still works with magisk. Still P under build with same easter egg as before.

What's the status on root

Is anyone able to tell me if Actions Services app is included in DP4 for the Pixel XL?
I originally grabbed the apk from a Pixel 2, but i suspect that it's now included in DP4.

Anyone tried the ElementalX build for DP3 on this yet? ctsProfile seems to fail SafetyNet on Magisk 16.4, other than that haven't noticed any problems.

Sorry, when you say root still works with magisk... do you have to unroot before updating, then reflash magisk? Or can you update right over the previous update if you're already rooted??

Hopefully Google fix up the device certification for DP4 - Google Pay won't work currently, but did on DP3. I think G need to add it server-side.
edit: Google fixed the device certification. Google Pay now works again.

Flash kernel failed cts. Might be something new detecting magisk

Keep losing root, anyone else? A reboot will fix it, but it goes away eventually for me. Also magisk data partition isn't set up correctly (can't install modules).

Anyone having issues getting the light and dark themes to work?

Same for me. I install and check out everything... Everything is going great. Then randomly an app I use will say no root detected.. And I'll go to magisk and it says to install 16.4...

June security update is out for Pixel 3a

Installing the update right now. It'll be the first security update for Pixel 3a.
Here's a link with more details and download links, no 3a specific fixes in the June patch.
https://9to5google.com/2019/06/03/pixel-june-19-security-patch/

Thanks. I checked around 9 EDT but nothing new. Still locked so sideloaded.

I have a T-Mobile 3a (locked bootloader). I sideloaded the beta q but want to go back to pie. Can I sideload the ota to go back to pie?

I don't believe so but... Try and let us know how it turns out. I think the bootloader and stuff is different so I think you need factory image

It does not work. It was running for a bit then an error message"missing config CONFIG NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QTAGUID". Oh well I tried. I guess I will have to wait until Google officially includes 3a in it beta program.

Nah. Check his first post. He's updated to the June modded boot.img. Save yourself since time and data because the OTA does not include the boot img that I could find. I downloaded the factory image to get it. Then I downloaded the OTA. Ugh. Almost 3gb if data by the time I was finished.

No. Cannot go back to pie. I had a discussion with Google rep today. She said soon as the Q beta for this month comes out, we will be able to go back to Android Pie as normal. There is an issue on their side. Here's what my error was when trying to sideload back to Pie on my VZW Pixel 3a

He has a VZW Pixel 3a. You can't fastboot a factory image with a locked bootloader. You can only sideload an OTA so he will need to wait in order to unenroll from the beta. Couple more days I think at the most.

Anyone else feel like the Multi tasking UI on the 3a has become faster after the update? Feels snappier to me

I think so. I have noticed you can swipe up from a bigger portion of the screen to show the appdrawer too. Now I can swipe up from the lower row of icons, and I think that before the update I had to swipe from the icon menu.

How do you even sideload the OTA ? When I do adb reboot recovery I just get a no command screen :/
EDIT: NVM Figured that out. When I sideload the OTA, I just get a signature verification failed error. I have a Tmobile 3a
Edit 2: I am dumb. I had the full image instead of OTA. Getting the OTA worked.

So i download the latest modded version on from pnabj "PQ3B.190605.006" then install it using this method "fastboot flash boot "whatever the boot.img is named" from the root guide and thats it?

If you have updated to the June security version and want to obtain root, then yes, flash the specific modified boot image. Then open the Magisk app and patch your boot image to complete the process.
