    Thanks a lot for this man. Spamming the power button did it for me. Definitely feels like some dust got where it shouldn't and made it reboot constantly.

      All i would add for myself - Took me 2 x to figure out: make sure you are doing it AGGRESSIVELY! I am a big guy and it only worked when I was pressing the POWER button as fast and as hard as I could. Good luck!

    Like others here, this video saved my Pixel 3. It just started the reboot loop out of nowhere. I came across this video, saw the parts about tapping on the screen, massaging the phone, and spamming the power button. I thought it sounded wacky but what did I have to lose. And damned if it didn't work. Thank you so much!!!!

    You just saved my phone, the laying the phone on its side and tapping the power button is what did it for me. I was stuck in a reboot loop for almost 2 hours prior to this

    Spamming the power button while charging did it for me! It broke the boot loop and the phone started up.
    I had tried pressing the power button and volume down button simultaneously but that didn't work. Same with the power button and volume up button. No combination of pressing and holding worked.
    Thanks a lot!

    Very helpful video. Just thought I would share that while repeatedly pressing the power button my phone started sounding an alarm and called 911. Was not expecting that. During this exercise the SD card was removed. I am still working to resolve my black screen, only on round 2/7. Thanks

    Thank you for this video. My Pixel 5 cut off and wouldn't cut back on, I thought it was a battery issue and even filed a claim through AT&T. I was dreading it because Asurion is a terrible service (much like everything else AT&T) and this video saved me a lot of headache.

    verizon in nebraska had no recommendations, the data recover store they recommended wanted me to ship the phone to California and quoted me $900 - $3900 for data recovery. Smashed the power button 150 times and then chugged a beer while turning it on- ill give you credit on this one but we cannot discount the power of prayer and cold beer.

    It works! Especially the tapping and massaging method. I have to do this about every 4 months. Be careful with the spamming button method, your phone is default to call 911 when you press the button 5 times in a row. It happened to me. You can turn off that function in settings

    I was really hyped about spamming power button after reading the comments, unfortunately that did not do the trick for me, even after exhausting most of tips on-line. I found a single forum post advising to lightly hit the power button against something solid, like a table edge, and it actually worked! I'm not sure I would try that if I did not hear about spamming from your video, so points to you. (Just remember to add some padding inbetween if your table is made of softer wood - learnt that the hard way, lmao)
