According to reports on the Google support forums and Reddit, users with either a Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, or Pixel 6a are having problems after factory resetting their devices. After the reset, users see a new error message during the boot and can’t load Android. Other users are reporting “unable to enable ext4 verity” because of a missing “tune2fs” file.

Users still have problems even when using the Android Flash or Pixel Repair tools. However, according to reports, Google knows about the issue. Android Authority states that a comment from a Platinum Product Expert indicates that the team is investigating the issue. However, the company hasn’t made any official announcements.

So, if you’re a Pixel 6 user, I’d avoid factory resetting your handset. This isn’t for all users, but I still wouldn’t take the chance until Google pushes a proper fix.
