If you have a major issue and you can’t get Pixel 5 to boot normally, you need to boot your phone into recovery mode.

This may sound familiar to people in the rooting community, but if you have never dealt with recovery mode before, you won’t be so familiar.

Nevertheless, this method is as safe as the “traditional” reset process and does not require all software confirmation.

STEPS:

Press and hold the Power + Volume Down for several seconds.
When the Fastboot Mode screen appears, let go.
Use the Volume buttons to cycle through the options.
When the screen shows Recovery Mode, press the Power button.
From the recovery screen, use the Volume keys to navigate and select Wipe data/factory reset.
Press the Power Button to confirm.
Select Factory data reset and confirm with the Power Button.
Select Reboot system now and confirm with the Power button.

After completing all the steps, your phone will restart. After that, you need to perform the setup process to start the device.
