stuck on GrapheneOS logo....

Hi everyone,

I’m using a Pixel 9 Pro XL with GrapheneOS.

Device is stuck on the animated GrapheneOS logo. It does not reboot or show any corruption message. No “data corrupt” screen. It just stays on the animated logo indefinitely.

What happened before this:
• I have around 20–30 user profiles.
• I created a new secondary user.
• Tried installing Sandboxed Google Play.
• Interrupted installation and ended session.
• Deleted the user.
• Recreated another user.
• Repeated this process a few times.
• After that I rebooted the device.
• Since then it hangs on the animated logo.

What I tried:
• Forced restart (Power + Volume Up)
• Boot to bootloader (slot B active)
• Recovery → Reboot system now
• Cold power off (10+ minutes) and reboot
• Tried booting into Safe Mode (holding Volume Down at Google logo)

All attempts result in the same behavior:
Google logo → GrapheneOS animated logo → stuck indefinitely.

No bootloop. No automatic entry into recovery. Device gets warm but not overheating.

Is there any way to recover without wiping /data?

Thank you.

radik Remove physical SIM(s) if there is any. Try repeating the restart a bunch of times more, look for any changes in behaviour.

Novalissoide Thanks. I don’t have any physical SIM inserted and eSIM is not active either.

I’ve already tried multiple full power-offs (10+ minutes), recovery reboot, and repeated restarts. Behaviour is always identical:

Google “G” → GrapheneOS animated logo → hangs indefinitely.

No “data corrupt” message. No automatic reboot. Device gets warm but not overheating.

Bootloader is locked, secure boot production, current slot B.

Before the issue started, I created and deleted secondary users while attempting to install Sandboxed Google Play, interrupting installation mid-process.
