Pixel Phones on Android 17 Beta 4.1 Hit Bootloops After Google Play Update

Summary
Pixel phones running Android 17 beta 4.1 are entering bootloops after users install the latest Google Play System update, with multiple reports surfacing from Reddit.
The issue appears tied specifically to that Play System update, prompting warnings for beta 4.1 users to avoid installing it and to wait for Google’s stable Android 17 OTA instead.
Factory reset is the most common workaround so far, though one affected user said sideloading the latest Android 17 QPR1 beta via ADB restored the phone without wiping data.
Google released stable Android 17 recently and pushed QPR1 beta 5 days ago, leaving some beta 4.1 users caught between a pending stable OTA and a newer preview track.
