Use GrapheneOS. It never has this bug to begin with, as the team found and fixed it while porting the OS to Android 14. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/111309676504712576
GrapheneOS also has many other significant privacy and security improvements compared to the stock OS, it's definitely worth checking out.
They said that, but I couldn't find the fix in their github repository. Does anyone know the commit that fixes this bug? It would help shed light on the technical details of the issue.
GrapheneOS is spread across many many repos. They are listed on the website: https://grapheneos.org/source#grapheneos. It's impossible to put an entire operating system stack into one single repository.
I used GitHub's search across the entire Graphene org, but couldn't find any references to the issue. Doesn't mean its not there, I just couldn't find it. If the technical details of the issue were public, it would help people know whether or not their data is recoverable if they are already stuck with a "pixel is starting..." phone that doesn't boot.
I think I know why they don't publish details about bugs. It might have something to do with this https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/111234090393336322
