Pixel 6 Pro bricked after using Android 13 beta and going back to android 12

My Pixel 6 Pro bricked after using Android 13 beta and going back to android 12, Having looked at a number of forums this seems to be happening to a few people out there. I was on the Android 13 beta program with google and decided to end the beta program and go back to Android 12 , a simple process with an update sent and then roll back to 12 . The roll back bricked my pixel and i can now not boot it up , it will only boot into fastboot mode and will not do anything else. Anyone else on here had the same problem ? And will the phone be covered under warranty ? it is less than a year old . Many thanks for any replies .

@cheesywizard70 You’ll have to ask Google about the warranty on the device after installing a beta OS.

This is all at your own risk, and I take no responsibility for this, but you can try and manually install the firmware via ADB. There's various guides on the internet if you google it.

Tried all I could on my own and no go. Opened a repair ticket with google , packaging to return phone was sent next day . Posted with prepaid label to service center in Poland , it arrived within in 2 days . Phone has now been repaired and is on way back to me now . Great service from google and no problems at all.
