[Q] Android is Starting Loop please help

MY STORY****
OK so i was running euphoria encrypted just fine... decided to flash stock 5.1 via wugfreash with insecure boot image for no forced encryption. ok flashed all is well decidced to reboot phone went into a boot loop with the title above so i went back into wugfresh and booted with ensecure boot image booted just fine, lasted the day at work got home and decicedd to try and fix the issue, now i am getting remote failure when i tell wugfresh to force install the factory image decided to hit the lock device just for kicks but seems to have been a bad idea. now i keep in the android device is upgrading .
at this point i dont even care for root just want my phone to boot.
MY ISSUE*****
i am able to get into fast boot mode but when ever i try to flash anything via wugfresh AND skipsoft i get remote failure.... i am now locked and in boot loop.

You're pretty screwed unless you can figure out how to get RSD to flash for you. Read the last few pages in this thread

Yes the "lock just for kicks" was a bad idea. You'll be kicking yourself later. Sorry brother

I had this with Wug as it seemed to USD the 5.0.1 boot image and not 5.1.
Just simply reflashing in Wug's toolkit forced use of the 5.1 image and it worked fine from there. Unfortunately locking the device has made it very difficult to fix.

I was in a similar situation as you OP ... I had to concede to defeat and have T-Mobile send me a replacement.
If you're locked, can't boot into Android to check the "Allow oem unlock" box you're essentially screwed!

Actually, I just thought of something ... Try adb sideloading the OTA .zip
This didn't work for me (ota flashed successfully, but I sadly still couldn't boot into Android) but hopefully you'll have better luck!

"Device Is Corrupted" System Files Wiped

Another "device is corrupted" message - Syatem files wiped
I have a real problem on my hands. Just got a new Nexus 6 and used the Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock and root and add TWRP. The process went smoothly until after TWRP install. I recall that from TWRP I was rebooting after installing Busy Box and SuperSU. On the reboot I got the dreaded “Your device is corrupted…” and the phone instantly shut down. Pressing the power button after that message does not work. I went back to the toolkit and tried everything (stock, unroot, etc.) and nothing worked. I've rooted a NOTE 2 a few years ago but I forgot most of what I learned.
I can however boot into recovery and bootloader mode. Also it looks like all system files on the phone got wiped. The problem is that my computer can see the phone's file system only when I'm in recovery, not when I'm on the bootloader screen. Any ideas as to how to fix?
Can I put an image file on a USB stick and install from recovery? Thanks for your help..

Use fastboot. Flash system and boot and recovery from bootloader. Adb doesn't work in bootloader mode.

Actually just boot the phone. The corrupted message will disappear and the phone will boot. After 30 or 60 seconds. I forget. The kernel sets the flag that you're on a modified recovery so the message displays. Nothing wrong with the phone. Your system is still there.

Also make sure you applied the latest SuperSU available plus the boot image

i fixed that by flashing to factory firmware if you don't know how message me for steps

Phone stuck in factory reset

Hi. I'm unexperienced with this in general, so please bear with me. I treid to search similar threads but didn't find anything about my problem exactly.
I've a rooted European (Exynos, Polish or German distribution) version of Note 4. I don't run any custom OS nor did I make any changes to my phone in the last few months. As of now, it's running Lollipop.
A few weeks ago, my phone started randomly rebooting. I blamed it on old apps, did a check with antivirus and uninstalled some apps I wasn't sure about. But the problem grew worse (reboot every few minutes). I've erased all apps that had something to do with my root (Lucky Patcher was constantly popping up in my SU logs in the same minute my phone rebooted, so I uninstalled all patched app and then Lucky Patcher), deleted almost everything, checked that system apps were all the newest version. Nothing helped so I thought a factory reset seems like the best option now. I went to the Settings and did a factory reset.
But now I'M STUCK. There is this picture of the Android with the blue web that should be turning (but isn't) the screen says "Systemupdate wird installiert" (system update is installing), the picture disappears (black screen) and comes back every few seconds. There is no blue line signalising progress or anything. All this for some two hours now.
I don't want to try anything myself because I don't want to make my phone a brick. Does any of you know what my problem could be? Thanks.

I'm not too sure why your device is stuck in an update loop. But are you positive you havent tried flashing anything to your device??

Wait a second, you're saying you arent running a custom rom, yet your device has root with superuser.. Therefore you should also have a custom firmware flashed to your device.. Twrp or cwm. Irecommend twrp. If you have a custom recovery. Then boot in to recovery mode and clear cache/dalvik wipe/ factory reset etc.

Positive I haven't flashed anything. I didn't even connect it to a computer.
I think that my device has cwm but it's long since I've used it. I tried getting into recovery mode and the only thing I can see is the android figure with the blue ball, no menu, no anything.

UPDATE: I flashed twrp with ODIN, phone rebooted like after a factory reset.

There is a chance that you put your phone in odin download mode instead doing factory reset

So you got it working now? Or?? You mean rebooted successfully? Or rebooted back in to download mode?

There seems to be no problem now, my phone went back from 5.1 to 5.0.1 though. Maybe the whole thing started because of the last update. I tested and I can get to recovery mode normally, so I did a back-up just in case somethin goes wrong again.

If you managed to flash twrp and successfully booted back in to your device, then i recommend rebooting back into twrp recovery, and doing a cache and dalvik cache from within the recovery menu. And if you want root access, download the latest superSU (itll be a zip file), copy the file to the download folder of your internal storage, reboot in to your recovery, install the superSU zip file you downloaded, once its indtalled, wipe both caches again. And reboot.
Let me know how you go, and if you get stuck somewhere, dont be afraid to ask. Im happy to help

Installed TWRP 3.1.0. Can't boot into recovery. Hangs at "Your device is booting now.

Installed TWRP 3.1.0. Can't boot into recovery. Hangs at "Your device is booting now.
Hi.
I have unlocked my P9 EVA-L09. Flashed TWRP recovery. Installed SU. Downloaded and installed Huawei P9 B383 Nougat update_data_full_hw_eu.zip. Booted into system, phone working perfectly, but NO ROOT. Flashed new recovery TWRP 3.1.0-0-eva. Turned phone off. Pressed VOL + and - and power until image appears. Screen changes to EMUI updater then gives error Software install failed.
Anyone help please?

Same as before using Vol+ and Power. Still hanging at "Your device is booting now......."

Hold the keys until twrp comes up, if doesnt work, flash latest 3.1.0-2

Does it boot into android at all? Or does it only hang when trying to boot recovery? If it's the latter boot into android and then power off and boot into android again.
Then power off and try booting into twrp. If that doesn't work download twrp again because you probably have a botched download.
If it doesn't boot into android then you will have to start again from full stock because you've soft bricked your phone.

Thank you. Now able to boot to recovery! However, when I try and install SU (SR3-SuperSU-v2.79) via TWRP I hit a problem. I select the zip from internal storage and proceed to install . Phone reboots before completion. Have I the correct version of SU?
Regards

Having manage to boot into TWRP once, subsequent attempts to boot to recovery bring me to EMUI erecovery. I have tried Vol + and Power key from reboot and from shutdown with no luck. I have flashed the recovery again (3.1.0-2), but get the same result.
Regards

Use SuperSU patched for emui5.

Think I'd like to get booting into recovery before I can install SU, or have I got this back to front?

yes, no other options.

Sorry, I must be awfully thick, but I don't understand. What do you think I'm doing wrong?

Got this exact same problem. Only one build of TWRP will boot correctly and reliably that's 3.1.0-2, any other versions at all, won't boot, so 3.1.0-0 for example doesn't boot.

And I have a second problem on top of that which is mentioned in other threads. The touch screen doesn't work. I can see what's happening, but it won't respond to my finger. Using the power button locks the phone and I can't swipe to unlock because it doesn't respond to my finger. (TWRP does seem to be running OK, just not taking input from the touchscreen).
I see in other threads people have solved this one by changing their TWRP version, but since only one version works for me on this phone, I can't use that solution...

It depends if you on MM EMUI 4.1 or N EMUI 5.01 - for the latter you have to use TWRP 3.1.1.-1 ported to Huawei P9 (not some who knows where from)

or even better its extended version from

Ah yes, I am on 5.01, that would probably explain it. I'll upgrade to the latest version and see how it goes, thanks for that.

That version certainly works, although it still isn't responding on the touch screen for some unknown reason.

Touch screen in TWRP works fine for everybody. What is exactly your stock ROM and does it correspond to the builds as listed in the TWRP installation instructions I gave you
Only if you screwewd up something by using wrong TWRP
Can you boot to system?
Maybe you should flash stock eRocevery back, do Factory reset with cleaning Internal memory and flash proper TWRP again

Yeah thinking something like that. I've clearly screwed something up somewhere. I think as you say will probably sort it. Some combination of re-installing and resetting sorted it for other posters who have experienced similar.
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
And just for the record on this thread, as suggested, I restored my backups using the TWRP command line via adb (i.e. adb shell twrp ..... ) since the screen was unresponsive. Worked, except for a couple of partitions (vendor failed with a very nondescript error message of extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 ). Retrospectively would've probably been better not to use the SD card to keep the backup on, I think using the command line to back up directly on to your PC is arguably a nicer way of doing things. But didn't matter, that got everything back to a state where the screen started working properly in recovery mode and the Huawei recovery started working again as well, so I just decided to take everything back to the original state and start completely afresh.

Help me return to stock PLEASE!

Hi,
Using latest Odin I am trying to return to my phone to stock but cannot 
I have tried 4 different firmware’s already (over 20 times) and each one will PASS the flash process, phone rests, installing system update (stops at around 30%) and during the blue screen the update stops, resets, receive Erasing message for a bit and then NO COMMAND and phone will simply not boot. (with some flashes the stock recovery is not even available, working or present)
... only way to boot the phone is to install TWRP... installing the NO VERITY file seems to help in booting…
I have noticed when i plug the phone is it comes up as another device name (from a previous ROM) so i am guessing it hasn't been wiped correctly (i did formats, factory resets, wipes many many times and no change)
Back in DOWLOAD MODE under system status = CUSTOM (after flashing stock firmware)
My guess is that the new firmware I flash simply wont stick, or is half installed, or could be something to do with encryptions,
Some of the logs I see include:
Failed to open recovery
Reboot recovery cause UNKNOWN
E: Failed setting up dirty target
Fail to mount /system as rw
i have no idea what else to try

Use smart swirch recovery method in help tab. The process guide you to process. Dont worry it will be ok.
