How to fix stuck on boot screen? - Xposed General

So I successfully rooted my lg k8 2018 (lg aristo 2). I decided to install gravitybox and turned on some things. I rebooted my phone and now it's stuck on the boot logo. I can't boot into recovery because I get the bootloader is unlocked message. (Not possible to re-lock it w/o putting my phone into a boot loop). I can get into fastboot by holding down and plugging in my phone. What should I do?

Update: I need to be able to get into recovery to flash xposed uninstaller. However, because I get the bootloader is unlocked message, I cant. I tried at least a thousand times. I also tried the button combination to disable xposed on startup. That didn't work. It was running android 7.X (I think 7.1 or 7.2)

[Q] Boot loop after Google's update

My out of the box Nexus 6 is now stuck looping on and off at the Google boot screen after it tried to install the system update.
I've used the toolkit 1.9.8 to go back to stock. It goes thru the steps appearing to show OKAY and finished at each step. It never reboots the phone at the end. I try to force reboot after waiting for several minutes and it still boot loops. I try again the process again and sometimes it loops and a few times it actually starts up to the welcome screen. However, if I try to root or update recovery (using the toolkit), I get the boot looping again.
Did google bork my phone during a failed update? Is there anything else I can do to completely restore the phone? I've also downloaded the images on google and flashed---same boot loop.
Ultimately, my phone is now booting up to the welcome screen as expected and shows LRX21O. BUT, if I try to do anything (root or recovery), boot loop results again.
(I was able to unlock the phone and know about the usb debug and OEM unlock settings in dev menu, fyi).

XT1092 flashing (as in on screen flashing) recovery "no command" screen. Bricked?

XT1092 flashing (as in on screen flashing) recovery "no command" screen. Bricked?
Apparently I did something stupid. I had 5.1 which didn't OTA on its own to 6.0. So I thought it maybe had something to do with a past root i had and TWRP recovery. As solution I went and flashed a stock 5.1 rom in fastboot, which worked fine. Still no OTA though, and adb sideloading gave a status 7 error. Then I fastbooted the 6.0 stock rom, but that wouldn't boot (phone would hang in the white "unlocked bootloader" warning screen. I re-flashed 5.1 in fastboot.
Probably not a smart move, cause now I'm stuck in a bootloop to recovery mode where it's flashing the "no command" recovery screen for a fraction of a second, then black screen for 4 seconds, repeating over and over. I can trigger some orange log error by pressing VOL*UP like when you go to recovery mode, but it disappears in the bootloop. (it says qe 1/1 though, which suggests its rooted I read somewhere). So I can't do anything with it anymore. I read tons of threads here of which I found 2 with a similar problem:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/possibly-soft-bricked-moto-x-flashing-t3195103
It's the same problem I have now, and one of them says that "with some luck" he got into fastboot, but doesn't describe how.
Googling "flashing" related to recovery and/or "no command screen" in this context does'nt yield much result unfortunately.
For the love of god, I can't get it into fastboot mode anymore to do something/anything about it. I pressed, hold, tapped POWER and VOL*UP on countless ways, and it does a "deeper" reboot with appearance of the white unlocked bootloader screen, but it just keeps bootlooping.
How can I fix this? Did I brick it by fastboot flashing 6.0 and then fastboot flashing 5.1? Is it hard bricked and useless?
What do I have to flash when I manage to get in fastboot?
OK, I fixed it. Discovered it when the battery was drained. When the phone is OFF, holding POWER+VOL*UP+VOL*DOWN for 5 seconds and then releasing triggers the fastboot. Problem then is that you can't flash anything cause the battery is nerely depleted. So I let it charge in the bootloop for a bit and I found out I can hard reboot and get into fastboot by holding POWER+VOL*UP+VOL*DOWN for about 10 seconds and then releasing it. It probably turns off and then triggers the fastboot/bootloader mode.
Afraid of bricking it with OTA as I've downgraded to 5.1 from a (non-functioning) 6.0 I've manually flashed a 6.0 stock ROM in fastboot using this guide including mfastboot. So no sideloading or anything. Now it properly boots and I've got a stock 6.0.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

softbricked 6? stuck at boot animation

Was running stock 6.0.1 in unlocked mode, and applied the 7.0 OTA Tuesday AM. Phone booted fine, with the exception that the 6.0.1 boot animation displaying. Phone booted into 7.0, so whatever. worked great for 2 days, when i woke up yesterday screen wouldn't turn on, so hold the the power button and re-start. Phone got to boot animation and stayed there for an hour until i shut it off, never got to the pattern unlock screen. I've tried wiping it, factory resetting it, installing TWRP to wipe and install, nothing, still stuck at the boot animation, no matter how long i let it sit. I've tried flashing other roms, with the same results. I can get into bootloader and recovery without issue, and can flash without errors (that i'm aware of) but always have the same result. Any thoughts? Or am i going phone shopping today?

Device suddenly in bootloop [merlin]

Hello everyone, my phone (Redmi Note 9 merlin) has started bootlooping. It can boot to fastboot, but is unable to boot to recovery (either through fastboot reboot recovery or Vol + during boot). I have tried using SP Flash Tool using the hard brick tutorial and it still bootloops even though all steps proceed normally. I have tried to flash both old and new versions of MIUI, and all of them stlil do not work.
My bootloader is still locked so I am unable to use fastboot or other tools (like MiFlashBoot) on it.
Trying to unlock it from Mi Unlock gives me an error (1004). It seems to be due to the SIM card not being the same but I have not touched the SIM card since I got the phone.
In the past I have used MiPhoneAssistant to restore it as I could access recovery mode, but now even recovery mode is out of my reach.
What should I do now?
Thanks for your time.
Do you know what could cause the boot looping? The most common one is after installing a new version of MIUI.
I'm not sure how it happened, but if it is caused by a MIUI update, how would I go about fixing it?
If it has a locked bootloader and it's still in a warranty. Visit the store where you bought it from and claim the phone has stopped working and started bootlooping.

Pixel 4 XL won't boot anymore

Hello all,
I have been using my Pixel 4 XL for years, and all of a sudden it shut down, and now it keeps being stuck in a booting loop.
I get to Google's logo and the loading animation ... and then it turns black, and starts all over, in a loop.
I am able to access the bootloader and recovery mode.
I tried a complete wipe through recovery mode, didn't change anything.
I wanted to flash original images, but the bootloader is locked and I haven't found any way to unlock it without going through the phone settings (which doesn't boot anymore).
All fastboot flashing related commands fail stating my device is locked.
Would you have any suggestion ?
Anything I should try before considering my device is completely dead ?
Thanks in advance

Try sideloading an OTA image. You can do that with a locked bootloader.
Thanks Lughnasadh
I've tried multiple times, and the process fails randomly, at different percentages ...
The phone suddenly reboots and the laptop displays " adb: failed to read command: No error"
The weird thing is it doesn't reboot and can stay up for super long while on the bootloader.
With a locked bootloader the rescue OTA (full OTA image flashed via adb) is all you have. I would try a different data cable (A-to-C) first and then move to a different computer. Make sure the new PC is running the latest adb/fastboot binaries. This is why I unlock the bootloader on every Pixel in my family. Even though they will never root the phone, if the fit hits the shan you have many more options. BTW, I just traded in my son's P4XL and got $285 trade-in on a 6a. Net cost was less than $150. The deal just ended but will likely come back again. Same deal was offered earlier but included a pair of first-gen earbuds. Wish you luck on getting your old phone working. The P4XL is still my primary phone and is still working well.
