I recently installed a security upgrade (24th Jan 2019). Now the phone is stuck cycling between the Powered by android screen and the Nokia screen. My volume up button stopped working a long time ago. Is there another way to hard reset the phone please?
Thanks in advance

Just confirming your in the right forum? (i.e. Nokia 8)
I wasn't aware the January security patch had been released yet. Did it arrive on your device via OTA or did you manually install it?
It arrived on my device. Yes it's a Nokia 8 with android 8.1

Did you unlock your bootloader , flashed TWRP and then changed the slot? Slot A to B or vice versa?
If so, then the solution is
How to solve!
I simply waited until the battery ran out
When battery was completely dead and no Nokia-logo appear any more >>
Then I charged the battery 3% juice without booting
and from there I entered recovery-mode with the help of a USB cable.
Holding the volume+ button while connecting the USB-cable
From TWRP-recovery I changed to the other inactive slot
and whooala, that's it!

I got a notification from the phone about a new HTC update on July 27, 2011... I connected my phone to Zune player and started the update (which was estimated to be done in 45 minutes).
Now the update was stuck at the 9th step, which is rebooting the phone, for 2+ hours.. I hesitated and had to unplug my phone from the USB and try to reboot it myself.
Obviously it did not work. Every time I power up my phone I get 6 vibrations and the phone is stuck on the HTC page... I even tried restoring to the factory settings (by pressing power, VolUp and VolDown buttons) but it still fails.
I found this thread on T-mobile community and tried installing a new ROM.
URL: http : // support.t-mobile.com/message/11762#11762
This failed and now the phone is completly dead and I cannot turn it back on again... I cannot even recharge the battery.
Any thoughts guys? Is there anyone who can help me install and reset my phone to it's original state??
My phone (and zune) did not show any new updates. It always says my phone is update. I wonder how/why so many people are getting this July update?
Does anyone know what changes after July'11 update? Any change in version/fw numbers?
Not sure of the specifics, but the HTC update is a firmware and radio upgrade. Most assume it is in preparation for the official Mango release. Those on Mango Beta, such as myself, will have to revert back to NoDo to get that update.
its a firmware update..updates radio .
not sure what its purpose is.
This update is available after you install mango RTM, it will appear right away. Upgrades the radios for the mango version. Could potentially brick a nodo device. Don't know how u managed to get it.....
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Hello everyone,
I received an OTA update last night for my phone for Android Lollipop. If I had known better, I wouldn't have updated it.
Since the update, my screen doesn't timeout or lock, it just restarts. If I press the power button to turn the screen off, it restarts. I can either shut the phone off completely or keep the screen on, which obviously kills the battery pretty quick.
I tried doing factory reset already, issue is still there. I tried wiping cache partition, same issue.
At this point, I would really like to downgrade to KitKat. Is that possible? And if so, how? I'm on a Vodafone UK contract. My phone is not unlocked.
Any other solution that might help. I don't know what else to do. Please help.

sounds like your phone is broken ..return it if it's Locked and never rooted
Finally fixed
In the end, I had to unlock the bootloader, root the phone and flash a customer ROM (Android Revolution). It worked! Now, I can finally switch my screen off without the phone restarting!
Thanks,
Rose

you also lost your warranty in the process. If it had not worked you would have been stuck paying for a repair
I'm happy it worked out for you
I recently acquired a Nexus 6 last month. Everything was fine until I got the new 5.1 update notification. I decided to let it download overnight.
The next morning I unlocked my device to find that I couldn't even do that, because pressing the numbers for the pin code did nothing!
Turning it off by holding the power button (the power off option on screen didn't work) only restarted the device. Restarting didn't fix the issue.
Please help! :crying:

USB debugging isn't on, so the toolkit wasn't able to identify my device.
How do I turn on usb debugging from a computer? The screen is completely unresponsive so I can't get past my lockscreen

I had a similar issues with my first Nexus 6 I bought. It worked find for a whole day and then one morning I wasn't able to unlock it and my touch screen wasn't working anymore. Did not flash anything on it-it was 100% stock. I have the feeling you may have the same problem. I am not sure 100% but you may need to contact Motorola for replacement.

So I managed to unlock bootloader and flash stock via fastboot mode and the device booted up after erasing was done.
The welcome screen appeared and the screen was still unresponsive, I couldn't press anything
I'm worried Motorola's warranty won't cover my device since I bought it from Saudi and I'm currently living in Sudan.
I have an upcoming trip to Malaysia, I'm wondering if I should take it with me there and try to fix the issue.
Sometimes in January this year I tried to root the phone with magisk but after installation my phone started to freeze and seize. Then I was charging one morning it just suddenly went off and tried to reboot itself but it doesn't show the home screen just the power on animations then reboot. It does this for like 2 hours and then it went dead. Luckily it came back on after 5 days but still the same issue rebooting but won't come on and then after some hours it went off again. My system wasn't able to detect not even on device manager. Now today 25th of April it came on again but still the same problem I tried all I could but to no avail. Now it's dead again maybe until 2 months time before coming on again. Who can help me please?
Full wipe.
Flash RAW.
Please teach me how to go about that.
