Hello, I've recently just got this phone off someone to fix for them. It's in the constant bootloop. I can get into the bootloader, which is locked and has S-ON. However, if I try to navigate down it restarts as soon as it highlights recovery. If I navigate up, it will open up the show barcode, and exit out of it and sometimes highlight the image crc and attempt to display it. It restarts however very soon after. This phone has not been rooted or has been flashed at all.
Stuck of ideas at the minute on what to do to fix this guys phone, I don't believe he has warrenty on it either .
Any help would much be appreciated! Want to try and get this fixed.

can you navigate to fastboot and get the phone into fastbootUSB mode ?

That's the first option i'm able to get to at the top, I press the power button to select it however it just resets the phone. I presume this isn't suppose to happen and the fastboot hasn't work?
Wait, sorry. If I press Vol Up, then Vol down again, it auto selects it. However, I can't select the options in the new menu.
Sorry again, it also doesn't seem to have a fastbootUSB mode? Unless it does that when it restarts?

when you select fastboot, plug it into the computer, it should now say fastboot USB on the screen, if you cant get fastboot, you cant fix it, its knackered.

Bugger. I'll mess with it a bit more in hopes of reviving it. Cheers for the help though
If "fastboot" turns to "fastbootUSB" you will probably be OK. Try entering RUU mode from fastboot with the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" If you get this far you will just need to apply a full RUU image, which will reinstall everything, including the boot loader itself.

I can't seem to get to that, the phone restarts itself pretty much around 5-7 seconds being in the bootloader itself.
The only other reason i can imagine this happening is maybe because the battery is knackered.

sounds like your power button is stuck

Good point, the power button does seem a bit further in this one, than I have seen in other M7s. This may sound silly, but it clicks when I push it down, but have no idea how to properly bring it up.

unfortunately, i have no idea how to fix the button, but if your phone is behaving as if it's being continually pressed that would explain the reboots.
to verify, just enter bootloader, don't do anything (but be in a well lit environment), if it reboots again and again, then the power button is stuck.

Yep, I'll see about trying to fix the power button then. Here's hoping!
Also, sorry. I should've added in the op that it only turns on when it's plugged into something. If i unplugged it while it's on the htc screen or bootloader, it will stay on till it does the usual reset then stay off.
If the power button is clicking I doubt it is stuck.

When the Device restarts while you're on the HTC Boot Screen, do the LED Buttons down at the bottom flash up a couple of times prior to the reset? If so, that would be conclusive with the stuck Power Button as that is (afaik) the normal behavior for a reset by pressing and holding Power.

This is correct. A hard power down will flash the home and back keys before turning off.

I've seemed to have someone fixed the phone now, it's getting into Android (after much stress trying to get it into it!). It does seem like it's the power button that is sticky, as it's locking the screen and constantly waking it up and bringing the power button menu up. Needless to say, i'm overjoyed that it's working. Now I need to find out how to fix the power button in it.

That might actually not be quite the easiest task. If anything else fails, why not try bringing it as close to stock und untempered as you can go and hand it in for a warranty repair. With a little bit of luck they will not check the software as it is obviously a hardware button defect.
Hello,
can anyone help me. My HTC phone m7 just had a count down and then shutdown for it self. It then began to reboot over and over and it never gets pass the HTC logo.
I tried:
1. going into the splash screen, but i reboots even when i do that. It happens so quickly i can't select fastboot, factory reset or anything.
2. Holding it close to a bring light and hard reset.
3. Waiting for 48 hours.
4. leaving the battery to drained and then hard reset.
I can't remove the battery. and when ever i put the phone to charge it keeps rebooting over and over.

First, try holding the power button for few seconds till kapacitive buttons start flashing. If that doesn't help, press power + vol down to get into bootloader, and then post everything written there

I tired pressing the volume+ down button but it goes into the splash screen, where I can choose fastboot or factory reset. But when I get there, the phone reboots before I can select anything.
When I hold the power button. I did this for at lease 2 mins. Nothing happens.

OK, what does it say on that screen? Under "locked"?
There should be h-boot version and OS version above fastboot and factory reset options. We need that info to try to help you

Download this .exe to your computer, reboot your phone to bootloader mode, connect it to your computer, and run the .exe. That should fix any software issues

If it's in bootloader mode it should be fine. In order to run the .exe file your phone must be in bootloader mode. You managed togo into bootloader, so there should be no problem. If that .exe doesn't solve your issue, than it's safe to say it's a hardware issue

Hello, my young brother just bootlooped his new phone, he tried to root the device.
He was following this tutorial - https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
Unlocking bootloader went fine, then installing TWRP went (probably) fine, then the phone needed another factory reset. And since that moment, there is just "Your device has been unlocked..." and we can't do anything. Going to recovery is impossible. The battery is above 50% so waiting for it to go down on its own will take over a week.
We have a backup made with HiSuite.
I'm not really into huawei, so I've not a single clue what to do. Please, help us guys. Thanks in advance.

I'm not any good at such things, really. I don't want to brick the phone, that's why i'm asking you for help. And your help didn't enlight anything, really. So sorry for my ignorance, but I would be greatful if you could explain it in easier way. Thanks in advance.

Turn of your phone than HOLD Volume Down button than connect to usb than yout phone reboot into fastboot
That's what I try to do. Fastboot doesn't load when i hold volume down + power. I can't turn the device off because it just continously starts over and over again. The phone starts normally when battery goes down completely, system loads but then phone goes off due to lack of battery.

Sent me a massage after you going to Fastboot
I can't enter fastboot, it doesn't start. It just restarts and i see the screen "phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted, phone is booting..." something like that.
you cant enter fastboot, if you have not... do you even know, what you need to do, to enter fastboot? there is more than two thing to do, so, does you realy know what need to do ? call all thngs you need to do, to enter fastboot please.
got similar problems, because i instaled wrong custom recovery.
there are 2 sugestions, got in fastboot, im sure, its working if do it properly and instal proper recovery, for your model. second, use dc phoenis here
ps. why this post are in p9 not p9 lite forum?!
Well, I plug the device to PC using usb cable and when it's bootlooping I hold volume down and power button. That's how i was entering fastboot before. Now it doesn't work.
I've got stock recovery.
hold power button ~30 sec, force restart. even then nothing? well, if fastboot not working, then its gone. Ofcorse, there need to be a way, how you put on board files to work software, but im sure, thease things have only huawei.
The phone is just bootlooping, nothing else. If the battery goes down and i plug it to its charger I'm able to boot normally into the system. But once i try to turn it off it bootloops again.

I just updated to January 2019 update, everything was fine until i pressed 'Restart now' after it finished updating. Now it froze at Androidone screen. I hold the power button, it vibrates and looks like it's starting up but instead it freezes again at Androidone screen. If I unplug my phone it seemingly shuts down after a while, but again if I try anything it's the same thing again and I remain stuck at the Androidone screen. Please help. Thanks, Vladan
Same issue. After the update..phone boots up to Androidone logo and shuts down. If the I press the power button, it vibrates and comes up to Androidone logo and screen goes blank again
I have same problem. for me it because I forgot to remove Magisk before update. I fix by flash December Rom and then update January pacth.

I have the same issue. I am able to use fastboot commands from my computer, but cannot (or do not know how to) sideload update .tgz file I downloaded from en.miui.com.
Also, I am unable to use adb commands and boot into recovery.
same issue with two mi a2. stuck on bootloader after update.
I can press and hold vol- + power to boot into fast boot.
Then press and hold vol+ + power to get it to boot back to the old partition for normal use.
There might be another update later on which would probably fix the issue?
I tried to update again and now I get the same issue ouch...
Mine went well but I did something wrong in Magisk and it stop booting.
In fastboot mode I've changed it from A to B and it loaded PIE with january update. So, try to change from A to B ou B to A and see if that fixes the problem.
Tried to boot this morning but no luck.
However... The phone came back to live this evening but God knows how.
Mmm... What is going on
Confirmed, unfortunately
Dammit, you guys!.. UNFORTUNATELY, this is confirmed!!
Brand new Mi A2 (Global Version), from the shop today and went through System updates - through, to Google January 2019 Security Update and the device will not boot; same problem as with everybody else here. Argh.

Yup, had just managed to start it: system was up. Went for a Factory Reset and now I'm back in the loop. Stuck again, just upon rebooting. This is going the be a serious issue.
Try to start it with holding both volume buttons down and power - then release after logo and, also -perhaps- volume down.

^^ At least, that's what I think I'd done, heh. Sorry, not 100% sure, all happened in -serious- panic! xF
EDIT: Ah, well, thank God (LOL). It looks like there isn't anything wrong with Google's "Security patch level: January 5, 2019" (Android 9)!
However, because this happened through normal operation - it seems that a LOT of people *are* going to have this problem...
How many know that you should Factory (Data) Reset after a (regular, OTA) update; and how many will be able to boot their device, out of the loop. Geez!
P.S. Btw., you owe me *beers! ;$

I had similar issue with April 2019 update. But mine was switching off few seconds after the Android One logo screen. The phone can boot into fastboot mode though.
But instead of connecting to the PC like ol3w, I had mine connected to a charger to add some juice to the battery, thinking I will have to flash the firmware again. Few minutes later, I was promptted with a "The phone failed to boot previously, do you want to "Retry"/"Shutdown"" screen. (note: I can't really remember if the second option was "Shutdown" or something else). I selected "Retry" thinking it will fail again. But then, couple of minutes later, the phone booted correctly.
Xiaomi's security patch is getting quite... unreliable recently. Wondering if I should abandon ship when pixel 3a is out (if it doesnt cost premium money)
Same problem with boot after update 2019
Failed to boot
I had the same problem. My problem was solved by using USB cable. I connected USB cable to the PC and mobile and I pushed Power. Mobile booted correctly and I work from this time. Try it, I wish you good luck.

I'm trying to install a custom ROM onto my Xperia XZ1 Compact but I got stuck in the beginning. The first step would be to unlock the bootloader. I followed multiple tutorials but none of them worked for me, because I can't get my phone to reboot into fastboot mode. I tried two ways basically:
1. Turn off device, hold Volume down button for 2 secs, plug USB while holding the button. Nope, nothing happens, the only thing I get is the green led is on, I guess indicating that the phone is being charged.
2. Turn off device, plug USB and launch the command adb reboot fastboot (My computer is running Linux but I think it doesn't matter). The phone turns off but does not restart. If I just do adb reboot it reboots in normal mode. I also tried adb reboot bootloader but it just turns off the phone.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

It seems that this issue is now solved. Black screen with green led on means that your phone is in fastboot mode. Do not expect any feedback on the screen.
