The phone was working normally, but out of nowhere, it started to reboot in a loop. It turns himself alone from the moment i put the battery, the MIUI logo comes up and reboots after 2 or 3 seconds, repeating this over and over.
I can access to the TWRP and i already changed to 3 different roms, did a wipe in all times, however the issue is still present. The On/Off button is not stuck for sure, so i already ruled out that option
I'm really trying no to go to the warranty, due to the fact it was bought in China, so i don't expect nothing good from them
If someone has an idea, please , i really appreciate.
Hi,
When you use TWRP, you have to wipe all : data, internal memory, cache...
Download official rom from MIUI forum : you can use Fastboot, I think it's better solution than TWRP...
Good luck

Hi, thanks for the advice but i cannot even access to the Fastboot, because after entering in fastboot mode the phone reboots again. However it doesn't reboot with TWRP.

Hello everyone!
I have a Lenovo a820 with Lambda rom 2.4v.
I'm using it for a couple of weeks now with this last version, and everything was fine, until suddenly it froze for a while, I unplugged the battery and plugged it again, and what I notice was that the phone restored itself to when after I installed the rom (meaning all of the apps were gone).
So I tried going into Google play, installing some apps back, and I get this error -24 telling me its unable to install the app, happened with any app I tried. so after trying a few suggestions from the internet about this error, I decided to format it and install the rom all over again.
I go back to recovery mode with CWM, try to install the lambda rom like I did before, and in the middle of the installation it reboots and gets stuck in the "lenovo" screen like when you boot it. so after waiting for a long time I unplugged and plugged the battery again, went through the procedure again this time it installed it 100% rebooted so it would boot with the mod, and again, it freezes at "lenovo" start screen unable to boot.
went on recovery mode, formatted system, data, emmc, everything... I think that's the issue here. but im not sure.
After that, tried to install again with the same problem.
The problem now is. it won't even start I press the on/off button to start it normally, and I dont even get the "lenovo" screen, I tried going into recovery mode and no luck.
It's like the phone is dead! Although I have another Lenovo A820 and I tried the battery, and its 60% so that's not the battery.
Do you guys know any tricks? or any tools that I could use to get my phone running again?
I would appreciate it very much, any help you can give.
Matt.

The boot.img must be wrong try rom for your phone.
Sent from my Moto G
Greetings,
My device is probably about three years old, I was totally satisfied until I noticed sudden change in my phone's performance about three months ago, way too laggy even after doing factory resets and etc.. , battery was being sucked faster than it supposed (even with a new battery), heating up whenever it decides to, not being able to handle hardcore-use which it could handle in the past... etc.
So, I took all that as a sign that my phone needs to be replaced. Last night while I was on my pc and the phone was sitting in front of me, I caught the phone restarting by it's own. I noticed this happening frequently over the past few months, and usually nothing wrong happens, although I had to remove the SD card once.
But this time its a whole different issue, the phone was stuck on "Samsung galaxy s III .. blah blah" , pressing the power button wouldn't turn off the phone and it would turn itself on the moment I put back the battery. I surfed the web for info and found topics that called this "stuck power button issue" and they suggested to smack the power button with battery or smack the phone itself (without holding any grudge against the phone ). I did that and it fixed the issue of the phone turning itself on.
At this point I found out the next issue, the OS won't boot & i would still be stuck at "Samsung galaxy s III ..." screen. So I tried to boot into CWM (Power+Home+Vol Up) but it would loop me back to the same screen 'till death >_>
Then I checked if I could enter download mode and it was a success, afterwards I downloaded a stock .md5 for my phone (and specified country), Loaded it to odin and tried to flash using that, and it failed on me ... check the pic below if you wanna see the error massages

FAIL !! I tried it twice, I can't think of what to do anymore ... Being able to access BBM (I got a habit of making notes there) & Contacts (I am not sure if superbackup was being a good boy and made backups everyday) would be nice .. But I don't think it's gonna happen ... All I really care about is being able to recover everything from my Internal storage, I don't care if the phone becomes unusable or whatever.. I just need the internal storage.
+ My phone is rooted, I have some nandroid backups and the Rom I was using was Android Revolution HD
Update 12/10
I messed around with the phone, and found out that I can still get in cwm, but I keep getting stuck with "can't mount cache/recovery/..." "can't open cache/recovery/..."error
Since the phone is three years old the battery could be the culprit. Try with your friends battery to see if the phone is booting properly. Still if your phone stucks in boot loop then repalce your power button.
I faced similar issue. My phone went into bootloop even when in recovery. It would reboot while OS installation is in progress. Weird. Rebooting while in recovery could damage the recovery itself and next time it wont even boot into recovery.

I am positive that the issue is not the battery, since it's new and i did try the older one and nothing changed. I still get stuck at the same screen x_X
The phone told me there was a new update I started to install it, got to reboot and now is just on the elephone logo which comes every 20 sec and goes again. I cannot turn the phone off or do anything with it. Any help please

so my battery was fully empty now.. i even pressed the power button 100 times after the battery was empty, to make sure all current is out of the phone.
plugged in charger... after 10 seconds phone start itself (after viewing the picture of empty battery) and elephone logo shows short and then back to showing picture of empty batterie cycle. After some minutes, and battery is loaded a little bit, elephone logo cycles again.
So rest in piece my p9000, i can nothing, i cant do anything from my pc because its only starting for like 5 seconds, i cant shut it down because of that and i cant get in factory mode
i am so pissed right now
just wanted to install the new update, everything worked fine like all the times before that and now my phone is ready for the trashcan.
Is there any way to reset the software without getting in factory mode?

the phone turns on and off in a cycle of 5 seconds, so that wont work
and i cant stop that cycle.
even if battery is 0% (i even press power button many times so really its drained out). If i recharge it, the cycle starts again without me doing anything. The Power button is not broken or something. it all began after i started new ota update and the phone rebooted like "mkitty" has the same problem it seems
Same for me, I have no idea how to restart my phone. And i dont want to loose all data I have on it.
have you tried to hold the volume up and power at the same time during the restart process to try and force recovery?

Hello,
Yes . I have tried that.
I have a list of options that come up on the screen.
I have tried them apart from the wipe data/factory reset.
But it is still the same result.
Thank you for help.
Any more ideas?

Its actually a great phone. Do you have twrp installed and can you get access to it? You could always boot into twrp transfer over the ROM and install it from there. If you have installed the vcom drivers then when the USB not recognized alert pops up. Go to settings and device manager. Right click the unknown device and click let me pick driver. You should be able to install it from there
The only thing I can suggest is to take the back panel of and unplug the battery. There videos on how to do this if you search YouTube or the forum. Effectively you perform a hard reset of the phone.
If and when you do get it working just twrp installed and do a backup of the whole phone working before performing any future upgrades or Rom changes. Its just better safe then sorry.
thenk you very much for that
The problem is that when I connect the phone on the off to the pc starts again the cycling through the elephone logo so the pc sees the phone for a few seconds in which does not recognises it and then is like the phone goes off until the next cycle so no time to go to device manager and install manually. but thank you for the comment.
removing the battery will void the warranty. I had the phone only since may.
It's unlikely it really matters. Your phone seller not going to take it back or fix it for free just because it's bootlopping. Well they may so just ask them. If you can't get it into recovery then a battery disconnect or contact your seller are your options
thank you

I can get it into recovery mode but I haven't got any software install in the sd card to do a recovery that is why I thought my only option was the sp flashing tool and the room which I have

Well in that case all you need is a stock rom and yes just flash them with sp tools and it should start booting again. The fact you can get to recovery is a good sign.

sorry for all of this and thank you very much for your help but when I put the phone in recovery mode by pressing the down volume and power key and connect the phone to the pc it is not recognized by the pc so I can't flash the room
Hi guys,
first of all thank you for taking your time and reading through this. I'm not completely new to android, nor using fastboot and recovery. I flashed a few phones over the past years I even resurrected bricked ones. However I have no idea what is happening to my Honor 8. One thing to mention, it's the latest Nougat update, and a STOCK ROM.
It all started this afternoon. The phone suddenly reboot while using it. After that, the android screen came on, then Honor animation and.. freeze. Completely. I had to reboot using the long press method since it was stuck between the bootloader and the rom itself. It started up ok after that.
An hour passed, and while I was typing a message, it froze again. I could go back to home but the phone was really slow. After opening up Messenger again, it froze completely. Had to restart again with the long-press reboot method. It started up ok, entered the sim pin and upon entering the screenlock code it froze again, completely. Long-press reboot, again.
Since then, the phone won't boot. It gets stuck every time on "Honor powered by Android" for about a minute, then it reboots itself. I even got some weird green screen with a blue and a red rectangle, but that just stopped after a few reboots.
I mentioned that I know how to recover and fix stuff when something acts weirdly, but that's not the case, I can't do ANYTHING. No fastboot, no recovery, no button combinations, I can't even turn off the phone. It just keeps rebooting on and on, and yes, the battery will eventually die, but I have no access to any recovery options. I even tried dload but no luck.
It's still under warranty so I can send it back but I just rather fix it at home (without taking it apart), because I don't want to wait 3 weeks to get fixed. But it seems like that is the only option right now, I have never ever seen anything like this happen.
Any help or comment is appreciated. Even if it's not possible to do it at home (hardware issues?), I am really curious what can be the cause of this issue (damaged rom, filesystem permission issues?).
Thanks.
hello everyone,
my redmi note 3 pro special (kate) with locked bootloader and always original roms (never modified) has been stopped for about 2 years due to inactivity, but before it had always worked great!
wednesday I tried to turn on my kate.
the device went into continuous bootloop. whereupon I tried to enter fastboot, activate edl and flash with miflash a whole series of roms, from the last, to 9.6, 9.5, 6.7 and all those that can still be found, but always with the same disappointing result: the device makes the first start (sometimes forcing it with a restart because it remained enchanted for hours in the initial animation after the "mi" logo), but immediately during the initial configuration of the so returns to restart without allowing use.
whereupon, I decide to open the back of the redmi and disconnect the battery overnight, in the hope that this could solve any problems.
but unfortunately nothing...
after yet another flash and I start, I can't even start this morning: when I press the power button the fixed initial logo "mi" starts, goes off and starts again ... I'm practically in infinite bootloop ...
I only need the kate as a forklift, but I would be sorry to have to throw it away completely.
does anyone have a suggestion to get out of this troubles?
