I stupidly got my phone stuck in a boot loop whilst trying to update my rom
I can easily fix this once I get home but I am currently at work without the means to do so
All I want to do is power down my phone so it doesn't waste all the batts but everytime I turn it off it boots up again automatically
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this (a dumb problem which I created myself)
Its a little worrying as I don't want to lose 100% power whilst stuck in this loop
Thanks for your help
Just found I can power down via fastboot
Problem solved
Thanks anyway

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I'm running a non-rooted, GSM, stock 4.0.1 Galaxy nexus. My phone restarted on its own and is now stuck in an infinite boot loop. I did several battery pulls to turn the phone off. Turning it on again, it gets stuck in the boot loop never reaching the homescreen.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Well you could grab an Odin flash file and reset your phone from download mode. When powering on the fone hold volume down and power.
Also could hold both volume buttons and power when turning on to go into fast boot mode where you could try flashing a stock image through fastboot from your pc

How do I even get the files on the phone?

Get into a bootloader and factory reset your phone.
It was happening to my gn everytime I put it in my pocket. Why I don't know. I put my gn in perfectly working condition in my pocket and when I pulled it out wanting to, say, take a picture, it was looping.
Been to the store, called tech supp... nobody knows why.
That all stopped after I unlocked, rooted and flashed a custom rom. Not one crash ever since (10 days)
Thanks man. I just brought it back to the store and they replaced it.
anybody knows how to back up my pictures/movies. I got also the boot loop issue and I first want to secure my files before resetting... My GN is not rooted or modded whatsoever.

I', afraid it's not possible without root and CWM.
Hi everyone,
I seem to have run into a problem. I tried patching/rooting my Sony Smartwatch 3 to get NFC running on it, but I have probably done something wrong along the way. Right now I'm stuck in a bootloop with only the 'SONY' screen visible for about 8 seconds, before it reboots. I can't power it down by holding the power button, it simply doesn't do anything. Has anyone come across this before and managed to fix it? I'm not sure what to do right now other than wait for the battery to die and hope that I can boot into fastboot after that.
Thanks!

Well, waiting for the battery to die helped. I managed to get to fastboot and flash a new image onto the watch.
Hey guys,
I started having this issue randomly start occurring a few hours ago and so basically the phone keeps boot looping. This is not a normal boot loop as I can get into fastboot but it still keeps restarting once I'm in it; as if the power button is stuck. I have tried to power down the phone but couldn't so I just let it drain itself over night. I have tried to charge it and I have noticed that the charging icon is in a sort of loop where it tries to turn on then goes to the warning page of an unlocked bootloader and then boot loops. I have no idea what caused this and I can't follow any of these other solutions as I can't stay in fastboot long enough to use adb.
Edit 1:
Just tried to quickly flash the stock bootloader while simultaneously holding power+down to stay in fastboot but still boot loops. I cannot even toggle through the settings of the fastboot mode and the screen just keeps 'refreshing' every half a second so I can't really do much.
Edit 2:
It has just fixed itself overnight and I am able to boot normally after flashing the magisk_patched boot.img
OS: Android 10 stock
Rooted: Magisk latest
Custom Kernel: ElementalX
So I updated to Android 11 on Tuesday, and all seemed fine. Last night my phone was trying to install an app, and seemed to freeze.
After a few minutes, I forced it to shut-down (power + vol down) and it started to reboot. It got to the G logo with the small bottom bar animation for a number of minutes and eventually kicked back into Recovery mode.
I decided to try rebooting, and it started to reboot, got to the Google logo (the full word, not the "G"), and then kicked back into rebooting.
The phone now constantly reboots and even if I get into fastboot mode, it only stays in fastboot until I hit a key (vol up/down or power) and it then reboots into constant bootloops described above.
If I don't push a button on fastboot mode, it will just start booting anyways after about 3-5 seconds.
Does anybody know of what I could do? Not sure if replacing the battery would help (e.g. a power issue) or if it may be a corruption of the flash memory and that the system and underlying partitions are corrupt leading to nothing I could do to repair the phone.
I have really enjoyed this phone, but I am afraid that this phone is all-but-dead and unusable.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
You can try flashing the stock rom from recovery or from fastboot.
Had something similar on an og Pixel... Turned out to be a broken power switch.
I had a weird issue last week. Phone would freeze after a couple of minutes and would reboot. It would also boot loop while connected for charging (wireless and corded.). The battery would not charge. I would shut down the phone and when I plugged in the charger, it would boot loop. The battery finally discharged to 0% and shut off. I plugged the charger in and it remained off. I let it charge to 100% and it's been working for the past week without issue. I'm not sure what happened.
I would suggest letting the battery drain to 0% and go from there. HTH
I updated my 3XL to Android 11 two days ago and since then I have caught it rebooting at seemingly random times, though only when it is on the wireless charger. I guess it's back to Android 10 for now. Hopefully reverting a Pixel is as easy as it was on the Nexus. Thanks Google.

Are you familiar with how to use commands in platform-tools to flash stock images? How did you upgrade? OTA? Are you rooted? Is it unlocked or Verizon variant? If unlocked, do you know how to unlock the bootloader?

I am proficient in using the bootloader. Phone has been bootloader unlocked since day one.
I upgraded to Android 11 with ota and all was good for a day (rooted with Magisk canary). Then the phone started acting up, first not booting system and then bootlooping.
I can get into the bootloader (fastboot) but only for maximum 3-5 seconds before the phone reboots, or if I hit any button (vol up/down) the phone reboots. Also, if connected to my computer the USB does not recognize fastboot anymore (before it reboots anyways)
I think it's dead, Jim.
