Hi guys,
Need a bit of help. I was scrolling through Instagram when the phone froze, restarted, and now it just keeps restarting without being able to get past the Google logo. It did get to the colored dots ONCE after powering it down completely from bootloader. I was on stock 7.0 (but August or September security update), stock kernel, but rooted with SuperSU 2.76 and TWRP 3.0.2-1. I just downloaded the factory image and flashed the bootloader, boot, vendor, cache, system (radio is the same), and TWRP 3.0.2-1 and it's doing the exact same thing. I can't even boot into TWRP, it bootloops at the Google logo just the same. EDIT: I was able to get into TWRP once but the phone froze again and rebooted!
I would really like to recover my data partition if at all possible. Please help!
EDIT: I put it in the freezer for half an hour and when I took it out it was able to boot again. Copying my stuff now. Will update when it inevitably breaks again...
EDIT2: Once it warms up it freezes and starts to go into a bootloop again. Damn, most likely a hardware issue.

I upgraded to MM back the beginning of the month, tripped my Knox bit (I had rooted via PingPong root on Lollipop), but I was eager to go to MM and try Xposed so I could improve the horrible battery life.
I had the system working fine, rooted using CFAR, and no problems. Randomly, about a week ago, it just "lost" root. I wasn't sure why, and CFAR from Odin wouldn't bring it back. I did a flash with SuperSU in TRWP yesterday and it worked, and I did a NANDroid backup, saved it to my computer, and installed Xposed... On a stock ROM.
And my phone has been a continuously rebooting brick ever since, no matter what I do.
So, I've tried everything I can think of. Because my data was completely backed up, I did a complete wipe, and nothing. I tried flashing the Xposed-uninstaller.zip and that supposedly worked, but the phone reboots about 53 seconds after it starts up, continuously, no matter what.
I've tried the default MM firmware, tried letting it go through it's paces on its own (but it just reboots every 53-57 seconds), and also tried with a fresh clean default MM ROM, which does dump TRWP, then restart into the default bootloader, have it dump the cache and do a complete re-wipe, and nothing. Still restarts.
With the stock MM firmware load, the first boot it always stops at 32%, reboots, and when it comes back up it sometimes makes it through "optimizing xx of 30 applications" but always reboots and comes back to it over and over, ad infinitum. Sometimes it makes it to 30, usually it doesn't, but it always fails, reboots, and comes back to the same menu on a stock ROM.
ADP and MTP in TRWP work fine, and all my data is backed up. So, I'm willing to do anything to the device; nothing left on it to care about (I already tried NAND erase in Odin and format partitions in TRWP). It still continuously reboots at around 53 seconds.
I've also tried custom ROMs loaded up from TRWP (Renegade 1.1 and TeamSPR V3). They apparently load - everything looks/works great from inside TRWP - then invariably they reboot at about the 53 second mark. Can't even get Renegade past the boot screen.
Nothing was done hardware-wise to break it; the Knox bit flipped three weeks ago, and the SuperSU upgrade had been working fine. The action that killed it was attempting to install the Xposed framework on a default ROM that only had SuperSU installed. But I've since installed a default ROM and ran the Xposed uninstall to no avail. The uninstall Zip in TRWP gave all the right responses that it worked, but it still rebooted 53 seconds after restart. Continuously.
I don't even know how to go back to Lollipop because attempts to load G920PVPU1AOCF in Odin gives me an immediate failure of "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1," so downgrading appears to be out of the question.
Someone has to have seen something like this before or there's something I'm missing. About the only thing I can think of is to try a custom ROM install and force the Xposed framework again without even letting it boot up (because it won't anyway) from a TRWP install. I'm going to attempt that while hopefully someone else comes up with ideas for me...
rebooting
people have had luck letting their phone battery die completely and rebooting after charging just a little bit. make sure its completely discharged before rebooting

Stick it in Odin mode and let it die, once it gets to the point where you cannot turn it on anymore, it's good :good:

NP, glad it worked:good:
I tried to update to the latest update to the Razer Phone and was able to install it successfully, but when I went to install Magisk on the new update, it caused the Wifi to stop working. For that reason, I tried to restore my old TWRP backup I made prior to updating which everything was working before updating. I wiped cache, dalvik, data and system and restored my old backup. Now when I try to boot, it gets stuck at the Razer logo and doesn't get past that. I also tried wiping data and restoring the system image only to no avail and it didn't do anything.
Have you tried booting to TWRP and booting The other [email protected]
How long did you wait on the Razer logo.. When I reset my phone after relocking it.. It took 10+min for first boot. I was scared it wasn't gonna work but I just left it alone and it eventually booted itself up

Thanks. I'll try that and see if it works. But I let it sit for 5 or so minutes.
Edit: I'll go ahead and add it was stuck at the Razer logo. It never got to the actual boot animation.
Edit 2: I let it sit for 20+ minutes and it wouldn't boot or get past the Razer logo.

Yes I've tried switching slots and it didn't work.
Any luck with the stuck at logo screen? I followed instructions from Razer and fkashall and now it won't boot to recovery download or system . It just hangs at the logo screen for better part of 2 hours now so it's not a waiting game .. any luck in fixing yours?
hi there, same here after flashing google pixel experience on razer phone1. seems to be a general problem for many users. Any hints?
Best regards

I have the same problem, but I wasn't updating or installed any new app. I was just ordering food from an app and then all of a sudden my phone restared and got stuck in a bootloop.
I reflashed the stock rom, over and over, slot a or slot b, hoping that would fix it somehow... it's just stuck there now. I could go into download mode and recovery mode. but, it's only until there.
now it's bootloop until it gets into download mode...

I could fix it. After flashing (even Android Pi) you have to do a factory reset.
IMPORTANT: THE FACTORY RESET IN TWRP DOES NOT WORK. So you have to flash the boot-sector in your system partition with the stock boot.img and reset to STOCK RECOVERY by typing "fastboot reboot" and pressing the vol-up button. Once in stock recovery, do a factory reset and return to bootloader. Now you can flash the boot.partition with twrp boot.img, install in recovery the stock boot.img, install the twrp-installer.zip and reboot to system. The bootlogo will not stuck anymore.
I hope, I could help you. Do not forget to backup before trying.

sry for my bad english
My mother said her phone died on her and wouldn't turn back on (nexus 5x).
I got it to turn on, but it would get to the 4 dots and then freeze up. Booted into twrp, and the same thing, it would work for a while and then freeze. I tried formatting the partition, but once I typed "yes" it would then freeze a few seconds in and then reboot.
I put it in fastboot, formatted the partition, flashed the newest version of twrp, updated the vendor image, radio, and bootloader and was planning on just updating to lineage 15.1. For a while I couldnt even boot into recovery. I would select recovery, and the google logo would pop up and then I would just get a black screen. When I typed adb devices I got nothing back either.
I finally was able to boot into twrp, but same thing as before, it would work for a while and then freeze up.
I know these phones have a history for this ****, but I guess I thought I was lucky with this one.
Anything I can try before giving up?
My plan was to do as much as I could in fastboot because it seems everything is fine there. I need to completely wipe everything and get a fresh start. Is there an image I can flash in fastboot?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Same here ... :/

/EDIT:
Alright, the thread can be closed. I somehow managed it.
In case someone faces the same issue, I used twrp to dd the sdf files back on the phone which stopped the reboots. After that, just wiped and formatted everything again and reinstalled the ROM.
Hello guys,
I hope you can help me with this issue since I've tried everything I know to fix this problem.
The plan:
Unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP and xiaomi.eu ROM on a new device.
Changing its IMEI with QPTS/QFIL afterwards.
What happened:
Unlocked successfully. Installed TWRP, xiaomi.eu ROM and Magisk.
After pulling the QCN backup and editing the file I pushed it back to the phone what seemed to work.
After rebooting, I noticed that the phone rebooted 5 seconds after showing me the "Enter PIN" screen.
Booted up again and the same thing happened.
I booted into TWRP, wiped and formatted "data", installed the ROM again. The phone started up normally and there was no reboot.
I went back to TWRP and flashed Magisk, the phone crashed again and everytime I boot it up, it immediately reboots after some seconds. Installing Magisk somehow triggers the phone to reboot on its own.
I thought to start over, flashed everything from stock using Mi Flash Tool and the newest China Rom.
After starting up the phone, the issue still exists. This time with this rom there is no difference between installing Magisk or not, the phone always reboots after showing up the miui welcome/setup screen.
Current situation:
The phone boots up Android, reboots after some seconds and goes into fastboot automatically. After the fastboot timeout it again reboots automatically, goes into the OS and crashes again and on and on.
No matter what I do, I can't keep the phone from rebooting.
And since I can't flash Magisk, I have no root.
This means that I can not use root to put the phone into diag mode to restore the original qcn file.
I have backups of the EFS partition and also sdf7/8/9/10 files. I just don't know how to restore them given the current situation.
Thank you very much in advance for your support!
Cheers
I recently decided to to root my SM-t110 so that I could upgrade to LineageOS, but after I had gotten TWRP working it offered to install SuperSu so that it could be rooted, so I rebooted SuperSu was installed and then I had to reboot and now I'm completely stuck in TWRP. I can't even boot into safe mode, download mode, or anything except TWRP.
I had also had backed up everything and then tried to restore from that, but even that didn't work. Any help would be very much appreciated!
I Have fixed the problem, I'll come back and post how I fixed it in a couple of days.
Never mind, it appears I'm stuck in a bootloop again, except this time it's far worse because it's stuck on the launch screen of TWRP 2.7.0.1 and then artifacts into a back bar at the top half and then two purplized TWRP boot images next to each other on the bottom half.
Also, last time I fixed it by flashing TWRP again, except through TWRP itself instead of Odin (I put the TWRP file on the sd card).
Any help with the new issue would be helpful and appreciated though.
