You've probably seen this problem before, a boot loop so that when you turn the phone on, it loops in the Google start screen. So, I did not have USB debugging enabled, but I still have an idea that might work. It might be crazy, but I would plan to COMPLETELY wipe the phone. Not just factory reset it, but wipe it completely of all traces of the old Android software, and then install a new bootloader and then ROM. The problem is, I can't find this anywhere. Ideas?

Problem is you still won't have debugging set to OK even custom Roms you still have to check debugging and most likely you have a hardware issue not software unfortunately
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

What's that? Is it the screen that comes up when you hold down Power+VolumeDown and gives you the option to select Start, Power Off, Restart Bootloader, or Recovery?

Yes that's the one. If u can get back to that screen you should be able to flash it back stock and re root the phone with out any problems

So are you saying that I should factory reset my phone from the recovery menu, or do I have to use the method that requires the factory image?
My phone wasn't rooted btw, so I can't re-root it.

Rooted or not, do you think factory resetting it will fix the problem as long as I can get to the bootloader menu?

In pretty positive that it will, make sure u unlock the Bootloader first before you do anything. Do you know how to unlock it?

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

Wait...what?? So if I choose to factory reset my phone now without unlocking the bootloader, it might become completely useless? Is rooting necessary?

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.

Alright, but since all my data won't be recovered, is there a way to get access to files on my phone before I factory reset it?

Sorry bro but I wish there was.... There actually is away, but you would have have to have been rooted with a custom recovery on your phone and since you had neither, there's my other way
Edit: I meant no other way

Hi there
I need some help please....?
I have a Moto XT1675 mobile phone.
The issue is that when i start the phone up its asking for a password. I dont have the password and I am not sure what I can do to reset the whole phone so that i can use it again.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue ????
Thank you
Boot to recovery and do a factory reset. Unless u have a SIM lock password; that should do the needful. If it's a sum lock remove the SIM and try

Hey guys I've been on the XDA forums for a while to use XDA Labs, as well as get kernels and rom's for my Pixel 2 XL
I decided to factory reset to bring my phone back to a complete stock feel and now it won't go past the G logo with the loading grey bar.
I had Magisk and Kirisukura kernel installed. But prior to factory resetting I
1. Uninstalled Magisk, through TWRP and the magisk uninstaller.
2. Reflashed stock boot img to bring it back to an essentially stock phone with no modifications whatsoever.
The only thing that I'm thinking might have caused this is that I factory reset via the phone settings as opposed to clean flashing a factory image via ADB but I didn't think that mattered?
Regardless, no matter how long I leave the phone it doesn't go past the G Logo with the grey loading bar (Note: the bar does move and isn't frozen).
I've tried booting in recovery mode and wiping/factory resetting from there but regardless of what I do it doesn't seem to allow the phone to boot up.
Any help would do I really love this phone and it would break my heart knowing I've hard bricked it, the bootloader is unlocked as well but I don't think ADB works because I haven't been able to boot into the phone to allow USB debugging which is frustrating.
Thanks in advance for any help/replies

Is OEM unlocking turned on in developer options?
If so, have you tried fastbooting the factory image?
Did you try a few hard restarts with the power button?

Did a few hard restarts with the power button and and then tried flashing a factory image and it worked. Phone is up and running and working well thank you very much! How do I let a mod know to close this thread now that it is solved?

The mods will see your post, and then decide if they want to close it or not. However, you'll likely not be the last user that this will happen to, so, they may very well leave it open for future reference
Hello @MrPariah,
We can absolutely leave the thread open since other member could use it for future questions / help.
If you have time, I suggest you to edit the thread title by adding [SOLVED] and you can even edit the 1st post yourself with the correct procedure to fix the initial issue ("...won't go past the G logo with the loading grey bar."). It may help other members with the same issue.
But if you still want to close the thread, you can send me a private message and I will do it.
Please let me know

In case you need to request a thread closure (or XDA rule violations), you have to use the report button (using a web browser), any moderator available will handle it.

Hi all;
I writing to ask if I can get support from you in order to recover data from my phone. This is the situation I have a Xiaomi 10T 5G device that 4 days ago suddenly reboot and get stuck on MI logo screen. I have try entering in Recovery mode and test Reboot, Safe Mode and Repair Mode with no luck. I have try also to connect it to MIPC suit but the phone get not detected, only if I put it in fastboot mode I got a message from PC suite telling that I should change to Normal mode and reconnect.
I have installed ADB drivers and my usb drivers of my device.
The issue and before sending it back for reparation I want to backup the photos, all the other data is not relevant. The phone is with the fabric ROM. Is there any way that I can recover the data??
Thanks in advance for your support.
locked bootloader? unlocked?

I assume is blocked as nothing g has been done to it since the purchase.
That happened to me twice. I was pushing it to recovery, fastboot, safemode for over and hour untill it turned on. It was after update last spring. Never happened again. I cant remember what happened (i know i realized it than, but i was on a business trip and pissed, just remember that prior to that it was a problem with unlocking it/power button/sensor, maybe not the same thing as you have, since it was looping),i think it was some bug
Hi thanks for the reply but I assume is not the same case as I have try to fastboot, safe mode and repair mode a lot of times and nothing happened.
Hope to find a way to get the data from the device.

it may be stuck in some kind of recovery loop because it crashed and think it couldn't boot. like windows does.
try turn it completely off then start it.
I'm sorry if you did not unlock before hand, there is nothing you can do.
flashing rom requires unlocked bootloader. running TWRP requires unlocked bootloader.
flashing stock rom/ recovery rom from SD will I think wipe your data
unlock bootloader will wipe your data.
if you can't get it to boot you are SoL for the data friend :/
Thanks Sir. Seen that there is no option I have wipe all the data and the phone has come back again to normal operation. Now I will try to root to use some data recovery tool to see what I can get. Any recomendations??
