Hello,
This past Monday my phone decided to BSOD and then start trying to boot again but got stuck in boot loop. I have tried using all the button combinations to get it into the boot menu with no success. I have however been able to access the Download boot sequence but for some reason cannot unroot or successfully flash the phone. My phone is paid off and barely 3-4 weeks out of warranty and both Samsung and T-mobile say I'm **** out of luck. I am making one last ditch effort to get this new paper weight working again and was seeking any possible ideas to help. The phone did do an update from T-mobile security update that went out ~2/4 and died while in the middle of a text message on 2/6.

Hello all,
My phone randomly got stuck in a boot loop (crashing after the black and white galaxy s3 splash screen) last night and is now on its last leg. I'm on stock ATT firmware; I had messed around with rooting a few months back but restored.
Now the phone will crash before entering recovery mode. I can get into Download mode and connect the phone to ODIN, but it will crash before it can begin rewriting the firmware. The phone just won't stay on for longer than ~20 seconds (I've tried with two different batteries). All I can figure is that there is a hardware power issue, but do you all have any ideas? If not, I fear I'll have to buy a new phone.
PS: I initially believed the power button was stuck and opened the phone up to make sure that wasn't the case, it was fine.
I've had an M9 for 2-3. After the first year I got my phone, I installed a custom recovery and rooted it but later uninstalled root and custom recovery. It has been fine ever since except recently. Last month, my phone randomly crashed for the first time and got stuck in the infinite bootloop. It was as if everytime it tries to boot up, it crashed during it. If I hit the power, vol up, and vol down button, I make it to the screen with the option to go into recovery, download, etc. But when I actually try to go into either bootloader, recovery, or download mode from that menu, it crashes and goes back to the white htc logo. I've have gotten the phone to bootup a couple times by leaving it in the freezer as it tries to boot up but after using it for 1-5 minutes, it crashes again. If I don't use the phone at all, then it usually wont crash. After a day or 2, the phone fixed itself. Then one morning, my notifications got stuck together and my screen became unresponsive. So I took my death sentence and restarted my phone and now my phone has been doing the same exact thing for a week. I don't know how to fix this problem because getting it crashes trying to go into recovery and trying to do a factory reset is risky since it could crash during the reset. If also manage to make it into safe mode thinking maybe an application or virus is causing this but the phone crashed in SAFE MODE so I don't know what the problem is. I doubt there is any saving this phone because is probably a hard ware problem but who knows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
Flash back to stock. Stock firmware fixes all sorts of issues.
Greetings!
My girlfriend's Nexus 5X recently got stuck into boot loop. What I tried to fix it:
- Completely discharging it and charging it again
- Get into recovery mode - after going to the bootloader and choosing recovery mode, the phone reboots to the google logo
- I tried reflashing system, boot and recovery with TWRP - still the phone reboots when trying to get into recovery mode
What else can I try, having in mind that I can't get into recovery or boot it at all? The bootloader is unlocked, so I can try flashing anything.
You could try the BLOD-fix boot/recovery images on other threads in this forum.
If the phone is still in warranty (and even if it's not), I'd suggest getting in touch with your local LG repair people.
My wife's Google Nexus 5x died yesterday too after updating. Go to load recovery mode, and it does nothing. I can get into developer boot screen, but that's it... Nothing works. Her bootloader is locked though, so no flashing anything. Any idea on how to contact Google about getting a replacement?

No point contacting google, you have to go to the manufacturer LG wherever they happen to be in your country. A simple replacement phone will only potentially have the same issue - its a hardware problem and the PCB/motherboard must be replaced. I had a brand new phone (well 'brand new' as bought in 2016 but only unboxed last Tuesday lol) which didn't last 6 hours before getting overly hot and going into bootloop...tried a factory reset and got into setup but it shutdown and bootlooped again halfway through. Fortunately it was within the 2 year warranty period, so LG authorised the replacement motherboard on Thursday (1 hour wait as a walk-in service) and it has been fine (and cool!) ever since.
As a bonus, they upgraded it from 6.0 to 7.1.2, which LG considers the "latest" stable version for the 5x.
Yesterday I was fooling around on the internet and my phone locked up. I gave it a minute or two to recover then held the power button and rebooted. It started back up let me unlock it, and then it locked up again. That's when it took a hard left turn and started to boot loop. I was able to get it into the recovery mode. I tried a ton of things i had done in the past with my poor Nexus 6P but with no luck. So instead I wiped it and side loaded the factory images. Before it went south the boot loader was not unlocked. Using the normal adb tools i was able to sideload the ota image and get it to boot into safe mode once long enough to complete the setup process and unlock the boot loader once. I was then able to flash both the full factory 8.1 and the 9.0 software but both suffered from the same issue. At some point during the initial setup process the phone would lock up and reboot, and start over.
So, any suggestions on other utilities I could use to try to get back up and running (I have a business trip on Thursday and I will 100% need a phone for it)? Of course since Google replaced my 6p with this one it only had a 90 day warranty so that option is out. Failing that I can get a replacement motherboard from ifixit delivered Tuesday and swap it all out. That should fix the issue right, I'm not missing it being some OTHER component causing it?
Hey. The same issue happened to me yesterday did you manage to do something? i managed to adb sideload the OTA updates but no luck it says it is complete, but it starts looping again.
Hey hey people. Been around this site for years since i had my htc mogul i believe. I searched for some help with the issue im having and came up empty. I have an lg g8 thinq and it took an update late sunday when i was asleep so i dont know when. It immediately was acting funky and by the end of day - up until this moment it has been boootlooping i even fac reset and it isnstill bootlooping-brought to att and their hands are tied talk to lg or assurion (boy they really are jelpful there.....) anyone out there experiencing this because its my primary phone qnd as i sit typing this im on my old s8 qctive that is beat to **** but pulled the sim from my g8 and stuck it in here. Anyway it will get past the lg logo and start bootlooping at the att circle/emblem-every time until the battery dies. Hopefully i didnt break amy rules again i havent been on in awhile but this really is beyond frustrating my whole life in that phone and idk last time i backed it up but its been awhile. THANK YOUA to ANYONE that can help point me in righht direction. Also i forgot to mention non rooted completely stock.
So you've already held power and volume down at the same time with the phone on?
I am too having the same problem. Mine is a T-Mobile LG G8, stock non rooted, got updated last week and then acted funny(some apps crashed), I restarted it won't reststart; Stucked on some LG-G8 screen. I hard reset it (Vol Down-Power/LG Screen, release and then hold power button; and then hard reset), After that: it stuck on boot loop.
What I can try next?

When my update came through on T-Mobile it got stuck at the Tmo splash screen. Pressed the power and volume down until it turned black and let go. It rebooted normally after.

Hi guys, am just a newbie here from Malaysia and a new owner of a 2nd hand LG G8 ThinQ (LM-G820UM); no idea where it's from but got it already with Android 10 update.
'twas working perfectly fine for a few days, but suddenyl got stuck in bootloop after I reboot (Power + Volume Down buttons) the phone when I was trying to change to a different SIM card. It would remain in bootloop until the battery is drained.
I can connect it to my laptop and seems to be detected pretty good and able to switch to Download Mode, but can't re-flash with either Flash Tool or LGUP.
- Have tried to use different Flash Tool versions - in version 2014, the flashing will just stop at server error, in 2016 and 2025 versions it will require LGST login (apparently to connect to some server which require registration).
- same goes true for LGUP, both versions 1.14 and 1.16 (patched version) will just stop at 4% then the apps will close without any error or anything happening in the phone.
Appreciate any help to recover this phone which I paid for a few hundred dollars as I was impressed with the spec and was so delighted to a very good spec phone; then this happened.
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat but with ATT. LM-G820UM I believe. Completely stock software. I just had it sitting on the charging dock for a while and I came back to it and it was stuck in a bootloop. No idea what's caused it, but I can't seem to get it to stop for anything. This is one of the many reasons I find not having a removable battery deeply upsetting :/
okay will try that as soon as i can get this thing to boot normal again it now stuck on the lg g8s screen think i flashed the wrong abl_a and abl_b files
Has there been any progress in getting this fixed?
Other than flashing the entire stock kdz not sure what else can be done...
