Hey guys,
The tablet wouldn't recognise my pin. It happened once before but a simple reboot fixed it. This time nothing I tried worked (switched accounts, restart, wiping cache partition). So after a lot of consideration I decided to go to Recovery and do a factory reset. After it finished, it automatically restarted and since then it's in a bootloop.
All the instructions I've read about factory reset say you need to manually reboot after it's finished whereas mine rebooted by itself. Do you think that's why it's stuck now? What can I do?

So, i bootlooped my device somehow, and now I'm trying to factory reset the damn thing. problem is, I go to the recovery screen, where I can choose safe mode, clear cache, and factory reset. I click factory reset, and the little android alien pops up for 1-2 seconds, and then it goes black and the phone restarts. In other words, its not letting me factory reset for some reason.
Please help asap!!

wtf? I never installed a custom ROM or anything. just a custom boot animation and a build.prop edit, and one of those two things boot looped my rig. when i try to factory reset via the hardware buttons, it restarts after 1 second of trying and goes back into the bootloop. i try ever different setting on the recovery screen, and they all have the same result (either safe mode, or delete cache)
how else can i factory reset so i can get my phone back'??
So I am keen on how to fix bootloops and going back to stock/rooting, etc...
My friend asked me if I could fix his phone for him, so I said why not. Thing is, it's the weirdest problem I ever faced with a phone, EVER.
The problem is the phone boots normally, I unlock the pattern, some seconds later it turns off and reboots. So I said hey why not boot into safe mode, perhaps it's an app causing all of this, so I did, worked perfectly, turns out "Google Play Services" was "forcing close" and suddenly phone turns off. I uninstalled all updates, cleared data, cache, everything and installed EVERY SINGLE APP on the phone and removed pattern, then rebooted phone. BUT, when i rebooted, the pattern was back, language was back to arabic (I changed it to english when in safe mode), ALL APPS were back, and the updates to Google Play Services were back. It's like I didn't do anything. So I said before it turns off I'm goin to try 1 thing, so I immediately went into settings and managed to uninstall updates for Google Play Services and cleared cache data, even to all google apps, and then I re-uninstalled all applications (out of safe mode), I thought perhaps when irebooted from safe mode, everything was back, now that I'm goin to reboot out of safe mode, this will work. So I rebooted, and guess what? EVERY SINGLE APP was back, system language back to arabic, AGAIN, and pattern was back and GPServices updates were back.
So I said hey, let's factory reset. SO I went into safe mode, I hit factory reset, phone reboots to recovery (vol up + power ) > Factory reset done > wipe cache partition done > reboot : EVERYTHING WAS THE SAME. I am completely shocked. I tried doing Factory reset out of safe mode too, same result. So I said hey, let's unlock this thing and just flash a stock rom, that'll fix it indeed. I went into fastboot and tried flashing the unlock token, the confirmation page appeared, clicked "YES", phone reboots: PATTERN AND EVERYTHING STILL THERE, while they shouldn't be since unlock performs a Factory reset, so I went back to fastboot and it indeed was NOT unlocked, I tried many times and it failed every single time I tried.
So I said hey, download AVG Antiviirus and run it perhaps it can find the problem, so I did and ran it, couldn't find anything, rebooted phone and AVG was gone. So I said, hey, again, download Google Play Services and install it on your phone, perhaps it will permanently override the one existing and it will fix the problem (it didn't, it would disappear and the old G.P.S reappear as soon as I reboot). So I said hey, you got the OTA Zip, it has the firmware, perhaps flashing that firmware will shake things up, most probably brick the phone but perhaps will let me unlock it. So I went into fastboot > fastboot oem RebootRUU > phone reboots normally, I CAN'T even access RebootRUU.
So as you can see I probably tried everything one can do in this situation.
A few weeks ago, my phone rebooted and it was stuck rebooting to the att logo. I was on the road and was unable to use my phone. In frustration I tried to do a factory reset from the recovery mode.
It wiped system as its supposed to, but I was still stuck booting up to the logo screen and freezing there.
How to factory reset completely : Warning! You will lose all apps and data on phone as if you were reflashing with odin.
Boot into recovery mode (volume up + home button +power) select apply update from adb. Once started, just put your phone down and wait. It will take a little while. Then it will time out and completely wipe and restore your phone to factory.
Proceed to setup your phone as new.
Guys,
Need a little help:
My OP3 worked fine for over a month (with 3.2.2, Rooted and with latest TWRP only) and then suddenly went unresponsive i.e., screen frozen. When I restarted the device, it stuck on boot animation. I tried to restored a week old nandroid backup and it stuck at restoring system partition and then... ERROR 7. I tried the factory reset and got the same result... ERROR 7. I tried flashing the from the scratch as well as formatting all partition, still no luck and ERROR 7 persisted.
I switched to OP3 recovery and wiped data and cache and the wiping worked but... when i tried to push the rom, it didn't work and it was stuck. i flashed twrp again and tried sideload, still no luck, it got stuck at 4%. I did a wipe again and tried to restore the old backup and the restore simply got stuck (no error - i waited for 30 mins).
So, my question is two part (before i send the device back to OnePlus): any idea what is going on and how can i fix it? and is there any other way i can try to do an absolutely clean install of rom and try if that works?
Thanks,
Answering my own question: device sent to OnePlus and the issue was identified as faulty motherboard.
I recently bought a new device and decided to give my HTC U11 EYES to my sister-in-law. So I did a factory reset through the recovery mode (rather than through the Android settings). Now the phone refuses to proceed through initial setup. I can get to the Welcome screen where I choose the language, then it asks me to connect to a WiFi network (which it does successfully, and I have to do so otherwise the "Next" button is grayed out), then it goes to a screen that says "Checking for updates, this may take a minute or two" and it just sits there forever. It never progresses beyond that. There's no "Skip" option anywhere, there's no EULA to agree to, and the WiFi icon shows all kinds of constant activity. But the setup never progresses beyond that update screen. I tried leaving it on overnight, it's been 10 hours. Still nothing. I tried doing another factory reset, same result.
I've owned two of these devices and never had an issue doing initial setup before, but I've never done a factory reset on either of them before. Normally a factory reset is supposed to SOLVE problems, not cause them. I have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. I've been unable to find an original RUU that successfully flashes to the device.
try to wipe the cashe
Go again to download mode by pressing power and volume down together, then check for wipe Cashe drive
And you can try again factory rest later after restart
