Yesterday I updated my Nexus 5x Lineage OS. As sometimes happens, the first reboot went through TWRP doing nothing. After rebooting into the system and launching the update installation again, this time TWRP applied the update (it went through the usual storage decryption and applying the system image). When LineageOS booted up, after entering the PIN, it stayed for one hour displaying the lineage OS boot animation, time after which I rebooted the phone.
Since then: when I start the phone it just goes to the "google" display, then to the LineageOS boot animation, and then reboots... indefinitely. Is there anything I can do to recover use of my phone?
Thank you everybody :-/

Installed most recent CM10 nightly this morning and thought it would be a good idea to encrypt it. So, I went into settings>security>encrypt, and encrypted the phone. After rebooting, the phone would prompt for the password. After entering the password, the phone would bring me to the lock screen, I swipe in and a few moments later, I'd be greeted with the Cyanogenmod boot animation. After that, it would boot loop either at the animation, or I would get the lock screen again and, again, moments later, it would bring me back to the boot animation.
SO.
I decided to Odin back to stock. Everything went well and passed and was all ice cream and rainbows, I got the Sprint boot animation. But then, OHH then. Then I get the prompt to enter my password to decrypt again, so I enter it, get the green android gear encryption symbol, and it reboots. After getting the Sprint boot animation again, I am currently stuck at the Samsung animation bit right after that. It's been at that logo/animation for about 10 minutes now. So, I'm worried. Is there any other way to decrypt? I'm freaking out man. Please help.
Edit: Solved- After flashing back to stock in Odin, I went to stock recovery and wiped data and cache. Booted up allz normal now.
Hi!
I'm moving my first steps into Android modding: I've succesfully installed Cyanogenmod on my Xperia U and then started to play with my Xperia S. That's what I did on the S:
- unlocked bootloader (with Sony official procedure)
- copied ROMs into phone
- flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 using flashtool (fastboot mode)
- started phone in recovery, wiped, installed ROM/Gapps, reboot.
All seems to work fine: the phone boots correctly, system configuration and all, except that when I reboot it, on the next start it stucks on boot on Sony logo.
The phone is recognized by flashtool and I can still enter recovery, so I can't say it's bricked, but it doesn't start the OS!
I've tried different ROMs, Android 4.4.4. and 5.0.2, but the result is the same: all working fine until the phone is rebooted, then stuck. Sometimes it happens just after installing the ROM, other times later, after installing other apps (it always happens if I try to recovery app backups with Titanium backup, for example).
Can it be a TWRP problem?
Any ideas or help will be high apreciated! :fingers-crossed:

After flashing ROM, the phone will seem to be stuck at Boot Animation for 10-15 minutes. It is not stuck and normal. Let it boot, it will come to home screen eventually. During second boot, it will seem to be stuck at Sony logo, but this is too normal. It will take approx 10 minutes here too.

Wow. Thank you Mirhawk! I knew about long boot animation at first boot, but never heard about the second (or later) one "stuck" at Sony logo! Waited 10 minutes and then the phone wake up! :good:
Thank you again.
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.
Hello there
After my phone randomly rebooted while watching a video it ran into a bootloop.
I had been running LineageOS for the past couple of months and everything was fine up until yesterday.
I have tried restarting, and everything and only managed to reflash twrp via adb and force it to boot into twrp, but now it's stuck booting into that.
when I try to boot into lineage I only see the boot animation of lineage that never stops, and when I boot into twrp I see the boot screen of that, which never stops.
I've let the phone do its thing for so long that it has run out of power, so it's not something that just takes a long time. I feel like this thing is completely bricked now.
Anyone maybe got a solution? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
Think I might have the same issue, except I didn't flash or modify anything on the phone. I'm running all stock ROM and all the rest.
Stuck in a bootloop in recovery mode. Mini partition does not recognise the phone. Same with QPST. QComDloader does, but only for a few seconds, so whatever I try it's not fast enough before the next reboot...
Whats are the options? I don't want to have to send it back to China
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 ... :/
