Screenlock invisible after upgrading to lollipop

Hello
I tried updating using Sony PC Companion application after it had finished, i turned it on and waited for the upgrading processes it took a long time and my phone's back became hot *really hot* then after it had finished upgrading it stuck with a blank screen and didn't take me to the home screen i can go to the camera if i pressed the capturing button , i can turn it off/restart it take screenshots or record the screen but i cannot go to the home screen and access other applications i can't even go to settings or notifications all i can see is the notifications and the back button i can't click at notifications and i cannot enter a pattern/password this so hopeless
sometimes it shows me the message * InitialBootSetup isn't responding * but even though nothing changes it stays at the same way
infos you might need
My phone is not rooted , it doesn't have a sim card/sd card, usb debugging is disabled and it was locked with pattern lock before upgrading
i tried using android device manager changed the password but still no big changes just got the ability to access emergency calls
the worse thing is that i didn't back it up before upgrading :crying:

Hello?

I thought I was alone.
This happened to me when I upgraded my Z1C to Lollipop too. All I did was:
1 Turn the phone off.
2 Connect it to the computer.
3 Open Sony PC Companion
4 Go to Support Zone (That's the first tiled option in PC companion).
5 Select Phone/Tablet Software Update.
It will go through the same process it went through at the initial stages of the update process. When it asks you to unplug the phone, go right ahead and you're good from there.

May flashing System (Lollipop) again will fix that!?

I wasn't able to re-update it because it requires me to unlock the phone
and i couldn't do so because i wasn't able to see the pattern lock to unlock it
sadly i had to repair my phone through the repair option in Sony PC Companion app
this resulted in overwriting everything and losing my data ..

I'm having the same problem (new, un-rooted phone) but any time I try to repair my phone using PC Companion I get an error message about a failure in sony update engine (error number 302). tried 3 different computers and running as an administrator with w7 or xp compatibility mode but i got the same error every time.
what can I do?
EDIT:
flashing a new firmware using flashtool solved the problem.

[HELP] "Android system has sttoped working" loop 2 seconds, unable to use screen.

[HELP] "Android system has sttoped working" loop 2 seconds, unable to use screen.
Hello,
Lg g3 (Telefónica / Movistar branded Spanish carrier)
Bought in Jul 2014.
Weeks having reset problems, one day, on a reset, got the msg "Android system stopped working", close, 2 seconds, again same msg, I can't use ths screen to avoid it, just to close the msg window, neither to browse options in those 2 seconds in each loop. I can only use the turn on/off buton, so, when I reset, same stuff again..
I tried to use Recovery Mode (vol-) and I just get the option to restore and WIPE ALL INFO (even files, pics, etc..)... no more options
Tried Lg Suite + Download mode (I can enter in download mode) but the software don't recognice the device.... using original cable,
I need the stuff inside, don't care about the phone thou, will get a new one, but I really need the info inside (no SD, the info inside the internal storage).
Any help?

If you turn off the device, hold down power and volume down. Release them when the lg logo shows then immediately press them again you should get to a factory reset screen. Try performing a factory reset, this will not wipe your files, just all apps and app data

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
that was my first hint, but, as you can see ( imgur.com/ d31OXJi) that menu option says "Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings?"..
I do belive this is warning me about wipe all my data including pics, videos, contacts, etc...
Are you 100% sure that wthis will not wipe the entire information?¿
Thanks...

BUMP!
Can anyone help me or confirm us if I do the vol down restart to factory will wipe my pics away??
Thanks...

Really? Noone ever have restored the phone using this option on a g3 to know if the pics will be deleted or not? amazing...

OnePlus 3 not starting anymore

Hi,
I'm running a current Stock-ROM on my OP3, as provided by OnePlus OTA, never flashed something else. Just using the phone out of the box.
Yesterday, I deleted some cache data to free some space on my 99% filled up phone. Then I opened the gallery but not all thumbnails appeared and then it stucked completely. I holded the power button and it switched off. Now when turning the phone on a message appeared saying:
"The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode"
After a few seconds it changes to the 3 animated points and this never ends. All I can do is switching it off, starting recovery mode or fast mode again with the same behaviour. I tried to connect it with my PC (W10) but it is not showing up.
How can I fix this problem without loosing my data especially my pictures and personal folders. How can I backup my data? I can still see them in recovery mode but how to access them and copy them? I could live with resetting the phone losing all settings and apps, but not my files.
What is your suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I just tapped on "Reset system setting", lost all apps and settings but it starts again and all my files are still there. Problem solved.

Question S22 Ultra reboots when I enter the passcode. One UI 5.0 Beta

Model: SM-S908U1 Unlocked
Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)

Motorola One Action auto update failed now stuck on "Just a sec..."

Hi,
My Motorola One Action is original (so no custom firmware or rooted) and every now and then i receive auto updates. Recently the phone was upgraded to Android 11. Fine.
Last weekend there was an update and in the morning the phone was stuck on Android bootloader with the question "format" or "retry" (cannot remember exactly, but it was 2 questions) and i chose "retry". The device rebooted; android logo showed up and then the google/android assistant showed up with the notification "Hello" and a lanuage selector.
I choose NL or EN and then a white screen with "Just a sec..." appears and this screen will stay there forever. I put the phone on charger and waited 30 hours, still the same.
What i tried:
- reboot;
- press & hold power button long time; reboot;
- turn off and then volume Down + Power key bootloader. There isnt much i can do here;
- from screen above; go to fastboot mode (volume Up + power) but unfortunately there is no whipe cache option; only whipe data / factory reset.
FYI: there are still a lot of photo's on the device; i dont want a factory reset and/or whipe data.
I put device in bootloader mode again, connect with usb and installed "Rescue and Smart Assistant". The device recognized, IMEI is found and more stuff. In this Windows app i can download the correct firmware; i store it in c:/motorola/firware. The file is troika_reteu_rsbs31.q1-48-36-23-2_subsidy-default_regulatory-default_cfc.xml.zip
The the "Start Rescue" button is shown; but the message "Flashing removes all data from device".
I dont want that so i followed this guide:
The conversion went OK and executed the file generated (.bat), immediately a upload process starts; this takes about 5-6 minutes. After that; a device reboot and still... the same result.
Any tips or advice would be very helpful (i hope).

I found this; looks promising

But unfortunately the image browser does not respond.

I have contacted Motorola / Lenovo using their forum. In short their answer is that for almost sure the only way is to completely reset the device that means whiping data.
Is there absolutely no way to access the data partition?

I used ADB to flash a newer and older version of android.
Both version gave a error message directly when phone powered on.
Then i re-installed the current version of android; phone worked again. Unfortunately all data lost.
