Hello,
Just Installed Android 11 Beta 3, now I am in a boot loop.
I can force the phone into the bootloader (Power + Volume Down) But it will stay there for about ~10 seconds and proceed on its own to the boot loop again. Thus I don't even get enough time to get ADB/Fastboot commands working over USB. I'm kinda thinking this one is dead now, but it steams it it was killed by a software update.
I had been running Android 11 Beta 2 without much issue, today I did the OTA update (By going into settings and clicking update) to get Android 11 Beta 3. The phone installed Android 11 Beta 3 without issue, and was running fine for several hours. I went to use the phone, and the power button would not turn the screen off with a power button click, 30 seconds later of it being frozen, on its own (I did not press and hold anything) It went into a G logo boot loop.
I stuck it in the fridge (Very Hot stuck in boot loop), to no avail, it kept in the boot loop until the battery was dead (It was just a flickering red battery symbol on its own) I plugged it back in, Immediately into boot loop it went...
Thanks,
~
The partitions might be messed up. Did you have any important data on that phone? And was the bootloader unlocked?

Hi all,
My phone is rooted (still S-ON)(TWRP installed) and running viper's ROM. Last night I forgot to charge the phone when I got home, when I looked it was 1% and shut off. I plugged in the phone and foolishly tried to reboot right away instead of waiting a good ten minutes. Well the phone never got out of the HTC logo screen. I would hold down the power and it would vibrate twice, no clue what that mean't. Anyways I waited for at least 10 minutes to give the battery a chance to chare and see if it rebooted but it didn't. Finally I was able to get into recovery doing the following. Hold down the volume up and power button till the phone reboots (screen will be black) Then quickly hold volume down and power until you see the HTC logo on the black background. Then you should have the options to boot into recovery and into twrp. I had to do a data wipe as something in the OS got hosed. I lost all apps and SMS but at least I was able to boot back into the phone. Hope that helps some out there.
I have encountered this same issue on 2 phones but couldn't recover either without reflashing a stock firmware.
Hi,
a few hours ago I dropped my G4 H815. The back fell off and the battery got out. I put the Battery back in and after a few tries I could load the device. However, I just can`t start the phone now. When I press the power Boutton, nothing happens.
When plugging in the microUSB-Cable the screen turns on and I sometimes see the screen with the LG Logo, but no matter how often I try, it does not boot into recovery (the volume down key was always a bit tricky though). It just goes on to the Screen saying your battery is loading and it´s at 100%.
I can reach Download-Mode, but I do not see any way to force a reboot from there.
My Bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted. Im running TWRP and LineageOS 14.

Well it sounds like the infamous Bootloop at least the symptoms are the same. The Bootloop issue is not caused by dropping the phone but while booting Android as this is a very CPU intensive process.
Ilapo or not I would take a backup with SALT before anything else.
You can also boot to fastboot and assuming you haven't installed the nougat v29 bootloader stack you can just boot TWRP temporary by using
fastboot boot twrp.img
(where twrp.img should be my latest TWRP version preview 144 or higher)
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
No Bootloop. It seems like the power Button is broken. Using SALT I could reboot the phone and it starts and works normal. The knok-on feature makes this situation, at least temporally, bearable.
I will probably try to fix the Button.
Hey guys,
I started having this issue randomly start occurring a few hours ago and so basically the phone keeps boot looping. This is not a normal boot loop as I can get into fastboot but it still keeps restarting once I'm in it; as if the power button is stuck. I have tried to power down the phone but couldn't so I just let it drain itself over night. I have tried to charge it and I have noticed that the charging icon is in a sort of loop where it tries to turn on then goes to the warning page of an unlocked bootloader and then boot loops. I have no idea what caused this and I can't follow any of these other solutions as I can't stay in fastboot long enough to use adb.
Edit 1:
Just tried to quickly flash the stock bootloader while simultaneously holding power+down to stay in fastboot but still boot loops. I cannot even toggle through the settings of the fastboot mode and the screen just keeps 'refreshing' every half a second so I can't really do much.
Edit 2:
It has just fixed itself overnight and I am able to boot normally after flashing the magisk_patched boot.img
OS: Android 10 stock
Rooted: Magisk latest
Custom Kernel: ElementalX
So I updated to Android 11 on Tuesday, and all seemed fine. Last night my phone was trying to install an app, and seemed to freeze.
After a few minutes, I forced it to shut-down (power + vol down) and it started to reboot. It got to the G logo with the small bottom bar animation for a number of minutes and eventually kicked back into Recovery mode.
I decided to try rebooting, and it started to reboot, got to the Google logo (the full word, not the "G"), and then kicked back into rebooting.
The phone now constantly reboots and even if I get into fastboot mode, it only stays in fastboot until I hit a key (vol up/down or power) and it then reboots into constant bootloops described above.
If I don't push a button on fastboot mode, it will just start booting anyways after about 3-5 seconds.
Does anybody know of what I could do? Not sure if replacing the battery would help (e.g. a power issue) or if it may be a corruption of the flash memory and that the system and underlying partitions are corrupt leading to nothing I could do to repair the phone.
I have really enjoyed this phone, but I am afraid that this phone is all-but-dead and unusable.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
You can try flashing the stock rom from recovery or from fastboot.
Had something similar on an og Pixel... Turned out to be a broken power switch.
I had a weird issue last week. Phone would freeze after a couple of minutes and would reboot. It would also boot loop while connected for charging (wireless and corded.). The battery would not charge. I would shut down the phone and when I plugged in the charger, it would boot loop. The battery finally discharged to 0% and shut off. I plugged the charger in and it remained off. I let it charge to 100% and it's been working for the past week without issue. I'm not sure what happened.
I would suggest letting the battery drain to 0% and go from there. HTH
I updated my 3XL to Android 11 two days ago and since then I have caught it rebooting at seemingly random times, though only when it is on the wireless charger. I guess it's back to Android 10 for now. Hopefully reverting a Pixel is as easy as it was on the Nexus. Thanks Google.

Are you familiar with how to use commands in platform-tools to flash stock images? How did you upgrade? OTA? Are you rooted? Is it unlocked or Verizon variant? If unlocked, do you know how to unlock the bootloader?

I am proficient in using the bootloader. Phone has been bootloader unlocked since day one.
I upgraded to Android 11 with ota and all was good for a day (rooted with Magisk canary). Then the phone started acting up, first not booting system and then bootlooping.
I can get into the bootloader (fastboot) but only for maximum 3-5 seconds before the phone reboots, or if I hit any button (vol up/down) the phone reboots. Also, if connected to my computer the USB does not recognize fastboot anymore (before it reboots anyways)
I think it's dead, Jim.

To begin with, the device was rooted with Magisk 18.1 flashed about 2 years ago, running stock OxygenOS Oreo 8.1. Recovery: TWRP-3.2.1-1-cheeseburger. Kernel: RenderZenith OP5T [OOS-O-EAS-V3.7.0]. This was the setup I was satisfied with and running in about a year (a total of 2 years).
However, after the first year, I've tried to update TWRP to version 3.3.1-20190908-0-codeworkx-signed-forcedecrypt-dumpling in order to flash and update to the newer OxygenOS Pie 9.0. Something went wrong after flashing the newer TWRP and I couldn't get into recovery anymore... all I saw was a black screen when trying to get into it. I haven't bothered about this since the system booted and worked fine, so I gave up on the 9.0 update and stayed on 8.1. I was able to use it like normal another year. Everything was running very smoothly until a couple of days ago...
The battery has discharged to 0% and the device shut off by itself. 30 seconds before the shutdown, the UI was much less responsive and a popup about the device turning off popped up. I've put it in charge the whole night and when I woke up in the morning... couldn't boot into the system anymore. Instead, the phone booted into the 'broken' recovery, with constant lit of light blue LED (started to lit a couple of seconds after booting, only in the 'non-visible' recovery), and a black screen. I've looked up the fastboot/bootloader keys combination and went into it, well from there, I've tried the turn-off, start, recovery, and bootloader option. Turn off = Off. Start = Recovery. Recovery = Recovery. Bootloader = Bootloader.
The next step I've done was to connect it through a PC and run ADB on it in order to flash the old TWRP-3.2.1-1-cheeseburger. Re-booted into recovery straight after successfully flash and the recovery started to work again. The light blue LED stopped to lit any longer and I haven't seen it anymore. The first thing I've done in recovery was to clear the cache, dalvik, and do a nandroid backup, then tried to re-boot into the system. Finally, it booted into the system and I was happy like a kid when I saw the OnePlus boot animation again, however after putting my password and SIM pin code, I can enjoy it without any issue for about 30-40 seconds before the UI suddenly starts to be non-response (touch doesn't work), the screen starts to flash, sometimes (looks more like turning the screen on and off), until I see a "Turning off..." popup 20-30 seconds later (the battery is fully charged and disconnected from the power source) and the device is rebooting itself into the 'working' recovery. This is how it works each time I boot up into the system now. However, the power button is working and I can turn the screen off and on while the screen/touch isn't responding, the power menu can be opened by holding it (before it's too late and the "Turning off..." popup appears), from there I can choose to re-boot or power off. Magically the touch is working here. If the phone has been rebooted/turned off manually, by hitting either reboot or power off in the power menu, it reboots into the system instead and the same **** happens - not to recovery like it does when the "Turning off..." popup appears and it's turning off by the system.
I'd like to get everything back if possible, at least for one or two days, to back up all data, do some screenshots, back up browser bookmarks, history, open tabs, sms and calls, then give a fresh custom 11 to it.
Any help I can get from you guys? Is there a solution that I could try? What about flashing the newest Magisk onto it? Might it help or rather corrupt it more? Anything else? I'm out of knowledge in this situation and I'm relying on you.
