I need some help, I borrowed a friends phone today. It was rooted and it bricked on him once before. I managed to ODIN it back to stock about a month ago and everything was fine for awhile. Today I was in PE (very hot, in a humid room) and the phone shut off. I tried starting it again and it just gets stuck in a constant reboot loop. If I plug it in to try getting it into download mode, it starts download mode and reboots after about 5 seconds.
If I plug in the charger, same thing. It reboots after about 5 seconds, goes to the boot screen, then restarts. OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I opened it up, checked all the connections (thought a ribbon cable was loose and unhooked and rehooked it, didnt fix it.)
I've tried leaving the battery out for about an hour, I've let it run on the reboot loop for about 20mins. Nothing works, I cant even get it to stay in download mode to ODIN. Any ideas? My friend told me that it had random reboots occasionally, but never like this.
Could possibly be due to humidity so take off back, remove battery, wrap in tissue and then put in a bowl of uncooked rice, this acts like silica gel and will suck the moisture out, leave at least 24 hours in the rice, then retry.

So I dropped my phone in the toilet on Friday night. Bad, I know but it was clean unused water and only half of the phone went under and for less that a second, so I pull it out, turn it off, wiped it thoroughly with a clean cloth and try the old rice trick. When I tried to boot it back up, it was out of battery so, I plugged it in and it worked for a little bit but then turned itself off. Tried to go into recovery (not custom) and it scrolled itself down to reboot and kept repeating itself. I let the battery drain, put it in rice again and left it so overnight. Tried to boot it up and the same problem occurred. I was busy yesterday so I just popped the SIM into my mom's phone and took off so that I could deal with it later. I took it to T-mobile this morning and they're asking for $180 to fix it. I was wondering if there was something I could do myself to fix it.

yeah buy new one, hte phone only cost $99 new.
Hello everyone, I hope you could help me with this. Three days ago I accidently dropped my Moto G4 Plus in the toilet, It was immersed in the water for about 5 seconds and then I took it back. I noticed that the phone didn't turned off so I removed the back panel and dried all the water with a towel. The phone worked normally until the next day. I was watching a YouTube video when the screen got freezed for 3 seconds and then the phone rebooted for itself a couple of times until started normally again. I kept using the phone for some minutes but the screen got freezed again but this time the boot loop didn't stop. During the loop the motorola logo is displayed for about 20 seconds then the screen goes off for another 3 seconds and the motorola logo appears again.
I'm able to enter to the bootloader menu pressing the volume down button while the screen is off between the rebooting, that let me turn the phone off but when I turn it on again the boot loop continues. I already made a wipe data/cache using the recovery mode but didn't work. Also flashed the stock rom again via fastboot just to discard any software problems but the boot loop persists.
I found and old thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638916) of someone saying something about the flex power cable but I'm not 100% sure if that's my case and I don't wanna take the wrong decision. Any idea what my problem might be?

U need to remove battery, dry phone pieces completely by putting it in 5# of rice for 72hrs in gallon ziplock bag with all air sucked out using straw @ corner of bag, then reassemble phone and fastboot flash stock again
Hi!
The phone was working fine up till yesterday.
I left it charging, only to find it stuck with the red LED on. It would not respond to button presses, and the LED stayed on even after being unplugged.
I took the battery out, put it back in, didn't want to boot. I took the battery out again, left it out for a few minutes, it booted with an unfamiliar message "Could not do normal boot" or something along those lines. After a restart it booted normally.
I used the phone normally the whole day, but after leaving it charging, same thing happened, but resolved it with leaving the battery out for a few minutes.
Phone worked fine from there on.
Left it charging before bedtime, found it stuck again in the morning, but this time, no way to boot.
I changed batteries, left it without battery for quite some time, nothing.
The phone is rooted, running a custom ROM, flashed sometime last year. Had no problems until now.
What do you recommend?
Seems like it could be the eMMC error.
I was extremely unlucky and it died completely in just one day since the error manifested
If you have any suggestions on how to revive it, please share!
I tried cool it in the freezer, didn't help
Note 4 won't charge or boot - Fixed
Hello,
My note four recently started running sluggishly and the battery would only charge to 77%. I rebooted it and it was now stone dead, would not charge, boot , nada. This is the fix I found that worked for me:
Take out battery, sim card, and mem card. Install back cover. Place phone in ziplock sandwich bag and seal. Place bag into freezer for 20 minutes. Remove bag/phone from freezer, reassemble battery, sim and mem cards. Press the start key and phone should boot(mine did). If not, plug into Samsung fast charger and try booting again.
Regards
Hello,
I'm a bit frustrated with A1 being in a constant restart loop. If there is some battery left it just starts, logo is shown and it reboots again. When it runs out of battery only an ambient light flashes.
Buttons ON/OFF and Volume UP/DOWN are not responding.
Is there a solution?
I have found one answer to remove the back cover and reconnect the battery.
Is there a way with flashing a ROM and not losing any data (because the content was not backed up).
Thank you in advance,
Sebastjan
Did it happen after you flashed a rom or update? Can you get to fastboot mode?
Unexplained restart loop
Hello,
Device was not flashed. It is my wife's phone, so I cannot be 100% sure what's happened but I think the phone came in contact with water (not dropped into water, but a bottle leaked in her bag). Then camera stopped working. I have restarted the phone a few (let's say 5) times. Then camera started working again. And then battery ran out and when plugged to charger the restarting story begun.
BR, Sebastjan

Then you have to open up the phone and dry it out. The contacts have shorted out somewhere. If you're lucky, everything should work ok after drying.
My phone accidentally got thrown into a bucket of water, and i took it out instantly, wiping it off thinking that no water got inside, cause when i turned it on it worked that day, and then after that day, while i was using it, the phone just rebooted itself, and when i try to turn it on it boots, but only on the redmi logo for a couple of seconds and it shuts down. Its weird cause when i put it om fastboot it doesn't turn itelf off, only when i turn it on normally it just boots the redmi logo and then shut itself off. How do I fix this?

Also, it doesn't let me get inside recovery
First turn it off. Put it in a Ziploc bag of rice or big silica gel packet for 3-5 days and do not touch it etc.
Turn it on and pray the system is still intact. Test if everything is working properly.
Rejoice if it boots successfully.
Replace or use for parts if it doesn't
