Phone froze, and now bootloops

I had been using my phone with no issues for some time (on Nitrogen 7.1) and at dinner I took a picture and then tried to upload it to Facebook. It froze when I tried to do that and ever since, it has bootlooped.
It shows the unlocked bootloader warning and then Google splash screen and that's as far as it gets. I can't get it to boot into TWRP via the volume buttons, but I can get it into the bootloader. It also wont boot into TWRP via the bootloader menu option. I re-flashed TWRP from fastboot but it didn't change anything.
I realize I should be able to factory wipe it with fastboot, but is there any way I can recover my data or better yet get recovery going again?

Updated and lost root, recovery, and relocked

Hello
I had my phone on the VNS-L31C113B132 firmware, unlocked, rooted.
Then I got a message about a new update (VNS-L31C113B141), so naturally, I downloaded the update.app and tried to flash it through twrp with no success, so I used the up+down+power method, it worked, and all was well, except i lost root, lost twrp, and the bootloader seemed to be locked again. No data or apps were deleted though. Then I updated to B150 same method.
any idea why root and recovery are gone? and how can I check if my bootloader indeed is relocked?

That is a completely regular behavior. You can check by booting to bootloader (holding up and power button when the phone is turned off), it will show you a white screen with the Android robot and info on bootloader and FRP status. To get everything back, just unlock the BL again, flash TWRP again and root again, no harm will be done, and your root software (e.g. Xposed) will start working again (although for xposed, you'll have only the client, the framework has to be flashed via TWRP once again).

unlocking again may result in factory reset.... or is there another method that keeps everything?

Unfrtunately yes, the phone will be reset. All you can do is to back it up and then restore it. Next time you update firmware, update it with "update.zip" from TWRP, this way, only recovery and root will be removed, but not the BL unlock.

look around, it is a workaround for skip factory reset in unlock/relock procedure.

Moto G4 recovery boot loop

I really need help here. New to rooting androids, will pay BTC for whoever can help me.
I started off fine, unlocked my bootloader, flashed to TWRP and installed supersu. * I WAS ABLE TO BOOT INTO SYSTEM HERE *
I then tried to flash some other stuff and got stuck where it would only boot to TWRP.
Downloaded the stock firmware to flash it (XT1625) and ran all the commands.
Still everytime I reboot it goes into recovery mode.
Any help?

I have tried to do factory reset directly from phone menu. This got me into TWRP. I have selected factory reset again.
Then I was able to boot only to TWRP, not system.
I have fixed it by booting into booloader (power + vol downs) and to select START. Then it started to system OK.
Not sure if this is your case.

Thank you very much for your tutorial which helped a lot.
What did you do to keep it from booting into recovery upon the next reboot? Mine goes into recovery-loop again once I do regular reboot from the system. There might be a software switch somewhere.
Thanks alot

Hello, I didn't observe such issue. Reboots from system are ok for me.

Download the correct firmware for your phone, if it is AMZ variant then download AMZ firmware.

Cant boot into TWRP

You have to install a custom rom or root to make twrp permanent, if you don't do that it will install always after the first boot the stock recovery.

You need to reflash twrp with the bootloader like the first time.

When you have flashed twrp, you do the buton combination to enter twrp, if you fail to enter twrp a the phone boots into system the stock recovery will be reflashed so you have to reflash twrp.
Try making these:
When you are in the bootloader after flashing twrp press button down+ power button. When the screen turns off quickly stop pressing power button and quickly press again until the lg logo appear.
When the lg logo appear stop pressing power button, quickly press again and stop pressing the power button and press again quickly until you see twrp logo.
These method works for me for booting twrp easily

The stock recovery appears but you have to select the factory reset option and it will boot into TWRP

Unfortunately still not succeeded after trying all the solutions i've found here

Hey, i have the same Problem, my TWRP broke, i can't boot into recovery and my Device ist not listed in fastboot mode. Can someone help me out?
I get the ring in windows when i plugin but its not recognizing.. Can someone pls help me out?

Okay, I'm going to try to explain it, and see if I can succeed where others have not.
You install TWRP by booting to bootloader and using fastboot to push a new recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It seems like you accomplished that successfully. The next step is to immediately boot to recovery; do not boot the phone to system first. You will get the factory prompts for wiping data, but it will not actually wipe your data this time. Instead it will boot to TWRP.
Now, while you are in TWRP, you need to either root (flash Magisk) or install a custom ROM. If you do not, your next boot to system will remove TWRP and restore the stock recovery. If that happens, then the data-wiping prompts the next time you boot to recovery are real and the phone will wipe. So you MUST - must must must - root or install a custom ROM while you have TWRP up, in order for TWRP to persist.
If you have already experienced this problem, you need to start over at the beginning; flash TWRP again, and then follow the rest of these directions.
Maybe this will help clear up the problem for you guys.

Oh my god, i really really thanks for your reply, you're so fre*king good. U made my day.

Guys a little help
I only manage to see the TWRP welcome screen and the the phone automatically reboots to system
I can't get to see the TWRP menu at all!!
WTF is going on?
I have repeated the process many many times and always the same. What i am missing here?!?!?

me too when it boots in twrp only showing logo then it reboots in system what are wedoing wrong?

Got the same problem. I unlocked Bootloader, checked if unlocked (yes). After flashing TWRP i see the TeamWin Screen and phone boot again. There is no TeamWin Menu.
A try with an older TWRP-Version and flashing via fastboot with another PC does not work too.
Anybody an idea?

Did you guys manage to fix it?
Matt.

With 3.2.1.0, 3.2.2.0 and 3.2.3.0 it only briefly shows the TWRP screen and then boots into system anyway.
With 3.1.1.0 the key combination to boot into TWRP as with the other versions above simply doesn't work, again it directly boots into system without even showing the TWRP screen.
I'm stuck with a resetted phone because of this bull****, because some instructions said "oh, the reset dialog will not really reset your data..." - yeah thanks for nothing, buddy.
So what now?
EDIT: I got it working using TWRP 3.1.1.0, but the same version from the OFFICIAL site didn't work, as I described above.
The only 3.1.1.0 TWRP that works with my phone is the one from this Link: http://downloads.codefi.re/rashed/g6/
(which is linked ... somewhere here in the Forum, don't remember which thread)

Can flash ROMs but can't boot them

I have a Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1. I had its bootloader unlocked in a phone repair shop (by shorting testpoint).
Now it always greets me with the message "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted".
I can load the boot into the bootloader and I can flash TWRP (I tried 3.4.0 and 3.3.1 from DarkJoker360 and also the one from Pretoriano80).
I am also able to flash system images, for example LineageOS from DarkJoker360.
At first that seemed to work to some extent: the new system kept crashing but at least it was booting.
I tried again and again and at some point I wiped everything but the sdcard using TWRP (that is, including the vendor partition). I suspect that's what I did wrong, because presently I can no longer boot into the ROM I am flashing. Instead, the phone waits for a few seconds, then vibrates once and restarts. The second time, it boots into "Huawei eRecovery" (where I can "Download latest version and recovery", "Wipe data/factory reset", "Reboot" or "Shutdown"). I am afraid of attempting to go back to the stock ROM as I wouldn't want the bootloader to become locked again.
Since I can still boot into both the bootloader and the recovery, I have hope I can recover. But I don't know how.
Does anyone understand what happened (and could explain)?
Also, does anyone know how I could boot into the ROM again?

Never mind. I went back to stock. Also, the bootloader became locked again during the process, so I will not try again.
