Help Needed

Hey all,
My nexus 10 was fine until earlier when it randomly shut off then attempted to reboot itself, and that's where the trouble begins. It has been in a constant boot loop all night, going from the google logo to off and back to the logo. I've tried going into boot loader mode but I'm unable to do anything there as the rockers don't change the settings and the thing reboots itself after about 5 seconds of being in the menu! I have no idea what is happening.
Edit: It did reboot fully once and I used it for 2 minutes before it sent itself back into the loop. Any help please?

The one possibility I can think of is that there's something wrong with the power button. Maybe it's getting stuck or something inside and causing it to stay pressed which causes a force reboot. It could be why your volume buttons weren't doing anything in the bootloader since it might have thought the power button was being held down. That's just a guess. If it's a hardware thing, there's not much anyone can do for you over the internet. You might have to find a way to get under that power button and clean it out somehow.

Bootloop and "erasing screen" after flashing stock european firmware

Hi guys, I have a big problem: I was testing Android 7.0 from GtrCraft, but seeing problems with my SIMcard, I wanted to reflash the stock firmware.
Well, after flashing I'm stuck in a strange bootloop that keeps "erasing" with the green robot screen and reboot. I can do nothing. I reflashed, ri-reflashed, tried twrp but it gives me many load errors and reboots. I tried power off, but it stucks anyway on erasing screen. I'm desperate, I don't know what to do...
EDIT: Solved, I forgot a sparsechunk

Turn it off (or wait for it to turn off) and then press power+volume down and hold for 5 seconds

I had similar issue. To ensure you don't miss anything when flashing stock rom, use Rsdlite

Stuck on encryption lock screen, won't boot PLEASE HELP

Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.

I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x

I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.

Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.

Have exactly the same issue..Please help

please help me to fix my phone

Does the phone boot properly to the desktop after flashing the latest stock ROM?

yes it boots normal
btw little update i found out i can use my recovery my screen just dont show any thing
i found that out because everytime i was downgrading from 5.1.0 to 4.4.2 i had to do wipe data or it wont boot
i tryed to go in recovery and go 3 down (wipe data) and then 7 down (yes) just with youtube videos and it worked before the wipe my phone does not start on 4.4.2
that means that my recovery is working but screen just doesnt show it
it doesnt show anything but the white samsung logo, normal system, downloadmode
at any other time my display ist blank
as an example when i turn it on i see the white logo then screen turns blank i hear the bootup sound, after 15 sec screen goes black and when i press unlock i can normal use the phone
but why is it blank while booting and in recovery and also is a bit flickering when phone is turned on normal

Recovery works on stock lollipop?

yes recovery works but screen does not when i enter it
the screen is turned on but it only shows black
same thing when the phone boots up screen in turned on but only shows black untill the phone is booted then screen works but is flickring a tiny bit
i called in a repair shop they told me maybe the backlight control is broken???
because i also cant change my brightness its set to max and doesent get darker when i move the slider

Black screen bootloader and constant hard freezes

If I have my phone off, and power it on it will boot straight into the bootloader but have a black screen, if I press the powerbutton I assume I am choosing "resume poweron" because the phone restarts and then powers up with a black screen for 30 seconds before the animated part of the boot animation starts.
I have done a full reflash(afaik) from LOLINET using my device model file XT1926-5 and my region RETAPAC and when I reboot it still has the black screen.
I have Magisk installed and I believe my bootloader is unlocked, the only thing I remember doing was trying to flash TWRP but I have done a full restore since then using LOLINET.
Usually a black screen like this wouldn't be a problem, however the real annoyance is my phone constantly will freeze up for no reason, I will be mid way writing a message and the whole phone will hard freeze, I have tried doing another restore to see if this will fix it and alas it has not, so I am at a loss to what is going on, I have booted into TWRP and tried repairing partitons thinking something could be flipped and it was angry but no.
So I am a tad bit out of ideas unless anyone has anything for me? Logcat doesn't turn up anything interesting reguarding the crashes, I haven't found any events that are logged with ERROR,ASSERT or WARNING at the time of crash.
Anyone got something for me?

Are you able to get in recovery mode, or the bootloader just freeze.

If I try go to recovery it falls through tight away to the boot loader

Even if I use adb reboot recovery it just reboots into the black screen fastboot.
