Hi.
My phone auto-boots when I insert the battery and then stays stuck at the mi logo till the battery is exhausted.
I tried pressing power key + combos.. to forcefully close phone or start recovery but nothing works.
I can't go into fastboot or recovery. I had a custom ROM (Lineage 14.1) before and I was trying to factory reset from TWRP when this issue occurred.
What should I do?
- I have tried using a different battery from a different working Redmi 2 phone but that didn't work.
Please help.
Model: (HM2014818)
SOLVED.
Holding the power button for some time (15 secs) with Vol down enabled me to start fastboot.
From there, just flashed recovery and done.

Hi all,
I was really happy with Lineage OS 14.1 running on my Storm. Today, I decided to flash the latest nightly, just leaving me with a bricked phone.
What happens right now, is:
- the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I only see the Wileyfox logo screen with "powered by android", written on the bottom of the screen.
- occasionally, the screen becomes black and the device reboots, just to get stuck again.
- pressing vol+ and power, vol- and power makes the device reboot quicker (with or without usb attached), but it immediately gets stuck again.
- I can't even turn off the phone by holding power down for 30+ seconds -- the device keeps on rebooting over and over again
Can anybody tell me how to get out of here? Just turning of the phone would help in the first place ...
Thank you, best regards!

How did you flash it? I got this "update" via OTA and my phone became a soft-soft brick - everything loads normally but the touchscreen doesn't work at all.
In your case, I think, there is something wrong with bootloader (but how? in LOS updates they never touch this thing) or maybe the battery is totally discharged.
I've got 2 Storms and I've seen them stuck in endless bootloop when the battery was 0% and I tried to charge them with bad charger or low-quality cable. So maybe the battery drained while updating

I sideloaded the downloaded nightly. There were no error messages in TWRP log, and the battery was almost completely full.
What can be done with a wrecked bootloader? It seems I can't even get into fastboot.
(this is my real account, was unable to post out of tapatalk yesterday)
The only way is playing with vol+ and power buttons. I entered TWRP after almost 20 attempts... It's really difficult to enter fastboot or recovery via button combinations.
Flashing LOS via TWRP doesn't touch the bootloader. You can see the contents of LOS update zip-archive - there is no bootlader file, only system and kernel (boot.img). So please try using key combinations once again.
Also, constant bootloop occurs when the touchscreen is cracked, but that's not your case

Thank you very much for your feedback -- highly appreciated.
After some hours of trying, I still desperately get back to you. What exactly do you mean by "playing with vol+ and pwr buttons"? Holding them together infinitely? Pressing and releasing quickly? Holding one while pressing and releasing the other?
I still have not succeeded any further from the previous stage, unfortunately ;(

I can't understand exactly how to get into these modes, because I can enter them only after "playing" several times. I hold 2 keys together and then the phone vibrates and I have to release them immediately, and after that it enters fastboot or recovery. But not from the first time! Sometimes it reboots again and again.
Try "playing" and if there is no result - only service would help.
If your phone doesn't enter into fastboot or recovery it may mean two things. First - you press keys in wrong way, so "playing" would help. Second - bootloader is broken or some hardware problems (e.g. cracked touchscreen, broken pwr or volume key etc.)
I hope that's the first, and finally you will enter fastboot or recovery mode.
Also you may try plugging charger.
Entering bootloader :
Press togheter vol+ and power when you see wileyfox screen release power
Entering recovery:
Vol- and power same thing for release power....
If phone don't boot ( loop ) press and hold 30 sec or more power then press vol+ or -.
Try bootloader, booting twrp on ram then flash what you want.
Fastboot boot your_recovery.img, use twrp 3.0 or 3.1
Enjoy...

Salutations to all,
I am having a severe issue with my Redmi 2.
I try to power it on (power unplugged) : it shows 'mi' logo, within a second restarts again and again and again... Just nothing.
I try to boot into recovery (power unplugged) : same thing
Try to reboot into Fastboot(power unplugged) : Success.
I try to power on (power plugged) : sometimes (if lucky) after around 5-6 tries it works and starts booting but only till lock screen or sometimes even before that it restarts and same boot loop within a second at 'mi' logo screen over and over again.
I try to boot into recovery (power plugged) : almost same scenario, very toughly boots after many attempts, can hold in recovery for as long as we want if we recently flashed recovery through fastboot.
Boot into fastboot attempt (power plugged) : success
Only thing working is fastboot that works regardless of power cable unplugged or plugged, everything else 0 chance of working without power cable, barely a 4/10 chances of working with power cable but only upto some extent.
I Tried everything, flashing twrp, fastboot complete flash miui 9 nothing works.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Even after trying every combination, the screen directly boots up to "Powered by Android" screen and stops. Connecting it with PC shows no response.I guess might be a motherboard issue but the same problem to him makes me think otherwise
Soft brick
Congratulations Buddy you have successfully soft bricked your mobile
Facing same issue. Can someone please help? Thank You
Since the topic was resurrected not long ago, same issue here, and i didn't install any custom rom so far, just did a casual reboot and got stuck there too. No holding power and volume, not anything.
Hello all,
Earlier i had ran the battery down to 0% and plugged my phone in to charge. after 10 mins i came back to the phone and I could see the bootloader warning screen;
The Boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed..... etc...
No button on the device seems to do anything and device isnt showing under ADB or Fastboot.
Any ideas other than let the device run out of battery?
Rom: OOS
Recovery: TWRP
Kernel: Stock
Root: Magisk
Yeah, that happened to me too, that's why I don't charge the phone turned off
Press the power + vol up buttons till the screen turns off once it does stop pressing them and it should boot up
It's a Magisk bug for what it's worth. Unplug the phone, hold all three buttons and it will vibrate and reboot after a few seconds. Once you see the boot logo, plug it back in and it should finish booting and also be charging.
This happened to me too. I was really worried as I waited over 20 hours for it to drain the battery. All i had to do was to hold volume Up+power button for about 15 seconds.

source, mate?
@mods, perhaps you can merge this thread with https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/oneplus-6t-stucked-unlocked-bootloader-t3874178
Guys, do you have any problem using the hw buttons to boot in recovery/bootloader? I tried everytime, but the only way I could boot in there was with the advanced reboot option.
To ROMRACER: Thank you. You helped very much. It works.
not a magisk bug. answered here

I can turn off the phone using the power button and volume up, but after rebooting again, still can't get passed the boot loader warning... any solutions?
I was in this position today.
I'd kept the charger attached whilst going into TWRP to do a NANDROID backup, when I rebooted was stuck at he bootloader warning. None of the suggested solutions above worked for me having tried them several times, each time I got the phone to reboot was again stuck at the warning.
I could get into fastboot, (but from there any method to boot came to the warning again), so connected to the pc and reflashed TWRP image and could then boot into recovery, from there reflashed Magisk and was finally able reboot normally.
Hope this might help someone else.
Hey everyone,
so here's my situation:
I unlocked the bootloader for my G6
I activated USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options
I then flashed TWRP 3.4.0-1
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen, when I hard reset (power button + volume down, then pressing power button again when G6 logo appears, then selecting "factory reset" and "yes" twice) the phone does not boot into TWRP but instead goes to the boot logo again and nothing happens. I tried leaving it for a while and it stayed like this until the battery ran out. When I plug it in, it starts the same procedure immediately. When I connect it to my pc, I cannot manage to flash anything because I can't boot into bootloader because the phone is not detected (my pc doesn't play the usb plug-in/unplug sound).
So my question really is: Did I kill my G6 since I am unable to flash anything or is there still an option to get bootloader running again? And yes, I did try the unbrick method under https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-unbrick-method-t3935924 but I get stuck at the point where you need to click "download" because my phone is not detected. I also heard about the method of shorting the pins beneath the flash but I don't know how to do that...
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I had the same problem and finally solved it by using the release of TWRP found here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-3-1-x-stable-official.3627595/
After flashing TWRP I followed those restarting steps :
Hold vol down + power for 10 seconds and your phone will power off.
Hold vol down + power / release power when the LG logo appears and then immediately hold power until the Factory Menu start
Menu select Yes
Confirm Yes
TWRP boots
Hope this will help
Edit : A more recent version of TWRP compatible with LG G6 is available here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-v3-2-3-1-for-h870-h872-us997-unofficial.3828254/
