so i have bought a brand new OP 5. did the latest update to O2 os 4.5.5 and considered doing a hard reset as i have spent a good amount of time with windows phone and a reset was just another ritual there after a ota update.
so i set the device to do a clean reset with wiping of all the data. the device rebooted to the red dot and 2 with dots revolving around it and then after a few seconds rebooted again . as it was late night already i decided to leave it resetting and will set it up later in the morning.
for my surprise when i woke a hour or 2 later i saw the phone is still in the same condition with the two dots revolving around in circles. and the device was super hot around the camera lens region. i didn't wanted to disturb the process so i kept the phone upside down to get it to cool down and went back to bed once again.
when i woke up in the morning and tried switching on my phone it showed a warning sign which read " low battery cannot boot" for a sec and died again. so i connected the charger and the phone booted up with the normal setup screen.
so what just happened? i thought of recreating the issue and i was able to reproduce it again when i charged the phone back to 90% i again set it to factory reset and alas again the thing got stuck in a loop where the two white dots kept circling around. this time i held the power button and the phone switched off but when i turned it on it went straight to the setup screen.
i can still recreate this issue and is seriously bothering me as what is the issue, my knowledge tells me this must be a software bug but is anyone else facing it? though a proper reset happens once in a while where the phone itself boots up to the setup screen but most of the times the device will be stuck on the rotating dots screen.
any help / suggestions / explanations will be much appreciated .
I had the same issue when i reset my phone
Oops Reseting leads to bootloop ??
Same thing happened to me as well. Stuck on bootloop

Any help is greatley appreciated. I just bought the xda2 a week ago and it worked fine until yesterday. At first the phone just wouldnt dial. Then it would freeez. After a soft reset, it wouldnt go past the first "o2" screen and would just hang. The blue light started flashing eventhough I never enabled Bluetooth. The system didnt start past that screen and it also wouldn't shut off. Even after a hard reset it still had the same symptoms(it froze at the bootup screen and had flashing blue light). Around 30 minutes later after trying to turn it on and off. I finally started. But then it happened again today. Thanx in advance
If it still displays these symptoms after a hard reset then it look like a hardware fault. Only other thing i can think of is if you have a memory card inserted that is upsetting the system.
It doesnt have a memory card. I was afraid it might be hardware related. Any idea on how to have it repaired from the US
ok here's what's going on perhaps someone can figure out what's wrong. Last night I had placed my mda on its charger like usual b4 bed. well sonce my battery cover is slightly broken I had placed a some cardboard within the battery door due to the fact that it would "white screen" then rest and get stuck at the loading screen and drain my battery, anyhoo.... well it whitescreened cause my dresser rocked due to my cat stepping on my phone. so I reset it as usual and the splash screen would load then fade to white. after several attempts it finally started to load as usual but then it went to the boot loaderscreen. I had reset it several more times but no luck. I took out the mobo to see if something was stuck and again nope. luckly I had an older mobo that wouldent charge so I had replaced the mobo but does anyone know why it would randomly get stuck on the boot loader screen? I had even did a hard reset in the device and still no luck. if it was a normal computer I would say that it had lost it's OS any ideas on how to fix it so I can get back my phone the way it should be?

I have owned this since new in Feb. 06. Bought a new battery in August this year as the old one was not holding a long charge. Now in the past couple of weeks....I have the following symptons;
1- Hard to boot up, as in the first blue screen lighting up and then in 5-15 seconds it automatically reboots itself and cycles doing the same thing 3-4 times before shutting down. Sometimes it will get to the 'Mobile' loading screen before doing the same thing. HTC said over the phone that the unit is 'dead'....particularly since we couldn't get it to boot up so that we could do a hard reset. After continuing for the last week to get a hard reset started on power up.....I was able to get it to hard reset yesterday and the phone turned on and everything worked. But then in the middle of my second call using it again...it shut down.
It may take hours to try to get the phone on as it just 'cycles' over and over again trying to boot up. Once in a while it will boot up,...right now it is on.....but I can't rely on it to make a call as it will turn off suddenly.
Is this phone ready for the bone-yard? ....or is there some CPR that can be done?
Oh,....it has the latest ROM from HTC and runs on the original WM5,....no other programs loaded back on it after the hard reset (not that it matters as the phone still has problems turning on and if it gets on....it may randomly shut down
Right I feel silly, knowing this I just couldn't resist trying to fix my "phone", so I've bought a S7 Edge from eBay from a trusted company with a 14 day refund which is good right?
We'll I couldn't rest as the phone was going into boot loops, i.e booting once every 5 times, going into the black screen of death with blue LED.(Had to wait for the battery to drain to 0%) https://youtu.be/K9T_UF-_5ho (Even though it booted at the end after a minute of use it crashed and went back into a boot loop and crashed and then it was fine for like an hour)
It would get stuck if I went to stock recovery, get this weird static line. I did boot into recovery once so I did a factory reset hoping it would fix something, which it did not. So I guess I was going to return the phone, I then had the stupid smart idea that it booting up fully and me activating it and then resetting it would be a good idea, and boy I was wrong. So it went to you know the usual "erasing screen" in which it would get stuck on, I did the hard restart maybe 4 times then it sorta worked the android guy kept spinning until IT JUST DIED.
And here we are now me typing this out, I feel like the company isn't going to accept it back due to it not being "functional".
Absolutely no sign of life now. Not even charging, this has happened before with it when I went into the recovery menu and it got stuck. I waited out an hour and then pressed ALL the buttons and the charging icon appeared but now, now I think it's different.
TLDR: Bad eMMC of phone, caused me to try to reset it and now it's bricked?
Well lesson learned? When things aren't working at the first place don't try to fix them just refuse outright.
Some say the phone can't be bricked but I feel like I really did it this time.
No the phone wasn't rooted, no I didn't flash with ODIN.

Just return it.
There is nothing else you can do and I see no reason why they wouldn't accept it unless there's a physical damage.

Hi Community,
I had to reset my oneplus 5 because of a annoying adware that i might have got from something was experiencing ad pop ups even on the home screen. So i did a factory reset from setting. My phone restarted and the boot screen appeared. After one or two mins both white dots of bootlogo merged and big red logo appeared (device was about to go to setup page) but instead of going to setup screen a black screen appeared and again bootlogo started rolling... i thought its a reset process but it just on for a long time, around 20 mins. So i restarted the device by holding power button and phone restarted to the setup screen in no time.
I again did a reset and same thing happened
Can some please tell me was that normal or was a bootloop??
Please help
