Hi as you see in the title I have soft bricked my phone(I think?). The new android oreo required that I lock boot loader, I locked it and now I'm stuck in boot animation (the spinning circles), I have access to fastboot of course, but can't enter recovery, when I try it just restarts the phone. Help would be much appreciated!

It don't require you to re-lock bootloader
Did you come from 4.5.15 ?

Hey everyone, recently I've bought a nexus 4 that was soft bricked, I can access the fastboot and recovery, I tried flashing using The nexus toolkit to flash but its always stuck at boot loop, I tried using commands to flash , it will loop boot, I tried factory resetting after each flash but nothing helps..I am able to see the phones storage too, any ideas how to get past the loop? Thank you in advance!

Just flash a factory image straight from google. Need to be more specific with errors if you want help. Did the bootloader unlock ok? Was it already unlocked?
Try flashing 4.2.2 image rather than the latest, some hardware issues can prevent the newer firmwares from booting.

I tried flashing 4.4.4 then the first jelly bean, it was already unlocked , im able to access the download mode, fastboot and recovery, like i said I tried 4.4.4 and oldest jb but its still in boot loop, any ideas?
There were no errors at all, using the nexus toolkit or using commands
Lock your boot loader then reboot. Is the padlock gone? If it is unlock the boot loader and retry. If your boot loader will not relock or unlock after relock you have an emmc issue. If it all goes through fine but still won't boot it's also probably a hardware issue but maybe fixable.
Hello guys
I tried to unlock my phones bootloader and i unlocked it but when my phone rebooted its not boot and write:your devicr is booting now
Helppppp
I decided to unlock the bootloader so that i could flash TWRP recovery but after unlocking the bootloader on my device, it has been stuck on the logo screen with "powered by android" under it. I have tried using fastboot to clear userdata & cache but that just leads to my phone again being stuck on the logo screen. The device also can't boot into recovery. When I chose to power off in fastboot it causes me to be stuck on the logo screen. Any help is appreciated I am on android oreo btw
Did you try a back to stock zip? go to fastboot and run flash-all.bat, while your device is plugged in ofcourse.

Let me guess.
You unlocked the boot loader and flashed TWRP and now you are looping, right?
There is no compatible TWRP that is compatible with Oreo on this phone.
You cannot leave TWRP installed. You can only install it along enough to get the recovery to boot.
You then must flash the stock boot image.
I had this problem tonight also. In my case I suspect it had to do with the install of magisk in which I checked both boxes and patched the bootloader. on reboot I was stuck on boot. Just wanted to add my solution. I got the pie back to stock zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 then I put it into the adb folder and ran the flashall.bat script. I tried the no wipe one and it saved my information. very happy I didnt have to resetup my phone in the end.
did you remember to flash a stock boot.img before flashing magisk (to clear TWRP?)
My phone is stuck on the boot warning screen that starts with "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed" etc. I've tried holding down volume up + power but that didn't work and I can't boot into fastboot or the stock os which is still on there. Please help
P.S my phone is not rooted, only the bootloader is unlocked and nothing more
Edit: Ignore this thread, I booted into fastboot and got an os installed perfectly
Hello,
I was trying to downgrade my phone from the beta to Android 12 and it's now stuck in Fastboot mode. Won't let me enter recovery. Tries to boot but just stays on the nothing logo. My bootloader is unlocked. I'm assuming I need the same firmware I was running to reload onto the phone. Any other files needed?
Thank you so much! cheers

I can't enter recovery mode. Only fastboot.
Flash boot and vendor_boot and you'll be right back in recovery
If it's not booting try set active slot to either a or B and flash the images mentioned above

I'm having a similar issue coming off a fastboot stuck device. I guess I managed to delete the recovery mode from slot B so I can't get into fastbootd to flash some of the lower level partitions to make my fingerprint sensor work.
The vendor_image is the recovery?
Did you guys find any solution? I am stuck with my phone stuck in the bootloader mode and I can't seem to do anything.
Here's what I did:
1) Unlocked bootloader while being on NOS 1.5.1 Beta. Successfuly did it.
2) Restarted my phone to bootloader mode and flashed dtbo, boot and vendor_boot from SuperiorOS 11th Feb build.
3) Proceeded to restart to recovery as mentioned in the instructions but instead of restarting to recovery, it restarted to bootloader.
4) Stuck in bootloader mode ever since!
Nothing seems to be working. I have tried literally everything but cannot get past the bootloader. Please help. I don't have any secondary device to use.
