I made a factory reset; it started as usual, but after about 10 minutes, an error message appeared. I left the phone for about an hour while charging and since it was still stuck on the error message, I turned it off long pressing the power button. At the next boot-up, it seems to be resuming the factory reset, but after a couple of seconds it reboots again in this weird bootloop.
At first, I decided to flash the image via fastboot, but if I try to enter recovery mode while it's rebooting, it works, but again, after a couple of seconds it reboots, so I don't have the time to do anything.
Do you have any idea of what it could be? What can I try to do?
P.S. at the moment of the factory reset was installed a stock build of Android 6 (I don't remember which one, but surely not the latest)
Possible power button problem?
I was hoping that was a software problem, but since my power button has been not working well for a long time, it was the only possible reason.
For anyone else who's having a similar problem, i adjusted the position of the power button from the inside with a small screwdriver (you have to remove the cover and the motherboard protection) and then just a simple flash via fastboot.

I did a search but no solutions came up.
Basically, when I touch the screen to move the little lock icon over to unlock it nothing happens.
I powered it off by holding power for 10 seconds and then powered it on again.
No bueno, nothing happened.
Anyone else run into this and was able to solve it?
yes, i had the same problem, you will not like this..
do one step at the time and check if it works, if not continue to the next one
1. cold reboot (hold power button for 30-60 seconds),
you can try step 1 several times
2. turn it off, let it charge for 2-3 hours, turn it on
3. reboot to safe mode (this not really sure how i did it..lol.. i think is, turn off and turn on and quickly hold both volume keys until it boots up, if you did it correctly it will boot and say "safe mode" at the bottom left corner).
4. reset to factory settings, hold volume (-) and power key at the same time, (this will erase everything)
when i had this problem, i actually had to cold rebooted several times and reboot into safe mode after step 4 to have the touchscreen working again..I was about this close () to give up and return it to walmart..
I had the same thing happen to me, and all the rebooting in the world couldn't fix it. I don't know if you're still on stock rom or not, but what I did was reflashed the Prime rom and it worked again.
Nothing helped, even hard wipe.
Returned the TF.
I had this same problem... Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting the power drain out. That was a huge pain because the Transformer has a killer battery and there are only so many times you can turn the screen on and off to drain it. It took about 4-5 days to fully drain. After that point I had upgraded to 3.1 and it has worked flawlessly since then... definitely a firmware problem not hardware.
Hi everyone!
I think my bootloop problem may be a unique one because it only occurs whenever I press the power button (and I've kinda searched other threads and couldn't find a bootloop issue like mine). But before I explain in depth, here are my specs:
Stock 4.4.4 rom
Rooted, with xposed + gb
ElementalX 1.00 kernel
This problem is a randomly occurring one; when my phone is fine and I press the power button, it almost usually goes into a bootloop. It can either stay on the google screen or last all the way up to the x-boot one. Sometimes from the x-boot screen, it'll reboot again. So I realized that if I randomly press the power button a few times (usually trial and error), the problem goes away sometimes and I boot normally again. However, if I hit the power button again for any reason, the bootloop issue relapses.
Also another thing to note is sometimes when my phone is switched on and operating normally and I press the button, it doesn't always reboot immediately. Sometimes it behaves as if the power button is held down and the power menu pops up in the lockscreen... then subsequently it boot loops.
So I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue to do with the button itself (because I very rarely ever drop my phone. Perhaps about 3 times in the past 8-9 months since Dec 2013?) or it's a software issue...which will mean I've to reflash my stock rom.
Anyone with a similar issue please help! It's kinda driving me nuts cos I can't even unlock my phone without triggering a bootloop...:crying:

Might want to send it in for repair. Mine had the same symptoms about a month ago--spontaneously displaying the power menu, boot loops where I'd need to do a hardware reboot (or whatever it's called, vol up + power) and sometimes it won't wake the screen when I press the power button and act as if I turned it off. Tried to reflash recovery and change roms, same banana. Then suddenly it won't go out of bootloop, sometimes gets to the x-boot and sometimes only until the Google logo. Sent it for repair and lo and behold, hardware problem. I think this is really inherent on some older Nexus 5's with the wobbly power button.
I suggest you do a nandroid backup while you have the chance. Never had a chance myself

sigh, i reflashed stock rom and the problem persisted. i can't even stay on the bootloader screen without it rebooting itself all over again. i guess it's an old nexus 5 hardware problem like you said :/ thanks for sharing!

Sounds like the power button is getting stuck, or shorting out.
Got a weird problem with my Photon Q
Occasionally the phone will freeze up and reset - tried narrowing this down to a possible app crash but it doesnt seem to be any offenders
Occasionally the phone will freeze and turn off - after this it will respond to no inputs (power button has no effect, plugging it into the computer or wall charger will not lightup the charging light)
Battery life seems to be ok - nothing drastically different than normal
Once the phone is dead the only way to get it to turn on again is to hold volume up and the power button which gets me to the screen with the little android laying on his back with the exclamation point
At this point I do a soft reset (power button plus volume down) and the phone resets and turns on.
Hardware issue? Would a factory reset possibly fix this? I was thinking about a custom rom anyways.......
I have same situation with one with my phone, but was with "sim modded phone " and that was a fault of bad conneciton with mb and sim slot ( i add capacitor and problem was gone )
regards
My phone has been stuck in a boot loop all night. I tried doing a factory wipe but that didn't change anything. I get stuck on the second Motorola "M" boot screen, and then my phone will just reset. Any help is appreciated!

did you try go in recovery mode and do a wipe / full wipe factory reset ?

I did, but still no luck. I wiped the data and cache a few times, no luck. It just freezes on the animated Motorola logo screen.

You seem to have thread jacked, but I would suggest using RSD Lite to restore a completely stock setup.

I tried wiping the cache, which worked for me one of the times I got stuck. On the recovery screen (with the little android dude on his back), press vol up and down together. It will bring up a menu that will give you the option to wipe your cache. I don't know if this will have any adverse affects, but since I was desperate to get my phone back up, I tried it. Good luck!
Hey so this is what happened.
I use TWRP recovery
I wanted to "completely" factory reset my phone and so I went into recovery and did the usual factory reset And then I went into advanced and selected all the things and did the factory reset
And then I clicked on one other thing there (I think it was the option to "format data") and it asked me to type "yes" if I wanted to do the action and I typed yes.
After this I did a factory reset again and rebooted my phone. It did not go past the Google logo. Then the charge ran out and it turned off.
and now its not even charging (nor turning on) even though I'm 100% sure the charger is okay so it has to be related to this factory reset.
I've tried googling around this thing a little but haven't found any solutions and I know I'm stupid for doing something I wasn't supposed to but urgh! I hope you can help me out. Thanks
(I think its important to make it clear that I can't turn on my phone at all nor can I charge it. Maybe it cures itself in the morning. Thats what I'm hoping for. )
If you selected all the things, as you said, you have most probably erased system partition too. You have to reflash a ROM or restore a factory image. Charging should not be affected, I believe after some time charging will start.
I doubt its truly dead after a factory reset, Hold the power button until it vibrates (20 seconds tops). If that doesn't force restart it then leave it plugged in for at least 30 minutes before holding the volume down and power button for 30 seconds or until it vibrates. Lets say all goes well and it vibrates, you then need to get the factory images as you have deleted your entire system. You will lose all photo, videos and music. (You already deleted them when you typed yes in twrp).

It didnt start. I also managed to kill charging. I think I deleted my phones ability to charge the battery.
I charged my brothers battery on his phone and inserted his battery on my phone. Then I got onto bootloader and flashed the image. and now it works. Cheers

your doubt was well, wrong. I did delete everything including the phones ability to charge.

Wow, I thought I was on the OP3t forum...
Hello, today I tried to install the February update (HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20230223)) on my Dasaita Max-10-CP-HD CB068 (Nissan Qashqai J11b year 2019). That also worked, but when you restart it gets stuck with the Android logo. What do I have to do now so that the radio works again? Or do I need a new radio?
After applying the update, did you wait long enough on that first boot? I've seen it take several minutes for the first boot after an update to finally come up. You may need to go into recovery mode by pressing and holding the reset button within seconds of power on. That should get you to a menu where you can do a factory reset.
Also make sure that you disconnect the USB thumb drive having the update.zip file.
Yet another reason why it's not recommended to apply firmware updates unless you know it fixes a specific issue that you're experiencing.
Hello, I tried holding down the reset button for several minutes when switching on. The 4 left LEDs flashed briefly. The display booted up to the Android font and then the font stopped.
Try pressing the reset button in for like 1-2 seconds right after power on, release for a second, then hold it until it comes into recovery mode.
