Hello,
A few days back, when I was using my phone (redmi note 6 pro tulip), the screen suddenly greyed out and started rebooting. Within a minute, the phone went to mi-recovery 3.0.
Now, no matter how I try to reboot the phone (from recovery or by hard buttons) , it boots directly into recovery. Even If I don't do anything, it just cycles through the grey screen, mi logo, and recovery.
More info:
- The phone is completely stock, original MIUI 11 ( android 9.0) firmware from OEM. No root access, no unlocked bootloader or anything else like that. Warranty period is over.
- I can access fastboot mode.
- usb debugging isn't on iirc.
- I tried force shut down by hard buttons and disconnecting the battery, but when rebooting again, nothing changes.
- I tried booting to safe mode but it just shows a black screen and a small safe mode logo in the bottom left.
- mi-recovery 3.0 only allows to wipe all data, which is unfeasible since I have alot of unbacked data that I can't lose.
What can I do now? I've heard that flashing by edl method from an authorized account can save data. And something about a chinese mi pcsuite version. Could anyone provide more information on these? Or any other way to solve the problem?
I want to recover data (photos, videos and docs) and revive my phone.
Thanks in advance

A lot of edl flashing articles on miui forum and mi community are 404 not found now. Please help!!
You solved? I'm with the exactly same problem and I found nothing specifically for this, plus, I tried wipe data already and it still doesn't work.
It maybe be button issue (the volume and power keys have gone bad probably). Remove the buttons from main board and try to boot into system.
I was facing the exact same problem.
And I discovered that it was caused because of the volume button that was kinda stuck, forcing the phone to enter recovery mode every time I tried to reboot it, as mentioned by @HumanBoy23.
After I got the volume buttons unstuck the phone booted normally.

So I haven't had any luck with my Oneplus One lately . I had rooted the phone and was running the CyanogenMod nightlies for a while, but recently for some reason when I updated it for Nov. 25 I have been suck in a reboot loop where the phone boots up and it starts updating apps, but then it continuously does this cycle of rebooting and updating apps. I have tried to enter recovery mode to try and remedy the situation as I have twrp, but for some reason it doesn't boot to recovery when I press down the power and vol down buttons. I have tried to adb to try and reboot into recovery mode but I haven't been able to get it to work. I'd really appreciate some help on this as I have no idea what to do at this point.
I should also mention that I would like to see if it is possible to recover my data as I foolishly did not make a back up.
Thanks in advance.
So just an update I was finally able to get into recovery mode. I backed up my data with twrp and I tried the method mentioned in the reddit link below.
http://https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/1ly5b1/is_it_possible_to_restore_my_sms_from_a_twrp/
I installed the newest version of nightlies CM 13.0 2015 11/30 along with gapps 6.0, but now my phone just boots up and optimizes apps but when it restarts after that it just goes to a black screen.
I know I can wipe everything through twrp and install cm 13.0 probably eliminating the issues I am having, but I'm reluctant to do so as I would like to retrieve my sms messages. I have taken my photos off my phone so I have that.
If any one can advise me on if I can restore my sms from the twrp back up I have made then I'll wipe my phone and do a clean install.
Thanks in advance
i have the exact same problem. would be nice to have it fixed and working without losing all the data.
So I decided to go ahead and wipe my system as I have all of the data I could get out of my phone on my pc now. I get get cyanogen working nicely, until I go into twrp and try to restore the data files I had backed up. This goes well until the reboot then a message pops up saying something isn't working (too fast too read). I then get a blank screen.
Now I still have the same problem of how to put the data I had saved when I used twrp back on to my phone. I believe something in my data is corrupt which is why this is happening, but I'm not sure. Is there just a way to extract say the sms from the data I have saved, that's really all I need at this point. The backups made by twrp are in a format .WIN that I have never seen before and I would appreciate the help if someone can advise me what to do from here.
CM13.0 struck in Reboot loop
When I was browsing and doing some multitasking stuff..noticed that phone was lagging a bit .So i thought to reboot so that it would come out of that...But it completely struck in reboot loop forever.
please help me out of this issue.
Thanks in advance

Are you pressing the Vol down button and power button. Also I unscrewed the back of the phone to unhook the battery cable then I pressed the buttons. I found also, through trial and error on my phone, that you can hold down the buttons for too long so you have to watch and make sure on that. I found that you should hold the 2 button combo through the oneplus one boot logo and you'll see the lights dim then you let the buttons go and its worked so far at least on my phone.
Hi, it is an older device so you might have experienced everything possible.. so,
After a long time of trying to fix that phones mind, I wiped everything avaible in TWRP
multiple times(got mad). Last thing was data.
That way I went from a bootloop to an active nothing.
Phone does not react to any command, it does not react to USB charging or on PC.
That's the case a few months back, the phone halfway in the trash and I bought
myself a iphone (hate it).
I put the Galaxy S7 on a charger today and it starts immediatly in to TWRP.
From there I tried to install a ROM that's left on the SD card, which forced
a restart into TWRP. Into download mode I managed to install the stock Oreo ROM via Odin.
It went through like a charme, all green. PASS!
The phones screen is black and does not react to any command, nothing.
I had "auto-reboot" activated.
The phone is active it's warm and I'm waiting for the battery to die again, to restart.
..meanwhile,
Can you give some advice please?
Why would the phone have struggle with the boot with stock rom installed.(which has worked before,no updates installed)
When should I install TWRP?
When do I install what kernel?
Last thing running was the LightROM with moro kernel with nothing tweaked.
Also. The issue why i deaded the phone was a camera/flash thing, where I could only take pictures with flash activated.
Front and back camera. On all camera apps, I couldnt scan my ID for banking due to that.
Also on different kernels and different ROMs including the Samsung stock.
Why would that be
Could not accept...

OK so what you've done is correct flashing stock (which includes stock kernal). You have to make sure the stock ROM is correct for your device and region or it will not start.
It's not unusual to have to flash it twice with Odin.
Next up you don't need to wait for batt to die to restart. Press volume down+home+power and keep them pressed until phone restarts. Should now be in download mode, reflash correct ROM with Odin. TWRP is wiped off the phone when you flash a stock ROM.
If it doesn't go through the boot up/freezes/ does nothing etc. You need to "wipe cache" then reboot from the recovery menu.
Press and hold volume down+home+power. As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to volume up (it may take more than one attempt). Once your in recovery menu use volume up and down to move through options and power to execute. Wipe cache then reboot and allow the phone to go through all the reboot stuff. It can take a few minutes just leave it alone. It will also reboot a couple of times.
If it does nothing after 15 minutes then start again and repeat the process.
Thanks for reply.
The Phone was off for a day and after charging for 1h it still does not react to any command. Vol down + home + power does nothing. Same with vol up.
Is there a way to force a boot? Even if the PC does not recognize a device on usb?
I Tried the commands 30 secs each, plugged in and off. Also usb port is not broke since the phone is getting temperature after a while charging..
Hello,
Anyone else having problems after this update? I did it now and my phone does not start anymore. Or at least it hangs in the loading screen with the red and 2 white dots.
I shut it down with power and vol + twice but with no effect. It does not react on the power cable being inserted. When it's powered off and I insert the cable it starts to the loading screen, currently showing 14 %.
How to solve this?
Thank you!
I can boot into recovery or fastboot. Not sure how helpful that is though.
try to format data if you're able to go to recovery. as long you have recovery and fastboot intact, it's basically not ****ed up yet

But how can I save my data? I mean when I'm in recovery I have to enter the password before, so the data gets decrypted. But with USB attached I can only see 5 files on my desktop computer.
I emptied the battery and loaded it fully, then restarted. After a long time it say "This device has entered an unstable state. Please try rebooting your device using the exit button below..." and so on.
I hope a data recovery company isn't the only solution.
Also, is there no way to repair it? Like running the update again or something?
Why is there no „apply update from adb“ option in the recovery menu of OnePlus? Apparently I could have used that to backup all my data from the phone.
I tried wiping the cache partition without success so far.
So did Android squeeze security so much that not even the owner can save his data in this status now anymore? A bit sad when they themself break the phone with an update then.
What about these recovery services that also recover data from harddrives? Do they break the phone when they do their thing?
Hello everyone,
So I have a rare issue. I have a OnePlus 6. Today, it started to act really weird. It became so slow that even swiping on home screen with no apps opened takes like a minute to register. I forced power off the device. When powering on again, it seemed like it take around 10 minutes or so to boot. Again, extremely slow. I tried everything from restarting and clearing app cache while in the system itself but no luck.
So, next thing I booted to recovery mode, typed my pin, and cleared system cache and settings. It started to progress until just a tiny bit left before the end of the progress bar, and it got stuck again. Kept like this for a long time. I had to force power off the device again. Now, when I try to power on the device, it launches into Recovery Mode. I tried my pin but it wouldn't decrypt and looks like the device is no longer recognizing it. I tried a couple of "default passwords" but it wouldn't work either. It only gives the option to "Forget Password?" Which should wipe everything off the phone. The only other mode it launches into is Fastboot Mode. I'm using Stock everything and Device State is Locked. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Now my question is, is there any way I can open my device again without losing data? Maybe some way I can pull files using adb in that state then factory reset? Or maybe someway I can bypass Recovery Mode and boot again? I have important data that I can no longer access if the only way to fix this is by wiping everything!
Can anyone help? Much appreciated in advance.
When a phone permanently boots into Recovery mode then either Android OS is corrupted - for whatever reason - or phone's bootloader is misconfigured.
If phone is accessible by either ADB or Fastboot you can try to exit Recovery mode by forcing phone to boot into Android OS ( Normal mode AKA System ) by applying the related ADB and/or Fastboot command.
Hey,
I have got Xiaomi POCO X3 PRO NFC 8/256GB, most probably have android 11 MIUI 12.5.5 global, in EU. Been using automatic updatese. Please note, that I haven't flashed any custom software. Have been using vanilla OS since release and been updating it with automatic updates.
Suddenly my phone has entered bootloop state and I am not able to take it out of it since.
Latest action I have taken just before the problem started is that I connected my phone to charger during the game ( PGR) , while it was at around 40% charge. After short moment it has frozen and restarted the phone. Since then it has been constantly bootlooping with POCO icon and resetting again, turning off the screen and back to POCO icon - it has been for over 2 hours already. It doesn't feel that my power button is stuck.
Still can operate power + vol buttons reliably. I can access Fastboot and MIUI Recovery Menu 5.0, where I have 4 options:
1. Reboot - back to bootloop
2. Wipe data - haven't tried it yet
3. Connect to MIAssistant - TIL it is supposedly dead service?
4. Safemode - it brings me back to bootloop again
Tried to take out SIM and microsd, to no avail. Haven't tried to wipe out data until I try other solutions, to restore it, as I have some 2FA on it, which would be a pain to recover.
I haven't learned before around flashing and recovery for the last few years (only I have done it around android 4, 5 and 6). I would like request assistance - how to approach resolving this problem?
Currently I am reading on fastboot, which I believe might help me here, by connecting it to PC.
EDIT: Got around this https://xiaomiflashtool.com/tutorial/use-xiaomi-flash-tool and stock rom https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-poco-x3-pro , I believe it might work
EDIT #2: At 20.11.2022. At around end of october this issue started repeating out of nowhere. And then suddenly stop,
Then the phone bricked. Sent for warranty and just got it back.
Turns out that motherboard died and was the cause.

Thanks, will follow this to make back up and in case it occurs again.
Managed to resolve this problem by draining up my battery due to constant restarts(obviously can't pull out battery). After that happened, connected my phone to normal charger, juiced it up to 10% and phone started just fine.
I have tried to recreate this problem, however it didn't occur again.
