Ever since I updated a CM11 theme and rebooted my device, it ended up in a boot loop. The strange thing is that it can boot up to the lockscreen, but after that, it is in a boot loop until the battery is drained. I tried using Safe Mode, but after lockscreen, it reboots again and again.
What is the button combination to go into recovery from power-off mode? And is there a way to fix the problem from recovery?
Recovery should be Power + Volume Up. If you have a backup you can restore with CWM; otherwise you can use adb push to send zips to flash.

Hi, I had a problem when trying to swith from BMM to Safestrap; I lost the recovery and the ROM didn't boot.
I used RSD Lite to flash the original fastboot, and the process was ok, but after installing the ROM stucked in the bootanimation (not the initial boot logo)
So I restarted to stock recovery and made a factory reset. And then it get in a bootloop, only reaching the boot loho (not the bootanimation)
And I'm not really sure if I pressed power + vol- or both vol- and vol+, but the phone rebooted and started to work.
The stock ROM is working, but I have a "safe mode" stick on the botton of the screen, and I don't know if I can root it again or I need to change something before doing that.
Thank you!
I have tried EVERY thing literally.
my situation: -
my home button has stopped working. -
i was on neat ROM 7.0 and i flashed boeffla 2.3 ng beta 1-
it caused a boot loop/it just didn't boot up.
and because i don't have a home button i could not boot into recovery.
i have a jtag usb that boots into download mode.
usually when you flash a recovery via odin it auto reboots into recovery.
however this doesnt happen on my end
i have flashed CWM, TWRP, PHILZ and STOCK recovery however none auto reboot into recovery
i have checked a lot of forums regarding this but nothing works.
i flashed two different stock firmwares however they both boot into a boot loop
i also flashed boefflas kernel through odin but still boot loop
my phone vibrates the capacitive button lights up then stays on the Samsung logo
every 2 mins or so it repeats that process again.
i don't know if i have missed anything but please someone help me
as you can see i think i have probably tried everything.
i have checked on other threads and forums that a possible fix is to wipe data in recovery mode
however i do not have a home button so i cant use the button combination to access it
So I flashed a new ROM by the Spanish guys at Team Force (great looking ROM), via CWM, and so naturally I got the boot loop problem.
Normally solvable by turning off the phone, booting into recovery and then performing a factory reset, right?
Here's the problem - this appears to be one of the only android cellphones in existence where you CAN'T boot into recovery using the normal power + volume key combinations.
Essentially, I've bricked the phone without actually REALLY bricking it.
Did I miss anything, or does it sound like a quick end of line for this phone?
Edit: Well, if I connect my phone via USB and have ADB running in the background, holding the volume up key during the boot loop does bring up recovery mode.
It seems to me that the installation of said ROM simply doesn't fully complete before it tries to reboot itself, which could be why this is happening.
So I was experimenting with some customization tools (gravitybox, some other twrp modules) and everything was fine. Then I installed a custom layer I downloaded from the Play Store on Layer Manager and now the phone boots into the stock wallpaper, the screen is flashing, yellow led constantly on, there are no buttons anywhere, I can't do anything, the only command he can do is the screen used to turn the phone off, and even with that I've tried booting into safe mode and it's the same. I wanted to make a factory reset on TWRP but I can't even boot into recovery, it just shows the MI logo and boots normally. I also tried fastboot flashing TWRP again and although it flashes well the normal boot remains. Can someone help me?
EDIT: I managed to boot into TWRP, I was doing it wrong after all. I will reflash the ROM.

If you're able to access twrp somehow, flash the rom again and just wipe cache and dalvik cache. You won't lose any data at all.
Edit - I don't think layers can mess with your recovery. Fastboot flash recovery and try booting into it by pressing volume up and power button. If that doesn't work.. Press power button and both volume up and down and see if it boots into recovery. Once it does, just flash the rom without wiping data.
Boot into TWRP & Mount "System"
Using File Manager navigate to /system/overlays
Delete all files one by one inside overlays folder
Reboot to system
I flashed a custom rom on my Android device, but on trying to reboot it, the device doesn't boot up and gets stuuck in the boot screen. Even the [Volume up + Power] or [Volume down + power] brings me to the same stuck boot screen. I can neither go to the recovery mode, the factory reset mode, nor can I enter in the fastboot mode. I have the full backup of the device, but I find no way to restore it, even ADB doesn't work. Is there any fix for this problem?
Everything I did priror to this:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed the "patched boot image" for root with Magisk
Some tweaking after root, for better battery life
Flashed the custom ROM.
After then the phone doesn't boot up. Any hhelp would be highly appreciated.

I think it's a case for the electric waste.
