I'm running twrp 2.6.0.0 and cm10.2 nightlies. I have no issues with the rom, everything works perfect. But just about every boot or restart it gets hung on the Samsung unlocked boot screen and I have to pull the battery,then the next time it gets past it. Also when I boot into twrp, it does the same thing. I pull the battery and then it finally boots into recovery. Almost always it works the second time but sometimes it take 3 or 4.
Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? It's done it to me with touchwiz roms too. Could it be an issue with Loki or twrp?
Here's a timeline:
-Got the phone, worked fine
-Unlocked bootloader, rooted & installed TWRP
-Installed unofficial Android 7 as described here
-After a couple of days I got tired of the bugs and decided to revert to Android 6.
-Installed unbloated rom, can't remember which one
-Phone worked fine.
-After a day or so of use, I rebooted the phone, and it would not go past Sony logo (black text on white background)
Here's what I have tried, in a somewhat chronological order:
-Holding combinations of up/down/power
-wiped dalvik/cache
-reinstalled same unbloated rom
-reinstalled stock rom through Flashtool (tried android 5.0 and 6.0 roms, neither worked)
-Completely wiped OS and reinstalled stock rom- up to this point I could still boot into TWRP
-Relocked bootloader and tried repairing through PC companion (said it was successful, but the phone is still stuck on Sony logo).
This is where I am at now. Any help would be appreciated, if I can provide additional data I will.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I don't know if it is relevant, but the phone always gets really hot- at least 70 degrees, sometimes up to 90 according to TWRP.
If it's stuck on the boot logo it's alive. Can you enter recovery, wipe every single partition and then flash ftf with wiping everything including cust-reset

The thing is, I can't get into recovery through holding the vol up and power buttons. When I do, the phone just vibrates once and reboots (or if I hold it longer, it vibrates 3 times and switches off).
Should I wipe everything through TWRP? Is there a way to wipe through adb?

Hi DavidMKD,
I'd like to answer as well because I'm stucking at the same point but with an E2333.
I've wiped every single partition by TWRP and then flashed with an official ROM downloaded from xperifirm.
No changes at all.
I'm wondering it is hard issue, maybe changing the battery ?
It is true as well that the side under the back camera it's very hot when the phone start.
I didn't find any advices works. The only way to talk correctly with the phone is to flash it or root it, then any OS are unusable, in my case 5 mn max.
If I can help to have another try in your experience...
Thx in advance
Hi guys,
I think I've found a turnover to arrange everything, described in a thread :

Hope it helps

I had flashed a custom ROM on my phone maybe a few months or a year back. I think I remember trying to reflash it trying to fix some bugs but it ended up getting stuck in a boot loop. I think after several tries it booted into TWRP recovery and I had factory reset it (these details might be a little fuzzy as I tried all of this months ago just never got around to posting this since I needed to focus on schooling) but now when I try to boot it, it just boots to the LG logo screen and gets stuck. I can boot into S/W upgrade mode and I had tried to restore it using the LG support tool but it recognizes it as the latest version and will not reset the phone. So right now I am at a loss and need some help to restore the phone and to hopefully flash it again. Thank you!
I'm using Moto C plus since past 2.5 years. Last week it suddently restarted. I thought it may be an issue of main memory full. So, let it to restart. But it went on a bootloop. I had more than 2GB free in internal storage. Then I wiped cache and tried booting. It booted successfully and then after 5-10 seconds it froze again and restarted and the bootloop continues. I tried wiping all data but no luck. I tried system root integrity check which failed. I flashed stock ROM again and started phone but the same issue continued. It boots successfully, I get home screen and then after 5-10 seconds reboots.
I thought of flashing custom ROM then. I flashed TWRP. While I was flashing zips using TWRP, TWRP itself restarted randomly. I somehow flashed DotOS and Ressurection Remix with GAPPS but same issue existed.
Now I'm back on stock ROM. Sometimes it boots successfully and then after using for 5-10 minutes it randomly reboots and get stuck in a bootloop freezing on Moto logo or Lenovo logo and then restarting.
What could be the issue here? Is there a hardware problem?
I was installing TWRP but something went wrong so I couldn't boot into the operating system then I tried installing the stock ROM with XiaoMiTool V2. it installed the wrong but it still did not work then I tried installing it with MI flash while using all the latest files but this also doesn't seems to be working whenever I try to flash my phone it takes forever and never complete the flash it just goes to 100% and keeps on going I have left it for about an hour did not work then I tried other versions of the same software but for some reason it just shows flash done within 3 seconds and then nothing happens to the phone everything remains the same any idea what can I do
