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.
Hi guys,
I own an InFocus m810 and had flashed a marshmallow based rom. It was all working fine until after 6 months my phone started to hang a lot so I decided to factory reset it... I tried to go to twrp but it wasn't going to recovery mode like it used to (by holding power and volume up buttons together) so I downloaded quick boot from play store and booted into recovery there I wiped my dalvik cache and all the files then I flashed supersu zip and rebooted but it's still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to go to recovery mode by trying all the combinations (vol up+ power, vol down+power,etc) but in vain... I even tried to flash my stock rom again by going to fast boot mode but it isn't even going to fast boot mode so that my pc can recognize it but it doesn't work.. when I press vol up+power(combination for recovery mode) it restarts and again go to boot logo and get stickers there... I looked over entire internet but everywhere it's telling to flash rom or wipe cache etc... but I can't even go to recovery and fast boot to wipe cache or flash rom please help me thanks.. i have an unlocked bootloader...
UPDATE: I can now access revovery (twrp) but when i cleared dalvik cache and went to reboot page it says no os installed...now i am worried to reboot it as i could loose access to recovery.... i cant find any recovery flashable rom ... there are some roms but they are only SUT(software upgrade tool) flashable any help would be appreciated..
Hello XDA Community,
I just got a Galaxy A40 (SM-A405FN/DS) and flashed TWRP.
Everything was going well, so I decided to try to flash an unofficial LineageOS GSI.
I followed some instructions I found on a website:
- Wipe Vendor, Dalvik/ART cache, Wipe Cache, Data, System, Internal Storage using TWRP Advanced Wipe
- Flash Image to System Partition (Used: lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.xz)
- Reboot & Pray
I am now stuck in a bootloop, sometimes I am able to start TWRP, but I have tried to flash other images but wasn't successful.
(Loop: Bootscreen -> Warning (Press Power Key) -> Bootscreen -> Blackscreen (Reboot))
I am currently downloading the stock image.
How can I enter recovery mode? Is there anything else I can try?
Got the same goal, installing a Lineage GSI ROM. But... I got stuck in a bootloop just like you after flashing TWRP.
You have any tips getting out of it?
Solution: Okee, I drained my battery first. Then I pressed volume up and down together and connected it to my pc. This way I got it in download mode. (thank god!)
So i managed to get into download mode after being stock in restart loop by holding off button. When screen got black, i plugged my phone into my pc and pressed volume up and down buttons. It worked. I am a genius.
Anyone managed to get a custom ROM to work on that device ?

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND THX ALOT
I have a galaxy A7 2018 (SM-A750F) that I wanted to root. I flashed the specific TWRP recovery .tar file for my device using Odin, but I pressed the volume up + power key before the success message appeared on Odin. Now I'm stuck in a TWRP bootloop when the homepage of the TWRP mode flashes (basically just the logo and the version number) for a few seconds, then a black screen appears and the phone reboots back into the same mode when I press volume down and power keys. Eventually, the TWRP homepage screen flashes on and off and the logo appears to be distorted.
I tried accessing my phone using adb, but it shows that no devices are connected, and I made sure to enable USB debugging before the whole process. Could the usb port have been damaged because of the process? It was 100% functional.
My phone is also overheating, even when it is turned off.

I don't really know what to do at this point. I even tried tapping on the black screen but no short vibrations occurred, so I guess the whole TWRP mode is corrupted. Any help would be best welcome!
Same issue and my phone's os is bricked so I can't even boot to the os / boot loader / download manager to flash stock files

Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
