Hi,
after restarting my phone today it all of a sudden is stuck while booting. About 1,5 Years ago I flashed cyanogenmode (6.0 I believe) and it has been working fine until today. Now it's just stuck at the boot screen. Sometimes it even says "preparing X out of Y apps" but just restarts again after that. What could be wrong here? What can I do?
I can still open twrp at least. It is very important that I can restore my phone numbers (and whatsapp groups). Data is important too of course but when I'm at twrp I can connect my phone to my computer so that should be fine.
Maybe someone has an answer how I can restore my phone without flashing it again (if that will work at all). If I could restore my phone numbers safely I might be thinking about upgrading to Android 8 though.
I have one more general question. If I flash a Kenzo Rom to my Kate phone will I brick my phone or will it just not be able to boot (wich can be fixed). I have wondered about that one since I got my Kate.

i had the same...
my phone bootlooped.. 1 week later my mom redmi note 3 also... we both had RR on it.. i was lazy and didnt reflash it directly. then i unlocked bootloader and flashed miui. for my mom and me RR and i meesed up my phone again... and was not motivated to fix it again.
now xiaomi messed up the unlock bootloader... and i cant unlock it anymore... so now im stuck on miui with no root no twrp.... has been like this since 2018..
Try flashing LAZY Flasher it might boot up.
Have you managed to solve this OP? The exact same thing has just happened to me out of nowhere. I was also running CM, although my phone is Kenzo, rather than Kate.
It's been so long since I did any flashing/updating etc. that I've completely forgotten what the hell to do :crying:
EDIT:
I've managed to restore a backup.

Hi, first of all sorry about my english. Well my brother bought a moto g and he previously owned a galaxy s2, as he wont need it anymore he wants to sell it, and allready sold it, so he asked me to make a factory reset. So here starts the problem, yesterday at night I went to configuration -> restore and backup (or something like that) and restored it, I gave him the phone and told him to let it finish, he came back like 30 mins after saying that the phone was just like I left it, and it wont finish, so I removed the battery to turn it off, when I tried to turn it on again it was stuck on a bootloop.
I thought "ok lets wipe/restore it by entering to the recovery menu", made that, wiped everything, turned off, and on again, and it was bootlooping again.
Then I was convinced that something where wrong with the rom, that maybe the phone was softbricked or something, so I downloaded a stock rom, (I had odin previously installed becouse I had a s2 like 1 year ago) and tried to flash the rom with odin. It got stuck on Setup connection, tried another cable, the same, tried another usb port the same.
I downloaded the latest odin version and tried again, but no it gets stuck on boot.img if I try to flash a full pda, or in zimage if I try to install a kernel (I tried to install a custom kernel like siyah to have cwm and flash a custom rom by the recovery menu).
I red that the last option was to make a repartition with a pit file, and that it was very risky because it may brick the phone. Was my last hope so I made it, odin flashed it without a problem so then I thought the problem was solved and now I could flash a stock rom.
Again I was wrong, I still cant flash anything, I dont know wtf is going on, it seems that I cant write anything on the phone, like it has a sort of "lock" like a micro sd adapter.
Please someone help me, becouse I tried EVERY single method mentioned in this forum and I dont know what to do, Ive owned a defy, galaxy s2, nexus 4, nexus 5, I softbricked them all and I always could repair it, but now I dont know what to do. Thanks

Hey guys,
So my problem started 2 days ago.I had lollipop from the archi weekly and the last update i suddenly got random reboots and later that day it started with a constant boot loop and if i get lucky i can start my phone for a minute and then again the same thing.So i had problems with going to recovery/download mode even there i got boot loops.However,i took another battery from a friend of mine and i managed to get in recovery and delete dalvik/cache.But didnt work.So i read and realized i had to install stock rom and i did now i am with jelly bean and even now i sometimes get boot loops and after a while everything is fine.So i have a coupe of questions:
1.Is it possible that the problem might come from the battery?
2.Even now with this rom my sim card is not working,i cant call anyone how can i fix it?
3.How to fix everything ?
Thank you.
Edit: i did also a factory reset.
1. A broken battery max causes random boots. A broken power-button too. Test it with your friend's battery.
2. You probably lost your IMEI.
when i write *#06# i have IMEI number so i guess this means i havent lost it?
Compare with IMEI on label behind battery. If it's the same, you win.
well is not the same so i dont win what does it mean?
It means, it's a factory-IMEI: worthless.
Perhaps this helps.
Hello all.
I´m pretty desperated at this point. No matter what, my phone (LG G2 mini D620k, I have 2 years with it) keeps bricking. Keep in mind I´m a noob in this world, so I´m looking for help here.
This started like 2 months ago, it bricked so I searched on Internet and did the hard reset. It worked well, for a while. I downloaded all my usual apps without rooting it, then suddenly: bricked.
Another hard reset, and again, it worked. So someday it started freezing, apps closing, so in like a week I used 10 times the LG Mobile support tool to fix errors. It fixed the phone but just for 1-2 days. So again, I did factory reset (this time from the phone, it wasn´t bricked), rooted it, debloated it, and worked fine for 48 hours. Last night it again, from nothing, bricked.
Did hard reset again. I'm asking here: what is wrong with the phone? What is causing this? Is an app? Too many apps? Hardware? Battery?
I love my phone but I´m tired of sitting 3 hours every 2 days fixing it. Cannot afford a new phone or looking for specialized help, so I´m asking here for help.
Keep in mind I´m a noob in this. Can someone help me?
Sorry if this matter is already answered, I did a search and found nothing like this.
Sorry for my bad english.
When you say "bricking" do you mean bootlooping (the LG boot animation keeps playing)?
If so, try to capture a logcat while it's bootlooping via adb. Let it capture for a minute, or so. Then send it to me.
Then, pull out the battery for a couple of seconds, put it back in and power up the phone. Does it still bootloop?

I have the same issue!! I've tryed every CM Rom, custom roms, stock roms and now latest RR, and still the same problem. After flash I install only FB, Messenger and Insta (it's girlfriend's phone) and after 1-2 days phone gets bootloop (only RR logo). I have to do hard reset and flash again whole system to work properly again (for a few days).
I gave my G2Mini to service (not LG Service) but they said that its motherboard issue (probably some boot memory is broken and has memory "leaks") But I think that it cant be this. If this is possible I would try to flash whole system on SD card not internal memmory, maybe this will work
help!

Grab a logcat via adb.
Install adb and Google's drivers (for custom ROMs, LG's for stock ROMs).
Let it record for a minute and give it to us.
I managed to install CM13, worked fine for a month I guess... started with random bugs "x app stopped working". So I restarted the phone and it's in eternal logo when I turn it on.
Since I'm a totally noob at this, I can't find a noob-friendly guide to make it work again.
:crying:

Wipe /data in recovery.
If that doesn't work, reinstall the ROM and 'pico' OpenGApps

Managed to connect it to my laptop (I could't before), used LGMobile support tool, back to original rom. I guess it will be matter of time to get same errors as before. At least it works again... idk for how long :s
Hard life for a android n00b :x
update:
it freezes suddenly (started in the middle of a skype videocall).
I'm starting to suspect it's a ram problem. Any ideas?
I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?
Nope just threw away this phone and bought new one

Hey guys, I've got a very weird problem with my phone which started just after I updated to MIUI 13.. It turns off by itself randomly.
It does it while browsing, texting, etc.. and even when locked. No matter if its charging or on battery. The only situation it doesn't turn off is when playing games, benchmarking or any other heavy task which is very weird as I thought the battery might be on its way out but it doesn't make sense if it works fine with heavy tasks...
The device is 3 months old but recently I replaced the display and the warranty is void now obviously, so I can't use that..
What I tried so far:
- Factory resetting, nothing changed
- Tried with the OEM safe mode, nothing changed
- I downloaded the same update again and flashed it throught the OEM recovery, nothing changed
- I'll try to make a clean install of the ROM when im able to unlock the bootloader which is of course after 7 days
Could it be a hardware issue and.. what it might be? The phone is working absolutely fine besides that random shut off - perfomance is the same, battery life is the same, no freezes ..nothing.
The other issue im experiencing and I've read alot about this is that my touch screen sometimes (rarely) is unresponsive. It just freezes, the phone is alright but I can't press on anything..
If it is software issue, how can I resolve it? Should I clean install the 13.0.4 rom or older?
edit.. i don't think it is actually shutting of but rather the display going black and unresponsive to any buttons as to restart it I must hold the power button more than 10 seconds
And also, I'm new to the forum, sorry if i posted this in the wrong section and excuse my bad english, I'm not a native speaker. Thank you
it's a firmware bug....do clean flash and pray it disappear..do fastboot clean flash

Thank you, I'll try when the bootloader is unlocked.. Meanwhile, I'm really worried about this being a result of the screen replacement? Could that be the issue? The screen works absolutely fine, keeps 90hz refresh rate, no glitches or artifacts.. Should I bring the phone back to the shop where I changed the display?
I confirmed that this is indeed a software bug. After factory reset, I kept the mobile data and wifi off so it can't update the apps and for 2 hours there were no signs of the problem UNTIL i turned the WiFi back on, the setup finished, updated the apps and my phone crashed in 10 mins. No idea which app causes this or why, but atleast its not hardware related. I'll try to reflash the 13.0.4 through OTA again and see if the problem persists.. If so, i wont have phone for the next 7 days because of the bootloader lock.. Thanks Xiaomi

flash with fastboot.. i think it's possible even locked..
Factory default and not restore apk, the problem could be any apk that did not work on miui 13.
Its not possible to flash with fastboot on locked bootloader. I tried several times it just refuses anything. I also couldn't manage to manually sideload OTA rom in recovery and I wouldn't risk it through the updater app because of the crashes..
I left my phone overnight with data turned off and it never crashed again.. I hope this get fixed after the clean flash because I really like MIUI13 and don't want to roll back
Same here. No any response from MIUI yet.
My Weekend is Trash. and my Data broken.
MIUI 13 Lockscreen Crash!
Hello guys, after I got my bootloader unlocked, i tried flashing several ROMs both china and EEA with MiFlash (clean all option) and it still crashes the phone randomly... I don't know what to do anymore. The only time phone can sit turned on without crashing is in fastboot and when booted but plugged in to computer (idk what is this about).. What should I do? I'll try to downgrade to 12.5 EEA stable with Mi Flash but is this clean install or should I do it with twrp?

Fastboot only
Im stuck in bootloop after downgrading to MIUI 12.5 EEA (the version i was on previously before miui13) via fastboot. The phone restarts after the boot logo and no matter which ROM i reflash it doesn't go beyond that.. Any advice? Tried factory resetting after flash but no result
Guys, no matter what I do, i cant bring the phone to life again. It reaches the MI logo, stays there for 10 seconds and screen goes black. I tried flashing EEA, Global, China, many versions all through fastboot. They flash with success, no errors at all but when rebooted it is stuck at the boot logo... Please help! I can still boot to stock recovery/twrp and fastboot. What can I do???
MiFlash log
I just tried the services of the telegram guy who does EDL flash over teamviewer. The flash finished with success but the same problem still persist and not only that, now It goes straight to fastboot without a chance to even boot in recovery...

Thats what I did, it never turned on until yesterday. A miracle happened and the phone booted but after 5 mins it crashed again... Wtf might be the problem with it. The only time it doesn't turn off is when its plugged to a computer with switched on debugging. I can't wrap my mind around it, are there any crash logs that I can read? Logcat doesn't show anything in help
please help me. after miui 13 ota update my phone is restarting every 10 seconds.
when it is in homescreen everything is here,but the message from android says update is finishing and automatically it restarts.it is stock rom,no bootloader open,
All original
i have data,that i want to save,but i cant. is there a way ? Maybe from recovery or fastboot or anywhere? But first i need to transfer the data to the laptop
I have the same problem, after doing anything that can make the phone hot if I block it it restarts but if I don't block it it continues to work fine so if you find a solution I would like you to tell me

did you ever tried install Twrp and a custom ROM ?
Hi,
So I've had a lot of trouble getting TWRP flashed to this phone. After a bunch of tries I got stuck in a bootloop but I was still able to enter fastboot and recovery. I then flashed the stock fastboot ROM which fixed it and I was able to get back into the system.
I then hooked it up to my laptop again, but when I went to turn it off to get back into fastboot mode it just doesn't do anything except bootloop. I get to see the Redmi logo for a few seconds, and then it just endlessly reboots.
I can't enter fastboot nor the recovery, otherwise this would've been an easy fix. I also can't turn off the phone. Does this mean I'm ****ed? I saw the post before me where somebody seems to have the same issue, but their phone doesn't show anything on the screen at all, which is why I'm not sure if I hard bricked it or not.
It's strange too, because I have plenty of experience flashing bootloaders and ROMs, even with other Xiaomi phones, but this one has been a pain in the ass from day one. I made sure to not use anything not meant for my region (EEA) or phone model (Camellian) so I have no clue what went wrong. Any ideas?

I think you are on the wrong forum, this is for Redmi Note 10 (mojito/sunny)
