Steps to Try When Android is Stuck in a Reboot Loop

Steps to Try When Android is Stuck in a Reboot Loop

By Mitch Bartlett 114 Comments

I experienced quite a few reboot loops as an avid Android user. There can be many causes for an Android stuck in a reboot loop. Hopefully, this tutorial will fix yours. These exact steps seem to solve the problem for me most of the time.

1. Remove the Case

If you have a case on your phone, remove it. This will ensure there are no buttons or sensors impeding the function of the phone.

2. Plug into a Wall Electric Source

Ensure your device has enough power. Plug it into a wall outlet. You may need to let it sit plugged in for a few minutes before performing the next step.

3. Force Fresh Restart

Press and hold both the “Power” and “Volume Down” buttons. Do this for about 20 seconds or until the device restarts again. This will often clear the memory, and cause the device to start normally.

4. Try Safe Mode

Wait for the manufacturer name to appear on the screen while it’s booting, then press and hold “Volume Down“. This should place the device into “Safe Mode”. If the device starts successfully in Safe Mode, you may have to uninstall problematic apps or undo a setting that may have caused the issue.

 

If you’re a Nexus 5X user, there is a known bootloop issue with the phone. See our post about it for more info.

    This did not work for me. It kept going back into recovery mode. And I keep getting the message, Security Error; This phone been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked, Call your mobile operator for additional support.

    My phone is stuck in a reboot loop and nothing is working. I tried to push the power button and the volume down button at the same time but nothing happened. I can turn it off, but other than that, nothing works. What is my next step? I am at college so I am worried about not being able to get in contact with my family with my phone not working.

    Nothing works.
    It just flashes for the “ad face”: The red M in a circle and android to black and back.
    Before this I restarted it and it got stuck in this mode.
    Pressing the Power button does nothing.
    Pressing the Volume up or down button does nothing.
    I don’t know how to get the battery out?

    OH MERCY THIS WORKED!!!! This was an amazing guide on how to save your phone! i was furious when it began to freak out-the same small orange shape flashing me and taunting me. I had gone onto SHIEN- a fashion website as recommended by a friend.

    GLITCHED
    HARDCORE
    like I was looking at a cute skirt one moment and the next my phone had an aneurysm. I was irritated at first since it wouldn’t back out but then it began to flash and cause problems.. for 30 minutes I wrestled with the plague in my device and frantically researched ways to solve my conundrum.

    ALAS
    MY RELIC
    MY GRACE
    MY MERCY
    MY CALVARY!!!!!

    worked like a dream. seriously whoever made this I pray you are blessed and have a never ceasing joy in your life bacause of this life saver.

    Have a Samsung Core Prime – Yes I know it is an older low level phone but it is all I need for calls and a few texts, pictures.
    Recently it started flashing multiple screens then shut down and restart, shut down and restart. It drains the battery to zero. The only thing that stops it is plugging it into the charger. It has been doing it off and on since Halloween.

    Any idea what the problem might be? Hate to get a new phone if there is a fix for this issue.

    Thank you so much. I thought I had bricked my phone. I tried to uninstall Google Play Music and YouTube Music at pretty much the same time, and then I tried to download Spotify before either one finished. They were all taking a strangely long time, but I thought it would be ok. I set my phone down, and the next thing I know, I hear it turn on, and it never gets past the Metro splash screen. I couldn’t get it to turn off or restart, so I thought I was screwed. But the force restart got it to work again. I’m not sure what made it do that, though; whether it was uninstalling Google Play Music, which is installed by default, or some combination of uninstalling 2 apps while also trying to install another one. Anyway, thank you.

    OMG THANK YOU. I’ve been stuck in a loop where my Huawei nova 5T has been wanting to download a backup or to a factory restart where all my stuff would be deleted. This happened after I tried to update it and the pin code that I know is right hasn’t worked. Generally a lot of annoying stuff which I’ve been using all day on. APPARENTLY, I SHOULD HAVE JUST TRIED A SAFE RESTART OF WHAT YOU CALLED IT SO JUST THANKS A LOT DUDE

    My Samsung Galaxy S5 went into a recovery bootloop after taking pictures and it shutdown due to battery drain,. I tried all the different menu options except OS specialty fix. It keeps starting over unless you leave it on recover screen. stays on , but charge light is not blinking.. This is its second battery. The battery is two yaers old. the phone started freezing and slowing down despite me removing apps, cleaning, cache, and dumping files. Tried holding down different sets of buttons, just have not tried a fresh battery. I just ordered a new phone, but my contacts were not backed up by boost mobile.

    October 2, 2020 at 5:20 pm

    My phone is an LG V20,

    Before it went into its loop, it said that the Hi-Fi feature (which only functions when an audio device is plugged into the phone’s audio port) was turned on.
    I was baffled as to why it would say that, but I also knew that the audio jack was very unstable for some time, for when I plug something into it (say earbuds or headphones), it doesn’t read the device.
    Any audio jack I plug in has to be in a certain position for audio to be played at all, and that audio’s overall quality (from the port) was progressively getting worse.
    At the time, I was annoyed that this happened since I had been streaming something while listening through the phone’s speakers, and I couldn’t press play since the phone thought there was a device plugged in, while ALSO stuck in that protocol where it auto pauses after a jack is unplugged. So I thought that a simple reset would resolve the issue.

    The phone hasn’t fully booted since the 3rd (or 2nd?) week of Sep. 2020.

    It shows LG’s logo, powered by android, and that’s it. It turns off shortly after, then does it again in an endless loop. And even though I followed the steps, they unfortunately have not helped me; For step 3, the phone said it was going into recovery mode, but then went back to looping. And step 4 didn’t show a hint of success.

    I haven’ t brought it to any professional help since the incident (as of when this comment was typed).

    Please help me :'(

    July 28, 2020 at 11:48 am

    THIS ADVICE DOESNT ALWAYS HELP!!! I found a fool proof way to stop the boot-loop on an android. My android (note 8) always goes on a boot-loop when it’s over heated (when it’s charging usually). So a way to save your phone before it goes on a loop, is to take it off charge when it’s getting hot and take off the phone case. If it has already gone on a boot loop (this happened to me twice while I was asleep and left my phone on charge), then chuck your phone in the fridge or freezer for a minute or two. When it restarts, turn it off (by pressing the off button for a few seconds) and wait a little. I noticed that the boot loop started happening after my phone went through a lot of mandatory updates. Samsung is either purposely ruining my phone through these updates, or my phone can’t handle all the updates (it’s like 2 – 3 years old)

Mostly, my phone is stuck in a bootloop where I turn it on, and after about 10 to 20 seconds it restarts until I have enough time to physically turn it off or remove the battery. What should I do? I’ve tried a few different “fixes” but nothing seems to be working.

    On my huawei p10 lite this did not help. When I press volume down and power together I get fastboot and rescue mode.This battery is new but all of this can only happen when the phone is on a power cable, if not it wont switch on. When on , it is stuck on the reboot mode. When the huawei logo appears it goes off and on again in that loop….please help.

    My phone will last for a couple of hours then overnight it gets stuck in a boot loop all I hear all night is the sound of it switching off multiple times until I wake up to the restore page saying I should factory reset. I have factory reset every day for the past two weeks to no avail, I tried safe mode I tried those *#2.. codes and still my phone is effed.. it’s not even an old phone

    When starting up my phone. (V30) I found it gets stuck on the “unlocking” screen While its still encrypted. It accepts my password/pattern but it then it just spins the blue line around the lock forever and ever. Putting it in safe mode did not fix this.

    I fixed my phone woo it was stuck on the android recovery page and my phones voulume buttons only sometimes work. I tried to reboot it but each time it ended up on the same reboot page so I tried factory resetting it that didn’t help much so I simply followed this page and pressed my volume down and power button till my screen went black and it worked sad I lost my data but that’s just fine with me I’m glad this worked =D

    Hi Technipages,

    I have an older phone LG K7 on Metro PCS. The first screen comes on but then it fails to go to the next screen so I can enter my pin code to sign in and log on.

    I have photos in my phone gallery that I don’t want to loose. Very important from the campaign.

    Do I have to get a new phone or can this one be saved?? How can I get my photos out of the phone and into the Google cloud??

    And lastly I can’t access my G mail account because it’s tied to my phone # & the phone won’t work!

    It’s all a big mess!!

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving!

    Best always, Robin C.

    Regardless of what button I push, the only option is factory reset. No discovery mode and no safe mode only factory reset. This is why I don’t like Android. Didn’t jailbreak the device, only downloaded apps. No more Android phones for me.

    I have a ZTE axon 7. I replaced the battery and it won’t turn on. All it does is beep every 30 sec or so, and the red light comes on when it does. I’ve tried the power button/volume button thing, but can’t get anything to come up on the screen. I’ve had it plugged in to the charger for hours and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have an LG V30 (ThinQ.) This might be a bit off topic, but this was the only place I found that I can talk to someone. About the Force Reset/Restart I always have to do it almost every time I wake my phone up/turn it on. Is there a reason why I doesn’t turn on unless I do a force reset?

    I WAS ABLE TO FIX THIS WITHOUT WIPING!!! This requires close following of instructions, and a little bit of technical skill, but is worth it if you don’t want to factory reset your phone.

    tl;dr: Use the first link in this post to fix your phone. If you’re on a nexus or pixel phone, use the second link for the android files, if you’re on a different type of phone you’ll have to find a different version.

    After calling google and them providing no help whatsoever, I looked for several hours into how to pull some files off my device without wiping it since they were not backed up. This is basically not possible without having at least turned on developer settings prior to the update, and ideally without having rooted the device (not recommended, also not possible without having at least developer settings on.

    So I decided to try some other versions of android. While a phone is stuck in a bootloop, you can restart it in fastboot by holding down the power button until it restarts, and then holding down the volume down button. This puts it into a mode called fastboot. From there, you can use the volume keys to navigate to Recovery Mode, and press the power button to select. Inside that, select “Apply update from ADB”. ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, which basically means your computer can communicate with your phone through a USB cable. Generally you can do a lot within this mode, but since we got to it while the phone was off, all you can do is install different versions of android. Here is an article detailing how to get into this mode and then how to sideload a different android version: https://9to5google.com/2018/08/06/how-to-sideload-android-9-pie-ota-google-pixel/

    My phone got stuck in bootloop while updating to android 10 on my pixel 2, so I tried sideloading a couple versions of android Pie. This site has various other images (versions) of android for nexus and pixel phones, though you can find other phones’ images from other sites: https://developers.google.com/android/images. Basically you want an “OTA” (over the air) image, because that means it will not wipe the device when sideloading. For my phone, I tried the latest two versions of android 9, with no luck. Each time returned a bootloop. In one last attempt, I thought that maybe the bad version of android 10 was “QP1A.190711.019”, so I tried “QP1A.190711.020”. I restarted my phone and it booted up!

    Hopefully this helps others who were in the same situation as me. If it works, you should definitely back up your phone as soon as possible.

    My phone is itel 1407.
    Whenever it is switched off and turned on it does display on the screen “welcome” as the first thing and requires you to search for Wifi , update , input your email address and eventually have it opened completely and all the that might have been saved on phone internal storage will be wiped away automatically .
    I update the phone and the problem keeps on repeating itself over and over and currently more than 95℅ of the whole 8gb storage is claimed to be used up by the system when in actual sense it use to be 2.9 GB to 3 GB use to be occupied by the system and often it fails to switch on but if it does then it will keep up showing loading and switching off itself over and over

    I have an Alcatel 7. I did all the steps. For this phone I have to put in a password before the phone finishes starting. When it took me there it said the phone was in safe mode than it did the same thing and went to the process of turning on and continued to stay on that. I haven’t even had this phone for a month. What do i do now?

    My Motorola android phone just started restarting on its own even when the battery was at full charge. it keeps rebooting to the blue start up screen. I have done the pressing down and holding the power and volume buttons until the black screen comes up. it says to connect to a USB port, so its connected to my computer as we speak. every mode I try to put it on, it does nothing. Going to factory, restore, etc… and nothing. just restarts again. It does start and asks for my password. other than that. it does nothing else. Can you help me fix this, or is my phone garbage now? I have gotten it bran new for Christmas and didn’t start using it until Feb 2019. I can use as much help as possible. I really like this phone, and it has so much important stuff on there.

    Please help!
    Thank you!

    I have an alcatel acndroid phone. My phone was doing a system upgrade when it froze for about twenty mins. I tried to reset the phone and it just shut off. everytime I try and reset or turn it back on it just goes to secure reboot failure. I tried to charge without the case and its still showing the same thing.
    What else can I do to make this phone work?
