Good day! I wanted to ask how to remove the bootloader for zenfone max (the old one 2015 model) without using the app from ASUS as I cannot really use my phone. It boots then restarts. I already tried Wiping/Factory Data reset and Wipe cache with the Power and Volume down (Is it Recovery mode?) but still bootloops, by the way when I factory reset, my phone showed "Unknown volume for path /factory". My friend told me it could be that my OS was corrupted. So here I am wanting to unlock the bootloader so I could install OS for my phone.
**Note1: Sometimes it would boot to the "Welcome!" screen, then when I reach to the Wifi selection, it would always restart.
***Note2: This bootlooping happened when I restarted my phone because my wifi suddenly couldn't connect. After I restarted, it looped.
Noob here btw. Sorry and I would be glad to provide additional information if needed be.

This morning I woke up and my Nexus was stuck on a boot loop. I tried to flash stock (choosing soft-bricked/boot loop) with the Wugfresh ToolKit but in the black command box I see the message/error that it is not available remotely for locked devices. I then went back and put the phone in the bootloader and tried to unlock it. I watch it as it says it is successfully unlocked, however as soon as it reboots automatically it gets stuck in the boot loop. If I power it off and the back on it is locked again. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks in advance.
So your bootloader is now unlocked? Did you try going into recovery and wiping cache, Dalvik, and data? Did you try flashing a stock rom manually?

No, it locks again when it (automatically) reboots and starts looping.

Is there a way to stop it from automatically rebooting after unlocking? If so, will that muck it up?

not being able to unlock is a sign your emmc memory is bad. I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do except warranty if you still have it. The mother board needs to be replaced.

Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.
I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x
I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.
Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.
Have exactly the same issue..Please help

So, I unlocked my bootloader, flashed a revolution recovery then I got my phone stuck on that screen. After a lot of tries and countless volume up and down random pressing I got the phone into e-recovery and I got it to work. The phone experienced
a lot of lag issues since then; so I tried a factory reset. The phone after reset had no keyboard but the google voice activated one.
So I relocked my bootloader and decied to try it again .... I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a TWERP recovery, and the phone got stuck again but this time for the life of me I can't get it to open.
It shows Huawei logo for 1 second then the screen that says:
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.

Your device is booting now..."
What to do?!

How? Can u fix it?
Hello guys this is my first post.
I have a SM-G930V Verizon S7 that previously was in bootloop with OREO, but constantly rebooted at the beginning of the setup I mean when it says hello and so on.
I flashed Nougat without problems and booted normaly but then the FRP was doing his work, I could not boot since I didnt know the email or password.
I then flashed a file that I found to bypass FRP and succeded. I finally got it working very well.
After a while when I tried to clean bloatware suddenly frozen and then never booted again, I wanted to root but couldn´t.
NOW when I flash any ROM from Marshmellow , Nougat and Oreo, it says PASS in ODIN but I cannot enter the recovery.
Vol+, Home and Power gives me a blue line top left saying RECOVERY BOOTING..... then a blue screen saying ERASING... and the reboots again and again. The menu that I can get is the Maintenance Boot Mode (Vol- Power). This menu has 4 items:
1.Normanl Boot, 2.Factory Reset, 3.Safe Mode, 4.Power Down, and the only who works is power down.
I don´t know how much batery is left because I don´t know if in this menu or in download mode the battery charges.
I flashed the last OREO from SAMMOBILE, I also flashed the ROM wich I grabbed when using VZW Software Upgrade Assistant which supposed to be repairing the device but nothing whatsoever.
I don´t have any new ideas my head is full and hot now. PLEASE HELP will be appreciated.
Hello dear friends.
My storie of problems;
I have a little problem. My phone was normal when i bought it, till i drop it a few times. It had a buff protective case, nothing appeared to be cracked outside, everything worked fine. Then i noticed random startups, reboots, freezing and in some cases pixels in the screen going black at warious places. Having some tech knowledge i said myself "If it wants to reboot, i shall reboot myself for one time", purpouse being to fix those issues. This was my first time with Xiaomi.
When I rebooted the phone, phone abviously did not open and said "There is no software in this device", i was confused obviously, 2 seconds ago i was using my unstable phone. Luckly(!) i was registered to unlock my phone when i bought it. With the Mi Unlock Tool, in Fastboot Mode, i unlocked my phone. I was happy to have a working phone but my warranty was expired i guess. Than it did the random rebooting actions, i was done with it at that time and did not wanted to install all the apps and data again.
Fews days passed and MIUI 11 released for my phone. It did not detect the Auto Update despite my other phone did, which i bought from the same retailler(for my Father, Redmi Note 6 Pro). So I waited untill the MIUI 11 stable released for Mi Flash Tool, I flashed it. When I opened the the phone and did a Factory Reset. While at the Factory Reset screen it gave me blank screen and did not finished the Factory Reset. I flashed the same stable rom from Mi Flash Tool and used it.
Then i noticed i cannot boot the phone to Recovery Menu. Clean Flash, Flashing other Stable Roms etc. I tried everything, but it does not want to boot to Recovery Mode. Only way i boot it to Recovery Mode or TWRP is wia ADB(from computer). It loops at MI logo when i try to do the usual(with buttons) entry to Recovery Mode.
And sometimes it opens a menu when i flash normal rom and gives a button saying Reset Phone & your data is corrupted etc., a screen like Factory Reset mode. Still does not enter to the Recovery Mode, reboots and freezes.
My two cents, do not buy this phone or Xiaomi. If anyone knows a way out of this, that would be great and i would appericiate it.
Try orange fox recovery
