To take advantage of the warranty, you may need your device's serial number, which should be located on the original box the device came in (abbreviated often as "S/N") for the manufacturer to determine the device's warranty status. This can address boot-looping in some cases.īoot-loop problems not resolved by these steps will often necessitate repair or replacement of the smartphone in question, because there is often little the manufacturer or carrier can to do the diagnose the problem your phone is having when the phone refuses to start. If this does not work, a factory reset should be attempted - but note that this erases all data on the phone. Uninstalling recently-installed apps while in safe mode is the best next step in this case. Booting in "safe mode" successfully when a device is otherwise unable to start likely means a third-party application is causing your device to be unable to boot. The manufacturer can guide you through the specific process for this for your device, though guides for most common brands are available across the web, and the process is fairly simple for most phones. The manufacturer will likely advise you of some first steps to take: booting the phone in "safe mode" for example (process varies by manufacturer) or, if that fails, conducting a factory reset of the phone. Most smartphones sold come with either a one or two-year manufacturer's warranty. Your smartphone's manufacturer (i.e., LG, Samsung, HTC, Huawei, ZTE) or, if your purchased it from your service provider, the carrier (i.e., Verizon, AT&T, Vodafone, Three), may be the best chance you have at resolving a boot-loop, at least from an economic standpoint. Simply put, in such cases, there generally is no "fix" - you either replace the smartphone's entire main board to replace the bad storage, or replace the smartphone. That update could then attempt to write information to parts of the storage that only get written to during such an update, and if you have bad sectors in those areas, you could end up with a critical failure that renders the device unable to start up. In the event your smartphone's internal storage becomes damaged or corrupt, it's entirely possible that the problem can go unnoticed for months - until you apply a system update. Unfortunately, a system update leading to boot-looping may only be symptomatic of an underlying problem with your smartphone, not necessarily the cause in and of itself. Your instinct is obviously to blame the update: something has gone wrong, and the update your manufacturer or carrier provided is somehow "breaking" your device. The second one is, based on our observation, probably the most likely reason you're here: your phone installed a new system update / upgrade, and after the installation, the phone rebooted over and over. These will cover the most common causes of the "boot-loop" issue. A malfunctioning or malicious 3rd-party app prevents the device from booting.The device is physically damaged by water, electricity, or some other external force.The user attempts to apply custom software (a custom ROM, for example) incorrectly.A system update fails to apply correctly (potentially as a result of the above).The device's internal storage becomes corrupt or damaged.So, why do smartphones boot-loop? There are a variety of potential causes. SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Why does this happen?
