What is a boot loop?

A boot loop occurs when the device fails to write the software code properly to the system partition when flashing or updating to a newer software version. This happens mostly when the user itself tampers with the device, but may also happen due to sudden shutdowns while updating the phone. When your device goes into a bootloop, you won’t be able to access the UI since your phone will attempt to boot up and will fail every time. The only way out of this is to completely erase the system partition and write the software from scratch. This can be done using a few methods, including the Fastboot transfer method or using the recovery to flash an existing ZIP file.
