Providing a summary in the beginning, to help you understand the situation.
Summary: Left phone to charge overnight. Woke up to a bootloop stuck at the model name screen.
After a long night with friends, I came home with my phone at around 8% battery. Since I had a lot of work to do in the morning, I decided to charge it overnight and have a full battery to work with. However, things went upside-down as I woke up.
Sleepy me thinks it's just one of those auto-restart updates, but after over 30 minutes, it's still stuck at the model name. That's when I start to get worried. I boot it to the recovery, where "E: [libfs_mgr] is_dt_compatible (): firmware info was not valid : '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible: No such file or directory" appears at the bottom, followed by a "dm-verity verification failed..." message. I don't know why my phone's behaving like this or stuck in this loop since I use it only for simple things (messaging, calls, social media, browsing etc.).
The only way to turn the phone off when it's stuck in this bootloop is by holding the Volume Down + Power button for a few seconds while the phone is connected to the charger. Any other method, just results in it restarting and bootlooping all over again. I tried booting it into safe mode, but that too, obviously failed.
I live in India but for the better part of the last three years, I've been a student at a university here in Japan. My graduation is next week, and I'm scheduled to go back to India and work in mid-April. As a result, I've got a lot of items to sell, and to give up the house I lived in and complete the procedures that one usually does when exiting the country (bank accounts, insurance etc.). However, since I have a sim card here in Japan, a lot of the mentioned items are linked to it, making it difficult now that I can't use it.
I've so far wiped all data and cache on my phone, and it still won't boot properly. I'm really scared but holding it together. If any of you have any idea what to do with regards to this, please comment.
