Question My phone is stuck in a boot loop

[xExotiik 7]

My Red Magic 8 Pro has been stuck in a boot loop for 2 weeks now and nothing I do fixes the problem. Everything else works: Fastboot, fastbootd, sideload, and recovery mode. But nothing I do will make the phone boot past the logo. This problem happened after trying to root the phone and I flashed the wrong image file. Any help is appreciated.

I tried this, but everytime I do it, the update gets to 47% and then it fails and kicks me back into the recovery mode.

I was able to see the phone error I got though:

Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
Update package verification took 172.9s (result 0).
Installing update...
Step 1/2
Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode: :kInstallDeviceOpenError)

Flash the recovery of the rom you want to sideload

Flash the recovery of the rom you want to sideload

I have flashed the entire payload.bin before. Idk if that's what made it to where I cant boot into the system. But just from flashing the boot.img file just made it to where it won't boot past the logo. I did flash recovery but it still won't boot past logo.

Also try to flash init_boot.img of the corresponding firmware

Flash the recovery of the rom you want to sideload then use sideload to flash that rom.

It still gives me (ErrorCode: :kInstallDeviceOpenError) and kicks me back to recovery mode. The cmd also says 'Total xfer: 1.00x'.

we launch the phone in fastboot and write in the address bar
fastboot flashing unlock_critical"

I did use the command. What do I do after that?

Try to flash the firmware again

Try to flash the firmware again

It still gives (ErrorCode: :kInstallDeviceOpenError) and kicks me to recovery. I am trying to use sideload to flash firmware. It also still stops at 47%.

Once in recovery.. Type "adb reboot sideload" then "adb sideload rom.zip"

You may need to format data.. You can do this from recovery or from fastboot "fastboot -w"

Oof.. Should have checked the date on this post

Sorry I haven't been on this website in awhile lol. And no I haven't found a solution yet.

I haven't been on this website in a while. And I already tried that. It gets halfway done and then cmd says "total xfer: 1.00x" and then the phone boots back into recovery.

Ok. I was facing the same issue. I tried to adb sideload rom.zip from language screen. It wouldn't work until I selected language and typed "adb reboot sideload" then "adb sideload rom.zip" once completed select optimize update from recovery, reboot

 

[xExotiik 7]

It just won't install the update for some reason.

That's what I did. I would choose my language and then launch adb sideload. Then I would try to install the update in adb sideload but it still says 'total xfer 1.00x' and kicks me back to recovery.
