Keep us posted when you do.
Has your battery been showing signs of dying before the boot loops started?
Facing boot loop issue on mi note 7 pro
Out of the blue phone shutdown and kept on booting with the MI symbol flashing again and again.
But there is one way I can boot it , that is by plugging the charger, if I remove the phone from charging it again goes to boot loop in few minutes
Please tell me whats the problem here
Also before this issue, I over charged my phone for an hour.
I will also try to remove sim card and sd card as mentioned above
Please help me if anyone knows the fix

Not at all! It never got down under 80%.
Yes, after tring everything, it seems like a battery issue. I've sent my phone for repairing, so when it comes, I'll update my status.
And really sorry for replying late, my laptop also died so there was no way to reply back.
Exactly the same problem I had. Without charging it won't even boot to home screen and will continue boot looping.
My best bet is that our phone batteries have died in which case, we will have to replace it.
I've sent my phone for battery renewal. Let's see what happens.
Damn, battery renewal is real pain.
Did you do a factory reset , will it help If I do a factory reset
Battery renewal will cost me 1500 rs
Anyways please share if there is any update with your phone
Thank you
True indeed. I was trying to avoid it at all cost but that is the only option now.
Yes. I did a hard reset and a normal factory reset(I don't know if that's the same thing, but still). I love customising my phone with themes and fonts so I reverted back to stock MIUI thinking it was because of the tinkering that the battery wasn't able to sustain ( how genius of me...) and I also turned off system animations in settings.
NOTHING worked.
So I suggest you not to wipe off your phone, because backing up and restoring data is already a big headache, and since both of our problems are same, it is not going to solve the issue.
But if you want to, you can try.
Absolutely.

Ohh alright, I thought of doing reset but now I wont
My problem got worse, earlier my phone used to boot while charging but now it is not booting even on charge
Might have to go for battery replacement
Also how much is it costing you to change the battery and are you renewing at authorised mi center or local shop ?
Also
Did you face the below problem :
Like once you boot on charging and you log into the phone and then you unplug the charger and just keep the phone on sleep then in this case it wont shutdown
But if you unlock the screen and try to open any application or do something , within seconds it (like literally in secs ) shuts down
Ditto!
This happened only if:
1) I've unplugged the charger and try to open anything. My phone wouldn't be able to open simple applications like Whatsapp and would shut down.
2) I'm plugged in and the phone usually runs almost everything but taxing apps like zoom meetings, YouTube etc would shut my phone down.
We are totally facing the same issue in every aspect.
Please answer the below question, I am feeling helpless due to lack of my phone and could really use your advice for the next course of action
1.How much is it costing you to change the battery and are you renewing at authorised mi center or local shop ?
2.Also can we be sure that this is definitely a battery issue or there could be any software issue ?
Also thanks a lot man for helping me out, there is literally no place else where i could address this particular issue
Yes, my problem wasn't all of a sudden. The battery deterioration was gradual.
It came to a point where I would have to use weird tricks to even boot up the phone properly.(like counting to 5 then pressing the power button or what not.)
I don't know. I just gave my phone to my father because he told me has a friend who does a great job repairing phones. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
As for the price, the original price for the battery in Amazon or Flipkart (I don't remember now) was somewhere around ₹1100.
I don't know about it. My father said that his friend is going to repair my phone. I can only tell after the repairing is done.
After trying almost everything, It is safe to assume that this is certainly a battery issue.
Anytime bro. As long as we are rocking the Redmi Note 7 pro, we are in the same family.
It seems like you've some financial problems in your home. If that's the case then I know that it will be difficult to even afford battery replacement, but after everything, this is our last bet.
Thanks a lot man.
Lets just hope its just the battery problem. I ll visit the repair guy and get it done
Just want the phone to get back on track asap
Hopefully yours should be fixed sooner
I think my problem caused due to these factors :
1.Before this problem, I kept my phone on charge and slept in the afternoon, so it over charged for few hours (I dont generally over charge , but I think this time it hit the tip of the ice berg )
2.I lost my original battery and I use a vivo charger which is more powerful and charges faster
3, And also maybe due to irregular charging pattern ( I hardly leave the phone to charge 100 %, I unplug it once it crosses 50 % and start using it )
Replacing the battery for the Note 7/Note 7 Pro is not difficult.
If money is tight consider the following:
1. Study ifixit's guide to the Note 7/Pro
2. Only buy OEM replacement parts. Witrigs is a great site
3. You'll need:
- a heat gun or heating pad
- micro screw driver set
- phone opening spudger
- suction cup handle set (with two of suction cups attached)
- patience
- some battery replacement video study on YouTube
- OEM replacement battery
- OEM adhesive for both the new battery and for the phones rear glass
- some small amount of rubbing alcohol to soften the battery glue
- patience
With the above items I was able to successfully replace my dead ear speaker. The repair/reassembly process for this phone is very straightforward and not difficult compared to some other phones out there.
Doing it yourself will save you slot of money vs paying someone else
Hey thanks for the above information man.
But mostly I will get the battery replaced from the mi service center. I visited them , they told me it will take 2,300. I will get it done tommorrow
Hey, got it repaired. They replaced battery and side key.
Thanks a lot for helping me around
Yes. Sometimes I would put my phone on charge and forget about it, so overcharging might have done some damage.
Dude! How can this be possible? My charger was damaged some time ago so before I bought myself a new one, I had to use a vivo charger too (Vivo S1 pro's charger) I believe it's 30 Watt fast charging which further Deteriorated battery health.
Well, I always try to keep it above 80%.
Great Job! Glad your problem was solved.
So was it a battery problem?

4Got the same problem, fixed it the same way
Hello,
today I got the same issue as you stated above.
I tried to remove the SIM card (while the phone is on) and the phone brought me to the startscreen instantly. Inserting the SIM card caused the bootloop again ..
I googled this issue and found this thread,
went into the Recovery mode (Power + Volume Up) and did the Data Wipe.
Consequently, I could start the phone with my SIM card without problems ..
Later I found out, that removing the "Telephone"-permission from the "Contacts and dialer" app caused the bootloop.
(On my Stock 10.3.4 MiUI non root)
Greeting,
Dorian Rec1Saturday night, I plug my 1 week old phone on the charger at 9%. I power off the phone and see the battery charging animation. I turned it back on as usual but this time my phone did something I've never seen before.
It started bootlooping!
I was like what the hell.
It loaded up to the lock screen and then rebooted. This happened over and over again for about an hour.
After googling, I found a thread about a Redni Note 5 pro having the same issue.
The solution was to hold power and Volume down until the phone rebooted to recovery.
After doing that, I was presented with the option to reboot to system, wipe phone (which I definitely didn't want) and connect to My Assistant.
I chose the first option and sure enough....my phone was stuck in a boot loop once again.
This is my first Xiaomi phone. It's not rooted at all and has locked bootloader on the stock 10.3.5 ROM. Fresh out the box...just a few apps, some photos and texts.
I've seen stuff like this before happen with rooted phones but never on a brand new non rooted phone.
Fortunately (and with lots of prayer), I was able to let the phone battery drain out completely since it wouldn't power off.
Sunday morning, I plugged it back on the charger and to my surprise, I saw the battery animation only this time!
After charging fully, I turned it on and saw it bootlooping again. After 5 mins, I decided to remove both my SIM tray with both SIM and micro SD.
THIS time, the phone stopped bootlooping entirely! Again....what the hell was my question ?.
Normally, my nerves are steel but yesterday, they were more like spaghetti lol
Against my own judgement, I wanted to test if it was my own SIM card causing the issue or if my micro SD card caused the issue.
I placed the SIM try back in with each card 1 by 1 however, the phone immediately started bootlooping on it's own right from system!
I've never seen this before with any other phone or brand I've used in the past.
This activity occurred again and again regardless which card was inserted. With no cards, the phone worked normally.
I decided, you know what, at this point, I'm going to back up my data during and factory reset since now I have access.
Thank God that worked!
After many hours of backing up data, factory resetting my phone and then restoring everything on Mother's Day ( which meant working around free time and planned activities with my Wife), I am happy to say my phone is back working normally with the same SIM card and Micro SD as if nothing happened.
Fluke or not, definitely going to be watching this phone carefully to see if the problem is gone for good.
I will say this, when I first took the phone out the box last week, I turned it on and watched it update to MiUI 10.3.5. Normally I factory reset my phones after updates to be safe but since the phone was still new, I did not factory reset this time. That could be the reason it did this...I'm still not sure.
Sometimes I power my phones off, connect the charger and turn them on. For years I've never had an issue or doing it this way. For a few days I didn't have an issue with my Redmi Note 7 either. After this experience, I will stop doing that entirely.
My question is, have any of you encountered random random boot loops with any of your Xiaomi products? How did it occur and how did you fix it?1
Adding all permissions in contacts& dialer is the solution - you saved my day!1
