How to Fix a Rooted Phone That Won't Boot

Jun.. Posted by to Android Topic

If you tried to root your Android phone and the phone does not boot up later, it means you just bricked your phone. If the phone does not turn on when you press and hold the "Power" button, but the flash notification lights, you are able to perform a hard reset to restore your phone to factory settings. Then it will turn back to normal. However, if the phone does not respond when you press the "Power" button, the phone is in brick. In this article, I will try to describe some ideas that you should check and try to recover your Android phone.

 

Fix a Rooted Phone That Won't Boot

First, you should check the battery of your phone. The rooting process takes some time and if the battery was not enough during this step, the phone will be bricked due to incomplete file writing operations. Please charge your phone for a few minutes and try again to see the phone will boot or not.

If you still have a problem, then you should try to hard reset the phone, which you can do by the following procedure:

1. Press and hold the "Home" button and the "Power" button while holding on "Volume Up" button. When the phone vibrates, release the "Power" button while continuing to hold the "Home" and "Volume Up" button. The recovery screen appears.

2. Release the "Home" and "Volume Up" button when you see the recovery menu.

3. Use the "Volume Down" to scroll to highlight the "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". Press the "Power" button to reset.

All data is deleted from the phone and are restored to the original factory settings. A notification indicating "Reboot System Now" is displayed when the restoration is complete.

5. Press the "Power" button to restart the phone.

 

How to Recover Deleted Data after Factory Reset

Oh! I forget to tell you that the previous process will erase all your data. But don't worry! Don't get angry with me, I still have an idea to recover your files by boot into recovery mode and recover files again. For that, you need to download and install the Android Data Recovery program from its official page, after that, you must first turn off the phone, then keep pressing and holding the “Power” and “volume up” button simultaneously until you enter recovery mode. As the phone has entered the recovery mode, then just follow the steps below to recover the lost data.
