If your Android phone is stuck in a constant reboot loop and only displays the welcome screen, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue before seeking professional assistance. Please note that these steps are general guidelines, and the specific process may vary depending on your device model:
1. Perform a soft reset: Press and hold the power button until the phone powers off completely. Then, turn it back on after a few seconds. This simple reset can sometimes resolve minor software glitches causing the reboot loop.
2. Boot into Safe Mode: Restart your phone and, during the boot-up process, press and hold the Volume Down button until the device finishes booting. This will boot your phone into Safe Mode, where only pre-installed system apps are enabled. If your phone operates normally in Safe Mode, the issue may be caused by a recently installed app. Uninstall any suspicious or problematic apps to see if the rebooting issue persists.
3. Wipe cache partition: Power off your device and enter the recovery mode by pressing a combination of buttons (e.g., Power + Volume Up). Once in recovery mode, use the volume keys to navigate and locate the "Wipe Cache Partition" option. Select it using the power button and confirm the action. This clears the system cache, which can sometimes resolve software-related issues.
4. Factory reset: If the above steps don't resolve the problem, you may need to perform a factory reset. Keep in mind that a factory reset will erase all data on your phone, so ensure you have a backup of important files. In recovery mode, locate the "Factory Reset" or "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" option, select it, and follow the prompts to reset your device to its factory settings.
If none of these steps solve the issue and your phone continues to reboot in a loop, it's recommended to seek professional assistance from a reputable cell phone repair service like The Repair Ninja, who can diagnose and fix the underlying hardware or software problem causing the persistent rebooting.
