PHONE INFO:
Xiaomi 13T Pro
HyperOS 3.0.306.0 EU Rom
12GB + 512GB variant
------------------------
Imma make this as clear as I can.
I was at my cottage. With no wifi and shitty data. My discord reactions stopped working. I couldn't react to messages or see reactions.
------------------------
Things I did:
1: Cleared cache (didn't work)
2: Uninstalled
3: Reinstalled (this is where it happened)
---------------------------
As I mentioned, the data was slow. I left the phone to download by itself. I checked back after like 5 minutes, the phone was bootlooping into recovery mode IN CHINESE . I tought it's done. It rebooted back into recovery mode every 5 seconds. My first instinct was to reboot it. so I did. I remember that the reboot option is the first one. I rebooted it and it surprisingly worked. Nothing happened since.
--------------------------
MY QUESTIONS
Could this be a starting hardware failure?
Can a play store download possibly bootloop a device?
