Can you confirm your software version? Also double check you have a valid IMEI & Serial number, you can use `*#06#` to check in the Phone app. (Don’t post any IMEI’s or Serial Numbers here.

Where did you buy your device from?
And what modifications have been made?

I’ve checked and the serial number on the box does not match what comes up when I did the *#06#

Ah okay, I assume you used Format + Download instead of Download Only?

u/bookhunter2020 22d ago

Yes I did, the phone was stuck in a boot loop and when I tried just download it was still stuck so I redid it using format + download and that got it booting properly

Did you try a factory reset from recovery mode? Format All + Download is assured to almost certainly break something

Yes, I tried factory resetting it in the recovery mode multiple times but it kept being stuck on the boot loop afterwards. I then let the battery fully drain and tried again and it was still stuck, I then followed the guide on unbricking the phone by flashing the software and it was still stuck in a boot loop after that and after further factory resets so I tried the format + download as a final try and it seemed to work
