        I didn't do any commands or anything that could have broken my phone, it just happened randomly. My phone won't go into recovery mode either it only shows the unlocked boot loader warning thing, then when I press power to continue from the warning it shows the Samsung logo for about 5 minutes then reboots to the unlocked boot loader screen again. When I plug in a charger it goes to the charging screen for about 5 minutes then randomly boots to the unlocked boot loader warning again and repeats the process of randomly rebooting and stuff. I have tried going into recovery mode but I have not been able to get into the recovery mode menu or any menu other than the Samsung logo, the charger screen or the boot loader unlocked warning screen. Sorry if this is hard to read I have autism and im not good at writing coherent sentences so if you need any more explanation of my problem just ask

            @amy Can youn switch the phone off and leave it charging for a few hours just as a check that the battery has not failed? Only it sounds similar to when the battery went on my OPO. Just a thought.

                @amy OK can you tell if the battery is actually charged fully and what happens if you connect to pc/laptop and try the installer again?

                  @lakotaubp the galaxy s10 port doesn't support the ubports installer yet you have to do it manually and I can't get into download mode or recovery mode

                    @amy OK not familier with this device at all as you can tell and should have checked. In this case then best to contact the porter or wait for someone else with the device to answer.

                      Bootloops can be broken via ADB Tools by giving the phone a command to boot into Fastboot mode : Have you tried that ?

                      Have you also tried booting with Volume Down + Power button pressed ?

                      In case the above doesn't help : Just look for other ways to break the Bootloop and one of them should work! 🙂

                      My phones :

                      • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
                      • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
                      • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

                      P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

                        @nero355 the phone is not being detected by adb while on the Samsung logo screen or download mode, the ubports port hasn't gotten adb working yet too

                            @Amy On my note 9 I need to turn off the decive (not restart, just off) and then once it's off for few minutes, I press volume down and plug USB which is attached to PC and I get into download mode. Have u tried that?
