@cliffcoggin
~~Yes restart works fine.~~
It's cold boot that has problem for me and @stanwood

Edit : ok i assumed restart works fine because i had not noticed problem here, but just tested and i got one bootloop and then a normal boot.

@stanwood hello, with the BQ M10FHD the same behavior. ( OTA-25 Stable ) Greetings

I just retested my BQ E5 HD which had been turned off since yesterday: so, BQ screen, then freezes on black screen. Force restart and this time it's ok.
...I strongly believe that an OTA-26 is needed!!

Yes confirmed, when i've updated RC, there where no issues.
idk if any coincidence but there were issues on infrastructure during this time

@lduboeuf Guess what, I just tried to boot the Cooler and now it's not only stuck in a bootloop, I can't even break the loop with power + volume- which means I can't even shut it down anymore. As a result, I can neither switch to developer mode to flash it with an older build nor can I select the bootloader from the menu because power + volume+ doesn't work.

@Flohack do you have any ideas how to get the tablet to shut down? Currently, I could only hope for the battery to give out. Unfortunately, I can't seem to register a bug, because my atlassian account has no access to ubport's issue tracker.
Maybe BQ devices should be announced as not supported by OTA-25 until the issue is fixed. :anxious_face_with_sweat:

Hold the on/off button for a long time, eventually it turns off.

@Bolly I wish. See here.

Please see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8858/ota-25-hotfix/10
A new RC has roll out that should fix the boot issue. Also for device that have fingerprint, please check if no regression.
