How to Handle BootLoops or Soft Bricks

How to know if there is a Bootloop?

Sometimes after you flash a ROM and reboot it takes much more time than usual to boot because it takes time to remake the cache and load into the memory all Apps. But when you see the Boot Animation for 5mins or more you should be sure that it is a bootloop. So Below is the way to handle such cases and its not a situation to panic. We can also term bootloop as SoftBrick. When you see that the ROM doesn't bootup after 5mins then you should turn off your phone otherwise if you leave your phone in the same state the SoC may heatup much more and may lead to damage the chipset.

So the first step that you should take is to turn it off. In Yu Yunique you can do this by two ways. Either hold Volume Up + Power Button otherwise hold Volume Down + Power Button. From these two ways any one of them must work.

Prerequisites:

1. Download and install required USB Drivers on PC. Alternative.
2. Install and setup ADB and Fastboot drivers – Windows | Mac.
3. Unlock Bootloader on YU Yunique.
