reboot loop

Endless startup failure

A reboot loop is a malfunction where a computer or device repeatedly restarts without successfully completing its startup sequence.

The system begins to boot, encounters an error, restarts, and the cycle continues indefinitely: My phone's stuck in a reboot loop after the update.

Often caused by corrupted software, failed updates, or hardware problems.

Escaping a reboot loop typically requires booting into safe mode or recovery.
