Android Oreo has an automatic bootloop fix named "Rescue Party"

Android Oreo may not be the flashiest release, but it's got tons of under-the-hood changes. We recently discovered documentation in the AOSP source code that outlines one of these understated features, which has been dubbed "Rescue Party."

According to Google, Rescue Party will automatically kick in when it detects that "the system_server restarts more than 5 times in 5 minutes," or if "a persistent system app crashes more than 5 times in 30 seconds."
 
Good news - Rescue Party works!
