Help HELP!! Kyocera Duraforce stuck in a bootloop.

[Mike753]

This only happens when I restart the phone myself, or when the phone dies and I have to boot it up from the battery screen. It then boots up into the lock screen, but is mildly unresponsive, and then after around 20 seconds it reboots.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that I have root installed (Used One Click KingoRoot)? I also used Lucky Patcher on occasion but I am uncertain that this is the case.

Can someone help me find a fix for this, it's getting really irritating.

Thanks,
Mike

The usual fix for a rooted phone that acts up is a factory reset. You're brave for rooting a duraforce lol....

It could be that Kingoroot("free" Chinese spyware/adware) damaged or corrupted something in the firmware, that's causing the boot loop, and possibly that Lucky Patcher aggravated the problem as well because that does mess with the system, and the firmware needs to be re-flashed. How you can do that on a Duraforce, no ideas, maybe something on Youtube about it.

BTW AF does take a very dim view of Lucky Patcher, as it's basically theft, so won't find any help for that here.
