Student by day, Android enthusiast by the night, anything that has material design intrigues me. Passionate about filmmaking, writing, and now design. The goal is to add a little bit of a personal touch to anything and everything I create!

If you’ve unfortunately sent your Realme 3 into a soft brick or bootloop state, then this guide will help you out the most! Read on to learn how you can Recover from Soft brick/Bootloop on Realme 3.

The Realme 3 has already been topping sales in the budget department, and for a good reason. It sports a gorgeous 1080p display, with a waterdrop notch that gives the front of this device an appeal that no other device in this price segment has. The Realme 3 does still come with the power efficient Mediatek MT6771 Helio P60 and the Mali-G72 GPU. The Realme 3 was released in March of 2019, making it one of the first budget devices to bring forth some serious design aspects for being a budget smartphone. Overall, if you’re on a budget but do not want to shell out in terms of design and performance, we couldn’t recommend the Realme 3 any more than we already do.

What is a boot loop?

A boot loop occurs when the device fails to write the software code properly to the system partition when flashing or updating to a newer software version. This happens mostly when the user itself tampers with the device, but may also happen due to sudden shutdowns while updating the phone. When your device goes into a bootloop, you won’t be able to access the UI since your phone will attempt to boot up and will fail every time. The only way out of this is to completely erase the system partition and write the software from scratch. This can be done using a few methods, including the Fastboot transfer method or using the recovery to flash an existing ZIP file.

Warning

Attempting to fix your bootloop on your own will void your warranty. The process also will wipe away all of your data, which includes photos, videos, apps and your calls. We, at GetDroidTips are not responsible for any unforeseen bootloops or crashes that may occur on your devices. All of our guides are thoroughly researched and provide only the correct means to follow the procedure. Proceed with caution and follow each step very carefully
