Z5P: Bootloop after todays update (only with SD card)

oernii — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 15:08:29 GMT

Hi, today morning a new update was waiting for me on my xperia Z5P. I already had MM so this was some patch. After installing it, the phone began to bootloop always after decrypting and almost displaing the desktop. After the 10th bootloop I removed the microSD card, and the phone booted normaly. Another boot with the SD looped again. Another, smaller SD card booted normaly. The problematic SDcard was working normally in another phone, note4 and also in the PC. The SDcard was also running normally until the second MM update. After formatting the card and copying COME of the data the phone booted ok. What could have caused the boot loop, when it was working with the older ROM (also MM) ?

@oernii

you could reformat the SD card and check again

Formatting already helped, as I wrote. What I don't get is WHY it had that problem after the update.

Maybe there was some configuration leftover in Android/Data

So is it advisable to remove sd card before update to mm?

@ChimpFingers

You shouldn't have, but make sure to move the apps from the SD card to the internal storage

Only media saved to mine. Seems a few people have had problems. Think I'll remove it, update then put it back in just to be sure.
