Strange Bootloop Issue

[YankInDaSouth]

So, last night I transferred data from my 8 Pro to my 9 Pro XL. All went well so I powered off the 8 Pro for the night. Fast-forward to this evening ... I plug the 8 Pro in (still powered off) because I remembered the battery was fairly low. Take it off the charger and go to power it up and I am met with the recovery screen saying something along the lines that it couldn't load the system and it may be corrupt. If it continues that a factory reset may have to be done. I had two options - try again or factory reset. I opted to try again and the phone bootlooped for a LONG time! Long enough to cause a bit of a freak out cuz I need to phone to trade in ... It finally came back to that screen and this time I opted to wipe and all seems OK.

Never had this happen before and this is the first time I've ever transferred data ... I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but strange I bootlooped after the first time transferring data to a new phone

Wow your old phone is not happy with you , glad you got it done. Most likely just a coincidence. I usually transfer over from phone to phone before I reset and turn in the old one. This time though I made a backup of the old one through the settings. Reset the phone at the BestBuy store and when I got home I used that previous phone back after going through a few of the first screens on the P9XL

Yeah, it freaked me out for a bit. Didn't think Google would take too kindly with me sending them a bricked device for trade in.

Definitely lol
Did factory reset in recovery get it going?

Yes, after getting to that recovery screen for the second time, opting to wipe got it all squared away. Google needs to hurry up and get me the trade in box so I can ship it off before it decides to act up again

So, seeing several others on Facebook report the same issue... Seems to be an issue with the migration process
