How to solve the problem “Huawei Mate 20 does not boot”
Before performing any of the recommended troubleshooting procedures on this phone, it is best to make sure it is running with the latest software version. If an update is available, I suggest you download it and install it first. This will at least minimize the possibility that the problem is caused by an obsolete version of the software.
Make sure the charger is working
The first thing you will need to do in this case is to make sure that the charger you are using works. There are two parts that make up the phone charger and these are the USB charging cable and the adapter.
The cable is easily damaged as it is usually folded and rolled, so it is best to try using a different charging cable. You should also try using a different adapter to charge the phone if the use of a different cable does not work.
Charge from a different socket
There are times when the problem may be caused by a non-functioning outlet. To eliminate this possibility, you should try connecting the charger to a different outlet. Note that it is better not to connect the adapter to an extension cord but connect it directly to the power outlet if this problem is encountered.
Check the phone charging port
Dirt or debris stuck in the charging port of the phone can usually cause charging problems. Make sure the phone charging port is free of debris by blowing air towards it. If the charging port of the phone is wet, it must be dried before leaving the phone in a cool area for a few hours.
The liquid in the door will naturally evaporate. Check if the problem “Huawei Mate 20 does not boot” still occurs.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on your computer
If you cannot charge the phone using the wall adapter, try connecting the phone to a USB port on the computer. The phone will continue to charge this way but it will be a slower process.
If your phone charges, then there must be a problem with the fast charging pin on the phone charging port. You should try cleaning this pin or have it checked by a service center.
How to start safe mode on Huawei Mate 20
Sometimes a certain app that you have downloaded from the Google Play Store can cause this particular problem. This may be due to bugs in the app or compatibility issues between the app and the phone.
To check if this is what is causing the problem, you will need to start the phone in Safe Mode as only pre-installed apps can work in this mode.
- Turn off the phone by holding the power button for a few seconds.
- Hold down the power button and release it when you see the Huawei logo on the screen.
- After releasing the power button, immediately hold down the volume down button.
- Continue to hold the Volume button until the phone starts completely.
- Once the phone has started, “Safe Mode” should appear at the bottom of the screen
If you can boot the phone in this mode, the problem may be caused by a downloaded app. Find out what this app is and uninstall it.
Delete the cache partition on Huawei Mate 20
The data stored in the phone system’s cache is used to speed up access to phone apps. Sometimes this data can be damaged, causing problems to occur on the device.
To check if the problem is caused by corrupted cached data, you will need to delete the phone’s cache partition from recovery mode.
- Turn the phone off.
- Simultaneously hold the volume up button together with the device power button for a few seconds
- The phone will go into stock recovery mode
