How to Fix Bootloop — TCL 502
The TCL 502 is a 2023 Android 13 smartphone powered by the Mediatek Helio A22 (12 nm) with 2GB and 32GB internal storage. It features a 6.0", IPS LCD, 90Hz, 480.0x960.0 display and is available in Black.
The 502 is equipped with a 3000 mAh, a 5 MP, 1080p@30fps main camera, a 2 MP, 720p@30fps front camera. The device uses a Nano-SIM configuration. It weighs 182 g.
A bootloop on the TCL 502 occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android. This is commonly caused by a failed software update, corrupted system files, or an incompatible app. Most bootloops can be resolved without losing data by clearing the cache partition first before attempting a factory reset.
Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.
On your TCL 502: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds
If still looping: enter Recovery Mode
Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot
If still looping: return to Recovery
Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)
Last resort: use your manufacturer's PC tool to reinstall firmware
