Help needed.....Galaxy Tab always restart

Help......my Tab is having problem....it always restart....i cannot reset the factory data .Is that anyway to take out the battery to reset all data?anyone try b4???

Closed.................

how you resolve it?
can you share it?
i have same issue too

Start with your tab turned off. Then it's either, Hold Volume Up + Power Button at the same time or it's hold Volume Down + Power Button at the same time. One will boot you into fastboot, the other way will boot you into the stock recovery. You want recovery. You will know its right cause you will see an upside down triangle. Then hit i think it was search button or one of the volume buttons to get a menu to pop up. Highlight factory reset and hit the power button. If you boot into fastboot mode and not recovery, the screen will be black and will say please load OS or whatever. Just hold down power button to power off and try the other way.
Bear with me if directions are a little off. Gave my wife my tab months ago so I haven't had to do that in awhile

HELP! I can't access recovery!

I recently went back from liquid smooth to stock rom for my s4 and now my custom recovery TWRP won't open if I manually try it it will show the blue line then restart on to normal launch. :[ I lost my root and was trying to get into download mode but now I can't get that if i can't access recovery. Please help!

I got a friend to help ;]

So holding the volume down button while powering on the phone does not get you into download mode? I thought that always worked.

volume down is Odin Mode. You want boot mode.
Volume Up. Home Button. and Power.
When you see the tiny blue writing in the top left corner. let go of the power. continue holding volume and home until it resets again. You'll be in Recovery Mode.
Be careful in there. Id suggest going to "Reboot Now" by pressing the power button.
That outta do the trick.
Hope it helps.

Getting into recovery

How do I do this? The phone is stuck at the boot animation and i just cannot get it to do anything else, no button combo seems to work, i casnt even get it to power down properly. Never had this much trouble with a phone before.

Hi,
Power OFF your phone then:
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).

Thank You, what a fiddly process!! Now restoring from backup.

^obviously doesn't understand that you cannot power your phone down properly..
Lg is a little tricky.. But.. In order to hard power down, you must hold the power button until you see the phone power off, but don't let go or it will reboot. Keep holding the power button until you see the lg logo and it will then power down completely.
To get to recovery, hold vol down+power until you see the recovery mode loading. You will see the lg splash screen first but just keeping holding the buttons.. No need to let go and then try pressing them again as the post above me stated...

Are you sure it doesn't actually reset? I'm curious ... because Ive got TWRP and just to avoid that I always reboot into recovery from the rom ... and I've just been scared whenever I see that white screen

How to Enter Bootloader/Recovery

To enter the bootloader: with the phone off hold volume down and press power. Use the volume rocker to scroll through the options
To enter Recovery: Once in the bootloader screen use the volume rocker to bring up the Recovery Mode option and press the power button. This gets you to the dead Andy with the red triangle. Now press volume up and you should have the stock Android recovery.

I'm guessing the bootloader is locked? :X

Once at dead Andy, I (at least) had to press power and vol up to get to stock recovery. Vol up alone did nothing.

This has been happening to me too. Vol up and Andy just lays there, red triangle in hand, laughing at me.
EDIT: Nevermind............ I was missing the point. All good now.

Weird. I'm not able to get past the dead android.
I get into the bootloader fine, can select Recovery Mode, phone reboots and I get the dead Andy with "No command".
Tried pushing vol up... nothing. Tried pushing power and vol up... nothing.
I'm just trying to wipe the cache partition... which I've done before... but can't get past the dead guy.

in the dead andy screen press vol up + power for 4 seconds. if nothing happens try again, is a little tricky.

I have found that mine seems to work better if I hold the vol up for a second BEFORE I press power. Hold vol for a second then continue to hold it while you push power and let both go. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks guys, I'm in.
Man... that's a fine line between holding the buttons long enough to get into recovery, and holding them too long so as to shut your phone off!
X_man, that trick of holding vol up first before pressing power did actually seem to make it easier.

No prob. Glad to help. I myself actually restarted a couple times by accident before I figured out you can hold the vol first. lol

You should only need to tap power while holding the volume Up button.
1. At the bootloader screen, select Recovery mode.
2. Wait for the dead Andy.
3. Press and hold volume Up.
4. Tap power and release (still pressing volume Up).
5. Recovery should show in a second or less.

€DIT: deleted, here was crap

Correction!

@Moondroid, I tried what you suggested many times, but to no avail. Finally I figured out that you had steps 3 and 4 in the wrong order! So for anyone that's still trying to figure this out, press and hold power button, then tap volume up button and release .

Thanks bro you made my life easy.
1. At the Bootloader screen, select Recovery mode.
2. Wait for the dead Andy.
3. Press and hold Power Key (atleast for 01 SEC).
4. Tap Volume Up and release (still pressing Power Key).
5. Recovery should show in a 01 milli second or less.

Stuck at boot screen

Recently tried to flash a new bootloader and modem in my S7 Edge through Odin, but now the screen is stuck in the Powered By Android initial boot screen. I cannot turn it off by using the power button, the only thing that works is if I press the power button + volume down, however that does not take me to the Download Mode but instead just restarts the phone and back into the Powered By Android screen. Volume Up + Power does not seem to be working.
Am getting desperate now, please help!

Managed to fix it
What I did was keep holding volume down + menu button + power without letting go. It rebooted into the Powered by Android many times but after about 3-5 minutes of holding it straight it finally sent me to the download mode where I was able to install stock S7 Rom.
