Dear Galaxy tab experts!
I have read on several places in the Internet that some people has suffered
in a boot loop. The Internet recommends to do a hard reset via
the recovery mode. OK. Unfortunately, my device fails to enter the recovery mode.
My Samsung Galaxy tab 4 SM-T530 has been working fine for for about 2.5 years
until last weekend. Now it does not boot but stays in a reboot loop. That
means that The boot logo shows up for a while and disappears after
about 10 seconds.
I was searching the Internet and I wanted to try out the recovery mode
but I am not able to reach it. When I press Power + Volume Up + Home buttons,
the label "recovery booting ..." appears in the upper left corner of the
display for a while and thereafter, the boot loop continues.
Fortunately, I am able to shutdown my device by pressing
the Power + Volume Down buttons.
The tab has been used about 10 hours per week. I have never uploaded
any ROM or firmware.
The boot loop has started when I was charging my device. I used the
official Samsung USB charging connector as always. During the
charge process, I wanted to see the charge progress like I
have done it many times before but I only saw a grey battery and after that,
the boot loop has started.
I have no problem to do a hard reset and to wipe out my data.
My device contains no important personal data.
What do you recommend to get my device working again?
Thank you in advance!

Galaxy S4 Won't Boot
I've been unable to boot my phone past the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen for the past few days. When I was using it a few days ago, it suddenly froze and then it got stuck on the logo-screen ever since. The phone was not rooted or modified in any way.The phone's warranty expired a few months ago, so I can't ship it to Samsung without paying ~$100. I suspect that the phone is soft-bricked, but I've been unable to un-brick it.
It's a Fido Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M.
Things that I've tried:
Flick, wiggle, and hit the power button to potentially dislodge a stuck power button
Flashing the stock firmware (I tried this several times)
Selecting "Firmware update and initialization" on Kies
I attempted to boot into recovery mode to clear the cache, but, I'm unable to boot into recovery mode. (I pressed the home, volume-up, and the power button until the blue screen on the upper-left corner appeared. Then I let go of the power button)
Flash TWRP in-hopes of being able to access recovery(It was a longshot).
Thank you for your help!

If it froze without you doing anything and you cannot boot it anymore then I am afraid you have hardware damage.

Is there anything that I can try to revive my phone?
Hello!
This morning my s4 decided to randomly power off on me whilst I was using it, and now it wont power back on without looping on the bootscreen where the white text "Samsung Galaxy S4" appears. I attempted to boot into recovery, but I just get the blue text "recovery booting" in the corner with no action at all even after 10 minutes. Download mode works, but even after reflashing the stock firmware i'm getting the same issue. The battery appears to be functional as normal, charging up and displaying charge in my old s4. Please respond with any ways I can potentially get it back up and running (even if I lose all data) ASAP.
Thanks!
Try nand erase all + stock rom, it might work, otherwise try an other battery.
Hello
So today was planning to flash with a new ROM, so i started to do a factory reset from with in android, nothing happened
so i reboot the phone to enter recovery mode to do it from there, using Teamwin for that. But when booting up, getting the message entering recovery mode 5 sec later i see the logo for Teamwin and here it stops.
The logo keeps flashing every 4 seconds or so. Have tried without Sim card, done the battery thing where i remove
it and hold the power button for a while, but all end up in same, the teamwin logo flashing
As far as i can see i can´t enter anywhere to flash the phone as the only thing i get is a flashing logo...
Also Odin does not detect the phone via usb either
is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks
My friend has a Galaxy S5 that is stuck in a reboot loop. He asked me to look at it. We are unable to boot it into safe mode by pressing power then the volume down key.
I tried booting into recovery mode and I get the blue text on the upper left corner that says RECOVERY BOOTING then it just reboots
I can get into the OS Install mode screen but we don't want to install a new os if it wipe the data on the phone. He has pictures that were not saved anywhere else but the phone.

hi all,
Just come back from holiday and SM-G928F edge plus (european model) battery was completely flat.
I charged the mobile and booted it up, loaded into Android then sounded like a lots of notification alerts then phone made a loud buzzing noise and crashed/auto-reloaded.
Since then it had gone into a boot loop. Tried holding power and vol down to reboot phone. Initially this function worked then no longer worked. Phone still stuck in boot loop...
Could not get into safe mode (hold power and vol down then release power)
Tried in recover mode (hold power, vol up and home), tried clearing cache took ages about 1 hour, also tried the format option, rebooted system and still boot loop..
Tried going into Odin mode (power, vol down and home) , used ODIN s/w and installed the latest XER version firmware, got success message but still boot loop...
Interestingly when I left it to constant boot loop, eventually it booted up Android now. However once I start using the mobile it intermittently reboots the mobile and then goes back into boot loop again...
When I did manage to get into Android I tried using an app to check the mobile health, strangely I notice it said I only had 1gb ram spare and the rest was used when mobile was factory reseted and I didnt expect so much RAM in use. During stress test mobile crashed and gone into boot loop again...
I am not sure this was affected by an auto update that may had gone wrong.
I don't root, just used stock firmware.
UPDATE:
Left mobile in boot loop until battery went flat, fully charged it and now can get back into Android. But it started to auto update some app and then auto rebooted/crashed and went into boot loop again.
Please help.
Thanks
Is there anyone who can help me please?
