Ok, so it is already 7/8 times in 2 months that I have to fully wipe my TF because it did not boot anymore and was stuck at ASUS logo screen.
Everytime I had to wipe it, reapply rooting and restore last backup (and I always loose something).
I am thinking that is a software problem: some applications create problem to filesystem or system files so that it will not boot anymore.
Is there some sort of safe mode while booting to identify what is stopping the boot process?
Or is there some way to investigate the problem after it happens?
Thank you
Chris
Every once in a while my phone restarts and freezes at the AT&T Logo splash screen after the Samsung logo. There's no way to get past this besides booting up as if I was about to install a custom rom (holding power, home, and dwn volume) and then canceling and rebooting and even then this only works half the time. Removing battery and rebooting never works. I can't even restart my phone without going through all these loops just to get it on and usable. Anyone know what the issue is? Some people mentioned re installing the kernal. No idea what that means.
The answer, and specific advice, depends in part on what model GS4 you have, what version of the operating system your phone is running, and whether it is stock or custom. I would assume that your phone is running stock (unmodified) firmware since you have no idea what it means to reinstall the kernel. Symptoms like yours can be caused by corrupt firmware, or by hardware issues. The first recommended trouble shooting step would be to enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. The second and more definitive trouble shooting step would be to reinstall the stock firmware.
If you perform a wipe data/factory reset and the problem goes away, or if you reinstall the stock firmware and the problem goes away, then you know the problem was firmware based and not hardware. If you reinstall the stock firmware and the problem persists, then this is a pretty good indication that the problem is hardware.
So for a few weeks now, my phone has been having bootloop issues. I've been trying to fix it on my own, but no luck so far.
I can get it into download mode. Up until I tried to restore it to its stock version via the User Tool, I could get it to the factory reset options, which led to the options to wipe cache, reboot, etc. However, none of those options worked. When I attempted to reset to factory settings, I got the "dead" green android with the red triangle. Then the screen goes black and starts bootlooping again.
Once in awhile I can manage to turn it on after having it turned off for hours, or even days and it works like normal, except that if I lock it or turn it off it will end up restarting and starting to bootloop again. Which is bad seeing as it drains somewhat fast due to being overheated while having the screen constantly on.
As for my experience trying to use update recovery, it gets to the downloading part then stops and gives me this message "[011.700.147.062.092]??? ??? ? ? ????". I don't even know if I am using the correct stock rom for my phone, since I only know its MEID and model name.
do u resolved this, i have the same problem
Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.
I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x
I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.
Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.
Have exactly the same issue..Please help

I have updated to the latest version of Android 13. After that the phone keeps boot looping on startup. It gets stuck on the white screen with the G and the loading never ends.
After a while it doesn't restart anymore and got stuck on the fasboot view.
I tried these solutions but none solved my problem:
- Wipe data / Factory reset
- Google online flash tool
- Sideload
All the above options are successful but then the phone freezes on loading.
Do you have other solutions on how to fix the problem?
The Bootloader is unlocked
I had the exact same issue after the latest update, any luck on what can be done?
