I am running the stock rom without root and unlock and I got the 4.0.2 OTA update 3 days ago. Today when I do the pattern unlock my phone froze and reboot. Now I cannot get pass the Google logo boot screen.
I am able to get into the recovery mode but I don't want to do a factory restore as I don't have anything backup yet.
Is there any solution to this boot loop problem? I am surprise that I am getting this problem as I am running the stock rom without any root / mod.
If there is no solution to this, is there any way I can backup my phone before doing the factory restore?
Many thanks!
You can back up via adb. Try searching in the General threads, since there's a long topic on this...
Good luck!
Thanks, I do find information about backup, but I can't find anything regarding the bootloop...
When i got stuck at the Google screen with a bootloop i booted into the bootloader/fastboot screen with vol up+down power and i redid the one click all process and it basically rewiped my device and put it back to working again with unlocked bootloader rooted etc....
All you have to remember is what build number you have and let the toolkit work its magic.

Sorry, forgot to mention. You're probably gonna have to wipe via recovery - which is why I pointed you to a back up...

I can't find a way to backup without going into Android. I can only go to Fastboot Mode.
Anyone know how to backup the file using abd without getting into android?
Why did make 2 threads about this. Unlock the boot loader and use adb to flash your stock. Image files. You will loose all data unfortunately but I think that's the only way to fix it.

Ok I'm stuck with the same problem now. I wanted to flash a ROM, so I downloaded AOKP, flashed it and rebooted and the phone refuses to boot past the Google logo and keeps rebooting again and again. I am able to get into the recovery. I have flashed the ROM several times and its still the same. I have done a complete wipe as well. Still no go.
Fastboot command doesnt work in the bootloader either. I have made sure the drivers are installed, still there is nothing when I type fastboot devices. If I type any fastboot command it just says <waiting for device> or something like that.
Any other suggestions? :-s
OK, I did search and found nothing. So, I need to ask this somewhere, hopefully this is the place. The similar threads search did not seem to help much.
I have a Tab S 8.4 WiFi. I rooted it and was running Cyanogen 12. I noticed the TWRP 2.8.3.0 update, so I went to install it. TWRP manager kept crashing, so I went to the TWRP site and downloaded the SM-T 700 klimti wifi img file. I used Flashify to flash this, as I have done numerous times. I wish I'd extracted and flashed the zip in TWRP, but I did not. Everything acted normal but when the tab went to boot up it got to the Black screen that announces Samsung Galaxy S, SM-T700, Powered by android. This was it. It flashed this screen constantly every second or so. Non stop. There was nothing any button combination would do. Except it will go into download mode. Nothing else. No hard reset, nothing. Download mode is it. I spent lots of time looking at various tutorials to see what I'd missed, nothing but download mode. So, I had Odin on the computer and the latest firmware from SamMobile, so I figured I could start over and get the tablet functioning. I've used Odin a fair amount before, including the original Galaxy, S III, S4, so I'm not unfamiliar with the process. I've yet (until now) had the privilege of having a wreck like this one.
So, Odin acts like it is doing its thing, runs through all the steps, says at the end Pass and all threads succeeded, none failed. At the end of the Odin process the tablet acts like it is booting. Up comes the Samsung name with the Bluish sparkly oval along with the standard Samsung tones we hear heading into the boot. That is as far as it goes. The blue and pink colors fade out and I am left with a black screen with SAMSUNG in the middle. Again, no button combination except download mode works at all. It just stays there. Pass showing proudly on the Odin screen (EDIT: I left it there for an hour or so to see if boot would finish before disconnection). I downloaded and tried flashing all of the various firmwares, same result. I even let the battery drain to zero hoping that would shut it off. It seemed to, but the results were the same, only the download mode combination will do anything. The power button starts up the phone in an initially normal manner, but it goes right to SAMSUNG in a black screen.
EDIT 2: I used the Cellular South firmware, saw nothing else US and thought I remembered reading this was what worked here.
There is likely user error here (and realize I might kick myself in the end...Oh wait, I already have), but I've run in circles enough to realize I'm probably doing the same sequence with the same error and I not able to see what it is.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or how to fix this? I hope it is fixable. I had hope since download and Odin at least go through the motions. I would greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or help. Thanks in advance.
Since you installed cm12 my guess is that its trying to switch back to davlik runtime. Have you tryed flashing twrp, then transfer another rom/custom rom too it and flash it with twrp?

I did wonder about conflicts, including dalvik vs art. But I have a tab I can't do anything with except go to download. Since I tried stock firmware flashes, I imagine root is toast and so is flashing another TWRP, assuming I can do that with Odin. Never tried zip files with Odin. So short answer is no I have not tried flashing TWRP over Odin (which is now my only option). I also wondered if I was stuck with this paperweight until Samsung gets Lollipop to the Tab S, when I can get a stock 5.0 firmware from SamMobile, or someplace.
At any rate thank you.

What I mean is to flash twrp with odin then flash zips with twrp. If you cant reboot into recovery, if you installed adb then yoi can do adb reboot recovery.
I`m having same issues. I was on stock rooted ROM and flashed latest TWRP from the app. Now I`m stuck in bootloop.
EDIT: flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0 via Odin and everything works fine now.

Thanks. When Christmas stuff winds down, I will give Odin a go. Thanks to both of you who answered. Merry Christmas.
OK, Odin says the TWRP is successful, goes through all motions, up to and including PASS. The tablet still will only go into Download Mode. At this point I'm wondering about trying Kies. Also thought what might happen if I unchecked Auto reboot in Odin and tried that again.

? You can boot into twrp? It should be power, home, vol up buttons. And to force reboot its power, home and vol up and down buttons at the same time.

No, the power, home, volume up does nothing, I even held it there for maybe 15 minutes. The power, home, and volume up/down gets the download screen, or rather it gets the warning screen about the dangers of flashing a custom OS. Continue goes into download and reboot get me the same old attempt to reboot then stuck on Samsung screen. That last is the ONLY button combination I can get to work.
I'll let the thing use up the battery and shut itself off and try the manual reboot to recovery again. I've chased this thing around so much I'm likely in a boot loop myself and can't see my error.

Used 2.8.1.0. I had the issues trying to update to 2.8.3.0. I used 2.8.1.0 because it was working. I was thinking about trying the 2.8.3 because maybe I had a bad download and maybe a new flash might fix stuff.
Quick question, can Odin flash zip files? Never tried one.

nope. Odin only flashes tars and files with md5 or a few otheres. You flash zips with twrp.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
For whatever reason, this time the power, home, and volume up combination booted me into TWRP. Restored a backup and everything is up and running normally (at least so far).
I'm perfectly willing to admit error,but don't quite know where my error came in. I would swear I used the power, volume up, and home combination when I hit the download mode. But maybe not. I don't know why it worked now, except that I was inadvertently hitting the wrong combination, thinking I was doing it right. I remember thinking the first time it went to download mode, that I just did it wrong and used the wrong volume key. Thought I was more careful the succeeding tries.
At any rate thanks for the help. I will remember this particular lesson for a while .

A lot of Tab S owners have had issue with TWRP 2.8.3. There is another thread on it. I installed 2.8.3 with Odin and it was pretty wonky. Went right back to 2.8.1.
If none of the methods worked for anyone try this. If your tablet keeps trying to boot into twrp or stuck at the galaxy tab s screen try this if you cant boot into download mode.
Let completely die. Then put it in the charger and quickly press the combination of buttons to get into download mode. That should over ride booting into twrp. another way is to plug it into your computer and try different combinations of buttons.
I have the samsung galaxy tab s 8.4 and I rooted it a few days ago and I thought to myself lets install a custom recovery, but before I did that I backed up my stock kernal and my stock recovery through flashify, also im on stock firmware, after I backed those things up I installed twrp 2.8.3.0 and I booted into recovery to back up my rom and data just in case I soft bricked my tablet like I used to do on my nexus 7, when trying to boot into twrp it went in to boot loop I have tried all button combination I know and have seen in this thread but none works except for going into download mode. I dont know if I should flash an older version of twrp and see if it works or should I install stock firmware on my device and im not sure what version of odin I should use if I flash a older version of twrp. The version I used to root my tablet is 3.07 of odin.
I got the Tab Pro 12.2 a couple of weeks ago (refurb). It worked flawlessly, so I decided to root it, etc. It no longer works.
Two points.
(BOOT 1) - On a 'normal' boot it will get past the blue swirl with about 1 second of audio, then stops with "SAMSUNG" on the screen.
(BOOT 2) - On a Pwr on/Vol- (hard) boot, it will come up with "press vol +)" at which time it boots to ODIN. No way can I get it to boot to TWRP (see following)
Conditions: Windows 10 Tech Preview, Dell XPS 18 (USB 2 and 3), latest USB driver from Samsung, ODIN 3.10, Kies 3. The tablet connects with ODIN.
I loaded CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5). Success, BUT tablet reboots to BOOT 1, above.
I loaded "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v2wifixx.img.tar". Success, BUT reboots to BOOT1 above.
If I do a "hard" boot, I'm back with ODIN. TWRP won't boot. Tried the same with CWM (getting stupid here). Boots to ODIN. Basically, I can't boot into any recovery program.
Tried loading "SM-T900_XAR_1_20140508111550_703bt27ewy.tar". Again, loads but no joy.
Loaded the original ROM from SamMoblie. Again, no dice.
Am I screwed or what? Please help if you can. Thanks.

Try a different ODIN version.
I've come up with something similar in the past.
ODIN reports OK but nothing is really written to the Tab.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried a few versions of ODIN. One or two of the older ones didn't work at all.. Currently using 3.10.6. Maybe I'll go back and retry a couple.
With tablet in download mode: I tried Kies and it reported the tablet as an unrecognized device. Tried ADB. It didn't see the tablet at all.
Any great insights (or guesses) would be appreciated!

Plug in the Tab and check in your computer device manager list that the device shows connected to the USB port and the drive installed is Samsung Android ADB Interface, if it isn't change it to this driver.
Make sure you are using the original USB cable and its plugged directly into the PC and not via any Hubs.

Try loading this in odin(P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg.tar) then see if you can get into stock recovery and wipe cache and data to return to default settings. See if your stock rom loads.... If so then
flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 in odin then reboot
If all is working then flash
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-v2wifixx.img.tar
instead of the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v2wifixx.img.tar( this seemed to not load on my tablet pro 12.2)
See if it boots up for you.
Then you can install custom rom if you want from twrp.

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't find a download link for the 2.8.0.0 but found openrecovery-twrp-v1a3gxx.img.tar. I'm guessing it's for a 3G version but it works. I used ODIN3 v3.10.6.exe on the PC. So far, I have twrp and the stock ROM running and everything works nicely. I still haven't managed to root it. Keeps getting stuck on cache. Can it be rooted after twrp has been loaded?
I actually may try to use the tablet for a while instead of continually poking and reloading it.
followed a tutorial (Cnncted's youtube clip - How to root the ASUS ZenFone 2 ) to root
Accidentally (very stupid) pressed the update option when an OTA update showed up yesterday (Jul 8 2015), and after that the phone won't start properly - stopped at in search of incredible...
No luck with trying to boot into recovery mode (power + volume up). It just vibrates once and the screen is black. Trying to flash recovery image with ADB and flashtool etc, but the MTP usb connection failed. If I connect it to the PC using the USB cable and then press the power button to turn it on (stuck in that ..."incredible" screen), device manager shows the Z200AD name with a yellow exclamation mark beside, and Asus ZenUI software will automatically start. But it's not really recognized by the PC.
So...if you have any suggestions for me to try, please let me know and that would be greatly appreciated!

p.s. This is a US version, so the it's the WW sku?
Same problem here. I have a rooted 551ML and on July 6th I received an OTA update. I installed it and I'm stuck in boot loop. I have hundreds of family pictures in the internal memory.
The good news is that I have access to boot loader and recovery.
I could not find any custom recovery for Zenfone 2. They are not out yet, right? Is there any way to copy the internal memory of the phone (that doesnt load the OS) to the SD card? Or to paste a file img.boot taken from a downloaded official rom and copy it over the corrupted one on the phone's memory?
If you can access the bootloader, you can do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
Btw, there is a custom recovery out there (TWRP, check the Development section), but you will need an unlocked bootloader to use it in your state (I think).
US version is the WW SKU btw. Hope this helps.

Joel, thanks a lot! I will give it a try.
fingers and toes crossed...
I faced this problem too. All I did was to flash the boot.img of my version using fastboot,
Then I flashed the firmware, without factory reset I started the phone.
I was continiously getting an error "com.android.process has stopped". Ignoring that, I just backed up my whole data. Did a factory reset. Updated
Boom!! Everything was normal... I hope this helps
Just a quick update - followed the method in the link that Joel referred to, and everything worked beautifully. I did get two error messages like “the contact stopped working..." “The process android.process.acore has stopped working.” I fixed this problem by clearing the data/cache from the "contact" app, and that did the trick without a factory reset etc.
I unrooted the device using SuperSU. The fastboot screen, however, still shows a random serial number 0123456789ABCDEF. Is there a way to revert it back to the real one? I do see the real one from settings - about - status.

Pretty sure rooting didn't affect my fastboot screen at all.
actually i rooted my zenfone 2 and there was an OTA and i tried to install it without un-rooting my phone. the phone would not turn on and it gets stuck in the boot animation.
the phone wasn't detected by the ADB in my pc so i thought of installing some custom recovery, thought that could help.
i tried installing TWRP but i did not unlock the bootloader and now i am not able to enter in recovery mode either, everytime i try to get in the recovery modethe phone restarts and goes to fastboot mode.
please help.

I was having a similar issue where adb wouldn't recognize my phone but fastboot was detecting it. What I ended up doing was grabbing the latest stock firmware zip from asus, transferring it to my external sd card via adapter and renamed it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Then go into fastboot (restart with volume up key) and proceed to recovery. It should automatically update your system from there. The only bummer is having to re-configure everything.

hello i recently rooted and installed cm11 on my FP, i just did a clean system partition flash, then flashed pa_gapps. now screen is stuck at black screen with amazon logo. what should i do? i did get the phone to connect to the pc, i got it working using the stock usb cord phone came with. now the phone not connecting to pc anymore.
what can i do to return the phone to factory setting? or at least to get the cm11 running.

You mentioned clean partition flash and pa gapps but you didn't say you flash the cm11 zip. I assume you did? If not there's no os. Twrp will notify if the os isn't there but not sure about safestrap. I'd assume you need to flash it in fastboot now unless there's a button combo that can be utilized.
I'd take this to the cm11 thread. ggow might be able to assist.

well problem is i cant even get into safestrap recovery right now. when i hard reset the phone, try to boot it. its stuck at amazon screen. good thing right now is when i plug the phone in the pc, it makes connection. maybe i can sideload a os using the pc?

That probably IS a good thing. But if there's no OS installed I'd think it would automatically boot to recovery? I've only owned this phone a short time and before last week never used safestrap. Normally I'd either try to boot recovery with a button combo (haven't needed to on this phone.) Or connect via adb and use the command "adb reboot recovery".
I'd say you have a better chance or at least a quicker response if you head over to ggow's thread. Good luck

I'd say you have a better chance or at least a quicker response if you head over to ggow's thread. Good luck

same problem here: can't start safe stripe and stuck at Amazon. tried to start the phone pressing volume up and power button, see if you can get into the build-in recovery. if it works, you can wipe the data and then use ADB sideload to flash in official rom (should be a bin file, i tried 4.6.1 version) and bring back your phone .
