stuck on boot logo - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

was trying to odin back to stock and now i'm stuck on boot logo
i'm running t800, canadian. I've tried 2 different ones and neither are loading
T800XWU1BOL1_T800ILO1BOL1_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOL1_T800XAC1BOK1_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOCC_T800XAC1BOC4_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOE2_T800XAC1BOC4_HOME.tar.md5
Can anyone point me to one that may work? I've spent so much time trying to find these downloads and waiting hours for them to complete off of sammobile that my eyes are bleeding.
I'm able to reboot to download mode and odin sees the option to try flash something. Both the files above progress successfully, however I'm met with a samsung logo that doesn't progess any further. Let the tablet sit for up to 20 minutes and nothing.
help?

Boot to recovery and wipe the data partition.
Reboot will take around 10mins afterwards.

I tried to get to recovery. No matter what button configuration I do when trying to boot the tablet, I only get to a samsung boot logo that sits, or download mode.
edit: I let the tablet sit until the battery died from the boot logo loop. Charged her up again and tried to boot into recovery. Was able to this time. Wiped data like you said, works!!! Thank you!

[Q] Help! Unlocked bootloader, installed CWM, now phone won't boot

I used the GN Toolkit V2.2 to unlock the bootloader, after installing the adb drivers via PDANet. I flashed Clockwork Mod on as well, and was going to install the Android Revolution ROM. I thought I had already copied the zip file to the internal storage, but when I tried to flash it from inside CWM, it said no files were found. (May have copied it before wiping device, I can't remember). So I restarted so I could copy the zip file again and then flash it. However when starting, it seemed to be stuck on the startup screen, with all the flashing blocks of color fading in and out. After a while stuck on there I couldn't do anything so I did a battery pull to restart. At this point, I can start normally or into recovery mode. If I try to start normally, (or go into recovery mode and choose restart from the submenu), it shows the black screen with the white Google logo, and the unlocked icon, stalls for a few seconds, then does a short vibrate and reloads the logo again. It will keep doing this and not go any further. I tried doing an additional data wipe from recovery mode but that didn't help, and I tried to do USB mount from recovery mode, hoping to copy the Revolution zip file and flash it over, but it couldn't mount. I'm starting to panic a little bit, did I brick or otherwise mess my phone up? What can I do? Any help is REALLY appreciated.
Thanks so much and I hope this is the right forum.
I dont have the answer but I wanted to post to calm you. This happens a lot.....multiple times to me on my android devices. You live and learn next time, do a backup in cwm before wiping data and flashing new stuff
Im sure someone will post shortly to solve your problem
Well ok that is reassuring thanks. I downloaded the Google factory ROM from the code.google.com and was able to flash that on my phone with GN Toolkit. It is trying to boot right now, still on the colorful screen. I think maybe I didn't give it enough time last time around? At least I'm past the black and white logo screen. So I'll let it sit for a few minutes and see what happens.
Edit: I let it run for a couple minutes, and it blacked the screen for a sec, showed the white Google logo again, and then went into the colorful startup screen again. I think it's working now so that's a relief.
If someone finds this thread in the future with a similar issue: Don't battery pull during start up and be patient if you don't want to freak yourself out haha. But as spitefulcheerio said, it will be okay so just don't panic. Thanks again.
Make sure you do a Factory Reset in STOCK recovery after unlocking the bootloader. THEN install CWM. learned that one the hard way. skipped a step after doing the oem unlock.
Yes, first time will take awhile on the boot animation.
And, as long as you see the google logo, you are ok, even if it freezes on that. They designed this phone to be easy

Guess all I needed was a psychological confidence boost, thanks for everyone for being supportive I thought I just threw a few hundred bucks away. But I got Revolution installed, phone and rooted and runs like a dream. Thanks all around!

To provide some technical details on why it takes longer the first boot and appears to "hang" at boot animation ...
During the boot animation, the /data/dalvik-cache directory is built up for each application loaded on the device. This occurs during the very first boot. If the /data partition is wiped, the dalvik-cache directory is also wiped and will have to be rebuilt on the first boot. All subsequent boots will be quicker as this directory has already been populated.
Whenever loading a new ROM or performing the fastboot oem unlock command, the /data partition is generally wiped which takes with it dalvik-cache and results in the delayed initial boot time while the dalvik-cache directory is re-populated.
Hope that makes sense and fills in a few blanks on the why Android appears to "hang" at the boot animation during first boot after the /data partition is erased or the /data/dalvik-cache directory is erased.

Every ROM bootloops

I have attempted to flash multiple ROMs via CWM and everyone results in a bootloop, I am normally rather tech savy and believe I am installing them properly. Each time I have to flash back to stock via Odin. I am rather lost as I don't know where to start with the problem (Which results in a lack of explanation)
What other information may be needed to try to solve this?
I have primarily tried Juggernaut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642

Is it actually boot looping or just getting stuck on the logo??
Mine has taken as long as 10 minutes setting on the logo after a new rom flash ...
I assumed a boot loop was classified as the logo repeating over and over, as this is what is going on. When I attempted CM7 the blue circle/arrow just spun for 15+ minutes and with Juggernaut the "splash" colors thing just repeats over and over. No other screens appear.
Boot Loop, in my experience, has been when the logo is shown for a few minutes and then a quick (up to 30 seconds) black screen, phone vibrates and then the logo appears again repeating ad nauseam.

Yeah that is a boot loop ... the logo just hanging , is not a boot loop ..
I know it sounds strange, but try putting jug 4.1 and say the Faux123 kernel both on the phone, flash jug and then the kernel, then do a clear dalvik cache, and a fix permissions, then reboot, and let it sit for 10 - 30 minutes, I know it sucks ...
Can I flash these via odin somehow? Can no longer get into CWR after this last attempt.

I would Odin back to stock, root via odin, and then flash the superuser zip , there is a tutorial on it , I don't have the link handy ...

s4 mini i9195 boot loop, no recovery, only download mode

Hey!
I was trying to find this problem all around, but no luck. So I'm setting up new thread. Hope not to get redundant
A never rooted S4 mini died for no reason. In the morning we found it powered off and it couldn't be charged, other battery didn't help, nothing.
Long story short I managed to wake it up after complete dissassemble and playing with the battery connectors.
Now it starts up, but after the Samsung Logo it reboots = boot loop.
When I try to enter recovery, it tries to enter (I can see the blue "recovery booting"), but reboots immediately again.
The only thing that works is Download Mode.
So I used Odin to flash all CWM, PhilZ and TWRP subsequently. I got a bit further: in recovery mode it says "No command", then the usual "# MANUAL MODE #" etc and after few seconds it reboots again. So I still can't use recovery.
Does this all mean that the internal SD is fried?
I just need to recover the photos, that's all...
Thanks!

anything else i can try?
thanks

s6 g920p 32gb boot loop

Hey everyone looking for some help with my friends 32gb s6. He rooted the device last year with no custom recovery (googled and does not remember the site), installed rooted apps and the device was working fine. months later he decided to unroot and go back to stock. Everything was working fine until last week when out of the blue the device went into a boot loop. I told him at take a crack at it and see if i can help. The device does not go into recovery but it does go into download mode. The device does not power down and the battery eventually dies after many many boot loops. I tried to flash BOL1 as he told me that he was on 5.1.1, via odin (3.10.7)and it failed to flash. I was able to get a PIT file from within here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/help-galaxy-s6-sm-g920p-t3287963 so this is what i have noticed. If i flash the PIT file and reboot, the device goes into recovery. I then did a full wipe and cleared cache but the device keeps going into the boot loop. I see the samsung logo, then the green android screen and thats it as the device boot loops. I attempted to flash BOJ7 but it failed to flash. The way i can get a TAR file to flash is to flash the PIT file and then the TAR file but the device keeps going into the boot loop. I was able to flash both BOL1 and BOJ7 but experience the same results. I had the most success with BOJ7 after flashing twice but i had to place the device into download mode for me to flash a second time. The device made it past the first samsung screen, i saw the sammy splash screen and then it went into update 1 of 9.....made it to update 3 and then wham back to boot loop. That is as far as i got once I have also noticed that when i flash a TAR file when the device reboots i see the android screen loading the OS and it makes it about a quarter before it says "Erasing" and then the device goes into the boot loop. I have tried various BOL1 and BOJ7 files from the sammobile site and from within what i have found here at XDA but still no luck. I am not sure what else i can do which is why i am asking for help from you fine folks Any help is greatly appreciated.
****Resolved*****
flashed PIT and BOJ7 file from last update here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/help-galaxy-s6-sm-g920p-t3287963 device still boot looped. I let it sit for a while and then just flashed BOJ7 again without the PIT. Let it boot loop again until BAM began to load. In all prob took about 20 mins of just letting it do its thing, who knew....
Did you try recover it via Smart Switch?

Razer Phone stuck in bootloop

I tried to update to the latest update to the Razer Phone and was able to install it successfully, but when I went to install Magisk on the new update, it caused the Wifi to stop working. For that reason, I tried to restore my old TWRP backup I made prior to updating which everything was working before updating. I wiped cache, dalvik, data and system and restored my old backup. Now when I try to boot, it gets stuck at the Razer logo and doesn't get past that. I also tried wiping data and restoring the system image only to no avail and it didn't do anything.
Have you tried booting to TWRP and booting The other [email protected]
How long did you wait on the Razer logo.. When I reset my phone after relocking it.. It took 10+min for first boot. I was scared it wasn't gonna work but I just left it alone and it eventually booted itself up

Thanks. I'll try that and see if it works. But I let it sit for 5 or so minutes.
Edit: I'll go ahead and add it was stuck at the Razer logo. It never got to the actual boot animation.
Edit 2: I let it sit for 20+ minutes and it wouldn't boot or get past the Razer logo.

Yes I've tried switching slots and it didn't work.
Any luck with the stuck at logo screen? I followed instructions from Razer and fkashall and now it won't boot to recovery download or system . It just hangs at the logo screen for better part of 2 hours now so it's not a waiting game .. any luck in fixing yours?
hi there, same here after flashing google pixel experience on razer phone1. seems to be a general problem for many users. Any hints?
Best regards
Michael
I have the same problem, but I wasn't updating or installed any new app. I was just ordering food from an app and then all of a sudden my phone restared and got stuck in a bootloop.
I reflashed the stock rom, over and over, slot a or slot b, hoping that would fix it somehow... it's just stuck there now. I could go into download mode and recovery mode. but, it's only until there.
now it's bootloop until it gets into download mode...

I could fix it. After flashing (even Android Pi) you have to do a factory reset.
IMPORTANT: THE FACTORY RESET IN TWRP DOES NOT WORK. So you have to flash the boot-sector in your system partition with the stock boot.img and reset to STOCK RECOVERY by typing "fastboot reboot" and pressing the vol-up button. Once in stock recovery, do a factory reset and return to bootloader. Now you can flash the boot.partition with twrp boot.img, install in recovery the stock boot.img, install the twrp-installer.zip and reboot to system. The bootlogo will not stuck anymore.
I hope, I could help you. Do not forget to backup before trying.
Best regards
Mellus
