Dead Android/ yellow exclamation mark when booting into recovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I like to periodically wipe the cache after taking updates, etc. When I boot into recovery, I first get "installing update" and then it shows me a yellow exclamation mark with the dead Android guy. After I wipe the cache, the dm-verity check flashes a red message, but if flashes so quickly that I cannot make it out.
Any ideas on what is going on/what to do? Has anyone else seen this? I have a standard Verizon S7, obviously unrooted etc. I do have the SD card unmounting issue and I do not know if this is somehow related. Thanks.

Boot Loop for Galaxy S5 (G900T) - Never rooted

Today, my mom's GS5 became stuck in a boot loop and I don't know how it happened since it's her phone and neither does she. I believe it is running 5.1.1 but I could be off by an update or two. The phone is NOT rooted and has never had any software customizations at all.
When booting, the green android pops up for maybe two-tenths of a second saying "installing system update..." and then it quickly changes to saying "no command" at which point the white screen with "T-mobile" comes up and gets stuck there, giving off a small vibration every 13 seconds.
I know the battery was low when this starting happening, so maybe the phone could have been installing an update and the battery died during it, but my mom didn't initiate an update as far as she knows (she's not too tech savy), but I can't say with any certainty how it happened.
I have already tried removing the battery. I can boot into recovery mode and I tried wiping the cache but that didn't fix anything. I can't boot into safe mode.
If anyone has any solutions or ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'm hoping to not have to wipe the internal memory because there are a ton of prom pictures on there from just last weekend that were just taken and haven't been backed up, so my mom really wants those back. I know I've managed to flash my Droid Razr M before when it was rooted and stuck in a bootloop and I managed to keep my internal data somehow, so I'm hoping it is possible
Thanks in advance for any help!

NOTE 4 N910F Bootlooop, Shuts down, Blue Light

Hi
I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,
have access to both the recovery and the Odin Mode,
I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in Belgium.
I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light
Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.
In between I do perform a wipe of the cache and factory reset of course. (in both normal and TWRP recovery)
Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.
Oh and I can transfer files directly to the internal storage with no issue
Please help a brother out lol. I have spent the last 4 days looking for a way to fix this. To no avail.
And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.
I have the exact same problem. Doesn't anyone have an idea?

Verizon Galaxy S7 only booting to a white "Verizon" screen

My wife's S7 is only booting to the verizon logo (with the little colored circles moving below). Long story short:
1) I was trying to back up her pictures to my PC and all of them disappeared from her phone when I drug them to my PC (6 months of pics). Not sure how that happened.
2) In my panic, I downloaded an application called DR. Fone which professed to be able to get the pics back.
3) After installing the app and connecting the phone, I started the recovery process, which rebooted the phone to a "downloading" screen and then booted to the Verizon logo I have been trapped on ever since.
I have tried powering off, rebooting, clearing the cache from recovery to no avail. I have a feeling that this app altered the bootloader or firmware and now I'm stuck.
Booting into recovery ends up with a "No Command" error. I can get into the Android Recovery menu from there ... but I don't want to wipe it just yet.
Any ideas what could be keeping me stuck on that screen?
Pleeeeaaaaasseee help!
Install this rom, connect to your computer with the verizon upgrade assistant running after the rom is installed. The verizon upgrade assistant should see the phone and you can update it from there.

Stuck on "Starting Android..."

Hi Guys
I used Odin to reflash my Galaxy S10+ dual sim (duos) as it was experiencing some slowness. I used the Singapore firmware as it uses the same "G975FXXU1ASBA" model name.
The process completed successfully but when the phone boots, it gets past the Samsung logo screen and then gets stuck on a blank black screen with "Starting Android..." showing in the middle. I can swipe down from the top to show the toolbar, but it is limited in what I can select from it and the phone doesn't get to the point where the home screen boots.
I'm guessing this could be an app optimization process but after 4 hours, it was still on this screen.
I've tried re-flashing (redownloading the firmware files), clearing the cache and rebooting the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas?
In case you do want to start clean anyway, have you tried doing a reset in the recovery menu (where you are wiping the cache)? This will wipe all data.
I may have to try the full wipe, which is something I wanted to avoid but seems I have no choice.
Hopefully that at least solves the problem.
I have the same problem but I cannot get it to boot into recovery or download mode. I was flashing Magisk at the time. Odin said it worked but now it wont pass the initial stating android... Odin detects the phone but can talk to it. ADB does not even detect the phone. Phone power and reset come on. if i hold both volume the assistant comes on and if i hold bixby the safemode tag appears in the bottom corner but it still wont boot past Starting Android or boot into download mode

Nexus Player suddenly bricked. Need help

Hi guys,
I've been using my Nexus player for over 5 years without any hassle, didn't do any mod. Just plug it into my TV and enjoy it daily. Suddenly this morning, when I turn it on, It starts with "Checking for updates" and then "Something went wrong, please try again later" message stuck on the white screen. I can't do anything else. So, I thought a wipe to the cache would be good enough, booted into the recovery mode and wipe/format cache partition.
It took too long. I wait about 10 mins it still stuck at "formatting cache partition". So I unplugged it and reboot again.
Sadly, it won't boot into recovery mode or normal mode. It stuck at "no command' screen. Need help with what else I can do or how to go back to recovery again to factory reset.
Thanks.
