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.

Any assistance given will be appreciated.

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
Hi i'm currently stuck with a problem. This problem started i entered download mode and got a prompt saying "Installing a custom OS can cause harm to this device, do you want to install a custom OS?" I clicked on no and now my phone just keeps going to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, powered by android screen. I have tried many solutions but none of them work. I have tried booting into recovery mode but nothing happens, when I try to boot into download mode it just goes back to the splash screen. Please Help! :crying:

You want to press VOLUME UP, power and home buttons. Hold until you see Samsung then release. You are booting up in download mode by mistake.
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!
Hi. During watching a YouTube video on my Core Plus, screen turned black and device rebooted. And it got stuck on Samsung logo with the model (not the boot animation, the screen where you're going to recovery). I rebooted it by long press the power button. I tired to get it onto recovery, after a dozen of attemps I did it, but I've been so stupid... I thonk that it's fixed, so selected Reboot->System... As you know, it stuck at logo again. Now I can only take it to download mode. Is there any way to recover with Odin and download mode? Uhh... I now have only HTC Wildfire alive...
Try to flash a custom recovery through adb.
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
