Okay, my device is rooted and I tried to do a cold boot, but it wouldnt restart after 10 sec so I pressed the first icon there, it made my device to factory reset for some reason, it said installing update or something, luckely I had a back up. However after the reset I cannot get past the autherization for connecting to my local wifi anymore, which worked before, any ideas what happened?

So today my droid started messing up, home and recents button didnt work. Google play store and whatnot couldnt access data, the signal status bar at the top was just grey.
So i factory reset it. During the reset it just sat there on the little screen with the spinning hexball thing for like an hour so i shut the phone off. Now every time the phone boots it just tries to wipe it again unless i go into the boot menu and hit normal boot.
Running stock rom and whatnot, but im rooted.
I know that theres a flag somewhere that it reads on boot saying to wipe it, but dang if i know what to change.
Thanks in advance
Well i unrooted my phone and tried to let it redo the factory reset again, and it still just wont do anything.

When this happens to me, it's because of a bad flash and a factory reset won't fix it. I would suggest reflashing stock...

I dont have a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader.
I managed to get the problem sorted out through some unrooting and some non stock system file deletion. Installed safestrap and got blurry hd running on it now.
Thanks.
I just picked up this phone yesterday. I started setting it up and found an encryption feature I thought would be useful as I deal with sensitive data. I read the instructions which said that the phone will take an hour or so to complete encryption, and I saw it restart and progress through the progress bar that appeared. It then went onto the Samsung logo and stayed there for about 2 hours. I got concerned and thought it had frozen so I restarted the phone using the 3 keys. Now it just recycles and gets to the Samsung logo and doesn't progress?!
Have you tried to factory reset or the data is not a thing that you can lose.
I had to find out how to factory reset via the boot. I've done that and my phone successfully works again. The issue was I couldn't get into the phone to reset - it was stuck on the Samsung logo, so resetting from boot was the only way (and thankfully it worked)

Glad you fixed it! Be careful next time!
First off, I am not using TWRP!
This is the second time this happened. S7 Verizon.
My phone randomly restarted and is stuck at the Verizon logo. It vibrates with a quick double "pulse."
This happened before, and I had to factory reset it.
In recovery mode, it said this when I rebooted the phone http://i.imgur.com/876XTSc.png
Any idea what happened? Both times I had to factory reset. Don't have any custom ROMs or anything like that.

Hi mate
Better ask in the Verizon Forum
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Phone stopped responding, so I tried to force a reboot; it wouldn't recognize my pattern anymore, so I booted into TWRP and deleted locksettings.db, whereupon system hung up on "Android is Starting". So, went back to TWRP to attempt to wipe data, and phone would not let me set up; just stayed on "Just a sec" progress bar.
I'm at the point where I'm about to install a factory image and start fresh. Ideas?
Mine told me that the pattern wasn't correct, so my first move was to boot to twrp. Since that took my pattern, I knew that it wasn't incorrect, so I just booted straight without altering anything. It ended up accepting my pattern that time. I've had it happen a few times that it didn't recognize my pattern, then after a reboot, it was fine.

I unfortunately didn't get it that easy...had to do a factory reset.
Oddly, this happened right after I got locked out of my Facebook account...
I really need help! Friend was messing with my phone and selected to factory reset it. I quickly grabbed it away but it already began to reboot, however I did not let it reboot. I forced it off.
Any chance I can still stop the factory reset process? I have TWRP installed but seem to be getting the factory reset splash screen when I hold volume down+power.
Has the damage been done, or not yet? Please tell me there's a way to bypass the reset. I do not have a removable battery.
Get to recovery mode and backup your phone and reboot. That's the last option I guess

How do I enter recovery without the factory reset from starting?

If you turned off, you already stopped it. It will not try to continue when you reboot the device. But, there is no way to know if anything was wiped or not, until you reboot the device and find out. If it wiped anything, it's gone, unless you can use any of the various data recovery programs on PC to recover the lost data, if it is possible to retrieve it.

I heard that the factory reset is "locked" into your phone as soon as it turns off, but it doesn't begin the process of wiping until after the first boot. I think I have partially confirmed this because when I try to boot, I get the android updating splash screen, which I guess means it is about to wipe. I force it off as soon as I see that screen, but before the phone has time to officially begin any process, so I am unable to boot into android or recovery.
Is there a way to mount my internal partition to my PC without turning the phone on, like through fastboot?

The reset was already started, you originally interrupted it before it could "finish" the "wipe" then, when you rebooted, it is starting the "reload" process(android is upgrading) where it loads the system and whatever personal data is still there, if any personal data remains from the interrupted wipe.
As I said, all you can do now is let it finish booting, then use data recovery software to hopefully retrieve your lost data, or take it as a learning lesson if the data is irretreivable.
