First off, I am only average at understanding a lot of the tech language that can come in some of these solutions, so english and explaining would be much appreciated. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 that has hyperdrive rom and is rooted. I restarted phone yesterday and am now stuck in bootloop. When the phone is booting up, right before booting android, it says at the bottom,
Initialisation finished...
Activating root access...
Beginning Android Boot sequence.
Then it just gets stuck there. I left the phone on overnight to see if it would move past there on its own and in the morning it is still stuck on that screen. I can remove the battery to restart the process. It starts to boot and safestrap: enabled appears. At the bottom it has recovery on the left and continue on the right. If press continue, then the next screen is where it gets stuck - Initialisation finished... Activating root access... Beginning Android Boot sequence. The recovery area is TWRP and where I don't quite understand everything. I came across where I could load the stock rom and was able to get past the bootloop screen, but then when I try to enter my security pattern it doesn't accept it. Is there any way to get past the security pattern/pin?
I would like to get past this bootloop screen, but would settle if I am able to just get all the data off the phone - contacts, texts, voice recordings, pics.
Please let me know what you think and how to fix this. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Could you let me know what variant of the S4 you have, i337, i9500, etc.? Try to recover your data by booting into your custom recovery. MTP file transfer should work from there.

Hello guys, my apology if I open this thread somewhere. I just couldn't find a perfect thread to post about these issues. My International Version Samsung Galaxy S3 won't boot up after I root it with ODIN. The rooting was fine as I was able to download some apps in google play for root users. Eventually, I restarted my phone & there you go! It didn't boot up, all I see was a samsung logo & then my phone dead again. I got into recovery mode(home + power + ctrl up), i tried 'wipe data/reset factory" but still to no avail after I reboot my device, it will take me to the start up set-up of samsung (just like when you unbox your phone, the set up message shown when you 1st turn on your phone) but I stucked on the language, after I select language, my phone hangs & dead again. I can get into download mode too (home+power+cntrl dwn) but it will just stuck me to "downloading... do not turn off target'. Can somebody help me with this? I read about flashing & stuff but I just dunno how to do it though I tried but using SGS3 toolkit but again I am stuch at waiting for debugging... ANy help is appreciated.. Thanks
Ok so I have tried on another thread that kind of went dry mainly cause I was MIA....but now I am back and have done some more reading up and think it is safe to say rooting and trying customer ROM's is not for me...lol I pretty much messed up a new Galaxy Tab 2 7' brand new only after a few weeks trying to root it. I had another thread link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834368&page=2
But I did not get anything to work right. At this point I am really just looking to get the tablet working. I don't really care what firmware rooted or unrooted...i just want to be able to use it....do some more research and and maybe join the rooting community again when I get a Galaxy S3.
I'd appreciate any help. I am pretty stuck right now!
Go into Download mode "power" plus "down volume", then up volume. Use ODIN to load this:

You will need driver from Samsung Keis install for P3113

FYI - I needed to load CMOC10-Kernel to get my tab to stop boot looping when I flashed JB AOKP

Continous boot loop on tab 2 p3113
My problems are kind of different from all the others I have read. Yes it is similar that it boot loops. But mine freezes at different areas in boot mode. This is driving me crazy and I am spending way too much time and effort trying to fix it. Hopefully you can help.
I don't really know for sure if the android os was 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or some other rom but it did state in download mode that it was original and not custom rom.
I received this tab from ebay and it is new never used, but somehow whoever had it probably tried to flash it and now I received it with a continuous loop. They stated that it stuck in SAMSUNG logo. I found it true but it also stuck other places as well. I did do a reset first before I attempted to flash it.
I did the Odin flashing.I found the 4.2.2 xar file HOME_XAR_P3113UEUCMK3_1978026_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and did according to instructions. But that didn't work. It did boot into android but it didn't stay there very long and rebooted itself. I couldn't stay more than 20-30 seconds and it would reboot itself or freeze at various places in android. I also hard reset it. Still same thing. It would also freeze on the first samsung logo tab 2 screen and also at the blue circle with samsung logo. It was different every time. I would have to hold down the on button until it rebooted. It also stalls or freezes during Android upgrading... Optimizing app at various number stages sometimes it goes thru that and then to the next phase of installing apps then it freezes again. I cannot get it to work if I try to upgrade via wireless upgrade to samsung. it will freeze even before it downloads the upgrade file.
I then flashed back to the original xar file P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC which is 4.1.1 That worked a little better, but it freezes and also the sound chatters when it freezes on bootup you know, when the samsung sound comes on then the blue circle.
Finally I tried to recover or flash from the recovery mode using the upgrade from a sdcard. using the original 4.1.1 xar file. It hewlped a little but still doing the continuous boot loop at different stages but it gets to the Android is upgrading... more often. It freezes always now.
So I don't know what else to do. You mentioned a CMOC10-Kernel to load, how does one go about doing that and what are the steps.
Thanks in return if you can suggest things.

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S5, stock and rooted. Today, I used Kies to update to the latest G900TUVS1FOJ4 patch. That worked fine with no issue, but it did clear my root. No problem. So then I used the tutorial on this site:
http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2015/02/root-g900tuvu1dob1-android-50-stock.html
to try to re-obtain root. (This was the tutorial I used previously and it worked fine.) However, this time, at the end, after Odin said "PASS" and the phone rebooted, it got stuck on the Samsung logo screen, and it will not go past it. I have gone into recovery and cleared the cache and done a factory wipe/reset, but it still gets stuck on the logo screen.
[Edit:] I am adding that after a long time of showing the Samsung logo screen (not sure how long), it does switch over to the white T-Mobile logo screen. Then that screen stays for a long time. I gave up and pulled battery to start over, but now it's doing it all over again.
[Edit 2:] I also want to add that the Samsung logo screen it is stuck on is not the colorful one, but the static black&white one, with "Powered by Android" at the bottom. In case that matters.
I can't figure out what to do next. I'm wary of following a tutorial on the web now, for fear it will be incorrect and do more damage.
What I want is to get past this, and end up with my phone on the new G900TUVS1FOJ4 patch, stock, and rooted.
Thank you,
Chris
Ok, I was able to flash stock G900TUVS1FOJ4, so my phone is no longer stuck, and I'm on the latest stock, but unrooted.
Now I am having trouble finding how to safely root it without doing the same thing again.
Any instructions out there for safely rooting this version?

Hey all,
I was hoping that someone here could please offer some advice that I'm having with my tablet. Using the Note 10.1 GT-N8000
So at the weekend I had an issue where the tablet just kept freezing on me, screen wouldn't time out, clock wouldn't update etc. So after several reboots I figured the only thing for it would be to wipe it and start again. So after getting to recovery mode I wipe the cache and then eventually did the full wipe thing. Booted up after that as expected like brand new so I did the whole reinstalling my apps and what not thinking everything was a-ok. So I came back to it a lil later and it's off (so i think the batts just died on me) plug it in and put it on charge and boot up and it won't get past the 'Galaxy Note 10.1' screen and just cycles in a constant loop. I tried to then go to recovery mode again and whilst the holding up and power gets me to the screen I would first see the android logo with the energy belly (no menu options appear) and it would instantly switch to an android logo on it's back with a red exclamation mark icon atop it, before returning to the boot loop. I've tried to get into Odin mode which i can successfully do.
I've looked at some threads here about similar issues but tbh with some terminology used I'm a bit unfamiliar with so was lost on them quite easy, my knowledge on these issues being rather basic.
If anyone could offer any assistance I would be most grateful
Thanks

Hi!
My Samsung J4+ gets stuck on the "Android Starting" screen during bootup then hangs. Whenever this happens, there are red dotted lines on some parts of the screen then the phone reboots only to go through the exact same thing again. Any idea how I can fix this? I haven't activated usb debugging on my phone unfortunately since it won't boot past that screen. Sometimes, it doesn't even get to the "Android Starting" Screen. It just reboots after showing the Samsung logo. I really hope you guys could help me out. I have zero knowledge on how to do things so a step by step guide would be deeply appreciated. I don't mind having my files deleted, I just really need to get my phone working again. Thank you very much!
That's called being soft bricked, use odin, go into download mode, flash twrp install a custom rom install magisk.
