I mistakenly froze my default home screen app in the Titanium Backup app and now the home screen went black. I restarted on phone and it will not pass the galaxy logo when restarting. It is stuck there. Any idea on how to go about fixing this besides factory reset? Galaxy S6 Edge
Hi, unfortunately the only solution to your problem that I know of would be to factory reset your device, however if you back up the data partition to a USB OTG stick or the root of your device using a custom recover eg. TWRP you should be able to restore your data using a custom recovery.

So I had previously disabled the stock launcher and then last night tried using the ultra power saving mode, forgetting that it requires the touchwiz launcher. My phone is unrooted FYI. It's currently stuck on the Verizon splash screen. I tried safe mode, clearing cache, rebooting from recovery, etc.
Is there anyway to... 1). Recover data before factory resetting? 2). Push the launcher.apk via ADB or something to stop the boot loop? 3). Restore system data without overwriting user data? 4). Root (while preserving knox) from my mac while the phone is off/recovery/bootlooping 5).Get it to boot normally, not in UPSM?
Generally my phones are always rooted, so I forget what options there really are on un-rooted phones.
Thanks

i have the same problem on my ecoo e04, i 've frozen "Catapult Launcher" and it crashed and reboot.
Now it doesnt boot. It arrives to the point of the end of the boot animation and then it stops (screen freezes).
Is there a way to install a launcher, maybe via sdcard (i mean, "autoinstallation" ).. or enable usb debugging .. or access the userdata to backup it .. or access the internal disk to manually de-froze Catapult ?
recovery menu is in chinese lang, it only allows a total wipe of emmc. ..
My Galaxy S6 is in Bootloop.
When the lock screen appears it restarts, staying in this situation forever. I did full backup on TWRP, then did a clean rom flash (Noble Nougat 5.1), it restarted and I set it up normally. When I joined TWRP and restored Data to get back with my apps, the bootloop problem came back. I tried to get into safe mode to uninstall some app that was conflicting, but even going into safe mode it rebooted by itself.
I can copy any file from my S6 to an external hard drive through the TWRP file manager.
Is there any way to back up some applications in the situation that my S6 is? There are some apps that I can not lose data for nothing.

Maybe that's because you are trying to recover apps from an old android/system version.

Try with this dr.fone - unlock, it can help to remove forgotten password from Samsung Galaxy S6, no data loss! Watch this video: youtu.be/BOZOMqgSKhc
I have this SM-T110R Samsung Tab 3 with TWRP installed, whenever I turn off the tablet and turn it back on it goes back to the data when I first turned on the tablet and doesn't save any of my data at all, it used to boot loop but doesn't anymore.
My suspection is that it was when I factory resetted everything from TWRP which caused it and I even tried reflashing the stock rom but nothing works.
What can I do?
Hello,
my friends Samsung Galaxy A51 crashed while using it, opening a google docs link she received via WhatsApp.
Restarting the phone will only show Samsung logo, then Samsung Galaxy A51 logo and then dead again. No boot loop.
In the morning the wake up alarm set in the phone plays its chimes but display remains black.
Rebooting phone with holding volume down doesn't work.
The phone is not rooted or flashed.
I can enter Recovery mode. Tried to restart system. Tried to delete cache. Tried to repair apps. None of this changed anything.
I can connect via adb but only in Sideload mode. Hoped to unsintall Samsung Browser as this might be a damaged app. But I don't have permission because USB debugging is not toggled. I tried adb restart and adb restart recovery. Phone will no restart to Android. Restarting to recovery works but doesn't solve the problem.
I can bring the phone to Download mode. Btw. none of the tutorials helped to do this. At some point I double-tapped the power button and was surprised to get into Download mode. I wanted to flash TWRP recovery to the phone to get more options to backup and recovery. Unfortunatley the OEM protection did not allow me to flash TWRP recovery.
My friend is from Ukraine and has her Ukrainian banking app registered with this phone and currently no other possibility to access her bank account. Also she has a lot of data like contacts, messages, photos and videos only on this phone. So we can not do a factory reset.
Do you have any other ideas for troubleshooting?
Do you have any ideas how to remove OEM protection without access to OS so I can at least flash TWRP and do a backup?
Do you have any other idea how I could backup the phone?
Unfortunately I still have not been successful to get the phone working again or to backup or read any data.
Just to add another information: I drained the battery to 0% so the phone was totally dead. I was not optimistic that this full power off might help any more than the restarts I did so far. But running out of ideas. It didn't help or change anything.
I'm afraid only a factory reset could at least repair the phone :-(

Without OEM-Unlocking and USB-Debugging you will not be able to install TWRP and if so then all data would be gone automatically anyway, as this is equivalent to a factory reset.
The only way would be to download the STOCK-ROM with "Frija" (quick and free) and flash it with "Odin". Of course, the mobile phone is then virgin and has to be set up again from the beginning. A Google login restores a lot of data. Setting up the banking app again (username & password, etc.) shouldn't be a problem either.
Of course you can also try a factory reset first, but setting up a completely new one is not avoided here either.
Much luck!
