Hi all.
the phone is stuck on this android is starting message.
This doesn't show OPTIMISING APPS, it just shows android is starting, and this bar animation from left to right.
I've gone to recover and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
this phone is like this for 15 minutes.
prior to this issue, the phone didn't respone to waking up so I pressed 10 seconds on the power button.
This phone is on 7.1.2 linage.
Can I regain my phone back?
This usually happens if there's no launcher.
Sideload a launcher apk like CPL and reboot

hey guys, i hope you all doing fine.
i must admit that i really [email protected]#ed up this time. I was messing around with the software "rom toolbox" and i tried to freeze all of the system apps. after the progress bar reached 100% percent the phone started to constantly pop-up a message box which says that the "Dialer" app is crashed. after i click "force close" on that, it pops up again with the same message. between the pop-ups theres like half a second time which i can access the rom toolbox program so i tried and defroze the dialer application. now the pop-up is gone. after that i tried to enable the "Home" app to be able to access the home screen. But it somehow didn't response and i was forced to shut down the phone by pressing and holding down the power button. Now when i turn on the phone, first the LG logo then the LG animation come on screen but after like 10 seconds nothing happens the LG logo stays on screen and then again the LG animation.
I have clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.0 installed and be able to boot into it but it doesn't have an option to defreeze apps. i don't have any nandroid backups and i don't want to hard reset either.
What can i do?
Install again some rom

What ROM are you using?
If you want to manually shut down the tablet, press power and volume up while plugged into a power source. It shouldn't power back on.

Samsung reboots

I am experiencing the same problem with reboot. I updated Tab 2 (PS5113) to 4.2.2 rom through the automatic update via WIFI (on Aug 30,2013). When you turn off normally, the screen shuts down (glows for about 15 sec before full black) then turns back on. Generally the second time I turn it off (in a row) it will turn fully off. I have tried turning off with or w/o connection to WIFI, and tried turning off all programs through applications manager (as well as clearing ram) first. One suggestion was to clear cache partition (hold down power on and volume down button) but this resulted in a quick error message (android logo lying down with X through it), so I am not sure that the cache was cleared. Since I never tried to clear cache before upgrade, I don't know if it is an isue with this upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any help.
It seems as though the OTA update was installed incorrectly. Perhaps a file is corrupt or you have an app installed that is causing an issue with the shutdown process. Is your install rooted? I would recommend either performing a factory restore, or re-flash your devices firmware with ODIN (Use with caution!) Either way, please post your intentions. Have you tried anything other than clearing your cache? Did you recently install an application? Let me know
Best of luck,

In the morning, I have experienced the same thing, I use the cm-10.1.3-RC2-p5110.zip
I had to shut down twice.
Rebooting
My device is not rooted (purchased in March). The update was through the Samsung notification - automatic (except for saying proceed). The update went smoothly - no error messages. However, after update, the Nook app would not open so I uninstalled the original and reinstalled through Google Play. In addition, the home page was changed, Samsung putting back on the Media Hub and removing all of my personal folders - icons (very irritating). The standard weather app and calendar widgets were larger than original after update (pushing the calendar off into page 2), so I removed and added the G0 Weather app (I have since removed it to see if the Tab will shut off - it still needs 2 shut downs. As I mentioned before, after the first shut down, the tablet keeps a slight glow for about 20 sec., then goes black, then immediately restarts (as if during the glow something is happening??). On 2nd shutdown, glow is for 5 sec. then off complete.
I prefer not to root (yet) but am uncertain how to proceed with factory restore if I have updated through Samsung. Might it not just reload a faulty OS? As I mentioned, wiping the cache did not seem to work.
Thanks again.
Ok, so I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 16gb wifi. it has many apps installed, almost 200 mb left. Then, it went into an infinite reboot, like rebooting into the home screen and a few dialogs will be displayed like "Google Play store had stopped" then it will show my lockscreen app, espier locker (or something, forgot it) then it will reboot, again and again. I tried getting it into a service center to get it repaired, but they said the power button was broken or something, but the reboots were constant, they had patterns (logo, homescreen, then few apps will stop, then lockscreen, then reboot) also, i tried data wipe and cache wipe in the stock recovery, and it says success, but everything was still in there, like nothing happened. I also can't flash CWM or any ROM into it, it says passed, but nothing happens. Also, it is out of warranty, as it was bought a year ago. What will i do now?
help please?
Hi,
I received the Lollipop OTA last night. I installed the Update and the phone was working "ok" today. As it seemed to be a bit slow (for example the animations and the response to touch input), I thought about doing a factory reset tonight to set up the system from scratch on.
After backup of all my data, I selected "Factory reset" from the settings menu. The phone turned off and started to delete all data after I had entered my locksreen pattern. Now the problems started:
1) After around 5 minutes of erasing data, the process stopped and the screen showed the android figure with the red exclamation mark.
2) I restarted the phone by pressing the On/Off Button --> Deleting of files continues again. The phone is now deleting files for around 45 minutes, but nothing happens.
Is this normal? I am a bit scared that I am stuck in some king of "erase loop". As I need my phone in a few hours, I would be happy if someone could help me.
Some more information if needed:
- OTA to Android 5 from 4.4.4
- German Nexus 5 bought on Google Play
- Phone was never rooted
Thank you in advance for your help!
According to this here, be patient and let it run its course.
I'm in the exact same position you were in. Please tell me this worked out ok....
EDIT: it's finished, and now booting up... nearly an hour, and it's back.

It took 90 minutes to delete the data before the phone booted again. The first boot took also around 10 minutes but now everything is working fine and fast

I'm having the same problem, sitting on the android guy and erasing... I also went to the android guy with a red exclamation mark twice already. It has been doing your for about an hour. I really hope it finishes soon, this takes way too long!
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Nexus. It started rebooting every 5 seconds, with different outcomes.
At first it was rebooting, then updating the apps, then when it reached the block screen, it reboots.
Tried to enter recovery and it reboots even in recovery.
I can't recover the data because the system is not up for that long to allow internal drive recognition.
What should I do in your opinion?
I tried also to clear cache or enter safe mode, but it reboots anyway.. During the spinning logo, before, after. It's quite random.
Power button could be stuck
I have the same problem, although it comes and goes over the last 24 hours. At first I thought it was an app, then I thought it was Android System WebView. I saw a post that said it could be a sticky power button, so I tried pressing it in different spots and that seems to have fixed it for now. I may get the power button replaced if this persists.
Sounds like a bad power button. There are a few threads in this forum about it. Best solution is to have a lab replace it.
